Overall, Rubis Rouge - Red Ruby Rouge is seen as a popular Montreal option for dim sum, offering solid flavors and value for many, but not without notable inconsistencies.
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.
Not impressed . They served us fried squid super hard from the day before I'm sure . I've had better. Order the meal for 2 . Expensive & not that good ... the dimsums are what you are going for ... maybe next time ... but we paid 76$ including tip for 2 people & I was still hungry .... mehhhh
Third visit to Ruby Rouge & we were a little nervous going in because of the influx of negative reviews. I want to say I have no idea what these reviewers were talking about, we had a lovely time. We did dim sum this time, & the only issue was getting something we didn't order & not getting one thing we tried to order. But that probably just comes down to a miscommunication with multiple language barriers! We didn't love all the food but that's what happens when you try something new. The delicious food was delicious as always, & we tried some new things that we loved! We ordered way too much, though! Leftovers for tomorrow!
Located on the 2nd floor. We had some difficulties finding which door to enter from on the ground level but eventually found the right one. There is an underground garage across the street where we parked. $10 CAD for under 2 hours.
Came here for dim sum on a Thursday afternoon. Got seated right away. Pretty big space with lots of tables. They accept credit cards including Amex. Dim sum was good, I got my usuals that I normally get in NYC. The cart rotations were on the slower side but we weren’t in a rush. You know it’s good dim sum when you see the grannies. They also have a la carte items you can order. We got the lobster with noodles & a fried tofu dish.
Toujours aussi excellent les Dim Sum de ce resto-ci depuis ma jeunesse! Ma préférée de toutes les autres au Quartier-Chinois à Mtl! Service à la clientèle toujours très attentionné & très amical! Un beau compliment au Chef! & Merciii!
I went here with my grandparents & they were very accommodating for my grandfather who is hard of hearing. The food was really good, I recommend the sweet & sour pork. The gentleman who served was very generous & hospitable! We'll definitely be back for their lunch time dim sum.
One of the worst dim sum services in Montreal. The cart ladies were rude, they did not provide us with adequate sauces for our different orders, they were ill equipped for serving food. The choices of dim sum were very limited. Their waitresses were unhelpful & unpleasant. They made us feel uncomfortable to ask them for anything at all. When came time to pay the bill. Needless to say 15% tip would have been exaggerated & too generous, so we took the liberty to hold back. Only to get a comment from our waitress about not tipping enough... are you freakin' serious?!
Overall extremely disappointed with the service & the lack of variety of dim sums. I would not recommend this restaurant to any one, at least not for their dim sum service.
I went for dim sum & although I found the squid excellent, my partner found the food too salty.
Good food in my opinion but you'll take a gamble eating at ruby red.
