Mr. Mahjong’s

Very disappointed after getting excited by the Instagram video ads. The drinks are overly sugary with barely any alcohol taste—like cheap casino cocktails. The crowd is super young, and there's hardly anything that ties the place to an Asian or Chinese theme, apart from some red lighting. Similar places like Dragon Horse are way better in comparison.

Disappointed that they didn’t have jager and they didn’t know what an Irish carbomb was. They also told my homie that they had ran out of modelo, but we could clearly see some in the fridges in the back. Sucks because the vibes were pretty cool in there on a Saturday night.

The drinks are amazing! Can’t wait for the mahjong tables to be set up!

Tasty cocktails. Great vibes.

Was here for a couple events and both times I found the drinks to be super sugary. Not a fan. The comedy show set up downstairs left us freezing!

Amazing happy hour drinks and food!

Went during Santa Con. Great music and drinks.

Super cute new Chinatown bar! Dim sum tapas, gorgeous decor, and delicious cocktails

Firstly, most bars in the City have a unique identity and differentiator that sets them apart from their competitors. Whether it's the theme, ambiance, or specialty drinks, you name it. Secondly, this spot is the real deal. It's been around since ~September 2024, and my buddies and I admire the excellent service. Music is primarily Bay Area-themed hip hop + R&B, with several nights centered on other genres (e.g., reggaeton, K-pop, throwbacks, etc.). The snack options are stellar, as you can get your typical chicken wings, fries, and grilled cheese to dim sum. The interior decor (of red lanterns) pairs well with the name of the establishment. Fun fact: they also host Mahjong nights in the downstairs section every once in a while! All in all, I'd come back here!

My friend recommended this place, so I wanted to check it out since I was in the area and it definitely didn't disappoint. The bar offers Asian-inspired drinks, and there were several others I'd like to come back and try. I came on a Friday night around 6:30 PM and it was empty. People didn't start trickling in until around 7:30 PM, and it looked like most of them were waiting for the DJ show downstairs to start (RSVPs needed for free entry). The drinks were good. I don't like my drinks to taste strongly of alcohol and prefer them on the sweeter side, and the three drinks my table had were solid. They weren't too strong on the alcohol flavor and paired well with the other ingredients. Green Gates: Rum-based cocktail. It was good, but I wish the sugarcane flavor was stronger. It tasted a bit watered down, with lime being the most prominent flavor. It honestly just tasted like a lime soda so you couldn't really tell there was alcohol in it. Shallow Moon: Gin-based cocktail. You could taste the alcohol a little more in this one. It wasn't too sweet, and the tea flavor really came through. Overall, a nice balance. Falling Mountain: Bourbon-based cocktail. This had the strongest alcohol taste of the three. The first sip had a smoky note, followed by Thai tea flavors that came in toward the end. Also good, just stronger alcohol taste than the others. Chicken Hand - One of their mocktails. Pretty good! It reminded me of a mango Yakult you'd get at a boba shop. Overall, I'd definitely come again. There are lots of other drinks I want to try because they all sound great. I didn't order any food, so I can't speak on that. The bar is located in the FiDi area, bordering Chinatown and near Plentea. Parking: Street parking, which can be hit or miss. I parked near Chinatown and walked about 12 minutes (note that there are some hills) Bathroom: Single-person bathroom upstairs. Relatively clean. (Probably another downstairs but I didn't check)

Good music, good drinks, a little tight but ambience is A1. Fun spot after dinner and some drinks.

The best bar in the city! This bar is so fun and always has good events like live djs, watch parties, and comedy shows. If you come early during the week they serve food and have a happy hour but its also fun on the weekends. The drinks are asian inspired and they have great service. I love throwing my events here!

Craving dim sum at night? Mr. Mahjong hits the spot with classic Asian bites like siu mai and summer rolls. The lychee cocktail was a standout. It's worth a visit if you're bar hopping around downtown!

So glad an Asian inspired opened in the bay!! It is located in Chinatown, parking isn't too bad I parked on the street. The bar was like a clubby vibe and thete wasn't that much space to walk around. The menu consists of many unique drinks. Service was amazing, the bartenders are super nice!! My friends and I got the red dragon, green gates and the shallow moon. All drinks were yummy. I see that they host many events so I will definitely be back!!

NIGHTIME- 1) 1 unisex restroom REALLY???? At a drinking establishment. I think necessities are more important than having a fancy new eastern designed establishment in dt to draw the western crowd. 2)So a bunch of girls thought they were funny when they were last in the back of the line and they thought it was hilarious to knock on the door even though they know the lines damn well near all the way to the center of the restaurant while everyone's waiting. Any one with decent moral values can see that you wait your turn like everybody else. SECURITY did NOTHING about it. When they started knocking on my door , I came out to confronted them to try to understand why they did what they did when obviously the users going to come out looking at the next person in line( I blamed the wrong person btw ). Of course now security pushes me away and tells me to leave. And no I wasn't drunk, needed a beer after that and left right away. Temple nightclub had the same problem with restrooms post pandemic, maybe they can learn from them. I don't usually leave reviews let alone bad reviews for bars. Eastern culture is big on politeness so please respect our culture. Love and respect.

3.5 STARS Millennial fossil here. There's been hype about Mr. Mahjong's, a new bar/club but I can't make it to 10 pm when the DJ starts spinning so this review is not about the nightlife. It's about escaping the sad lunch desk at work which is a completely different vibe. Mr. Mahjong softly opened in late August - chill lunch spot by day, HH after work, and a club after 10 pm (depending on the night, there may be a cover). Brought to you by the owner of Skylark. Open for takeout, delivery (B1, G1 free offers on UberEats), and indoor dining. There's two outdoor tables. M E N U Bar bites, dim sum, and bánh mì. I recognized the chef from Ben Tre, the sister of Mr. Gao. Currently, no HH specials. Kitchen closes at 8 pm on the weekdays and 10 pm on the weekends. Like Skylark, they charge a 10% service fee (not considered a tip) + 3% credit card fee. I wish they would just build these fees into their prices. F O O D * Popcorn Chicken Cartilage ($13) // 4 Stars: https://tinyurl.com/2effxsfh - Choice of regular or spicy (choose spicy) Fav item and perfect for the drunchies (I wasn't drinking tho) - hot and crunchy with a gelatinous chew. Very similar to sụn gà chiên giòn, Viet style chicken cartilage. The "chili" sauce is on the bottom and reminds me of sweet chili sauce so it's not spicy. The crunchy Korean style pickled radish gave refreshing in-between bites. * Har Gow: Shrimp Dumplings (4 pc - $9) // 3 Stars: https://tinyurl.com/4b9fvt55 Plump shrimp filling with a bouncy firm bite. The wrapper needs work tho, it was thiccc + gummy with holes and tears. * Bánh Mì Đặc Biệt: Combo Cold Cut w/ headcheese, pork belly, fancy pork, pâté ($11) // 3.75 Stars: https://tinyurl.com/yc8mppma Pretty good bánh mì with a good ratio of savory cold cuts to a crackly soft baguette (doesn't cut the roof of your mouth or shatter into crumbs) with fresh veggies (no jalapeno). I think they forgot the butter cut mayo because it was quite dry. Washed everything down with a club soda...$5 for a 7.5 oz can tho? Eeck. S E R V I C E Friendly and prompt. A M B I A N C E Formerly Topsy's Bar, Mr. Mahjong's has a similar dark moody vibe with updates to their artwork (Chinese inspired), red lighting, and furnishings. It's a small space so it feels more like a dive-y bar vs club. I was told the basement area is not open yet...maybe there will be more room for dancing there? Quiet during lunchtime so a good option if you need a space to escape the office. I was hoping they would have a hip hop or r&b playlist but they were playing some random genres. P A R K I N G Positive about coming here late night is easy street parking for your DD since it's in the FiDi. Overall, nice to see new places poppin' up in the FiDi. If you're looking for new scene, hit up Mr. Mahjong's!

Supes cute place to get drinks on a Friday night! We got espresso martinis and then a lychee spritzer which was amazinngg. We kind of showed up early so it was super chill, but as the night went on, there was a DJ and we had such a good time!

Treat yo self to a table at Mr. Mahjong's. Such a cute spot tucked in between Chinatown and financial district. A cute bar with tapas for any type of event you're celebrating. Want a place for happy hour? Look no further! Spacious enough to host work events or team outings. The new up and coming bar, even out of towners are looking to visit. Can't wait to bring my friends and coworkers here.

Place is super nice to hang out and get drinks Shay was very ehh good this night. Really liked the hip hop music. Service was okay :// we had a marquee sign but they didn't even come to the table with it they just passed by with it and walked away. And then another time they did it right and came to the table with it. The downstairs is cool too but there was an event happening so couldn't really scope it. Bathroom could be cleaner and nicer.

A late review from 11/1/2024: 7P on a drizzly Friday night, meeting another couple for drinks and snacks but no snacks on the evening we went. The kitchen crew were working elsewhere so only drinks were being served. Yummy drinks though - the bartender knows what he's doing. We sat along the wall opposite the bar to soak in the subdued mood and decor. This was still early in the evening so no music was on, which let us catch up with our friends without having to yell. Overall, an okay experience and we'll have to come back to try drinks WITH snacks!

Mr. Mahjong's is one of the newest Asian fusion bars in SF and a fun place to kick off a night of bar hopping with friends. The drinks are good and strong, but fair warning, they are pretty sweet. I've tried the Vietnamese coffee espresso martini, Mr. Mahjong's mojito, and Mr. Mahjong's jackfruit drop and liked them all. For some reason, the music at this bar reminds me of NYC, and the crowd reminds me of LA, but the decor and decadent drinks are uniquely SF, so it's overall such a vibe and worth checking out.

Stopped by Mr. Mahjong's during their soft opening and it was so lively! There is a host and security guard checking in everyone at the front of the bar, so I felt super safe going in. The bar is decorated with red lanterns and Chinese paintings. They serve a variety of Asian inspired cocktails and snacks like dim sum, Vietnamese sandwiches and chicken wings. They have live DJs every Friday and Saturday night that play a variety of genres like 2000s rnb, kpop, and more. I love coming here for a night out with friends and I'm happy to see this place bring downtown back to life!

It's a miss for me. This place is a bar that wants to be a club. Cover charge, expensive drinks, small shots. They also automatically added "service charge" on the bill, not sure if this is normal for the area? The place is slightly small and the Dj/dance floor situation was awkward. I think there is only 1 restroom so while we sat at the bar, a restroom line started behind us. I know they just opened so maybe things will change but not sure I'd be back, who knows.

Wow please, playing Mr. 305 on a Tuesday after the workday?!!???? Sign me up. Conveniently located in the Fidi, but the playlist?????!! intentionally killin it. Reasonably priced!

The espresso martini was really good and different as they used. Vietnamese coffee base. Good service and ambiance is fun.

A great addition to this part of the city - versatile lounge space that's the perfect spot to start (or end) your night out! They also serve food too, will be back to try that out.

Came here on a Saturday night during their second week of opening. They're charging a $10-20 cover fee per person which I was unaware of and none of it went to drinks. It was moderately lively inside and there's a live DJ who was playing rap and hip hop. Thought it'd be more like a chill bar setting where you could get drinks and catch up with friends but people were up and dancing. The design was Chinatown inspired but slightly dingy with the low lit red lighting and all black walls, not sure if I would come again.

Food is exceptional! A must when you are getting a couple drinks at the bar or even doing bottle service since they have platters for sharing great vibes with great people. 10/10 spot to pregame or even have a night out at with some friends!

New bar by FiDi with great cocktail, drinks, and food options. They have DJs playing vibing music every week. Definitely check it out after work for Happy Hour or a good time to spend with friends over the weekend!

I had so much hope for this place but was very disappointed. Pros: it was cutely decorated and the music was great. Cons: the drinks were not made well. It tasted very water down and the bartender did not know how to make a manhattan which is a classic drink. We were asked to move 2 times when we were originally told we can sit anywhere. It just became more of a nuance and disturb our environment of trying to go out. There is only one restroom that's shared among men/women so when we were moved the second time there was a line in front of our table. Also, it became very stuffy with bad air circulation. We ended up leaving.

In the last month I stoped by Mr. Mahjongs twice and I had a great time both nights. The first night I came with some friends after the free Zhu concert in Chinatown. It was fairly busy but the staff were quick and efficient. I really enjoyed the jackfruit drink as well as the jade drink. On my second visit I came for a very large event that normally overwhelms whichever bar we choose to visit for the month. Despite the ridiculously high volume of people the bar still managed to keep up. Props to the team for properly staffing the event and putting up with our crowd of 100+ people.

OMG, I'm OBSESSED with Mr. Mahjongs! It's THE new spot everyone is going to be talking about. The Asian-inspired decor is super cute, and the RnB vibes are IMMACULATE. The drinks? SO good! They're fun, delicious, and perfect for a night out with the girls. This place has that whole trendy, up-and-coming feel, and I can already tell it's going to be my new fave hangout. If you're looking for a cute spot to sip and vibe, Mr. Mahjongs is where it's at!

Although I've never played an actual game of mahjong in my life, I highly recommend this place. A complete transformation from what this location used to be. These new owners have really given the place quite the makeover from the culturally aesthetic decor, to the utterly amazing food - I tip my hat to you Chef! Great music, great people, fast service, bartenders are on it. This is definitely a place this city needs more of & we will definitely be returning.

People are going to go to Rickhouse for better drinks or Murphy's for cheaper drinks. Maybe they'll make it when the last two spots in this location didn't...a $20 mojito and one bored bartender on her phone doesn't make a place.

Really good music Food was great. The chicken cartilage with sauce was fire. Bartenders were really fast

Too early to tell; the bar had some super lit music at night and people were vibing but the space was kind of small and the limitation of 1 bathroom was kind of painful; I came at around 11/midnight and it got really painful but the crowd was really lit. I think if the amenities (space/bathroom) was better organized it would be a 10/10 place. Not sure on drinks -- I just took a bunch of shots lol.

Overall super fun bar to visit! When we went they had live music and the lychee drink was so stiff. The decor was okay but cuter than most dive-y bars and the service was pretty much what you'd expect from most bars (nothing to write home about).

This place is so extra in the best way possible. I never go out anymore but I'll definitely be coming back for another wild night

Seemed like a hip place with people having a good time. Unfortunately I'm old and was looking for food. I showed up too late and the kitchen was closed. The bouncer did give me a good rub down checking for weapons.

Great new bar that opened up in fidi. Friendly staff with great food and drinks. Highly recommend checking it out!

Good music and great time on the weekends. Need to visit on a weekday so can't comment on that.

Go to spot to get a table or just hit the bar with the homies! Fun vibe, attentive staff and fire dim sum.

Stumbled upon this new bar that just opened up in the Fidi district in the city. They had a dj blasting music all night and the food was reasonably priced. Come check these guys out if you're in the area.

A great new bar lounge in SF. Energy in here is great and service is speedy. From drinks to food, everything comes quick so you can get back to enjoying the night with your friends.

Wanted to like this but it hit the mark for me. It felt a little bare bones and the service was lacking, they didn't even check in to take an order until we asked 15 min later (the place was not busy).

My wife and kids enjoyed lunch!The food wasn't too expensive and it was a nice lunch adventure for all of us. The kids recommend Mr.Mahjongs!

Mr. Mahjong's offers an unforgettable experience with vibrant flavors that perfectly blend tradition and creativity. The lively atmosphere, great music, and friendly service make it the perfect spot for a night out with friends in SF!

Be careful and double check your tab before you pay. Especially if you are doing a event or have a large group. We had a bunch of mystery drinks on our tab but we didn't notice until after we paid and left.

Came here last Friday and wow was I surprised! Great bar with good food. The ambiance was good vibes all around

THIS NEW SPOT IS SICK!! If you're looking for fun night out, look no further. Amazing drinks bar/lounge food, and music! We went during their soft opening and it was awesome. Even though they just opened up, it seems like they know what they're doing. Everything was super smooth even though it was extremely busy all night!

Came by during a weeknight and had a great time, the decor is nice and friendly staff, the banh mi is definitely one of the best in SF!Paired it with a couple drinks by the bartender Corey. I also went on the weekend when they had a k-pop night and it was packed with fun and people, had an amazing night and can't wait to go back!!

Their Signature cocktails are adorable and delicious and perfect for girls night. It's chill on the weekdays and live DJ on the weekends brings in a turned up Bay Area vibe w the music and people. & most importantly; yummy food tht hits the spot after a few drinks.
