Ruby Foo's

Where other restaurants might get lost in the clutter of Times Square, Ruby Foo's has carved out its own place. With a 50 foot high neon sign of its own and a brightly colored, multi-level dining room known as the "Palace," the restaurant is hard to miss. Inside, guests order from an expansive menu that includes dishes from every part of Asia. Guests can watch the sushi chefs prepare their dinner in front of them, or order from the extensive dumpling menu. Diners who are feeling adventurous should let the chef prepare a feast of his choosing, after a brief consultation of course. A gluten-free menu is also available.
