" Delicious and authentic! I had the pleasure of sampling several dishes at Rubato, and I can safely say it’s one of the best spots for Hong Kong-style cuisine around. The Fried Chicken Bolo is a must-try; it’s fried just right. I was also impressed with their Milk Tea—it’s rich and such a comfort. The only downside was how busy the place gets, but that just shows how popular they are! I’ll definitely be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Rubato is absolutely my new favorite spot in town! I went there for brunch and the Fried Chicken Bao was phenomenal. The balance of flavors with the sweet and savory was perfect. Don’t skip the Lava Egg Yolk French Toast—it’s worth every calorie! I brought a friend who had never tried Hong Kong food before, and she can't stop raving about it. One of the highlights was the friendly service; they made us feel right at home. Can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbled upon Rubato while searching for a quick bite and, wow, did I hit the jackpot! I had the Rubato Fun Fun noodles, and the textures were incredible. They paired excellently with the sesame and hoisin sauces. However, the portion felt a bit on the smaller side for the price. The atmosphere was lively, with locals enjoying their meals, which created a welcoming vibe. Definitely a place I want to return to—can't wait to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time trying Rubato and I was thrilled with the authenticity! The Fried Chicken Bolo is a game-changer; it’s crispy and so flavorful. The ambiance is cozy and warm, making it a lovely place to enjoy a meal, although it can get quite packed. My only complaint is regarding the portion size for the price, which felt slightly on the lower side. Yet overall, I’m happy and would eagerly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" First visit to Rubato, and I was not disappointed! The fried chicken was cooked perfectly—super crispy and full of flavor. The sides complemented the meal beautifully. Although the café is on the smaller side, the ambiance is cozy and inviting. The service was prompt and pleasant. I will likely come back to try more items from their expansive menu!

" Rubato HK Café has a fantastic selection of dishes that I absolutely loved. The HK-style milk tea was strong and flavorful, just like you'd find in Hong Kong. The congee was silky smooth and loaded with toppings. The service was attentive, but as with many popular spots, be prepared for a bit of a wait during peak meal times. I've already recommended this café to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Rubato after hearing so much buzz, but I found it a bit overrated. The food was tasty enough, but I've had better Hong Kong-style dishes in other places. The service was friendly but a bit disorganized, and the space was cramped. I enjoyed the HK French Toast, but I had expected more flavor, especially given the hype. Might give it another shot someday but not urgently. " (*Curated Review*)
