   I would say stick to the main menu and do not order the $45 youtiao (chinese donut) supplement, which consisted of some dough ball topped with ham and caviar. The whole bite was a salt bomb from the ham, caviar, and uni (which I didn’t really taste). The disappointment was in the supposed chinese dough aspect which was not crunchy/rich/chewy whatsoever and offered no contrast for the whole bite; it really had more of a consistency akin to a takoyaki, which would have been a more apt descriptor for the sea elements. For $45, I would rather they offer an additional dish than bite. The main lamb dish was a miss for us and offered nothing mind blowing in particular, as was the ground cumin lamb pan fried bao served on the side, which again looked like it would be crispy, but again was not; the ground meat on the inside was stodgy/hard but did have a nice seasoning to it, albeit one note. The quail and black cod were the dishes that were more reminiscent of a michelin starred restaurant. Finally, the crab maw soup was good, but they need to realize that putting a whole dollop of the caviar would make it salty, and the little dish of vinegar on the side was not enough to balance it all. Desserts at the end were great and ended the meal on a good note. As for drinks, the non-alcoholic drinks were fun and refreshing. Service overall was spectacular and professional, and the interior ambiance was clean, minimalist, and quiet.

   I recently dined at Kato for the special menu with chef's mom. I have a nut and crustacean allergy and reached out to Kato who responded they could accommodate this. Kato also reached out a 2nd time to confirm, so I felt very safe. I've also dined at Kato in the past and they've been very cognizant of my allergies. Unfortunately during this most recent experience, they were not. I mentioned my allergies to 3 separate waiters. Throughout the coursed meal I was met with confused looks and "it SHOULDN'T have nuts" or "umm let me check". I find it strange that a Michelin restaurant has people serving the food who do not know the ingredients. Responding "it SHOULDN'T" is honestly probably worse than saying "I don't know". After the 1st waiter checked, she noted the only dish with nuts was the 1st, and the remaining 5 were nut and crustacean-free. The 2nd dish was a turnip cake. The waiter was not sure if it had scallop or shrimp. I'm allergic to shrimp but not scallops. The waiter checked with the chef and came back stating it was shrimp. Unfortunately this was a pretty large dish that I missed out on. In the past, Kato offered me an alternative option, but in this case I just didn't get to eat. The third dish came out - fried chicken. I took a bite, immediately felt itchy, and my husband realized there were peanuts on the dish. Luckily I ended up being fine since I spit it out and didn't swallow anything, but this was now the 3rd dish that could have killed me after repeatedly mentioning my allergies to multiple people. The general manager was very nice, our meals were comped and we got extra dessert. She tried her best to rectify the situation, and I appreciate that. However, I think Kato was very lucky that I didn't go into anaphylaxis, and I'm pretty disappointed that a Michelin restaurant can't keep track of allergies. The food was still very good. I used to recommend this restaurant to others due to being allergy-friendly, but now I'm actually scared to return.

   Amazing experience. The team did a great job and Chef Jon is remarkable in weaving Taiwanese cuisine into a fine dining experience

   Kato was an amazing, high end, refined tasting menu experience. Loved the care and thought with each dish and the cocktails were awesome too!

   Simply put, one of the best fine dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. The service was flawless and the dishes were sublime; each one seemingly better than the one before. The wine list is exceptional and not to be missed. Some very pricey bottles but also some great values, especially some of the aged selections. A beautiful space with staff that clearly cares about making the evening a fun and memorable experience. We can’t wait to return!

   the only michelin starred Taiwanese restaurant in the nation. you have to try it if you like asian food and especially Taiwanese. it is nothing like any Taiwanese you have tried. also its more seafood forward than beef which we liked as its lower cholesterol. presentation is beautiful and some of the dishes are mind blowing. the crab pooridge is way way better than you think. i can't even remember it all and non alcholoic pairing was great. we had it with some wine vs full on alcoholic pairing. its on par or better than Single Thread non-alcoholic pairing especially if you like asian flavors.

   TL;DR: Excellent food, really slow service, inattentive staff I really wanted to like this place. I had been looking forward to this reservation all week. I've tried several Michelin star restaurants and this was the first I felt did not deserve the hype. In my opinion, Michelin star restaurants are supposed to provide more than great food. They are supposed to provide a memorable experience. Unfortunately, it was a bad memory for me and my wife. We were seated immediately after we showed up for our reservation. Our waitress came over shortly and introduced herself and gave us a quick rundown of what the restaurant was about and the menu. She was very nice and seemed to really be into the vibe, which we appreciated. She asked if we wanted to speak with the sommelier and we said yes. We waited literally 10 minutes while we watched the sommelier attend to two other tables extensively, then start running food out to tables. Our waitress did not return. After we flagged her down we said we were ready to order drinks on our own. She offered to get the sommelier again but we declined and wanted to get on with our meal. We both ordered the non-alcoholic drink pairings with our meals, a glass of wine for my wife, and an old fashioned for me. She made a good recommendation for the wine. The old fashioned was an amazing experience as they go over the Taiwan whiskey and different options then make it table side. It was an excellent drink. Sadly, neither of us got our non-alcoholic pairings and only realized halfway through our meals that they were missing. The food was delicious. Exactly what I expected for a meal like this. However, the time between each course was ridiculously long. Additionally, some of the food runners - they were often different - would come out very excited and knowledgeable about the food while others would barely say anything. In two instances we actually had to ask the runners (separate guys) what was being served to us beyon

    We had one of the best meals of our lives at Kato last night. Their Lunar New Year collaboration with Kasama was so incredibly delicious (every bite was packed with flavor and perfectly balanced).
