| - I have a bunch of friends who come here regularly for family dinners, and I know that every weekly in Toronto loves this place...but I'm not sold on Ruby.
Here's why:
1) Their food is good, but not great. There are so many places in this area where you can get super cheap Chinese food. I mean buckets of noodles and rice for under $10. Yet an average-sized dish here runs for $14? Based on what I've tasted, I'm not sure if it's worth it.
2) I went here ONCE for dim sum, and after waiting in line, got shoved in a corner where none of the carts came around. After trying to get a waiter's attention for 20 minutes (they kept walking by but diverting their eyes elsewhere), we just dealt with the fact that we only had 4 dishes between the two of us, and left. I almost didn't even want to pay, and I'm sure they wouldn't have noticed, since no one seemed to care that we were there in the first place.
3) This area is essentially uptown Chinatown, and there are a million better restaurants in the area. Dragon Dynasty at Huntingwood and Brimley has MUCH better food, a renowned chef, and a nicer interior. If you want a good meal out, I'd suggest going there for dim sum or otherwise. They're only a couple blocks away from each other anyway.
