A well-known Chinese restaurant in Montréal Chinatown with good food, a stage, & dance floor. Excellent for birthday, anniversary & other celebrations!
We went for supper & there were parties that evening. We were seated outside the main area which wasn't a problem for us. The dishes were amazing with great'wok hey'! The problem was more when the party inside started & waiters for the not main area were scarce.
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!
Taste wise, its mid-decent. The service however is bad. They are always understaffed, making it impossible to ask for something. Often times, they would forget the stuff we asked for, like extra plates or utensils. I get it, its busy. But it doesn't mean they should expect us to understand them & just stay the same. They should hire more workers so that they can manage the customers that they let in.
The place is very clean. Nice. The staff is nice & friendly. The atmosphere is very party & warm. But the food could be better. During an event, they'd bring you meat & seafood about 2-3 times (like pork, beef, lobster) but no rice or vegetables. Rice came almost at the end. The food was too oily. One water bottle cost 10$ which is more expensive than a beer which is $7. I'd give the place 2 stars. I don't recommend it
This restaurant's rating is too low. I have NEVER been disappointed with this place. I've ordered like 20 times. Always good, dependable... order never wrong etc... Underrated Chinatown stop.
