We are from California and our first time here. When I walked in I thought I was in the wrong place. It looked closed as they were painting inside and it didn't look inviting. The FOOD is delicious. Worth it. The City is dirty and will probably not visit again!!!

Bella Vista

About the restaurant

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.

This was the best experience we’ve ever had. Chef Kevin was amazing and the omakase was out of this world. The speakeasy aspect of it being beyond a bookcase only added to the experience and made it that much cooler. My husband said it was the best birthday dinner!

They did an excellent job for only being open for a short time. The service was great. The wine by the glass is outrageously priced. We will be back.

I’m not sushi expert - but I enjoyed the sushi and thought all of it was well prepared and tasted very good. Service was friendly. I also really enjoyed the Tiramisu dessert. Ambiance was nice

About the restaurant

The Story of Josephine’s
The story of Josephine’s begins during our executive chef Daniel LeBoon’s childhood. At eight years old, working for his father’s catering company, Daniel discovered a passion for food. This love — and undeniable talent — saw him intern at Philadelphia’s prestigious Le Bec-Fin. He went on to work in Paris at the venerable Hotel Vernet working under the renowned chef’s Alain Solvere and Alain Ducasse. In 2004, Daniel purchased Josephine’s in Marietta and developed an extremely loyal following based on the combination of great food, great atmosphere and great hospitality. Although Josephine’s closed in 2011, the name and the experiences are fondly remembered by countless people.
