Ruby Rouge is the largest restaurant I have visited so far in Chinatown. Shortly after I got there for dinner on Monday, a couple of tour groups showed up, each with about 50 people. They barely made a dent in the overall seating capacity.
This is yet another restaurant that does not provide much choice for the single diner. They do have some combo options for 2 or more people, but the single diner must pick from the a la carte menu, where most of the items are larger sharing plates.
I started off with a bowl of Hot and Sour Soup, which was hotter than most, and sour.
For my main dish I looked at the noodle and rice section of the menu, hoping to find something with chicken and noodles, but there wasn't anything. I asked my server, and she asked if I was ok with the Shanghai Noodles with Shrimp, and she would have some chicken added. Well, that's what showed up, but it was a huge bowl of noodles (again, intended for sharing).
I guess I find it a little bit ironic that a restaurant that features Dim Sum is not able to offer small plates for single diners.
I would definitely recommend this place, so much variety, it’s impossible to try it all although I did try. All the dumplings are really good, but their other items are very tasty as well, I particularly liked the large cooked oysters they had. And try to save some room for dessert! The steamed filled buns are really worth it. That's the best Dim Sum place in town.
I went there for dim sum which was pretty decent. They use the cart system which I find way nicer then the a la carte. I especially liked the beef and pork dumplings and the squid was quite nice too. Unfortunately we didn’t realize that the desserts were served separately and not circulating on the carts, and so missed out. The place is really cheap too; for about 10$ each person got a pretty filling meal.
