Ruby Thai Kitchen

In a sea of fluorescent sameness, Ruby Thai Kitchen distinguishes itself not through spectacle, but through discipline. At peak hours, it is often the only stall with a line—an anomaly in the modern food court, where speed usually eclipses loyalty. The queue moves with quiet efficiency, overseen by a staff member who stands with you, marker in hand, writing your order directly onto the takeout container before you reach the counter. It is a small, almost ceremonial gesture, but one that signals confidence: they know you’ll wait, and they know exactly how to keep you moving. The system works because the food delivers. Plates arrive hot, glossy, and unapologetically aromatic—bold with garlic, basil, and chili, balanced by a restrained sweetness that avoids the syrupy pitfalls of lesser mall

Ruby Thai is hands down one of my go to spots in the food court. I always rotate between the bang bang chicken, the salt & pepper shrimp, and the beef—and honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of them. The flavors are bold, fresh, and consistently delicious every single time. The portions are HUGE (definitely getting your money’s worth), and everything is always hot and satisfying. Perfect spot when you’re hungry and want something that actually fills you up. Highly recommend if you’re at the mall and want something reliably good!

The Beef Pad Thai is nice. The Lo Mein is some cheap store bought linguine. The Sprite is toilet water.

My sister comes here regularly when she is in the mall so I decided to give it a try and I ordered the orange chicken and spicy shrimp with lomein and vegetables. I also added some plantain. The orange chicken and spicy shrimp were descent but the lomein was bland. I will order the proteins again. If you like plantains order a side versus an add on because with the side on it came with 4 pieces. I’ll pay more and order the full size next time to see how much the portion is. If you are in need of a quick lunch give it a try.

Browsed the selections and did not notice any Thai cuisine. Saw egg rolls, wonton soup, & Lo Mein. The name RUBY THAI is misleading. Perhaps the chef is Thai but the cooking is more likely Chinese takeout style. That being said… I had the $10.50 curry chicken with veggie fried rice. It wasn’t bad and I did eat all of it. The food is okay and it’s quite busy each time I walk by. Don’t come here expecting anything resembling Thai food except for the name.
