Review: The food was good, besides the fact they brought us the wrong order. It was tasty, but very saucy and highly processed. The service was terrible and slow. This is a second-rate Vegetable Garden. It should be your last resort
 
Pros: Tasty * Relatively Inexpensive *
Cons: Slow Service * Poor Service * Rude

Review: The carpet is worn and faded, and the menus are fraying, but that's all part of its charm. You can get a vegetarian version of just about any Chinese dish, for far less than other places in the area. The mock meats are not so real that you'd mistake them for the real thing - their "chicken" more closely resembles sausage, but it was still tasty. Portions are generous - every time I've gone, I've had leftovers. Be aware, though, that if you're paying just for yourself, you may be asked to pay in cash.
 
Pros: cheap * friendly * tasty
Cons: I can't rate it 5 cows * because it's not 100% veg? * What the heck?

Review: I travel often for my job and I find myself always comparing the other veggie/vegan Chinese meals I eat to Harmony. No one has matched it (and I've been to a lot of cities in the US). Since I moved away from DC, we always come back here every time we visit, and always for lunch. The lunch specials are the best deal around, you get a salad with the absolute best miso peanut vinaigrette, a crispy veggie roll, main dish and rice. We get the same thing every time, Kung Pao and Sesame mock chicken. We also always add the Crispy Tofu Steak appetizer (we each get our own :)). Bursts of flavor in delicious sauce.

This is not a full veggie restaurant, although all dishes can be served in their meat form or veggie mock form. This makes it an ideal place to go if you have reluctant omnivores or carnivores traveling with you. Can't wait to go back!

 
Pros: Delicious * Cheap * Filling
Cons: Isn't one near me in Charlotte! * *

Review: Although they have good days and not-so-good days, Harmony Cafe is mostly good. Almost anything on their extensive menu can be veganized with excellent mock meats, although they do have a vegetable section. A must-have there is the Vegetarian Skewer appetizers, three kabobs of vegetables and soy puffs in a delicious peanut-sesame sauce.

I recently went with a friend who'd never been there, and while a sign said they'd open at 5:00, it was well after that when they opened. The hours can be spotty sometime, as there is only one server and (I have heard) one person doing the cooking. My friend loved the food we got and also enjoyed the atmosphere.

I wouldn't go to Georgetown just to eat there, but if you're nearby, it's a great place to grab a bite.

 
Pros: Good prices * Good food * Nice atmosphere
Cons: Odd hours sometimes * *
