Mahjong Room

Chinese$$

Tired of barn-like Chinatown behemoths, brusque service and menus the size of War and Peace? Mahjong Room could be the answer to your prayers, compact and cute, with a sharp little menu and chirpy waiters happy to guide the uninitiated. Nibble on golden triangles of shallot pancake or vego-friendly black fungus, choy sum and tofu dumplings in a simple, delicate broth. San-dong chicken, with its crisp skin and juicy flesh bathed in light ginger-vinegar sauce, is a goodie, while sticky fingers are unavoidable with lush, sweet-vinegar pork belly ribs, dished up on a bed of Chinese cabbage and lotus root. Mahjong playlunches on the last Saturday of each month add to the fun.
