The 15 Best Shrimp Dishes In Philadelphia - Philadelphia - The Infatuation
"Located in Bella Vista, Mawn is a small Cambodian restaurant with some of our favorite food in town. But it’s their head-on soft shell shrimp that we keep talking to our neighbors, Uber drivers, and strangers in line at PennDot about. Each bite into the shell gives a satisfying crunch, the Bird's Eye chili gives it a peppery kick, and the Thai basil and fish sauce caramel is the perfect balance between sweet and earthy. Order a bowl for the table, and then order 10 more. If you’re free during the day, this BYOB is open for lunch on Thursday through Saturdays between 11am-2:30pm—and this may be your best bet at actually getting in. When it comes to dinner, they release reservations every 30 days. If you don’t find success there, you can always try to walk in with a few strangers, grab a table as the last guests are leaving, and exclaim “Finders Keepers!” when you sit down. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - candis mclean, alison kessler
