I quite like the Ruby Star. I have never had a bad meal, the staff are always very friendly and it seems to be family run. They offer all in box sort of specials costing around £3.50. The salted chilli wings are amazing!

I feel bad to write such a negative review but I would only order from here again it were a complete last resort. I feel bad saying that because its likely a family run business and they work as hard as anyone else. But the food isn’t so great and the people working the front counter are not so great at what they do either, the times I have been in there I haven’t had great experiences. I recall their curry chips aren’t that bad but thats hardly a compliment. With their being better options in the area I would have thought they might attempt to be a little nicer to customers and try and up their food standard. Sorry Ruby, your no jewel in my book!

The Ruby Star is one of the main take-aways in my area. To be honest I’d only really go here if the Boston takeaway up the other end of the road is closed. And after a few bad experiences, think I may just opt for home cooked food the in future. The food is standard Chinese fare. One good thing is that the menu is vast so there’s plenty of choice. Perhaps too much choice. If the owners had focused on perfecting a few dishes rather than trying their hand at everything it might make for better cuisine. They offer everything from chips and sausages in batter to ‘European dishes’ ‘thai curry dishes’ to a plethora of chefs specials. I have sampled the chicken and beef curries before. They are a bit sickeningly sweet, too watery and contain soggy mushrooms. It’s really not the best at all. One time I tried to sample a chicken and cashew nut meal with steamed vegetables to have something fresh. What I got was inedible and promptly went in the bin. Instead of fresh chicken it was made from yucky thin goujons that weren’t fresh at all, whilst the sauce was a sickly honey flavour. Yeuck! The prices are pretty reasonable, a curry is £5.60. Nothing on the menu seems to be over the £6 mark. I think you get the picture. Whist the staff are friendly and provide good service, if you have any kind of a foodie palette stay away from The Ruby Star.
