waltd Posted November 9, 2021 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Has anyone done a review on the Harmony Asian Restaurant? Just wondering what the food was like in this somewhat new specialty restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
san diego sue Posted November 9, 2021 #2 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Ate there on the Majestic last week. My favorite meal on the ship. We loved it. Service was outstanding .I would have eaten there more often and should have done so. Next time we did specialty went to the Crown Grill. Food was also very good but I preferred Harmony. It was the location that Sabatinis is on other ships.Very private and quiet. Edited November 9, 2021 by san diego sue 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike & Zen Posted November 9, 2021 #3 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I absolutely echo San Diego Sue’s review! It’s our favourite speciality restaurant onboard. We ate there twice during our B2B in Sep/Oct. If you order some spicy dishes, makes sure you tell the server to what degree spiciness/hotness you prefer. Also, try Bistro Sur La Mer. You can always try the Crown Grill or Sterling Steakhouse in most Princess ships…go for something different. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnamenek Posted November 9, 2021 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Was there in October and it was very good, amazing service and great location. We tried all 3 restaurants and enjoyed them all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted November 9, 2021 #5 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Use the search feature on this forum for the word "Harmony" and you will locate a bunch of reviews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so dumb question. How do you search 'this forum' only? Everytime I use the search icon I end searching well beyond the Princess board. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Emerald Posted November 9, 2021 #9 Share Posted November 9, 2021 We ate in Harmony on the Majestic in September. We liked it a lot. The restaurant was quiet and pretty. Fantastic waiter! I had Lemon chicken, that was excellent, and a great green bean side. Dessert was Macha cheesecake was just OK. DH had a great dinner too with a fabulous Mango dessert. Not big portions, but plenty for us. It was a nice night and a great way for us to spend OBC. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltd Posted November 9, 2021 Author #10 Share Posted November 9, 2021 So have a question that I'm not sure anyone can really answer but has the menu been adjusted now that the Majestic is not cruising Asian waters? Does it lean more toward North American tastes. Reason I asked is I did pull up a menu and some of the menu items were quite unusual. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
san diego sue Posted November 9, 2021 #11 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Maybe does. However I asked a crew member at one of the bars. She had eaten there. I asked if food was more authentic and she said it was and she loved it. Asked an Asian friend who had been on before pandemic and then again in Sept this year. She thought some items were removed from the menu but also thought it was still very good. My thoughts that it was a bit different than the Chinese food we get in San Diego but more like what I remember in the Chinese Restaurants in N.Y. many years ago (when I lived there). The egg rolls appetizer was so good, could have made a meal of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason I asked is I did pull up a menu and some of the menu items were quite unusual. 🙂 The pre-shutdown menu was decidedly geared to Asian tastes, which is why I was really looking forward to trying it. Now that Majestic is based in the U.S., the menu has been Americanized to some extent. However, as Calvin Trillin always says, we should be less fussy about being authentic and more focused on if the food makes us happy. And Harmony definitely made me happy! Heck, right after my first dinner there I immediately booked a second one. Get the egg white fried rice. My server wouldn’t let me not order it and yeah, she was right. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try the egg rolls and think of you lol Hopefully they will have some dedicated vegetarian dishes as a few friends will be joining us and one , for health reasons, is vegetarian.

Mike & Zen Posted November 10, 2021 #14 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Online, I found the original Harmony menu that was used when we were onboard Majestic in May/June 2017. This original menu was found on the Princess website. Note in the lower right hand corner the year 2017. Read here: https://www.princess.com/downloads/pdf/ships-and-experience/food-and-dining/harmony-dinner-menu.pdf Also, online, I found the new Harmony menu used while we were onboard Majestic in Sep/Oct 2021. Note in the lower right hand corner the year 2021. Read here: https://s33722.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Majestic-Princess-Harmony-Restaurant-Menu-2.pdf The menus are more similar than not. Some items that had jellyfish have been removed, soups changed, and some other items changed. The majority (not all) of the new menu is from the original menu that was made for the Asian market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsSoCalCruiser Posted November 10, 2021 #17 Share Posted November 10, 2021 @Astro FlyerThank you for sharing the menu. Do you know if they will allow more than one item to be ordered in the vegetable section? I can’t decide, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if you could do it but the menu shows only 1 item…hopefully you’ll get to chose more than one. Our only specialty dinner on Majestic recently was the Winemakers Dinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuedon Posted November 10, 2021 #19 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) Ouch. Stripping out the more distinctive items and rearranging some of them into the supplemental charge area drops the cost of the menu down dramatically... and solidly lowers my interest in it from from a 'Even if it's uncomped', to 'I'm not sure I want it even if it's comped', for me.

Cuedon Posted November 10, 2021 #21 Share Posted November 10, 2021 "I'm not impressed by the new menu." would have been functionally the same, but a much less illustrative way of phrasing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I could have the fruit but I can only eat so much fruit in place of dessert, ha ha. You are always so helpful, thanks again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted November 18, 2021 #23 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I’m glad you posted about this and that someone posted the menu because I had completely forgotten about this restaurant, I think my DH will really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CineGraphic Posted November 18, 2021 #24 Share Posted November 18, 2021 We felt that $29 was a lot to pay for Chinese American Food, especially with the small portions they served. I kept imagining how many folks I could feed for $58 at my local carry-out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJGallagher1955 Posted November 19, 2021 #25 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I think we are going to try it and Bistro Sur La Mer this upcoming trip Nov 27. Had a great meal at the Crown Grill last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
