Great place for a nice and simple breakfast! The rice noodles are so thin with meat wrapped inside. They are hand made to order so everything is hot and steamy when you pick it up. I followed the popular opinion of adding an egg as well, and it added a wonderful aroma and taste of a fried egg. Next time, I would add more meat to the rice noodles as well so there's enough for all the rice noodles.
They are only taking orders by phone right now and each order takes about 15 minutes to make. They have 2 locations, so when you call, make sure you have the right location! Or else you'll find yourself going from Richmond to Victoria Dr or vice versa.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Andrew L.CA, CA02Jun 26, 2024
Good assortment of classic Chinese bakery foods, as well as super sweet employees with all around great service.

We decided to check out the rice rolls from Harmony Bakery in Richmond. There's only one table there to eat so it's really more of a takeout shop. For our rice rolls we got one with shrimp, and one with mixed vegetables.
After being sealed in containers for awhile, by the time we found a place to eat and opened up the containers again, the rice rolls weren't so good. The Vegetarian one was especially...meh. Wasn't impressed with the veggies they used. They appeared to be just the small bits of mixed veggies that you would find in a bag of frozen mixed veggies. Plus the rice roll itself was gooey.
The shrimp rice roll was slightly better. It was less gooey but still nothing to write home about.
We tried a few of their baked goods too. Again, not impressed. Not sure how this place got a 3.9 star rating on Google. It was definitely somewhere below that number for us.

Absolutely delicious! I've been looking for this style of rice noodles for a while but I haven't found any restaurants near me that sell it. We took a trip to Vancouver for a few days and of course I was looking all over for for different food options. I remembered that Richmond was THE place to get great dim sum so I searched up rice noodles and landed on Harmony Bakery.
We walked in and it smelled amazing. There were breads and pastries everywhere, everything looked so good. We decided since we were crossing back over the border to just keep our order small this time but we'll be back first thing once we come back.
The rice noodles were everything I was hoping they'd be. Chewy, soft, SO good. The cake my husband got was also pretty good. It had like a sweet rice flavor. Definitely recommend getting egg with the noodles!
We didn't know this going in so keep in mind that they are CASH ONLY. We had to run across the street to find an ATM while they were making our food. Unless I completely missed it, there's no sign anywhere stating this and only a couple reviews here mention it.
Definitely come get some noodles, they're amazing!Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 1 - Sep 15, 2022
The rice rolls are good but not as tasty as ones I've had in NYC Chinatown. Also I called ahead and placed an order and they said 20 min. I arrived 20 min later and they didn't even make the food yet...be prepared to wait like 40 min or more bc they're so slow. Good but in my opinion not worth the wait given so many other places to grab dimsum in Vancouver.

This will be part of my new routine when I go see the optometrist next door or grab some tofu pudding from Excellent Tofu in the same plaza. I love the freshly made to order steamed rice rolls. Portions are big and prices are really good. We tried the shrimp one and the bbq pork. Loved both and they gave us a good amount of soy sauce to top it off. Next time I will need add an egg for $1 to try. We also tried the dai baos and very delicious.
Definitely recommend!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Mar 23, 2021
If you're looking for cheap and yummy Chinese food, you've found the place! However, don't expect any service from this bakery. The wait time was also extremely long. I would have given them a 5-star if I had been able to pick up my food in a timely manner.
I called the Bakery at 12:05 pm to place an order. The lady told me the food will be ready in 30 minutes. I arrived at the Bakery at 12:35 pm. I went up to the counter and told them my name. She "barked" "not ready, go wait outside!" and pointed to the door. I said I wanted to add a pineapple bun with butter to my order and she barked again "no time to make for you. go wait outside!" So rude! This kind of service is prevalent in China and Hong Kong and I've experienced it when I went travelling... my HK friends also warned me about this kind of culture/attitude, but this is Canada here...
At 1 pm, I went inside because it has been long past the time she told me. My food was sitting on the counter. So how exactly did they plan announce to their clients that the food was ready? They told us to go wait outside but not once did they come out and told us the food is ready? In the end, it took approximately 1 hour from the time I called to get my food.
When I got home, I was starving. Thankfully, the food didn't disappoint. The rice rolls were decent sized. We also added an extra $1 for them to add an egg each. The also gave us sauces for the rice rolls and they were very delicious. The preserved egg congee didn't have too many preserved eggs. If I added all the tiny bits, they probably equated to a nickle's diameter. However, it was only $4.
Overall, the food was yummy and very reasonably priced. I will go back for more; however, I need to figure out a strategy to deal with the wait time.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 2 - Caroline L.Coquitlam, Canada9396163Jan 17, 2022
Harmony Bakery is one my favourite hole in the walls in Richmond!
Located in central Richmond and across Aberdeen Centre, it is a great and affordable place to grab a quick meal or a couple snacks. They are famous for their home made fresh steamed rice noodle rolls which range from $4-7. They have a couple different protein options: pork, beef, shrimp and eggs. They also make them vegetarian with just green onions or plain. It is fresh to order so you can mix and match whatever toppings!
In addition to the steamed rice rolls, they offer a variety of dumplings, breads and baked goodies.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 21, 2020

These are freshly made to order and they're very soft and delicious! The portion is very generous and one order each is enough! We will definitely be back for more especially at this price!
It's located right across from Aberdeen.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jun 1, 2020
I went here on May 24th Sunday and Yelp reviews brought me here. I didn't try any of the noodles mentioned here, but tried some of their buns.
I ordered the buns by the door and their egg tarts. Some of the menu is written in Chinese so I had some difficulty ordering. It was rather easier pointing out items in the store. Their buns were huge with less fillings in it. Noodle dishes are what Harmony is known for I guess.
Buns were okay nothing particular. Staff was helpful.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jun 17, 2020
I came by on a weekend morning and didn't realize I had to call ahead to make an order.
This is a hole in a wall, so they don't have a website or Instagram to check out their menus
Their menu on display is not fully in English
Signs on the pastries displayed at the window would be helpful
Customers are not allowed in the store so the staff came outside to take orders
The staff were so helpful in explaining what items they had on display at the window because most of the menu is in Chinese
We ordered a jicama fried dumpling and 1 order of steamed pork rice roll
The fried dumpling was so good! ($1.10 each). It was so oily on the outside but the inside was soft and chewy, and filled with ground pork and jicama
The rice rolls were steamed and so fresh with a good amount of toppings of pork and green onions ( $4.25). The rolls come with soy sauce on the side
My order was ready in less than 10 minutes
I would come back to try other rice rolls and add an egg to the steamed rice rolls, and try their other baked goods!!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
