Awarded two-stars by renowned food critic Ruth Reichl in her last New York Times review, two stars in Crain's Business and amongst the Zagat Survey's Top 50 Most Popular New York restaurants of 2005, Ruby Foo's has earned its reputation as an Upper West Side top spot.

Take your palate to the Far East at Ruby Foo's Uptown. This 10,000 square-foot, tri-level, 400-seat David Rockwell designed den boasts a two-story high sushi bar, a wall composed of hundreds of vibrant mah jongg tiles, and a sweeping theatrical staircase that would make Norma Desmond proud. Bring your friends and an insatiable appetite, because Executive Chef Scott Drewno's tempting menu is made for sharing.

Editorial Review for Ruby Foo's – by Citysearch Staff

The Scene
The sweeping space accommodates as many as 400 diners on three levels. It's a frenzy of activity: Walk-ins crowd the reception area; half a dozen sushi chefs furiously palm rice rolls at the upstairs raw bar; chopstick-wielding customers battle for dim sum; and good-natured waitstaff scrambles to keep pace. If you're looking for intimacy, forget it--this is a setting for revelry.

The Food
Owner Steve Hanson is one of the largest fish buyers in the city, and the offerings at Ruby Foo's are fresh and attractively presented. The remaining fare consists of dim sum appetizers, a handful of soups and salads and wok-fired specialties. Entrees are perfectly acceptable, if unmemorable. The best are those with a good dose of garlic and soy sauce.

I saw this place on the news this morning and decided to try it . WOW the food was outstanding and the service was excelent ( Brigett). This is a good place for a first date. Very affodable and family friendly. The drinks are a little pricy but very good. I live in New Jersey and would come across the bridge to eat here again. Tell a friend!!!

Pros: Food , Ambience and price
