Mahjiku › Where to play › Toronto
For the table game: four players, real tiles, Hong Kong style — not the solitaire puzzle.
We found 6 places to play mahjong in Toronto and checked each against its own page or a published listing: 4 run Hong Kong-style tables and 2 don't say which style they play. For a first game, start with Toronto Mahjong Social Club (Hong Shing x Tiger Den Creative), Again Again and Tsung Tsin Association of Ontario — they teach or seat beginners. Toronto has a fast-growing young Hong Kong-style scene downtown and an older Cantonese and Hakka community base in Scarborough and Markham, where one association still teaches old-style scoring. 2 more places play Riichi (Japanese) and American mah jongg — a different game, listed separately below.
Hong Kong-style places first, then the ones that mix styles or don't say. Each row links the place itself and the page we read it from, with the date we read it.

Every table plays its own house rules, and these are the ones the places above publish themselves. Agree them before the first hand, not after the first win.
These play a different game from a Hong Kong table — different hands, a different count. Listed so you know which is which before you book.
