Nothing personal, but Mahjong Bar outlived its trendy appeal within the ten minutes that we were there. The hype, the long wait in line, the exposed brick and fusion menu are all staples of a bumping locale - but Mahjong Bar somehow managed to make all of this a hackneyed parody instead.
After waiting more than forty minutes in line, we were told we would need to grab a place at the bar. So we sidled up to a cramped bar and watched the uninspiring bartender languidly rattling shakers and reusing ice and strainers. The drinks, of course were equally average. My tame impala tasted more like it had been not only tamed, but castrated and saddled.
Overall, not worth the wait.
