Get A Table At The Hottest Restaurants In LA With Chase Sapphire Reserve - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"While the food at David Chang’s first LA restaurant can generally be categorized as Korean, Majordomo isn’t strictly a Korean restaurant. It’s somewhere you go to eat food you can’t get anywhere else. If there’s another restaurant in LA where you can eat bing with smoked roe, deep-fried stuffed peppers, macaroni pasta with black truffles, and a giant spicy pork shoulder that feeds six people in one sitting, we don’t know it. And that’s the difference at Majordomo—it’s not the individual plates that are going to necessarily surprise you. It’s the cumulative effect of the whole meal, where dishes that should have no business being on your table together leave you thinking it’s the only way they should ever be served." - team infatuation

The 18 Best Restaurants In LA’s Chinatown - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"​​Located on a quiet industrial stretch of northern Chinatown, this expansive Korean restaurant (from the people behind NYC’s Momofuku) is a flat-out blockbuster. The whole experience feels like a well-oiled machine, and the food blends traditional Korean dishes with some fun twists (like sausage-stuffed peppers with ranch dip). It's also a good idea to bring a crowd: The best things on the menu (like the spicy pork shoulder) are Majordomo’s large plates, which feed four to six.

"Sequestered inside a former warehouse on the industrial fringe of Chinatown, majordōmo pulsates with energy, especially from the open kitchen. Reservations can be a challenge to land online, but gamblers can test their luck by trying for one of the few counter seats on a walk-in basis. Is it worth the hype? You know it. Its singular take on Asian cuisine delivers hit after hit. The menu zigs and zags through numerous sections; enjoy the refreshing melon salad bobbing in a fish sauce vinaigrette from the snacks section and go for the spicy fusilli with kimchi sauce, pork jowl and parsley from the noodles menu. It's easy to make a meal from the many smaller courses, while the main dishes are designed for sharing." - Michelin Inspector

The 9 Best Espresso Martinis In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"The espresso martini is probably the last drink that needs to be geek-ified, but if you’re going to trust one place to apply a little culinary wizardy to the grad school Four Loko, it’s Majordomo. The walk-in-friendly bar at this Chinatown restaurant goes the United Nations route with its recipe, combining Japanese vodka, aged Caribbean rum, Italian espresso liqueur, and a dash of house-made soy sauce. The final touch is a thin layer of shio koji whipped cream on top, which adds a subtle umami flavor that leaves you smacking your lips—we wouldn’t quite call it a savory espresso martini, but it’s close.
