About Our Studio
Finally, a place just for mahjong in NYC! Our automatic tables can accommodate multiple styles of mahjong. If you and your friends know how to play, all you have to do is walk in. We also offer lessons and special and regular events for those who don't already have a group.

Take a Lesson
Start your mahjong journey under the guidance of our expert teachers! No prior knowledge is needed, and it's not just a lecture - you'll be shuffling tiles and playing through several hands as you learn

Make New Mahjong Friends
We have two regular meetups perfect for dropping in, meeting great new people, and playing games. Hong Kong style is played on alternating Sundays, and Riichi on alternating Saturdays
