Ruby Chinese Restaurant Ltd - Coquitlam

After a table tennis game, a group of us went to this restaurant that was recommended by some Chinese players. The food took a bit longer to arrive than we would have liked, but it was served hot.

I do not recommend this place for Chinese food. It is too expensive.

I visited this restaurant years ago and recently stopped by for dim sum. I ordered Sui Mai, Ha Gow x2, Sticky Rice x2, Beef Tendon, and Steamed Black Bean Ribs. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the food and couldn't wait to leave by the end of the meal. The Ha Gow and Sticky Rice stuck to the bottom of the plate, making them hard to eat. My son, who usually loves Sticky Rice at dim sum restaurants, left a lot on his plate. The Sui Mai was also a letdown, with uneven chunks of meat. It was clear that the kitchen was cutting corners and compromising on quality. Reheating dim sum often results in food sticking to the bottom of the plate or paper it sits on, which was evident in this case. Overall, this place was a disaster and I will never be returning. It's a shame because I used to enjoy their food. Quality always matters and skipping on it will only lead to disappointment in the end. These guys need to improve their standards and stop taking shortcuts. They have lost me as a customer forever.

Dim sum items were reasonably edible. Lots of varieties there. The regular Chinese dishes were below average. The fish congee was very good. We probably would not go there if not for convenience as it is located close to a nursing home where I can get my father to the restaurant without calling a handicap bus.

Four of us stopped here to eat - we were seated in a separate room from the rest of the patrons and more or less forgotten about. When the meals came at least two had congealed "hot| pork on their plates - this was the second time for me and there will not be a 3rd
