Review Summary

Rubis Rouge - Red Ruby Rouge draws mixed reactions from diners in Montreal, ranging from authentic Cantonese dim sum with cart service and generous portions to complaints about inconsistent taste, with some items like dumplings praised while others such as fried calamari are cold or bland. Several reviews note a pleasant, spacious, family friendly atmosphere and values that are as affordable as they seem, while service quality varies from warm and efficient to slow or gruff, sometimes adding charm but at times causing frustration. Menu information and billing can be confusing for non-French speakers, and one experience mentioned a mischarged order with shellfish and a push to tip, prompting caution about paying cash versus card. Yet many diners still call it one of the best budget friendly spots for dim sum in Chinatown, with nostalgia for the traditional cart service and frequent praise for specific dishes like sesame balls, chicken with garlic bok choy, and other favorites, and several long time visitors say the quality remains solid over the years. Overall, it feels like a classic, sometimes inconsistent but generally hearty option for authentic Chinese dim sum and Cantonese style dishes, best experienced with flexible expectations about service and menu details.

Excellent dim sum, reasonably priced, cool Chinese stuff on the TVs.

Très déçu 😞 de mon expérience. Les pattes de poulet sont fades, la sauce ne goûte rien ou ce n'est pas assaisonné correctement. Les calmars frits étaient froid 🥶. Les boulettes & dumplings étaient bonnes. Le service est slow. Ambiance est agréable. Meilleur Dim sum 🥟 ailleurs ;)

Went their for dim sum yesterday, & even thought the place is not packed, the service was extremely slow.. we waited almost an hour & we had : a tray of xiu mai, a tray of dumpling, a bowl of porc chop ( with almost nothing in it but bones & fat), & a dish of very cold shrimp. That's it. 4 dishes in 1 hour. We flagged down different waitresses to ask for service & for the ladies who push the food cart too but no one cared. The worst thing ? All of that costed us 31$ & when we said we don't want to give tips because of bad service, the lady at the cashier , not only did not care about our feedbacks , but kinda blame us for not calling the cart ladies enough . If there was a 0 star that would be my most accurate rating.

One typical old style Chinese restaurant. Service was meh... Ok-ish, food was... eatable, won't call delicious. If it wasn't my parents wanted to eat dim sum, there could be loads of other choices in walking distance.

Good dim sum service with the carts! Usually best to go after 11am. Good variety of items & prices.

Classic Cantonese dim sum that still has cart service at brunch. The food is fresh & tasty & the service ranges from excellent to curmudgeonly but isn't that the charm? Don't be put off by reviews that don't understand the humor in gruff service. Super spacious so easy for groups.

Typical Chinese Dim Sum.
Not my first not my last visit.

Chinese friends helped us with our order. Ate at 1pm on a Monday. Limited but adequate choices on the trollies.

Overall satisfied with under $20 with tax & tip.

Randomly went in here. Though we were seated quickly for a weekend, the service was slow. The food was tasteless. One of the worst dim sum experiences in Montreal. We also had ordered a noodle dish for kids & it never arrived & we had to chase after the servers to get it & it eventually arrived when the rest of us were almost done our meal. We asked for the bill & had to chase after the server to receive that too. Overall not a great experience. Pricing was similar to other dim sum restaurants so I would suggest checking another place instead.

Poor to mediocre service, food is poor to mediocre at best as well. Service is mediocre at best. This restaurant is still in business only because there is a lack of decent Chinese restaurants in the metropolitan area of Montreal. Not sure if I would recommend it to friends & family to be honest, but the place is considered somewhat accessible as it's in downtown, affordable as in it's not the most expensive restaurant & the servers are nicer to you if you are a regular.. Their morning dim sum (drink tea) specials before 11:00 is usually a pretty good deal.

Their plate of noodles seem to be a bit bigger now than before.

This review is for their ddash/ueats products.

This has to be the best value Chinese one can get on that platform. Dim sum on demand & other Chinese meals provided in a more generous quantity than most competitors.

The only downside is that taste & quality may feel a little cheaper, but if you're really hungry, it hits the spot.

I went to the Ruby Rouge for dim sum today around noon & we were three. The resto was about 75% full & we were seated quickly upon arrival. The resto didn't look modern but was still nice with its nostalgic warm old school Chinese decor. Our waitress was quick & friendly. The food was fresh, hot & good. However, even though the restaurant wasn't full there were no more food carts passing by us anymore after only two passed by. We waited about 20 minutes without food & decided to leave after looking everywhere & saw there was no one pushing any dim sum carts in the whole very big restaurant. We weren't the only ones waiting for food. They looked understaffed with their waiters & waitresses running around & no one pushing the dim sum carts at some point, I've never seen that before anywhere. I wouldn't go back there if I were starving but would go back with friends to catch up & take our time to eat & chat because the food & service were good & it's a nice place but the waiting was also very long to the point we left still hungry.

Authentic Dim sum cart service in a banquet hall style place. You can order a la carte earlier & the carts come around about 10:30. It was authentic & everything we had was tasty. Service was fine. They asked if we wanted things earlier for the kids we had with us before the carts came around. Enjoyed the experience & would come back!

j'aimerais mettre une bonne note car il s'agit visiblement d'un commerce familiale & local mais hélàs surtout comparé à d'autres commerces du quartier chinoise il ne fait pas le poids. Le point positif si on veut c'est qu'il y a beaucoup de plats très spécifique à la culture chinoise / asiatique, le genre de plat clairement pas américanisé donc l'expérience m'a paru très authentique. Ceci dit je dois dire que ce n'est pas pour tous & il vaut mieux s'assurer que le menu corresponde à ce que l'on cherche En revanche, il semblerait qu'a certains moment de la journée ce ne soit pas un dim sum comme annoncé, les plats ne sont pas vraiment chauds & aucun plat ne m'a particulièrement marqué contrairement à d'autres commerces du même quartier pour un prix similaire

We were craving dim sum while in Montreal. This restaurant located on the 2nd floor inside a small mall. We were seated quickly & was asked what tea we wanted. Was nice to see push cart ordering here. We ordered five dishes to try. Overall the quality of the dim sum was average. We went on a Friday & it was not too busy so it could explain why some of the dim sum wasn't as fresh. The fried squid was cold & a bit rubbery. The har gow was decent.

Off the beaten path but totally worth it! Don't listen to the negative reviews. The food is so good, & highly recommend dim sum. Servers are not going to check on you like how you might be used to in our western culture, just raise your hand & get their attention & you'll be just fine! Only thing to watch out for is ordering too much food, it's so easy to do when you're hungry & portions here are really big!

Went on a Sunday, usually the most busy day for dim sum. Waited 20 for pot of tea, food carts were very few & far between (I had to get up to look for food with the bill), & when I did finish a dish they were accumulating on my table cause there was no one to take them away. I even had to go get my own hot water to refill my tea pot. Also, if you don't believe in shrinkflation, it's hell of a real thing. All & I mean ALL the food is smaller, but prices are higher. & now they charge .50 for a takeaway box. If you're gonna go that far too Chinatown for Chinese food from the suburbs, might as well drive to the west island & go to imperial right off the 40. Red ruby has changed & not for the better.
