Ruby Foo's - Delicious Dishes from Every Part of the Asian Continent!

  • Weekend Origami Demonstrations
  • Award-winning Sake & Cocktails
  • Pre & Post Theatre Dining

Ruby Foo's Times Square is creating a buzz of its own amid the glitz and glitter of Broadway's twinkling lights. Enter a Shanghai-style banquet setting for signature Pan-Asian cuisine inside this 300-seat, multi-decked "Palace", where bold colors, broad decorative strokes, mah-jongg tiled walls & colorful open lobby bar are the visual essence of the Ruby Foo's design. A gold-leafed Buddha keeps a watchful eye over the guests while they peruse Executive Chef Shawn Edelman's vast menu, a collection of delicious dishes from every part of the Asian continent. For a lighter bite and a piece of the action, score a front row seat at the 20-seat Sushi Bar where sushi chefs put on a show, producing fresh maki rolls & sushi from the daily arrivals of the sea. Drink up the latest Broadway buzz with seductive cocktail selections, including our version of a martini, the Lychee Mist.

Editorial Review for Ruby Foo's Times Square – by Raven Snook

The Scene
Most of the patrons are tourists, but you may spy a few locals noshing away-- though they may deny it later. The chain's ostentatious Eastern-flavored decor looks like something out of the Asian pavilion at Disney's Epcot Center: Red cloth lanterns hang from high ceilings, oriental prints adorn the walls and a gold, supermodel-thin Buddha presides over diners.

The Food
While the samplers seem like the way to go, it's actually better to mix and match dishes like the sumptuous Malaysian curried chicken potstickers and the crispy calamari. Lobster and shrimp spring rolls and vegetable dumplings tend to be on the bland side, and while the sushi is tasty, it's not always spectacularly fresh.

The food was ok, the hot sauce is what made it better. I was disappointed. I tried the place based off of the reviews I saw here. The lady that served us was incredibly rude the entire time. She even blew her nose at the table as we ordered. That was such a turn off -- ewww. I will not be returning to this place.

This spot is by far one of the best in Times Square. The cocktails are inventive and really yummy. Asian margartia and martinis are fabulous. The seafood dishes were very fresh and tasted great, perfect spice, not too salty or too much sauce.
