First time trying this place since it reopened. It's counter service, and the food comes in disposable containers -- even the soup. I wish they would serve the soup in a real bowl, as I personally don't care for hot food in plastic containers, especially soup. I know it's difficult to make money in the restaurant business nowadays, and serving food in disposable containers makes sense considering their portion sizes; there will surely be leftovers. I had the Mongolian beef with half chow mein and half fried rice. It was delicious! The meat was tender and full of flavor. The fried rice and chow mein were good, too. I love flavorful food that isn't overloaded with soy sauce or salt. I came hungry but couldn't even finish half of my meal because the portions are generous. For a little less than $20, my meal was enough for both lunch and dinner. I can't wait to try other items on the menu! The place is clean and the gentleman who helped us was quite pleasant. read more

3 Bros from China Express - Chinese Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

Very happy they're back in action The 3 dishes for $45 deal is pretty good. Quite a few options to choose from Food overall was pretty good. Great execution / cooking skills, however a little underseasoned, especially the salt and pepper pork chops which has salt in the name. Load it up with salt/msg/peppers/green onions and this would be a banger. I even asked for extra spicy and frankly it was less spicy / less peppers than most other places for this type of dish. read more

We loved 3 Bros because they were, for us, the most authentic Cantonese food in this side of the tunnel. Food always delicious, great portions and reasonably priced. Our hearts were broken when they closed. We had to go all the way to Alameda now. Well, and now the return of the reinvented 3 Bros express. It's a small, clean shop that is clearly geared towards saving them money. No wait staff, paper plates and disposable utensils. Thankfully the chopsticks are the substantial kind because I had brought my own utensils just in case! Yes, there are tables including one round for 8+ people. We ordered from the 3 for $48 menu: garlic eggplant, shrimp and mixed vegetables and tomato beef chow mein Hong Kong style (up charge of $3). It all came out in to go containers piping hot. We told the woman we were eating in so she brought over the Dixie plate and chopsticks. The eggplant was very good and stayed hot for a long time. The shrimp and veggies also good. Zucchini, broccoli, carrots all al dente. The tomato beef was not the same. The sauce wasn't right, maybe too sour? Too big slices of beef as I prefer a little thinner. The choices in the 3 for $48 menu are good! Next time I have to have the beef chow fun because that is how I gauge the chef. Ample parking, nice service and quick too! We are happy to have them back and you should be too! read more

Great experience and very delicious food. The host recommended the Sesame Crispy Chicken and it was fantastic. Moist chicken, sweet crunchy outside, nice sesame flavors. The Mongolian Beef was flavorful, tender, and a good balance of meat and veggies. The chow mein noodles were outstanding. Its primarily set up as a take out location but there are a few indoor seats. We ate there and it was convenient that the food was served in to go containers. The host was very friendly, informative and helpful. He also let us know that the chef is the original chef from the first 3 Brothers restaurant which made sense given the food quality. Yum! We will definitely be back! read more

They just opened back up a couple of months ago, so I was not expecting much. I wondered if they were from the same family/owners, cause I really missed them. I have been 3 Bros customer for 20 years before they closed. I was excited for the comeback. So I am a little disappointed for the 3 stars. The prices were good. We got the 3 dishes for $45 special, with S&P chicken wings, Hong Kong style chicken pan fried noodles, and the soft tofu with chicken. My daughter ordered a hot and sour soup as well. The wings were not the way they used to be. It looks like they boiled the wings before frying them. The taste was off but still pretty good. The noodles were a little too saucy and gooey. The chicken and veggies that came with it were okay. The soft tofu with chicken had too much starch and very bland to us. Perhaps it's just me, cause the other review had nothing but raves. I will try again in 6 months and report back. read more

So happy that they are back. We were part of the Three Brothers family before they retired in 2023. The menu is pared down and now it focuses on to-go and catering, but it's still very good. We like that the Hong Kong style chow mein is part of their 3-item value menu. Like every good Chinese restaurant, open on holidays too, as we discovered on the Fourth. read more

First time at 'express' 30 year customer in San Ramon and Pleasant Hill prior to this. Menu about the same, a bit trimmed down. Most items prepared the same, the S&P fish filet had a different coating, but same flavor. Reasonable prices on the 3 item entree menu, $45 for 3 entrees! As always, S&P chicken wings were excellent! read more

I saw this place new on Yelp so I wanted to try it out. I was told that they used to have a restaurant, but now it's a very casual takeout type place. I ordered the 3-dish special which I thought was going to be $45 because a Yelp photo from just 2 months ago shows that price but it's now $48.00. I suppose in this economy, $16.00 per entrée isn't that steep. Prawns with mixed veggies is delicious because it's a light garlic sauce. I do wish there were more prawns. I counted 8 total. Beef chow fun was yummy. The cut of beef is good and not cheap tasting. Lastly, the string bean chicken is also yummy. I think it's a black bean sauce. I ordered in person and the food came out fast. The lady that took my order was nice. I will go back! read more

Been going to 3 Bros in SR & Pleasant Hill for ages (35+yrs) Our Chinese New Year banquets (5 tables) were held in the back at Pleasant Hill, which is where the new "Express" is! First, Alan is cooking! YES!! Same great flavor! I understand the model of "EXPRESS" and it's fine. No table service, no waiters.... We've been there twice this week since they reopened! Worth the drive from Danville! We'll be back many more times, best of luck to Alan & Richard!!! read more

In the East Bay of San Francisco, a restaurant operated by three brothers for over 30 years has recently adopted a new approach. While focusing on takeout with some dining options, they maintain the same quality of food and service they've provided for 30 years, once again providing quick meals for East Bay customers. Their famous dishes include Honey Walnut Prawns, Peking Pork Ribs, Salt n Pepper Pork Ribs, Salt n Pepper Chicken Wings, General Chicken, Double-Sided Panfried Noodle Hot n Sour Soup, and more. I during lunch time to try it, and the food was just as delicious as ever, with big portions. It's definitely worth recommending! read more

So great to have 3 Bros back even if it's the express version. Prices went up a bit and the chow mein is a little bland when we went for pick up but I'm hoping they're working out the "reopening kinks". read more

I've lived in Pleasant Hill for 11 years, and this spot has been one of my favorites the whole time. Before the pandemic, I was coming here several times a week. Since then, I still stop in at least once a month, so seeing them reopen honestly made me so happy!! The food has always been the real deal. Big, vibrant flavors, consistently fresh ingredients, GENEROUS portions, and that kind of quality you notice right away. Every dish feels thoughtful and rooted in tradition, which is a big part of why I keep coming back. And the service has always been top tier. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind every single time. If you've lived in Pleasant Hill for a while, you probably already know how special this place is. For me, it has been part of the local rhythm for years, and I'm genuinely excited to have them back :D read more

We had long enjoyed the wonderful food from the restaurant in San Ramon and were so sad when it closed. This new location is serving the same great food! Yes it is more informal and is doing a lot of takeout but there are nice tables, easy parking and best of all, the same food. read more

The food was excellent! Ordered the Salty Fish and Chicken Fried Rice and the Singaporean Noodles. The portions are also good.

Phil, Jun and the crew put time care and heart into some beautiful food. This family business makes me feel great every time I visit. I really recommend stopping in and seeing for yourself. read more

Ordered prawns with vegetables, crispy orange chicken, Singapore noodles with BBQ pork. Came with fried rice & hot & sour soup. Everything was fresh and good. Nice addition to PH. read more

Three Brothers From China was our childhood restaurant go to location for anything that we celebrated as a family we were devastated last year when they decided to close their San Ramon location as that was our main go to spot. But we were thankful that they had the Pleasant Hill location. When they announced that they were closing that our whole family was beyond devastated. But when we heard that they were opening again, we were so happy and this past weekend I just had to be my grandmother's birthday and the first thing I did following land landing at Oakland airport was go to their new location adjacent to their old location in Pleasant Hill to grab dinner for the 12 of us and I cannot tell you that it is literally the same quality food from the same family and it was literally incredible. We're so glad that they are so back and I can't wait to be back home again soon just to see the three brothers. read more

Fry rice noodles with beef. Beef tastes off and the noodle were drenched with oil and no flvaor. We didn't eat the beef. There's better at other places for less price. The shrimp with veggies was good but I wanted the lunch special with rice. It was my first time there, the menu was not clear and I didn't get the lunch special I wanted. Probably the most bothersome part was eating off the plastic containers even when we said we wanted to dine in. It was uncomfortable eating there. You have to serve yourself water. Some seats were really dirty. They only have one person up front handling everything. Not a restaurant experience, it is "express". Best to order to go, I guess. read more

Overall a great experience. The food was so fresh and tasty. The place was very clean as well. The sweet and sour pork was so juicy, I'd say it's a must try if you like pork! Couldn't get enough of their fried rice too. It can get busy sometimes because everything is made to order but it's totally worth it!! Highly recommend, will be here again soon. read more

Yikes........... we really wanted to love this place. Especially due to the high reviews. Our usual place was closed so we went out on a limb to try something new. Not a good idea. Unfortunately, the food was not good. The person who took our order was nice but said "if the broccoli beef is good then the whole restaurant is good" so we got the broccoli beef and it wasn't good. The food came out in like 10 min and it was SOOOO hot in the restaurant while we waited. Unfortunate experience read more

Everything was great. So glad to see you are back in town . The place looks so good. My Mongolian chicken was amazing

Been a patron for 25 years before they closed the main restuarant. Now they have opened 3 Brothers express. Which is a small scale version of 3 Bros. Allen the cook is the same as before so no worries try it out. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Three Brothers from China legacy continues! They reopened as 3 Bros from China Express. It is still family owned and operated with the same recipes and taste which I am so excited about! Authentic Chinese food, comforting, and consistently delicious! Instead of dine-in, you order at the counter (or through phone or online) and comes out in to-go packaging. Everything is made fresh to order so it takes about 20 minutes. It comes out hot and smells so good! You can either take it home or enjoy it at one of the tables inside. I LOVE the honey walnut prawns, sweet and sour pork, broccoli beef, dry sauteed string beans, eggplant tofu, peking style pork chop, lobster noodle, hong kong style crispy noodle...I have so many favorites growing up eating from 3 Bros. They can still do private party or banquets if you call ahead to reserve! You can also call ahead for larger orders ahead of time for party trays. So happy to see them back! Same great taste, just a new and convenient set up. Highly recommend! read more

We were very excited when 3 Bros from China re-opened. We ordered from the $45 now is $48 for 3 dishes menu yesterday for lunch.. We had Peking pork chops, Dry Sauteed string bean and Salty fish and Chicken Fried Rice. Peking Pork Chops were very dried. It seemed these pork chops were re-fried from the left over from the night before. The sauce was good. Dry Sauteed String Bean was terrible. They either over-cooked them in water or used frozen ones. Salty Fish and Chicken Fried Rice tasted good. But there were clumps of white rice in there. They didn't do a good job mixing the rice. Overall, we were disappointed. We will give it another try in a few weeks to see if things improve. read more

Couldn't be happier ! We were literally devastated when they closed and had basically given up our weekly Chinese , we tried a few of the "oh so great" you have to try , asn none of them even came close . We've been back multiple times already , it's a diffrent model now , smaller more focused on takeaway but yiou can still dine in and it's just as good if possibly maybe a little better!! Love love love it!! read more

We had high hopes for this place, being reopen for an Express. Came in more than an hour ago, our order taken about 15 min after areiviWaited half an hour, still no food. Then checked on food again 15 min later. Wrong food. Had to drive back from home to get right food. Thought the legacy of the business on PH so long would have been enough, but it wasn't. read more
