Why it belongs on your shortlist
Jonathan Yao’s tasting menu draws on his Taiwanese background and Los Angeles upbringing. At ROW DTLA, the restaurant combines an ambitious meal with a beverage program that also considers guests who do not drink alcohol.
Desk-researched profile. Our planning suggestions below are editorial guidance, not a firsthand restaurant review.
Who should put it on the list?
Consider Kato for a contemporary tasting menu. The right choice depends on your group’s food preferences, your preferred pace, and whether this address fits the rest of your plans. A Michelin distinction is useful evidence of recognition; it does not tell you what your particular evening should look like.
Our planning note
Compare the current food and beverage options before you book. Decide whether the pairing belongs in your budget rather than treating it as an automatic extra.
Before committing to a reservation
- Check the current menu, total price, taxes, service charges, and beverage options.
- Read deposit and cancellation terms before payment.
- Confirm dietary needs and accessibility directly with the restaurant.
- Use the actual address when planning transportation and your arrival time.
