Love this place, a lot! Was Alastair minute for the Chinese New Year dinner, and the meal were just amazing! Enjoyed every single dish and have to say it’s really close to the hometown favours. And don’t get to start with the cocktails, just can’t stop drinking them.
It’s a very cute off street restaurant. We went here after a plan fell through and I really wanted Asian cuisine. The food is yummy (not delicious) but I do like how they have a small menu of diverse choices. The fried rice was so good! The drinks menu is great and the cocktails are a must try! Also great personalised service from the waiter

"Mahjong" is a type of 4-players game originated in China by using 144 small tiles. Mahjong Room was not only a restaurant, a gathering place to play Mahjong, but also a time machine taking you back to 1980s. Random 70s and 80s everyday Chinse household objects tastefully displayed around the restaurant, old table clocks, radios, facial basins, hot water flasks, etc, it truly was reminiscent of the long gone old times.
Fascinated by its nostalgic decor, I couldn't wait to try the food which consisted of dumplings, crispy chicken, salt pepper squid and last but not least deep fried ice-cream. Each course was delicately presented whereby you could see the attention to details and effort by chef. Each course was delicious and hit the spot. But I was most looking forward to deep fried ice-ream. It's a bit like having scotch eggs but with cold sweet ice-cream in the middle.
In my opinion the only thing this quaint and quirky restaurant stray from its Chinese authenticity is the nice polite gingerly service - no shouting, no abruptly landing food on the table, no fluorescent ceiling light, and no expressionless staff. Don't get me wrong, that was definitely a plus!
