great chinese food

I don't love chinese food per se but this little dive has great tasting dishes.
I go at least once a week.
Amazing prices for lunch, six dollars for soup, appetizer, lunch entrée with rice. Delicious and very plentiful. I like to order some there, and take some home. I highly recommend the curry vegetables, the Mongolian “beef” and all the soups.
The have mastered the meatless meaty tasting dish.
It is in the middle of busy Buford HWY
If you don’t mind the look of it ... bare bones tables and chairs, not much in the way of decoration, or where it is located... it is a fine place to go.
Dinners are not much more expensive, but they don’t include appetizer and soup: the curry pockets are worth it!
I wish they did not use Styrofoam for there to go orders. It makes me upset every time. I think I will start bringing my own containers so that I don’t contribute to the Styrofoam waste!

Pros: good food, meaty tasting vegan dishes, big portions

Cons: location , decor or lack thereof

VEGAN DUMPLINGS!!

I went here by myself and literally ordered 4 different kinds of dumplings. They were all delicious, and my total bill was only $17. I brought half of the food home because 4 dishes is a lot for one person, even an excited one.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Low prices, Friendly service

Delicious!

It was so hard to choose from all the options on the menu so we ordered several things and everything was great. Good portions and so inexpensive! Definitely will return anytime when I come back to atlanta.

Pros: Extensive all vegan menu, Inexpensive , Amazing service

Great Chinese food!

I just moved to Atlanta and was very happy to discover this place. I got a the triple delight dumplings, which is two each of three different dumplings. Very tasty in the sauce it came with. I got the beef lo mien which was excellent. The tofu was just the right firmness and the sauce was very light, not overly salty. I also got the sweet and sour chicken. It could probably fool someone into thinking it’s real chicken. So good. Large portions, I took home probably 70% of the food as there was no way I could even come close to finishing it. Friendly staff and tons of parking.

Very good Chinese food

The sweet and sour mock chicken was the best we have had. I agree with the other reviewer that things were quite saucy but they gave us a huge bowl of brown rice which compensated.
We also had the vegetable lo mein which was very good however I wish it had a few more vegetables. My family really liked the crunchy chicken with salt and pepper. The prices were were $8-10 dollars per dish which seemed more than reasonable. The staff were very friendly and my kids loved the place. I want to go back and try more of the dishes.

Excellent food

I’m not a huge fan of the vegan meats, but everyone I take here likes them. Everything else is excellent though, and the staff is very friendly. They also get to know their regulars. One of the best vegan restaurants in Atlanta, in my opinion. Take your meat-loving friends here. They’ll be surprised!

Delicious and now all-vegan!

I am fortunate to live about 10 minutes away from Harmony - the food is yummy and the service is great. The menu is extensive and the only thing missing is scallion pancakes! Maybe in the future?? 🙏🏼

Pros: All vegan , very affordable , extensive menu

generic Chinese food

This place serves generic Chinese food with a vegan twist- fake shrimp and chicken and things like that that are all over processed soy products. The food didn't have much flavor.

Pros: vegan food

Cons: faux "chicken" etc all soy products, not much flavor

This is our family's jam

This is our favorite restaurant. The people are so kind and always remember us. Our 10-year-old picks Harmony every time it's her turn to pick a place for dinner without fail. The hot and sour soup is always so good and we enjoy the sesame chicken.

Fantastic food on first time visit!

Just got home from our first visit there with me (vegan), my girlfriend (veggie), and my dad (non veg) and we were all astounded. They have an impressive variety of imitation meats all of which suit the dishes very well. We had beef, chicken, and sea food dishes and were amazed. Would highly recommend, especially for someone who is skeptical about vegan food!

Pros: Great imitation meats, Fast service, Plenty of rice

Cons: Felt a little cheap, if that's a con

Wonderful!

I got into town late, and was scared they wouldn't serve me. I ran in the door 10 minutes before closing, ordered food for takeout, and was out the door in minutes. I got the mushrooms with peas and broccoli, and it was delicious. not the best food I've ever had, hence the 4 stars, but delicious for takeout. I'm about ready to head back there for my second meal.

Pros: everything is vegetarian, so I could order anythin

Guilty pleasure Chinese food

I visit Atlanta from time to time and will stop by to grab a bite here. I love the staff and the food is good but I have to admit that I get it because I don't have any vegan Chinese food options at home. The food isn't great, it's a little bland and sauce heavy, but it's my guilty pleasure.

Pros: Staff, Inexpensive

Cons: Food is a little lacking in flavor

I've been here several times, but am done now

Update: I have gone here several times since I moved to ATL. I just find this place is nothing special. Many of the dishes are over sauced and not fresh tasting. The servers are very nice and friendly to children. I prefer Loving Hut in Norcross as far as food taste.

****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.

Great Chinese Meal

My wife and I were visiting Atlanta and went to this restaurant with another couple, one of whom is Chinese. They had never been there, but she thought I would like to eat in a vegetarian restaurant. I was the only vegetarian in the group. We ordered four very different dinners which included mock chicken, beef, and pork, and shared. All four of us agreed that everything was excellent. It was the best Chinese restaurant I have been to in years. We will definitely go back when we are in the Atlanta area. Service was excellent, also.

Pros: excellent food, good value, friendly staff

Eat Here Now!

My favorite Chinese place in Atlanta. The variety and quality of food is consistently high, the wait staff is wonderful, and the only thing I would change would be to make it closer to my house. I would not hesitate to recomend this place to anyone, even the carnivores out there - I doubt they will realize they are not eating meat.

Pros: Great food, Great staff, Never crowded

A favorite for over 15 years!

Obviously I am a huge fan of Harmony. It's located in a non-discript Asian strip mall on Buford Highway behind an auto parts store. The waitstaff here is great. The ambiance / decor is not much to write home about but the food makes up for it. The best dishes in my opinion are the General Tso "chicken," the "beef" with brocoli, the stir fried mushrooms, and the curry. The lunch special is the best deal out there - wanton or hot and sour soup, egg roll or curry pocket, entree and white or brown rice for $6.

Pros: excellent food, nice waitstaff, the lunch special

Cons: decor

My experience

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.

overrated

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

yum!

I live around the corner from Harmony & we do takeout every few weeks as not to get burnt out on cashew chicken......my boyfriend who doesn't like meat like products absolutely raves about it. 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

Cons: no delivery

Wow!

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

my favorite restaurant of ALL TIME!!!

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

Food Ok

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

Authentic

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
