About Kato

Watch on TikTok

Jon Yao earned his Michelin star running Kato as a pop-up in a strip mall, which tells you everything about how he approaches things. The tasting menu at the Arts District location traces a deeply personal California-Taiwanese culinary perspective — dishes that reference his family's cooking through fine-dining technique, without losing the warmth of the original impulse. The cooking is technically precise, emotionally resonant, and entirely its own thing. One of the best tasting-menu restaurants in California.
