Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"This is my favourite Chinese restaurant in town. Very authentic, and one of the best bangs for the buck, in terms of taste, quantity, quality and price. Always try the cumin beef and lamb, you will not regret it."
"The environment is not fancy and new, it is more like dining at home. The meals are tasty especially the Chinese burger, I love it. The fried rice and seafood pastry are a little bit too salty for us. We would like to try other meals in the future."
"Delicious Chinese food served by friendly lady! She visited us frequently to ensure we were having a good time and food. Foods were delicious, and I would visit the restaurant again!"
"A must-try and one of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever tasted! Reopened since COVID with new management but same chefs as I recognize after tasting the food. Portion sizes are appropriate (slightly less than an year ago). As an Indian and a fan of Indo-Chinese food, I find Chinese food made-to-order (a la carte) in Ottawa disappointing in most places except one or two dishes. But this restaurant is at least up to the mark if not better. Cumin lamb is best but most dishes are close to perfect including traditional Chinese. Spicy crispy dry beef is not crispy but chewy and tasty. House special fried pork with green chilli is also good. All dishes are spiced perfectly - they ooze taste as we chew more. Staff are friendly and willing to help. Affordable prices. Decent for dine-ins but best for takeouts. Moderately fast service. In Ottawa, I can say Chinese buffet = Mandarin and Chinese a la carte or takeouts = Harmony."
"The restaurant was closed for a while and it’s now re-open. The ownership and the menu has changed however. I was worried about the food due to the change in ownership but I would say the restaurant taste better than before. The food is more refined. Order three dishes and they all taste good. The cold mix chicken is my favourite. I can feel the effort that is being put into each dish and the freshness of ingredient. Will definitely come back to try more food."
"The special eggplant is tasted good and Laurel milk as well. The chef made Chinese food very authentic. However, rice is not good because it looks a little bit yellow and tasted not good. I think If you changed by another rice brands it would be much better."
"Unpretentious is a proper word to describe this restaurant, very low profile from the inside and out. It may look a bit scary and sketchy at first eating food from there but you’d be surprised by the amazing taste and huge selection that they have. I had the Harmony fried chicken and the house fried rice. The fried rice was to die for!"
"Got takeout from Harmony Restaurant and wasn't disappointed! It was so nice to explore/learn more of Chinese cuisine through the stir fry lamb with cumin, Cheng du deep fried spicy chicken, Szechuan style spicy fish filet. While there are certainly plenty of American Chinese food options and non-spicy dishes, it was so nice to order spicy food and be truly numbed. Can't wait to try other items on their menu!"
