Reviews for Three Happiness Express in Omaha, NE
Tried this place after seeing so many good reviews. I haven?t found any really good Chinese food since moving from the west... coast and was hoping this would be it. I was really surprised by how limited the menu was, almost half of the entrees weren?tbeing made at the time I went. Both the veggies and chicken were drowning in a very corn starch heavy sauce that had almost noflavor. The fried rice was dry and bland and everything was pretty expensive for what you got. Read more
They recently shrunk the portion sizes so it's not the value it once was. The food is still good though and the staff is... friendly. There are good reasons that this is one of the best restaurants in Omaha! Read more
Tried this place due to recommendations from Omaha food lovers. We got there right when it opened and got the peanut butter... chicken and were not impressed. The chicken was so heavily breaded with basically no chicken (see pic). It was also very hard.The peanut butter sauce was good but with such bad chicken it wasn?t very edible. Disappointed because we were really excited totry this place. Overall wouldn?t order again. Edit: the staff was very nice. That?s why I?m giving 2 stars Read more
The food is great, but they recently changed their serving size and it is now much smaller. Shrink-flation, I guess. So while... the food is exceptional, the prices are now about double. Yes, that's right. They cut the portion size in half. There are plentyof other places where you can get great Chinese food. Go there instead. Read more
I used to love this place. Portions were huge and at a good price. Flavor was immaculate and they made sure they did it right... every time. Even after the fire and reopening they still were doing an amazing job. I don?t know what has changed in the lastyear or so though because it has seriously gone downhill. Somewhat recently they decided to not allow spicy be added to mealsand instead give you cups of chili paste to add in yourself. This is not a equal consolation as the flavors are still not rightas I have to add it after the fact and COOK MY FOOD AGAIN. The chicken has gotten to be mostly crunch and minimal chicken meat.The sauce was runny whereas every time I have went before it was more of a thick sauce that stuck to the food. I really hatethat I have to leave a 1 star review but Three Happiness has gone from the best Chinese food in Omaha to probably okie of theworst in my book. I don?t think I will ever go back again even if they try to make right. I wish someone would buy them and fixeverything or just close the place for good as it doesn?t live up to its name anymore.

This is mainly a take out place. No dine-ins. I ordered chicken fried rice and soup. The soup was alright, but the fried... rice.... Smelt very burnt and the chicken was DRY. terribly dry. I tried picking them out and eating but couldn't avoid thesmell . the burnt smell didn't do well for me I just couldn't have lunch. I called to inform them of my meal. I was told that'show they cook it. It's authentic Chinese. I've had Chinese in multiple places and never ever had "smoky/burnt" rice. There werepieces of cilantro (or some sort of green leafy pieces in the chili paste) The quantity was fine. The quality however was notedible for me. I don't think we could be their customers.

Disappointed I heard only good things about this place. I was really let down by how mediocre it was. It?s just middle of the... road American Chinese food. The sesame chicken is about 80% breading and syrupy sauce and 20% chicken meat. The fried rice isplain, no peas, carrots or other veggies. Nothing was impressive, but it was good enough to eat. The only positive is the sheermass of the food. For $9 an entree you get a lot to eat. Read more
Never disappointed no matter what I try. My partner always gets broccoli beef wherever we go but I like to switch it up and try... something new everytime. Normally I avoid orange chicken at all costs because no matter where I order it, it taste super sweetand artificial. Three happiness has converted me. Their orange chicken has just enough sweetness but also a layer of savoryalmost smokiness that made it one of my favorite dishes to date. I would like to see a little more spice but that's just apersonal preference. Their portions are awesome and so are the prices. The crab Rangoon were bomb as well I didn't try mypartners broccoli beef this time around but last time I stole a bite the beef a as so tender and flavorful. Read more
