Frequently asked questions
What Is "Asian-Style" mahjong?
There are different styles of mahjong, just like there are different versions of card games that share a common name — the rules can vary by region, culture, and tradition. We teach Asian styles — Hong Kong, Filipino, and Japanese Riichi — which are played worldwide. If you've never played before, we recommend starting with Hong Kong — it's the most beginner-friendly and gives you a foundation to try other styles later.
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 are "auto tables?"
Unlike a deck of cards, mahjong takes real setup. Every round, 144 tiles need to be flipped face-down, shuffled, and stacked into walls. Do that several times in a session and you're spending more time setting up than playing. Our automatic tables handle all of that for you. Push a button, the tiles drop in, shuffle themselves, and rise back up in perfectly built walls. It's the standard in mahjong parlors across Asia, and once you've played on one, you won't want to go back.
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 have cold water/sodas available for the whopping cost of one dollar. You’re welcome to bring light snacks and beverages too, but nothing smelly or crumbly, please.
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's the parking situation?
Plaza Del Sol offers abundant free parking for all guests. How rare is that?
and...the bathroom situation?
We have a clean, private bathroom in the studio available to all guests.
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!
Mahjong Tees & stuff
Merch sales help us keep reservation costs low, replace parts when things eventually break, and keep the studio thriving.
