Ruby Chows has a special place in my heart. The food here is SUPERB. The ambiance is amazing. I love that most dishes are tapas style. I like to try several items on the menu at a time so this fits me perfectly. Drinks are always top notch. They never disappoint on anything and if they do they make sure to correct it in a timely manner. read more

Came here last night for a birthday dinner and was blown away by the quality of these dishes. We started off with some drinks, they have a great cocktail menu. I chose to go with the Shibuyai Crossing, which the waiter recommended and mentioned that it was similar to an Old Fashioned. For starters, we went with the Pow Pow Shrimp, Crispy Rolls, Wontons, and Roti Canai. We also put in orders for the Cacio e Pepe and Basil Chicken as entrees. Almost all the dishes came out simultaneously. Everything about the Pow Pow Shrimp was remarkable, from the way the shrimp was cooked to how well it absorbed the flavor. The Crispy Rolls were also incredible, presenting themselves with an appetizing crunch, along with unguent fillings. The Wontons were great as well, they were delicate but weren't falling apart, and made for a wonderful appetizer. However, the Roti Canai was in a different class altogether. We ordered a second portion to re-experience the Malaysian curry dipping sauce that was served with the Roti. There were little delicious pieces of potatoes and chicken in the dipping sauce. The two entrees were great as well, their take on the Cacio e Pepe was interesting, a sprinkling of chili oil on the classic Italian dish and was very well done. The Basil Chicken was good as well, I would've preferred something a bit more traditional with rice on the side, but that's just what I was craving at the time and not an objective evaluation of this dish. Overall, you cannot miss the Pow Pow Shrimp, Roti Canai, and the Cacio e Pepe - you should definitely try the other items on their menu as well! read more

Honestly this place is the epitome of style over substance. The atmosphere and decor of the place is on point but everything else was kind of a bust. The food was your average overpriced Americanized Chinese food (not authentic). It's a dim sum style place. The waitress was also very patronizing. Overall I wouldn't recommend unless you just want cute pictures for Instagram or socials, because the food's defiantly not worth it. read more

I live above this place so I grab food here all the time and it never disappoints. The staff is also such a great part of the experience - everyone is welcoming and friendly. Food is always super fast and the drinks are amazing. I've never had a bad time here. Such a good date spot or even just quick dinner after a workout on their patio. read more

What you need to know: Super insta-worthy spot, great service (ask for Kennedy!), great food, good drinks, and a little loud outside. Don't order the fried pork cutlet with the cacio e pepe, and get extra roti with the roti canai! Came here for a double date after seeing all the insta-hype, and wasn't disappointed - ironically all my pics got deleted for some reason, so I'll just have to go back to get more! Food: We tried so many things! First, we had the soft shell BLT bun - bun was light and fluffy, and the crab was seasoned well and still had a nice crunchy texture - I thought the bacon might be too overpowering for the crab but it blended together nicely in each bite. Next, we had the seared scallops and they just absolutely were cooked to perfection as they melted in your mouth - so damn good! Next was the pow pow shrimp, and these were seasoned so well, you could taste the shrimp and a little kick from the chili pepper. We also ordered the pork belly & grits, and the pork belly was so tender and delicious paired with those cheesy gooey grits - definitely a must try! We initially were skeptical, but glad we ended the dinner with this dish. The wontons were decent, but nothing too special unfortunately - just a solid wonton in chili/soy. By far our favorite dish was the roti canai - while the roti was a little oily, it's cooked too order and always came out hot - word to the wise, order two extra roti's with your dish, trust me, you'll need (and want) it! The curry with the roti canai was UNBELIEVABLY flavored. As someone who's been eating this dish for decades, I can confidently say this was one of the most well flavored and rich roti canai curries I've ever had in Atlanta - definitely a MUST order. Lastly, we ordered the cacio e pepe w/fried pork cutlet. If you order it with the fried pork cutlet, they make the cutlet into a bowl for the pasta which is kinda cool - but the cutlet itself isn't seasoned well, and was actually kinda dry and they got soggy and sloppy from all the pasta - definitely don't get that extra pork cutlet. The cacio e pepe itself was amazing! Extra cheesy, tender pasta, and those Szechuan peppercorns just give it an amazingly numbing kick that I didn't realize I was missing with this Italian dish. All in all, a solid meal that mostly tasted great, and left us all feeling pretty damn full. Drink: I had a good and bad drink, but everyone else had great experiences. My good drink was the Zona Rosa - perfectly balanced while not masking that amazing mezcal flavor. The bad was the Sailor Thief - I fear they may have overdid it on the bitters, especially since it already has that sour lemon in it which just overpowered it to the point that I couldn't finish it. The girls in our group both had the Soapberry and they LOVED it. Great sweet but still strong drink. Service: Ask for Kennedy! She was amazing! Always took care of us and made sure we had everything we needed - even when the bus persons accidentally took our roti canai curry away too quickly. Nothing but praise for our awesome waitress! Huge plus that they have contactless payments too! Ambience: The pictures you find on IG, TikTok, and here on Yelp don't do it justice. It's clear they put a lot of thought into crafting a visually appealing restaurant both inside and outdoors. Price: Ended up paying around $230 including tip. Considering it was four of us and we all had two drinks, I'd say this is fairly normal for Atlanta, and actually not that bad considering all the dishes we tried. Definitely worth it. Parking: There's a $3 valet in the garage around back - totally worth it, even if the valet guys are both a little overworked at times. All in all, this is an adorable spot, great for pics, good food, great drinks, and a just all around great time. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. I almost don't want to let the cat out of the bag because I don't want to have to fight for reservations, but they've earned it. The vibe and aesthetic is so welcoming and fun - inside is darker and romantic, but don't sleep on the outside, because with hanging lanterns, bright decor and private igloos for the winter, there's definite fun to be had. They've done such a great job integrating safety protocols seamlessly into the experience, so our girls dinner felt really laid back and worry-free (which can be difficult to find in these times). Beyond the vibe, the food is AMAZING. I'd recommend trying various things as each dish has a special element that will have you saying WOW. We tried the Szechuan green beans, Scallops, Vegetarian General Tso's Chicken (don't sleep on this one), Chicken Chunk, Shoyu Tomago (the perfectly cooked egg with the crispy rice was one of my favorite bites), Pork Kimchi Rice and Duck and Katsu buns. For dessert, the Pot Au Creme was a deliciously luxe finish to the meal. The wine list may seem limited, but we were pleased with both the "Grey" cab and the Patriarche Cremant Brut. Overall, they prove simplicity when done really, really well really, really works. Finally, special thanks to the super accommodating and friendly staff who were amazing. We had such a blast, and it was much needed. Can't wait to dine again with you all soon! read more

My boyfriend and I first visited because the 'Ruby Chow' sign reminded him of Seinfeld, but we now have a new favorites spot. "WOW" is how I would describe every dish served (I'm vegetarian, my boyfriend is not). The food is just... Stupid Good. They definitely take pride in this place. The atmosphere is nice, they have great Covid precautions in place, everything is prepared to Perfection, and the staff must all go through a super extensive interview/ training process because everyone is on the same page and here to serve you. Adalei was our server tonight for this lovey Valentine's Day meal and she has been GREAT! She's very knowledgeable and kind. Mark, the manager, has been super polite, when we called to make reservations the people we spoke to were friendly... EVERYONE IS FANTASTIC ! They're truly here to make our experience a good one and they've succeeded every time. If you're unsure about dining out here, let this be the sign you were looking for. You will NOT regret it. Matter fact, you'll be raving to all your friends. Enjoy! read more

The food here is so delicious! There's nothing of that on the menu that I don't like. Also the ambience is really cute :)

Ruby Chow's delivers an incredible dining experience; providing ambiance plus incredible cocktails and delectable eats. The vibe of the restaurant is sophisticated yet relaxed with the eclectically chic interior and the music definitely creating a mood. The food! Oh the food, I enjoyed everything I ordered and didn't even feel guilty about it. Given that its tapas styled everything is reasonably portioned and priced fairly. If I recall correctly, I believe to order everything on the menu it would cost somewhere to the tune of ~$300 (don't quote me on that, ask someone). Which is a steal. All and all I will definitely foresee this spot being a reoccurring favorite for me. read more

The drinks were beautiful and delicious! We enjoyed several of the small plates. Everything was delicious! Our server was so friendly, and I always appreciate when they share their favorite menu items! We sat inside, and it's absolutely beautiful. I would love to return and sit on the patio. read more

Chef Guy Wong's newest addition to his family of Atlanta restaurants is just fantastic! From the décor to the food, the dining experience at Ruby Chow's is among the very best that I've experienced in Atlanta. Bringing some of his delicious favorites, like the the Shoyu Tamago from Miso Izakaya, and introducing us to new and delicious curried decadence with the Roti Canai, this restaurant is my new favorite! **Most importantly at this time, Chef Wong is taking special safety care with his guests. We sat outside in a warm and interesting space to dine! I felt safe and well taken care of. Outstanding!** read more

Ruby Chow's - Asian Fusion Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

We went into This restaurant prepared to be underwhelmed because usually we don't like fancy Asian food places we like more understated spots. However I'm so glad we tried Ruby chows out! We were celebrating our anniversary and wanted something nicer that we could bring our kids to since our baby is too little to leave with a sitter. So we called and asked if kids were allowed, they enthusiastically said yes and meant it. We came in with bags of activities for our kids, a car seat stroller, so much and they gave us the whole patio. They accommodated our picky kids with delicious noodles without sauce and when I'm telling you those noodles were slapping. So good. We got the cheesy noodles and the Daan daan mein ones. They were incredible. The pow pow shrimp was another favorite (for the grown ups). My kids loved all the decorations too. It is definitely more of a classy place to go with adults, but they were so welcoming and kind with our family and the food was delicious! All the dishes were great we probably ordered about ten different items to share and I got a faux jito it was delicious and refreshing too. read more

Took my daughter back to college and as we were driving thru Atlanta she wanted good Asian food since she wouldn't have access for a few months to any good food. She googled "best Asian food in Atlanta" and Ruby's popped up. Boy does google know what's what. The most amazing food we'd ever tasted. We had a variety and savored every bite. Even though it says small plates the portion sizes were large. Our waitress was exceptional also. Kudos! We can't wait to go back. read more

AMAZING!! Definitely recommend for a great vibe and service! Our waiter less Sheri E was so sweet and accommodating and really went above and beyond. read more

Don't waste your time the food was sub par small portions. The bright spot is the service polite and accommodating

Bummer. Was looking forward to this place for a friend's birthday and I would straight up recommend NOT going until "supply chain issues" are fixed-- the restaurant should let customers know ahead of time that they're going to be out of 1/3 of the entire menu. I went Monday and they did not have any of their buns, no shaking beef, no vegan general tso's, no coconut (so no mango sticky rice or coconut soup), no salad (seriously?!). It was almost comical how each round was missing one or more items that my friends and I tried to order. They seemed really overwhelmed. They took 5/6 drink orders the first round, 3/6 peoples food the second round, etc. When asked at the end of the night, the manager said there were "supply chain issues" that caused them to be out of everything when I asked if we just came on a bad night. There was no mention of "come back and see us next week, next month, we'll be back up and running." Even if they were out of so many things, I think the table could have handled it better if we were made aware of it when we made our reservation or when we sat down. The food we ordered was fine- cooked well, but lacking flavor. The roti was the star of the dinner. read more

I love love love this restaurant so much. Ruby Chow's is a gem for good eats in the Ponce area. I dined by myself at the bar right when they opened and my bartender Ayana was very pleasant and attentive all while prepping the bar for the evening. Everything I ordered came out fresh and hot in record time. Very pleased with the kitchen staff. But the highlight of my evening here was the manager (I assume) saving the day by digging through the garbage can for my car key that had broken and fell off! Omg, I was so embarrassed but also extremely grateful and happy that this kind man dug through the trash to retrieve my key for me. I would have had a very stressful night without his and the other staff member's help. Thank you guys so much. Will be returning soon, with friends this time! read more

Ruby Chow's is awesome! Friendly staff and great food. Everything was great. Fun decor. It's our new fave in the area. We don't have any food pics because it was so tasty! read more

Ruby Chow's is located off Glen Iris near PCM. The attention to detail inside and out is impressive. One thing is certain, the staff here were amazing. They were accommodating, friendly, and skilled. Our server especially went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. Their menu consists of small and large plates. We ordered several small plates and a drink. I enjoyed the flakiness of the roti in the roti canai, the chicken chunk came with a rich "Asian 1000" sauce that I could drink straight up, and the crispness on the green beans was perfection. The soapberry drink I ordered tasted smooth and would be perfect for a summer day, but isn't for those looking to "turn up." I tried shishito peppers for the first time here and they were not bad, but I probably would not order again. Interestingly, all the desserts are gluten-free for those with dietary restrictions. We sat outside and enjoyed their setup with the igloos and tables in the covered alleyway. It was a great meal and the only reason it's a 4/5 is the price:quantity ratio, but this is an expensive-r area so it makes sense. Would highly recommend! read more

Monday's are a good night for a date night, so we figured we check out this cool, newish-looking spot. Our initial impression was that they were trying to hurry us through, as they had an OpenTable reservation for 9:15 and their kitchen closes at 9:30. They called us to ask if we could come earlier, but if the 9:15 slot is available, then it shouldn't be a problem for us to show up at 9:15. We also selected to be put outdoors--you should see how cute it looks out there--but the hostess asked if we were okay with sitting inside as they were soon to close. My boyfriend said it's okay, but it felt like we were burdening them. If it were an issue, they shouldn't put 9:15 and outdoor seating as options on OpenTable. The rest of the meal, every person we encountered let us know that we were close to their kitchen closing and let us know how much we missed the true experience. As for the good stuff, the food is amazing! The ambiance is perfect and feels like an LA-style restaurant with a cool vibe. We ordered the pork belly/grits, kimchi rice, Italian-Asian fusion noodles, short rib, meatballs, and green beans. Every dish was exceptional, and I would come back just for the rich tastes! If it weren't for the issues arising from OpenTable discrepancies, I would have given this place a 5 star review. It is definitely a place I will return to and a place I recommend people in the area try--just go any time after 9 pm! read more

Ms. Sheri was amazing ! She was such a great host .. she recommended the perfect drinks and food for my first time. I will definitely be back. She deserves a raise! Best service ever read more

Sheri was great!!! She lifted my spirit after a long day ! I love her energy and she deserve a raise

The food was decent (not amazing) and overpriced even for tapas. Was decorated well and the ambiance is fun. I can now say I've been, but will also say I have no plans to come back. Would not recommend it in general. read more

Yummy and such a cool place. Definitely recommend the basil chicken and anything with the puffy bread! The food is all served tapa style and comes out super fast so order one or two, relax with a drink, order a few more, etc. read more

We loved this place....just walking into the restaurant and looking around was a treat. We had one of the steamed bun sandwiches and it was delicious....we've never tasted anything like it. So we got another one! The plates are small so you can share...kinda like tapas but bigger. Everything was flavorful. We sat at the bar to eat, and we had the best bartender/server we'd ever had! He was awesome. Everything we tried was amazing...we look forward to going back! read more

Wonderful atmosphere and service. Walking into the door is like walking into a whole new world. Definitely try the egg. Wonderful experience. read more

Ruby Chow's is a gem located near Atlanta's popular Ponce City Market, and offers an elevated, sophisticated take on the classic NYC Chinese restaurant tradition. This place has been on my list since before COVID, so we decided to make it one of our first post-vaccine dining outings on a recent Friday evening. While their dreamy interior- a small but romantic space decked out in red, upholstered walls- is beautiful, we were excited to eat in their open air patio, located in a breezeway, whimsically decorated with Chinese lanterns. After being seated, we dug into their menu, humorously printed on paper placemats, just like a classic Chinese dining room. For drinks, I started with their Shinkoku Tonic, a sort of yuzu G&T, followed by their dark but velvety Sailor Thief, which was the stand-out by far. She had the Okinawa Sunrise, which was bright and light, followed by a glass of white wine, which we find an almost obligatory accompaniment to Chinese food. For dinner, Ruby Chow's focuses on a mainly tapas style menu, which we prefer. We ordered a little bit of everything from their vegetarian options. We shared a house salad with ginger-sesame dressing and their pickle assortment, a pleasing palate cleanser which I think is a must. We followed that up with an order of their stir-fried green beans, blistered shishitos, vegetarian General Tso's, and an exquisitely elegant shoyu tamago egg served over a crispy rice cake. Everything was delicious, with the egg and the shishitos being the stand-outs, and the green beans and General Tso's made even better late-night leftovers a couple days later. We are so glad to have made Ruby Chow's one of our first post-COVID dining experiences, and we look forward to coming back for cocktails and snacks soon. read more

The food is good, it's expensive. unless you like fat don't get anything that says pork belly. Great ambience but it ain't cheap. takes a lot of money to fill your belly. The roti and the shrimp were the best things of all. The drinks are OK but overpriced and I didn't get a buzz. But it's cute for a girls night. read more

This place is utterly disgusting. To try to imitate the Vietnamese cuisine with their mediocre food is embarrassing. Also, taken in that COVID has been rapidly spreading. They don't take precaution with wearing masks or sanitary measures and I seen someone cough all over someone's food without washing their hands. Wth I'm so pissed. I am so disappointed to think this was a good place to come and enjoy. The manager is horrible and rude in accommodating my table and didn't care. Bar tender Mell Mill or Mal was so damn rude and drinks horrible. The least they could do is hire a more experienced bartender lack thereof. read more

Just go. Asian fusion served hot, fresh to order? How can you expect more?! You can't go wrong with server Tyson! She recommends items to you after only a few visit that will be totally in line with your expectations! And spot on too! If I'm wrong I apologize now, but EVEN IF I AM WRONG your still going to going to enjoy yourself!!! read more

Incredible dinner - Sheri was fantastic and everything we ordered was perfect. We cannot wait to go back!

I absolutely loved it here! The food was amazing!! The blue crab buns & salt and pepper tofu were to DIE for. The ambiance was absolutely perfect and I loved how intimate it felt. From the minute you leave the host stand (Renee was such a doll!!), to the minute you sit down to eat (Danielle I miss you already!), everything was perfect. However, my husband was at the bar and came back feeling disgruntled due to how he was treated by the bartender. I believe her name was Mel. He spoke of her being short and eager to be finished interacting with him. But besides that, was wonderful! read more

Met up with a girlfriend for drinks after work on a Thursday evening. We made reservations but ended up sitting at the bar because it seemed inviting. Drinks: she ordered the GG Tea and I had the Empress. They were both light yet refreshing, so much so that we ordered a couple of rounds. The bartenders Colton and Malcolm were excellent!!! Colton did a great job of giving us the 'first timer' lay of the land and offered up some suggestions without us having to ask. Sweet! Food is tapas style, which was perfect for us since we have commitment issues and always like to sample various items on the menu. We ordered the brussel sprouts, basil chicken, fried oysters, picked veggies, and roti. Everything not only came out lightning quick, but it was SO GOOD. Seriously, everything! Between talking and savoring every bite, I didn't get a chance to snap a pic, but trust me on this one...GO! read more

A fantastic experience from start to finish. Great atmosphere, great food, great food, great cocktails, and great service. The perfect place for a fun small group outing. All the dishes we tried were excellent, but the Chicken Katsu Buns were especially good. read more

We dined at Ruby Chows on a Thursday evening. Without a reservation, we were able to snag a table on their patio. The cocktails were delicious. I had the G. G. Tea (gin, Thai basil, lime). The food is tapas-style small plates, so my husband and I ended up ordering a total of four items: the roti canai, soft shell BLT steamed buns, shaking beef, and basil chicken. The roti was perfectly chewy and the curry dipping sauce was so good, I could have eaten a bowl of it: rich curry gravy with chunks of slow braised chicken and bits of potato. The soft shell crab buns arrived at our table next, and while they were good, they weren't a standout. We really loved the shaking beef, and my only regret was we didn't order a side of rice to go with it and the basil chicken (which was also very good). We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu-but with reservations so we can enjoy the beautiful inside of the restaurant! Note: Valet parking in the garage next door was cheap and fast. read more

I made a reservation for Saturday night using open table and did not realize that I did not get a confirmation email, which means I did not have a confirmed reservation for Saturday night. I had a whole day planned for my first date and the end of the great day was to be spent at Ruby Chow's. When we arrived the hostess was really nice and was able to find a table for us very quickly along with the manager who sat us immediately and re-shuffled some things. Guy Wong and his team at Ruby Chow's definitely made sure my Saturday night went perfectly. We ordered miso soup which was awesome, chicken chunk, pork meatballs, wontons, shoyo tomago, my first mocktail, and they were all good! There was more food but tbh, I forgot all the goodness we enjoyed. This was my second time dining in and I'm glad I came back!! Thanks again! read more

Atmosphere and decor is 5 stars. Wait staff was pretty attentive but not very professional - 4 stars. And the food was pretty good -4 stars.

It's a cool place to grab a drink and share a couple dishes. read more

Finally made it to give this place a try after reading all the great reviews. We were not disappointed! First of all Sheri was the best server we have had anywhere in Atlanta. She was fun and friendly and made great recommendations for food and drinks. The Zona Rosa was a good mezcal drink and their Pings OF was a solid drink as well. Shoyu Tomago is a must have! (Pro Tip: Order one per person, you can thank me later.) Katsu Bao is really tasty as well. Pork kimchi rice, pow pow shrimp, brussels sprouts, grits with pork belly! Ended with the mango sticky rice and that was full of complex flavor and texture which was a perfect way to end the meal. Can't wait for the next trip back here. read more
