Food was delicious and came out quickly. I’m happy we went with the puck & see ($65pp) because we were served some dishes I probably wouldn’t have picked and loved. I love fish sauce and lime so this is my type of food. Shrimp- so good. Get this. Cabbage- the sauce reminded me of American Chinese flavors. The cabbage texture was perfect. Clams- I usually don’t like clams but the sauce wow Khao soi- we requested this to be part of our meal and it was actually the least memorable for me. Solid dish Fried rice- yum. Feeling quite full by the time this came out Funnel cake- I didn’t know funnel cake could taste this good. Love I hope to go back and try other dishes.

Unbelievable flavor. Especially recommend the peanut noodles and funnel cake.

Mawn is great. No it's not 'cheap', but they don't claim to be, and the food is fantastic. It is reasonably priced among other fine dining options in the city. I scramble for a reservation almost every month.

The service here is generally very good, though we did end up having to wait in the doorway for 20 minutes in this tight area behind a curtain even though we got to our reservation on time. Where we struggled - and where the “3” rating comes from was how expensive the food was and how hard it was to get a reservation relative to how good it actually was. It’s hyped as a “must go to place” but we felt it was just “solid” - nothing was memorably good. We’ve had a lot of similar (and frankly better) cuisine before for much less hassle. In sum, I think this place is good, but over-rated. Definitely not worth the process to get a reservation right when they open each month.

After failing twice on getting to celebrate our lives’ special occasions at Mawn, and struggling so much to get a reservation, my wife and I finally made it to Mawn for our monthly date-night ritual! Our determination and perseverance to somehow land a reservation paid off and oh my good lord, Mawn didn’t disappoint!
The freshness of the ingredients, the richness of the mind-blowing flavors exploding in your mouth with every bite, and the generous portions are undeniably my biggest attraction to Mawn! Chelsea’s explanation of the dishes was an absolute delight!
We started off with the Banh Chow Salad - the crêpe was so crunchy, the sautéed ground chicken & shrimp were ohhh so fresh and melt-in-the-mouth yummy, the herbs used were so fresh and oozing flavors!
Then we moved on to the Spicy Peanut Noodles - this was the outstanding dish of the night for us! Hands down, won us over with the ground prohok that we got added to this! The chef has magic in their hands if they are crafting such dishes! The spicy peanut sauce with its creamy texture, the cold noodles, the heat of the fresh chili, the aromatics of the herbs and the garnishing - every single aspect of this dish was absolutely lip-smacking and finger-licking good!
We capped off the night with our usual favorite - Khao Soi !! Words will not do justice to the taste that the Thai curry carried, the chicken that instantly melted in our mouths, the food coma that we enjoyed will remain etched on our taste buds for the rest of our lives!

I had high expectations for Mawn but was still blown away by the quality and attention to detail! We went around 20 mins after opening on Thursday for the walk in lunch and were able to get a table with no wait, although I definitely would wait if we were able to eat here again! The staff here are very knowledgable about the menu and listed out the dinner specials that were also available for lunch. We ended up going with the crab fried rice, papaya salad, beef skewers, and rice pudding for dessert. Everything was phenomenal. I have a hard time finding good papaya salad but Mawn definitely has it figured out. It had the perfect balance of salty, citrusy, and spice, and the added texture of crunchy peanuts with the fried shallots and crispy green beans made the dish stand out even more. The crab fried rice tasted really fresh and had great flavor without tasting too heavy and the banana rice pudding was a great way to end an already amazing meal. Would definitely want to go back and try their dinner menu.

I can't remember if I wrote a review about this at all, but this is, by far, the BEST dinner I have ever had in my entire life. We go the prefix menu/chef's menu thing and every single dish was incredible! I loved everything. The only bummer was that the AC was struggling to keep up on what was like a 98° day but the food, company, and service mad up for it. This place is incredible and deserves a Michelin Star.
Very nice place but tiny. I was able to get in for lunch. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful! Definitely worth the wait!

Their food is amazingly delicious!!! My husband had to make dinner reservations 2 months ahead! He literally wait on the dot and make the booking and a minute later, he said all booked up. The restaurant itself isn’t big at all so there are limited seatings. But this is definitely worth a try!
We ordered the Arianna agua freca drink. At first we ordered one to share, but it was refreshing and good to sip while eating their spicy dish, we ended up ordering another one! We had their special starters that I don’t think it was on their menu. It is raw scallops with bell peppers and pumpkin seeds in their homemade mild spicy and lime sauce. Delicious! We had 2 entrees to share. We tried the All star seafood fried rice and the Khao soi noodle. The uni and other seafood in the fried rice was fresh and meaty. The Khao soi came out looking like a soup base noodle but after mixing it, it’s a very saucy noodle! We mixed a little of our starter sauce into this noodle to give it a little lime taste, which tastes even better. Both the fried rice and the noodle were just unbelievably good. Nothing disappointing at all! I think if we ever return to try out other dishes, we won’t be disappointed for sure.
The staffs were all very friendly and welcoming! Great atmosphere. The only problem is the tables are very close to each other due to the small space they have, which means you can pretty much hear each other’s conversations. I think that’s the only down side. And also, if you have a large group, you definitely need special accommodation from them.

The reservation is worth the fight! Our group of 7 had the pleasure of trying the Chef’s tasting menu — which was SO much food!! We all felt like we got to try a little bit of everything on the menu :) Everything was so good that we could not pick a favorite dish.
Shout out to the Chef for his recent James Beard Award & for his colorful, flavorful, unique menu. Last, but not least, shout out to all of the Mawn staff that took care of us last night!! So friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful :)
