A space to learn & play Asian-style mahjong
Open most Saturdays & Sundays at 1 PM & Weeknights by Request
Have a Seat. Let’s Play.
Whether you're new to mahjong or grew up calling tiles, there's a seat for you. We offer lessons, leagues, events, and table reservations on automatic tables.
Our house styles are Hong Kong, Riichi, and Filipino — but if your group plays something else, we can accommodate.
Lessons, Leagues, & gROUP tABLES
Learning? We offer beginner, advanced, and private lessons. Ready to play? Join a league, sign up for an event, or reserve a table for your group.
Frequently asked questions
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.
What lesson should I take first?
If you've never played mahjong, we recommend starting with our Hong Kong Beginner Lesson. Want to know why? Check out our blog post on mahjong styles.
What kind of mahjong do you support?
Our tiles and automatic tables support Asian-style play, including Hong Kong, Filipino, and Japanese (Riichi) styles. We offer lessons for those same styles. Our auto tables can also support American-style play upon request.
How can I find people to play with?
By signing up for one of our leagues! Each league runs for a set "season," giving you a built-in group to play with and plenty of chances to meet new players. Join our newsletter to hear when new leagues open.
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.
Four Sunday Matches!
Welcome to The Chicken (hand) League — the friendliest way to level up your Hong Kong Mahjong skills!
If you’ve just finished the Beginner Class and want a relaxed place to practice, laugh, and finally feel comfortable playing live, this is your next step. No pressure, no complicated scoring, just fun, social games designed to build confidence one “chicken hand” at a time.
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
Our quiet studio in Chinatown is a mahjong player's oasis. Clean, cozy, lots of automatic tables, and numerous food vendors just downstairs when it’s time for a break.
