    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

    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.

    This is by far the worst pad Thai I have ever had. Bland and flavorless. I threw away so much food because it was inedible.

    It's a hidden gem in the Evergreen area. Way better than commercialized Panda Express. I'm so sad I…read morecan't gate keep this business because honestly the food is too good to keep a secret! The front desk worker is always the same woman; she gets my order and that's all I need! No need for special how are you doing, nice to see you, how's everything nonsense- she's got customers always coming in and they're always busy! Those who know- KNOW. But here's a tip: the phone is unreliable- your best bet for an order would be to come in person**** Portion servings are always way more than you need- there's a TON of value for the price point they give; one of the top reasons of why I always keep coming back. The food is delicious! Definitely recommend the bbq chicken fried rice and sweet and sour pork. Seating area is more so just for waiting for pickup. No sit down and eat since tables are stacked up. Ignore the dust and cobwebs ambiance because trust me the food is worth it. I'm going to go here forever!

The Walnut Prawns were craveable, and the prawns themselves were huge. I made my way back a couple time because it was so darn good. They also ordered Peppered beef, and that was also really good as well. There was also chow mein and fried rice, but I saved my stomach space for the prawns, beef, and other good eats available. I don't live in Evergreen anymore but I definitely, plan on making trips out that way for the rest of the menu offerings. Highly recommended!

The brown sugar sticky rice cake was soft inside and hard outside; with just the right amount of sweetness. Service was ok. They should've been kinder and more grateful.

There was no line for us to be seated. I was able to flag down a server to seat us since they seem to be extremely busy cleaning tables and servicing others. The hotpots are full of ingredients and the broth has always been tasty. Unfortunately, the meats seem to be overcooked. Prices have been going up over the years where only the monthly special is enticing for the value. Servers were friendly and checked in on us, but it took 25 minutes for our food to show up at our table after we ordered. The only consistent experience I've had are the oranges at the end of the meal. They are always amazingly sweet, juicy, and comes off the peel easily. I don't usually enjoy oranges, but I love the ones HomeEat offers! Will be back if in the area, but hope kitchen service will be quicker in the future.

There wasn't much interaction with the waitress besides when she brought our food. We ordered the string bean with beef, which was good, the combo chow mein and combo fried rice, pot stickers and the chicken with chili sauce. The food came out super quick besides the potstickers. Those took a while. I liked all the food besides the chicken with chili sauce. It's a cold app and I didn't really like it but my gf did so that's okay. There are about a dozen tables and the biggest table I would say fits 6 so any more than that you might be at different tables. It's a little hole in the wall place and overall decent.

This is one of the handful of American Chinese restaurants that stood the test of time. As is typical of these places, there was an old lady manning the counter and also acting as the server. And as is typical of these places, there was table at the end where they were prepping the fruits and veggies. It's truly remarkable how they are all similar in these ways! We got a couple of dishes and they came out at lightning speed. * Chowmein-3/5- delicious with lots of umami flavor but shockingly greasy. I mean I am used to oily noodles but this one exceeded some limits. *crispy salt and pepper eggplant-3/5- I had a stellar version of this dish at another restaurant in Sunnyvale and was stoked when I saw this on the menu here. Unfortunately it was a poor representation of the dish I loved there. The batter was too much and the dish felt heavy. The hot oil or sauce they had felt old and extremely vinegary as well, I would recommend avoiding it.
