Did not disappoint. We hade an amazing tuna crudo, bing-their bread- with a pine nut and eggplant gremolata. Our main was a fantastic Iberico pork with a baby bok choy side. Service was attentive and the drinks were great. The chocolate pot a feu was so good. Everything is served family style. Thoroughly enjoyed.

I was a little worried that this place might be overrated, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed it. We got the Bing with eggplant, mushroom, crispy rice, wagyu, and crispy potatoes, and everything was delicious!! For two people, it was a lot, we came hungry but we were stuffed at the end. The best two items were crispy potatoes and wagyu. The Wagyu beef was incredibly flavorful, juicy, and the chimichurri provided a perfect compliment without being overpowering. II have a possibly controversial opinion: the crispy potatoes were better than the mushroom crispy fried rice. They were crunchy, spicy, acidic, well-balanced, just magnificent, and a quarter of the price.
The crispy fried rice was overpriced for not having a protein included. Could have used a little spice as well. However, I've heard from a friend that if you come with a large group, get the rice and the short rib, and mix them together, that's where it's at.
Our server and the sommelier were wonderful; helpful, easy to talk to, great suggestions, approachable. We were given delicious crémant for our anniversary. All around great experience and would go again with a large group to try the large share items!

**4.4/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ Majordomo Chinatown: Posh Asian Fusion with Creative Twists**
Tucked in the heart of LA's Chinatown on Broadway, **Majordomo** (David Chang's outpost) is the Asian restaurant that channels that **New York posh** vibe—think sleek industrial design, high ceilings, and **open spacing** that makes the room feel airy and sophisticated without being stuffy. The energy buzzes like a Manhattan hotspot, with communal tables fostering that cool, urban dining scene. The **creative recipes** shine: the bing bread with chickpea hozon is fluffy and addictive, while the spicy lamb noodles twist Korean and Chinese influences into something bold and fun. The whole boiled chicken with ginger-scallion sauce is a showstopper—tender, flavorful, and paired with rice that's perfectly steamed.
Service is attentive and knowledgeable—servers pace the meal well for groups, recommending wine pairings from their eclectic list. It's a step above casual, leaning into that fine-dining-lite experience that's perfect for date nights or impressing friends.
That said, minor deductions keep it from a full 5. **Parking** in Chinatown is a nightmare—valet is available but pricey, and street spots vanish fast. The **coursing** can feel rushed during peaks, with dishes arriving all at once rather than timed elegantly. And while innovative, some **tastes** miss the mark for me—overly bold spices can overpower subtleties, and portions lean small for the price.
Overall, Majordomo earns a strong 4.4 for that posh New York feel, spacious layout, and recipe creativity in Chinatown's evolving scene. It's a standout for fusion fans—I'll be back, but maybe Uber to skip the parking drama.

Good high quality ingredients. However, not at a level of a top tier Asian restaurant based on their price point. Service was very good.

Food is great, but this place is really about the meat. While they do have fish--a delicious branzino prepared with a lovely jalapeno sauce, the focus is on large cuts of meat. The waiter brought out the entree orders of fish before the rest of the entrees and the fish dishes were consumed like appetizers which meant us fish eaters left hungry after spending $$$. They need more variety in terms of sides and veggies but overall food was unusual and tasty. Cool industrial chic location in DTLA.

Incredible!! And I only went for lunch. Can't wait to come back for dinner!! The staff was also exceptional.

Fantastic food, four of us shared the bing bread, the mushroom crispy rice, the branzino and the ribeye. Very happy with our choices, we were all full and happy! Love a good dry aged steak.

Our party had the dinela set menu and the food was either a hit or miss. The mushroom pate bing and grilled dorade were great! But the biggest disappointment of the night was the smoked prime rib... I was really looking forward to it because many people say that this is the best in the LA area and was so happy to see that it was included in their dinela menu. But for some reason, their prime rib tastes like baked ham? I just really couldn't get over it, even though their horseradish sauce was great. Also, their service is really slow. This is my second visit and both times we were frustrated at how long it took for the food to arrive.

Dine LA menu which was a good sampling of their food. Beautiful restaurant with superb service and food. Haven't enjoyed a meal like this in a while.

Out dinner was excellent . It was great to try new dishes which we all enjoyed. We will definitely come back.
Service was lack luster and the food was literally cold. Have had great meals there in the past, but this visit was disappointing
Edward
Great restaurant. Will definitely be back in coming months. service was impeccable. Family had a lot of picky eaters and they all enjoyed every dish that was ordered.
Tanee
This restaurant nails it every single time. No better prime rib. The sausage stuffed peppers with house made ranch visits me in my sweetest dreams and the service is A+++ always! Quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants.
