Price: Very Expensive
• Cambodian • Bella Vista
Booked 11 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.

    Great dinner and atmosphere, all the food was delicious. Service was good and although the restaurant was understaffed the evening we were there the waiter was very attentive and gracious. Would not hesitate to return next time I am in the area.

    Out to dinner with 5 friends - ordered all different dishes on the menu so we could try a variety of things. We shared everything. The flavors, the textures, the presentation - all were amazing. Each dish had distinctly unique and delicious tastes. The cod dumplings were tender and delicious, the bao buns were flavorful and tasty, the orange chicken parm - cooked perfectly with that hint of orange that made it tingle (in a good way) on your tongue. The brisket was simply amazing - falls apart on the fork and is the tastiest brisket I've ever had in my life. Each dish brought out different flavors and textures and were all delicious. 5 out of 5 for sure! Oh - and the server was astute, delightful, helpful, present and available when desired and responsive!!!

    We’ve been going there for years. I wasn’t happy about the food last time. There must be a new chef because it was again worth going to. BUT previously the always allowed us to order happy hour while sitting at a table. (Disabled and can’t sit on bar stools). They said the policy it to not allow it now. We’re neighbors. It’s a shame.
