Pho delivers MSG, not flavor.
by falseeyes
I'm a HUGE pho fan. This place lacks the flavor I'm used to. The broth seems a little watery, and left me with the MSGbee-heebies*. If you can take the MSG, and you live nearby, and you love pho, I can understand your love of this place. I've been around and around ever since I was introduced to pho 8 years ago. Stick with Pho Ha in South Philly, or Pho 38 in Pennsauken. Outside of these two, I haven't found a place that gives me what I want without the MSG*.
I rate this place as average only because in my experience, this pho is close to what I've received in most of the pho places I've been to.
* MSGbee-heebies: A feeling of discomfort of the entire body caused by excessive MSG, where you feel claustrophobic just being in your own skin.
- Pros: The only Pho in Cherry Hill
- Cons: Lacks that pho flavor, with even more MSG

Very Enjoyable
by whitehat85
I've been to Pho Eden a handful of times and each time I've really enjoyed my experience. It's a very small low key, quiet, casual, and comfortable place and especially perfect for someone who wants to avoid the typical hassle that can be associated with dining out.
The food itself is delicious. Make sure you start out with an order of the spring rolls which come served with thinly cut lettuce that you can use to wrap them in and sauce. The vermicelli(white noodle + topping(ie lemongrass) + sauce + bowl then you mix it up) comes in a generous portion is my favorite.
My family comes monthly. We even brought our cousin's boyfriend from Texas and he loved it. Check out Pho Eden, Vietnamese food doesn't really require as much courage as it might sound. Overall, highly recommended.
- Pros: inexpensive, great food, great service
- Cons: canned beverages
