    They really stepped it up a notch at Ruby Thai Kitchen inside the food court at Oakridge Mall in South San Jose. Cashiers are friendly. I only remember the place as a takeout foods fast foods. They actually have Beef Rib Bone Noodle Soup $17.59 and Mango Coconut Pudding $5.00 here. I had a spicy bowl and the beef rib bone was huge! Meat was softer and more tender than crockpot style meats. It may taste a bit bland, but ok. Dip it into the hoisin chili sauce and sprinkle the lime juice. This one meat can feed 2-3 people. I can only finish 1/3 of it and was very full. Mifun noodles were good. Decent for food court selections. Soup wasn't too salty. Vegetables were plentiful. Honestly, I didn't expect to eat a large beef rib bone today, but wow, it's huge! Mango coconut pudding was on the watery and softer texture side, but delicious to drink. Staffs were nice people. It's good to see improvements here. I would try other noodle soups if convenient. It's not my regular spot or preference for eating out, but for food court quality, their foods don't taste bad here. If you're looking for huge portions in one order to feed a few people, they definitely have huge portions for noodle soups. It's hard to judge a familiar spot by the cover. My lunch was decent, so maybe 3.6-3.7 stars for review? I'll leave a 3 for now, but noodle soups are worth exploring. It still lacks standard good restaurant quality in a way, but no complaints. Overall, I'm satisfied for food court vibes.

    Combo 2 (Lomein, Fried Rice, Grilled BBQ Chicken, Bang-Bang Chicken)
    Amy L.

    Wanted to stop by the mall food court because we were hungry. Got the Combo 2 with lo mein, fried rice, grilled chicken and bang bang chicken. As a person who's not a fan of Panda Express, I wasn't expecting much from a place that pretty much operates like a Panda Express but I was pretty impressed. The 2 chicken entrees we chose were not dry at all. The grilled chicken was my favorite, tasted good and moist. The bang bang chicken is a fried chicken with sauce and I typically expect those to be dry on the inside but nope! That one was perfectly juicy as well! I might have gotten lucky with a fresh batch but I was very impressed. Nothing to note about the fried rice and noodles. They were both ok. If I was ever hungry at the mall again, I would come back for the grilled chicken again

    Won ton soup
    Dino D.

    01/22/26 stopped by to try something new. Glad I did. We ordered the beef noodle soup and a won ton noodle soup. Both of them very good. The price to portion was good. Staff very nice. Cooking stations looked clean. One thing I like about ordering soups at a food court restaurant is soups are made to order and are fresh. You get it hot. Better than food sitting in containers under a heat lamp or over hot water. The dining area is maintained by the mall. Depending on when you come it can be very busy. I would recommend this place.

    My brother and I have been going here forever. The food is always 100%. The service is has always been intentive. I love their noodles and their chicken.

    Look at that and try to tell me that doesn't look f***ing mouthwatering.

    Why the hell does this place have 3 stars right now? That's ridiculous. I was there the other day and they practically saved my life. I'm health conscious and that whole food court is effed for people like me----except for Ruby Thai Kitchen! While the Apple Store system was down and I had a choice to either sit in two hours of traffic going back to Santa Cruz or wait and get some food, I walk by, and the restaurant next to Ruby tries to entice me with a sample of some meat. I said I am a vegan and asked if they had anything with tofu. The man at Ruby said "we have tofu" and pointed to not just one, not just two, not even just three, but a whole bunch of vegan options. I ended up going with a soup, which was very impressive for what was technically fast food. The tofu was divine. Honestly it was surprising. I also enjoyed the fried plantains. I went back to the Apple Store less hangry and satisfied. Thank you for having actual vegan options. What is wrong with all these other restaurants and chains? More and more people are leaning toward ethical diets that don't involve breeding, torturing, and ruthlessly murdering animals so fat people can get fatter. Yes, I said it. I hope you all enjoy my candid comment.

    Order 2 plates when I got the food and I was eating it there was a piece of metal in one of the plates. This is a health hazard they need to be more careful I will not be returning ever

    Love this place as my new default go to for Asian food at the mall. The line for chicken teriyaki is way too lunch during peak meal times, but Ruby Thai has short lines that serve their customers well with quality food and service. What I ordered: -Lo Mein: Not too oily noodles, but could use more seasoning since it was on the dry side. -Mango Chicken: An absolute banger in their meat options. It's a customer favorite all around with its crunchy, tender meat. -Lemongrass Shrimp: Be advised that this menu item has an added fee since shrimp is a premium, but the seasoning was so well done on the shrimp. Mellow flavor from the lemongrass and crispy from the golden battered shrimp.

    I usually mostly get food from Ruby Thai Kitchen when I'm at the mall, either at Westfield Oakridge or Great Mall. They're usually the same in terms of quality/taste and quantity. I get the fried fish and the Singapore noodles. They're both pretty delicious. I like the shrimps too. The curry chicken is another entre to try! The Thai Iced Tea never disappoints. Overall, a good place for a quick grab and go!

    Teriyaki Chicken Lemon Garlic Shrimp  Lomein
    Emely C.

    Lemon garlic shrimp never disappoints! One of my favorite food stands at Oakridge! The Singapore vermicelli noodles are very good too! Although I don't recommend the pad Thai, too little flavor for me.

    Mango chicken combination plate. Chicken good. Noodles terrible and cold. Fried rice was average. 2 out of 5 stars.

Even with them moving out to the East Bay, they make periodic drives just to enjoy what KN has to offer. I've had one dining experience here previously and was not impressed. This lead to not returning. Fast forward 2.5 years or so, here I was again. Our large party of 9 arrived at opening hours and the owners were so very welcoming. The restaurant was clean and the condiments were in tip top shape. Our family's order was massive. We started the meal with xiu mai [Vietnamese pork meat balls] and Chinese donut sticks. This then continued with mi do bien, filet mignon and beef ball pho, & a variety of nam vang noodle versions. The great thing about Kali Noodles are the multiple options of noodles they provide. There are a number of combinations that could be made with the 6 offerings. The food was surprisingly really good- so much better than what my first visit was. The bowls were presented neatly but plated in a way where the large chunks of lettuce made the bowls seem a lot more fuller that it really was. The noodle soups also consisted a lot more broth than noodles. Having said that, the egg noodles are really really good!! The restaurant cooks them perfectly- chewy with a slight bite that keeps you wanting more and more. Hu tieu dai was unfortunately too mushy in texture for my liking. 4 stars overall. Customer service from the owners were exceptional. They were attentive to each person's order and were so welcoming. The food was good but maximize the deliciousness by strictly going for the thin egg noodles. You will not be disappointed and this recommendation is coming from a person who typically steers clear of this. I'd happily return.
