Very nice arcade! I walked in with a Mococo jacket for the FUWAMOCO collab and the guy behind the counter knew I was looking for the Mococo towel! He even went into the back to look for more since it seems that they only had Fuwawa behind the counter left. I'm very very happy that I was able to get both! I even won one of the claw machines while I was there! Super happy!

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids who love arcade games and bowling, especially on weekdays when it's less crowded. Budget around $100 for two people and expect to spend several hours. Be aware that costs can add up quickly and weekend waits can be lengthy.

β€œPlaces is always gonna be packed on the weekends, parking is hard to get when busy, wait time for bowling has been posted at 2-3 hrs but never waited that long , billiards wait time 1 hr but again never waited that long, claw games have gotten a bit more challenging. Still cool place to chill or go. I usually spend $100 on average for 2 people”

β€œThe place was AMAZING. The staff were kind and helpful. Cost was whatever but my family and I had a great time. Games were the best. I did the punch bag game and got a 567 on first round and on my second round I got a 657. I player many games and I had a good time.”

β€œThis Round1 is definitely smaller than the one at Puente Hills Mall, but still has a good amount to do. They’ve got arcade games, prize games, claw machines, bowling, and karaoke rooms, so there’s something for everyone. We came on a weekday, so it wasn’t too crowded. The place was clean, which probably helped since it was a Monday afternoon. Prices can add up pretty quick though, especially with how many tokens some of the games take. My only real complaint is the claw machines. The claws here are super weak and let go way too easily. I’ve been to other Round1s and usually have decent luck, but these ones drop everything with the slightest shake. You’ll burn through your coins fast, so play smart. Other than that, the place was clean, the bathrooms were fine, and we still had a fun time. Not my first pick for Round1 locations, but if you just want to hang out and have a good time, it does the job. Just skip the claw machines.”
