" What an interesting spot! I went to Rubato expecting typical café fare but was pleasantly surprised by the high-quality dishes. Their Bolo Bao was one of the best I’ve had—it’s soft and sweet, with savory fillings that really hit the spot. The service was excellent; staff members were friendly and attentive. The only minus was the limited seating. Highly encourage everyone to check it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Rubato last weekend, and it was a delightful experience! The food was fresh and filled with authentic flavors—just like what I remember from my childhood. The Bolo Bao was particularly impressive. Just a heads-up, though: it gets busy and you might need to wait for a table during peak hours. Still, it's worth it for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Searched for a casual spot for brunch and I’m so glad I found Rubato! The various menu items bring amazing authenticity to each bite. The sandwiches were hearty and tasty, though I'd like to see larger portion sizes. The service, however, was fantastic, even with a packed café, which made our experience even more enjoyable! Would certainly recommend this spot to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" After much anticipation, I finally visited Rubato! The atmosphere is just the right mix of cozy and bustling. I ordered the congee, and it blew me away—it was comforting and flavorful. The Fried Chicken Bolo was equally impressive. I enjoyed every bite. Just keep in mind that space is limited, so it might be better to grab takeout if you want a more relaxed meal. I'll certainly be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Rubato through social media and it was worth the trip! The ambiance is charming, albeit small, which only adds to its appeal. I tried the congee and it was deliciously comforting. My partner had the Spam Bolo Bao and raved about it. The staff were helpful and made great recommendations. I look forward to returning to try their full menu. One to watch! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
