Ruby Garden

We always have a great lunch here. There is a large selection of main courses, both spicy and mild. We ate at 11:30 and all the food was hot and fresh. All of the dishes we had were very good.

Although wait staff changes, the waitress/cashier there today was fantastic. She was quick, efficient, polite and kept all the tables cleared.

This is one of the few Asian buffets I've eaten at that has an intentional, clear view of the kitchen. The fact that they show what most restaurants want to hide speaks well about them.

We have always had a good experience and will be returning. I recommended everyone tries for themselves.

Great food, excellent variety. Multiple chicken dish options and typically at least one beef and one fish dish as well.

The food here is absolutely delicious! And the staff is wonderful! I've eaten here dozens of times and I've never had anything less than a perfect experience. Undoubtedly, Ruby Garden is the best restaurant in Ava.

A great place to eat for a small town. The owners are terrific people. A new item is BIBIMBAP, a Korean-style dish that can be customized to anyone's liking.

Drive Thru staff is amazing! I asked her name I was so impressed with how well she handled an upset customer. I won’t post her name without her permission but B did so much better than I ever could, handling the outrageous attitude of a customer! These ladies are not in the kitchen and are not the reason your food is late!! They deal with angry customers all night and still handle themselves so professionally, give them a break!!

They just re-opened their dine in! First off the remodel is so so so cute! I love it, very charming! They didn’t have a lot of my favorites in food when we went. (not their fault - it was their grand opening and they’re very popular and very busy.) The staff is absolutely amazing, sweet, very attentive and just so eager to help. Ruby Garden can never disappoint us! Thanks you guys!

This is a good place to eat. I know one of the cooks there, Darcy and she is a good cook and she makes sure the food is done right. It's a friendly atmosphere with many friendly local patrons. They are busy enough that the food is fresh from the bar and from the kitchen.

Good buffet, best day to go is Wednesday it's the cheapest. Evevery other day they are open is too expensive.

Thank you so much for the best dinner we have had in a long time! Well worth the 30 minute drive! Excellent service, amazing portions & delicious dishes! I'd give 10 stars!

Always happy with the food and the selection. I have my favorites and occasionally throw in something I don't normally get. Since I don't eat a lot, take home works better for me. For fairly close to the same price, I have enough for 3-4 meals. And it warms up well. You should give it a try.

I’ve eaten here many times over the years. The food is hot and yummy! Since Covid I order online and it says it will be ready in 40 minutes. I just order 40 minutes before I needed it. When you arrive you text and they bring it out. I like it this way because everything is made to order. It’s hot and fresh. On Wednesdays they have Kimbap and it is fresh and tasty! Staff is always cheerful and professional! Definitely recommend!

I only get Cashew Chicken, Egg Rolls, and Wontons. They are one of my favorites. I only have a few. I am very picky about my food. So that should say something. This is out of all the small towns around and includes Springfield.
The staff is awesome. They make sure you have everything you need, and they are a very friendly bunch of people. So if you are down this way, I recommend giving it a try. They do have a buffet and other choices of dishes.

Best Chinese food we've ever eaten. Prices are very high but worth it. The buffet has tons of options. It's definitely a treat to eat here and we can count on our kids to get our money's worth when we take them. Owned by a Korean family that took our South Korean exchange student, to the Korean church in Springfield a few times and made her special foods on occasion. We always joke that this restaurant is why we continue to live in Ava, Missouri.

The food was hot and delicious. Our family enjoyed it very much. We will be returning there

The food was AMAZING! The kimchi and pickled radishes are so flavorful and the spice on the kimchi is just right! The staff is so welcoming and friendly! I would eat here everyday if I didn't live so far away! Authentic Korean food!

Ruby Garden has been one of my favorite restaurants in our area. Great food! I really missed this place through the covid shut down.....so happy it is open again!

We love Ruby Garden! Every thing was hot and fresh. Today was excellent!

First visit after reopen. The food was good and staff was nice. But the floors were disgusting and really took away from everything seeing a big sticky black spot from where a buffet use to sit.

So good. It was a little pricey, but we all enjoyed our food. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have any seafood

One of the best buffets I have ever visited. Many, many excellent choices. But, like most buffets, food is usually not hot enough. Very fair price at $9.99.
