David Chang's Majordomo in Chinatown mixes modern Korean flair with California vibes, serving up shareable meat and noodle dishes in a lively industrial-chic setting.
"Majordomo is an OK place for a date where you’ll sit at the bar and have a couple of cocktails alongside some very good modern Korean food. But when you come with a crowd, Majordomo becomes a fantastic restaurant. That way, you’ll sit at one of the enormous round tables and, more importantly, you’ll have an excuse to order at least one of the truly excellent large format dishes. The bone-in short rib is $190, but divide that by eight and it’ll only cost $23.75 a head. Which leaves enough room for you to order sausage-stuffed peppers, Chinese flatbreads, and some noodles too." - jess basser sanders, brant cox
"Momofuku, the David Chang-founded restaurant group behind Chinatown’s Majordomo, is opening a 200-seat restaurant called Super Peach at the Westfield Century City in spring 2025." - Matthew Kang
"The upscale Korean restaurant is offering pre-ordered meals for pick-up Friday through Sunday from 3-6pm. The menu changes weekly, but you can generally expect marinated meat kits, fried chicken specials, and plenty of to-go cocktails. Ordering goes live every Monday at 3pm, so set a reminder now." - brant cox, kat hong
"Majordomo is a showstopper of a restaurant, which - in this town - means it has a beautiful warehouse space, servers who will pour melted cheese over short rib next to your table, and a handful of celebrities in the corner. Before you start rolling your eyes and thinking we don’t need any more of those restaurants in LA, know that this Korean-ish restaurant in Chinatown is the best possible kind of showstopper. This is a place to come with a big group of friends and order giant $190 pieces of meat as you look around the room and realize that’s exactly what everyone else is doing here too." - jess basser sanders, brant cox
"Playful menu of Korean California cooking. Highlights include bings served with dips and spreads, mushroom crispy rice, perfectly grilled Ibérico pork, and pandan pie with caramelized sugar topping." - Eater Staff
