Went around noon on a Sunday with a guy I was dating and a group of his friends after a long night of drinking up Drexel. Got some sweet & sour chicken with a handful of fries. Nothing I haven't really had before from a Chinese place. It hit the spot, though. I did want the sushi, but, was afraid to even touch it. It was just on a tray under the lights with the regular items. No ice or anything. Food poisoning wasn't on the agenda that afternoon. read more

I have been here at Least ten times in the last couple of years , everything is always fresh and abundant ! I am not a buffet person , but I find this to be an excellent value and quite delicious , you can have all kinda of seafood , raw or cooked , sushi , duck and so many other dishes , pastries and desserts ! I love the opportunity to try so many different dishes for such a great price ! You really can't go wrong with the ruby buffet ! read more

Very good food. Great lunch bargain. We will definitely make a trip over the bridge for this very nice place again!

Finally a good buffet in philly!! food is fresh, taste is delicious. I would recommend this place.

It was a good experience, friendly service but not as many options as there could be. There's a good number of basics that are all typical of a Chinese buffet. The Chinese donuts were really good with ice cream. Other than that it was nothing spectacular but it definitely got the job done. read more

Generic buffet restaurant run by probably family own business. Food is ok. If you are looking for quantity, this is it. I had about two servings of variety food. Their salad selection is weak and could have more sushi varieties. Other than that lot of fried and creamy stuff that I can't really eat much. Definitely a place if you feel really depressed and just wanna eat without thinking what you are eating. read more

Mm pretty decent, good variety, nice employees.average quality in food.

I mean, it's your basic Chinese buffet at a higher price than you would pay where I am from (L.A. And AZ). Just ok. The chili sauce is hiding near the other sauces, look hard it is there! read more

I love their dessert, even thou they dont have a lot of food to serve.

Sushi was okay the rest was okay. It's pretty typical buffet Chinese food. 3 stars worth trying...but don't expect 5 star gourmet food...

The waitress give crappy services and are really pushy about paying the bill 20 minutes after arriving. It made for a very uncomfortable experience. To top it off the waitress made it a point out the tip section on the receipt. read more

The quality of food and employee has really gone down here. The serving staff is still great but the woman who runs the desk really is completely miserable. She really should find a new job, she's just awful. It's sad to see this place in the state it's at now. It used to be the kind of place you'd send people to. read more

If you're in the mood for a buffet this is the spot. Remember, it's a buffet so don't expect a 5 star meal. The food your would normal avoid at a buffet (sea food) actually looks edible here. read more

This buffet isn't so bad, I actually like it :) The food is consistent. Although the sushi bar isn't so 'woohoo', all of the other foods are fairly good for a buffet in South Philadelphia. After all, you can't really expect fantastic sushi from a joint of that nature (a buffet unless that's what they're known for.) It's the perfect spot for a typical lunch. Dinner is a tad bit pricey but hey! bring a friend who is willing to treat :D ! read more

A lot of the wholesome looking food is secretly loaded with sugar, watch out!

Personally I really like this place,. it is a great deal. My husband and I take our 2 nephews there once a month and the bill comes to $55.00. They LOVE it and it's the only place they want to go. Ruby's is a bit stingy with their king crab legs and I understand why people can get greedy with them, when they do finally bring out a fresh batch of crab it's usually only a small batch and then there's a 10 minutes wait till the next batch comes out. LOL it's a science. Sushi is AWESOME and the soft serve ice cream is really good. It's definitly worth a try. read more

The sushi chef changed!!! The improvement isn't great, but he's still better than the last sushi chef who always scowled at everyone! The hot food at Ruby's is the best around, bar none~ The servers are slightly bettter than other chinese buffets too~~ read more

GOOD SEAFOOD SECTION !! Fresh food ! Clean! Its a little expensive , but you get what you pay for :)

As someone who hate Chinese buffets alot, this place was better compared to other ones I've been too. I still hated it but it was slightly better. I feel like Chinese from a takeout place is leaps and bounds better than any buffet. This place kept the food more well stocked than other buffets I've seen. They also had alot of seafood and sushi options. I don't know how either of those were because I hate seafood but I can say that the raw clams looked absolutely miserable. The food here still tasted bad but it wasn't old and dry like most buffets. It was also very crowded on a Sunday night. It was also a little more expensive than other buffets I've been to. A buffet and soda was about 16 with tax. I probably won't be coming back here but I could see why people like going here I guess I dunno read more

Clean, comfy, and classic...Top 100 Chinese Resto in USA too boot

Took my mother in law and husband here due to the all you can eat crabs. I can honestly say this is one of the nicer buffets that we have been to. The food was good and ranged from sushi to white rice and everything in between. The only issue was the crab legs. Due to being in high demand, they were not always available and usually had to wait in line or wait up to 20 minutes for them. They did not bring them out immediately. Other than that issue- everything else was good. My mother in law seemed to enjoy so that was a benefit. read more

I went here alone for my birthday soon after I moved to Philly. Damn, it feels good to be a gangster! No, seriously, this place kicks arse for a buffet. They have a huge selection of stuff - from the anomalous and pointless American items like garlic Bread and Pizza to some really adequate sushi to the fatty and addictive "fried balls of different meats" selection. And every item is better than you should expect out of a buffet, though I didn't taste everything. It wasn't for a lack of trying though. The service wasn't really that great (the waitress was very prompt at refilling my water, but seemed disinterested or annoyed), but its a buffet - service is the last thing one worries about. Foor food/price ratio, this place is 6 stars. read more

There was variety. The food tasted fresh. If you like sushi it was good as well. A brother who frequents stated the use the same utensils or knives for everything without cleaning them off. So if you are vegetarian you might get fragments of meat if you don't like pork there is a chance you might get fragments of it in your food. I think the need to become more aware of people dietary preferences and accommodate them so they can eat in peace read more

Food is very mediocre. The dumplings are awful. The donuts are good. But not worth the money at all. Service is great

A little disappointing from the food. No chance to try any crab leg. It came out and disappeared in a moment. No fresh grill in this restaurant. Service was fast and good. read more

The service was excellent but I wish I could have enjoyed the experience. I was too busy focused on how my food was cold. Despite the cold food there was not much to complain about. Desperate and hungry, I had no choice but to grin and bare it. read more

Overall it has decent service and a nice atmosphere. But on the other hand the waitress made us put a tip when all she did was bring up a knife. The food selection was okay somewhat limited, the place is mostly seating. I know my fiancé and I will not be going back. read more

Have been there a couple of times for take out by weight. Menu was the same over and over and inconstant base price per lbs. Overall not satisfied with the service...they don't know how to conduct business and maintain customer relationship. Go to other buffet to indulge your crave for all you can eat food. read more

This is strictly based on the buffet experience. The combination of American and Chinese cuisine gives you something for everyone. The best time to go is between noon and 1pm weekdays. As you can say with all buffets, you are guaranteed to get a fresh display of your popular favorites when the restaurant is busy. This is a great family go to spot if you want to treat the kids, and not burn a hole in your wallet. Not everyone likes a buffet, but in this economy it's great to have a choice. read more

The rudest waitress I've ever had in my life. Basically told us she was getting a tip when we asked for a extra wet nap and when the tip wasn't big enough she let us know that if we ever came back she would make sure we were never get seated in her area. Food was blah to began with but the attitude of the waitress pretty much ruin my experience. read more

This place is terrible, the food is overcooked or raw, and the service is terrible. Every 5 minutes someone came over to ask if we were eating dinner or lunch or to take a plate away. I will never return here, neither will I recommend it. read more

Charged for drinks even though you only asked hot water. Charged for tips by themselves so you have no rights to give tips depending on their sevice. The host lady is really rude. Big smile before you seating in. Awful face after you paid. read more

They are very racist people. Waited to after i paid and left out the door with the receipt in my hand. To think i was stealing. I had an employee chase me down outside and after i showed her my receipt still kept telling me i didn't pay because they couldn't pull my receipt in the system. Chased me down in my car until another employee told her they do have It. I asked for an apology and she flagged me down. To know that i just spent my hard working money at a place they didn't believe me even when i had the proof that i paid. I will never spend my hardworking money at a place where i can't get an apology. read more

No doubt the best buffet place around in a world where it can be tough to find a good one

this buffet shows a variety of food but the food is very greasy and over cooked. The sushi was dry and not looking fresh. The service people were rude when i asked a question when I asked the hubachi cook a question he said get it yourself. I can't think of one food that tastes good at this buffet. i definately will not waste my money again. read more

Ruby's has one of the BEST selections on food at a buffet I have ever seen. The presentation is nice and most appetizing. The atmosphere is family style and it gets crowed late in the dinner hour ~ so get there early and enjoy! read more

Don't expect much in terms of fancy food from a Chinese buffet, but this one is one of the best I've ever eaten at. My only complaint is that the there's a line for the snow crab legs, so unless you want to wait in line, you're not getting any. read more

Food was good, Staff was not. We paid with a debit card before we could even leave cash on the table as a tip, a waitress looked at our receipt and started yelling at us for not tipping! We weren't even finished our meal! I'm all for Gratuity and always give my 20% sometimes maybe even more,but I don't like tipping on a card, This server took it upon herself to scream at the guests and I that attended the restraunt for lunch in the middle of the crowded restaurant. Very unprofessional! read more

This is your typical Chinese buffet. There isn't anything that really sticks out and the food is average. The selection isn't huge, but I feel that they have something for everyone. The place was bright and clean and the lunch prices weren't bad either. read more

The food wasn't even hot and the waitress got mad because I asked to change my soda. I ordered a sprite but it tasted like seltzer water so I got a coke instead. When we got the check she said the tip isn't included. We usually tip but she was upset we didn't leave one and slammed the change on the counter and was talking in here language probably cursing use out to the other employees. Her attitude is a turn off and I will probably never go back there. read more
