Why they're an Icon

MICHELIN 1 Star

From the OpenTable editors: Downtown’s Kato has seemingly earned every award on the planet, including the top slot on the Los Angeles Times’s 101 Best Restaurants and a "One to Watch" distinction from the World’s 50 Best. Chef Jon Yao’s Taiwanese-inspired, LA-filtered tasting menus, a stellar wine selection that pulls from the best regions in the world, and one of the most inventive zero-proof beverage programs in the city are the reasons for all those accolades—and why Kato is one of the most sought-after reservations in town.
