Beautiful fresh food, amazing service. Highly reccomend.
Lovely setting. Always warm, clean and cozy. Excellent service. Tasty food. Our favorite is the kum pow pork, salt and pepper tofu and squid. Value for money.
Great family run business, family friendly and well run. 8 of us had buffet dinner there yesterday, food always the same and a bit repetitive but that said always fresh, hot and plentiful. Kids love the food as well as the mocktails, great value and well recommended.
Run by family for many many years, you get a friendly service from the owners and their kids. Food reminds me of traditional home cooking, not super tasty as if msg was added, but not so bland that you know you just cook better at home. Hits and misses with different menu items, but mostly enjoyable. I strongly recommend ordering ala carte instead of their buffet. Their takeaway is somehow not as good as dining in either. Decor is very old, needs a revamp! But when we eat during dinnertime, they put on air-conditioning so it feels comfortable. Our lil picky eater actually enjoys eating here because she feels like at home with the staff being very attentive to her. We have been back many a times, and will still do so to support local businesses.
Been to the ruby many times over the years and have always loved the garlic prawns and scallops. Recent visit was dissappointing though. The garlic prawns were nothing like they used to be and were quite bland. Bring back the old recipe/chef!
Amazing food and staff. One of the best Chinese restaurants in Auckland! Get down to Papakura and try it. Reasonable price, friendly, funny staff and the food is just amazing. Recommend seafood in birds nest or duck treasure. You will never go home hungry after eating at this place. BYO also.

Went to New Ruby last night and it was a group booking with about 25-30 people. The place is very tidy but a little to cramped but it is well organised. The decor is a bit 1970ish but is still presentable. The food was great. it was cooked properly with plenty of flavour and a good selection of food. The thing a liked was that they kept stocking up the buffet so if you wanted more of the same thing you didn't have to wait for more to arrive and the dessert was just the best with a huge selection. It was more a Kiwi/Chinese vibe going. One bad point was the barman who was a bit on the slow side which was ok because he did a good job making cocktails etc. When we first arrived we were greeted by a friendly staff member, we gave them the booking name and they showed us to our tables. Most of the people in the group were standing and talking and I was wondering if the staff would come and ask us to sit down as we were close to where the restrooms were and other diners were having to walk around us, but they didn't seem to mind. I have to say that. I would have no problem with going back there soon.
I go to New Ruby for the takeaways only, but the food there is magnificent! Had garlic prawns and some curry dishes the other day and I gotta say it's pretty damn delicious! MUST go to the restaurant some day for the buffet!
I love this place. We had our wedding reception there and our one year anniversary party there too. We love it. Everyone kept telling us how wonderful it was. Best service, friendly staff, fantastic food. A+++. We have been so impressed we are going there for my mums birthday this week :)
I love New Ruby Restaurant, we don't go as often as I'd like but I always enjoy it when we do. I love, love, love their garlic prawns. Dessert needs a bit of work but other than that, no complaints!
I highly recommend it for lunch. The lunch special is fantastic value, the food is delicious, the facilities first-class, and the service wonderful. I recommend you order a pot of jasmine tea with your lunch. It doesn't cost much, and it is superb.
We don't live in Auckland, so will probably never get the opportunity to dine there in the evening. That's a pity, as I'm confident it would be a great experience.
Amazing to know this restaurant has been opening for 50 years! What a legend! Very friendly and kind service. Clean and kind. Reasonable price and good variety of food for a buffet meal.
Very delicious Cantonese food. No msg and no animal fat. The corn soup is freshly sweet. Though not traditional Cantonese style, all food are tasty. The owner said the restaurant has been running for 52 years.
very nice...ordered deep fried scallops..wow 12 of...and satay beef with bowl of rice....fantastic meal..will return
Lovely, welcoming and clean restaurant. Decided to dine in and order the lunch special. Very good value for money it’s only like $12 or $13 for the whole plate so that’s a perfect lunch for me🙂
Value for money LUNCH at New Ruby Restaurant. I had honey pork with fried rice at NZD13.90. If you are at South Auckland and want a reasonable meal at reasonable price, this is a place I will recommend.
Great value, not greasy, tasty as chowmein, fried rice and great chips 😁
The music blew my socks off (in a great way) , the decor reminded me of my grandmas childhood, and the food was excellent, the perfect cure for our worlds issues :) 5 stars
Had the lunch special for two. Sweet and sour pork, fried rice, veges and wonton. All of it was very nice. Ate at a restaurant very close yesterday and spent twice what we did here for a meal that wasn't nearly as good. Definitely recommend.
The decor was not the best but the food was pretty good and the soundtrack was excellent. We would go again.
