Not a bakery despite its name. And there are no photos of Venus either. However, you can get lots of food and the booths are comfy. Its very popular though, so be prepared to wait if you come during a customer surge. Apparently the restaurant models itself after a Hong Kong style eating establishment. My husband who had worked a lot in HK thought so as well. The menu is in English, but had things on there like "sapghetti", "petizers" and "macaron". Not the French type of macaron, mind you, but the typo kind. Many items come with tea/coffee, garlic toast, soup and dessert. I ordered chow fun w/ veggies and tofu ($7.25). TONS of noodles! In fact, between two of us, we couldnt finish the plate. Emphasis is on noodles. Too many for an appropriate veggie/tofu to noodles ratio. Recently got chow fun here and my daughter found a spider in it (!!!). Interesting items on the menu such as peanut butter and condensed milk toast. Drinks with Ribena, etc. Probably wont be back here again.

I love food and this is one of the best Cantonese/Hong Kongese fusion cuisine restaurants in the whole Bay area. Yes, I had food in most of the so called "high rated" restaurants before. Food at Venus Tams cafe is good, the price is cheap and the portion is big. The building of this location is old. Lots of parking. also have another cafe in Brokaw road/Hostetter, San Jose area that tailor to high end menu (relatively speaking). Both open til 12am. Hope you enjoy this review. Barry

Great place for late-nite eats. The style of the food served is straight from Hong Kong. In a nutshell, its British/Western-influenced fare, but through the lens of Hong Kong. You wind up with dishes like wonton noodle soup, except macaroni is used in place of noodles, and diced spam and ham are used in place of wontons, giving you Ham and Spam Macaroni Soup, the warm and cozy food of my childhood. Open until 1am daily!

Late night eatery with a pretty large menu to choose from . This place has plenty of free parking , but like other reviewers have mentioned it is cash only . The food was ok I have had better and cheaper , one thing they could possibly change for the tomato beef add a little less tomato and maybe a tad more beef .

The category here is cheap eats HK fusion style. I didnt grow up with this stuff like my wife did. When we were dating and she took me to one of these HK cafes, I was like "what is this stuff?" Spaghetti done Chinese style? Rice and cheese? I get it now and Im also still married.

Food is okay. But service is horrible. Taking my food to wrong table. Food stayed wrong table for 30 seconds. And try to bring back to me without saying anything. Disappointed for going there for 10+ years.

Good HK Cafe style restaurant/cafe. Sort of in a convenient location, near a lot of Asian stuff (across the plaza is 99 ranch, 85C, etc.). Good is pretty decent and price is not too high for the portion.

Awesome Hong Kong style food, the service is amazing here and very friendly waiter and waitress. I love their Hong Kong style lemon tea and milk tea, but definitely try out their sizzling plate meals!

Great place for a late night HK style snack. Be it traditional Chinese dishes or asian inspired western dishes, they have it for you. Make sure you try their English style milk tea!
