Fast service great food. I ordered for 7 people at work. And all the food were great. This chicken rice has great flavors.... Chicken is fresh free range chicken, much less fatty and can taste the chicken flavor. Rice was cooked with some coconut milkand chicken broth. It is so good. Read more
Fish fried rice wasn't very salty, but decent. Crispy noodles were a but bland. Probably wouldn't return, but not the worst... place I've ever had. Read more
Food is just OK here. Portion is not as big as some reviewers mentioned. This is a Hong Kong style cafe. I ordered their... daily special set lunch as I was late for their breakfast. Set lunch include the meal, hot drink, and soup. I was hoping tohave Hong Kong style coffee but was provided local style coffee which I didn't request. Not sure if this place have Hong Kongstyle coffee though. The restaurant was half full and only two servers working. Service wasn't a good as I hope it would be. Don't believe I'll be back here again. Read more
Big Brother was not as good as before. We have not been to Venus since the last two years. We ordered the Big Brother mixed... plate, but the pork and the overall quality/taste was not as good as we ate before. Read more
We got the oyster beef with rice and the hainan chicken. Both came with your choice of milk tea or lemon ice tea and a... soup. The tea though a standard sweet lemon iced tea was surprisingly quite good and refreshing if I do say so myself. I'm notsure if it was the sugar or lemons or if I just haven't had lemon ice tea in a long time but either way it wasn't bad. The souphad tomatoes and cabbage and was slightly sweet and sour. It wasn't really my thing. Now on to the entrees. The hainan chickenwas okay. The portions were a bit small chickenwise but it also came with two scoops of yellow rice and some peanuts on the sideand some vegetable I did not try. Flavorwise it was only okay not too special. The entire meal was like a wannabe bentosbox. The beef was very good. It was saucy and slightly sweet with a good amount of mushrooms. The beef was tender andcomplemented by a side of rice. I would recommend. That's all folks. Read more
Just have a breakfast in Venus cafe today, overall experience is fine. Had a bowl of beef porridge with a small plate of chow... main, they are pretty good, and of course a cup of hot Hongkong classic milktea is alway a plus, highly recommend to everyone totry their milktea in early morning, fresh boiled fresh serve!

Milk tea is using condense milk. Those want to avoid sugar shall be alarmed. But for HongKongers, it's nostalgic. Their... breakfast is of big portion. Worth the $$ Read more
