V-Rating: VVVVV Peace Harmony is a blink and you’ll miss it Thai vegan restaurant on King Street in the city. While the tofu and cruelty free festival posters may seem more at home on King Street in Newtown, that doesn’t seem to get this cheerful little cafe-style place down.
I went there recently as a solo, early diner. I was the only person in the restaurant but the cosy size and friendly staff made me feel right at home.
One of the unique touches at Peace Harmony is that the six entree options come as a single serve. For $1.10 you can choose between tasty favourites like a soy chicken satay stick, curry puff, spring roll or vegetarian drum stick. This is an excellent option for the lone diner, and also convenient if you’re in a group and simply want one item (and even different items) per person, rather than the usual plate of entrees that are awkwardly indivisible by the number of people at the table.
The main meals include the usual Thai stir-frys with a lemongrass, cashew nut, chilli basil, peanut or tamarind sauce, six each of curries and noodle dishes, and a laksa. My cashew nut stir fry was fresh and filling, which was just what I felt like on weeknight but a little bland for a night out with friends. While a lot of the stir-fry dishes have the same base but different sauces, the spicy Thai salads and intriguing chef specials (nugget and plum sauce, Harmony soy fish, or Peace sausage) ensure that a group can order a number of meals and be assured of some variety. I think Peace Harmony also find a nice balance between offering dishes with faux meat without letting them dominate the menu (which in my experience can be off-putting for people unused to their chicken soy-style). I’ve only been to Peace Harmony for dinner, but I’m sure it comes into its own at lunchtime when the cheap, fresh and fast food makes the perfect meal for hungry office workers.

Lordy, you rock. I was -starving- and so bored of sifting through meatiness to get my vegetarian hit, at lunch today. I work 15 minutes from there! A satisfying lunch, and a walk to burn it off!
