• Ruby Chinese Restaurant

  1571 Sandhurst Circle
  Scarborough, ON M1V 1V2

  There are a few large Cantonese restaurants in Toronto.  In the spring and summer season, they are frequently booked for weddings and other large functions.  One of them is Ruby Chinese Restaurants:

  

  Large interior to support large functions or many small ones through movable walls:

  

  I went to Ruby for afternoon lunch (dim sum).  Unlike smaller restaurants that use a checklist, food at Ruby is usually ordered from carts being pushed around the restaurant as well as a couple tables set up at the front of the restaurant.

  Fried shrimp dumpling:

  

  Chicken feet with steamed ribs:

  

  Ham, chicken, and baby corn wrapped in bean curd:

  

  The classic "ha gow":

  

  Overall the dim sum dishes are well prepared but lack the variety found at smaller restaurants.  A drawback to ordering off carts is most dishes are warm and would not be considered steaming hot.  I would consider the food predictable and a safe choice to bringing non-Chinese friends to try dim sum.
