Was craving Chinese takeout and saw this place nearby. Yelp suggested their peanut butter chicken and I was not disappointed! The sauce was delicious, though maybe I would ask for it to be separated next time. read more

We love getting some great Chinese take out here! The portion sizes are huge and the meals always come hot and fresh. I am obsessed with their egg drop soup. It's thick, creamy, and rich. Perfect on a relaxing day in. The chicken fried rice is flavored nicely and full of chicken and veggies. The general chicken was tasty too. They have great dumplings, crab Rangoons, egg rolls, and everything else. They have all the classic dishes you could need. read more

We picked up three happiness for a late dinner the other day. It was very tasty as always! Portions are huge so one order is definitely enough to split amongst two people. I think it's a little expensive but the portions definitely make sense paired with the cost. I'm just lucky that my husband and I like the same thing! We ordered Peanut Butter Chicken and were able to split it. We even had enough from our single order to give some to our toddler as well. Again, the portions are absolutely massive. The sauce on the chicken was perfect. The texture of the chicken was a little too crunchy for me (maybe had a little extra batter on it) but I've ordered it before and it was a little easier to eat. Staff is always very friendly and helpful whenever we go whether to dine-in or carry out. The restaurant is always clean on the inside as well. Will definitely continue to dine at Three Happiness! read more

The food was great and it is cooked to order. Great service. The location is small but it is good as they have a lot of orders going out and handful of patrons eating in the dining area. read more

Their orange chicken still hits every time! I have never tried their online ordering system before but tried it out. The timing was spot on and made it super easy! Will do this again next time. read more

Great food, will deffinutly be going back. Loc is a great cook, and staff is great aswell.

As always I can't go wrong here. I got Kung Pao Chicken with steamed rice. The chicken was juicy & tender, lots of bell pepper & bamboo shoot. The Chinese red peppers brought the heat I enjoy. The brown sauce was flavorful and generous. I also ordered a quart of hot & sour soup so I'd have leftovers for a snack later. Altogether it was so satisfying. The place was busy but my order was ready when I arrived. It's a family restaurant and everyone was friendly. Even the phone operator. Highly recommended. . read more

Date of visit: November 26, 2023 As our visit to Omaha was wrapping up, we decided some takeout Chinese to enjoy in our hotel room was the plan for the evening. Sadly, Omaha seems to have few well-rated restaurants specifically for Chinese food. I settled on Three Happiness Express as its star rating was superior to others and it was not far from our hotel, but was a disappointing experience. Staff however was friendly, and I'd go 2.5 stars for that if I could. My sesame chicken had a decent sauce but the rice was not fully cooked and the chicken was the opposite--several pieces were overcooked. Honey Chicken is what my husband went with and we weren't a fan of that, either. We had asked for utensils and that even appeared on the receipt attached to the bag, but didn't actually make it INTO the bag. Instead we received two crab rangoons that we didn't order but were the highlight of the meal. Also never visited a Chinese restaurant that did not give fortune cookies with the order. read more

We had a delicious lunch at Three Happiness Express. Previously, Bookguy has ordered his favorite dish, Mongolian Triple Crown with chicken, beef, shrimp, mushrooms, and onion in brown sauce for delivery several times and we decided to dine in the cafe instead of having delivery. It seats about 30 guests at the small tables. One table was right under a speaker which made it kind of loud so we moved. Service was very quick. Bookguy said his meal was as expected and he added a couple of egg rolls. I ordered a vegetable stir fry which came with rice and a spring roll. It was a giant serving with quite a variety of veggies: green beans, onions, green onion, baby corn, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms and others. Of course I had enough for more than two meals when I added the rice. It was an enjoyable lunch. read more

Three happiness has been my go to for Chinese food for over 10 years now. Their peanut butter chicken and sesame chicken are my favorite but I've never gotten anything bad from here. I always get the food to go and it's still piping hot when I get home. The portions are pretty generous, even though they used to be a little more generous. I've never eaten in hit they've got a small dining area if you need to. It's usually pretty busy because it's so good so I call a bit in advance to make sure I can get it when I want it - either way it's worth the wait! read more

I never received my order because they cancelled back in November. However I have been charged five times for it!!! I keep getting a refund but now the delivery service refuses to give me a refund even though I have an email from them acknowledging that I never received the order!!! I want my 23.07 back!!! read more

This restaurant is poorly laid out and would benefit from a design update. Hopefully the fire gave them the opportunity to fix many of these flaws. The takeout business is a huge part of this restaurants business, yet the area for patrons waiting to pickup orders is mostly non existent. Most of the time customers take a seat at a table designed for eat in business, which should be sanitized again after that customer leaves with their order. One table in the center of the room is a catch all for takeout containers, silverware, napkins, and you name it. That should not be a focal point in any restaurant! That is just tacky and takes away from customer seating capacity. The service wait time is one of the longer you will experience in Omaha, and they make you aware of that prior to ordering. They have such a heavy load of takeout orders that unless you arrive for dinner at 2:45 pm, you can expect to experience the extended wait. Your waiter will brief you on expected service times. We have tried several different entrees from this restaurant, but many seem to share a similar sauce/flavor profile. Our favorite Chinese restaurants do a better job of differentiating the sauce used in each entree. The portion size at this restaurant is quite large. My recommendations for this restaurant would be as follows. Establish a drive thru to cut down on overall restaurant congestion. Create a separate waiting area inside the restaurant for ordering takeout and picking up takeout orders. Establish equipment/staffing specifically for takeout/drive thru orders. Establish equipment/staffing specifically for dine in orders. Have one additional cooking station that can be utilized to assist with either type of order (drive thru or dine in) to keep the service wait time at approximately half of previous average wait time. Update and relocate the bathrooms. The Beef Lo Mein, Sesame Chicken, Peanut Butter Chicken and General's Chicken have enough of their own flair and flavor appeal to rate this restaurant 3 Stars. read more

Friendly, quick, and delicious! The portions are huge, which makes it great for sharing!

We discovered this place during lockdown when we were being intentional about ordering takeout to support local businesses. Their food never disappoints. There is a depth of flavor that I don't often notice in Chinese takeout. Flavors are layered and delicious. We've moved and aren't as close anymore, but we still make the drive to get our takeout from Three Happiness Express. read more

Ate at three happiness today for first time in over a decade at least. It was solid for the most part. I have to say if you have done in customers don't use the cheapest tiny plastic silverware. Bad choice. My buddy got the Orange chicken and I had jalapeño chicken. My food tasted good but not many jalapeños in it. When it's called jalapeño chicken, kind of expecting to be a lot of jalapeños.. I had more carrots and green onions than anything. The orange chicken was a very generous portion and lots of sauce. This is a good lunch spot for sure but next time I would probably bring my own silverware haha . read more

Three Happiness Express - Jalapeño chicken. - Chinese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

visiting for the holidays...who the hell fries cashew chicken? It was the worst Chinese food I have had in a long time. Plastic plates, styrofoam bowls, but a compostable fork? They used to serve your meal on real plates when you dined in. Three Happiness used to be good Chinese but not anymore. The flavor and value no longer exist. The rice was bland, the soup was bland, the chicken was overcooked (incinerated), and the brown sauce was extremely sour. Don't waste your money here. Not a good value especially with the poor quality. Everything is fried! It's sickening to see what this place has become. I was a fan for years, but not anymore. Absolute yuck! For the money, go to the Rice Bowl! read more

I just left there on 6/6/25 got chicken fried rice. It would've been great if I had soy sauce and sweet n sour for my meal

In our years taking cross-country roadtrips through our great country, one of the more profound and repeated giggles is seeing how different states handle Chinese food. Hailing from Southern California, and living and working in a predominantly Asian-American community for the last 25 years, I am indeed spoiled rotten when it comes to Chinese cuisine. With full acknowledgement that I can leave my driveway and within 30 minutes, enjoy a meal that is Anhui, Szechuan, Cantonese, Jiangsu, Fujian, Hunan, Shandong, or Zhejiang... we always apply the appropriate level of expectations when looking for a Chinese place in another part of the country. As turn leads to turn, we found ourselves in Omaha for a few nights this summer, visiting my brother and his family who moved out there a couple of years ago. Someone suggested Chinese food as a great way to order something we could all eat at the house, and not have to go out... and my brother recommended Three Happiness. Always game to try something new, we looked them up on Yelp, found their menu, and phoned in an order for pick up. About 30 minutes later, we arrived to the small strip-mall restaurant... more of a storefront with a to-go counter, and maybe a couple of tables inside. With COVID, it's hard to tell sometimes if these places were sit-down spots, or what... but seeing that it is very close to the University, I assumed they had just opted to shut down their indoor seating. Overall, the food was pretty good. What we ordered: 1. Sweet and sour chicken 2. Broccoli Beef 3. Peanut butter chicken 4. Kung Pao Chicken 5. Veggie Fried Rice 6. Triple Delight 7. Tofu Lo Mein 8. Hot and Sour Soup 9. White rice Wife wanted the curry dish, but I was told no curry. This did not help me to (wait for it) curry favor with my bride... Almost every dish was the color red. I don't know what this means, but all of it-- including the Broccoli Beef-- was red. Not sure why. Pro-tip: Every dish comes with a helping of fried rice.... something I wish they had told us BEFORE we ordered fried rice and white rice. More rice that we knew what to do with. Like I said, everything was pretty good, although to be honest, there was not a lot of difference between the dishes-- all were sort of drowned in reddish sauce, with a mix of veggies and meats. And did I mention a big side of rice in each and every styrofoam clamshell? Hot and Sour soup is my favorite, and theirs had good flavor-- not a lot of "stuff" in it though. Maybe they poured it off the top instead of scooped it off the bottom, but there was very little egg, only a few pieces of tofu, and really no wood ear fungus, bamboo, pork, or much of anything with a crunch or chew. Fast food Chinese place in the heart of the country next to a college. C'mon, baby, this ain't fine dining. But it was hot, stuck to our collective ribs, and everyone had more than enough to eat for very reasonable prices. Next time, we're going to ask for chopsticks, too, because there weren't any in the bag. But yes... next time indeed. See you in a year, Three Happiness. 生意興隆!!! read more

So, I'd heard people speak well of this restaurant. It was clean and bright and the counter service was good. I was not pleased with an additional service charge for using a credit card. Nor was I impressed with the Latin music bellowing from the kitchen. If your ideal Chinese food comes from a mall food court or a Pew Wei, this is the place for you. They had nice chopsticks, the food seemed freshly cooked, the sauce on the cashew chicken was salty but otherwise bland. The Shanghai tofu noodles seemed to be made from spaghetti and frozen vegetables- the fried tofu was good. The vegetable spring rolls seemed to be frozen but otherwise unremarkable. read more

Tasty food, as always. Placed a large to go order and all was packaged well for transport and ready on time. 4/5 stars because one of our entrees was wrong. We got two of one versus what we had ordered. read more

Wow. Amazing food. The sesame and orange chicken are my favorites! Really great prices and nice atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Sadly chalk this one up to a COVID victim. Originally I had this place rated 4 very close to 5 stars. You're not coming here because it's authentic Chinese, you eat 3 Happiness bc of the portion sizes and great cost. I mean this used to be one of the greatest bangs for your buck in town. And the dishes were tasty don't get me wrong However, that is no longer the case. In recent times their portions have almost halved while the price has gone up. These changes combined with quality of taste mean we don't really eat here anymore read more

The best! I love the people, food and location. You cannot go wrong. Their lo mein is the best, loaded with veggies you don't get at other spots. read more

Great food - great people - brand new remodel for dine-in once again! We grabbed our order to-go but wowza does the place look so amazing after the remodel. I am so happy they are on the up and up. Three's will always be on my top list for Chinese in Omaha. :) read more

Gave this another try, I ordered the chicken wings again since I liked that and also ordered Kung Pao Delight (hot). Chicken wings were on point again and would highly recommend it. The Kung Pao Delight was mediocre, sauce was more on the salty side but then again it has whole peanuts on top. The crab rangoon was also more on the salty side IMO even w the sweet n sour sauce. read more

Nice choice of dishes and generous helpings. A great place to have delivery of the food.

ordered sweet & sour chicken, tofu sesame & fried rice. fried rice had no flavor , looked like tinted white rice. chicken was ok, tofu texture was like rubber. wouldn't order again nor recommend read more

Yuck. The food is not very good here. It is all served on plastic plates. Too sweet. Too expensive. Weird music playing. Mostly takeout with sketchy locals with tats and piercings. Girls saying, "like, like, like." I won't be back. read more

Premium price for poor portions. Entree had maybe 2 ounce of beef. It was literally all broccoli and sauce. read more

Absolutely Sucks! The delivery was supposed to take 35 minutes. It took well over an hour when I called to find out where it was. I found out they had dropped it off outside my door without knocking or sending a picture or letting me know in any way shape or form that it has been delivered so I get my phone food and it's ice cold and there is no silverware no sauces nothing. There has to be a better place to eat than this clown show. read more

Great portions! Friendly service! Fairly quick, especially if you order the Peanut Butter Tofu.

I visited here for the first time today. I had heard the great reviews and they were not wrong. The Kung Pao was the best I've had in Omaha. It came out hot and fresh. You can see the fresh spices in the dish. The beef was very tender and a little sweet which I love. The crab Rangoon that came with the meal had a great crisp shell. I ordered a hot and sour soup. It was good, not great. This place isn't very close to where I live, but I will be making the trip back to try additional dishes soon. read more

Three Happiness is our hidden secret which we love to show anyone who visits. The staff is very nice and the food is great. We always get the peanut butter chicken was absolutely delicious -- perfectly cooked with just the right balance of savory and creamy flavors. The egg rolls were crispy and packed with flavor. read more

I hadn't been here in a over a year but I was craving some Chinese takeout and it's right on my route home. I got an order of Yum Yum chicken and an order of sesame chicken. I wasn't really fond of either dish, both were heavy on the breading and too thick and sweet. There was just something off with it. Normally I finish all leftovers within a day or two but I ended up throwing some out. Probably won't be back here for a while, if ever. read more

Maggots in the broccoli, will never go back. Based off the price and delivery fee I did not expect that. This is a very popular place for Chinese in Omaha. I can't imagine no one else has experienced this? read more

Food is very good, prices too high. Nice, casual, good quality and variety on the menu.

Just moved from Chicago, Il to Omaha, ne. Chicago has superb Chinese food. Decided to give three happiness express a try since it's close to my new home. I was hopeful til I opened up my package of food. I ordered fried rice which was a concoction of white rice and a bland of what I think is soy sauce. I also noticed there was no veggies or scrambled eggs which is how fried rice is typically made. It was the same for the lomein noodles... just a portion of bare noodles.. no sauce or veggies in the mix. I added crab Rangoons to my order too which was a slap to my face... I was so eager to try since it's one of my favorite appetizers, came to my surprise that there's no crab to be found!! Also the cheese was chive flavor... I mean if you're going to cook half ass, you shouldn't serve ppl food especially if it's paid for!! Waste of money and time!! Never again! read more
