The whole experience was a 10/10. The food, customer service, appearance and quality from start to finish..Everything was chef’s kiss or maybe I should kiss the chef lol. I’ll definitely be returning.

We went there around noon. It wasn’t very busy, but we still had to wait a bit. It’s a child-friendly restaurant, though the space is small, so we had to park the stroller outside. The staff are warm and patient, and we really appreciated their heartfelt service. The food was excellent. We ordered fried rice, and the seafood was fresh and the portions were generous. We definitely want to try more dishes next time.

Amazing experience at Mawn, tried the majority of the menu shared across the table. Will definitely be back. Service was really great and knowledgeable and the food was coursed well to experience the food. Depth of flavor was the key ingredient across the board - deep and rich no matter which dish. Khao Soi was a highlight as was the Saht Koh beef skewer. BYOB

One of the best restaurants I've been to in some time! That rare place where every dish was excellent. Our server, Chelsea, was soooo nice and helpful. As were the rest of the staff. We got soft shell shrimp, beef noodle soup, fried chicken skins (who would've thought you could make fried chicken any better? But Mawn figured it out lol), steak on stick and seafood fried rice. Order them all and you will be happy ????.

The food was absolutely delicious! We got Thai Crab Fried Rice, Saht Koh, Beef Noodle Katiew and the Fried Chicken. All of the dishes were well seasoned, fresh and piping hot! Our server was delightful and provided thorough descriptions of the dishes. The service all around was superb! A 10/10 experience!

Consistently incredible service, presentation, and technical skill behind every dish every time I've eaten at Mawn (about 5 times). This is one of the best restaurants in Philadelphia.

Cambodian restaurant located in the Bella vista neighborhood of south Philly. The food was so amazing. The clams in the lemongrass broth, delicious! The uni topped off with the roe over the seafood fried rice was so good, you definitely taste the southeast asian flavors. Plus it's a byob so bring your own

Find the one -- ONE! -- person you like the best, and take them to lunch at Mawn as soon as possible. The hours that they are open are few, their seating is limited, and their popularity is off the charts. But, there's a loophole you can and should exploit: Unlike dinner, where a reservation is a *must*, lunch is walk-ins only. They have quite a few two-tops and a few four tops, which is why you go with one other person, to maximize your chances at snagging a table. Once seated, if you're hungry, do yourself a service and get many small dishes. Each was worthy of five stars. My friend and I shared the Burmese ginger & melon salad, which was perfect for a hot day, and a Saht Koh ribeye skewer marinated in galangal and lemongrass. Normally this is a dinner-only menu item, but was a special lunch item that day. The beef MELTS off of the skewer, it barely needed to be bitten. No joke: It's in my top 3 beef-based bites I've ever had. As we were leaving, we spied an older couple next to us who got the same order, only they had five or six skewers. Clearly they had been there before and they understood the assignment. For my main, I had the yellow curry noodle soup with tofu, and my friend had the night market noodles. They were both flavorful, but not overpoweringly spicy, and, like most noodle soups, deceptively filling. Service was very attentive and friendly, but they did neglect to put in our drink order. However, I was so enamored with the flavor of our food that I quite literally forgot that I had ordered it and didn't notice that it never came. When giving us the check, we asked them to remove the drinks from the bill, which they happily and apologetically did. I live very close to the Philadelphia's Southwest Asian neighborhood, and have been to quite a few of the restaurants with that cuisine, but NONE are as good as this. Find your best friend, loved one, or your favorite child, and go, and if the people who didn't take find out you went and get mad at you, then go BACK and take them. You won't be disappointed.

Cute ambiance, good attentive and welcoming service, great food! Do not miss out if you can get a reservation! We were able to snag a reservation on a Saturday at 5pm. We were seated immediately in a small but cozy dining area, right against the front window so we could people-watch while we ate. The place is BYOB but they also have some teas and other drinks you can order. I got the house lemonade. It was not too sweet and was minty. It was refreshing. All food is served as it becomes ready but for an appetizer, we got the prohok dip. I really enjoyed adding the pork dip to the crunchy refreshing cabbage leaves. The dip was savory and flavorful! We ordered the khao soi and the beef noodle katiew as the main dishes with the market vegetable with egg as a side. For just cabbage with seasoning and a runny egg, the market veggie was so delicious! Perfectly salty and tasty with the egg adding a bit of butteriness. It was one of my favorite dishes. Khao soi was rich, the chicken was tender. Great dish! My husband ordered the beef noodle katiew which was also a flavorful noodle soup. We finished with the funnel cake which was perfectly crispy and crunchy on top and then light, fluffy, spongy moist on the bottom. It had a wonderful caramel sauce on it as well! Overall, this was a stellar restaurant. The reservation process is a little difficult but if you can get one, it is well worth the wait!

Had to make a reservation about a month in advance to eat here. This is an awesome restaurant and certainly worth the wait. Everything I had was expertly done, plated well, and absolutely delicious. Our server was an expert and made our dining experience seem like a Michelin star experience (Emmanuel I think). I really didn't know what to expect with any of these dishes as I didn't look at the Yelp photos beforehand, but I was pleasantly surprised by each one -- each one creative and executed very well. Prohok Dip - The crisp and large cabbage pieces really made this dish -- each piece firm, holding the dip well and providing a refreshing element to the dish. The dip itself was flavorful -- very savory. At times, this was a little messy as the sauce really didn't have much to latch onto, but the textures and flavors worked really nicely together. Market Vegetables - Another round of crisp cabbage in this dish. Here, the seasoning was the star of the show, which coated the veggies and the egg. Very good. The seasoning was really everything. I probably would swap this for another dish next time, but worth trying. Beef Noodle Soup - The oxtail was the star of this dish -- so tender. The beef was good too, but I could've eaten the oxtail all day. The dish in general is very similar to pho, so if you like pho, you'll love this. This was a fairly large dish, but still best as a single person item -- hard to share this one. Khao Soi - This one was a little difficult to share too -- but we did it. This was probably my favorite of the night. So delicious and savory. So many flavors melding together to make this dish absolutely excellent. Plated well too. Highly recommend this one. The crispy noodles were fun too and helped to break up the texture. Funnel Cake - At the end of our meal, I really thought this would be too much since we were stuffed, but it seemed much lighter than other funnel cakes I've had. We shared this dish, and it was the perfect size. The caramel sauce was light and abundant. The actual cake was fluffy and mildly sweet. The coconut wasn't very prominent, but I really liked this one. Value: 4/5 Quality: 5/5 Quantity: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5
