Ruby Chinese Food

The food here is very bland and the hot and sour soup has a strange taste. This place is lousy. Skip it.

The general tso chicken and pork fried rice combo has no flavor very disappointing. Wouldn’t order from here again.

The food is good. Better than any other Chinese restaurants in the Manchester area. The delivery is fast. I’ve only received delivery and have never eaten in the restaurant.

We ordered from the lunch special orange chicken plus ask for white chicken which is cost more. we pick it up brought home and started to eat it when I noticed that the pieces were breaded chicken skin and fat. I called and explain it to them in which he said that it was white chicken so then I said I’m going to bring it back to show him when I did he kept saying that it was okay that’s when I took one of the pieces and pulled it apart to prove it and demand my money back and said I will not be back its too bad because there are set up with on line ordering I wouldn’t recommend this place.

I’ve had better, I’ve had worse. For what it is, Ruby isn’t bad. It’s Chinese take out. You’re not going to get gourmet cuisine if you order Chinese delivery in Connecticut. They’re heavy on the salt (probably MSG despite what their menu says), but it’s palatable, the portions are very generous, and it gets the job done when you’re hungry. It’s drunk food.
Plus, they’re incredibly fast with delivery. They’ll tell you 45 minutes when you order, and be at your door in 20 minutes. It makes you worry about how the get the food ready that fast (probably scooping it from vats of old pre-​made food), but like I said… drunk food. Don’t order it for the quality: order it for the convenience and quantity. They also have very polite staff who will basically double your portions on your next order if you tip even what most people consider the minimum (15−20%). All in all — it’s fast food. Don’t expect much. You’re not going to expect a Gordon Ramsay burger at McDonald’s; don’t expect a gastric revolution here. It’s generic, but it doesn’t taste bad and the service you get is worth sacrificing a little quality when you’ve had one too many and don’t have anything in the house to cook. I’d recommend them.

Just ordered and my food was HORRIBLE!!! I ordered General Tsao’s and Sesame Chicken-​both were burnt and overcooked! The Lo Mein tasted like chemicals. Very disappointed! Will not be going here again!!!

This is why I will always check Unilocal before going someplace new! Ordered from this place based on the reviews shown in the google search, which were mostly good (4.2 out of 5). My meal, on the other hand, was NOT good, in any sense. Shrimp and broccoli were overcooked to the point that the broccoli was falling apart. General Tso’s chicken was totally soggy, with clear liquid floating in the bottom, and underneath the thin top layer of actual chicken, the rest of the container was steamed veggies (which might have been fine, except that I expect to be paying $ 10 for actual chicken unless I order chicken AND fill-​in-​the-​blank. I kinda feel as though I was ripped off on that one.
Pork egg roll tasted, inexplicably, like reheated frozen fish. Basically, the only thing this place got right was the steamed rice and the fortune cookies. Look elsewhere. There are other Manchester area delivery places that can give you a much better product. I spent $ 25 hoping to have a few days of leftovers. Instead, I’ll be tossing $ 25 worth of food in the garbage.

There are many Chinese restaurants in Manchester. but this one is the best. The fried dumplings are my favorite. Never a bad meal, and the staff is very friendly

one word to sum this up after one bite of probably the most common of all Chinese dishes. Sh*T. That simple, fried pure chicken fat in all dishes claiming to be chicken. Me and my wife were so disgusted. I tried it twice and found out the same thing. its Sh*t. not only is it all crap meat being used its always so overcooked. You know your in bad shape when the chicken dish looks like it was scooped out of a pot from days ago and placed in the plastic tray.

Ruby Chinese has usually been pretty good in the past, but this week when we got it, it was not that good. I ordered the General Tso’s and it was dry chicken and had no sauce on it whatsoever and my husband ordered the Moo Shoo Pork and said it wasn’t good either. I hope they can get it together again and become the Ruby Chinese we once liked!

This is the best Chinese food in Manchester. I love the taste of their pork fried rice, 21 shrimp, fried chicken, general tso and many other popular Chinese dishes. The restaurant is not located in the best location but the place is very clean. The place looks well organized, the employees/​owners are always pleasant on the phone and in person. The only thing that I really don’t care for is the boneless spare ribs because they are rather dry. Overall this place is a go to place in Manchester.

They serve your standard-​issue Chinese take-​out menu in fact you don’t even need to look at the menu, because it is exactly the same as every other Chinese take-​out menu in the state (except for the ones in downtown Hartford that also serve an entire selection of Spanish and Puerto Rican foods… weird).
The fried wontons contain a weird mystery meat (pork? chicken?), the Hunan Pork and Szechuan Chicken, and Hot & Spicy beef all taste oddly similar, and the lo mein is greasy. However — all of this is OK because when you order Chinese take-​out, you do so with the understanding that you are not going to be getting a fine-​dining experience. In fact, I expect my Chinese take-​out to be a little gross, and I believe it is totally normal to feel the need to shower after eating an order of General Tso’s Chicken with a side of pork fried rice. If either of those don’t happen, then I feel that something is amiss.

Consistently good Chinese food. Don’t be turned off by the rundown strip mall, the food is really good. We order the Singapore noodles and Hunan chicken religiously. The sauces on the dishes at Ruby are not as thick and heavy as some Chinese restaurants. The veggies in the dishes are also plentiful and fresh. I also like the option of getting brown rice instead of steamed white. Good stuff, have not been disappointed after many visits.
Tough to find it, but I found the website:

When it’s good, it’s the best take-​out in town. Unfortunately, Ruby tends to be a bit inconsistent. But as long as the rest of the Chinese take-​out in Manchester is consistently bad, they still get my vote.
