Hên Vietnamese Restaurant

I love Vietnamese food. I’ve been wanting to try this place ever since they opened, Unfortunately I didn’t get in the first time. I came on the day that they closed for a private event. This time my out of town friends visited, on our way back from Wildwood beach, we stopped by for dinner. And oh my! I am impressed, their food were absolutely amazing. The tastes and presentation were on point. We ordered pretty much everything on the menu lol. They were delicious, especially the grilled clams, the BEST! A must try! My favorite was the dipping sauce (Nuoc Mam) and Mam Nem sauce were spot on! not like at any other Vietnamese restaurants, I find it was too bland. But here, they were perfectly sweet, sour and a little kick of spicy. The chef told us they made everything from scratch here and their portion is huge with reasonable prices. However, we were a bit disappointed, because we didn’t get to try Banh Beo that day. They were out. It’s also another popular dish that must try here. Overall, we had the best time here. Owners and staffs are super friendly and very attentive. Excellent services, food came out very quickly. This small restaurant is a hidden gem in Cherry Hill. I highly recommend anyone who love Vietnamese food as much as myself should come eat here! You won't be disappointed! This is the place to go for authentic Vietnamese comfort food.

We had made a reservation last week for 8 people, which was a quick, easy process. Whem we arrived this evening, I was dismayed to see a sign on the door stating no dine-in service due to staffing issues (which is understandable, times are tough for restaurants). We walked in anyway and they were gracious enough to honor the reservation for us despite being short staffed (the owner apologized, as he had forgotten our reservation). It seemed like there were maybe only 3 or so people running the place tonight, filling takeout orders and serving us too. The owner came out right away to introduce himself and he checked in and waited on us throughout the meal. He made a special dish for the guest we were celebrating, on the house. The food was very good and although the service wasn't "perfect," they really tried hard and in my opinion made the best of the situation. I will definitely go again when they reopen the dining room, and in the meantime I will certainly order their takeout.

The food was okay but the service was really bad. On top of the bad service, they gave us a check with prices way above their menu prices, saying that they had to raise prices to cover the expenses. But the prices on the menu did not reflect the price increase nor did they notified us about different prices when we were ordering the food. It is illegal to charge other prices from what’s on the menu! If your prices have changed, the menu must reflect it. Plus, they didn’t have a few items from the menu. So it was quite a disappointing experience. As for the food , we had spring rolls (chicken and shrimp), and several different bowls of pho (chicken and beef). No one at the table was impressed. So we are not coming back to this place.

Visited on our way to philly and I was so excited to eat here. We ordered goi cuon, and spring rolls . The goi cuon was very good! Although the sauce I think they only gave us hoisin sauce. Nothing especial. The spring rolls were horrible. I couldn’t eat them. It taste sour and the meat inside was too pink for my comfort. The fish sauce to go with it was also too sour. I could taste too much vinagre in it. In addition had bun bo hue and it was ok. The broth wasn’t bad. It was a generous bowl and had lots of meat but it’s not the best I’ve had. The meat was way too chewy so I couldn’t eat it either. Not sure about other dishes... but i wouldn’t go back. For the price they charge k rather go somewhere else. The service was good tho!!
