Under the roar of the ‘7’ train in Sunnsyside exists peace . . .or rather Harmony . . . a two-month-old Japanese and Chinese restaurant. To find Harmony, look for a rooftop of exploding neon lights that simulates fireworks.

It’s easy to feel comfortable in the large red booths engraved with roses. The hard part is choosing from a range of moderately priced dishes that span from the Japanese Chicken Teriyaki ($8.25) to the citronic Beef and Stringbeans ($8.25).

If you still have a hard time deciding what to order because you want everything, then close the menu, take a deep breath and tour Harmony’s generous buffet. Depending on the day, dishes can range from Mussels with Black Bean Sauce to Steamed Hard Shell Clams. The buffet starts at 5 p.m., except Sundays when it starts at 11 a.m. During the week the buffet is priced at $9.95 and $14.95 on weekends.

The BBQ part of the buffet has crispy chicken and roast duck. There are plenty of appetizers, including the not-to-miss dim sum. Keep in mind, Harmony has a chef that makes only dim sum. There are also five daily soups, including two dessert soups. As bizarre as a dessert soup may seem, the warm Taro and Tapioca soup more than redeems itself. Not overly sweet, the soup is based on coconut cream joined by globules of tapioca and cubes of taro.

To stick to Japanese, sit at Harmony’s Sushi Bar. There you can enjoy sashimi or sushi rolls that are sprinkled with sesame and minced seaweed. Among the fresh rolls are Tobiko (Flying fish roe $4), Ika (Squid $3.50) and for the less daring there’s the California Roll (Crab leg and avocado $3.25).
