I’ve been to spot a number of times, mainly because my friends wanted to go. Today, I had a really disappointing experience at Saigon Spice. When I was ordering in Vietnamese, the waitress made unnecessary and rude comments about my accent (or lack thereof due to being born in America) and asked why I was speaking Vietnamese ‘like that.’ The waitress tried to laugh it off as a joke it was clear she only did that upon seeing my friends and my reaction. As a Vietnamese American, I was excited to support this restaurant and connect with my culture, but being mocked for my effort ruined my appetite. I’d expect this type of attitude from more Asian areas like California, but not from NJ restaurant.

Read moreCame here to introduce my boyfriend to Vietnamese food and he loved it! He ordered the grilled chicken vermicelli noodles and said it was some of the best chicken he’s ever had. It was flavorful and tender, and overall it was very refreshing

Definitely recommend for anyone in the area regardless of whether you’ve had...

Only feedback I have for the chicken was slightly over cooked, making some pieces more chewy. But overall, still very good.
My kids had the grilled pork over rice and the rocket shrimp egg roll, both were hits! The pork was juicy and well-seasoned, and the egg roll was crispy with great texture and taste.
This spot is definitely going on my list of go-to Vietnamese places in Cherry Hill. Great food, good portions, and a solid overall experience. We’ll...
