Kato Restaurant Los Angeles

If you are reading this review of Kato don’t bother looking for other places to eat! This place blew my mind! My husband and I stumbled across it while walking around and I knew immediately when I saw it that it was going to be amazing. The aesthetic and ambiance is perfect. It’s clean and simple and grounding. It felt comfortable and luxurious at the same time. All of the food was of the highest quality. The price was such a bargain for what you get!!! I love eating great food but never liked how other restaurants can be overpriced and pretentious. All the waiters and waitresses had perfect customer service. The food was a perfect balance of Japanese, Taiwanese, and California tastes in one menu. I had the winter tasting menu and every dish was superb. All of the seafood, meats, and vegetables were amazing quality. Each dish was unique and tasted subtle, interesting, and original. I come from a Taiwanese background, love japanese food, and grew up in California and this high class fusion food really hit the spot for me. My favorite dishes were the corn potash and pineapple bao but they were all fantastic and I can’t wait to go back. My husband said that this is his favorite restaurant of all time!

8 courses of tasting, aside from the 2nd beets & tuna (over powering beets and not enough of tuna to balance flavor) everything else were fantastic! I love some more of butter milk rose ice
