Quote most often attributed
to patrons: "Style over substance." Upping the yuppie quotient on
the UWS, Ruby Foo's draws beautiful young couples (many of them as
gay as the day is long) who come to munch on a schizophrenic mixture
of Asian cuisine and be seen hitting the quick dial on their cell
phones. Foo's can't seem to decide if it's Chinese, Japanese, Thai
or Vietnamese, so they just make everything. Yes, you can order California
roll, sweet and sour chicken, pad thai and ng ng all from the same
menu. Unfortunately, none of it is that remarkable or really very
good. Fortunately, you don't usually care, as you look at the cool,
two-floored surroundings, complete with a giant red lacquered wall
decorated with Chinese vases, a curved glass sushi kitchen and waitresses
hired straight out of the Julliard dance studios. [MF] Other Locations: Ruby Foo's Times Square |
