FINE DINING

Kato

$$$$ (+$50pp)LocalOpen now

Taiwanese-influenced tasting menu in a sleek downtown space.

Reservation Required

Kato evolved from a tiny strip-mall spot to a high-design tasting-menu restaurant at ROW DTLA. The menu blends Taiwanese and broader East Asian influences with California produce, often in a seafood-heavy progression. Service and wine are refined but the vibe stays relatively relaxed.
