1. Mawn

Exceptional(101)

$$$$Price: Very Expensive

• Cambodian • Bella Vista

Booked 3 times today

Mawn is a noodle house with “no rules,” and the first restaurant for Chef Phila Lorn and his wife Rachel, who bring with them close to 20 years of experience in Philly’s restaurant scene. Phila, pronounced “Pee La,” broken English for Philadelphia, is a first-generation Cambodian-American chef. The first in his family to be born here, his parents and siblings came to Philadelphia as refugees in 1985 after surviving the war in Cambodia.Mawn, which means “chicken” in Khmer, the Cambodian language, represents more than one thing. To Phila, chicken was at every meal growing up, and to his parents, chicken represented peacetime. During the war and genocide of the Cambodian people, there was mostly only what was found in nature to eat, including rice and salt. If there was chicken, it meant no war. At the end of that dark time, recipes were lost, and culture was wiped out, but through survival, a new authenticity was born.

Our experience was amazing! The staff was so sweet and quick to help us. Our waitress was extremely kind to help us celebrate our anniversary at the Aqimero. We had plenty of time to ourselves to talk while still feeling like the waitress was on top of our needs the entire night. The food came out perfectly and tasted nothing short of amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or nicer staff to serve for our anniversary dinner.

Our waiter was very good and personable. Our food arrived rather quickly. The arugula salad was excellent (I had it with salmon instead of shrimp). Very tasy. The lentil soup was very tasty as well. All and all a very good meal. I've dined in on many occasions and whether I dine solo or with a group I have had the same excellent dining experience virtually every time!
