Los Angeles restaurant Kato wins the 2024 Resy One To Watch Award from The World's 50 Best Restaurants.

Los Angeles-based restaurant Kato, led by chef Jon Yao and sommelier and COO Ryan Bailey, has today been named the winner of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants‘ Resy One To Watch Award 2024. The award recognizes a restaurant that is considered a rising star, making a splash on the gastronomic scene and deserving international acclaim. Taiwanese-American chef Jon Yao first opened Kato in 2016 in an unassuming mall in West LA, where he served a tasting menu focusing on Asian-American cuisine, heavily influenced by that of his Taiwanese mother. In early 2022, Jon Yao and Ryan Bailey moved Kato to new, more spacious and fully licensed premises in the Row DTLA of Los Angeles’ Arts District, having promoted long-time general manager Nikki Reginaldo to managing partner in the process and recruited experienced bar manager Austin Hennelly.
