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.

    I had an amazing dinner at Mawn with my boyfriend, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The atmosphere was inviting, and every dish we tried from the appetizers to dessert was delicious. Our favorite was the Khai Soi. Every dish was bursting with rich, complex flavors. The entire experience was a 10/10, and we’re already excited to come back!

    We had a great dinner on a quiet Thursday night. Our server (wish I remembered her name) was lovely; friendly and prompt. We started with the eggplant stackarini to share and it was sooooo tasty. I had the special pasta offering of the night, the spicy sausage orecchiette, and my friend had the braised short rib ravioli. Both were stellar. We finished with their in-house cannoli which was the perfect end to a all-around great meal. And who can beat BYOB?! Will be happy to return soon!
