Ottawa Foodies

Best canadian chinese in the city. I use to live in china town & would drive to walkley just for ruby inn. No sweet & sour sauce like it anywhere else that I have found!
Also love the retro wall paper, amazing how things really do come back into style.

Got my dinner here for New Year's Eve and was as pleased with it as ever. The food isn't anything special, really. Just your average americanized chinese food, too heavy on sauces and gravies and deep fat frying, but I enjoy it every once in a while. Much of the menu is hit and miss, I like the fried rice but the chow mein and chop suey is too heavy on the celery and other cheap greens. The quality of the soup varies, but the egg rolls are always great.

The egg rolls here are the best I've had, though I've never tried the Golden Palace. They are crispy, open ended and stuffed full, with just the right amount of oilyness lingering on them. They're good cold the next day in much the same way pizza or roast chicken is.

Second only to Golden Palace; will sell them partially cooked so that you can finish them at home for parties
