Mawn’s New Seafood Restaurant Sao Opens With Cambodian Seafood in Philly | Eater Philly

"A Cambodian noodle house with “no rules,” this Bella Vista standout has become one of the city’s most exciting dining destinations and earned Phila Lorn recognition from the James Beard Foundation as 2025’s Emerging Chef. The operation is split between a noodle station in the main dining room and the rest of the kitchen in back, it’s BYOB-only with zero ambition to pursue a liquor license, and the popularity means it’s a hot reservation. The experience emphasizes a pooled-service model where everyone works together and takes care of you — an approach the team aims to replicate at their new seafood sibling." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
