My favorite are the drinks and the snow desserts. So many flavors and combos to keep trying.

Ordering from the kiosk was quick and easy, although the friendly employees are also happy to help if you prefer ordering at the counter. I stopped by around 3 p.m. on a Tuesday, and the atmosphere was relaxed and laid-back. With fewer people in the restaurant, it was easy to sit back, enjoy the food, and have a good conversation. Once my food arrived, I immediately dug in. I especially liked the cafeteria-style tray presentation, which gave the meal a fun, nostalgic feel. The chicken was crispy and crunchy with plenty of savory flavor, and the pickles were a standout. They had a satisfying crunch and added a nice tangy contrast to the rice, making each bite come together really well. I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. I also heard they offer daily specials featuring different dishes, which gives me another reason to come back. I'll definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in the area!

Perfect drinks and snack spot!…read more Drinks: The brown sugar boba milk was so good. Definitely a 10/10. The strawberry milk smoothie was also really good and gets another 10/10. Atmosphere: Honey Express is a small, cute, and welcoming place. You order everything on a tablet, so there's minimal human interaction, which is perfect for introverts lol. Overall, I really enjoyed my drinks and the experience. That's why we keep coming back. I haven't tried their bento boxes but will definitely try next time!! Overall Rating: 5/5

The popcorn chicken tastes pretty good for the price of it, which is around $10 with tax. That, I think, is a steal around Milpitas. The jasmine milk tea is quite generic. It could be a powder that they use for the milk tea or actual tea but I wouldn't know. Either way, it isn't that bad. Overall, the popcorn chicken is very good value and the milk tea is alright.

Then they will call the number on your receipt once the food is ready. I ended up getting both the spicy beef noodle with wide noodles and the triple combo dry noodle with the regular sized noodles. The noodles in both were perfectly cooked and had a nice bite to them. They were very long and addicting to eat. The soup in the spicy beef bowl wasn't too spicy or oily which I liked. The triple combo had a mixture of carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, egg, chili oil, scallions, and some beef. Both dishes were very flavorful without feeling heavy. The noodles were definitely the stars of both dishes! I noticed they had a sign that said no tipping either which surprised me here in the Bay Area. We took our bowls/tray and placed them in the clean up are for them to take away. Price was pretty good too for the amount of food (Under $20 a bowl). Come here if you want some quality noodles.

After grabbing my…read moreticket to wait, a few minutes passed by and all of a sudden I hear an argument erupt in what language I can only guess was Chinese, but I was unsure of which dialect. The exchange between an employee and customer got to the point over the course of 20 minutes where the employee had swatted the phone out of the customer's hand and later on threatened to punch the customer. A separate customer and another employee tried to deescalate the situation. The argument in such a small space gave me a headache. The customer eventually left, I eventually received my food, and I left. I purchased the dry pork noodle bowl and I can say that although the chili oil, pork and noodles tasted good, the vegetables were less than desirable as they were overcooked soggy. This bowl was definitely not worth the wait and headache. I will never be coming back here again.

Some of my favorite dishes are the bamboo shoots and the lion's head meatballs.

Venus Cafe is a small, simple, and cozy Hong Kong style restaurant, which is located on Hostetter Road off the 680 freeway, in a mall with a Paris Baguette pastries shop, and a few other restaurants, like Kim Tar. The menu here is very typical of Hong Kong menus that I've found frequently in my home area of San Gabriel Valley in Los Angeles, with noodles dishes, rice dishes, clay pot dishes, and some Western style dishes as well. The wait staff are nice, and they brought out the food pretty quickly. They provided us with a nicely spiral bound menu with photos of their dishes and also a two-sided lunch specials and drinks menu. We picked and ordered what we liked, our orders also came with a milk tea drink. I ordered cold milk tea, and Mom ordered hot milk tea. We will definitely come here again, for both Mom and I enjoyed the warm and tasty food. There is plenty of parking in the parking lot, there were two electric chargers out front, but both were currently not in service. The location of this place is close to H Mart, about 1.8 miles away, and there is also a 99 Ranch Market on Hostetter Road. You can do your weekly grocery shopping that is close by, and then stop here for lunch.

The menu is simple with noodle soups, dry noodles, and 5 types of dumplings which he said they have been experimenting with (fish, beef, pork, chicken/shrimp, tomato/egg). The fish dumplings were the only ones that came in a half order (6 instead of 12) so we ordered those. I was expecting a fish fillet texture but they were more like a tuna salad texture. You have to order from a QR code at the table. As a nice surprise, they provided a free appetizer dish of fresh oranges, cherry tomatoes, and grapes while we waited for our food. For our spicy beef soup, we choose rice noodles, and they were slippery but good. It was hard to tell the size from the menu photos, so we shared one soup though the portion seems more of an individual serving size in retrospect. When we got there at 6:30 or 7 pm on a Friday, there were three other tables full of families. It was a nice little meal and really felt like eating in Asia.

Was excited to try out a new noodle place. The inside was…read morevery mom and pop shop. Decor were paper lanterns and some posters on the walls. There was only one other party before we got there and they sat at a large table in the middle of the small space. We were seated at a booth and were immediately told to be careful when we sat down because the bench is already worn down with the smallest amount of cushion left. But the person working there still urged us to sit down. We just avoided sitting on the soft spot. Order is by QR code and was pretty easy to order off multiple phones. We got fish dumplings, pork and fennel dumplings, beef noodles, chicken noodles, scallion pancakes, cucumber salad. The fish dumpling had a weird mushy taste, the pork and fennel dumpling used dried fennel and it was strong. The chicken noodles were ok, like can based stock with some oil added back in but the chicken leg in the dish was good. The beef noodles had a really good texture noodles and the broth tasted oddly like pizza. The cucumber salad was also just ok, drenched in oil and white wine vinegar. The scallion pancakes which was an appetizer came out last such that we were basically done and ready to pay and forgotten about it. Our table was given dumpling sauce dishes and were told they were the bowls to eat out of. Imagine Dixie cup size. And when we asked for bigger bowls like a rice bowl so we can share other items, we were asked why would we need more bowls. The table in the middle had bowls. Maybe cleaning more bowls was too much work. It was the same person who seated us, took our order, served the food, and he probably cooked too. Cleanliness was a concern for us while we were eating and saw him clean the table and then went and got our other dishes. There was only one other person in the kitchen that we were aware of because the person would yell for pick up. Overall, it was not a very good experience with the questionable cleanliness, problematic seats, and off putting flavors and textures.

Definitely not overcooked where it becomes waterlogged or mushy. E.5 Combo Stewed Pork Rice Plate & Small Wonton Soup (4/5). The plate came with blanched cabbage, broccoli, a tea egg, minced pork over steamed rice. The pork belly was braised and stewed until fork tender but not over done so it still kept it's shape. The minced pickled mustard greens was the highlight. B.6: Taiwanese Sandwich.
