Mawn is 3 years old. Still together. Still Mom&Pop. Still on 9th street, South Philly. Still sold out within the first minute. Still the infamous line out the door for lunch. Still doing everything we do with a smile and a how-ya doin attitude. Still a noodle shop with no rules. Whether we see you now or later, we’ll still be here.

So holla at us man.

Philly and beyond,

Obviously, we ain’t wit ICE and any administration’s approach to immigration when it doesn’t make any fu**in sense. The s**t that is taking place in Minneapolis and this country as a whole is a shame on us moment.

Please know, we support collective action and believe in resistance. Using our voices to stand up for what is right is something people died for already.

We support anyone participating in today’s shutdown however, we will remain open at both Mawn and Sao for normal business hours and do things our way.

Our employees depend on coming to work to support their families as well as honoring their craft. We, as a small business, harbor this transaction and provide a safe and dependable space for it to happen.

That said, we will support this collective resistance by donating 10% of sales from both restaurants (as well as personally matching that number) to . We all should pray for a better world.

Stay up

Thank you , , and Jason for including us on this list and #3 is amazing (Iverson). It’s almost been 3 years now and our operation is still made strong by an incredible group of people who work so hard every shift and are examples of what is still good and real in this industry.

Lastly, there are people behind the scenes that are directly responsible for any of this to exist. People who don’t know about these lists and honestly don’t care. They only care about getting to the restaurants and back home to their family’s in one piece. It breaks our heart to know that their everyday routine now has an element of realistic fear that everything could change in an instant. F**k ICE and anyone who thinks anything about this is ok. Please notify each other if you see these rats in our communities…could mean a better day for somebody you love.
