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

Five stars every time! Their food is *chefs kiss* They are a take out only spot. It's best to order ahead and get there in time to pick up. Their peanut butter chicken is my favorite. The sauce is so rich, and so peanut buttery, but in all the best ways possible. The crab Rangoon is some of the best I've had. Not photographed, but their lo mein, fried rice, and egg drop soup are some of the best staple dishes I've had. Can't wait to explore the rest of the menu! Also keep in mind that they share parking with the businesses in the plaza, but parking is pretty easy to come by. read more

Definitely a favorite local Chinese spot! They can get busy so order ahead if you can! Our go to is their peanut butter chicken probably the best one in the metro area. Still saucy but the chicken is still nice and crispy. Their crab Rangoon and egg drop soup is a must! We've tried a ton of their dishes so definitely try the staples then venture off further into their menu! It's a lot of options! Parking is on the smaller side and they are right next to a busy Main Street so just make sure to plan ahead if you're pressed for time! read more

It was our first time trying here today. It was beyond what we expected! So yummy. I added photos that I haven't seen in the reviews before like the inside of the crab rangoon and egg roll. The employees were super nice and happy to accommodate us subbing dark meat for white.. it was a little small and hectic in there but it was clean and they had a large tv and music playing. No wonder why it was voted Best of Omaha 2023! We will absolutely be back, hopefully sooner rather than later!!! read more

The food has a thick coating all over it. The wait is over an hour. They are rude, small little take out. Soup is very thick. The veggies are raw. How can anyone eat this? read more

I'm a regular at Three Happiness and will continue to order here as long as I live in Omaha as the bang-for-your-buck value is incredible. In many ways it is absolutely superior to its national competitor represented by a black and white bear. My go-to is the General Chicken which is a wonderfully generous portion loaded with fried rice, saucy chicken, precisely two florets of broccoli to keep the meal balanced and healthy, and a crab rangoon delicately placed to top it off. Typically one order will provide 2-3 meals for me. From time to time the estimated wait for orders has been upwards of 1.5 hours so make sure to call in orders ahead of time so you are not left starving. However the wait totally is worth it! read more

Three Happiness Express - General Chicken (Hot) - Chinese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

So impressed with the service!! Everyone that works there is so engaging and excited to be there. Food is amazing too!! must check out

Ordered food to-go and when i got to the restaurant at the pick-up time was told that it would be an extra 30 minutes before the order was ready. Had the broccoli beef and chicken fried rice. Sauce on the broccoli beef had a weird sweetness to it. The peas in the chicken fried rice gave off a kind of burned taste that was very off putting. read more

The food here is very good and flavorful. The decor is distinctly oriental without looking cheap like some places. Portions aren't as big as in one of my other favorites, but the flavors are on point, you don't need a ton of food if the food is good. read more

Let me start by saying I only eat at one Chinese restaurant faithfully so lol... The inside I can't comment on as I've never been inside. My bf seems to like this place so that's a good thing. He is a general's chicken lover so if you can't do that right, you lose him and he still going. I tried the shrimp and broccoli with rice. The meal tasted fresh. I really liked the shrimp that's really all I ate of that meal but the broccoli & rice tasted like... green tea. Yes, green tea lol the eggrolls are. tasty too. Overall I would try them again maybe more of the appetizers. read more

A solid Chinese take-out option with an expansive menu. We love to order here and pick up...peanut butter chicken, cashew chicken, orange chicken, beef and broccoli, egg drop soup...you name it, they have it on the menu. The food here runs heavy on the sauces, so i would stay away from the fried options if you're health conscience at all...they will be heavily fried and slathered in sauce! The order are VERY large, I would recommend splitting an entree order unless you are extremely hungry and have an above average appetite. My wife and I usually split an entree with an order of egg rolls. read more

Not a bad option for takeout as the cost is reasonable and the food is quick. We enjoy the beef and broccoli, shrimp fried rice, and orange chicken. If you order online it is much more expensive than calling your order in. They also have alcoholic drinks at the register when you check out. read more

Food was great, ambience was perfect for the culture, but the star of the show was their service, quick, polite, and spot on with our orders I recommend to everyone. read more

This is the go to Chinese takeout spot, the Peanut Butter chicken is my favorite in Omaha. The portions are so big it ends up being two meals without breaking the bank! read more

Although I've always been happy with this restaurant, they said 20 minutes to me on the phone and I showed up 25 minutes later. Only when I said my name did they just start making our meal after. On top of being late I ordered my wife and myself peanut butter chicken with an extra order of crab Rangoons. Both of our orders of peanut butter chicken were literally so hard we could not stab them with a fork. I ordered an extra order of crab rangoons and those were completely inedible because they tasted like plastic and had about the same consistency as it. Overall was not impressed with this visit as their quality of food has gone down hill. The portion size has significantly decreased as well. Both my wife and I used to get two servicing out of one meal and there was barely enough for one serving. I ended up throwing it in the trash. Glad I wasted $34 on this trash Edit: after talking with the manager she said there was nothing that she could do. Horrible customer service. Will not be visiting again. read more

LOVE. Best Chinese ever. No where else in omaha compares okay bye !!!!!!!!! !!!! !!!! !!! '. read more

So now I understand why another person said don't get the sweet and sour chicken, the chicken was good but only like 3-5 little very little pieces of pineapple and green pepper but lots of onions. That's my sad post on the food. The rest of the meal was awsome. Yes the to go containers has changed and is smaller bur you still get a lot for one person and left overs or for two to share. I'm excited to warm up my left overs! read more

So happy that it's open on Sunday! Overall it was decent average takeout. I got the Yum Yum chicken and a side of fried rice. The fried rice was bland. The Yum Yum was decent. Although I ordered online, I had to wait in line for about 10 minutes to get it. I wish there was a system for to-go orders. read more

Its a hole in the wall but great food and service. Cooked to order. I love their honey chicken!!! read more

Three Happiness Express - Honey chicken - Chinese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I went around 2 in the afternoon so there were only a couple other tables with customers at them. It's a small restaurant with few tables. The staff were friendly. And it didn't take long at all to get my food. I give the food itself a 5/5 it was good. I ordered the general Taos chicken and a side order of crab Rangoon. The crab Rangoon were fresh and hot unlike other places that I've been to. The general Taos chicken was just slightly a little too crunchy for my preference, but it was still delicious. read more

I fail to understand how this place can have 4 stars. If Yelp allowed me to rate this place any LOWER, I would. It's a complete abomination and misrepresentation of what Chinese food is - it's not even good fake Americanized Chinese food! We walk in 45 minutes to close on a weeknight and find the place bustling. I think, it's a good sign, people sitting at tables, people waiting at the counter for to go orders, something must be right for this many people to be eating here. We order 3 very distinctly different dishes - Hong Xui chicken, Triple Delight, and Broccoli Beef. Each was a disgusting disaster. This is not an exaggeration. All you taste is brown sauce - not a good brown sauce, just sodium-laden excessive brown sauce that covers everything. The meat itself doesn't taste right - the texture is very off, I can't describe the off putting taste but something isn't right about it. The fried rice is nothing more than white rice tossed with soy sauce. The eggrolls are so bad - it's vegetable mush on the inside with barely a trace of meat. The hot sour soup is another sodium-laden excessive brown mess - you can't eat this stuff. It's just gross. The only saving grace to this meal was picking out as many fresh, crisp veggies from the pile of brown goop. At least Three Happiness could get that right but you can't enjoy an almost $30 meal when you have to wipe brown sauce off your vegetables and leave everything else untouched. I'm not trying to be a jerk here but bad is just bad. And this place is probably the worst fake Chinese food I've ever had. Period. Panda Express at any airport would be 10 times better than this place. The thing that blows my mind is watching the steady stream of people come in - even up to the very minute before the restaurant closes - to place an order. What am I missing here? How in the world are people enjoying this food? Are we that unlucky that we ordered the 3 worst dishes on the menu? Based on this experience, there is no way I would ever come back again. read more

I really wanted to like it since I live nearby and I've heard nothing but great things about the food here, but I did not like it all. I ordered 2 of their daily specials to try a variety of items, and was not impressed. The entrees are slathered in a sweet sauce that oddly has no flavor. The soups (I tried egg drop and sweet and sour) were extremely salty and oily. The color of the sauces are very odd and off putting. For example, the pepper chicken was shiny bright red- very strange. read more

I wish I would of taken a picture of what we devoured. Eggrolls, crab Rangoon, spicy fried tofu, beef broccoli and generals chicken and veggies. It was fast fast fast, hot hot hot and most definitely DELICIOUS. Plus it didn't break the bank either. Just good read more

a constant when I'm in Omaha. literally my fave Chinese food. love the green bean chicken spicy, pb chicken is a must for newbies to the area. jalapeño chicken is amazing. best Mongolian beef of my life. Ming's fried tofu. so good! lots of options read more

Egg drop soup is awful!! Tasted terrible, brown & gluey definitely The worst I've ever had. read more

I'm a regular turned stranger for this place. Their portions, taste, and quality, have all significantly decreased. There is no longer a sitting area, and there's no feeling left. I don't know if they just sold out to turn more into a fast food place, or if they sold out because their ego got too big from all of the praise they got before they changed up. The food isn't horrible but there's better options that are too close for them to feel comfortable putting out subpar food. It just sad to see really. No one i know has them on their list anymore. read more

I lost electricity so I got a room a motel 6 and tried three happy express ! I ordered then called the restaurant so they put fork because I'd already checked motel 6 had none the apt let me put fork! I did, then because I had zero way too eat if they failed I called the restaurant it's self the duty on phone said the driver was standing waiting for my order!! I also requested hot mustard!! Too make long story short grub hub driver brought nothing including no hot mustaches or fork!! The order wasn't what's I ordered except the spring and pork roll minus hot mustard! I would never order or go there again! I usually don't due negative reviews!! This one's well des read more

The sesame chicken & sweet and sour chicken is 10/10! They literally have fingered out a perfect recipe for the sesame chicken sauce. Huge portions and definitely worth the $13.99 for a combo!! Service was fast and very easy to deal with. I'll definitely be back! read more

Food. Very tasty. Good portions. Mostly a takeout place. NOT FANCY. B it hey, I am simple and it was good enough. Service. Seriously the nicest staff I have had in a restaurant in a long time. Will return. read more

Definitely the (second) best Chinese restaurant Omaha has to offer! It is super close to my work now so I have been able to enjoy it for lunch twice. I tried the Three Happiness Chicken and it was very interesting! It tasted like a spicy sweet and sour. The honey chicken was also delightful but a little too sweet. The hot and sour soup was perfectly spicy and good. Service is fast and attentive! Would recommend to anyone. read more

Wanted to take the in-laws out for Chinese, and hadn't been here for a long time. It did not disappoint! Serving sizes are still very generous, especially for the price of only $9, which includes soup and crab Rangoon or veggie egg roll. I got three meals out of my tofu and vegetables, which is the most flavorful I've had anywhere, being made vegan. Someone ordered lo mein and another ordered chow mein, and all raved about how good they were! Service was attentive and quick. The only negative I would say about this place is the ambience, which is easily overlooked due to the taste of the food. Told hubby he could bring home take-out from Three Happiness Express anytime! read more

I have been eating food from this establishment for years. In my opinion, I think it is the best in the city, even better than Blue Fly. The orange chicken was freshly made and delicious. Their crab Rangoon were large and tasty. The portion sizes are great for a feast. My partner and myself usually split a meal. They are very consistent and are always polite and helpful. read more

Best Chinese in Omaha !! Food is reasonably priced and servings are more than gracious. We tried to order on the phone but it kept going to voicemail so we drove there and ordered in store. No dine-in options allowed right now and we waited about 40 minutes for our food. Totally worth the wait as it was a busy Saturday night! read more

OMG. I am hesitant to try new Chinese places, especially as a chicken fan, you really never know what you're going to get. This was phenomenal. The portion size was amazing, it was the only meal I ate all day. The chicken was flavorful the dish was a perfect blend of spice and came with crab rangoon, I ordered an extra side not knowing it came with one. Crab rangoon is probably hard to mess up, their's were delicious. I didn't need the additional order, but I wasn't mad I had extra. Going to see how my air fryer heats those babies up next day! Try this place! read more

Three Happiness Express - Hot Braised Chicken. - Chinese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

For what it is, which is an affordable but good Chinese food restaurant, this place is the bomb. On the negative note, the person who sat us warned us it might be 45 minutes to get our entree, which it wasn't. Not impressed he seemed to be trying to get us to not stay when we entered, or avoid complaints if food took too long. That's the problem with good tasty cheap options in Omaha. Everyone else wants to get it too, so you might have to wait. As my daughter told me, who lives here. Everyone goes out to eat a lot! The portions are large, tasty and good quality. I had the sesame chicken and got hot and sour soup, that went with it. Would've preferred wonton soup, but they only offer hot and sour and egg drop. They give you a free lobster fried dumpling. It was tasty but not much in the way of lobster flavor. Maybe they waved the lobster claw over it or something! read more

So I'm always out on a hunt for great Chinese places since I come from Houston and the Chinatown there has thoroughly spoiled me rotten. I decided hey, its 2 PM on a Tuesday, might as well give this place a try before they're bombarded with the dinner rush. I got the almond chicken (comes with fried rice and a Rangoon) and a chicken egg roll, then patiently waited for my food (about 15 bucks total). Yall, I had to take a side picture so I can give you an accurate 3D view of the MOUNTAIN of food I got. Seriously, you won't be able eat this out of the container because they PADDED it with food. If you're a poor grad student who wants meals to be worth the price then seriously, give this place a try. Flavor is on point, large portions, clean interior if you care about that sort of thing, it's a lovely hole in the wall. Also, I overheard that they're opening indoor dining as soon as they hire enough kitchen staff so look out for that! read more

I do not understand the high reviews. This food was trash. I know it sounds harsh but most of what we ordered was barely edible. The lo mein tastes like the way horses smell. A mix if urine and hay. The crab Rangoons taste like bacon. By far the worst ones I have ever had. The sesame chicken was actually pretty good but the rice that came with it had zero flavor. They do not have steamed dumplings, only fried, which is fine, except they are small and overcooked. The person who cashed us out was very friendly but that doesn't really help when the food is this bad. I cannot stress how terrible the food was. It has been my biggest disappointment in Omaha. Skip this place. We spent $50 and disliked almost everything. read more

So glad that Three Happiness rebuilt after the fire! Still no inside dining, it's all take out, but that's okay because the food is as legendary as ever. Crispy Chicken, Three Happiness Chicken, and Peanut Butter Tofu are some of our faves! Hot and Sour Soup is awesome and the Crab Rangoon are delish! Expect a bit of a wait during busy times, our food took about an hour, but it was WELL worth the wait. Staff is friendly and masked and the new facilities look awesome! Can't wait to go back! read more

You know who Chinese spots need to have a little bit of sketchiness for you to know that it's good. Three Happiness fits that vibe perfectly! It's cheap, huge portions and absolutley delcicious! When you go in, most entrees come with a side of soup.. the texture is a little odd and is the same for both, the Egg drop and the Hot and Sour. If you can get past the odd texture, the soups are delicious. This place has my by far, favorite Crab Rangoon in Omaha. When I come here in groups, the three most common orders are the imperial, general and the peanut butter chickens. I always get the peanut butter chicken.. the flavor is incredible but the sauce is rich! If you don't like rich foods, I would go with the general or the imperial. Since it's good food, often it might be a little bit busy inside or you might need to park on the street to the East of the restaurant. It might be wise to go before or after the busier hours. Great tasting and cheap. That's Three Happiness. read more
