Crema's Take

“Venus Cafe brings nostalgic Hong Kong cha chaan teng vibes to San Francisco with an unexpectedly extensive menu that spans traditional comfort dishes like pork chop spaghetti and seafood combos alongside matcha tea and full breakfasts. Late opening hours make it a rare gem in the area for casual hangouts with friends or solo work sessions, though service can be leisurely—which feels intentional in a space designed for lingering rather than rushing.”

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.

Hong Kong style cafe (restaurant) with a huge menu. We tried the seafood combo and the pork chop and spaghetti combo. Best to describe as delicious comfort food. Will be back to try some other dishes. Friendly and efficient staff.

It was a nice place to hang out with friends and eat appetizers and snacks in the late evening. Takeout was only okay but a good deal in terms of price and quantity. I would get the fish with corn sauce again. I still want to try their breakfast
