Have a Seat. Shuffle Up. Let’s Play
Whether you're new to mahjong or grew up calling tiles, there's a seat for you. We offer lessons and open play, with a small reservation fee based on the choice of table and length of play.
Our go-to styles are Hong Kong and Japanese (Riichi)—but if your group prefers something like MCR, Filipino, or Taiwanese, we have the tiles and tables for any style.
Walk-ins are welcome, but we can’t promise a table without a reservation.

Common Questions
General
Is gambling allowed?
Nope. Our studio is not your shady Uncle's basement. Gambling, smoking, and vaping aren’t allowed in the studio. Respect the space, the game, and your fellow players.
I’m a beginner — is that okay?
Of course. But if you don't know how to play, you need to take a lesson first. If you book a table and someone in your group doesn't know how to play, they should book a lesson prior, or you can teach them during your table reservation. Find out more on our lessons page.
What kind of mahjong do you support?
Our tiles and tables support Asian-style play, including Hong Kong, Chinese, Filipino, and Japanese (Riichi) styles. We offer lessons for those same styles. Our auto tables can also support American-style play upon request.
Our "house style" is Hong Kong. If you have a group and prefer a style not offered on our website (such as American), please let us know in advance, and we'll set up an auto table for that style.
Do you teach Riichi?
We do! But unlike teaching Hong Kong-style, which is pretty straightforward and can be booked through our site, learning Riichi is...a process. Read more about our Riichi Lesson Series.
Can I bring food or drinks?
We don’t serve food upstairs, but you’re welcome to bring light snacks and beverages (nothing smelly or crumbly, please). You won't go hungry though — Atlanta Chinatown’s food court and restaurants are just downstairs. Amazing options, generous portions, unbeatable prices.
What's the parking situation?
Atlanta Chinatown in Chamblee offers abundant parking just seconds from our studio, and is free for all guests. How rare is that?
and...the bathroom situation?
Our bathrooms are clean, available only to upstairs guests, and are secured by a keycode.
Interested in Lessons?
So you’ve watched a few YouTube videos, stared at some mysterious tiles, and thought, “I want to learn this.” Or, maybe everyone in your family already plays and you're embarrassed you still don't know how. Good news — we’ll teach you!
Obligatory merch
Merch sales help us keep reservation costs low, replace parts when things eventually break, and keep the studio thriving. Plus, the chairs are padded. You’re welcome.

The studio
