Mahjong in Los Angeles
LA's mahjong scene basically has two things going on. Longtime community play, especially in the San Gabriel Valley, and a newer wave of players turning the game into more of a pop-up thing.
A recent SGV event covered by LAist brought younger and older players to the same table. That kind of cross-generational mix is a big part of what keeps the SGV scene grounded. On the other end, the Los Angeles Times spotlighted an L.A.-based pop-up brand leaning into nostalgia to build events that feel different from your average game night.
We have 2 LA clubs on Bam Good Time: American Mah Jongg and Tiles & Smiles with Georgina and Sheri. Tiles & Smiles in particular is friendly to beginners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know how to play American mahjong before joining a club in Los Angeles?
Most clubs welcome beginners and will walk you through the basics. It's worth reaching out to a club directly to ask about their experience level and whether they offer any intro sessions.
Is the L.A. mahjong scene more American-style or Chinese-style?
Both traditions have a presence here, especially given the large Asian American community in the SGV. The clubs listed on this directory focus on American mahjong, so expect the National MahJongg League card and rummy-style scoring.
Where do most Los Angeles mahjong clubs meet?
It varies — some meet in private homes, others in community centers or rented spaces. Check each club's listing for location details, as they can change seasonally.
How much does it cost to join a mahjong club in Los Angeles?
Many social clubs charge little to nothing, though some may ask for a small fee to cover venue costs or the annual National MahJongg League card. Ask the host when you first reach out.
Are there mahjong events or pop-ups in LA beyond regular club play?
Yes — events like SGV community gatherings and party-style pop-ups do pop up around town. Following local organizers on social media is usually the best way to catch those.
