I did takeout from New Venus HK Café in Newark and was really pleased. The Shrimp and Scrambled Eggs, Chow Fun, and Sweet and Sour Pork were all flavorful and well-prepared — true Hong Kong-style comfort food. Portions were generous, prices fair, and the food held up well for takeout. Service was friendly, even during the busy lunch rush. Definitely one of the best Chinese fast-food spots in the area!

Got to try out Venus Cafe in Newark recently and ordered a basic brisket rice noodle soup. The flavor was deep as expected, broth comforting, and meat super tender/juicy. My partner's half-half baked pork chop rice was actually a sizeable + hearty portion--perfect post-workout. Love that the interior was clean and casual with its HK decor. Parking was free and easy in the plaza lot.
Adding this to my ever-growing list of cha chaan tengs in the area--thanks to my friend Aishi for the rec 😋

Look how much pork i got from a dinner box. Definitely not recommended, why you give me so much onions and a little bit pork, looks like fired leftover. Terrible costumer service as well

The waiter who answered the phone had an extremely bad attitude, very very bad attitude...very impatient. After the call was answered, he kept asking me to wait...I will never go back.

It doesn’t taste good? I ate a piece of fried bitter gourd and it was really bad. I also had a piece of seafood spaghetti. Halfway through the meal, I felt a stomachache and went to the toilet to have diarrhea. I didn’t know what was unclean. The food made me sick stomach feeling bad Why like that

The afternoon menu has a good selection of meals for under $11 and comes with a drink, not bad for the price. The foods from the regular menu are also okay, too. I would like to mention the very good service from the nice waitress.

Nice little Hong Kong cafe with tasty food and nice staff

Their food is too oily for me but I’m a fan of their HK styled milk tea. It’s a pity they re strictly cash-only in this day and age of cash-equivalent digital payment. Their staff tends to be a bit curt and rude and today it came to a head for me. I prepared cash to visit at their open-hour to grab tea before work. The person in charge of opening the place was late, and showed zero sympathy when she informed me that there’s no tea for sale yet, and when I expressed my disappointment. I get running a restaurant is hard but I wouldn’t be too happy to go through this whenever I want something that I’m supposed to enjoy lol.

There is a serious shortage of manpower in the restaurant, and only two people are responsible for drying the floor, serving the bar, placing orders, serving food on the stage, and taking out takeaways.After placing the order for dine-in, I had to wait for a long time to get my food.

Came here for lunch with my wife and daughter. Once we came in they said we can take a sit where we’d like but after that no one came to attend us. After about 10 min. Had to raise my hand to get someone to attend us. And even then they attended another group first who had came in 10 min after us.Once we ordered we waited to receive our water. Which never came. Asked the same server again about the water and still nothing. My wife had to go to the front desk to go pick up our water. We asked for rice and it never came. We asked for a drink and received the wrong one. Just over all a bad service. The only good thing was that the food was delicious. Don’t think I’ll be coming back here.
