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.

Pizza is a family affair for me. My Uncle arrived in America in the 1930s with a passion for pizza. He worked hard and eventually bought his own pizzeria in Brooklyn. It was there that Uncle invented a recipe for coal oven pizza. That recipe has been perfected over 60 years and passed down through the generations.Here in Philadelphia you can dine at 2 Pietro's locations: 1714 Walnut Street, and Radnor, Pa. I hope that you enjoy our classic style pizzas and pasta specialties "alla familia" for many years to come. Buon appetito

    Service was slow, but has a great selection of beer. The onion soup was delicious and the schnitzel was just OK.

    Fun atmosphere and great service. Enjoyed our food (legendary burger and chicken sandwich) and drinks (draft beer and Mango Tango non-alcoholic drink). The tables are very packed together, though, so don’t expect a private dining experience.

    Went to TingTing’s for dinner today with my friend we had the Crispy Calamari and the Popcorn Chicken for our appetizers they were amazing especially considering they were gluten free cooked perfectly so flavorful. I have celiac disease and had maybe the best gluten free dish I’ve ever had for my entree with their Baked Creamy Seafood over fried rice, my friend had the Spicy Kimchi Bacon Spaghetti and really enjoyed it. But where TingTing’s really shines is with their service our Waitress was amazing so friendly and on top of everything she’s one of the main reasons we will be back and why this was a top notch experience, I couldn’t put TingTing’s over enough.
