This little place near Lake Sumter Landing is not a stand out, but it gets a passing grade from me. I thought the kitchen skimped out on my shrimp dish. And the sauce was a tad watery. But the flavor was good. I never like it when a server asks me what I had when figuring the check. But the team effort to keep my drink refilled was nice. I think the interior could stand a refresh. All in all, I won't seek it out, but won't stay away. A solid "meh."

Stopped in for lunch. Had green chicken curry and chicken pad Thai. All delicious and gluten free! Restaurant was very full. Service was quick. They will increase the spice level upon request. Ambiance was nicer than the typical Thai strip mall establishments.

If you live in The Villages and crave Thai food this is the only place in town. We've eaten here at least 5 times and our favorite soup, Tom Kha Gai is always lukewarm. When we ordered it last week, the chicken was dry and the onions and peppers were raw. Also, the service was terrible, the portions are small and the prices are high. Sadly, we decided we won't be going back.

Mixed feelings on Thai Ruby - there were a few hits, but the errors were too severe for us to give them a higher score.Arrived on a Friday early evening and promptly seated. First time visit to location and found the decor and staff appearance very pleasant. Booth seats are low compared to table height - almost felt like we were grazing at a table, it was so high. We were given time to review menu and then placed order. We only had water, but when they'd come to refill our glasses, they splashed a lot on the table, leaving large puddles.For starter we tried the appetizer sampler. Presentation on a duck decorated plate was good. The wontons and rangoons were very tasty, we loved the curry. The shrimp tempura was a bit mushy inside, and the egg rolls were ok. The biggest disappointment on the sampler were the spring rolls. fried and tough. We mentioned that to our server when they came to clear that plate.We then waited a good 10/15 minutes after our appetizer plate was cleared, watching food come out to tables that had been seated well after us and we finally called over our server to inquire about our meals. We watched him check the computer screen and call over the other lead server and then both of them left the dining room for a few moments. He finally came back and said our food was coming out soon. No reason as to what happened, but we suspect our ticket got lost - things happen, but at least step up and say what really happened.A minute or two later, my meal arrived and I was turned off by the presentation. I had chosen the lettuce wrap (which is actually an appetizer). I'm expecting 3 or 4 wrapped bundles on meat inside lettuce leaves, instead I'm given a heap of ground chicken and peppers and a 1/2 wedge of lettuce - guess I'm supposed to make my own wraps... We explained our dislike with the appearance of that dish and asked for it to be removed - can't even say how it tasted as it was a turn off.We still ended up waiting a few more minutes before my dining partners dish (pad thai) was brought to the table. While it was quite large in portion and easily shareable, we found it lacking for flavor and were not overly impressed with it. Being located at Brownwood Paddock Square in the Villages, there are lots of parking options and easy access. We're going to keep searching central FL for a better Thai restaurant, this one doesn't do it for us.

This is the best restaurant I've had in The Villages. Food options are very limited in this area and this is the only Thai place within 20 some miles. I get so sick of fried American food when I visit my parents in The Villages. The menu is smaller than most Thai restaurants but they're very tasty and authentic. We loved the amazing chicken (peanut sauce), chicken pad see eew, and sweet and sour beef. The staff are very friendly and the food came out so fast. My sister didn't like her lettuce wraps (not on the restaurant just not what my sister expected) and they offered to take it off the bill when we didn't take the leftovers home with the rest of the food. Give this place try we really enjoyed it and would come back.

Cool inside, pleasant greeting on arrival. The booth offered to us was comfortable for two. Wife ordered Drunken Noodles with chicken, I chose Pad Thai with shrimp. We were both pleased to receive a spring roll with sauce and a small bowl of clear chicken soup with pleasant seasoning and some rice in the soup. Both plates were really really thermally hot when they arrived and on individual plates as shown in the photo below. We exchanged dishes while eating, and both of us thought that each dish was good quality and more than sufficient quantity. All in all, we both liked the drunken noodles better of the two dishes, probably because it had a more distinct and active set of seasonings. (The drunken noodles had a generous amount of Thai basil, which is what I think each of us liked about that dish).

I go to Thai Ruby for lunch once a month with friends and I always order Drunken Noodles mix with beef, chicken, seafood or veggies at different times. This is my favorite restaurant, reasonably priced, courteous and efficient service, and delicious food. My friends like it too and it has a variety of other foods in its menu.
