Venus is a delivery staple for us; we've ordered from them for over two years and have never once been disappointed. The drivers have been courteous to a man and rarely does an order for four take more than 45 minutes to arrive at our door. They have a light touch with the oil and their chicken and beef entreés arrive piping hot and flavorful. Their Szechuan meals have a good fire to them as long as you ask for them to be spicy, and my wife loves their mu shu chicken -- always flavorful, and somehow they keep the green onions crisp!
I've only been disappointed by the Hot + Sour soup; sometimes it's tart and textured, other times a bit gummy and bland. I also don't care for zucchini as a stir fry vegetable, and I think that's found in the Hunan chx/beef/shrimp. Their menu features most of the favorites you'd expect, so try your best "barometer" dish and see what you think.
Although we haven't dined in at Venus yet, I've walked past a few times and the décor appears to be simple, modern, and inviting, with a halogen-lit, black wood bar and some exposed brick columns. Good food that's delivered is usually +1 or +2 when it comes right from the kitchen to your table, so I can't imagine you'd be disappointed dropping in.
