Best contemporary Chinese restaurant in Plano and North Dallas. Great classics with a cozy and chic atmosphere and friendly staff. I also have great respect for their working hours as a local business owner. Keep in mind Lunch is only served till 2:30pm and you must order before 2pm otherwise the kitchen will be closed. Will be going back again

The service and food were outstanding. Fresh, prepared perfectly, presented very well. Pace was very good. Flavors and styles of preparation for all 4 of us - with varied appetizers, entrees and dessert - was perfect.
I think Mahjong has the best Chinese food in the metroplex if not the state. Everything is always cooked to perfection. The waitstaff is very attentive and accommodating. They act like they want you to be there.

I came here bc lots of ppl on Facebook recommended this place as one of the best authentic Chinese food here. Unfortunately, this is quite Americanized. The service was great and the ambiance I adored! But for example, the san bei chicken did not taste or even look like the one I grew up with. The sauces were all sweeter and thicker, and the ones that said spicy had zero heat. The soup dumplings and famous chicken dumplings were good. They were dim sum size though, which I didn’t expect and they only give you four. Being that we’re in Plano with a large Asian population, it was interesting to me that the entire Asian restaurant was packed, and yet I was the only Asian person eating there at the time. They have Dan Dan Noodles on the menu, but instead of calling it by that name, they Americanized it to “garlic sesame noodles.” To me, this is like if we changed the name fajitas to “skillet beef with onions and peppers.” The restaurant seems to be doing awesome, and I love that for the people who work there! And I’m glad there’s a local restaurant for people who want Americanized Chinese food. But as far as authentic Chinese food recommendations, this is far from it.

The ONLY thing that was unacceptable was the fact that EVERY server that came close to our table would NOT make eye contact. We had reservations and were seated within 10 minutes. While we were waiting for our table, other groups were coming in without reservations. We were seated, but after 30 minutes of not getting acknowledgement, I finally waved down the reservation manager at the front desk. He ended up serving us and did a good job. The food was excellent as always. But it did NOT erase the fact that two or three servers totally ignored us. There were two tables leaving and had already signed their checks and people who did not have a reservation were enjoying their beverages but we still had not been acknowledged, let alone served anything. The manager would do well to train his employees and tell them what I told my grown family members working as servers. Never, ever ignore customers. Make eye contact and put your finger up to indicate you saw them and will get to them soon. Then do your best to, at the very least get them water. The dinner ended up being great, but the first part of the dinner left a lot to be desired. And yes. I have served. As a waitress and a flight attendant.

Had last minute Valentine's reservation and Mah Jong really came through (as always). The wait staff was busy busy but attentive to all. Food was excellent and fresh, wine was flowing. Thanks so much, Mah Jong, for always coming through !

The most consistently excellent restaurant in our experience. Food and service are always amazing! Many regulars and often quite busy! We continue to try new dishes each visit and all are delicious and worthy of recommendation. We love this place and always look forward to a great night out at Mah-Jong.

The food here is so delicious and high-quality and the staff are very friendly and attentive! They provided excellent service. We really enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back!
We have been dining at Mah Jong ever since they opened. They are one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants. We did notice on our last visit though that the portion size of all of our appetizers and entrees has decreased in size. Not happy about that since the prices are not inexpensive.

Place is so good! Ambience is peaceful and nice. The staff are so friendly and prompt. Really good jasmine tea and the famous chicken dumplings ? and the sauce are bomb!

The best Chinese food in Texas!! We love the food and the staff!!! The Merlot Beef is actually filet mignon with fresh vegetables. We have NEVER been disappointed! From the Egg rolls, to the egg drop soup, to the Merlot Beef, you will wonder how this place stays such a hidden gem! Spectacular !

This is authentic and beautifully made Chinese food. The food is consistently great, and the pricing is very reasonable. It is, however, not especially large, so for weekends, reservations are a good idea. The service is also excellent. I highly recommend Mah-Jong.

The service was very attentive. The food was great except the lettuce in the salad needed to be washed. We also had orange chicken (amazing and spicy), cubed tenderloin special (fantastic).
