Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

I have been eating Three Happiness since I was old enough to eat! The owners know my family and are very kind. Service is great, and they always know our orders. The restaurant was really beautiful and always crowded before Hurricane Katrina. It saddens me that things are not the same. The decor is very plain. However, the food has not changed. I'd recommend Egg Drop Soup, Banh Hoi Thit Nuong, Banh Tam Bi Xiu Mai, Canh Chua, and Ca Kho Tho. The egg drop soup is a delicious appetizer my siblings and I always enjoy together. I always have to ask for more crackers though, and the shape of the crackers are inconvenient because you can't use it to scoop the soup. The Banh Hoi Thit Nuong is my all time favorite. You have to request for it to come with rice paper, cucumbers, and pickled vegetables. I love rolling it into spring rolls. It comes with fresh leafy vegetables a nuoc mam. Banh Tam Bi Xiu Mai is delicious, but it sometimes comes out colder than expected. I used to eat it like crazy as a child. The coconut milk gives it a sweet yet savory flavor. Canh Chua Ca and Ca Kho Tho go hand in hand with my family, and it is my grandma and grandpa's favorite meal, especially during lent. The Canh Chua is not too sour, despite its name, and goes perfectly with plain rice and the strong flavors that com with the Ca Kho Tho. All my Ca Kho Tho's are compared to the one here. It is cooked in a clay pot, which is how it should be. The sauce is caramelized and thick, coating the pieces of fish with a spicy and sweet flavor.

Like Columbus, I've discovered something that others have discovered before me. Yes, like the New World, Three Happiness is pretty awesome. I am always open to trying new places, especially if they happen to have Vietnamese food on the menu. I had passed this place bunches of times throughout my life on the Westbank and I always wondered about it. I finally decided to stop in. First of all, don't be intimidated that this place is located in a super sketchy strip mall. Yes, there was a weird guy lurking outside of the place when I went. No, he didn't bother me. Just walk with purpose and you'll be fiiiiiine. The atmosphere of this place is great. I love that it's wide open and you can even rent it out for parties! I went shortly after normal lunch hours, so it was empty when I got here. I seated myself and looked over the extensive menu. You should know that this place has a lot of choices- both Chinese and Vietnamese. They have everything from classic Chinese dishes such as lo mein to Vietnamese yums like pho, vermicelli and banh mi. I already knew that I wanted some cold spring rolls and pho with rare beef, so that's what I had. I love that the spring rolls come 4 to an order. It works out for sharing and guarantees that everyone gets their fill. The pho was great! I got the small bowl, which turned out to be perfect for lunch. The broth had a lot of flavor and there was a nice, generous serving of meat, which made it perfect. I loved this place and I will definitely be back. They are closed Mondays, so be aware of that. I like that they have a huge menu, so they are sure to have something good that everyone would like.

There's one thing my mom and I usually come for here and it's the stir-fried egg noodles with seafood (mi xao mem). It's not often we get to come here because my dad doesn't care too much for it. So when dad's out of town or at work on a Sunday than mom and I take the opportunity to go where we want to eat for brunch. It's a pretty quiet place to eat unless you get your usual big party table. They do hold wedding receptions here every so often. But usually Sunday's aren't too busy around 11:30-12ish. Mom had the stir-fried egg noodles and I tried the chicken with orange rice. The orange rice was something different to try and I really enjoyed it. The chicken was seasoned well but was a bit dry in some areas. More than enough food for me so I took the rest home and had it later that evening. There menu has a variety to choose from. So it could be overwhelming if you're a first-timer and indecisive as to what you want to try. The rice places is something I've had often when I'm there as well as the stir-fried egg noodle. I'd recommend one of the two. Wish I could dine there often with my mother. Give it a try if you're looking for some good Asian food.

This little gem is hidden in a questionable shopping center. I have seen it countless times while driving by but never stopped in to check it out. It's been in business for the past couple of decades at least, so it must be doing something right. I decided to venture there yesterday with family, and we tried a few things off of their menu. We had our junk food fix with their "Bo Bo Tray." The portions was generous. All the fried things were cooked to crispy perfection. The shrimp toast could have had a thicker schmear of shrimp, but whatevs. We then had the salt and pepper lobster. It was quite tasty but was a tad too salty. The breading used made the lobster crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The house special hot pot was also wonderful. The broth was light and refreshing. It contains all kinds of goodies including shrimp, beef balls, seafood balls, imitation crab meat, Vietnamese ham, pork skin/rinds, and little quail eggs. We also had a plate of stir-fried greens which were good but not exactly worthy of any descriptions. Overall, I was pleased with the visit. Their menu is quite extensive, and we will definitely return!

I always order large soup mang cua. It had been $14 but last time they raised to $22 and today they charged me for$30! Just for the soup. Yes they lost me forever!
(1)Vy N.
The food here is good, but a bit pricey. I mean, $65 for a large bowl of soup? Not worth it at all.
(2)Tiff D.
I wasnt impressed. The orange chicken was ok. +1 for having it, +1 for it not being gross. Thats about all I can say about this place. Not likely to return.

Overrated if you have lived anyplace with real chinese food this place is comparable to mall chinese food. I went based on the reviews but not up to real chinese food standards. How do you burn shrimp fried rice that says it all

I would probably give this a 4.25 or 4.5. After not being able to eat at Tahn Dinh, we ended up here. I'd been in once before and asked someone eating there how he liked it. That was probably a year ago. Walking in, the first thing we noticed was how bare the walls were. Very sparsely decorated. The carpet was in horrible shape with deep stains and rips. Having said that, the floor was clean (It had been renovated into a venue). We started with crab rangoons. They came out looking like most of the other place's rangoons. However, these were obviously made by someone who cares how rangoons should taste. No K-rab in these babies. Real crab, little bits of green onions chopped in and good cream cheese. Frickin' great. Could eat three orders and be happy with life. Really excellent. I ordered the Chinese moo shu shrimp and the girly, for reasons only known to Girly, ordered shrimp and pig bacon (She never likes Viet dishes...weird girly). Her dish came out and she smelled the fish sauce. She doesn't like fish sauce, but that girl always seems to order Vietnamese food chock full of the stuff! Anyway...My moo shu came out smelling awesome. Sadly, I didn't get to eat it. The Girly took one smell of hers and pushed it away. SO while she ate my dinner, I dug into hers. Both were really excellent and I have no regrets. Service and delivery of the food were both fine. The price of the moo shu was great. The pork and pig bacon was a bit over-priced but still quite good. The girly wants to to go back...that says a lot for a woman who usually doesn't like many Asian restaurants. I'm really looking forward to going back too.

I came here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the lunch prices and selection. I believe that they are in the middle of a remodel and looks like a large open space and stage inside of the dining room. The décor could use some upgrading, but the food was really good. I can usually pride myself on finishing large meals, but the amount of general's chicken for the lunch portion was outstanding. I hung my head in shame as I asked for a TO-GO box. I'll have to try the Vietnamese cuisine when I return.

My family have enjoyed this place for the past few years now even before Katrina. The food is delicious and the staff are friendly. The menu is huge, so you can always find something to eat. I don't recommend going here an hour or so before they close, because the food is awful around that time. I understand people wanna hurry up and leave, but that shouldn't be the case. I just had to point that out in case someone want to visit that place around closing time. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 star. Try their ice tea it's great!

Recently, our"go-to" Chinese restaurant has not been up to par, so we tried 3 Happiness. What a pleasant experience. Service was efficient and friendly, but not overly so. Food was HOT, which is a good start. Then, its was really quite good. My lo-mein was delicious - chicken, shrimp and beef all tender and without any suspicious textures. Fried rice was a bit bland, but I remedied that with little effort. Over all, very good. We'll be back!

In one trip, Three Happiness has made it into the ranks of my favorite Chinese place for pickup during work. I work in Gretna and sometimes you just want Chinese food. I like China Doll, but I feel like that requires planning and strategery to order and go pickup on Manhattan Blvd. I check the Yelp reviews...hmm..Three Happiness. Ok, I'll give it a go. I looked at the menu and they have many old school classic American-Chinese specialties that I have cravings for, particularly during bad workdays. (Read: various forms of fried chicken, lo mein, or beef and broccoli) I glanced at their lunch specials, which were all in the $5.99-7.99 price range, and what do I see? Included in the lunch special is a crab rangoon?! There was much rejoicing. I love crab rangoon and I hate the fact that I want to order/eat a whole order of 4 or 5 in one sitting. But getting one in with my meal is perfect! Entrée, shrimp fried rice, crab rangoon: $5.99. Sold. The restaurant is in the shittiest of all strip malls on the Wank. The space is very big, sparsely decorated, and a little on the dark side. (But not The Dark Side) The staff was very friendly and packed up my order while offering me lemon and sugar for my iced tea. The food was delicious! Everything that came in that lunch special was full of flavor, hot, and some of the best Chinese food I have eaten in the metro area. I highly recommend stopping here if you are in the neighborhood. Good prices, tasty food, friendly staff.

Came here again! Good pho in the Westbank area. Great quality food (Chinese and Vietnamese) with healthy portions and good quality ingredients. Atmosphere is nice: quiet and uncrowded. Staff is friendly, speak English well, and provide prompt service. Menu is diverse with huge selection!

After reading reviews here, I visited Three Happiness Thursday. Now, it is Saturday and I've been to the restaurant three times. The food is delicious and the service is amazing! The staff is very friendly and attentive. When I dined at Three Happiness, I was thrilled with the restaurant's cleanliness. When I ordered takeout, I was astounded by the generous portion sizes. More importantly, the prices are unbelievably reasonably. So reasonable that I leave a comparable tip. All in all, I love this place. Thankful to the previous reviewers, who helped me find a diamond in the rough.
