Maybe a spinoff thread for “Best Restaurant Bread in L.A. (Non-Bakery, Gratis or Otherwise)” or something to that effect, would be good? Will flag myself for the Mod to see it and decide…

New dish last night - mushroom crispy rice. They were doing R&D in the kitchen earlier in the day and sent one out for us to try for dinner. Probably hits the reg menu soon
A cornucopia of different mushroom finished off with a smoked mushroom broth. INSANELY good. Super savory. Depths of umami for days and the contrast of the soft meaty mushrooms and the crispy rice were chef’s kiss We had the corn crispy rice next to it and it slaughtered it.
Sorry no pic/video. I took a video of them pouring broth, but I didn’t notice that the iPhone 13 pro keeps trying to auto adjust for macro, so looked like I was having a seizure while taking the video.

Warrior: I haven’t been impressed by much of the stuff on the left side of Majordomo’s menu (bings, veggies, sashimi). Much of the stuff on the right side of the menu has been really good (duck rice, boiled chicken, and black cod come to mind). It’s a nice restaurant. No reason to be too critical.

If that were true, what would we do all day?

how good can boiled chicken possibly be?
You’ve never had great Hainanese chicken rice? Calling it “boiled chicken” is a joke. It’s actually poached in a great broth.

Well then maybe David Chang shouldn’t call it, “Boiled chicken” on his menu if he doesn’t want people to think it’s a joke. The only joke I see is the price.
Perhaps I’ll try it one day at a more reasonable price someplace else.

I am always afraid to ask if this is irony (but I might know unfortunately the answer)

Seems like a pretty straightforward name meant to evoke the warm comfort of a type of dish found in many Asian cultures in various iterations, most of which are fucking delicious. 
The rest of the menu is equally simple - steamed whole rockfish, heirloom tomatoes, etc. The boiled chicken is also technically two dishes that feed multiple people, with the chicken over rice and a soup with hand-torn noodles. Family-style serving and priced accordingly. For comparison, a large chicken kalguksu at Hangari goes for ~$60, I believe.

I have no issue with the name, it seems Robert didn’t bother to read the menu’s description of the dish.
Whole rockfish doesn’t sound too simple to me, if I’m going out to eat that sounds like a much more interesting option to get.
I read multiple reports about the dish here and elsewhere before I ate it myself. How about you stop posting in topics you haven’t bothered to read?
Nothing wrong with ordering the steamedwhole rockfish, but if you do so on the theory that the chicken is too simple, that would be an uninformed choice.

Ultimately, the short rib dish was just…too rich for me. The fat levels were just far higher than I’m used to, and while I liked it, I found myself craving the idealized versions of the two components of the fusion: a great kbbq meal or a texas style bbq feast. I found the rice honestly nearly inedible given the fat levels, though everyone else at my table finished theirs.
I loved the fried shishitos with the sausage, the stone fruit salad, and the bing with spicy lamb. I think if I went back, and I would, I would do more of the small dishes, one of the crispy rices, and call it a day.
Oh, and the matcha trifle was horrendous in my view, but I knew it would be and was outrageously outvoted at my table and forced to get it!
