We have been to Venus Cafe a couple of times Oder the past years and we are always satisfied with the food.

We were initially going to get take out but a few tables were open and employees were really welcoming so we decided to dine in.

Today we got their Big Brother with white sauce only and the Braised Beef Egg Noodle Soup. The soup came first so we shared it and enjoyed that while waiting for the baked item which takes longer to make. The baked item is a bit heavy so we also decided to share it. The Big Brother dish was very creamy and tasty. The chicken was very crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

The employees were very attentive, portions were generally good and food was affordable. Overall a great experience and family friendly restaurant.

This restaurant has been here for a long time, I've been there maybe 3 times, but this will probably be my last time.

It's very narrow inside, and the tables are right next to the tables next to them.

I ordered Lemonade, but it came with a cup of sugar water + lemon slices for $5.95 (see picture ), the fried instant noodles were OK, but the pork chop was very thin $17.95 . The seafood puff soup not only took a long time to wait, but the soup inside was canned + two pcs shrimps, two pieces of squid $ 14.75 .

Near home. Prices are above average. Portions are smaller now.

This establishment is a Hong Kong-style café, reminiscent of similar venues found in Los Angeles. It features a menu that offers a fusion of traditional Chinese and Western-style dishes, typical of the Hong Kong dining experience.

While exploring the menu, I faced the challenge of choosing from a wide array of appealing dishes. Ultimately, I opted for the baked pork chop, which closely resembled my previous experiences and was quite enjoyable. Additionally, we ordered the Hainan chicken rice, a dish where the quality of the rice is crucial. While it was satisfactory, it didn't quite meet the standard of what I had previously tasted in LA. Another noodle dish we tried was also quite good.

As I currently reside outside of the West Coast, I may not have the opportunity to return. However, for those who live in the area and are seeking authentic Hong Kong café cuisine, this restaurant is worth a visit.

My goto Hong Kong style cafe. They offer a five set menu made up of an entree and a drink. We always find something we like. We also like the Hainan chicken rice in the menu. During these inflationary times, we come here two or more times a month for good food at a reasonable price. It is our cafe. You ?

Everything is great just a bit too salty. I will go back again but will tell them to do my food less salty.

Love, love Venus. My family’s favorite place. Highly recommend the baked pork chop rice, it’s a Hong Kong classic, and I love the baked spaghetti too. Also the gravy style beef chow fun, beef stew with rice noodles soup, XO rice rolls if they have it, and the pan fried noodles with pork and bean sprouts. Is your mouth watering yet? If you know Hong Kong cafe food, it should be!!

When I need my fix of HK cafe style food, this is the place. They have baked rice or baked spaghetti dishes. My favorite is the baked ham & corn with white sauce over rice or the baked chicken with garlic sauce. It's definitely worth a try.
