Hubby and my go-to for Chinese take-out, though last night we decided to eat inside.Recently renovated..new carpet, new (un-Chinese) décor on the walls. Love the wood tables and booths, though they also have regular tables and chairs in the center of the restaurant.Menu is classic Chinese, and we feel all is fresh and flavorful I'm not sure if there are new owners, but there were always cheery female waitresses; now there is a pretty austere-looking middle aged fellow. We tried joking with him..no response/no smile. I figured out he probably didn't understand too much of what we were saying.Big language barrier, and he did tend to hover over us, and there was only 1 other couple in the place.All in all..a good experience and good tasting food for take-out.

My wife and I dropped into this place after reading the great Internet reviews. The reviews were accurate. Great food. Service was excellent. We had sushi and ramen, both outstanding. There is a large parking lot right behind the restaurant so it is very convenient. Loved this place!

While on a holiday with family we were introduced to Savanh, which is Bangkok Thai Cuisine. Now, I always stayed away from anything with Thai in the title because I personally experienced curry so hot, that I couldn't taste anything for a few days. The wait staff at Savanh explained that you could actually eat Thai curry and enjoy your remaining meal(s), because they could control the spices to your liking on most dishes. There were 4 adults in our party, of which 2 adults had favorite dishes. We started the meal with Sa Tay Chicken or sliced grilled chicken on skewers served with a peanut sauce. It came with a small cucumber salad that we could pick from if we so chose. We also had a dish of crispy tofu, my personal fav. Our next dish was a seafood soup which was really tasty, yet a little difficult to eat since you had to remove the muscles from the shells on your own armed only with a spoon. Dad ordered his fav, the roast duck curry: it comes with steamed rice on the side, which you place on your plate first before spooning the curry on top. This dish was not spicy and I enjoyed the flavors of the ingredients. It consisted of bite sized pieces of duck, pineapple, tomatoes, carrots, peas, and basil in a red curry. Mom's fav, is the Pad Thai because of the crushed peanuts, I'm sure. A huge dish sporting Thai noodles with bean sprouts, onion, eggs, and of course, some crushed peanuts on top. I had ordered shrimp fried rice thinking that I probably wasn't going to be able to handle the heat on the other dishes. That wasn't the case, this experience changed my mind of how I interpret the word Thai. It was way too much food and all of it was delicious.The restaurant is on the smallish side, so I would make reservations for groups over 4. Expect to take your time in eating, this is not fast food. They do take-out and the portions are good sized for family style of eating.

I personally feel the price is slightly high for what they offer for lunch. My son ordered the lunch combo for $11.95 and it was smaller than I expected. The teriyaki beef was flavored and the crispy ca roll looked good. The Godzilla roll looked a little weathered,but, the kids ate it up. No salad with the lunch, which I'm surprised at. Friendly staff and was ok.

I have seen other Chinese restaurants decline over time, so it's heartening to see that Three Brothers has kept their standards high and continue to serve very good food and offer great service. My favorite is Peking Duck; they serve it with the hoisin sauce and onions and small buns with the meat and skin only. A second plate comes out later with the rest of the duck. I also enjoy their curry chicken as well as all of their chow mein dishes. We will drive past several Chinese restaurants specifically to come here because the food is so much better.

I've come here numerous times for the Sichuan style food. Yes, it really is good authentic Sichuan tastes and flavors. They recently added a new menu (most likely due to the new cook/chef) which is definitely worth a try!Having spent some time in China (over 2 years), I was pleasantly surprised to see the Xinjiang Chicken Over Noodles (Xinjinag da pan ji æ°ç大ç鸡). If you're into spicy, this is it. It's a fairly large dish consisting of potatoes, chicken with bone-in, and hand cut noodles. Hand cut noodles are really nice if you've never had it before. Be forewarned though, eating chicken with bone-in is only for the adventurous as this can be a challenge if you're not used to it.The sweet and sour pork on the Chef's Special menu is also a nice treat too. It's served thinly sliced in big pieces and lightly battered. It's served crispy with the sauce and didn't come out soggy.The dumplings (shui jiao 水饺) are really nice too! You can get lamb, pork, or shrimp. It's served as an appetizer but in China it's also served as a main since there are places you can get large orders of it too. However, not bad at all for finding this in an American suburban place!The other dishes are also worth a try if you want something more familiar.

I was looking for something a little different than a regular meal of sushi and was please to see chicken katsu curry. The breaded fried chicken with an abundance of curry sauce was delicious. The curry sauce had plenty of curry flavor, seasoned just right, and was a little bit spicy; just the way I like it. Coupled with a mug of beer, it made for a wonderfully satisfying meal. Served with rice, my hunger was satisfied but I had to try the creme brulee for dessert. Served hot, it was topped with cantaloupe, which I don't think added much. The custard was a little runny, but there was great flavor. The service was exceptional; friendly, kept our water glasses full, and frequently checked on us to make sure we didn't want anything else.

We came here specifically for their vegan menu. We ordered the following: Dry Saute Green Beans (recommended by the server and was a GREAT dish), Bok choy with mushrooms, veggies with chow mein, Salt and pepper tofu, and General Tsao Chicken. All were really great dishes, especially the salt and pepper tofu and the green beans. The staff was very friendly and the veggies were fresh. High recommended!

We get take out on a pretty regular basis. This time things just missed a bit. The basil chicken was a bit flavorless and the bok choy with mushrooms had a thick weird sauce. Typically the food is better.

This is food plus entertainment...my grand kids chose this place, their college age.It's a habachi style place. We were 6 plus 6 strangers. Chef cooks at the table, lots of knives being tossed around. Very entertaining.The quality of the food is excellent. I had filet, perfectly done,,chicken and shrimp also good.. If anything there is to much food, soup, salad, veggies, rice then main course.It's a bit pricy but you get a lot..Enjoyed the place..
