I love their 4 course lunch special. I had the lime chicken, tom ka soup, pad Thai chicken and mango sticky rice. Loved it all!
This place is a joke, I specifically called and asked do you use fresh chili, yes we do. So i ordered the food and when i showed up to pick up the food I look right away and found chili powder. I confronted her she says we only use for stir fry not noodle dish. So then why didnt you tell me that on the phone? She played dumb as usual and didnt say anything. I hate this place they always screw something up. Here is a good look at the picture of the food that they made spicy!! Terrible work they just dumped chili powder on 1 side of the dish. By the way I AM THAI!! Never will I come back. ****After your Response.... I DID ask for fresh chili and recieved none. For reference? Both dishes were supposed to be super spicy with fresh chili!! And No you did not make it spicy. After reading your reviews, you never take any ownership that you screwed up. Besides what kind of pad thai is white I'm sorry but that is a disgrace, it should be brown to orange!!
This is a lovely, cozy restaurant. Everyone here is very sweet and makes you feel like you’re at home. Our server, Mimi, was very helpful and let us know everything about Thai cuisine. Come on and bring your own beer! 😼😼😼
I recently visited Ruby of Siam for a meal, opting for their Pad Thai and a Thai Tea. Despite the restaurant not being busy, with the staff managing only a few to-go orders, my experience was less than satisfactory. The Pad Thai presented was notably bland, lacking in the essential tamarind flavor and, contradictorily, overloaded with sugar. Seeking to add some spice to the dish, I requested powdered chili. However, when I politely asked for the complete set of condiments, the response from one of the staff members was unexpectedly rude. Her demeanor changed significantly, and she even whispered in Thai under her breath, despite no one else being in the restaurant. It was perplexing and disappointing to encounter such an attitude as a paying customer. Based on this experience, I am compelled to say that this was the worst Thai food I’ve ever had, and I have no intentions of returning.
I recently dined at Ruby of Siam, excited to experience their Thai cuisine, but left disappointed. The sardines salad, which I anticipated to be an authentic Thai style dish, turned out to be ordinary canned sardines, lacking the freshness and flavor I was looking forward to. Additionally, the satay skewers were tough to chew, not meeting the expectations of their normally tender and flavorful reputation. To add to the disappointment, a simple dish for my little nephew, scrambled eggs, was served burnt. This experience was far from what I hoped for from a restaurant that claims to offer authentic Thai cuisine.
We had a good experience here at Ruby of Siam. The dining room booth was nice and cozy. We ordered the pad Thai noodle, and the drunken noodles, and sweet-and-sour chicken. Our entrées arrived quickly. Everything was hot and delicious. Our server was very nice and took good care of us. This place is conveniently located to the DoubleTree By Hilton across the road. Will be back!
I was very happy with Ruby of Siam! The service was very friendly, the food was fantastic, and the Thai ice tea is very authentic and great. I loved their serving dishes as well! We ordered a duck curry (which came in a duck shaped bowl and was stuffed to the brim with fresh, crunchy and colourful vegetables) and chicken pad Thai. The jasmine rice came in another lovely ornate bowl. I also love that they use toast for the checkout - I love the convenience of the app. We will definitely be back.
TRY RUBY OF SIAM!!!
Don’t let any previous reviews deter you. I don’t recall they had the lunch special last time I was here. It’s fantastic! $15 includes drink, appetizer, soup or salad and an entree. Each of your four choices have MANY options to choose from.
The pic of the cucumber salad was after I started eating…sorry about that. Everything was great. That lime chicken appetizer was possibly my favorite part of the meal but the curry was first rate too!
Staff was quick and friendly. There wasn’t any music playing when I came in so the atmosphere was initially too quiet for me. Once other customers started arriving they played some soft non offensive music.
If you love Thai…GO! If you don’t know if you like Thai…TRY IT!!!
