Wow, best Vietnamese I've had since riding around Vietnam! The ruby pho was absolutely amazing. A must have for anyone who craves Asian cuisine. Fresh spring rolls were a hit too!

T. B.

I've only had 1 dish from here but it was so good I went back and had it again. The spicy braised beef noodle or Bun Bo Kho. Possibly the best noodle dish I've ever had. This place can be busy on weekends. One of the good places for late eats as well.

D. M.

I made the mistake of not booking a table on a Saturday and happened to find Ruby by chance. The staff were extremely friendly and found a seat for me straight away. The roast pork cold rolls were sensational and so was the soup. I think the chef here is a minor celebrity because he was brought out of the kitchen to a round of applause from the diners

D. M.

Pho was great though portion and meat serving were small.

S.

Good experience overall , went together with college mates !! Had a good get together , good portion of food. Pad Thai is awesome , and the green tea icecream for dessert wise was heaven .

R. R. “. W.

Delicious! Great service. The food was so good. Probably my favourite was the Kang Koong in garlic. I actually ordered a little bowl of soy sauce with fresh garlic and chili 🌶 and poured that over my steamed barramundi for a extra flavour. Vegetarian rice paper rolls for entree. And a long Island iced tea to wash it all down.

D. S.

All the food at ruby is amazing but I am definitely a fiend for their fried icecream.

J. W.

Excellent dinner! My mate and I had the Peking duck pancakes for Entree and they were extremely delicious! The Pho, fried rice and sizzling beef were top quality and very tender.

S. N. K.

Food taste or quality might be only 4.5 or 4 stars to me but my mate didnt liked his seafood fried rice and ate only half of the dish then a manager or a owner noticed it when we pay for the bill so he charged us for half price on that seafood fried rice. He was seeking feedback of that seafood fried rice but my mate too hesitate to talk and end up saying it was okay Owners service attitude is truly 5 stars to me

L. W.

The food here was totally authentic, tasty and so reasonably priced. The staff were caring and kind and we enjoyed the choice of indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend for a genuine Vietnamese meal, which took us back to memories of Vietnam. Thank you.

s.

Rice noodles, of course, taste better than the basics no matter what menu you order. Recommended Braised vietnam beef.

R. D.

Great food! Nice restaurant and staff. We ordered a heap of dishes to share - so works well for groups. Only issue was it is really loud. Needs something to break the noise.

P. R.

Delicious good and friendly service. I had a yummy meal which was packed with fresh prawns, scallops and squid with delicious veges and a very tasty sauce. But there were so many other great things on the menu too. Can't wait to come back and try some more.

T.

The best Peking Duck I have ever had... The other curry dishes were also excellent. Make sure you try the Peking Duck entree, dont let that entree word fool you, it was a very generous size and it was perfectly cooked. Succulent, tender and super tasty. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back soon! Also on Mondays they do Vietnamese pancakes wgich are apparently very good, yet to try it though.

A.

Popped in as finding a restaurant open in wet season is like coming across Lord Lucan in Woolworths. Glad we did, had a very nice dinner, Schezuan Prawns were very spicy but tasty, Chilli Beef in plum sauce was yum.

B. N.

The tamarind bara soup is delicious - a must try. Staff is friendly, informative and efficient. The menu will satisfy many appetites. Yhe wine list includes Ingoldby. Affordable, parking on the street, walking distance from Coles.

B. C.

It was recommended to us as average cheap eats. Unfortunately it wasnt cheap nor average. Most of the dishes we ordered were very salty. We were pretty unimpressed especially the spring roll which was basically flat fry. The staff on the other hand were very accommodating and friendly. I personally wouldnt go back. If you must I would recommend trying their whole fish dishes which were sold out on the day and guessing it must be good.

I. T.

Would have to say this is one of the best Asian restaurants I have eaten at with reasonable prices and extensive menu. Friendly staff and very clean. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Darwin CBD.

A. M.

Delicious flavoursome fresh food. I had the green paw paw salad with fresh prawns. Menu stated that it also came with pork but I requested no pork. Accommodating staff and prompt in meal delivery. The salad was so fresh and full of flavour. I could eat it all day long

P. G.

Always great food and when Darwin's Chinese community eat there it must be good. The Duck is always good 👍.

S. B.

The grilled pork was the best I ever had. So good definitely go and prices are reasonable for Darwin.

g. d.

We tried the pho and were pretty disappointed. I paid to have extra meat but my dish looks like the one my wife ordered without the extra. No very tasty as well for the price. We had some honey pork which were very good. I would just advice for pho to go some where else cheapper and better.

G. F.

Really enjoyed the Peking duck pancakes and coconut chicken curry.We were inside to start but it became extremely noisy with a few large groups inside and hard surfaces so we asked to move outside which was much more pleasant.

O. S.

Food was really nice.. yummmy

B. C.

Great service, handles large groups well, food is plentiful with lots on te plate.

d. a.

An amazing culinary experience and compliment to the dinning culture of Darwin. Friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. The food remains authentic to its culture and was a joy to eat

D. W.

Awesome food and fabulous service from our little chirpy waitress. The place was packed to the rafters with patrons - including a function of Asians. We thought it may be some time before our food would arrive however this was not the case. Fresh hot flavoursome food - loved it! Best meal we had in darwin.

J. L.

Had dinner outside table, view and foods were great.

F. G.

Absolutely up there with the best Asian cuisine available...3 times a customer this week.

M. S.

Exceeded our expectations Twice First for some delicious Pho soup one lunch and then dinner where the duck salad was first class (sort of a duck Cole slaw) and my partner had some wonderful Black Pepper Prawns. As a side we had some stir fried and delicious Kan Kung green vegetable also known as Morning Glory Service was with a smile, these people look after their customers

Y. L.

Good variety of yum cha selections. Delicious pho too!

林.

Nice freeze lychee margarita, the beef pho is a little bit pricy.

B. C.

The dishes were fresh, tasty and authentic. The restaurant staff are really nice and professional and make sure u get a vietnamese iced coffee and the soft shell crab both are omg amazing

M.

Good ambient with nice chinese cuisine for dining. Staff are very friendly. Im vegetarian, just be aware of onion and garlic might appear in the food. Wish to have more vegetarian options to choose. Just a suggestion : if can, please use another wok or cooking utensil for only vegetarian or vegan.this will be much appreciated. Thanks.

K. T.

I ordered Peking duck, best ever. Also had lemon grass chicken, brilliant. Had delicious sweets as well. Highly recommended for a group. Order something different so you can share as a group, they don't mind. Friendly staff and comfortable restaurant without being to over the top.

A. M.

I was in Darwin on a work trip when my colleagues decided to bring me here. It was my first time having Vietnamese cuisine and I did not know what to expect. The waiters were very friendly and helpful to explain the ingredients used in certain dishes. They also recommended some dishes to use which were very nice. It was such a pleasant experience.

T. J.

Context: Met up with lads for an impromptu quick lunch and got in and out before the rush, if there was a rush? Ordered the rare beef pho which was surprisingly good. The stock was light yet had depth. Customer service was excellent; prompt and attentive. I took a star off for value. Given the price, you'd expect a little more rare beef and noodles. In saying that, I'd still go back. The alternative for pho is Non La, just up the road.

Went to Ruby mid-week following a walk around the city looking for something moderately priced. The restaurant was bordering on empty but decided even without the popularity that night to give it a go. The menu is quite concise and we opted for soups to start (hot and fresh and full of flavour) and a beef And chicken for main. Amazing. We had plenty of food between the two of us and we forced ourselves to finish it all! Service was nothing special, but staff still attentive enough. This is our favourite restaurant and since finding it have been back a few times taking friends and family with us. Price wise it is the upper level however the food is always fresh, delicious and served quickly. Menu has a good choice... a few selections very different to what is usually available in Darwin. Servings are small but more than enough . We alway come away very happy and satisfied.

G.

Love the spring roll. I am not good in Asian food but place is nice...spring roll about 10aud. Then got mongolian beef not the best but not bad 25$. If you want to asian place in city maybe it is the one. Good place to sit outside or inside and chat.

T. S.

Great pho, very good service. I'm going to be a return customer.

L. T.

A bit pricey for dinner but amazing taste

X. V.

Good authentic Vietnamese food. You can tell by the flavour and smell of the Pho beef noodles soup bowl which is quite hard to get right. Good portion size and extremely pleasant service. Highly recommended as we have been disappointed with Vietnamese cuisine travelling through the NT. Good deco and prices slightly cheaper than some of the others.

R. C.

Ruby has some seriously fresh Vietnamese flavours swimming in its dishes. Centrally located, Ruby's dishes are wallet challenging, but this place is romantic and charming. The Tamarind Barramundi soup is a must try and is enough for one - no sharing! Yum. The outside area is relaxing and cool but magical during Dry Season. The staff is very friendly and informative. This is a must try restaurant.

D. s.

What a nice surprise. Good looking restaurant from the outside, but gives no indication of what the food style is. Was tempted there after hearing good things about this place. Good menu, and good food. Update, over 18 months Rubys has not failed. No.1 place in Darwin to eat as far as I am concerned.

S. W.

Used to be a go to place for me but went again recently and not so impresed. Had the spicy coconut chicken which was delicious but my dining companion didn't enjoy his roast pork at all. We were disconcerted with the waiter's seeming lack of good hygeine practices such as hand washing. Average priced meals.

D. Y.

Great Tofu and Veg Hot Pot...and attentive service.

M. S.

Great yum cha but really slow service. 4 plates between 2 of us and 1.5hrs later, we decided we could not wait for our last plate, paid and left. We went in at 10.30am and started getting busy around 11.00am onwards.

W. H. N.

I'm quite surprised that this restaurant is not rated higher than it is. Friendly and efficient serving staff, big portion for the price and comfortable ambiance. All things considered, it's the best restaurant I've been to during my trip to Darwin.

G. Y. C.

We had Yum Cha on a Saturday. The food is delicious and authentic- exact like a local Yum Cha experience back in China. The price is good and service is also good. The only tho g is I hope they can ask if the customer need the Chinese tea - after all is it what Yum Cha means- and top up the tea pot more regularly. Anyway, very good experience for Yam Cha.

K. Y. N.

Delicious foods. Good environment. Staff were almost friendly. But I had no seats as I did not book. Staff should offered me to seat in the foods court where they were still serve as I saw! Just there was a little disappointed about staff who organized the table for customers!

k. k.

Barra fillets best fish dish

d. w.

Came on a Friday early evening. Very quiet in the city which worried me but found Ruby's. Very pleased with the selection. Crispy beef with chilli plum sauce really hit the spot. Glad I've found it and will be back again.

The Ruby Restaurant is one of the Best Vietnamese Restaurant in town. Food is absolutely incredible and very beautiful. Staffs are very friendly, the owner of the Restaurant is Vietnamese and she is also the cook. The menu has wide range of choices for customer. Per thee above review, its best food is Pho, Bun Bo Hue and the Scamper Fish deep fried. The outdoor apprearance makes it abit Europe style but the inside is vise versa. Recommended for any occation.
