Was surprised at how large the serving size was at majordomo. We had ordered the smoked half bo saam, ibérico pork, and tuna carpaccio. All were so delicious, not a miss for any of them. The Bo saam was my favorite for sure, and we luckily had plenty leftover. I'd definitely recommend coming on an empty stomach to ensure that you're able to enjoy multiple dishes. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying the short rib. Overall this is a great place to come for a special occasion with a large group. Make sure to make reservations some time in advance!

party of 6 went to celebrate a birthday. food and service were great. we were promptly seated and they accommodated a late addition. love the ambience of the place. we were seated in the patio and it was fine although i prefer the dining room. the one criticism is the potato special. the waiter sold it to us as a not to be missed dish proclaiming that the chef would show up to serve this dish with caviar and the works. we were excited! a chef showed up with panache but it was a friggin a SINGLE POTATO. we paid over a $100 for a friggin potato. put caviar and bone marrow reduction in lieu of sour cream. DO NOT ORDER THE POTATO SPECIAL.

Nice place, but very overpriced in my opinion. The wagyu had so much gristle my GF wouldn't eat it. I would definitely eat there again knowing what not to eat on the menu. We got a lot of food and 60% was great, 25% was ok and the rest was a dumpster fire. The tuna carpaccio, mushroom rice and prime rib are what I recommend.

Located in industrial-hip Chinatown, Majordomo is a pricey experience best served for very special occasions out. This is usually described as Asian fusion but most dishes seem to be either simply Asian (Korean) or modern American in taste and lacking uniqueness. At the price charged (likely $100-200/person), you'd be better off simply going to a normal Korean restaurant and getting the same taste, but with bigger portions, for less money. It might be worth it for you though if you want the whole experience of being out in LA, the location is very nice but that's what you're paying for. Tuna Carpaccio - very thin and small amount of tuna. Not much asian fusion going on this one and pricey. Grilled Prawns - cooked well and a good size. Could have been from any American restaurant though. Mushroom Crispy Rice - standout of the night. Crispy with a tasty sauce, like a mushroom bibimbap. Whole Plate Short Rib - preordered this and it was cut/served at the table. Tender meat and a good flavor but really just tasted like a good brisket from any bbq restaurant. It came with gochujang and lettuce wraps (nice touch) but the meat itself could have used a more daring flavor to set it apart.

Overpriced Asian fusion. Nothing was spectacular. I can see someone who isn't knowledgeable about Asian cuisine liking it.

If you're on a quest for culinary bliss, look no further than Majordomo! My taste buds are still dancing from the unforgettable experience my friends and I had celebrating my bestie's birthday here. From the moment we stepped inside, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and excitement. Majordomo's trendy yet inviting ambiance set the stage for an evening of gastronomic delight. Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the legendary short rib. Oh, what a masterpiece! Tender, succulent, and bursting with flavor, each bite was a symphony of taste sensations. It's no wonder we couldn't resist ordering seconds--it was simply irresistible. But the indulgence didn't stop there. The bing and dips were a revelation! Fresh, fluffy bing paired with tantalizing dips left us craving more with every bite. And let's not forget our gracious server, who guided us through the menu with expertise and enthusiasm, ensuring every choice was a winner. As we left Majordomo that evening, we couldn't help but already plan our return. With so many tantalizing dishes left to try, Majordomo has secured its place as a must-visit culinary destination in our hearts. Until next time, Majordomo, thank you for an unforgettable dining experience! Plenty of private paid parking for those looking to park on site. There's a lot for a fee and street parking if you're lucky.

Majordomo is a great place to go with group of people I did and it was perfect. We dined at night and the lighting inside for me was nice dimmed but not too dark. We started with Bing and I had mine with the cultured butter and honey. I have to say I really enjoyed it it came outing piping hot and it was soft, I wish I could've ordered more. The second thing I tried was the crispy potatoes, they were garlicky with a kick and a little lemony from the mayo it comes with. I liked it I just thought they were a little heavy with the grease from being fried and also the mayo. Also, it was my first time eating here I didn't know I had to order The whole plate of short ribs ahead of time so instead we ordered the smoked half Bo Ssäm and it was enough for 5 of us. This meat came with sides/condiments and rice, which we made lettuce wraps with all the sides. It was good, but the meat itself besides the outer part it didn't really have much flavor unless you made lettuce wraps with onions, kimchi and sauces. Finally I ordered a cocktail the Tepache Junglebird and it was a little smoky and I personally love that flavor. We were gonna order dessert, but unfortunately we were all full. Next time I will, I saw them flambéing some sort of dessert table side and it looked delicious, and I'll also try the short rib plate as well.

What majordomo has to offer overall is impressive. The place looks fantastic and the staff is informed, timely, and friendly. I ordered the mushroom crunchy rice, Grilled Wagyu, and 1/2 oysters. All extremely delicious and nothing took too long to come out. By far my favorite thing on the menu is the Bing bread with the honey butter. Their cocktails are also delicious, I def recommend the Shiso. The overall vibe of majordomo is amazing and I would recommend coming here at any time for any occasion!

We attended a wedding celebration and it was wonderful!Staff was very attentive. Although they had mostly meat/seafood options, they were accommodating to my dietary restrictions. The food was delicious.I would return in the future!
I came here for my bday, and all they did for it was that the hostess said happy birthday. Don’t offer spaces for special notes on reservations if all you’re going to do is have a stranger say happy birthday! Also the food kinda sucks. As a Korean.

WOW. It was an amazing dining EXPERIENCE. We had a party of 9 which allowed for trying many items. Everything we ordered was tasty.:Rating -10 - Bing (Cultured Butter & Honey - Ribeye Au Jus)10 - Little Gem Salad9 - Grilled Boy Choy10 - Crispy Potatoes8 - Mushroom Crispy Rice9 - Grilled Striped Bass8 - Iberico Pork11 - Whole Plate Short Rib11 - Desert DonutThe bing hands down some of the best bread I've ever had and the toppings were superb. The little Gem Salad was a complete surprise with unusual flavor combinations dancing in my mouth.The Crispy Rice and Iberico pork were my least favorites. Pork was a very small portion and dry. Crispy rice had great serving presentation however there were bits a little difficult to chew. Boy Choy and Bass were good but nothing stood out.Short rib was decadent, tender and absolutely delicious with an unexpectant surprise of fried rice made with the remaining bits from the table side serving.To top of the evening was the OUTSTANDING donut desert served in New Orleans flaming style with caramel, Macadamia nuts and pineapple.Cant wait to return. I daydream about the outing and Already have reservations to try other items and reorder my favorites.
Amazing experience. I’m fairly liberal with my starring but this place deserves all the stars. We were a group of 5 and I think it was the perfect number to try a large variety from the menu. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and we ended up with two delicious wines. The 24h short rib was to die for. The rice at the end.. magicalCan’t say enough positive things about our experience
