Went to ruby today and bought 1lb of crispy pork which was glorious and delicious. The cut was definitely of the pork belly variety.

I was there on Super Bowl Sunday, it seemed like it was more of a takeout kinda joint. No one was eating at a table and the people in there were all just placing to go orders.
i dont know if this was normal or not
Yeah I went there last Saturday got a lb of roast pork to go and no one was sitting inside, so I ate a couple pieces in the car and went on my way

Hi @Hungrydrunk,
Do you mean at Ruby? The 4 times we went there, we ate at the restaurant (there are enough tables). And it was always ~50% - 90% full. Definitely better to eat and enjoy there if you can.

been to Rubyâs twice, both times it was completely deserted. At 3pm or so the staff eats family meal in the main dining room per usual custom.
They didnât bother getting up to help either time, so it seems like the kinda place where you just need to act like you know what youâre doing (ie sit down and ask for a menu or something even if itâs deserted, if you want to eat there).

A Chinese BBQ place that only offers siu yuk, chicken, and roasted duck?! Not even char siuâŚwe were the lone diners there.
Typical veggie soup - Freebie
Siu Yuk
Super crispy skin with tender, flavorful porky goodness
Roasted Duck
Juicy with skin that has a slight crispâŚI do feel that these arenât as flavorful as the ones Iâm used toâŚperhaps a bit under seasoned?
Stir-fried garlic dau miu / pea shoots - homey goodness
Rice - Freebie

It ainât a Chinese meal without some greens.
That siu yuk has been calling me this past week. I been eye banging Ruby BBQâs roast pork and Sea Harbourâs steamed rock cod. Both I might add are New Years dishes so I think a bang bang is in order

I do think they do their siu yuk better than roast duck

you were in the party of four who first came in around noon, then left? that was me sitting inside the door.
No. We were a party of 2.
Nice report @moonboy403. Glad you liked the Roasted Pork Belly. 
Love that crispy skin and tender Pork.
Yah, definitely their Roasted Pork Belly is better than the Roasted Duck, but in general we havenât found any places around here that have a nice crisped skin HK Roast Duck.
âŚyou and your GF⌠you said something about making sure you ordered the duck before you ordered?
I really donât remember, but I did see one person sitting by the door when I arrived, seemingly waiting for his to-go order? Was that you?
Thanks for the find! I was really surprised when they told me that they have no char siu though! Maybe Iâll try Ho Kee tomorrow for comparison.
