286 W El Camino Real, Mountain View
Embrace Luck is a beautifully designed restaurant with a clean and hygienic environment. The food is delicious, with dishes like shredded eel and bullfrog with perilla, black pepper steak, winter melon in the pot, fried pork, and Shanghai veggie rice standing out. The chef, formerly of San Tung, brings high-quality dishes to the table, although the menu lacks a clear identity. The restaurant also offers some regional specialties that are not commonly seen elsewhere, making it a place to explore different flavors. The atmosphere is great for meeting friends or business meals, and the environment is elegant with traditional Chinese-style decoration. The service is generally smooth, and large portions are served, but prices are on the higher side, with most dishes ranging from $30-50. One must try the “心太软,” a nostalgic dish of glutinous rice mochi stuffed with sweet glutinous rice, which is pan-fried with osmanthus for a special touch. While some dishes like yellow eel can be oily and coconut chicken soup may be bland, the overall experience offers tasty food in a lovely setting, though it may be considered pricey for some.
