"Kato remains a destination for its elegant, Taiwanese and Los Angeles-influenced tasting menus. Reservations are hard to score, plus there’s a $383 price tag ($218 for the bar tasting menu) for dishes like A5 strip loin grilled and served with potatoes, black garlic, and braised tendon in a beautiful, understated dining room. Given its recent ascension back to the top of the Los Angeles Times “101 Best Restaurants” list and its continued Michelin star rating, it’s clear the critics have anointed Kato as one of the best places to eat in the city." - Matthew Kang
