Our Mahjong room was inspired by Tim’s love for Jackie Chan and the movie Rush Hour. In the famous scene where Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker walk through the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant on Crenshaw Boulevard, they enter a Mahjong gambling parlor run by Don Cheadle. That moment inspired the design of our Mahjong room in the back of Lucky Danger. The room features three automatic Mahjong tables that can be programmed for Chinese or American style.
Classes and table reservations are available for rent by the hour through OpenTable.
Classes occur weekly. Be sure to follow us on Instagram.
For groups of no more than 15 people interested in a private class, please contact us HERE! (3 weeks advance notice required)
