"Here in the Bay Area, the growth is particularly notable, with mahjong gatherings happening nearly every day of the weeknot to mention frequent pop-ups and community events throughout the region. One of those leading the surge is San Francisco's The Mahjong Movement, an organization born with the hope of promoting empathy and compassion for Asian culture and community and bringing together people from different communities and age groups."
"I was looking for a way to bridge connections with Asian elders and the Bay Area community, says founder and president Lily Ho. It brings me joy when I see people of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds sitting at a table together, playing a shared game. The Mahjong Movement now hosts events and pop-ups across the region in partnership with venues like The Jay Hotel and the Asian Art Museum."
"Mamahuhu hosts Mahjong Mondays at all four of their restaurant locations in Inner Richmond, Noe Valley, Mill Valley, and the recently opened Palo Alto. Each week, they bring people from all walks of life together over a beginners' table and open table play. The restaurant by chef Brandon Jew crafts the perfect snacks for play: Chinese-American takeout classics from perfectly crunchy sweet-and-sour chicken to a delightful pineapple bun chicken sandwich. Don't forget to end your game with one of their iconic chop suey sundaes."
