Well well well, I can say that I was pleasantly surprised by mall food. Who knew?
What's special about Ruby Thai? For one thing, nutrition information is available online, which makes me a lot more comfortable about eating glorified cafeteria food. And it's not *that* bad, calorie-wise. The times I've eaten here, I've stuck with the Thai BBQ Chicken, rice, and a side of veggies. I actually prefer the white rice to the fried — for some reason, the fried rice didn't taste like what I thought it would? But the chicken is better than average, and you don't feel terrible afterward.
Other than that, I don't think there's much else to say. I think Ruby Thai is the better choice of the Willowbrook food court options (if you're not in the mood for good ol' TBell).
Ruby Thai Kitchen is really just another Chinese food court stop trying to pass off as something else. The same thing goes for the "Bourbon Street Cafe" next to it–typical orange chicken, broccoli and beef, flavorless lo mein, etc. They do have a few Thai dishes, but anyone familiar with Thai cuisine knows it's far from it.
However, this place does offer a break from all that by offering a variety of noodle soups, including wonton, spicy beef noodle, and seafood among others. The noodles and meat/seafood are cooked to order, so expect to wait around ten minutes for it to be ready. When it is, you add your own toppings.
The portions are decent for around $7. My spicy beef noodle soup came with five large chunks of beef and plenty of baby bok choy. As for the noodles, they were cooked too long and became soggy/too soft. Great option if it's cold outside or you want something that isn't fried.
This place is located in the food court of the mall. You get a good portion of food for the price. I enjoy the mango chicken and curry noodles. Decent mall Chinese food.
This place Thai eatery is located in the food court of WillowBrook Mall. I usually like Thai cuisine but they don't really cook Thai style in their dishes. Its more like Chinese take out. These dishes are often found in other Chinese fast food places. I like the pad Thai Noddles but their noddles taste like sauteed lomein noodles. They also have wonton noddle soup but it also taste like the regular wonton filling found at a typical Chinese Fast Food take out. They give you samples for you to try before you buy. Overall, if you want authentic Thai food this not the place. Its just a alternative to other Chinese take out.
