Reply to comment by McNinja_MD in Mawn, a BYOB Cambodian noodle house, to open next month in South Philadelphia by ColdJay64

Gotta love how people think “ethnic” food should be cheap when the work that takes to make it well is as much or more than any western cuisine. Also the economy affects everyone, prices are higher everywhere and when you use high quality ingredients that means more cost

I’m from China but if a place starts charging me $18 a bowl for hand drawn noodles, they can fuck right off

What are you even talking about? The ingredients for Pho are cheap af & you can buy in bulk at stores in Chinatown and on Washington ave. Hell, the recipe is easy too and they usually have non Asian immigrants in the back cooking. 18$ is crazy talk. 9$ is the average in Chinatown.

Just checked the menus for three places in Chinatown and it was $12-15. Pretty much the same in South Philly pho spots.
