A GREAT TIME FOR ME... BUT a NIGHTMARE FOR MY POCKET! I'll admit I'm a massive fan of Japanese pop…read moreculture and vocaloid, so I'm the demographic for this establishment. Hence, it's easy to drop $70 and only end up with ONE small Kaito plushie from the Round One x Vocaloid collaboration. I realize not all are ready to commit to splurging, but get ready. Especially if you have KIDS! There's a feast to the recreational senses when you enter. I immediately gravitated towards the claw games. Note, the claw games are tough, I had to look up YouTube strategies and I still only ended up with a small prize from a smaller crane. I'll be back soon for Kaito's friends! If you're big on crossovers, Round One is constantly partnering with big names like Holo Live and other anime brands/titles. Sanrio is another major contributor, some plushies and prizes are even exclusive to Round One! I spotted cups, keychains, and much more. Now, Round One also offers bowling, karaoke, 99 cent ice cream, and arcade games. Thankfully, I went on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't bad at all. No one was hogging up the activities and people were civil. I thought the experience was quite calming and sobering. I spent 20-ish mins inside during a quick stop at the mall and I already want to go back... when I get paid! Fun ambiance!

I normally don't leave Yelp reviews, but I have to say this place has definitely changed…read more There weren't many employees walking around checking on customers or the claw machines -- mainly just the mechanics team. Usually there are instructions showing how items should be positioned in the machines, but this time there were only reference photos inside the machine. I asked an employee if they could reposition an item (something I've never had an issue with before), and the interaction felt pretty rude. They told me, "You shouldn't look at the reference photos, those are for employees." They attempted to reposition the item, but honestly just placed it back in basically the same spot, so it didn't help at all. It was disappointing because I used to enjoy coming to this location. I don't think I'll be returning since I don't want to feel like I'm inconveniencing staff just by asking for help.

I get not all games are the same price which is perfectly fine however make it easy so when you buy a game card, you can use it all up or even add additional points at your leisure so you can use it all up in one setting. Instead, you have to go off the amount of points they're giving you so in retrospect you'll never use up that card in its entire entirety which means unused credits which intern means you will spend more money. I didn't have any food or drinks however, you couldn't really find people when you had a question about a game not working

We were driving home from my fathers house this past Christmas Day, and what to our wondering eyes…read moreshould appear...but Happy Time Adult Book Store... I laughed so hard I had tears! The reviews didn't make it seem like a place we could take the kids, so we continued on our long journey home, but it was definitely something that got the entire car full of us laughing ... I had to translate one of the establishment's more eloquent reviews (it was pure gold - I can't help myself...) into Spanish so our little guy didn't hear it, but by the time I made it through laughter and tears and sides aching from giggling like a 12 year old, I decided that since we stopped here and took time to crack up in front of an adult book store on Christmas, it merited going into the book of reviews, if for nothing else than for sheer novelty. Actually, the outside of the place didn't look super sketchy and the street was otherwise deserted, which enabled us to take a few minutes to truly appreciate the magnificence that was the Happy Adult Time Book Store. It sure beats the Sad Adolescent Time No WiFi Store... :) Best Christmas novelty detour ever...and not even a need to get out of the car. Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!!!

The story kicks off the moment you walk in, and you're instantly immersed in the game. Ivette, our game master, was truly amazing at getting us into the story right away and kept us engaged the entire time. The building is a little tricky to find, so don't hesitate to give them a call if you're having trouble, but trust me, it's soooo worth it. We absolutely LOVED this escape room and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and thrilling experience

Then once we got the second hot dog, they forgot our fries that come with the combo. When we went back for the fries, they put the fries all in one container which annoyed me even more. I wanted my own portions because the person I was with is a fatass who eats too much. I cannot share food with him. It was such a hassle to get all our food that I forgot to take a pic of it all. Fries were average and the hot dog was only slightly better. No tray or box was given to us until later when we got our fries. Don't want to have to eat food off my lap. Going to galaxy theatres next time.
