"BOSTON Rubato is a Hong Kong-style daytime cafe that inspires us to brave Boston traffic at lunchtime for fried chicken-stuffed bolo baos, lava egg yolk French toast, and fluffy steamed baos. The buttery baked buns have a sugary top that creates an amazing savory-sweet combination, and the crisp airy youtiao dipped into congee or house soy milk is how we wish we could start every morning. If you come in the afternoon, get a savory bowl of ji cheung fun with beef brisket and curry fish balls for the kind of lunch that will make your next three meals incredibly disappointing." - anne cruz
