We keep it to 28 people, so it stays the kind of room where you end up talking to the person next to you.
Grab a drink, sit down, and learn American Mahjong from a passionate teacher who actually wants you there.
Walk in and the tables are already set, the tiles are out, your game card is waiting, and there's music playing.
Mahjong and Music is a lounge, not a classroom

Our Mahjong Experiences
Meet Your Instructor
Justin Koochof
Justin has been playing mahjong for over a decade and it shows in how he teaches. He's patient with beginners, genuinely excited when the game finally clicks for someone, and happy to explain the same hand three times without making you feel like you're slowing anyone down. Most people leave their first night already planning when they're coming back.
Testimonials
Ana Maria, Northridge
"Such a fun experience! I hosted a private Mahjong & Music event with a group of friends, and everything was so easy and enjoyable. Justin made the game simple to understand, kept everyone engaged, and made the whole night feel relaxed and social. On top of that, they had a great taste in music. We're already talking about doing another one."
Bianca, Chatsworth
"I had always wanted to learn Mahjong, but thought it would be confusing. Justin explained everything in a way that was really easy to follow, and by the end, I actually felt comfortable playing on my own. It was such a fun way to learn."
Kelsey, Simi Valley
Such a welcoming and fun Mahjong club! As a beginner, I really appreciated how patient and helpful everyone was with teaching the game and making it feel easy to jump in. It’s more than just playing Mahjong, it’s a wonderful way to meet new people, connect, learn, and have a great time. I’m so glad I came and can’t wait to play again! 🀄️💕
FAQ
Common Questions
Do I need any experience?
Do I need my own set or game card?
Can I come by myself?
How many people are in a session?
No. Most people who walk in have never played, and the whole session is built around that. You'll be playing real hands your first night.
Nope. Tables, tiles, racks, and your American mahjong card are all here and set up before you arrive. Just bring yourself.
Yes, and plenty of people do. We'll seat you with a group. It's a social room, so showing up alone is normal here.
We cap it at 28, which keeps things intimate and means you actually get help when you need it.
