Why You’ll Love It

Kato is a standout dining destination that showcases the artistry of Taiwanese-American cuisine with a modern twist. The intimate and minimalist setting provides the perfect backdrop for your culinary journey, where each dish is thoughtfully crafted to highlight seasonal ingredients and bold, intricate flavors. The dining room tasting menu focuses on innovative culinary techniques that continue to grow, leaning farther into Taiwanese influences and flavors through every evolution. Kato's chef, Jon Yao, is self-taught and began his culinary journey at Kato's original strip mall location when he was 24. Now in his early 30s, his techniques and flavors have continued to reach new heights. His masterful work, along with the restaurant's acclaimed cocktail program, has earned Kato a Michelin Star for the effort, and the team has no plans to slow down any time soon. Ideal for food enthusiasts seeking an elevated dining experience, Kato promises an unforgettable exploration of contemporary Asian cuisine.
