Been coming here for years, staff are incredibly friendly and the food never disappoints. Always recommend the beef with mushroom, super umami and comforting. read more

Husband bought home take out, and had me try the chicken Mein and I loved it! We will be going back again to order more of their delicious food! read more

They are so quick and food is always good, love the dumplings and pork lo mein!! The pork fried rice is good too

Consistently good. Great service when I call. We have ordered a variety of dishes and all have good flavor. Portion size is also very good. We especially enjoy the beef and broccoli, sesame chicken, wonton soup, and shrimp Mei fun. We've tried other Chinese restaurants in Bethlehem and they're just not as good. read more

While watching the Winter Olympics hosted in Beijing, my boyfriend and I ordered Chinese take out from Ruby Cafe. We placed our order via telephone and it was ready for pick up within 15 minutes. Due to COVID, they do not allow customers in the restaurant so you pick up and pay for your order at the front door of the restaurant. We ordered the General Tso Chicken Platter and the Sweet and Sour Chicken Platter. The platters are served with fried rice and your choice of Wonton soup or an egg roll. The flavors were delicious and the portions were huge. We were able to have a full dinner and lunch the next day. read more

The food is excellent! They are only takeout, so the food is all I can judge the place for!

Just here to add to the great reviews that reeled me in. I tried this place for the first time since I'm running out of ideas at work for lunch. The chicken and mixed vegetables was loaded with flavor and the staff was very friendly . I plan to make this restaurant a more frequent place for lunch. read more

Yummy Chinese food, quick and hot. Family owned business with very nice staff. Can order online too.

Food -great!! Service -great! Price- great! Ambiance - don't know because we did take out. Charles Of all the Chinese food I've tried in Bethlehem. This one is the best. read more

Not as good as others say - not sure what I am missing here. Egg rolls are huge - would rather have a smaller one with more filling. Just tasted greasy. The Kung Pao Chicken lacked spice. Chicken and broccoli was ok - just basic though. Woman who helped me was very friendly and offered silverware along with extra soy and duck sauce. Have a better score because of her kindness. read more

This is Chinese Restaurant that a Friend Recommended. It is Take Out ONLY. Great Food. I will do Takeout there again Definitely. I would Highly Recommend this Takeout Chinese Restaurant read more

This place just has it all, super good service and really good food. We've tried many things from the menu and I often come back to the orange chicken or the fried rice , especially with chicken! read more

I was craving chinese food and decided to give this place a try. So happy I did because it's now become my go to spot. I honestly didn't know it was a Chinese food joint and passed by there a few times. Their food is delicious and reminds me of New York. I ordered pick up and the food was done within 15 minutes. Definitely give them a try, you will not be disappointed. read more

Now this is a place to get Chinese takeout. I used to always go to China Star on Linden St, but I was not happy with the quality of the food. Ruby Cafe has it down pat. Great food, and easy pickup right at their doorway! Parking right in their lot. Order is always perfect. Can't say how easy or hard it is to place the order on the phone, my wife has always done that. read more

The special combination platters (comes with pork fried rice and wonton soup or egg roll) are a great value. Tried the chicken and broccoli first and went back to try the moo goo gai pan the second time. Both had enough sauce and a good balance of meat to veggies. The wonton soup was flavorful both times as well. Each platter is a good portion - its two full meals for me. Overall can count on a very satisfying meal. I'm glad to have found this place for Chinese takeout. There is a barrier for COVID precautions for a no contact pick up. A small drawer to put in your payment and another drawer for the take out bag. I especially like that the staff uses a speaker so it's easy to hear them from outside. read more

If you're looking for an excellent, affordable, tasty Chinese takeout spot in Bethlehem, PA, this is the place. My boyfriend and I had a hankering for some Chinese one night and he told me that this is the place to go for Chinese in his area. He said that he had tried a lot of places, but always found that this was the best local spot, in his opinion. Now, I haven't tried the food at any other Chinese restaurants in Bethlehem, PA, but the food here was truly yummy, and for a really good price. We got the General Tso's chicken combination platter and the Kung Pao chicken combination platter. Both combination platters came with roast pork fried rice. We also got a small wonton soup on the side. The total price was about $25. I think that the food was not too expensive. The food was really good. The egg roll was pretty crunchy and flavorful. The sauces with both chicken dishes were just the right consistency. The General Tso's chicken was a tad on the sweet side, but certainly not as sweet as some other General Tso's chicken dishes that I have had at other Chinese restaurants. The roast pork fried rice was also good, and the wontons in the wonton soup had just the right firmness and chewiness. I would order from here again. read more

Tried Ruby Cafe this past weekend, got their imitation General Tso's chicken, along with some lo mein and fried rice. It was excellent. I'll definitely be back! read more

Generous servings of great food -- what more can you ask for? My lunch was 2x larger than at a competitor for the same price ($9), and the food was fresh and not too greasy. The service is quick & friendly too. They are takeout only, but I waited less than 10 minutes. 5/5, highly recommend! read more

We ordered take out from Ruby Cafe last night and it was delicious. I will probably never order from anywhere else in the Lehigh valley! We ordered: crab rangoons, beef lo mein, and two combo platters: general tso's chicken and sesame chicken which came with pork fried rice and wonton soup or an egg roll. Everything was delicious and flavorful without being overly greasy. The portions were insane and we probably have 2 more meals worth of food leftover. Try Ruby Cafe if you haven't yet!! read more

We were visiting the area for a concert and found this place on yelp with fairly decent reviews. It was a good choice for Chinese. The portion sizes and the presentation were good. I had the combo of General Tso with white rice and egg roll. It was freshly made and had a good flavor. It could have been a little more spicy, however. My husband had Chicken with Onions and Curry Sauce. He got the quart size with white rice. He said it was pretty good but he likes what he gets from a place near our home. The flavor was good, but he would have liked to have more white rice. Our friend had a pint of Vegetable Lo Men. She is kind of newbie with trying Chinese. She said it was good and the portion was good. She only ate about half of it. Over all this was a great choice for inexpensive and tasty Chinese. We would visit here again if we are ever in the area. read more

Ever since my favorite place for Chinese food changed ownership and the food was no longer made the same, I've tried several different places and haven't found any that I liked until I tried Ruby Cafe. You can order online, they got the order 100% right, the food was great, and place looked clean! I finally found my new favorite place for Chinese food! read more

*UPDATE* I just puked my brains out, ~6.5 hours after eating here. Just about positive it was from the food. Definitely will not be going back. I've eaten here a few times and it's been good in the past but this time not so much. I ordered the boneless spare rib platter with wonton soup. Wontons were clearly frozen and stiff to eat. The spare rib was flavorless- not convinced it was pork but was surely made from a frozen package. Girlfriend got chicken chow mein. I don't know what they gave her but it was not what she ordered. Google what chicken chow mein is supposed to look like and compare.. literally no noodles in the dish, lacking flavor and was visibly disgusting. She wasn't able to get past how gross it looked to eat it, and neither could I. Disappointed after having decent meals here 1 or 2 times in the past. Don't think I'll be going back read more

Ruby Cafe - ""Chicken" "Chow mein"".. doubtfully chicken and definitely not chow mein - Chinese Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

They are taking Covid precautions seriously which is nice to see. The sweet and sour chicken was very good as was the shrimp fried rice. Not necessarily better than a standard Chinese restaurant though. read more

All of the other Yelpers have this place pegged perfectly. 1. It's clean 2. The staff truly is friendly 3. You can customize and they don't bitch about it 4. Not nearly as greasy nor are things fried as hard as they can be at other places 5. You can actually see into the kitchen area so things are on the up and up 6. When they say 15 minutes it's always done in 15 minutes Solid takes on Sweet & Sour Chicken, Orange Chicken, Beef Broccoli plus any of the fried rice choices. I've got several Chinese spots that are closer but I'll drive across town for better especially when the food and service here are the real deal. read more

Tried Ruby's for the first time tonight and our entire family really liked it. We tried a bunch of things from sweet and sour chicken to orange chicken to fried rice and lo mein. Everything was EXCELLENT! Definitely will be going back. read more

I ordered Szechuan chicken. Normally this dish is spicy chicken with peppers. I was given a container of onions with a few pieces of chicken., no peppers at all. I called thinking I was given the wrong order. I was told this is how we make it and it's not our problem. The food lately has been going downhill. Looking for a new place. read more

The food quality has gone downhill the past year. Used to be the best quality in the area besides U&Tea, but now the chicken is subpar and everything is so oily and lacking flavor. read more

Came here because happycow recommend it to me. So I did after coming from vegan treats. I saw on their menu that they had vegan Chinese food here. so obviously I had to try it on my vacation. It was really good for lunch. I would recommend it. Just wish the portion on some of the orders were bigger for the price. read more

My wife and I have been frequenting here recently and I absolutely love their food especially their dumplings. I was having trouble finding a good Chinese food place in the area but this place is definitely my go to now. read more

This just became my new spot! Fresh ingredients and great prices! The pork fried rice is delicious!

Best chinese takeout around! The Buddhist delight is incredible. The brown sauce is rich and flavorful. Staff is very friendly and speak perfect English which is nice for communication purposes. I've never had a problem with my order ever. So glad they're finally open again since COVID. read more

Ruby Cafe is fast, tasty and inexpensive. They have great vegan/vegetarian options and they offer online ordering through their website. We have never been in to eat, only get take out but the space seems clean and staff is friendly. Love the cold sesame noodles and mock General Tsos chicken. We probably have take out from here once a month and it never disappoints! read more

The food there is really good! They are always pleasant when I go there and orders are always correct. Price is good. Been going there for years! read more

I used to go to Ruby Cafe all the time back in college. I miss it so much. I try to go back any time I can! My usual order is either house special Lo mein or general tso's chicken with garlic sauce. They are so accommodating and the owners are so nice! Portions are fulfilling and although they're small, top quality food. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience here. They are also ADA/wheelchair accessible as well, so definitely open to all patrons! 10/10 read more

I'm not a big fan of Chinese food. However I LOVE the food here. They have great vegan and vegetarian options. The food is always hot & fresh and the service is great. I also enjoy the fact that the food doesn't make me dehydrated for days like most Chinese food does. I highly recommend it. read more

This restaurant has wonderful food! Prices are great I highly recommend it. They also have very safe pickup. Too.

I have not found any better standard fare Chinese cuisine options in the Lehigh Valley. They do a very nice job with take-out, they're efficient & nice people to deal with. Glad to know about this place & I think it was the prior Yelp reviews that convinced us to try it. read more

I am not a Chinese food aficionado bit I'm giving this place 5 stars because there are so many bad places around. This place is clean, bright and has plenty of room to eat in. Plus, easy parking right out front. You get all the fast service and wide selection you love about American Chinese food without all the hassles of most local joints. read more

Ruby Cafe - Chinese Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

First time eating here and I must admit it's the best Chinese takeout food I've had since I've been in the area. All the other places either overcook the food, or put way too much MSG to the point it make one's gums bleed. The place is clean, staff is uniformed (which I didn't expect considering it's not a chain restaurant), and they even served me my food. I totally recommend this place, and will definitely come back; I'm so glad I found this place. read more

New favorite! Absolutely delicious food. My husband and I got all vegetarian menu items and everything was so good. The flavors were all spot on, the sauces were all different and nothing was too salty. Very impressed with Ruby Cafe, will be back soon! read more
