Reviews
"Had an early dinner here today and had a really great gastronomic experience. There’s a la carte with very good selection of food at a very reasonable price. Then there’s 5/7 course meal where the kitchen picks and chooses for you. We went for the 5 course and that was very impressive. Great food, good portions, well seasoned and really delish! The staffs especially the staff helping us was very helpful and attentive. Seatings are well spaced and not intrusive. Super close to Princess Theatre so good place for a meal. Def will be coming back."

"Had dinner here with my partner and my daughter for her 21st birthday. Restaurant is lovely, modern and clean. Service was friendly and efficient and the food was spectacular. They topped it off with a special dessert for the birthday girl. I couldn’t recommend this place more highly."
"I decided to take my husband to RuYi for his birthday and I don't even know where to start. IT WAS INCREDIBLE. The service and food was impeccable. We love Chinese food however RuYi takes it to a level we have never experienced. Every dish was well balanced flavour wise. The dishes were perfectly sized, the smells will make you drool. We went over board in regards to what we ordered however it was worth every bite and the process of rolling out of there, We ordered the numbing beef and pork ribs with steamed rice and fried rice as mains which can only be described as wow. Cover your mouth, stop chewing. wow. The small plates were insane as well. Overall I would give it 6 stars out of 5. THANK YOU TO THE TEAM AT RUYI for an amazing dining experience."
"We had dinner at RuYi tonight and our experience was amazing. We ordered a selection of home plate dishes which were all so different and tasty. The tofu and fried chicken wings is definitely a must. Had the tasting dessert platter which was amazing. The waitress who served was was excellent. She explained all the dishes when they arrived at the table and made recommendations. Highly recommended!"
