Mushroom crispy rice
Nic L.

Cool warehouse turned into restaurant, although there's not a lot of a/c to go around on a hot day. Service is excellent- we were indecisive, so we relied heavily on our server to put together the meal. We ordered: Mushroom crispy rice- strong umami dish, rice was crispy and the poured over broth was delicious Yellowtail slices- the passion fruit marinade was something we haven't seen on a carpaccio and we enjoyed this as a light appetizer Bing with ricotta, jam, and chili oil- this really stood out, definitely a must have at this restaurant. Great mix of flavors. Smoked pork chop- we wouldn't normally get this, but the waiter suggested it and we ultimately trusted him. Probably the best pork chop we've ever had. It was perfectly cooked, with tender meat and fat that melts in your mouth. The coconut milk in the collared greens was also a nice touch. Yuzu lemonade- they must be squeezing this fresh in the back, it took a while to come but it was so good. Love a more tart drink, and this was a perfect palate cleanser between dishes. This was more than enough for two people, we both ate to our fill and had enough for one lunch the next day. Not sure if it was intentional, but all dishes came out individually. I think some things (ie rice/pork) would have been nicely paired together so that you can balance your palate and pace yourself better. Also, a bit pricey for what you're getting, but to be expected from a celebrity chef's restaurant in LA. I will say that the chase sapphire credit helped my wallet digest it more comfortably (and the sapphire gift side dish was a plus!) Overall a great experience that I would like to have again with more bing and some new dishes.

I was loving every single bite! I'm not sure why it took me so long to try this place out. It's been on my list for a long time, and I knew it would be good, but dang! Everything about it was great... the service was fast and friendly, the food was served at a perfect cadence, flavors was on point, and the drinks were great too. I also really liked the decor in the restaurant. It was pricey but so well worth it. I would recommend the dips, the rice, and the shrimps. Will definitely be returning to try more.

Grilled Branzino
Derek F.

Really enjoyed dinner here. The space is industrial and spacious - high ceilings, open feel. Loved the vibe. Food overall was great, even if it's on the pricey side. Grilled branzino was spot on. Pork chop tasted good, solid flavor, but the center felt was cooked through and not as tender as I had hoped. Tomato salad was fresh. Fried cauliflower, nice crunch. Tapioca spaghetti was interesting (even though there's no tapioca, right?) but had a small complaint that the noodle was a little hard. Some like, some don't. Crispy potatoes - crunchy on the outside, soft inside. It hit the spot, one of the best crispy potatoes that I can remember. Bing butter & honey was a favorite too. Drinks were solid, ube pina colada didn't taste as good as it looks, but it's a lot of purple fun. Yuzu lemonade was refreshing. The missing 1 star is a mix of small gripes: the pork chop (a little dry inside), hard noodle, ube pina colada looked better than it tasted, and it's a little pricey for the amount of food. Would definitely come back, I wanted to try the pork shoulders next!

Steak and eggs
Shalisa F.

I enjoyed brunch here. The restaurant has a cool ahd chill, industrial-inspired design that gives it a modern, upscale vibe. There was a beautiful mural on the patio. The buns were definitely one of my favorite parts of the meal. All three dips were delicious, and each one gave the bread a completely different flavor. The steak and eggs crispy rice was packed with flavor. The crispy rice added a really nice texture and made the dish more interesting than a typical steak and eggs. The steak could have used a bit more salt. The Branzino was another solid choice. It was flavorful. Such well balanced flavors . If you're looking for something lighter than the steak and eggs but still substantial, this is a good option. The customer service was excellent. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel welcoming without being overbearing.

Tomato Salad & Eggplant Bing
Barbara T.

Majordomo was such a great dining experience! The service was wonderful, and everything we tried was delicious. I would definitely come back. The Tuna Carpaccio was easily my favorite! 10/10! The yuzu and sesame pairing was so bright and flavorful, and it was one of those dishes I could have ordered again and again. We also tried the Eggplant & Pine Nut Bing, Little Gem Salad, Tomato Salad, Mushroom Crispy Rice, Crispy Potatoes, and the Strip Steak. Everything was thoughtfully prepared, and the strip steak was cooked to perfection. I paired my meal with a glass of red wine, which went perfectly with the steak. Overall, great food, great service, and a really enjoyable experience. Definitely worth coming back for!

Short rib over rice w jalapeño sauce

Finally visited the restaurant in person before attending a concert next door at Pacific Electric . Food was great and delivered in a timely manner. Staff were friendly and provided an additional drink when one was inadvertently taken away before we were done with it - Bravo ! Restrooms were clean and we were seated right away although it was at the bar - reservations definitely recommended.

Bing with smoked fish and crème fraiche
Candyce P.

I was super excited to try this restaurant because I had seen really good reviews online, esp for the bossam and Bing. The interior of the restaurant itself is very industrial and it's a super cute date spot. Parking is paid tho (as with most places in LA). We had a reservation on a Friday at 6:30 and were seated immediately. Our servers were super attentive and kind and our food came out relatively quickly as well. As for the food tho... it was a bit of a let down for us. Bing with cultured butter and honey - 4/5 If you come here, the one thing I do recommend is the Bing. The bread comes out warm and is super soft and fluffy in the inside, while having a crisp outside. I liked the touch of black pepper with the butter and honey, but it was a bit too much honey for my liking. Besides the bread itself, the dip wasn't anything special but dill delicious nonetheless. Bing with smoked fish and crème fraiche - 4/5 I think this is my favorite thing that we ordered. The smoked salmon paired well with the creaminess and slight tang of the crème fraiche, and I also loved the touch of dill. Nothing outstanding again, but the cold dip provided a nice temperature contrast w the warm bread. Mushroom crispy rice - 4/5 Loved the variety of mushrooms on the crispy rice. It had a nice umami flavor that paired well with the rice that had a nice crisp texture. It was a bit on the heavy side tho -- I wish it had a touch of lemon zest or something acidic to brighten up the dish. Bossam - 2.5/5 This was unfortunately the biggest let down of our meal. Priced at $135 I would have expected more, but it just tasted like a typical bbq pork shoulder. It was super heavy and greasy and even with the sides of lettuce, kimchi, pickled onions, and ssamjang, the fat still left a slightly unpleasant mouthfeel. The meat itself was very tender tho which I can appreciate. Also, I'm surprised this dish is called bossam, as it is not the traditional boiled pork belly. It didn't even have any sort of asian flavor besides the sides. When I read reviews online, this was by far the most hyped up dish, but we did not love it. All in all, I'm glad I tried the restaurant once but I would not personally come back. The ambiance is super nice, yet the food was unfortunately a let down.

Majordomo has been uber-chef David Chang's flagship restaurant in Los Angeles since its 2018 opening, yet this was my first visit, for weekend brunch. In my defense, I have frequented several of his numerous restaurants in New York (some now closed) and Las Vegas. Majordomo's location is rather odd--north of Chinatown in a non-commercial area full of warehouses, some refurbished, like Majordomo's. This part of Naud St. doesn't even have curbs or sidewalks. There are 2 large parking lots, one for Majordomo guests (not free), plus street parking. Nearby is Los Angeles State Historic Park, so street parking is precious during later brunch hours. Majordomo has a pretty large airy warehouse interior dining area, plus an equally spacious covered patio. I arrived early to see a staffer debugging the area with some sort of powered zapper. I looked over the online brunch menu quite thoroughly, only to find the actual menu is a bit different. I was here to use an expiring Chase Sapphire Reserve dining credit, so I ordered quite a bit. 1) Kimino Momo sparkling peach soda. Came in a bottle, made in Japan, refreshing and not too sweet. I looked up the brand to see if it was owned by David Chang--it's not. 2) Bing Bun Basket (3 pc). Nice Korean version of a Parker House roll. Served with cream cheese/ricotta/butter with chili jam/honey/dulce de leche. Delish. 3) Corn Pancakes. A stack of 3 served with maple butter syrup and an herbed creme fraiche. Nice crunchy edges, slight corn taste, topped with corn flakes. Unique. 4) Crispy Bing. A flattened bing bread fried crisp and topped with smoked pork shoulder, avocado crema and another spicy red crema, plus a fried egg. This seemed to have replaced the croque madame on the online menu. The bread was rather tough, but tasty. 5) Steak and Egg Crispy Rice. My fave dish. Pieces of steak, slices of pickled daikon and jalapenos, scallions and sesame over crispy rice with mushroom broth and a fried egg on top. Mix it all together for a delish savory delight. 6) Smoked Rack of Pork Ribs. I got half a rack. Slow smoked/roasted to a salmon pink colour. Tender and tasty with sweet, vinegary and (not too) spicy BBQ sauce. The online menu listed 2 desserts, choco pot de creme and honey pie. I would have liked to try the honey pie but was told this was not possible. Overall a nice, tasty and substantial Korean fusion brunch. I noticed that at opening, 100% of the guests were Asian, then later decreased to maybe 95%. The staff is a potpourri, service was good.

Kelly H.

Delicious Chinese and Asian fusion cuisine restaurant. Similar to Momofuku in Vegas. The branzino, pot with crispy rice and mushrooms, bing with salmon and dill, and large braised pork is a must order. Also, the osmanthus sparkling tea drink was refreshing for a hot summer day. Service was excellent and ambiance is high ceilings with natural light.

Erick V.

Everything about this place is amazing. Been here twice now, Dinner and Brunch. Both menus are a must try. Servers are attentive and genuine. Didn't take many photos because I couldn't wait to dive into the food. You can't miss with any pic here. Brunch pick: Baked cook Bing! Steak and Eggs Crispy Rice Smoked Ribs Dinner pick: Pan cooked Bing!!! Get the bing! Perfectly paired with their Ricotta, Jam & Chili Crunch. Grilled Bok Choy Smoked Bo Ssäm

Kristina S.

Ambiance looks nice but it was extremely hot inside to a point many guests were using the menu to fan themselves. It was uncomfortable to eat in that condition. I saw staff was fanning with her hand as well. They did turn the AC up when we were finishing dinner. Food: nothing special. Tuna was room temperature so it's not refreshing. Drink was weak and watered down. Mushroom rice has too much sauce with nothing to cut the salty and sweet flavor (a tiny portion of kimchi would have help). Steak has good texture. Will not recommend.

Elizabeth L.

Majordomo is an LA staple and I haven't been back to try it in years. I think your experience here may largely depend on what you order. Raw marinated prawns- comes in a kimchi marinade with the fried shrimp head on the side - good and fresh, make sure to eat the head while it's hot! Ricotta, jam, and chili crunch bing- could have done without this. Almost like naan with dip. Nothing special about it. Smoked fish dip- our server pushed us toward the little gem salad but we decided on this instead. We thought from previous pictures it came with roe on top. It did not. The dip itself was good but the chips were not fresh and crunchy and kinda chewy and stale. Would not order again. Mushroom crispy rice- for $48 this was good, but I think could have been done a lot better. I found it too salty. Shiitake mushroom normally has an almost sweet, umami flavor. The mushroom was cut too small and the salt was too overwhelming to let any of the original flavor shine. I was sad when the server broke and mixed the sauce and crispy rice for us because the crisp was lost within the first few minutes. Without the crisp this just becomes an overly salty rice dish. Ribeye- the best! Cooked well, Garlic confit to spread on each piece of meat, and a perfectly light tart bearnaise sauce on the side to balance. Would order this again. Dessert- Choco pot de creme- loved that the chocolate mousse was a little spicy. Felt the cream on top and mousse on top tasted good individually but made no sense together. Service was great until the end when we sat with empty plates and untouched food for quite a bit but our server walked by us several times busy doing closing side work before we were able to ask for the check and some boxes. Ambiance is chic Asian fusion. Mitsi is across the way if you wanted to grab a drink. Overall I'd come back but would probably order different things. I've heard the pork is good.

Allen C.

Went here a friends birthday celebration. Amazing food! Personally I wouldn't have ordered the boiled chicken. It was ok but not at the list price. The rest of the ensemble was amazing. Something you don't experience anywhere else! Amazing service. Received a lot of great recommendation! Love the place, nice and cozy spot. Dim lighting for the outdoor seating

I should have known that with the popularity of this place and it being a weekend night, a table would not be guaranteed. At first, there weren't any more tables available for the night. Luckily, the hostess Michelle was able to come up with not one, but two options for us: either counter space inside or a table that opened up outside. My friends and I decided to sit inside for a better ambiance. We ordered the kinilaw + plantain chips, ginataang kalabasa, chicken inasal, sisig, and a side of garlic rice. We were recommended to order 4-5 dishes as some portions were smaller, and everything was made for sharing. The kinilaw was unlike anything I've had before. I've had my fair share of crudos and ceviches, but this one just had such a unique blend of flavors that was both familiar and foreign at the same time. The ginataan was the same, utilizing the squash and coconut milk I grew up with, along with a new twist that made each bite so addicting. The other two dishes were great as well; the chicken juicy and flavorful with zesty sauces on the side, and the sisig crispy and not over the top in the way that makes you feel heavy after eating it. Free parking wasn't a problem since it was the evening and the streets were relatively empty. The restaurant sits inside a shopping center where most of its surroundings were closed by the time we arrived. Amazing food, service, and ambiance. With Filipino culture entering the mainstream in the past couple of years, there have been some flops with upscale Filipino food. Lasita is definitely not one of those places.

Funny enough, I actually discovered Firstborn by asking AI to recommend restaurants in Los Angeles with a good prix fixe menu. Firstborn came up, and they had reservations available, so we decided to give it a try. At $68 per person for the prix fixe menu, I thought the price was very reasonable for the quality and creativity of the food. The food was excellent, and what really stood out was how creative and unexpected the dishes were. Don't come here expecting traditional Chinese food just because of the name or concept. Instead, expect a unique take with interesting flavors and creative twists that make the meal feel different from your typical dining experience. The service was fantastic throughout the evening, and the cocktails were good as well. My only minor complaint was that the restaurant felt a little cold in terms of atmosphere (and temperature). The cocktails were also a bit on the expensive side, but those were relatively minor issues compared with how much we enjoyed the meal. We didn't mention that we were celebrating our anniversary, so there wasn't any special recognition, but that's entirely on us for not letting them know! Overall, Firstborn delivered a memorable dinner with creative food, excellent service, and a reasonably priced prix fixe menu. I'm glad I took a chance on an AI recommendation, and we'd definitely consider coming back!

However, it turns out they do not have fried chicken; they just have the chicken from the chicken sandwich. I have never seen such a thin piece of chicken! It's like they pounded that meat until it could be the thinnest possible to fry. It was not delicious, so I offered my friend to eat some of my Bolognese. We had a sub-par experience.
