Taro Milk Tea
Kelley W.

Stop reading reviews and just come here! It's absolutely amazing food and the "waitress", Tee, that everyone raves about is actually the founder/owner! She even remembers customers by name and their orders. I came here twice on a short work trip and lived the tom yum, pad Thai, pad see ew, veggie rolls (with taro!), and fried bananas. Cozy atmosphere but only seating for 10, so plan ahead when you want to bring a group. Authentic Thai family recipes with unique spins and perfect service!

Crispy chicken wings

If you are in the South Jersey area (Sewell/Washington Township), please stop by Lucky Elephant Cafe for delicious and authentic Thai & Lao food (take out only for now). I've been looking for a place that makes delicious Drunken Noodles and here it is. We also ordered crispy chicken wings, shrimp rolls, pork and vegetable egg rolls, chicken fried rice, shrimp and salmon special and Tom Yum soup We definitely found our new takeout spot! *There's no sign yet. It's located in a strip mall next to Philly Pretzel Factory and Liscio's Bakery.

Came here for a little dinner on a Thursday night all the way from Philly, worth the 45 min drive during prime hours, 5:30-6:15, it's fairly new, a cute and quaint hidden spot which is also family ran. Amazing Thai food, had the red curry (mild spice) was not super spicy, just a slight burn. It was creamy, packed with so much flavor, fresh, and you can really taste the love and passion in the food. I got the curry with shrimp, definitely will be wanting it again. A plus is that this place gives you way more curry than most places in philly, so definitely worth the money. My cousin got the Pad see ew (drunken noodles), I usually think pad see ew is meh, especially the ones I've tried in philly restaurants, BUT I LOVED their pad see ew, it's very different from the other ones I've tried. It had so much more flavor, it was sweet, savory, spicy, umami, and a hint of acidic/sour, lots of fresh veggies, and noodles were cooked perfectly. The owner Tee was amazing and so sweet, made us feel like we could be real life friends, she really took care of us, especially when we told her it was our first time and gave us complimentary dessert, lucky elephant banana. The dessert is sweet, ripe bananas wrapped in a wonton (I think) wrapper, fried to perfection, drizzled with chocolate syrup and powdered sugar. The wrapper was crispy with soft fresh bananas inside.

Pad See Ew

Me and my sister come here all the time. It's probably our favorite restaurant in Jersey. The food is always phenomenal with hearty portions. On top of the food being wonderful, T is the best server! She is attentive, kind and knows our orders before we even have to say anything. Couldn't recommend this place enough, it's a true gem.

Mawn - Crab fried rice

Mawn

4.7(273 reviews)
13.6 mi•Bella Vista, Italian Market

Was finally able to grab ANOTHER coveted Mawn reservation after a year of trying for 4:30pm (right…read moreas they opened) on a Thursday night! This time having had one visit under my belt, we decided against the chef's tasting (no hard feelings, just didn't want to end up with another whole fish) and not a single thing disappointed. We started off with the head on soft shell shrimp, mahope samut seared scallops, and burmese ginger & melon salad which were all so fresh. I think of the group my favorite was still the tasty head on soft shell shrimp. For our mains to share we tackled the all star seafood fried rice that was prepared with uni, lump crab, bay scallops, shrimp, crab fat butter, trout roe and then also had the delectable yellow curry noodle soup that featured blended coconut curry, shaved cabbage, long beans, herbs, peanuts, and we chose chicken as our protein. For two people it was MORE than enough to share and we even ended up taking home a portion of the fried rice. For desert we had the jasmine rice pudding which was to DIE FOR and really icing on the cake to a perfect meal. The service was prompt, pleasant, and the staff very frequently changed our plates and silverware which I'm coming to expect in "hard to get" restaurant experiences. The venue itself is small and intimate, but you don't feel squished in the slightest. Cannot wait to be back in another year!

First time at Mawn from a last second reservation cancel!…read more There were so many good sounding appetizers I wanted to try but we decided to stick with the papaya salad, clams, garlicky cabbage. Clams were cooked well with a very flavorful tom yum and cheese buttery broth mixture. Papaya salad was some of the best I've had and I've eaten a many papaya salads... it was more vinegar/fish sauce side. The garlicky cabbage was my waitress' favorite menu item and i was kind of dissapointed. The cabbage had a good flavor from the mixture of furikake and the sauce but overall it was very oily and salty. The scallop toast was one of the specials and it was absolutely delicious!!! Best item of the evening. There was scallops on a toast, brown butter, and salmon roe. Honestly, we were very full by the time our main dishes, the khao soi and yellow crab ramen came out but we made an effort to eat both. Neither was overly impressing, the khao soi was some of the better khao soi around but the usage of ramen noodles rather than flat egg noodles which I'm used to, definitely took away from the experience for me. The yellow crab curry was surprisingly more spicy than we expected, which could be a good or bad depending on the customer. The vibe here was very fun. All the staff were extremely attentive, engaging, friendly, and helpful! You have a window view of the streets of south philly to a low lit room with a sophisticated moodlit room.
