This place was super nice inside of a plaza in Little Tokyo. It's located on the 3rd floor and there is parking in the structure which can be validated by the staff in X Lanes. I was very pleased with our time there - we made a 9 pm reservation and was able to add more time later. We ordered food - some hits some misses but everything was decent. Our party ordered mocktails and cocktails - the verdict on the drinks was half and half. I thought my mango mule was just okay. It was lacking the mango flavor. The staff were accommodating and the location was clean and fun! We will be back!

I had a very disappointing experience at X Lanes Bowling. Our party of four paid for an hour of…read morebowling. When we first sat down, our server greeted us but never came back to take our order for food or drinks the entire time we were there. Around 5:40 PM, I went to the front desk to ask if we could extend for another hour since we were planning to order food and drinks. I explained that our server never returned to take our order, but the staff at the front didn't seem to care and just said they were "full" and couldn't extend our time. There was no attempt to fix the situation or acknowledge the poor service. To make things worse, our lane time was cut off about 15 minutes early even though we paid for a full hour. Another thing that made me uncomfortable was that the server said he needed to hold onto my credit card to keep the tab open. I agreed because we planned to order more food and drinks, but given the lack of service, that felt questionable. I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on my statement to make sure there are no unauthorized charges. Overall, very poor service and a frustrating experience. I wouldn't recommend this place.

It's a find your own seat bar type setting. The server was nice but didn't often come around, might be better to actually order at the bar if you want things faster. I didn't do the bowling itself, but it looked like typical bowling with an ole school flair. There was nice and more quiet seating upstairs, with more of the party vibe closer to the bar. Seems like a nice place and might come back to try the food.

Not very considerate or consistent communication from their staff.

Another super late review, but better late than never, right?…read more In May, 2015, I was in town for E*TRADE's annual Directions Conference, staying at the JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE. On Wednesday, the 13th, I still had not eaten dinner and found myself hungry, but it was late, past regular restaurant hours. No problem, I thought, since I was in Los Angeles - there had to be a food truck or taquería nearby, right? Afterall, I was in Southern California...and I was hit with a sudden craving for tacos. Wendell advised against walking around the neighbourhood alone, for safety reasons. Fortunately, I found out that LUCKY STRIKE at L.A. Live was just steps away from me...and they were still serving food. Perfect, I went straight there to get my grub on. I arrived around midnight to a very cool, upscale bowling alley. The atmosphere was similar to a discothèque with dim, hued lighting and music playing. Unfortunately, I was flying solo, so didn't bowl. I went straight to the bar, pulled up a stool and perused the menu. Since it was past 10PM, I was there during HAPPY HOUR. I was stoked. ...and guess what - the menu offered tacos! Although I didn't come to play, I was still winning! You know it - I ordered STREET TACOS, a trio of shredded BARBACOA braised beef, YUM! Of course, I took advantage of HAPPY HOUR and ordered a cherry vodka sour (concoction of vodka and grenadine, on the rocks) to wash down the Mexican handhelds that I devoured. My tummy was very happy. The bartender who served me was polite and friendly. It was my very first solo visit at a bar and conversation with him made me feel like I was in good company. I guess I had a lucky strike at LUCKY STRIKE. Enter happy face emoji here.

2 out of 5. Came on a Saturday during the day and the pricing here makes no sense. Even with the…read moreCostco deal ($100 for $80) it still felt overpriced. The screen showed around $12 per game earlier, then later it jumped to about $15 per game the same day. Not sure why the price keeps changing, but it feels like they charge more whenever it gets busy. Place looks nice and the LA Live location is convenient, but the cost adds up fast, especially if you bring family. For what you pay, it doesn't feel worth it. Between bowling, games, and food, you can easily spend way more than expected. Not a terrible place, but the inconsistent pricing and high cost make it hard to come back.

I had already drank at some breweries before we came here so I didn't want any more mixed drinks. I got a canned drink, I don't remember the name We had some coins and started to play. A couple of the machines took our coins but the games never started which was a bummer but we just moved on. We later saw people playing on them so it was probably something we did wrong. The place was a good vibe with a do playing music. We spent about an hour before we decided to check another place out. My husband and I had a lot of fun.

Some lanes don't seem perfectly calibrated, and the ball return can be slow or glitchy. It's playable, but if you're a serious bowler, this probably isn't your spot. It's fun if you're coming in with the right expectations and just want to hang out and bowl. Bottom line: Good for a group hang out but not the place if you're looking for a polished or premium bowling experience.

We held a milestone celebration here for our construction crew, what a great experience!…read more First off all the staff were friendly, helpful and hospitable. This felt like a classic bowling alley- no gimmicks and no silliness. This place features a bar & grill, two pool tables, a fair amount of bowling lanes, and a small arcade. The dining area seating is plenty and the touchscreen displays at the lanes make setting up your games very easy. This place was clean, professional and didn't feel "corporate" if that makes sense. It definitely took me back to when I was a kid, bowling in a league with my uncles, very nostalgic. Our host gave us a quick rundown and rules which was great for anyone who had never been bowling before. Our party was pretty big (I think 30-40 people) but the staff was great in keeping up with our hungry carpenters. The food was good, I definitely rate it better than all bowling alley food I've ever had- but not quite "sit-down-restaurant" quality. That's OK, we were there to bowl and have fun. Everyone had a fantastic time. I highly recommend for group events, parties, dates or family fun. I leave one star off for parking- there is very limited parking and maybe I missed something but it seemed like the closest option was meter parking or up the block, most of our guys parked a block away in a public lot.

A…read morelot has changed since then , including the flooring, and though it's more esthetically pleasing, the experience just isn't the same. I used to bowl on a league so the way the ball grips matters to me, and the new floors just don't do it the same. I understand that it doesn't matter for most people, and that's also fine, but I prefer the original flooring. All in all it's still a really good time. The bowling balls haven't been changed since I worked there so that definitely needs to happen. These are chipped and beat up. You can actually hear the bumping sound of some of them as they go down the lane. Our company had a group outing there and the one important thing to know is that they charge an 18% service fee, which is NOT gratuity. So you would need to add gratuity on top of that, which puts you at around 33-38% on top of your total package amount. Nobody was able to tell us what the service fee was paying for.

I've gone to Round 1 Burbank a couple times since it opened a few years back. Being someone who…read moregrew up with the fighting game arcade culture of the 90s and 2000s, I was THRILLED to see that had cabs for many Capcom FGs like Capcom vs SNK 2, MvC2, SF3 Third Strike, and even newer titles like Street Fighter V. Now if they had some Tekken cabs, then everything would be perfect. They also had lots of music games and racing games like Maximum Tune. The arcade part itself elevates my score for this place. With my recent trip as part of a group of parents planning for an impromptu after party for the cast and crew for the St Genevieve Parish Schools Musical production's closing weekend, I was amazed at how the Round 1 crew were receptive to our needs. We reserved a karaoke party room for about 30 kids. Louis took down my number for the reservation, and he was very nice and accommodating. We did have to wait about an hour for our party room to be ready, which was fair. Meanwhile, my group of teens entertained themselves with MULTIPLE takes on the photo booths, surely to satiate their social media needs. When the karaoke room was ready, fun and memories were made not just for them, but also the parents. Truly a wonderful time. Now for the dark side of this review. Though Louis was awesome, he did mention that I should get a text within 5 minutes confirming my reservation. It was almost 30 minutes and still never received a text, and when I talked to Louis about it, he said that I had to connect to the Round 1 wifi in order to receive text updates. Rather unintuitive, I thought. But Louis did assure me that it didn't affect my place in line, which was good to know. Also, the thing that brings my score down... the food. I ordered the buffalo wings. Not only were the wings not of size, but the watery buffalo sauce was just thrown in that I may as well have had a buffalo chicken soup. Also, though they did not charge me for a pitcher of water for my singing teens, they did charge the other parents that I was with for the exact same pitchers of water. At that point, I was telling myself it must have been my charm that got me free water lol. All in all, Round 1 is top notch when it comes to fun. It celebrates arcade culture of yesterday with their fighting games, music games, and driving games, while providing photo booths and claw games with kawaii merch that today's youth adores. Just please, eat somewhere else before coming here. The mall's food court right outside the entrance has some nice options. Or... just don't order the buffalo wings.
