Ruby Thai Kitchen

Well well well, I can say that I was pleasantly surprised by mall food. Who knew?
What’s special about Ruby Thai? For one thing, nutrition information is available online, which makes me a lot more comfortable about eating glorified cafeteria food. And it’s not *that* bad, calorie-​wise. The times I’ve eaten here, I’ve stuck with the Thai BBQ Chicken, rice, and a side of veggies. I actually prefer the white rice to the fried — for some reason, the fried rice didn’t taste like what I thought it would? But the chicken is better than average, and you don’t feel terrible afterward.
Other than that, I don’t think there’s much else to say. I think Ruby Thai is the better choice of the Willowbrook food court options (if you’re not in the mood for good ol’ TBell).

Ruby Thai Kitchen is really just another Chinese food court stop trying to pass off as something else. The same thing goes for the «Bourbon Street Café» next to it – typical orange chicken, broccoli and beef, flavorless lo mein, etc. They do have a few Thai dishes, but anyone familiar with Thai cuisine knows it’s far from it.
However, this place does offer a break from all that by offering a variety of noodle soups, including wonton, spicy beef noodle, and seafood among others. The noodles and meat/​seafood are cooked to order, so expect to wait around ten minutes for it to be ready. When it is, you add your own toppings.
The portions are decent for around $ 7. My spicy beef noodle soup came with five large chunks of beef and plenty of baby bok choy. As for the noodles, they were cooked too long and became soggy/​too soft. Great option if it’s cold outside or you want something that isn’t fried.

I am actually a huge fan of this place.
1) I love spicy food, and their special chili hot sauce is amazing. I pour a lot on my food to make it extra spicy.
2) They give you meat options and rice/​noodle options.
3) The price is very reasonable.
4) For Asian mall food, this place is fantastic. No complaints.
5) It is not exactly Thai food, but a somewhat of an American Chinese with That flavor.

eh, its expensive for shrimp, noodles and some veggies. i had to pay $ 9 for the lunch special. the shrimp didnt have much taste and so was the rest of the dish. it didnt have a tangy flavor like thai food usually does.

It’s ok, no better than any mall Chinese food. Isn’t really thai, tastes just like chinese fast food.

Good solid Thai food! The real attraction are the soup/​noodle bowls, which are off to the side and easy to miss if you aren’t paying attention. The servings are big and very filling, and they have fresh cilantro, peppers etc. to add to your soup when you get it. All in all, very healthy, and very tasty food, especially for a mall food court.

I’m actually a fan of this place.
Is it real thai food? Of course not. Is it better than both Sarku and Master Wok? Absolutely.
They do have pad thai, and pineapple rice, which are both great. The mango chicken is really just a general tso’s variant, while the bang bang chicken IS general tso’s! Still, the food here tends to be better prepared than at Master Wok, so it’s a welcome affair. I won’t even go into Bourban Street, since they seem to stand alone.
They also set themselves apart by having a lot of curry dishes available, and few other things you won’t see at the typical «choose your meal» style restaurants in a mall. Good stuff.
Only thing I didn’t like was the thai iced tea. You (literally) get a mouth full of grainy sugar in every sip. I guess this is common with most sweet teas, but with diabetes being such an issue, it always scares me when places serve this.
Anyhow, compared to Sarku, Thai Kitchen gets my vote. Sarku is the lowest low of Japanese food, which cheaply made teriyaki, and rather cheap sushi.
What makes me the most bitter is that, before Sarku, there was a nice restaurant in that location called Kabuki. They were the real deal — Authentic Japanese food through and through, and high quality. I would come to the mall weekly to eat at Kabuki.
Unfortunately, Sarku bought them out back around 2005 – 2006, and it just has never been the same.

Your typical mall asian fast food. Wouldn’t really even call it Thai food. There’s like 3 places in this food court that all have the same food!
