Good food. With Pleasant staff. I've gotten dinner to go many times and it's always satisfying.

Got food poisoning from the shrimp Lo-mein, not ordering food from hear again!! Would give zero stars but the star rating wouldn't allow it! Very disappointed! I also can't give any to the service since the food got two people sick last night, my coworker and I shared the dish and we both got sick! read more

Ordered thru delivery using door dash. The food was lacking in flavor. I got the chicken Lo mein and vegetable fried rice. Was not impressed. read more

Obsessed. I order for delivery and it is worth every penny. LOVE when they have specials and promotions but I order and wait regardless. So yummy. Favorite place to order from, i wish i lived near by. Go eat! You're welcome. read more

Well, here I am again. Actually, I've been here 4 times this week. I'd get my usual and didn't want to provide you with the boring details. Today, I'm writing a review because I never had Hunan Beef. The thought of getting out of my lane was amusing so I asked if they would make me the dish without any spice. I brought it to my car and was happy to smell that distinctive aroma where everyone asks, "What is that dish?" I am proud to say that I had that dish sitting shotgun. When I got to work and opened it up, I saw these tiny rabbit like droppings. Surely this wouldn't be right on top and I'm sure they don't have a pet bunny hopping around. I have nerves of steel and tried one. It's definitely a black bean, but what kind? In runs Google. They are fermented black beans! I love this family run business. The guy that sees me almost everyday needs to stop calling me ma'am. At the same time, I need to stop calling him sir. Back to the Hunan Beef. Very good. I'll go back and ask for a little spice. I'm that kind of risky. read more

An amazing family owned restaurant with extremely kind and patient staff. The prices are reasonable and the food is tasty. Obviously the earlier you go in the day, the better the food will be. That's true with any kind of restaurant of this nature. Overall, it's become a personal favorite and I'm a sucker for the fried rice. read more

How do you serve yellow rice as Chinese! No flavor with what I ordered! Never again will I order from this restaurant. read more

Great little local neighborhood spot. The portions are very generous and the food is as consistently good as most Chinese take out spots. I'm not harsh on these places, because most of their food is mass produced, flash frozen, and then fried onsite. So....the only factors that individualize a spot is how "freshly" made these items are, portion sizes, cleanliness, and service. read more

This is definitely my wife and I's go to spot for authentic Chinese food in Broward! Great service. They are always fast.

Needed somewhere quick to eat that wasn't exactly fast food and decided to give this place a try. It is located in a strip mall so there is plenty of parking. If you are trying to find it, it's the small place next to Autozone. As previously stated, the place is small, but there are 2 tables available if you decide to eat there. The menu is on the wall which makes it easier to just walk up and look for what you want. The prices are reasonable. I ordered chicken egg foo young which comes with gravy. The gravy didn't really have a taste but the egg foo young was good. read more

I'd say Ruby Chen's is a 2.5 star chinese strip mall restaurant. Mediocre food but very friendly staff, and a clean kitchen. I had egg drop soup (2.5/5)- too eggy Sesame chicken w white rice- 2/5 Egg roll (3/5) Wouldnt go here again unless I couldnt find any other chinese place. I would say if you want strip mall chinese, choose this place over others because it was CLEAN and FRIENDLY read more

Want food poisoning go here I did the night before a cruise. So fun throwing up General Tso's chicken all night to the point my throat was raw. Then asked for a refund and was told no. I was just passing through on a road trip carry out for the hotel. Funny the desk clerk at the hotel told me she has heard of many others getting sick from this place. Thank me in advance for the warning not a way to spend my first 3 days on a cruise ship. read more

I don't know why I've never tried this place. Very decent, inexpensive, Chinese food. Food was ready fast and still piping hot when I get home. Everything we ordered was pretty good. We got a beef and broccoli combo, General Tso's combo, chicken lo mein and wonton soup. One negative comment is that the fried rice is more Spanish style. Easily fixed with more soy sauce but not ideal. Overall a good option for something tasty and convenient. read more

Chopsticks, dumpling sauce, desperate housewives. I just shared with you a little taste of how the kids refer to my "Sunday Funday." My sister Fran and I decided to have a lazy sibling day. She has kind of a fun but bitter personality when drinking Chardonnay over the weekend. So I recommended she gets something with sweet-and-sour sauce TEHE . Okayyyy. Now that's enough of how this southern bell's days is going...Let's talk food... I ordered a delicious pork fried rice meal. Julio, my nutritionist, if you're reading this, please stop here. It was delicious. I had every last bite. I even splurged and ordered a jumbo fried rice. My sister just ordered egg drop soup (because she's one of those types of people to drink with) but she said it was delicious. XOXO Sunday FUNday Jan read more

I just moved into the neighborhood and was excited to try the new spot. I got the general tso's chicken lunch platter with wonton soup. The rice was bland and you couldn't even see the pork in it it was so thin. The chicken flavor was not general tso's. And the wonton soup was bland too. It's easy to get fooled because so many people go there but I guess these people have never had good Chinese. A lot of Mexicans go there. Mexicans usually eat bland rice. The reviews are misleading. read more

The food wasn't very good. It was sorta tasteless. I ordered boneless pork ribs a and steak with mixed vegetables.

the worst chinese food i have ever had in my life !! don't waste your money La peor comida China que he probado en mi vida !!! No boten su dinero :( read more

Since we have moved to the area (In June) We've ordered from here numerous times. Overall, this is a pretty good place. The prices are a little high. Typically I order the General Tso entree platter, which includes rice and an egg roll. I pay a $3 upcharge to substitute rice for plain lomein. The lomein tends to be a little heavy on the garlic, but still good. The General Tso is usually good, except for a few times it has been a little soggy. Egg rolls are great. The streamed dumplings are good too, although not everyone likes them bc the dough around the dumpling is really thick, but that's why I love them haha. My favorite part about this place is the customer service. The boy who delivers and answers the phones is so kind and has just a great energy! He makes the experience a fun one every time. I'll remember to post pics the next time I order :) read more

This take out Chinese is located at a strip mall. I had low expectations because I only ordered because I didnt know of any good Chinese take-out places here in FLL because I just moved here. Well I cannot speak for the fried rice, but my daughter said it was good. I ordered the Seafood Delight and was very surprised that the number of shrimp and other seafood was pretty heavy. I did't have a Larry David/George Costanza experience. The dish is enough for two. Thumbs up! read more

Ordered dinner Saturday evening and the food was ready in 10 minutes, hot and delicious and great customer service. We'll order here again soon read more

The food is okay and the price is reasonable. But the front of the restaurant with about 4 tables is kind of untidy and messy.

Good classic Chinese takeout! Honestly surprised by this place, as I initially judged it on its looks and location. They even let me use my own containers. I gave them my clean containers, and they happily packaged my order in them. read more

If you want to get legally robbed with the worst food in the world please eat here. The rice is plain yellow rice not even chinese rice and has no taste worst experience ever read more

I ordered the pork fried rice quarter size with extra egg was $6.95 & then I got the lunch special sweet n sour chicken w fried rice and wonton soup for $6.95. The quart fried rice was def better then the lunch special. Would I come here again ? Yes just because is not bad but also this is the only Chinese place by my house , fries were over priced at 3.50 whatever , it was an OK MEAL read more

(Dined 12/22/13 SU @ 5:00pm): Sometimes going ghetto isn't a good thing. I was starving and initially wanted to go to a local sports bar for some brews and NFL games, but that was packed to the rafters, so Chinese sounded good and I found myself at Ruby Chen's Restaurant located steps away in the same Southland Shopping Center. It smelled good when I entered, but that's where the niceties ended. Here how the meal went: Sweet & Sour Chicken, Fried Rice, and Vegetable Eggroll Combo ($8.25) - I was starving so I ordered the most generic - and safe - Chinese dish I could find that looked like a deal. All the menu pictures were faded out, but seriously what was there to worry about!? First off, the Styrofoam container this came in was filled to the brim and the sweet and sour sauce was served on the side in a plastic container. Once I cracked open the lid some chicken pieces tumbled out; there were a ton of them! However, there were no green peppers and sliced onions mixed in as expected, and frankly, the batter was overcooked and dry. Grab a piece and drown it in the sauce to soften it up. The fried rice was forgettable and barely had any other ingredients mixed with it; I think I found flecks of pork in there. I liked the eggroll as it was huge, thick, and filled with a ton of vegges. Too bad some of this didn't make it into the fried rice. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Fried (Pork) Dumplings - 8 pieces ($6.50) - These were big in size and were several bites worth of munching each. The pork was rather flavorless but freshly cooked as steam went up your nose after each bite. The wrapping was hard on the edges and chewy elsewhere, so the unevenness was quite unappealing. The dipping sauce was served on the side so grab a dumpling and dunk all you want - I did! http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=SJjTBMA0gZrgwvTyQE9hzA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Chek Orange Pineapple Soda ($1.00) - I'd never seen this brand before so I had to try it. It honestly tasted like a Fanta so I was good with it. The brand could've at least spelled its name correctly. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ZKL7MrbkCRyv6mJpja7jZQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Service - I was the only customer at the time so I got undivded attention from the kind and friendly woman behind the counter. The wait time for my food was about ten minutes as I heard and smelled it being cooked in the kitchen. There was no wait service so you got called up to pick up your food at the same counter. Pretty hands off. Parking (free) - Located in an outdoor strip mall with many other businesses big and small, mostly notably Winn-Dixie, Wendy's, and Dunkin' Donuts, there was a ton of available spots. Atmosphere, décor, ambience - Ghetto best described this place with its four tables and accompanying chairs, dingy walls with a few things hung on them, an order counter with visual menus above it and a more extensive printed menu on it, and a bird's eye view of the kitchen behind the counter only covered by a drape. Natural lighting came through the windowed front walls, but at this time of day it was all about the bright fluorescent electric lighting inside. There were no TVs or background music played. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=xD3gqQDTZunl8SKtUf4p-A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Attire - Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. Overall, Ruby Chen's Restaurant was sustenance at best and did the job of filling my belly (I can report I experienced no ill-affects). But I would definitely not return the next time I'm in the area. Other than the kind woman, I couldn't find much redeeming qualities. It served its purpose in the community for food diversity, but that was it. However, many diners came in while I waited and ate my food there so obviously they had a niche customer base. I found decent value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (total bill was around $16.00 before tip), but at least the serving sizes were huge. And, although they accepted credit cards, not mine of choice...AMEX! read more

Little neighborhood spot for Chinese take away. They currently aren't doing delivery unless through a third party like Uber. The food is well priced and decent. They are very friendly and always pleasant. They seemed to have taken all the necessary precautions for COVID. I suggest the chicken wings and gyoza. The bourbon chicken is always good. read more

Nasty. My sweet and sour chicken is burnt to a crisp. I try and cut it and pieces go flying because it's sooo overcooked. My husbands broccoli beef isn't even eatable. The beef is so tough he can't even cut it. Yikes. Will not return read more

Ruby Chen's Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

This restaurant is located at the end of a strip mall that was close to the Best Western that we were staying at. There were about 3-4 tables so most people probably get take out which is what we did. After looking at the menu, we decided to get the large shrimp lo mein, sweet and sour pork (which came with white rice and sauce separate), and fried rice. The food was prepared within 10 minutes and we took it back to the hotel to eat. It was less than $20 and too much food for 2 people. The sweet and sour pork wasn't as I expected as ordered back home. It was battered and fried pork pieces that you dip in the sauce. The low mein came with decent amount of shrimp but wish there were veggies. The large would be enough to feed 2 people. Given the amount of food, we could have eaten full for about $15. The noodles were a bit greasy. Food ok if you are looking for cheap, fast, and fried Chinese food. read more

Great service. Very fresh food and not greasy like so many other Chinese places. It is not close to me, but I still try to get there as often as possible. And I refer it to friends read more

The rice was dry and the food is made in what seems a rushed fashion. The ingredients they use are cheap.

I really don't expect much at Chinese carry outs but this place is particularly bad zero flavor and expensive. Lunch special is 9 bucks! Got the lo mein and the big offer is a side of rice and drink, who wants lo mein and rice on the same plate? Im surprised by the good reviews but again south florida hasn't a clue about good asian food. I wont be returning. read more

A hidden ruby. Forgive me, but it's true. Tucked in a down-market strip mall between a Beall's Outlet and a Boost Mobile store, this place hits you with a great smell from the parking lot. A small, takeout-oriented restaurant with a couple small tables, staffed by a very friendly and efficient woman at the counter. I think Chinese restaurants are about the only business where deals are made on trust, I called and ordered dinner for 4 and wasn't asked for a phone number or a credit card number. You can see all the way back into the kitchen, which is nice. That way you can see everything being made when you order, rather than wondering if it's being reheated. The food was great, some of the best carryout I've had, certainly the best in Florida. A very good sweet and sour pork, which is usually inedible to my taste, but the batter was pretty much perfect: not too thick, not too thin. The General Tso's was also tasty, with the right mix of spice. Pan-fried dumplings were great: not soggy or underfilled, with a really nice, gingery sauce to accompany them. For the last few years, I had avoided Chinese food because of the inevitable Chinese restaurant syndrome (whether it's salt, or MSG, or who knows). I am thrilled to say that I had no problems read more

The greatest customer service and the food is awesome the only Chinese place I know of that has real eggrolls and not that mushy stuff. Thank you so much read more

Yummy Delicious. I ordered the General Tso Chicken lunch combination. I went in to place my order. Only waited a short time and was surprised at how good it tasted and it conveniently located in my office. Would recommended you giving them a try. read more

I was staying at the holiday inn express for some work travel when I found Rubys. The only thing disappointing is that I flew the next morning and could not finish this delicious meal. For Chinese food, I keep it simple and almost always order sesame chicken or orange chicken. Whichever I ordered was awesome and the portions were huge. The staff was great and very nice. They had a little bit of seating but I took my meal back to the hotel so I could relax. Definitely returning here next time I stay by Ft Lauderdale Airport! read more

Classic New York style Chinese take-out. Dingy location but it has been in the neighborhood for at least 2 decades. You probably don't want to eat inside but they do have a few tables. Call ahead...wait 10 minutes...pick up food....relax in front of TV. Tastes like what you would expect from Chinese take out. read more

Good location and fresh food! I love this place!!! It's is the best authentic Chinese restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, all my Chinese friends highly recommend this restaurant. My favorite dish is beef Lo Mein read more

Want some greasy NYC style Chinese? Well, this is your place! I love the Shrimp Egg Foo Young! This Chinese food is much better than most in the area. Who doesn't some good Chinese once in awhile?

A few notches above the rest. Egg rolls were above average. Soups were average. Felt like I needed to add soy sauce to the special fried rice which was nice for a change. Friendly owners. Will proabaly be my new to go place for Chinese food. read more
