Our experience at Mahjong was outstanding. The service was impeccable and the food phenomenal. They were also incredibly accommodating of the Gluten Free dietary requirements of one of our party, modifying the dishes if feasible and providing separate sauces. All of the dishes were cooked to perfection, the fish was silky and flavoursome, the beef was tender and juicy, and the dumplings were gorgeous. If you are in the area you should absolutely go to Mahjong.
