Price: Very Expensive
• Cambodian • Bella Vista
Booked 4 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.

    Adoro Restaurant is a hidden gem that offers an unforgettable dining experience. During my recent visit, I was delighted by the warm and welcoming atmosphere, where every detail seemed designed to ensure comfort and enjoyment. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding a personal touch to the experience. The menu showcased a fantastic selection of dishes, but the standout for me was the chicken parmesan. It was perfectly cooked -crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with a rich tomato sauce and melted cheese that elevated the dish to perfection. Each bite was a symphony of flavors that left a lasting impression. Beyond the food, Adoro's ambiance struck a balance between elegance and coziness, making it a versatile choice for any occasion. Whether you're looking for a romantic evening, a family meal, or just some time to unwind, this restaurant has it all. Adoro Restaurant truly lives up to its name-you'll adore every aspect of your visit.
