Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Huntington Park / Bell / Maywood

I have been coming to Kato more than 5 times in the past three years and it is probably my best restaurant in Los Angeles .

What a great way to take advantage of a beautiful LA day! Had brunch here and absolutely loved the outdoor venue and walking around seeing all the art. Had never really been to this part of LA and I was certainly missing out. Such a great vibe. Originally from the south I’m pretty critical when it comes to southern food but the beignets and cornbread were spot on. So yummy! Everyone at our table loved the shrimp and grits…just meh. The sides were true stand outs and the blistered snap peas were delicious. The popover Benedict was unique and the market salad had such unexpected ingredients. We loved them all and will definitely be back. And don’t forget the fun cocktails, and yummy desserts . Service was great as well!

The food was really really good and the servers were very attentive. One member of our party was limited in what they could eat, and the server (Chris) was super attentive and helpful in figuring out what would be appropriate for them. They remembered when people asked for ice of not and didn’t make us feel rushed even though we were the last to leave in our area. When the food started coming we wondered if we should have ordered more apps as they were really good (prawns, ceviche, and salmon tostada) but all the food was just as good and we were so full by the end. The one miss was we had marked it was one of our party and they asked several times whose birthday it is, which we told them, we thought we wouldn’t need to note it for the end but there was no celebration or candle, even though we ordered several desserts. Overall it was a really good meal and we all enjoyed ourselves due to the attentiveness and caring of the staff at Damian

We had a wonderful time at Stevens. The band was awesome and I was even serenade for my birthday. If I'm ever back in LA, I will definitely come here again.

I took my mom here for her birthday who is half Japanese and she had a wonderful time! We all really enjoyed experiencing flavors that were unique and fun to share with each other. We all ordered the omakase and ordered the almonds and chinmi separately. Maybe the only ding in the experience was the servers mispronounced omakase, which was weird considering it's a high-end Japanese restaurant. They don't put the emphasis on "ma", rather they make it sound like kamikaze which is off-putting at the ordering stage. I loved the Grilled California Holstein Beef Strip the most. It was so simple to look at, but the flavor of the beef with the salt crystals was divine. Loved the fresh seaweed shot with grapes! This made all of us say Wow! The omakase came with a mackerel sushi roll which wasn't on the menu, but it was a flavor bomb. The steamed rice was beautiful with the pork jowl. I could eat that rice on its own though! The miso soup was super tasty! I would skip the shiitake tempura but it's part of the omakase. Too oily, don't eat the whole thing. The new katsu with wagyu beef is a huge amount of food. My mom ate 1/4 of it and had to take the rest home, but my boyfriend ate the whole thing! The cocktails were fantastic, along with the sake pairings throughout our meal. The bartender was stellar. Loved the Yuzu Reviver (vodka) and the Old Fashioned. We left feeling full and satisfied, but not stuffed. It was all delicious! Expect a 2 1/2 hour delectable experience! Enjoy!
