A cute little hole-in-the-wall spot with decent food and a nice, quiet atmosphere. I stopped by a few weeks ago with a friend for a late lunch and had a pretty enjoyable experience. Both my friend and I are vegetarian, so we both ordered tofu dishes (crispy tofu in tomato sauce and mapo tofu), which also each came with a serving of white rice. Both of the dishes were great, with fantastic flavor and texture. The service was also incredible; our server was incredibly kind and attentive, and the food came out pretty quickly. The decor was quite lovely as well, with mostly traditional Chinese decorations and furniture.
Went on a Tuesday evening for dinner. Price of the food was super reasonable for the area. Service was super attentive for dine in. We received a bottle of water instead of tap for free. Portions were sizable and the taste was good. Best value Chinese place in Georgetown hands down.
Such a great little Chinese restaurant. I always make a point of going there when I visit my daughter at Georgetown. It’s delicious, cheap, healthy, and fast.
Delicious, healthy, fast, and cheap. What more could you want from the perfect neighborhood Chinese place?! I always go when visiting my daughter at Georgetown.
Aggressively mediocre. Ordered the beef broccoli with noodles, and got something with barely any broccoli that was swimming in a sauce that wasn’t especially flavorful.It’s not especially bad, and the staff were quite nice, but I’d take pause before believing those calling this place a “hidden gem”.
I've been a patron of Harmony since around 1995. As a vegetarian in the DC area, their vegetarian menu can't be beat for the price. Pretty much anything on the menu has a vegetarian option and it's hearty, filling delicious vegetarian food at reasonable prices. It's a place you can bring your carnivore friends and still have a very filling meal.I tend to order the same things, veggie wonton soup which is super hot with 4-5 small dumplings, tofu steak appetizer which is this crispy, flavorful stack of fried tofu with a delicious sauce and sesame seeds, Kung Pao veggie chicken (gluten based), and the garden salad that has this amazing dressing.The lunch special is the best deal in town and comes with a spring roll.There is no delivery and it's run by only two people. So please be patient. My favorite spot to eat in DC.
I asked for Pad tai, instead the served something completely different, when I asked the waitress to change it, she got upset with me and took very personal my requests. Made me feel uncomfortable.I don’t recommend the place because the poor service and aggressive respond.
One of the best Chinese restaurants in all of Washington. A holdover from days gone by when there were many excellent Chinese restaurants in DC. This is probably one of the last.The Chef is top notch. He prepares EACH dish with incredible care.Try their crispy eggplant and his roast pork with string beans for a start. Then move on to discover his other delicacies.The atmosphere is quite a character. It must have been a North Indian restaurant in the early 1990s when the current Chinese owners took over. They kept everything 100% intact!! It is a hoot. The glass cage with the laughing Buddhas is precious!! See my photo.The main Manager / Waitress / Bartender lady whose name is Ping is a real gem!! She has known us for nearly 22 years since we first started coming here!!A real Georgetown iconic place.
The chicken with beans and the wonton soup I ordered had no flavor except super salty. It was inedible and I had to throw it away.
It's a cute place but the food is pretty standard. Lots of vegan options which is a big plus.

Affordable food with good selections. Its Kung pao chicken is very good. Must try!
VERY VERY SAD PLACE. I am nine months pregnant and I went to eat here and wanted to hit washroom here but the rude lady at the entrance asked me to order first before I pee! How rude I felt unwelcome ! Anyhow since I was hungry too I ordered and then went to pee and later had food poisoning from their food! Disgusting kitchen next to toilet if you are lucky to have a glimpse!!! DONT GO TO THIS PLACE! Racist rude people!
We love this place! The amount of vegetarian options are incredible, the fried shiitake mushroom appetizer is the best! Also, a carafe of white wine is nice and rather cheap for ordering wine in a restaurant. The waitress is the same every time and just lovely, she knows exactly what we order, says it before we do. It can be hard to find, the door is on street level but the restaurant is on the lower level. It is a very nice place to go with friends, especially if one is vegetarian. Prices are good and the portions are large too.
Hidden gem! Great ambience and VERY quiet. Go here for a relaxing meal after a long day. I had the sesame chicken and beef chow fun, both of which were amazing. Their specialty seems to be more along the lines of street food, so expect sweet sauces and doughy, delicious noodles.
Pretty nice. good price, and fast service.
