Nestled in the heart of Montreal's Chinatown and located a few steps away from many of the major hotels and tourist sites (including the Convention Center), the Ruby Rouge Restaurant offers a real attraction for the downtown area. Serving tantalizing seafood, authentic Cantonese and spicy Szechuan cuisines as well as Chinese Hotpots, it's the perfect destination for wedding banquets, meetings, shows, private functions and special occasions. Dim Sum is served in the renowned Hong Kong style on roaming carts or at pre-set luncheons in private rooms. Ruby Rouge Restaurant boasts a two-tiered seafood tank is filled with selections of geoducks, lobsters, prawns, live scallops, abalone, rock cod, sole, oysters, and Dungeness Crabs. With two elegant banquet rooms and smaller private rooms available, the Ruby Rouge Restaurant can accommodate 650 guests, it's the ideal choice for family and friends to get together and celebrate.
Rubis Rouge - Red Ruby Rouge serves classic Cantonese dim sum with cart service and generous portions at approachable prices, drawing praise for authentic flavors, variety, and a spacious, family friendly setting, but reviews also flag inconsistency in taste and timing, with some dishes described as fresh and tasty and others as bland or cold, and service ranging from warm and attentive to slow or curt. Language and billing issues appear in a few visits, and a few diners note a lack of clear menu information in English or French or confusion over substitutions. Overall it remains a go to option for affordable dim sum in Montreal's Chinatown, with several mentions of good value and tradition, while others suggest exploring alternatives for more consistent quality.
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.

We have been visiting this restaurant for over 15 yrs & it never fails to deliver. The food is always great & the service is efficient. It is clean & well maintained, except washrooms are a bit rundown only. I would recommend the salted spicy calamari, as well as the chicken & black beef with the garlic bok Choi all delicious!
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.
Nous avons commandé des boules de crabe, mais on nous a servi des boules à la crevette sans nous prévenir. Aucune explication, aucun choix offert - & pourtant, le plat a été facturé comme si c'était du crabe. Sur la facture ? Tout est en chinois, impossible de comprendre ou de vérifier quand on est francophone. À Montréal, c'est inacceptable : le français devrait être la norme, ou à tout le moins l'anglais.
Dans l'ensemble, ce n'était pas un « wow ». Qualité correcte, service impersonnel, & cette opacité laisse un goût amer. Nous ne retournerons pas.

One of the best spots in Chinatown for affordable & delicious food! Their char siu with rice is always fresh & flavorful. Back in the day, it used to be just $4.50-$5 a plate, & even though it's now $7, it's still absolutely worth it. I've been coming here since my childhood, & the quality has never changed. If you're looking for a great, budget-friendly meal in Chinatown, this is the place to go
I have real high standards for Chinese food & this is my fav place here!! I've ordered Uber eats from here many times & have dinned in for dinner once. It's been exceptional every time! Staff are also super friendly.
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!
