Kato

Promoted to two Michelin stars in the 2026 California Guide after a first star in 2019, Kato also took the 2026 James Beard Award for Outstanding Wine and Other Beverages Program. The dining-room tasting menu is published at $325 and an abbreviated bar tasting at $185, with traditional, vintage, and alcohol-free flights listed on katorestaurant.com; an 18% fair-wage fee is added.

While you're there
Kato sits inside the Row DTLA complex on Alameda. Ride-hail is simpler than hunting street parking after dark; pair the dinner with a daylight Arts District walk only if you keep hours honest around the reservation.
Pro Tip: If the dining room is closed out, watch the bar tasting at $185 for the abbreviated arc; guests must be 21 or older at the bar.
