It's hidden in a strip mall but deserves all the stars for good food and courteous staff We had Banh Xeo- steamed rice cakes with shrimp-black bean sauce. Devoured in seconds Steak pho was awesome Stir fried chicken with lemongrass yummy The lemonades were blindingly sweet tho. We didn't like those Our server was this polite, smiling guy he made our experience great. Will definitely be back

I got the Ba Vi with beef wrapped with grape leaves. The food was well presented. It was delicious especially wrapped with the rice paper and all the vegetables. It was a decent bite. I do wish they provided more pickled vegetables/jalapeños to allow for more customization. I would say it was filling for one person and it was very affordable ($14). Personally, I WOULD NOT recommend the pho or BBH. I didn't feel like it compared to the Philly pho or BBH. I think their entrees and broken rice are the way to go here. This restaurant is well decorated, clean, and spacious! The service was good, mostly small points. For example, missing utensils/cups/napkins. They accidentally smeared a side of a birthday cake we bought which wasn't a big deal. They do light the candles, play music, and provide plates and utensils! I would come back here again for sure.

What a gem!! Totally worth the destination date night drive!! The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and clean. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, if you are not familiar with the cuisine. But the food itself... one of the best pho broths I have had. They take their time to develop flavors and it does not go unnoticed. I also appreciated the quality meats that were available. The carpaccio was a perfect light taste against the pho, and again quality of the meat was on point. Only note would be I wish I could have added a couple of prawns to my pho, but they only sold them in packages of 6, and that's a lot if you are already getting beef, for just one person. But if sharing a great option. Overall, highly recommend and worth the drive. Unexpected for the location, so don't turn away.

Amazing food and even more amazing service! I have heard so many good places about Hen's, but I never wanted to make the trip out across the bridge. I'm so glad that I was in the area and all my cousins recommended me to just go to Hen's. Thankfully I came at an off time, because my kids were a little crazy. But, Sang (owner) makes sure to take care of you like family. He made sure to let you know the kids weren't an issue and kids were just being kids. Aside from that, the food honestly taste so fresh and the flavors were so familiar. If you want authentic viet food and great service/company, be sure to stop by Hen! Everything that I've tried on the menu was so good! I definitely will stop by again when I'm craving great viet food and when I'm in the area.

Great Vietnamese restaurant, with traditional Vietnamese offerings like pho, broken rice, and also had banh beo and banh khot which I normally don't find at most restaurants. Both were really good, would come back just for those items!

stopped in for the first time for takeout. I asked for recommendation from the hostess and was told to get the stirfry filet mignon. It comes with white rice. Once at home, it was a huge mound of white rice and not a lot of the entrée or sauce. I am not a big eater and I thought with the price point of over $20. I was going to have some and leave some for my wife when she gets home. I ate the entire thing, lol, because it was delicious & there wasn't a lot to eat. Four stars are for the food, I would've given it five if it was a bigger portion. You could count the pieces of meat, but it was absolutely well-seasoned and tender. I'm keenly aware of the increased price of everything in the world, perhaps that's the best they can do with offering filet mignon, I don't know. I would've taken more onion more anything. Add some vegetables to it, I don't know, but bulk it up. I had to pull out soy sauce because on top of it being such a small amount of the entrée there was barely any sauce. I have high blood pressure. I'm actually on medication for it, I don't pull out additional salt for food. But I need something to choke down this white rice. I am absolutely returning, and now that I've been there, I know how to temper my expectations.

Driving through Cherry Hill and looking for a place for lunch. Found Hen Vietnamese Eatery on Yelp with decent reviews and decided to give it a try. It is located in a strip mall with easy parking. It was not too busy on a Saturday early afternoon but had some Vietnamese customers, so it was a good sign. The restaurant is nicely decorated and clean. The only thing annoying was that they kept the door open and there were flies flying around in the restaurant. Ordered a bowl of Pho with Beef Balls and Beef Brisket, Caramelized Swai in Clay Pot which came with a bowl of rice, and Sugar Cane Shrimp Paste Skewer which came with lettuce and rice paper for wrapping. Food was very good. The pho broth was clean and tasty. I especially enjoyed the Sugar Cane Shrimp Paste with the wraps. Service was good. Food took a little bit to arrive, but they came kinda all together. Prices were very affordable and reasonable. Overall it's a pretty good Vietnamese restaurant.

Modern Viet eatery. Food is decent. Their menu has a lot of items that a typical Viet pho place does not have. Decent sized portions.
