Great Chinese food! My order is always correct and always nice people there.. customers and staff are sweet. I had a fellow customer give me a coupon at checkout. Seriously! The food is delicious and you have to try the chilled noodles..so good! read more

Called on Friday at 2:30 for a 5:30 take out. When I got there at 5:20 it was ready. Interesting note: I was order #34 and the bill was $34.34 (w/o tip). It was a good omen! Hong Kong beef was crispy and delicious. Sesame chicken combo was tender and tasty. So much food it provided several lunches! read more

Our new favorite Chinese place. I think this is the best Chinese food in Harrisburg by far. Like the food so much I only took a picture after I ate most of it. I had the hunan chicken meal. Very yummy read more

Hong Kong Ruby - Chinese Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

FYI food is as good as always but there is no table service anymore. You can eat in the restaurant but it will be with plastic ware and styrofoam. We decided to do takeout instead but wastes a half hour if we'd known it was essentially take out only. Again, good food, just not for date night any more! read more

This has been a regular spot during COVID!! Just look at their menu online, call in and our order is always ready on time! We've dined here for a long time but do appreciate how they have adapted for takeouts!! read more

I've eaten there off and on for years, but won't be back. I had chicken and asked to have white meat instead of dark. I think they forgot, as it was very small pieces not trimmed very well at all with sinew and gristle. The dumplings were very thick and tasteless. The egg rolls were crisp, but they had very little filling. read more

Food was delicious and very reasonable. Came out quickly. For lunch special you get soup and entree and drink. I haven't had Good Chinese food in over 3 years. Live in Maryland and came up to Pennsylvania for work. Had lunch here and best lunch choice I made. Coming back up here for work will definitely eat here again! read more

Nothing fancy, but food is always hot and fresh, reasonably priced and huge portions. I felt the beef with broccoli was a quite sub par, but the lo mein will keep me coming back! read more

This place is good. The food were delicious. Customer service was decent. Been here several times for take out or eat in. Love their Mongolian beef! Super good. Their general tso chicken also good. They cooked it crispy and crunchy. Their Shanghai rolls were good too! Their soup made from real chicken broth. Pricewise is comparable. They also have Pho soup, but never try it. Definitely have to try it. read more

Best Chinese food in the area. I've been going here for years and have never had anything short of good service and good food. The lunch specials are low priced and you get a ridiculous amount of rice/main dish. read more

Hong Kong Ruby - Lunch Special General Tso Chicken with Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

In 2018, I would have given 5 stars. 2019 started their decline in food quality, food quantity and soaring prices. I can deal with price increases but not for bad food! It's just not worth the cost to eat there. I will not order from them any longer. So sad. read more

Food is not bad and the friendliness, service and quality of food are better than other Chinese takeout spots. Only thing quality related that is questionable is the fried wontons that are already sitting on the table upon arrival. A little unhygienic. There is no indication that these are new or whether they have been sitting there from the last person sitting there. It's kind of like bar peanuts. Lo Mein is good but I like my food to be spicy and it always has a bit of a sweetness which I don't enjoy. The general tsos and kung pao chicken is very good, also not spicy If that's what you're looking for. The Chow mein is not a noodle dish here. It's your choice of protein with white sauce. Kind of bland. The chicken corn soup is actually chicken rice soup. I wouldn't order this again. Spring rolls are good except they are super greasy. Same with the Shanghai rolls which if you're wondering aren't lumpia they are spring rolls with shrimp. Egg rolls are a no go. read more

-The Experience While Dining In- The staff is polite and attentive. The old man tries his best, but if he is taking our order, he always gets it wrong. Four consecutive times in a row now... When the other gentleman takes our order, he is rather pushy. Speaks very good English though. The woman is by far the best, both attentive and had no problems getting us to-go boxes in a timely manner. The food is usually fresh but we have gotten some old noodles before. The wanton soup is piping hot and takes an ice cube to cool down. Iced water is given to you right away and is refilled regularly. If something is wrong, or if you don't like the food, they'll give you something else and apologize. -Take Out/Pick Up- Okay, this is the part of the review where I get upset and passionate so bear with me. Take out is a massive DISASTER compared to dining in. Your food is stale, cold, bland, and your containers are under-filled. They don't deliver to the Mandana Hill area, so it's always pick up. And the topper for me, as someone who hates fried rice: you might as well forget about it. If you request WHITE RICE as a substitute, you won't get what you want 90% of the time. Utensils, chopsticks, and napkins are absent unless you ask for them, but they do give you a lot of sauce so...cool I guess. TL;DR: Dine in is fantastic (5/5), Take Out is a catastrophe (1/10). read more

This place is open during the Covid-19 crisis. Carry out only and they meet you at the door. They are busy so plan 30 to 60 minutes for your order to be ready. The food was fresh and tasted great. I went during lunch and they were not doing the lunch specials so I had to order a regular entry. Dinner time is when the orders take the longest. When I showed at a dinner time there were 8 people at the door. Their food is a bit pricey but that is ok as the quality is good. I recommend. read more

Yelped this place on the way to home Waldorf, MD. Great value lunch one of the good sesame chicken. Also enjoyed completely fried woman stripes. Home another chance to come back in the future. read more

Years ago this was THE BEST Chinese restaurant/food in the area. My father physically went to the restaurant twice in advance to make and confirm reservations for our dinner on Christmas. We arrived to find there was NO dining, only take out. After waiting in line to place our order, we were told it would be another hour to get our food. So we walked out and went to another restaurant down the street. Wait time at the other restaurant was only 15 mins. Shame on you Hong Kong Ruby for deceiving the public that you could eat @ your restaurant. Will NEVER step foot in there again!!! read more

I'm only leaving one star because it won't let me leave no stars. My husband and I decided to try this place for takeout last week. I ordered chicken fried rice and my husband got orange chicken. My husband opened the orange chicken and it had a grayish color to it and smelled awful. It looked so bad that he didn't even eat it. I tried my chicken fried rice and it just tasted like someone had poured a salt shaker on it, all I could taste was salt, but the chicken in the rice had absolutely no flavor and was dry and overcooked. We will stick with our regular Chinese restaurant from now on, the food from this place was terrible! read more

Harrisburg's version of upscale Chinese food - it's definitely not sublower Manhattan style, but it's still yummy. Takeout is very quick, and the atmosphere for dine-in is nice too. The chefs are also very nice about making food the way you want it - for example, shrimp curry, light on the onions so I end up with TONS of green pepper in that delicious Chinese style curry sauce... I think I have some shrimp fried rice in my fridge - so with that - I'll brb :) read more

I like the food here but their chickens wing used to be better cooked they need to get then well done everything else is fine

good food..was sad to see them move to their new location few years ago as it is more out of the way. Never had a bad meal here and they will special order some dishes for you, such as steaming vs wok frying and its still tasty. edit 12/12. Now serving vietnamese Pho soup. Its ok, not as good as from a traditional vietnamese place but still made on the premises and not bad if you need a fixin for some Pho.. I must say I am surprised by my fellow yelpers 1 star review from november. I totally respect someones opinion but to say you had to throw it out it was so bad makes me suspect that it is a competitor. If she wants to say my review is fake because I am a friend or related to Hong Kong Ruby then maybe that review is from a competitor. I do not even know the owner of Hong Kong Ruby. I had chinese food in Philly, Jersey, NY and elsewhere and its all similiar. While I can understand this place not being someones favorite, to say the food is not edible takes any credibility away from that review. only complaint is that they skimp out on the soup if you eat in. you only get two wontons when you order a soup, two. thats it. every other place gives you at least 4-6. you even get more wontons when you do take out soup but if you eat in, you get screwed with skimpy soup. read more

Received a decent meal. Was sat quickly, but was not offered a drink instead they just started filling glasses with water. We had to ask for straws twice but he was quick to pester us for our order and to take things away. I had the Chicken and Shrimp Pho and it had a great flavor but the crab Rangoons are typically one of our faves were not good here. read more

My go-to for any of my Chinese food cravings! Especially a fan of their lo-mein and chicken & broccoli. They also have some pretty good steamed dumplings and I'd definitely recommend folks try their Shanghai Egg Rolls. So yummy!! read more

My whole family loves Hong Kong Ruby. And we tend to order different dishes. I order my entree different than the menu and they always accommodate. My wife and I ate at the restaurant occasionally before Covid, but we continue to order delivery on a regular basis. read more

I went for lunch. Price wise you can't go wrong. The lunch menu has at least 30 different specials/protein options all of which range between $5 - $6. All the lunch specials come with a spring roll, your choice of soup and rice (white or pork fried). So not too bad as far as pricing goes. However, before we could even taste the food we had some issues. My co-worker had a dirty cup....ie someone else's pink lipstick residue was on the cup and when they did finally bring the food....there was a hair in it. FAIL! We both ordered the General Tso chicken and I wasn't impressed. It lacked flavor and it was soft - I typically like Chinese food that's breaded to not be soggy. Lastly, not that it's really important, but our waiter had a hard time forming sentences in English, so all our interactions with her were based off one word questions and responses. Good Luck. I'm not going back. read more

This is the third time that they messed up our take out. 3 lunch dishes, all with white rice. Yet two out of the three had pork fried rice. My sister and I can't take the salt that goes with the pork fried rice, so half of our dishes were inedible. The sides were good, and so were the main dishes. The won ton soup was soggier than I prefer. My mom still ate it without complaint. Another issue to note; although not the biggest complaint I have, there were no fortune cookies or sauce packets in our take out bag. If you want to eat at Hong Kong Ruby, I suggest dining in. They are very polite and attentive. You get big portions, fresh food, and your order is always made correctly. If you absolutely need your order to be correct, do not choose take out. The service and the quality of food is never the same. read more

Ordered General Tso's chicken and some Pork lo mein. the dinners came with egg rolls, pork fried rice, egg roll and crab Rangoon. This place didn't answer their phone, so we drove there to order-they were indeed open. Crab Rangoon: good Fried rice: decent Lo mein: good general Tso's: flavorless Egg roll: odd tasting, a bit spicy which was weird. They could use a bit more seasoning in their food, especially in the dishes that are supposed to be spicy. All in all, this is likely one of the best places to get quasi-decent Americanized Chinese food. read more

Food was delicious. Ordered chicken fried rice, beef lo mein, and general tso chicken. Fried rice had a nice crunch. Beef in the lo mein was nice and tender, and not to oily. General tso's was the best I've ever had. This place is now our go to Chinese food place! read more

Prices jumped, quality still the same. Wait staff was horrible today(very slow). We never got a check and the complimentary fortune cookie, but they made up for it by giving me fortune rice. Meaning, near the end of my meal I spy a piece of paper in my rice, turns out to be a fortune. Don't they got to break the plastic pack, break the cookie to get at the fortune? Yet there it was at the bottom of a scoop of pork fried rice. The group I was with were all disappointed and after eating at HKR for years, we decided to find a new spot for Chinese food Friday. Frank's remark: they jumped the shark! read more

Ordered delivery and received hot food within 20 minutes even though the American man who spoke English (weird, but a big plus) said 40 minutes. I only lived down the road so makes sense. Ordered: fried dumplings, crab rangoons & chicken lo mein. All fairly decent. Thought lo mein was really good. Will definitely call again for delivery. read more

Don't pay first if you ever take out. Seems like they don't have to rush even when they know they screwed up. Not even an apology After an hour wait. To me worst customer service. What we ordered wasn't anything four stars as advertised. If you wonder why there isn't any Asian people eating in there....it didn't make the cut. read more

Wanted Chinese food and was kind of bored with the offerings around here so I turned to my friend, Yelp and was directed here. I called in the order for pickup and it was ready when I arrived. The man working was super friendly and the bag of food was pretty hot. When I got to my car he came running out so I opened my window and he said he realized they gave me chicken instead of beef. So he grabbed my food and ran back in and soon came out with another piping hot bag. Got home with the food. We ordered the House Special Fried Rice, Vegetable Lo Mein, and Beef with Garlic Sauce. The kids and hubby ate up the rice and noodles so I assume that means it was good. The rice and noodles were loaded with veggies and meat (in the rice) and it was a good color, not that bright yellow hue you often see in chinese take out joints. The beef was tender and not gristly and the flavor was great! It had a hint of spice but definitely not spicy. In fact it could have used more spice! But the flavor was great and it hit the spot. I'll definitely come again and try some other dishes. I keep seeing reviews for pho but I didn't see any on the menu, perhaps I am blind. I'd love to try that though! read more

Timely delivery, food as expected. Thank you! The beef and shrimp lomein were great as was the shrimp in lobster sauce. Delivery person was polite and on time. read more

I've eaten food from this restaurant about a handful of times, and the food has always been extremely delicious. In my opinion, it's one of the best Chinese restaurants in the city. However, my last experience wasn't so great which explains my rating. On Friday afternoon August 17, 2018 I walked inside of the restaurant and placed a takeout order. My kids and I had our own individual rices and I ordered the vegetable egg rolls. I went home to eat, and as usual the food was exquisite. After taking a few bites of my vegetable egg roll, I felt something hard against my teeth. I immediately spit the food out and found a small metal staple. I'm not sure how this ended up in my vegetable egg roll. I immediately threw the rest of the food away since I was unable to finish my meal due to skepticism of the quality of the remaining food. I started to call the restaurant, but since I was okay, I decided not to. I'm glad I was okay and that my children weren't one of the ones eating the affected egg roll. This could've ended a lot worse. E.g. (cut mouth or ingested staple) I'm writing this review to warn others to be careful when eating food from this place and to hopefully bring awareness to the staff so they could also be more careful in the future. After this unfortunate experience, I most likely won't be eating at this restaurant again. read more

Very quick service and the food was wonderful, the combo plate is a good deal, for less than 10 dollars I had a bowl of soup, the entree, pork fried rice, an egg roll and one crab Rangoon. It was exactly what we wanted, a sit down Chinese place. They actually were very busy too. read more

Pros: Nice location. Open 7 days a week. Cons: Food is hit or miss. Delivery could be faster. read more

Usually Chinese food is just so so or one of the walk up and point at the picture kind of places but this one is not. The wait staff were great and the food was really good. My kids who are picky as can be loved the egg rolls and the lo mein! Bonus points from me. Would definitely go back. read more

I am usually happy with their food. I love their shrimp fried rice and shrimp chow mein.

This was our first time trying this place & will be our last. We ordered takeout chicken & broccoli, chow mein, hot & sour soup. Pretty simple, standard fare & hard to mess up, but somehow they managed. The food wasn't worthy of 1 star. It was all odd tasting, greasy, the crunchy noodles were greasy & stale. The soup was too salty, mostly broth, simply terrible, and all at significantly higher price than anywhere else in the area. read more

I had the General Tso's lunch platter. Maybe I'm used to New York Chinese food...but this had an unusual plant taste to it. The chicken was chewy and not fully breaded...just unusual. The server didn't bring me my soda, and it was remarkably subpar for all the five star ratings. I much prefer Chef Wong's. Sorry! read more

Hong Kong Ruby is a casual Chinese restaurant on the outskirts of Harrisburg. It's a decent size, and they have a pretty standard Chinese menu. Everything I ordered was well-prepared and cooked...wonton/egg drop soup, happy family, and shrimp spring rolls. The service was fast, as well. A good option for solid Chinese food. read more
