Harmony Vegetarian

I really enjoyed vegan Chinese today. Lunch consisted Mongolian beef and sweet-and-sour chicken, hot & sour soup, rice, spring rolls, and curry pocket. They transitioned to all reusable plate ware, but until then it’s a mix and match. I would recommend.

As a vegan for 10 years, it’s crazy that I’ve never been here. It’s nothing special to look at, but the food was fantastic. I normally clean my plate and rarely have leftovers, but I got another lunch out of this meal. Just as good the second time! We’ll be back. #Veganuary

Pretty blown away by the food here. There’s a huge menu with a large variety from which to choose. I did have some concerns about what was vegan vs vegetarian (because the name is Harmony Vegetarian), but the lady said everything is vegan. I then saw a print out of the ingredients for their desserts, so I’m assuming they get questioned a LOT. After a good 15 minutes or so, I finally narrowed down my order. CURRY POCKETS I was expecting curry puffs, a popular Thai snack that I love. This wasn’t that and I believe that’s why I was disappointed. It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t what I wanted or expected, and it lacked any standout qualities. Would not order again. SCALLION PANCAKES Perfect; crispy and savory FRIED CRUNCHY CHICKEN WITH PEPPER SALT A small appetizer portion was perfect for me. They were tasty little bite sized pieces, peppered with tiny little jalapeño bits. FRIED SHRIMP You get 6 huge pieces of shrimp! They were delicious. I just needed a legit tartar sauce to accompany them. STRING BEAN SZECHUAN STYLE Quite delicious. I froze these for 2 weeks, and when I got back to STL, thawed and cooked them, they were even better than before! The flavors really set in! BASIL FRIED RICE Good but missing something. Maybe garlic? I also froze this dish and it too was better after the seasonings marinated in. I did add some of their chili crisp, and let me tell you: this ain’t no American chili crisp. It is authentic and full of spice! Pour with caution and control! STIR-FRY NOODLE SINGAPORE STYLE It’s fairly good, but I’ve had better. (Veggie Village in Phoenix, AZ has the best Singapore Noodles in the USA.) GENERAL TSO CHICKEN A nice portioned entree served with broccoli. Crunchy chicken coated in a tangy-sweet sauce. This is Chef Kenny level vegan Asian cuisine. 10/10 would order again! CHINESE DONUTS Look - This is the kind of treat that makes vegans like me return and ask, “Are you sure these are vegan??” Because these taste EXACTLY like the non vegan ones I used to eat decades ago. Like, were the OG Chinese donuts accidentally vegan? If not, why not? It taste exactly the same!! I’m questioning my existence at this point! No, but seriously, I was so obsessed with these donuts that I ate half of them in one sitting, in disbelief of eat bite. Even though I didn’t like some dishes, I absolutely loved everything else. Large portions. Fair prices. Lots of space inside to dine in. Restrooms were clean. Employee was patient and helpful.

I’ve been going to Harmony since high school— about 15 years! The portions are large and the prices are decent. They offer dishes that cater to crowds looking for both Westernized Chinese food as well as dishes that are more traditional with added mock meats. The restaurant went under new ownership during the pandemic and, while the new team is very friendly, the quality has changed somewhat. The flavors seem slightly less bold, and the fried items seem to have a different batter recipe. The sense of homeliness that I had when the restaurant was under the previous management is missed. The restaurant is still a great place to eat, but it’s different in both atmosphere and flavor. I am both happy that it’s still around and sad that it has changed.

Love all the food here

But I would recommend the chicken fried rice, general tos chicken or their chicken lo mein. But it doesn't matter what you get because all their dishes are amazing ?. Thank you for keeping up the good work ?. I love giving credit where it's due. Very pleasant customer service.???

I haven’t been to this place since it changed owners many years ago from the previous vegan establishment. The to go order was quick and everything was good. I will definitely try again when I’m in the area. 8/11/24 first off, let me say these people are so nice and work so hard. But you have to ask what is vegan. They were very nice to show me what contained milk and was not vegan. I highly recommend the spot. But just make sure you ask whether it’s vegetarian or vegan. I uploaded a picture of the items they circled for me that were not vegan  Updated from previous review on 2024-01-08

I loved the food. Good hospitality as well.

I love to eat here. The food is good. I like the recyclable containers they use to serve the food in. Large portions. I take coworkers here for business gatherings. The service is very good.

I took a lot of food because it's so good, they are amazing. We drove one hour to come here because it's so good that all the drive in the world can't get in between

Vegan wonton soup. Need I say more?? I don't know of any other vegan/vegetarian Chinese spots that have this, besides Green Sprout which closed long ago. Needless to say, it's delicious.

I have always loved the door here! At first, I couldn’t get enough of the beef n broccoli, but this time I tried the chicken version while my friend tried the wonton soup and the crunchy chicken! They are all delicious with a side of brown rice! Delicious, Healthy, and Satisfying!
