    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 .

    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!!!

    We live right near Golden Palace, so we pop in there quite often for a quick meal…read more The interior is pretty cool, with red walls, Chinese art, and clean white linens on the tables. The food is pretty standard and I stick to my faves most of the time, which are usually Broccoli Chicken or Peppercorn Beef (with extra sauce) and they're both good options. We usually will get the soup and do the mix of the hot and sour and egg drop, which is *chef's kiss* Their crab rangoon is pretty mid, but you can't go wrong with hardly any crab rangoons, so we almost always get that. Rangoons come with each meal from what I remember, but only two each, so we sometimes get an additional side of them. My husband's favorite is the Mongolian Beef, and it always comes with lots of sauce and tons of veggies (peppers, which he loves) and is great with fried rice. As I said, Golden Palace is a pretty standard Chinese restaurant that's similar to a lot of others in Omaha. But if you're nearby, you should check them out if you're craving Chinese food - you definitely won't be disappointed.
