Lucky House — Restaurant in San Jose

This review is mainly for the food quality, since I did takeout and didn't have much of a chance to evaluate the service or atmosphere (although everyone I interacted with was perfectly professional). I ordered the cumin lamb and the chicken/celery potstickers, and I was so impressed! Sometimes potstickers/dumplings have gristly meat, and it doesn't quite taste fresh, but these were so tender. Not a gristle. The chicken tasted like real chicken, and the wrapper had a perfect lattice of crispy, lacy dough where it had been pan-fried. I ate them with a little black vinegar and they were excellent. The cumin lamb came in tender little cubes, which is only possible when the meat is tender -- if it is tough, it has to be sliced super thin or it will be so chewy you can barely get it down. It had a hint of tomato (?) and was perfectly cumin-spiced. None of the food was too salty. I am excited to eat there again and hope it can become a go-to spot for my family when we are too lazy to cook. My only request would be that they list allergens present...

I have been eating at Lucky House for weeks now. It is not your typical Chinese food. It is a very clean, well maintained restaurant.

My favorite foods are the pan fried dumplings. The soup is a red borscht vegetable style that is so different from other soups. The brisquit is another one of my favorites. The scallops, shrimp dishes are amazing. Yes, even the pork belly is first rate. Pricing is fair, service is excellent, BUT the star of this whole experience are the Chefs. I have not had any bad experiences with the food. Everything I've tried has been delicious made from quality ingredients.

This is not your typical Chinese restaurant that relies on soy and dark gravies. Everything is fresh and made to order. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND...

Amazing service and authentic Chinese food! I came with a mindset that I am not gonna eat much since I am on diet but got carried away after I had the first taste of the food. I left with an empty plate, if that does not tell you enough, I don’t know what to say. The flavor is so good and made me feel like I am dining in a restaurant in my home town. I would definitely come back again and again. Legit Chinese restaurants are hard to find in the area and I am so glad that I don’t have to go to Cupertino...
