Come to the Table: A Mahjong Afternoon for Beginners

​​My North London x Sik Wu Mahjong: Come to the Table

​Mahjong is one of those games where you come alone and leave with three new people's numbers in your phone.

​David Chu knows this better than anyone. He found mahjong after burnout — no social life, no community, just a need to be around people again. He started playing. Then he started teaching. Then he opened Sik Faan in Kentish Town.

​Sik Faan means "eat rice" in Cantonese. The words a mother says to call her family to the table. Sik Wu is the shout you make when you reveal your winning hand. That's the whole place in two words. Come to the table. Win together.

​Eighteen months in, people keep coming back. They swap numbers, they return, they bring friends.

​Think cards, dominoes, a bit of strategy, and about 50% luck. Which, as David puts it, is a lot like life.

​You'll leave knowing how to play. And you'll probably already be planning when to play again.
