Love the food here! Have eaten here since they opened. Tried many if their dishes and have enjoyed each and every one of them. The mango chicken which is not orange chicken is delicious. The bang bang chicken is my favorite and bang bang does not mean hot and spicy. They are clean and always ready to help with a smile. Will continue to eat here at least twice a month. read more

Food is ok! Service is TERRIBLE! They should try their costumers better. Ramen was sold out and the lady told me: " we are out, NEXT " This was our 2nd and last time eating there! Our 1st experience was similar but we decided to try again and it was worse! read more

When it comes to food court Chinese food, Ruby Thai does it well. I came on a Thursday afternoon and got a plate with two meats and subbed the rice/noodles for green beans. My order was just under $13. Great food, nice people, quick service. You can't go wrong. read more

This place looks like the food is very flavorful. Unfortunately it was all tasteless.l also do not appreciate nor being able to get a cup of water when spending 30 bux for lunch. We will not return. read more

I love ramen. The soup here is excellent especially for the price. $13.99. Broth is very tasty and meat is tender and juicy. Service is fast and helpful. If you need something tasty and filling on the run, this is definitely a go to. read more

Ruby Thai Kitchen - Pork belly ramen - Thai Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

This place is exactly what you would think it is, mall food. It is decent, but not very tasty or great at all. I've tried the chicken & it is okay. I've tried the soup and it's okay. I've tried the rice and the noodles. It's all just okay. Service is quick and not always friendly. Just another Asian food court spot in the mall. read more

Food (various chicken items) was only so-so. Service was excellent with timely delivery via Door Dash.

Wanted to try this place out after doing some deliveries for it and got the bang bang chicken with fried rice and an egg roll and the tonkatsu ramen with pork. Everything's ready like a buffet except the ramen which took about 7 mins to prepare. The egg roll was ok but mainly just greasy so not really worth getting again. The fried rice was nice and had plenty of flavor but the rice was almost too cooked and close to being mushy. The bang bang chicken was amazing and so sweet and juicy. Once my ramen was ready it looked so pretty I almost didn't wanna eat it. The broth was really good and not too salty. The pork was tender, the onion crisps were a nice crunch, the egg was over cooked since it wasn't a soft boiled egg, and the noodles had a nice chew to them. Definitely would get the chicken or the ramen again by far really good for mall food. read more

The place has a lot of variety of choices to pick from. There fried food and also non fried dishes. They will give you samples for a taste before you buy. They will cook fresh food every time. Any request for different dish, such pad Thai. They will cook it fresh inside the kitchen. I tasted all. And they are very well prepared and shockingly not greasy. Honey crisp chicken is really crispy and sweet mango is to die for. Most people like Mongolian chin and the bang bang chicken. Shrimp is salted lightly and green beans is so good. For spicy dish, I recommend Thai Mongolian chicken (medium spicy) or Thai sweet chili chicken (spicy) or even if you want Thai curry chicken. They will cook fresh inside per request. Bottom line, this place providing quick bite and also array quality fresh cook food read more

I nearly gave it a five! The negative review is perplexing. Yes, I consider this more American Chinese than Thai, but it is pretty darn good! I wasn't going to eat at the mall, but I tried a sample of the mango chicken, and I knew where my next meal was coming from! I came back and ordered the mango chicken and the Mongolian chicken. It came with rice, an egg roll, and a Thai iced tea for less than $10. It was tender, flavorful and not greasy. The Mongolian had a nice kick to it, and the mango had just the right sweetness to it. The chicken was juicy and the egg roll was a bit soft, but decent. Friendly service, low cost, quick transaction, great flavor. A definite food court gem! read more

This place has become a sample in our midweek dinners. We've been here so many times that the ladies behind the counter recognize us when we walk in. They offer very friendly and fast service. The free samples pulled us in and we stayed for the great flavor. I love the Mongolian chicken and steamed vegetables. Whenever the kids say that they want to eat at the mall, I know this is where they want to go. read more

It's just shopping mall food court quality food. It won't make you sick, that's just the reality of the quality.

I couldn't be more shocked and annoyed by this place. As an Asian I'm always looking to try new Asian places. I went and asked for a bubble tea. The cup was 3/4 filled with ice and there was literally less than 10 tapioca pearls. So few you couldn't see them in the cup. When I asked if they were there she very rudely told me to look and see. It lasted all of 3 secs because there were barely any bubbles and maybe 10 oz of liquid. I regret keeping the drink and not choosing to simply say I wouldn't take it. Don't waste your time read more

Chinese food. Plain and simple. Just because you call it mango chicken, does change it from being sesame chicken. Bang bang anything should have a kick to it. In this case I was given Bourbon chicken called bang bang. There was no "bang" to it. I was so excited that a Thai place had popped up closer to home, but it was just another mall Chinese place. Please add more Thai items to the lineup. read more

They are racist and unprofessional in here. I asked for a Thai iced tea and they lied and said there was no more when I was standing right in front of the pitcher. They just didn't feel like serving anymore bc it was close to closing. read more

Very rude worker. I was in such shock I didn't even look at the women's name tag (if there was one) before walking off. I walked up, the lady asked "what do you want?" I said "a Thai tea please". She rushed off before I could say anything else towards the cash register where they make the teas. I walked over and saw that she had already put black boba pearls in the cup (which I don't like) and I said "can I please have the mango poppers instead of those?" She turned around and gave me a complete eye roll and stared at me for a couple of seconds like I was an idiot. While she was dumping the boba into the trash, I noticed on the menu that they also had passion fruit tea, which I thought might go better with the mango poppers so I asked if I could please have that instead of Thai tea. She hadn't poured any tea yet at this point. She replied " You asked for Thai Tea", I said " yes but since you haven't made it yet and I haven't paid yet, could I change my order to passion fruit tea" she said "No we're out, I asked you in the beginning if you want Thai tea or Passion fruit." I said "No. You didn't. You asked what I wanted and rushed off. Why would you have asked if I wanted Passion Fruit if you're out of it?". She realized she was caught in a lie and proceeded to yell at me at the top of her lungs in front of customers (who walked away without ordering) and pointing her finger at me, saying that she will not accept my rude behavior in "her" store. She then repeated "this is MY store", I walked away. I've been there before, never have seen her. I like the food and tea when I've been there in the past but it's not worth it, I definitely won't be back. If your craving boba go to JJ's tea house downtown instead, or anywhere else. read more

food tasted amazing ! hreat portions and the people are super nice if you're unsure of what you want they will let you sample the food so you can be sure read more

My stomach started to ache after I tried it. You'd better go to Sacura Japan next to it. Good place.

Tried this place for the first time today, and I had the Mongolian chicken and the Bangbang chicken with the lo mein noodles. I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed all three of those items. The noodles were especially flavorful and Mongolian chicken had a nice kick to it. I also had the eggroll which was OK but the Yum Yum sauce significantly improved its flavor. I also saw that they do Ramen bowls here and I look forward to trying those the next time I'm by. read more

For "fast food thai", its really yummy. The employees are really nice and the area is clean.

Like most mall Asian fast food, it seems to be a hodge podge of Asian dishes, but I won't hold that against them. They serve a rather tasty ramen, which does have a bit of a wait, almost 10 min, since it's made to order. is it authentic Japanese? Hard to say... the Japanese place two spots down only serves teriyaki and California rolls so can't get it there. Service is friendly, and it's good to see some different options. I would order it again. Generous amount and very filling for "soup" read more

My wife and I went to the place a few times before. The food was good for the price and the customer service was decent. The other day that all changed when my wife and I went there when they just opened. Unfortunately, they did not have the chicken we wanted ready. They stated the chicken will be ready in 5 minutes. We waited and about 15 minutes later the chicken was ready. After waiting about 15 minutes finally we were next in line to pay. The customer ahead of us paid and then my wife and I stepped up to the register. Without saying a thing the lady at the register walked away to do something in clear visual sight completely ignoring my wife and I. So I waited for about 3 more minutes and ask the lady if we could please pay. Keep in mind she was totally aware of the situation of us having already waited 15 minutes. She was very rude and suggested that she will be back when she was ready to come back. At that point, I told my wife we're done here and we walked away without our food. My wife and I walk down to another food vendor and the lady yelled across the food court "you no more come back here!" Real classy and I believe she was the manager. Terrible customer service and to be honest their food is way too sweet. read more
