    I have been wanting to try this place for years, and I'm so glad I made it here! I'll go through each dish because we ate a LOT and some things were better than others. My Thai tea martini was phenomenal, one of the best cocktails I've had. Highlights for food were lobster fried rice, walnut shrimp, and the purple potato fries (can't remember the exact name). Both desserts yummy as well. Only things that we ate that were underwhelming were the soft boiled egg dish and the basil chicken. I'd skip those. Vibes are cool in here as well and service was good. I plan to be back!

    5/5 recommend!! Loved Ruby Chows. I enjoyed the dimly lit, speakeasy-esque vibe (the red velvet curtain upon entry took me by surprise, but I liked it)! The craft cocktails were delicious, and every plate that I got was at least a 4/5. The dumplings are a must-try and also, the scallops were cooked to perfection and flavorful..they were just a tinge too salty but I'm thinking that was a one-off mishap. There are 2 floors - the seating is a bit tight but cozy. It was a great atmosphere with delicious food.

    With my boyfriend on a Monday night, it was just the two of us and there was no wait. We ordered a couple of items and they came out pretty fast. I really like the fried oysters. They were really lightly breaded and the sauce was unique. They had a lot of unique cocktails. I ordered the one with gin and butterfly, and it was light and refreshing. The hamachi carpacio was pretty good. Roti canai was thicker than I was used to not as thin and crispy but still good. I think the crème brûlée Thai tea was really unique and flavorful.

    I loved this place. Such a vibe in the heart of OFW. Really great service. Welcoming feel. The food was incredible. It's like an Asian fusion tapas bar. Cocktails were great. Everything we had was wonderful. I didn't get any photos of the food tho because I was too busy scarfing it down. The green beans, the bao buns, the curry.. 10 out of mf 10. Definitely a good date night, night with friends, or if you're trying to show off the ATL food scene.

    Ok this was amazing! I've been needing to get here for so long, and I'm so happy we finally did. The cocktails were amazing, and all the food was perfect. Ruby Chow's is asian-fusion tapas style, so you should come prepared to share and try lots of different dishes! Highlights for me were the Pork Belly & Grits and Brussels Sprouts! Parking is valet for $5, but the lot was full on a Friday, so we just found street parking around the corner! You also could pay to park at ponce if you wanted! Uber would be ideal. The bar is gorgeous, but definitely get a reservation!! It's great for a drink and tapas, but you can't just walk up to get a spot at the bar!! It's highly popular!!

    Returned for another try. Sat at the bar as we had no reservations and it was packed. Service was fast and attentive. Food came out incredibly quickly. Katsu bao (4/5): good seasoning, fluffy bun, could use a bit more slaw/crunch Maitake mushroom (5/5): crispy and fried but not greasy, good serving size and well seasoned Scallops (3/5): three scallops that are over salted and nondescript sauce/mushrooms Squash soup: (4/5) corn soup was out. Super creamy and savory with some nice crunch from nuts and a tinge of acid. Shaking beef (3.5/5): it's literally just a deconstructed burger. The meat is nice but the rest of it is just straight up unseasoned raw lettuce, onion, and tomato. Mango sticky rice (5/5): probably the best thing I've had here so far. Rice is PROPERLY sticky, mango sorbet has a good balance of sweetness, the mochi bits are fun, and there's still actual mango. Massive serving size compared to all the other tapa sized plates here.

    We were a party of 8 people! The wait time was a bit long but they were able to accommodate our party in a small setting since all of the tables would normally seat about 2 people. I didn't take any pictures of the food because I was pretty hungry but we had the basil chicken, Roti Canai, Brussel sprouts, Szechuan green beans, & I believe the shaking beef! All the dishes were very good my favorites were the beef, green beans and the basil chicken! The Thai tea martini was also very good a different take on an espresso martini with a unique drink menu overall! One thing though is that the menu is kind of small bites not like a big dinner style. We did however fill up on all the dishes we ordered. Overall a great place to chill and catch up with friends not to mention the cute lights in the bar seating area as well!

    Noodles, Brussels sprouts, and house pickles were delicious. Katsu bun was fresh and tasty with a nice spicy sauce. Galbi bun wasn't great. It wasn't hot and was pretty bland even with the pickles on it. The decor here is 1920s Shanghai and also adorable!

    Cheyenne was amazing. She remembered my lychee martini customary order from last time. Shaking beef was great as always. Roti was amazing. The basil chicken was not good. Chicken thigh fried too hard.

    Came here for dinner with colleagues and I was visiting atlanta. It is asian style tapas and I was shocked with how good it was! We came at 5:30 on a tuesday wit a reservation and it was pretty empty, but slowly started to get busy during normal dinner time hours (6-7pm). The Katsu bao and the maitake mushrooms are a MUST get. Everything else was solid as well but that katsu was cooked to perfection. One thing I will say though is that even for tapas, the price is pretty expensive for the quantity you get. I was most disappointed in the shaking beef, being 18 dollars and getting about 10 pieces of beef that couldn't be more than 3-4oz all together. The service was great though and i liked the ambiance of the restaurant. I definitely would come again to try other dishes if I am ever back in atlanta, i just wish the prices were a little bit more affordable.

    If you like flavor!!! This is it. Great place for small plate savory dishes. I went here and I would rate it as one the top 3 restaurants I've been to as far as flavor. Customer service was good and a decent ambiance.

    We love Ruby Chow's! The food always delivers, especially the basil chicken! Service is always great as well. It's a nice, intimate restaurant great for date night, but we often bring our kids also. They currently have a butternut squash soup on the menu that's amazing! They add green onion and pumpkin seeds as toppings and it gave the soup the perfect crunch. My favorite cocktail here is the Thai tea martini.

    i was expecting more? this restaurant has always been on my hit list because i love asian food. then it was ranked "Atlantas best resturant" on Atlanta update instagram. The roti canai was great, but i also just really love indian food. the shaking beef was slightly cool, and the sushi was slightly warm? nothing was bad but no dish knocked my socks off if that makes sense. pow pow shrimp was also great and came out Hot! if you get anything, get a shrimp dish and the roti canai. for 2 people, i'd say 1 large plate and then 4-5 small plates to split. drinks were great tho! Ruby dragon if you like tequila. our waitress very awesome and very informative since it is tapas and hard to make decisions !! love the atmosphere too, could even be a great place just to come grab a couple of drinks before a night out in OFW/ Beltline. glad i went but not sure id come back.

    There is validated parking in the lot behind to the left of Ruby Chow's in the back. All completed through your phone.

I want to thank Dave for reaching out and taking the time to understand my concerns about my previous experience. That effort mattered. I recently had the chance to visit again on a Friday evening.

I tried a few new items along with some of my favorites, including the Korean BBQ Sticky Ribs (hopefully I got that right). This time, I left satisfied with the overall experience, and I felt it was only right to come back and share that update. One thing I will say, Friday evenings seem to be a better fit for me than a midday Saturday visit, especially with how busy the BeltLine can get.

I ordered the Shandong braised chicken, a dish presented with its protein resting atop a glossy sauce and a generous scattering... ten or more pieces of accompanying dough. In theory, this bread should serve as both sponge and companion, absorbing the depth of the braise and rounding the dish into comfort. In practice, it was profoundly compromised. The dough was unmistakably moldy, visibly, undeniably so. This alone is alarming in any dining establishment; it signals a breakdown not just in execution, but in fundamental kitchen vigilance. More troubling than the oversight itself was the response. When the issue was brought to the attention of the waiter, the reaction suggested familiarity rather than concern as though such an occurrence fell within the realm of the expected. There was no urgency, no visible embarrassment, no effort to meaningfully rectify the moment. The tone felt faintly dismissive. The effect on the room was immediate: the couple seated ahead of us, having witnessed the exchange, opted against ordering an entrée at all. That, in itself, speaks volumes. There were, however, redeeming elements. The spicy beef was well-prepared, delivering heat with balance rather than bravado. The diced potatoes were excellent, crisp at the edges, tender within, and seasoned with confidence. These dishes hinted at a kitchen capable of competence, even finesse, when fundamentals align. The atmosphere added an unexpected layer. Spa music drifted through the dining room an odd choice for a meal that aims to be bold and hearty, creating a tonal dissonance that never quite resolved. Service hovered in the realm of "acceptable," buoyed largely by polite refrains of "yes sir" and "no ma'am," though these formalities felt more like compensation for a lack of true attentiveness than genuine hospitality. I would not go so far as to discourage anyone from dining here. There is promise, and there are flashes of real quality. But I would offer this advice plainly and without drama: inspect your food carefully. Mold has no place on the plate, and until that reality is treated with the seriousness it demands, the experience remains compromised no matter how good the potatoes may be.

    I really wanted to like Nooduh, but the experience was mixed for me. The shrimp dumplings were…read moreexcellent and the bok choy was cooked perfectly, so there are definitely bright spots on the menu. The bartender and service were also great, so no complaints there. The problem was the main reason you come to a place like this: the noodles. My lo mein came out cold, completely lacking flavor, and the texture was mushy. Even when it came back hot, it still tasted like nothing, which is disappointing when noodles are supposed to be the star. On top of that, paying $16.99 for basic garlic vegetables feels unreasonable, especially when the food quality didn't match the price. Overall, service was solid, a couple dishes were good, but the food that should define the restaurant fell flat. With the price point being what it is, I'm not sure I'd rush back.
