Chinatown LA Community Events

RSVP and payment through Meetup is required to attend this event. Tickets will not be sold at the door or on the day of the event. This event will take place on the first floor of an accessible building.

Learn how to play Hong Kong-style mahjong in a non-competitive setting. This club is open to people wishing to learn how to play mahjong with no prior experience. Some members of this club have attended previous meetings and returned to practice their skills before attempting to play more advanced mahjong events around LA. For beginners or those needing a refresher, an optional introductory mahjong presentation and demonstration will be given at 6:30 PM. Most people are able to play (and win!) mahjong on their own after this presentation. Guided gameplay with other new players is offered after the presentation.

Due to the need for 4 people per mahjong table and to avoid people reserving a seat but failing to show up, we cannot offer refunds. If you plan to attend the class, please be on time as lessons will promptly begin at 6:30 PM.

Parking: There is no parking offered at our location, so please be prepared to find street parking or use a paid parking lot. The most affordable parking lot is $5 at Mandarin Plaza (986 N Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90012). They close at 10 PM. An additional paid parking lot is on Broadway next to Wonder Bakery. Metered street parking is free after 8 PM. Due to events in Chinatown, parking lots and street parking are sometimes full, so please be prepared during major holidays and popular events.

Transportation: The LA Metro Chinatown Station services the A Line lightrail and is located a block away from our club. Several popular LA Metro bus lines serve Chinatown Plaza and will drop you off on the same block as our club. Some of the buses include: 4, 45, 81, 90, 94, DASH Lincoln Heights/Chinatown Clockwise and the DASH B.

The $15 fee will be used to maintain the space and purchase more mahjong equipment. If you wish to pay via another method, please message us or message Peter directly.

Come hang out, play board games, make friends, and enjoy a fun community night in Chinatown.

New players are welcome! We play a mix of modern board games that are easy to learn, social, and fun for all experience levels.
Not into games? We’ll also have an arts and crafts area with supplies, plus space to work on your own projects. Yes, you can bring your art project to work on! It will not be weird.

Bring a game, join a game, bring snacks to share for the potluck.

Admission: $10 at the door. Your contribution helps us cover the space and keep the event going!
