Review: I used to love this place, we'd drive way out of the way to eat there. But over the years the cooks have became careless. But with the "vegan" food and with the taste. Some of the chicken they use has whey in it (check the store next to it where they buy it from.) But my biggest issue is that they ignore some people for others, and often brought out very cold food. The last time I ate there my food was ice cold and smelled and tasted like cigarettes. No idea what caused that! But will never return.
Pros: some dishes are good * *
Cons: bring out cold food * not sure how vegan they are * |

Review: Okay so I guess I was very confused at this place because the menu looked like any other Chinese menu. It had a section for chicken, seafood, beef, pork, and vegetarian, which really threw me for a loop and I thought that it was all real meat but from these reviews I guess it was not? Needless to say it all scared me and I just had a veggie dish. The food was quite salty and mediocre at best. I really was not impressed and wished I had realized that the "meat" dishes were not meat so that I could try them. I did laugh at the paragraph in the menu that said switching to vegetarian can be "psychologically shocking." Oh well maybe I will give it another go next time I am in Atlanta.

Review: Just moved from Los Banos, CA to ATL. I tried Harmony Vegetarian simply because it was the only place stilled opened. I was using the GPS to locate vegetarian restaurants. So many were closed that we thought no more exist. Then day TWO we went to the closes place to the CDC and BAM!!!!! I did find the food salty, but over rice it is just right. The cookie with egg was a big disappointment. They should really not do that! But the place was clean, the service so fast I wondered if they read my mind as I entered the door. I would recommend this place to any vegan, vegetarian, or non-vegetarian. The mock shrimp was so real looking/tasting that my husband couldn't eat it. I didn't like the fried rice because the best I have ever had came from Tofu Com Chay in San Jose, CA. But again it is worth going to this place. The staff is friendly and attentive.
Pros: fast * standard prices * good food
Cons: fortune cookie isn't vegan * food salty so plain/brown rice is needed * |

Review: The food here is absolutely amazing! We go here when we can since the prices aren't any different than most \"regular\" Chinese joints. However, having said that, I had a pretty terrible experience after our meal was over the other day. They brought the orange wedges and fortune cookies to the table. I had already taken a bite of mine and my children had already consumed their cookies when one of my sisters-in-law said, and I quote: \"These are not Vegan!\" I said, WHAT?!?! She said, yeah, they aren't vegan, they have egg whites in them. WTF?!?!?!?! I am now wondering what else they let slide into their food or if this was an honest mistake of purchasing these cookies instead of vegan-friendly ones. In my opinion, though, that *honest* mistake killed a possible chick or few. I wish I could give the restaurant two different ratings. To be fair, I must give it a 4 as they've not let me down until now!
Pros: great food * convenient location * friendly staff
Cons: egg whites in fortune cookies * cannot be sure is totally vegan * now have to ask and check labels |

• I know what you mean. I just moved from Los Banos, CA to ATL and tried this place. I was pleasantly suprised to after finding a number of the vegan places closed (like Power Plant). At the end of the mean the cookies and orange slices came out just like you said and I decided to read the ingredients. I was very unhappy to find the product wasn't vegan. I agree they should serve ANY non-vegan products if they are an ALL vegan place. It made me wonder also about things like fish sauce, beef stock, etc. I may find someone to ask about that the next time I go.. response by WarnerRobins

Review: I'm really surprised at the enthusiastic reviews for this place. This is such boring, bland typical vegetarian chinese. I understand that there are not many of these places in the area, and if you've never been to one of these veg chinese places you might want to check it out, but if you're familiar with the genre, don't expect this to be something special. Heavy on the cornstarch and the frozen vegetables, this is nothing compared to the "Sesame Chicken" at Cafe Sunflower, which contains actual fresh vegetables. I will never bother to go here again.
Pros: cheap * all vegan *
Cons: mediocre food * far from downtown * |

Review: Harmony is great and consistently good, which is impressive. The menu is big- big enough for you to always get something new and not really be let down. The lunch prices are historic and enough of a reason to keep going back. Ther service is great- and always really fast. I love this place.
Pros: great selection * great food * great service
Cons: far from the city * * |

There Shanghai dumplings are amazing so are the spring rolls, mu shoo z& everything else we've trued.....hot & sour soup is a favorite when I'm under the weather.
Pros: interesting & varied dinners * staff *

Review: Harmony is a long drive for us, but it is completely worth it. I have never eaten a dish at Harmony that I didn't completely devour while making \"yum\" noises. The General Tso's Chicken and the Shrimp Lo Mein are personal favorites of mine. Oh, and the best won ton soup I've had as a vegan, by far! The weekday lunch special is an awesome price, but I would gladly pay more for this kind of food and great service.
Pros: Best Vegan Food in Atl. * fast, friendly service * cheap lunch specials
Cons: none! * * |

Review: I've eaten at this wonderful place every time I have visited Atlanta. My friend was, up until recently, a local, and he introduced me to Harmony. All the dishes I have tried were fresh and excellent. Amazing veggie fried crispy chicken, among the best I've tried. My omnivore friends loved it. Great soups, tasty fried rice. Very good mock meats and fresh vegetables. The prices are quite reasonable here. This should be a definite stop if you're ever in Atlanta. If you don't know your way around and have local friends, get them to take you, because it seems a little off-the-beaten-path.
Pros: great food * good value * clean
Cons: out of the way * * |

Review: I could not believe how delicious the vegetarian Sesame Chicken & Triple Dumpline Delight dishes are & available with brown rice to boot! What a find! Incredible vegetarian Chinese Restaurant! Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Very clean. Food is served quickly! I cannot imagine anyone walking away unhappy from this outstanding vegetarian restaurant. What makes this place even better is the amazingly great prices. Entrees are large and can be shared, with white or brown rice on the side. Two people can easily eat dinner for under $15.00
Pros: Amazing Food * Great prices * Clean environment & Friendly Staff
Cons: * * |

Review: I lived in Atlanta for 5 years and ate at Harmony regularly. Even though I have been away from Atlanta longer than I ever lived there, I still crave Harmony on a daily basis. The General Tao's chicken is the best veggie Chinese meal I have ever had, and is only seconded by their Mu Shoo Pancakes. I have looked all over California trying to find something that even comes CLOSE to how good Harmony is, and I have failed at every turn. I am shocked by the reviews that describe the food as bland or tasteless. I found every item on their extensive menu (and believe me--I tried them all!) to be extremely flavorful and the texture was absolutely unmatched. But the most impressive aspect of the restaurant, and what makes Harmony even more special than the food, is what an amazingly friendly staff they have. After our first few visits, the owner would always greet us by name. And once we became regular customers, he was known to treat us to dinner on our birthdays or special occasions. Even now, years after having lived there, whenever I visit he still remembers my name! This is the kind of hospitable, warm hearted, family environment restaurant that you just don't find in big cities. A true treasure!
Pros: the nicest staff * the yummiest food * crazy big menu
Cons: * * |

Review: clean place, good service, super food, vegan friendly
I went there wendsday for lunch, it was really busy, the place is almost full, the place was very clean, and the menu option are great.
i had kung pow chicken, it's like princess chicken or almond chicken, with diced vegetables and fake chicken, with peanuts on top, i also got a spring roll with 2 dipping sauce, brown rice (very good), hot and sour soup (it had tofu and fake pork meat!) all that for $5.50
needless to say it was the best meal i had in months, i ordered a general taos chicken with $2 worth of extra fake chicken meat added to it and left, however i will return soon, to get more general taos chicken, and maybe some fried chicken
Pros: excellent food * healthy cuisine * good value
Cons: none * eating meat is a con * |

Review: On my voyage for healthy food while on vacation I made a stop at this resturant. While there was only one other occupied table and it was not near closing time the service was a little rushed and not as attentive. The food was a bit greasy and bland. Over all I say the food was ok at best. Next time I'm in town I'll pass on going there.
Pros: reasonable price * *
Cons: rushed staff * greasy food * |

Review: Harmony tries really try hard to make fake meat that tastes like meat, which is great if that's what you like (and if you do, the menu is really vast). I prefer to stick to the mushroom or tofu based entrees, though the moo-shu "pork" is good. I do like the soups and appetizers. The staff is very nice. Less "Americanized" than most Chinese restaurants you can really get an authentic Chinese vegan meal here, though it's a little odd that the pre-packaged fortune cookies do contain egg.
Pros: authentic * *
Cons: fortune cookies have egg * * |
