About Ruby House
On Springfield Rd in Belfast, Ruby House is a Chinese takeaway where orders are placed at the counter rather than by phone or app alone. Full portion meals are sized to serve two people, giving the option to split a dish rather than order separately. The curry carries a noticeable kick for those who prefer spice. Ordering runs walk-in, with the counter staff taking requests in person, and delivery reaches customers who prefer to eat at home. The menu follows the standard Chinese takeaway range built around these larger shared portions.

Customer Review Summary
Value for money stands out most, with reviewers noting the large full portions that can feed two people at low prices. Close behind, several praise the curry's kick and the counter staff's friendliness, and more than one delivery order is described as arriving hot and fresh with crisp, not soggy, chips. Complaints recur just as clearly: multiple reviewers describe rubbery chicken, salty gravy and fried rice, and one recalls chips turning soggy and sauce tasting rotten twice in a row. One reviewer reports a case of food poisoning after chicken that wasn't cooked through. A separate customer says they were refused delivery to their address despite receiving a menu through the letterbox. Portion size is called small by at least one diner, who still ranks it above other local competitors.
