There are so many parts to choose from, and the gentleman who helped me gave me a lot of input from the way the parts sounded and operated. There's so much to choose from. I ended up spending over $120 in parts to replace the shaft, ball, joystick, and all the buttons on the top of the board. I bought a used stick from OfferUp, and a few of the buttons and joystick had issues with inputs. I chose buttons that are adjustable, silent, and bought a new joystick to solve an input sometimes not registering. I'd definitely consider going again when I'm in town! Cheers, and happy gaming!

The skate area is small and felt like a private place for her and her friends. They also had an area for games like mini basketball, foosball and other arcade types of games.

The mixed veggies were pretty soft and steamed. They tasted like the veggies themselves and didn't have much seasoning, if any. I got a chicken nugget and Louisiana nugget. The Louisiana nugget was spicier than the regular nugget. I got Broccoli cheddar soup. It was pretty creamy. I was here at 1:20 pm for my nephew's birthday party. We were in a private room. The table had around 30 chairs I think so it was a tight fit. We were moved to the general area at 2:45 pm. Employees got our plates and utensils when we were finished eating. They had gloves on. There was a curtain dividing the room from the other room so they can be combined. One gripe I had was there were no soup bowls available when I checked the buffet area so I used my dad's.

To judge this on Food alone it's sub-par, nut to evaluate the experience with the arcade and target…read moreaudience... it's an older crowd than Chuck E Cheese and a younger crowd than Dave & Buster's as a video game arcade for kids and children's birthdays or groups. It gets * one or * * two stars on the food quality and selection. The food here is very sugar and carb heavy... so not great for diabetics, lactose intolerant, healthy clean eaters or those weight watchers on any diet. The base entrees and food they serve is simple no-frills Pizza - various toppings Pasta Chicken Nuggets (previously frozen type) Mac & Cheese Then they have a somewhat mediocre or lackluster in quality sides of: Soup Salad Garlic Bread French Fries Basic Desserts Drinks Slushie/Icee/Slurpie Frozen Drinks So, if you're coming here for the food, on one level it is cheap in cost at $15 per person for the AYCE Buffet... but $15 can buy you better quality food if you're just looking to eat. If you have a family of 4 (4 x $15 = $60) you can get better pizza anywhere and better chicken or make better Pasta at home or go to an Italian restaurant for that money. The price is affordable 'tho overall for many who like this casual AYCE self service format. My suggestion is they raise the price to $20 and make the selection more robust and much higher quality, especially for teens to adults. If you don't like pizza, pasta or greasy less than healthy foods, you'll have nothing to eat for the most part other than a weak salad. They need more protein and fresh selections. The Sizzler mini AYCE Salad Bar is more robust than this. Any Asian AYCE Buffet has leaps and bounds better food. Hometown Buffet puts this place to shame. So, if they want to live up to the advertised "Incredible" brand moniker, they need to step it up so it can become a venue for repeat customers, destination dining based upon cravings and not just a side aspect of a video game entertainment amusement center where you have to pay for games by the experience (coin-op credits per game). So, my recommendation to the company is to improve the food. What would bring most patrons here is the arcade. There are "entry fees" so look up the cost and what you get before assuming you can just walk in to play games only. It's good for the 14 and under aged children. The crowd can be rambunctious with kids. It's more inner-city than the stereotypical South Bay Beach City in environment, serving Carson and Torrance but within 20-30 mins of the SBBC area. The staff are nice and friendly. Parking is very plentiful and easy.

I gave this location (2) stars for the staff when you come in to register (they were helpful and…read morewelcoming) and because of my food (which took a while to order because the girl who took our orders seemed like she was not all there --for lack of better words-- she made the ordering process longer and difficult than it needed to be). The biggest issue was a staff around the track --this (1) girl in particular appeared to be having too much fun slowing certain go-karts down with her red remote, imo. But I'll get back to that in a sec. We decided to eat first: Food was okay-- ordered pepperoni pizza (they almost left it in too long and some of the crust was burnt. Had to break those pieces off and eat around it) and Pepsi in a bottle. My bro got sliders, wings, tots and Pepsi. His food took a while so we couldn't really eat together. Ended up sharing my food while we waited for his to come out -- which was weird since we were the only ones there who had ordered anything. When his food finally arrived he ate some of it and threw the rest away --guess he wasn't impressed. He mentioned it was "decent". Now to the races: Multiple people came and bumped me trying to get past me --never saw her slow their go-carts down but she definitely slowed down me and my bro multiple times when we were the ones getting bumped continuously. It got to the point where I just purposely stayed the last racer just to try and enjoy the experience and made no attempts to move up the ranks. Idk what the men's restroom looked like but the women's restroom had lots of gnats! Paper towels overflowing from the discard. Important to note: For as many staff as they had lollygaging around near the track you would think the place would be spotless. There weren't a whole lot of customer so definitely some staff could've been putting in some time and effort to clean around the place. Ultimately: We paid for (3) races. Ended up only using (2) mutually agreeing it was time to get outta there. Leaving the 3rd race on our accounts for another visit that we will be using at ANOTHER LOCATION. No I don't recommend and doubt I'd be returning. This review is reflective of my visit on 11/7/25 Duration of stay around 2hrs.

Review #966 2026-032…read more This used to be AMF Bowling & was later acquired via merger by Strike Holdings LLC (dba Bowlmor Lanes), & rebranded as Bowlero in 2017. Since our last visit over the summer, they're now defunct & again renamed to Lucky Strike in 2025. Whew! Bowlero is actually closer to home than the defunct Gable House Bowl, & the very last bowling alley in Torrance after the demise of Palos Verdes Bowl prior to GHB. I went through a phase of bowling at least once per month in my YA years & recently started up again after having kids due to bowling birthday parties. I miss bowling... I bowled for the 1st time when I was teen & can even remember my 1st score of 77. I didn't bowl much, but I'm usually in the mid-range of 150 or thereabouts & have scored a few turkeys in my lifetime. At one point, I had planned to purchase bowling shoes so that I'm not using the public ones since I hung out with friends that either like to bowl or shoot pool. We were invited to a teen's 15th b-day at Bowlero & the space is huge! It has a mini arcade, bar, pool tables, & 40 bowling lanes that's equipped with lounge seats, blacklights, & HD screens that played movies, music videos, & sports. My daughter had a good ol' time with the birthday girl & their friends, most were from her Color Guard team. Both lanes seem to malfunction frequently enough that they didn't get a full 2 hours; the girls didn't seem that into bowling so it was fine. They were served pizza, chips & salsa with fountain drinks. I only wished they were either served before or after bowling to clean their hands since none of them thought to wash their hands between frames. Yikes! ＼(｀0´)／ None could really bowl & scoring 50+ points was an accomplishment with a couple scoring 100+; the random strikes helped in between the gutters. After a couple of rounds, the girls hung out at the arcade; it's on the smaller side with some games that offer tickets that can exchanged at the automated prize hub. I thought Bowlero would be a fun place to hold my 15 YO's birthday celebration the following month because there's so much downtime for her friends to chitchat & hangout. And I happened to find a really great Groupon Deal: $84 for 2 hours of bowling + shoes rental for 6... not sure of the normal rate, but this is $7/hour with shoe rental! I kept it small to help H build relationships with her friends. It's been only a month, & Bowlero is still riddled with technical issues that we spent more time waiting for the tech to fix the problems than bowling. Even with a lane switch didn't do much to fix the frequent downtime. I even requested to be closer to the center of the bowling alley, near the front desk due to the far left lanes' malfunctions. Again, scoring 50+ points was a real accomplishment with one g/f hitting 100+ in the 1st round. At the 2nd go, H had the highest score of 81. I'm not sure when is prime time but the parking lot was half-full at each visit & it was quite busy inside with half the alley in bowling action. Bowlero is a chill place for a family-friendly bowling game or two... if only the technical issues doesn't mar the experience.
