Ruby Thai Kitchen

"Sometimes, all your heart wants is a pile of chinese take-out. They don’t have general tso’s but they have honey and orange chicken which are kinda the same. Idk what sauce is in the mango chicken but it’s good and the chicken is crunchy. I’m pretty much knocked out and useless after I eat this but it’s pure happiness lol."

"Don’t let the name fool you. It’s actually all Chinese fast food. I came here and was so disappointed. I order the pad see yu. The flat noodle went through the grinder which so much gravy sauce. I had this same dish in another place what a night and day difference. Never would I make this mistake again."

"This restaurant is located in the food court of the Garden State Plaza. I've been here before the pandemic when I got something to eat before a movie. Since the mall has been closed for a while, I haven't been able to visit again. Today, after finding out that the mall is open, I called Ruby Thai Kitchen to see if they were open as well because I was craving their food, especially their mango chicken. To my surprise, they told me they were in fact open, but I had caught them just when they started closing. I was sad to hear that at first, but then the lady was so nice and said she will wait for me to get there (even after I told her it's about a 15 minute drive for me). I have never experienced customer service that great. I was really appreciative that she did this and was so delighted. I got an order of their mango chicken, orange chicken, grilled chicken with a side of fried rice. Honestly, the other reviews are right. Their mango chicken is to die for, and I can't stop thinking about it. I had gotten this the last time I went and thought it was amazing so I'm glad to see that the other reviewers here agree with that. The chicken has the perfect amount of crisp and the sauce is like sweet and creamy. If you only are going to get one thing, I highly recommend the mango chicken. The grilled chicken is the one that they pass samples to frequently if you are walking around, and that one is also delicious. Although this restaurant has the word Thai in its name, I do feel the hot table is more (American) Chinese-oriented, which is fine and works in my favor, because I love mall Americanized Chinese food. I believe they do have several Thai dishes that can be ordered. I prefer Ruby Thai Kitchen's food to any Chinese takeout place. There's just something about the quality and taste of the food that you don't get with takeout Chinese. The portion sizes are very generous here. I got enough food for almost 2 meals. For 2 meats and 2 sides, it costs $8.99. If you pick 3 meats and a side, it costs $9.99. The price is pretty good in my opinion as it is super filling. I can't recommend this place any higher. If you are in the food court at the Garden State Plaza and love Chinese food, definitely go here. It is worth the extra drive for me to go here instead of settling for a takeout Chinese place that is closer. The staff is also super friendly and I have never been happier with their level of customer service."

"Employees are very friendly. Price is good. Good drink selection. Lots of menu options. Price is good. Noodles taste good. Rice is good. Bbq chicken tastes good too. But, the beef and mago chicken tasted bad this time. They apparently mixed in a batch of fresh chicken and beef with stale, old meats that are hard to chew and do not taste good at all. I hope they will only serve fresh meats next time and stop mixing old with new because it doesnt taste good and might be unsanitary if the old meats go bad sitting there all day."

"It's a typical asian fast food buffet with some South East Asian flare. The buffet line food doesn't look appealing to me so I've never tried, but they have another counter area serving noodle soup, and that is actually quite a hidden gem. It's hard to find decent Chinese noodle soup in the east coast, but this place turns out to be quite decent. Broth is light but flavorful, egg noodle is made to order so it's not soggy, and the roast duck version of the noodle is not oily, which is key. Its not great but definitely hits the spot!"
