Kat Khao Brings New Fusion to JC
There is a new Asian Fusion restaurant in Jersey City. Kat Khao, located downtown at 527 Jersey Ave., blends the flavors of Vietnamese and Japanese cuisines in a funky, Asian-inspired setting.
The menu combines the comfort of Vietnamese street food and home cooking with the refined elegance of Japanese cuisine. How does this translate to dishes on the menu? We would start with the Chilean Sea Bass Cha Ca – the most popular dish since the soft open in late May. The fatty sea bass is served on a bed of noodles and delicious sauce of turmeric, scallion and dill.
As of this writing the menu was still in its starting stage and limited on veg options with the exception of the chilled Vegan Summer Roll and some side dishes. Kat Khao is BYOB but has a Mocktail menu made with non-alcoholic spirits from Ritual and Lyre’s. That said, our favorite was the very simple and refreshing Yuzu Mint Lemonade. Looking forward to more meals at this fun new spot.
