Thai Ruby

[TednRobin]

I would love to try Thai RUby, my husband is not so adventerous in that dept. If we go to Thai Ruby's any suggestions for him that is on the tame side?

If so you can order Pad Tai and ask for it to not be spiced. You can also tell them that you do not want spices on anything you order. The pineapple fried rice is also delicious and very much like chinese fried rice. I think they a very familiar with clientele that doesn't want things spicy. The food is really good and so is the atmosphere. It is one of our favorite places.

I recommend Thai Ruby. My wife and I had a wonderful lunch there. Since we started going to Thai restaurants we now prefer them to Chinese, and my wife was a diehard Chinese food fan!

Their green curry chicken is sooooo good. I love that place!

[dfn8tly]

I too am a firm supporter of Thai Ruby. It is certainly one on my favorite restaurants. When you place your order just tell the server that your husband does not like spicy food. They are always willing to accommodate.

Try the SP 7, Two friends Panang. Chicken, shrimp in a yellow very mild curry coconut sauce. Excellent.

Their "Thai Ruby Tilapia" is a wonderful dish. The fish is cooked perfectly and you can have the "heat" from mild to Thai Hot. I get mine at Medium and it has just enough bite to make it interesting.

Cashew Chicken is my fav.

[al & jane]

Our favorite restaurant in TV. All of their dishes are more mild than any Thai place we have been to and we enjoy their Panang Chicken very much and actually have to ask for it "hot" to get enough kick.

We have had the "Thai Ruby Tilapia" twice and its great! If not on menu just ask $ 13.95 last week.

Having lived in Thailand for 5 years, I have an appreciation for good Thai food.

Thai Ruby is a very good restaurant offering many traditional thai dishes as well as "Americanized Thai dishes". Both are very tasty. I have also found that the staff is very accomodating and is pleased to adjust the level of spice and heat as well as improvise on some of the dishes.

Overall, Thai Ruby is a restaurant that will be on my short list when we settle in The Villages.

I have a serious allergic reaction to eating shellfish of ANY kind. SERIOUS.

I am always a little afraid to go to a restaurant where the hostess and servers speak English as a second language and I hate to go and make a big to-do about it especially in front of friends.

So knowing that I am really not picky, What SAFE dish should I order that has not a teeny tiny bit of lobster, crab, shrimp, oysters, oyster sauce, clams, etc, etc, etc,???

Isn't this great? I have always wanted to find out what would be o.k. to eat there.

P.S. This is another reason why I don't drink alcohol too, It relaxes you a little too much and you have to be so careful at parties about what you are eating.

Their green curry chicken is very good (my wife is not too gastronomically adventurous and she loves it!), just ask them not to make it too spicy--unless you like it that way.

Unless this is a take out order, wouldn't it be more logical if "the husband" told the server he does not like spicy food.

Gracie:
I agree that the green curry chicken would be a good choice as would the regular curry chicken or the beef curry dish. Beef with brocolli and chicken with cashews would also be a safe bet and the chicken with fresh spring vegetables as well. I have found the servers to be very fluent in english so you should have no problem in communicating your concerns about shellfish.

Thai Ruby in the Villages is their second restaurant as they have one in Tampa as well which also has a great reputation.

Enjoy and let us know how your experience was.

i'd love to try it where is it located

[graciegirl]

The family LOVED it and our granddaughter suggested I'd like Chicken Pan Thai with noodles and I loved it.

I will get Green Curry chicken next time.

It is in Lake Sumter Landing. I can't remember which street.

My son and family live in HK (daughter in law is indonesian-chinese). They know and love all types of asian foods- Their assesment last summer was that Thai Ruby rates very high with some adjustment for American tastes(less spicy) You must understand ,however, my DIL could swallow burning embers.:icon_wink:
