• Cambodian • Bella Vista

Booked 428 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.

Door to the indoor restaurant was locked even though the outdoor dining area was closed due to weather. A little inconvenient, especially for the elderly. Served martinis in wine glasses. Server said they did not have martini glasses available.

This was my second time here. The first was for brunch but this time it was for dinner and again I had a great time. Vibes were nice (wished they played more reggae/dancehall to end the night), drinks did their job and the food from apps to entrees were delicious!
