Mahjong Chinese Kitchen

Santhosh Jayakumar

Our first visit as a family and we loved the experience. Food was served within 5-7 minutes which impressed us. For silverware, they gave us a fork and chop sticks. We didn’t use appetizers and went for the main course - Tofu and Veg Lomein was because of a vegetarian in the group. Sesame Chicken was picked based on reviews here, the Beef Noodles was picked by our daughter. We took an extra bowl of rice and with that, we could easily do family style across 5 of us. We had some Noodles and Tofu left which was packed by the server. Only downside for us was the server not giving us a recommendation when we wanted to pick between 2 vegetarian options. The answer was, “some people like XYZ”. We eventually went with our gut feel and picked the Tofu. The server also missed one item in our order, which we figured when the order was summarized before it was sent to the kitchen. Good food and great service results in word of mouth advertising - we promptly shared the experience in our sub division’s WhatsApp group!! Hope to be back and see great consistency in quality of food and service.

I ordered the Merlot Beef and Lemongrass Shrimp, and both dishes were outstanding! The Merlot Beef was incredibly tender, with a rich, flavorful sauce that had just the right balance of sweetness and depth. The Lemongrass Shrimp was fresh and perfectly cooked, with a bright, citrusy flavor from the lemongrass that made it really refreshing. Everything was well-prepared, and the portions were generous. I’ll definitely be ordering again soon—highly recommend!

Absolutely incredible service. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. The people who work here are so very kind and friendly. They made the experience so enjoyable. Quality restaurant, we will definitely be back.

First time visiting here with my family and we all loved it so much! One of best Chinese food I ever had! Manager was super nice and we are definitely coming back later.

Menu features both traditional Chinese and American Chinese dishes. The fried rice and sesame chicken were phenomenal🤩. I will be craving those dishes later.

The restaurant is cute and clean, servers are very attentive. They recommended popcorn shrimp and red devil beef which are surprising good. Highly recommend.

I got sesame chicken and moo shu beef for pickup. There was a rush when I arrived and they were a little behind, but the owner (I assume) offered me a seat at the bar and brought me a cup of water to drink while I was waiting (I didn't ask for this, he just did it out of concern). It was really nice to see him care so much about a minor delay. The food was excellent--so much flavor in the moo shu that you barely needed any hoisin sauce. Even my wife who never orders anything but sesame chicken gave the moo shu a thumbs up. Would love to come here again.

Decided to give this place a shot and I’m glad I did. I would definitely be going back. It’s hard to find good Chinese food in McKinney but this one is a good one. I had the combination fried rice, salt, pepper, shrimp, and the calamari. All of it was flavorful And decent portions.

Best Chinese restaurant around! I’ve been here many times and am very pleased every time! The only downside is sometimes the fried chicken is a bit overcooked, but never to where it’s not edible. Thank you Mah Jong!

Best Chinese food I've found in this area! It is on the pricey side but worth it. Best Mongolian Beef ever- veryflavorful, tender beef. Mu Shu Pork was excelllent, orange chicken was very good but a little spicy. Fried rice was average. I'm excited to try more option. Did take- out so no feedback on in house dining/ service

This has got to be the best Chinese food restaurant i have been to in a long time. The food was freshly prepared and delicious. The egg rolls and dumplings came out hot and freshly made. The beef and chicken dishes were very tender. The hot and sour soup was amazing. You won’t go wrong with this place!

The food and service was great. I got the all in fried rice and also had the egg drop soup. Both were delicious, I will definitely be back to try other items off of their menu in the future. It is also conveniently located for me.

Tried Mah-Jong Chinese Kitchen for dinner and it absolutely delivered. We started with the pan-seared dumplings, and they were the perfect opener—beautiful golden crust, still juicy inside, and great with the soy dipping sauce. Exactly what you want from a pan-seared dumpling: crisp on the bottom, tender on top, and packed with flavor. For the main dishes, the Singapore noodles were a standout. The noodles were wok-fried nicely (not soggy), loaded with shrimp, and had that savory curry-style flavor that keeps you going back for another bite. Super shareable and a great “balance” dish if you’re ordering a couple of spicy items. Speaking of spicy—don’t sleep on the Red Devil Chef Special. It came out sizzling-looking and bold, with a deep red sauce and peppers/onions, served over crispy rice. It’s one of those dishes that’s messy in the best way and definitely a “signature” type order if you like heat and big flavor. We also tried a garlic fish dish (fried fish pieces with onions and dried chiles in a garlicky sauce), and it was excellent—crispy, flavorful, and a great option if you want seafood with some punch. Overall: great variety, strong flavors, and everything came out hot and fresh. If you’re coming for dinner, I’d 100% recommend doing it family-style and ordering a mix like we did (dumplings + noodles + one spicy chef special + a fish dish). We’ll be back.

It took me a long time to try this place because it always seemed a bit mysterious. One couldn't see inside through the windows and entrance was somewhat hard to spot. We finally ordered takeout today though and enjoyed all three dishes. Singapore Rice Noodles and Beef Flat Noodles tasted as they should, with tender beef. We knew the Orange Beef wouldn’t be as crispy as it would be dining in but it was still good for takeout. Lunch portions were just right, allowing us to sample multiple items. We’d definitely return for a proper dine-in meal.

Located on Custer in front of the Home Depot in McKinney. If there was an option for half stars this would have been 3.5 stars. I did take out so there might have been an issue with food being packed up. This was my first time here and I was excited to hear about some good Chinese food in the area finally. I went very basic on this first visit to get a feel for how they do with the everyday items. My order was the famous Szechuan chicken dumplings and sweet and sour chicken. I requested fried rice with the sweet and sour chicken when ordered online. I don’t get that just white rice. I liked how they had the items separated for take out so it wouldn’t get soggy. The chicken looked great in the box. It was a bit soft though which might have been from steaming in the to go box. The flavor was very good although the breading because it was soft didn’t hold up great. The dumplings looked like any other dumpling but these were extremely tasty. It came with their special Szechuan sauce that was excellent. The issue was the amount of sauce which was about a tablespoon. The tiny container it came in was 1/4 full. I would have loved more of the sauce. I felt pricing was on the high side with the small portion size I received. This was not off the lunch menu. Overall the smaller portion didn’t feel like a very good deal but everything tasted very good and I would like to try something else from the menu and eat at the restaurant.

The only dish that tasted fresh was the fried rice. Everything else did not feel very authentic or suited to Asian tastes. I do not recommend the Beijing duck at all. The duck was not very fresh, the portion was small with only a few pieces, and the wraps were also not fresh. Overall, this restaurant was not for me

The food was okay and twice the price it should be, hence 3 stars. My main complaint is with the lack of organization and bad customer service. Once you arrive at the location, the fact that they are closed from 2:30 until dinner time is obvious because it is posted on the door. However, they accepted a 2pm reservation over the phone and did not state that we would have 15 minutes to order and 30 minutes to eat! They also had the audacity to ask us to leave after rushing us through our meal. Very tacky. I will not be returning.

We are really missing the previous Chinese restaurant establishment before this new place took over. We decided to order take out. The portion is so small compared to the cost. The main course cost around $22-25. The small portion can be overlooked if the food had a delicious taste. It was so salty. Calamari was very hard abs chewy. The spicy chili chicken was lacking the spicy kick. We do not recommend this place if you are wanting take out Chinese food. We should have not to order as soon as we saw the very limited menu options but we thought to give it a try. We will be ordering from different restaurants from now on. It was disappointing.

The oil they use is clearly old — everything tastes greasy and has a bad smell. The ingredients are not fresh either; most of the dishes seem to be pre-made and reheated, so the texture is hard and dry. The food doesn’t taste clean or appetizing at all, and it’s way overpriced for what you get. Honestly, even Panda Express tastes much better and feels fresher. Definitely not coming back.

I visited last Saturday with my family and was very pleased with both the food and the service. We had such a positive experience that I decided to return today (Tuesday) to celebrate a friend’s birthday, hoping to enjoy the same level of service and quality. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing from the start. When we asked a question about the menu, the server (a woman) responded with noticeable rudeness and frustration, which immediately made us feel unwelcome. We ordered from the lunch menu—orange chicken and shrimp. When the shrimp dish arrived, we were surprised to find it consisted of only five very small shrimp, especially compared to the generous portion of chicken. We politely asked if we could change the order to something else, and while another staff member agreed, the female server again treated us rudely. When she brought the replacement dish, she placed it on the table and said, “This is a lunch menu. If you wanted more food, go to a Chinese buffet.” This comment was incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful, especially given that we were simply trying to enjoy a birthday lunch. It’s unfortunate that such poor service overshadowed what was supposed to be a special occasion. I truly enjoyed my first visit, but this second experience was disappointing and made us feel unwelcome. I hope you take this feedback seriously, as no guest should be made to feel this way. Never again!

Let me preface this with the fact that I've eaten authentic Chinese and American Chinese food... eg. Panda Express to Ding Tai Fung and the former Mr Wok and hundreds of other places. Chicken fried rice, while it tasted decent, it was super oily. Beijing duck - accompanied side items were fresh, but the duck itself was not fresh nor crispy skin (barely any skin and mostly meat). Xiao Long Bao (soup dumpling) tasted frozen steamed. We didn't even get soup spoons to eat this with and the waiter was too busy. Way overpriced and value needs to be reconsidered.
