this dish reminded me of a sauceless nam prik ong with a bit more texture. the meati was nicely spiced and flavored, the fried nori rice crackers acted like chicharrones. this would go well in a bolognese or crispy taco.
(new) iberico pork - spring onion, fish sauce, lime
pork juicy and tender and just as good as the excellent pork chop that they did briefly, only thing missing was the fat cap. dipping sauce was like a thai crying tiger sauce, goes great with a bowl of wish there were more grilled onions.
I really enjoyed this. I didn’t tell anyone what it was when I ordered it, they just saw “steak”, so I asked for everyone’s opinion after. Everyone loved it. Then I told them it was mushroom based and they were all pretty shocked.
The Salsa Seca with Fried Shrimp was very good when I had it a couple weeks ago.
The shrimp was fried similar to Lotus of Siam with crispy shells and head. Our bartender mentioned that the flavor was inspired by Japanese/Korean snacks. Sort of tasted like a combination of furikake and honey sesame crackers.
I went here recently, and while it’s pretty good the prices are absolute insanity.
There is no universe where that wagyu zabuton was worth $82, but those fries were delicious. Just not worth it for me based on other places I’ve been to that have similar prices
It’s not the cut of meat, I just didn’t find anything special with how they flavored or did anything to the steak. Had much better steaks in the 55-70 price range so was expecting to be “wow’d”.
I’d rather go to Republique or a Nancy Silverton restaurant if I’m paying higher end prices
My point is that that steak dish is expensive because that cut costs a lot, not because Majordomo’s prices are higher than other restaurants. Generally wagyu seems like a bad value to me.
wish there were more grilled onions.
but hopefully not.
