Lucky House

The dumplings are super delicious. . The entire menu is wonderful . The food felt fresh , home cooked and flavorful .

Okay stopping by Los Gatos today and found this hidden gem. Seems like they just opened and owners were very accommodating. We had beef noodle and cumin lamb, and we were gifted a soup (Sweet sour?) for free. They were fresh and quite delicious. The ambience is chill, will come back again.

Great new Chinese restaurant with a huge selection of dumplings. We especially loved the wontons in Sichuan chili oil.The main dish list is more limited, but we loved everything we tried: Red Braised Pork Belly (tender and flavorful), Ma-po Tofu (rich and red, well balanced), and Lucky's Cumin Lamb (tender chunks covered in cumin, wonderfully spiced). When they expand the menu, I'd like to see some vegetable offerings.The staff is warm and friendly, the restaurant is super-clean although a little brightly lit. They serve bento boxes which would be great for lunch.

Red braised pork belly bento is delicious! The pork belly is incredibly tender and the fried rice we replaced the white rice with had well-separated grains and had its own flavor from whatever oil is used, despite not really being seasoned. The vegetable on the side of the bento was garlic-fried bok choy, and no orange dressing or whatever is in the pictures online. They seem to still be working out the menu.The table had salt, black pepper, white pepper, soy sauce, and chili oil as condiments on the side. We were also given complimentary roasted and unsalted peanuts. Unfortunately everything else was disappointing.- We were given soup that might have been hot and sour soup due to the classic ingredients but there was zero flavor and goopy/gelatinous (possibly from added cornstarch). I once went on vacation and added gelatin powder to bottled water (for health reasons at the time) and the water jello was somewhat disgusting but I drank/"ate" it anyway. This soup vaguely reminded me of that. My SO had to finish it because this was one of the few times where filling my stomach on something felt like a waste.- Spring rolls were soggy, with the same ingredients as the soup but with some pork or chicken pieces in only 1 of the 4 pieces. Both were complimentary but I wouldn't order these on their own.- We also ordered the cumin lamb and the spicy chicken nuggets in the starter section. Both meats were hard and chewy. The lamb might have been softer if the pieces were thinner slices rather than chunks.- The chicken nuggets were more like grilled chicken pieces than fried (even thinly coated fried chicken has a crisp). The seasoning is mildly hot, accurate to the website description, but no garlic butter taste at all. The owner kept apologizing for the wait on both meats - since we were the first ones to order this that day, they had to heat up the oil or something - but it didn't take that long (10 minutes max). So it was baffling that neither meat was even hot in temperature. We would have preferred to wait longer if it meant getting better quality.- Even some presentation (greens for decoration or a lemon wedge like in the pictures taken by the restaurant, and not in tiny compostable white bowls) would have made it appear less like a la carte meats that I could cook better myself. I genuinely don't understand the stellar reviews on Google, if they aren't simply friends and family - maybe we just caught them on a bad day? If it weren't for the 20% discount (until Feb 15th), these items can't compare to other restaurants like Home Eats or Soong Soong. I brought 2 Pyrex dishes for leftovers so will see if I can fix the meats. I feel bad because it IS a family-owned business but other than the pork belly and fried rice, the Yelp rating of "could have been better" pretty accurately describes our experience.

Lucky House at 2622 Union Ave, San Jose, CA 95124 Cambrian Park, formerly Union Chinese, is a new restaurant I decided to try.The place had some remodeling, a repaint and a deep cleaning. It gave a very nice appearance (see photos).The server was very friendly and explained the menu to me. This is not a typical Chinese restaurant. They had many unusual dishes I haven't seen before. Being a new restaurant, they are trying different menu ideas.I started with peanuts, Hot and Sour Soup, Shrimp Pork Wonton soup, fried Rice (Excellent), Bok Choy, Egg Roll, Pork and Shrimp Wonton Soup, and the Red Braised Pork (Pork Belly) Bento BoxEverything was excellent! I really liked how there was very little salt in the dishes. The Chef came out and asked how everything was. He wanted me to try the dumplings, so I did. It was a pork and cabbage and was one of the best ones I've had.This is a family run place and everyone worked as a team. The Chef, server and manager were very nice and cared about my experience.This is an excellent restaurant that is family oriented. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Lucky House!

Lucky House serves the best dumplings and braised pork in the Bay Area--flavorful, tender, and authentic. The owner's warm hospitality makes every visit special. Highly recommend!

House made dumplings are our favorite. The service is great! The Dry Braised King Shrimp is very fresh.

Food was great. Service was like being at your grandparent's house. Very kind elderly gentlemen doing service and cooking.

A new Chinese restaurant opened near my home. Food is authentic and delicious. I love the dumplings and Wonton, but my favorite is the Chinese donut mixed their tomato soup, 100% recommend!

Excellent authentic food from a new business. Potstickers are moist and braised beef melts. And the house soup is also great.
