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. read more
