This is by far the best internet cafe around, they crush the competition in SGV, the computers were fast, leather adjustable computer chairs, they used to even have console games here but for capacity reason they had to take it out, still comfortable, clean and the guys at the front desk are super cool, plus it's surrounded by food, even though I have a perfectly fine computer at home, I still come type down my username and password and go for a few round of LoL with my buddies every week. Surrounded by restaurants and the parking structure is fairly large, but crowded at lunch and dinner time. read more

First time coming in today. I really appreciated the customer service that a gentleman by the name of Spencer was able to help me out, while I was there. Highly recommend this place. The music is great, the place is clean & feels so comfortable to be there. Thanks again Spencer. Cheers read more

Best internet cafe around! Great staff and fast computers. They have all the best games and the prices are low. I highly recommend checking this place. Also, it's a great place for LANing with your friends! read more

Great computer cafe, I've gone several times with friends to play League and other games. Staff is attentive and really cool. One of the only gaming cafes left around. Only cons are sometimes programs don't run or headphones don't work but it's usually resolved quickly. Bathroom is a bit nasty. No Warcraft lll :( lol But the prices are very reasonable and they have to recoup the cost somehow. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone seeking a computer lounge. read more

Basically, it's a neat place to play at for some LoL matches for a few hours. New to the neighborhood and with no internet at home, decided to try this place. Staff is nice and helpful since I was a first timer at this place. The ambiance has the gamer feel with many figures from different games. Plenty of games being displayed on multiple monitors for visitors to watch. Saw someone playing FFX on the big screen which was awesome since it's one of my favorite games. Snacks and soda available if hunger sets in. Overall, I would be back for sure. read more

Dreamlab Gaming - Arcades Near Me - Arcadia, California

It's been almost ten years since I've been to a gaming cafe...I used to live in them and It wasn't until the release of Diablo III that I even thought of stepping into another one. The three places I used to go to (GT in Azusa, fan-yi in La Verne and one in Pomona I can't recall the name) all went out of business. So my friend used his trusty smartphone and look up gaming cafe. After calling three different places and comparing location/pricing, we chose to try out DreamLab. We walked into the place and it had a great vibe going on. Not too dark, not too bright. Places to sit down and chill and even some TV's that were showing what some people are playing. Talked to guy working the front desk and he was excited when we told him it was our first time. We got the 4 hours for $10 deal(which is great value) and he told us which computers to go on. Once we sat down, he came over and showed us how to start our account, how their system worked and where Diablo III was. It wasn't as loud as I'm used to hearing in gaming cafe because every computer had headsets. Most places have speakers, which gets old ready fast! Their were some kids yelling playing left4dead, but it was awesome hearing them blaming each other and yelling for help "OMGZ ZOMBIES ARE EVERYWHERE!!!!! WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME ALONE IN HERE?!?!?" Keyboard, mouse and headset were all in good shape, though if you have 120+ mouse or keyboard you can't love without, bring it. The computers are on top so you can easily pug yours in and their system even remember your key binding and setting(pretty legit!). We had so much fun gaming and enjoying the vibe that we got another 4hours and kept playing. Here's the kicker to this review; It's the first time I felt I've HAD to write one because it's only fair! I made a huge mistake that could of cost me $100 bucks. We got there at 4:30pm roughly and left around 11pm. I left my sunglasses at the gaming cafe and didn't realize it until the morning. I called them at 12:25ish and they were there early. I told him where I was sitting and he went to check. Sure enough, they had them! Not only was the place a great place to play, the staff and the fellow gamer's are respectful and nice people. Our game was on the one of the TV's and my friend had an unique item fall. A few people were watching the TV and they came over to check it out and started talking to us for a few minutes. They didn't know us, nor did we know them, but we talked to each other like we're friends for years. Over all, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GAME! read more

if you want to play your game of choice without having your experience interrupted, do NOT come here! go to 88pc in k-town instead because they will download things WHILE people are playing, causing actual UNPLAYABLE lag! my friends and i used to come here damn near every day and only ONCE did they refund us 30 minutes of lost time due to lag! we've all lost countless hours due to the unplayable lag that spikes in a place where we're paying for uninterrupted time! the owners talk about their weird ass homophobic/racist/transphobic beliefs like nobody can hear them. this place is on it's way down, don't waste your money on an unreliable spot and go literally anywhere else read more

Your best PCBang for the buck. There are always plenty of computers, staff is always friendly, and plenty of games to keep you from doing other productive things. And if you get hungry, you can always head to the restaurants in the area. I'll admit I don't really favor the keyboards but you can bring your own so not as big of a deal. One big qualm that's unrelated to DreamLab, WHERE MY SC2 PLAYERS AT??!!! I always see people playing everything else (LoL) and find myself playing Dota 2 with friends or SC2 when I'm by myself. The one time I did come here and saw a guy play, he was playing a 3v3 game without any hotkeys and only using his mouse. It was like watching someone dribble with only one hand for an entire basketball game, which is sad. read more

I had been this place sometime but yesterday I went to bathroom. It's was disgusting they NEVER clearned. I had to drive the Starbucks to use their bathroom. I told the guy in front desk. He need to remodel the bathroom. I guess the owner doesn't care about customer advise. I'm very disappointed this place beside gaming chair is outdated or rip. I might buy own gaming computer. read more

Chill place. Awesome fast computers with games like starcraft2 already installed. 3$ for an hour so super cheap too^^ Chill place. Awesome fast computers with games like starcraft2 already installed. 3$ for an hour so super cheap too^^ read more

A lot of low points are balanced out by high points here. The employees at the front desk are always a touch awkward, but they're never rude. And though the chairs are a little worn and leather cracking, the rest of their equipment is pretty good. And while it gets a lot of traffic, I've never found myself waiting for a slot, so that's nice. But for heaven's sake, clean up your restroom. I'm loathe to spend longer than 3 minutes in there lest a cockroach feels bold and climbs up my leg. The wall paint is peeling, the toilet is stained, the room dimly lit. read more

Great place, awesome service, and nice computers. They even have different game theme days such as Tuesday smash brothers day!

This PC Cafe as well as the one in Rowland called (e-games) are the ones I frequent. I really like this PC Cafe because the workers here are always so nice and friendly. You have to make a username and prepay for your hours, but it's not a big deal. They don't have as many computers as The Grid in Chino or E-Games, however it usually doesn't get too crowded. The only downside is that SOMETIMES, you can get disconnected, but only sometimes. Out of like the 20 times I've been here, it's only happened like 5 times, but it's veryyyy brief. 5 seconds?? And the bathroom smells really bad, like pee... but it's a gaming lab, it's bound to happen with all the boys just running in to do some business in between their games. But this doesn't defer me from giving this place a 5 star review since the service is great, they provide nice headsets, and they provide many other games for you to play. :) read more

Wow. This is definitely a gamers Internet cafe! And definitely the best I've been too in a long time. With rows of gamer quality computers, amazing personal headphones, and lush leather office chairs; this is the place to game! There are even big screen TVs to play PS4 and other console games for the masses to watch. They have their own log in system. It allows you to take advantage of bulk hour deals, and never lose out. Very clever. The staff is kind and friendly. They are also quick to help you with a gaming question, or sell you a game time snack. When I need my gaming fix this will be my go to spot. I will be back! read more

This place is pretty amazing, relatively clean with fast computers and a good selection of games. A few friends decided to meet here and we played left for dead 2 and payday. 4 hours for $10. The only downsides are: Parking- very small plaza so parking is a pain. Updates- some of the games aren't updated like we wanted to play payday 2 but they had to update which was estimated at about an hour. They only have two rows of computers so it can get full fast. Coco is nearby if you want drinks and din tai fung is right across the street so good location. read more

5 stars for the amount of games they have and headsets/comfy chairs that are provided! This place is for the typical gamer that wants to hang with their friends, but do not have enough computers at their house to have a lan party. I came here the other day with my boyfriend, because we were in the mood for some league time. Once I walked in, the place was pretty dark and only a few people were there. I thought, great I don't have to wait for a seat. Since it is my first time, I asked the guy to help me make an account and he was really nice about it and helped me through the process For the price, this place is considered cheap, considering they have specials and all. $3 per hour and $10 for 4 hours.. the special goes on. They even added a season pass of some sort so you can play more hours. People usually play league here and its kind of sad to see other games being neglected, but you know league does have championships. Also, since i love to eat and snack on something when I'm playing games, they have a medium selection of candy, soda and chips at the front desk to purchase. How Convenient!? Overall: clean and quiet would recommend to a friend will come back read more

I'm not much of a gamer so the only reference I have are the Internet cafes in China, but I came here with my boyfriend just to check it out and play some games together. Price wise, It's pretty cheap. Service was fine, and the game list was a bit weird to figure out. Clicking through was easy enough though. Overall, we had fun playing together, but there were a few issues that did make it hard for us to fully enjoy our time there. The computers tend to have different games, but not all of them were updated on steam. My computer ended up not responding when it was trying to update Killing Floor 2 so I had to move to another computer, which also had to update the game. When we tried to switch to another game, we would have to wait for the games to load or have trouble getting onto it together for one reason or another. When my boyfriend's computer stopped responding, we just left because we had played our share and didn't want to deal with it anymore. And the bathroom. Oh boy. I have to say that I'm actually impressed with the bathroom because the smell reminded me of bathrooms in China. That is to say, not pleasant at all. If you're here to play League, which most patrons seemed to play, that I think the experience will be fine. For us, it just wasn't something we would do again. read more

Seriously, this is my favorite place ever. The people who work here are amazing especially Spencer and Brian!!! It gets really busy so call ahead and make sure they have computers available. The prices are great and you make friends with the regulars, which I guess I'm one of them now. Be careful where you park during the day because some spaces have limited times, but street parking is usually available. read more

It's decent, but only decent. PC's only run on a 660, so you may have framerate issues and the monitors aren't 1080p. Cheap peripherals and the chairs are rough. $10 minimum on a card is pretty bad for snacks and such, so bring cash. Price is appropriate for the level of quality. Staff is good and friendly, the place just needs a little bit of an update. This place would've been pretty awesome 4-5 years ago. read more

said they were open at 4 pm they were not open. it is currently 5 pm and theyre not answering their phone. all i wanted was to play aram.

Extremely poor service. Has been waiting for 40min but cashier has yet to arrive. Will NEVER come here again.

Good memories. "When I was your age... we used to game in these dark rooms and camp with our AWPs in DE DUST YEAH!" Good, friendly enough employees, open late. Guy at the desk charged my iPhone at the front desk for me since it was dying. read more

Super helpful staff. Thanks for the assistant. It is hard to help a group of kids. Awesome place and fun for a party. We came here on Sat and we filled up this place for 3 hours. read more

I have just recently discovered this place through a friend. I used to go to another internet cafe a few years ago called Cyber Lan. Comparing the two it is an obvious upgrade. Better computers, better atmosphere, and better service. But there have been issues the last few times I've gone there. Most of the games on the computers didn't work. When I asked the person working that night, he said that their servers were attacked a week ago and it messed up all the games. Problem with that statement was that I had gone there before that and the games were still messed up. It really hindered the point of going to play games if most of them don't even work. Once they fix that problem then this place would be awesome. I would suggest reserving computers if your taking a large group. It was extremely crowded at midnight on a Tuesday. Apparently a lot of the schools finished so be prepared for a huge crowd. read more

Brought couple friends here to hang out and play Left 4 Dead 2 . I love the intuitive interface that helped me find the game and the friendly staff service . We ended up coming back 3 times in a roll in the same day ! Much cheaper choice and fun place to hang out compares to the Dave and Buster in the near by mall . $3 / hour , and they allow roll over minutes. read more

Price: A bit expensive... I'm forced to buy 4 hours minimum because I use card everytime. I don't like this. Quality: Great quality equipment (screens, mice, headphones, keyboards). Stations are clean. Chairs are comfy if you average height. I'm small, so they're not for for me. Womp. Service: Can't complain. read more

The toilet kinda dirty and not clean frequently. The sets kinda of old and out of date. The internet is slow. Service attitude is bad, not gonna come again. read more

I've been coming to Dreamlab since it was in the process of being built. From the first owner to the latest, Dreamlab has kept up with the maintenance, technology and professionalism that MOST other lan cafe's lack. The staff is comprised of the most computer savvy professionals I've ever met. Restroom is dirty because little dick customers can't aim, wipe, or flush the toilet. read more

Looking for a place to go leisurely hang out with friends? Have a couple of hours and not a ton of money to spend on an amusement park? Want to go relax by yourself for a while after a rough day and go play some computer games? Let me tell about this place: Games on the computer are fun anywhere, but HERE, it gets even more intense. The environment is gamer focused (Air conditioned to perfect temperature, darker lighting, comfortable chairs, customer service oriented staff, outside food is tolerated, drinks and snacks available, etc.) But what makes this place really cool is the fact that it's a gamer's cave, but in a lounge form. Go on in with your friends, sit on some of the couches, have a laugh, chill, eat your food at the center table (which can be bought a the nearby restaurants, taco bell, seven-eleven, Coco boba, all within a one minute walking distance). Then if your feel like it, go ahead and sit at a computer and play some games (HUGE variety of popular online and single player games) The staff are labor intensive, never afraid to problem solve whenever needed and never afraid to apologize if something goes wrong with your time there. And if it's your first time there, don't be afraid to ask the staff any questions at all (I went in for my first time not even knowing what the place WAS, and within 5 mins, they had me all settled in for an awesome time with my friends). This place is a usual spot for me after work, you'll usually see me hanging out there til closing time (1am), eating with my friends or playing Battlefield 4 online with them. Check it out, it may be your new spot. read more

Coming from the Bay Area, pc cafe was virtually nonexistent over there. So I was thrilled to find this spot especially it is so close to home. The staffs are easy going. It can get pretty loud and you can hear yelling at times but that is just the nature of the atmosphere. Likewise of going to a gym, you wouldn't expect it to have the noise level of a library. And best of all, they allow you to bring foods in. read more

The owner is not nice. I'm sorry to say I will never go again and I advise you not to patronize this place.

Been coming to this place for about 10 years, finally decided to write a review because of the recent upgrade they had. Bathroom is nice and clean, computers are decently fast. And they have lots of games to choose from. Staff are always friendly, prices are very reasonable too. Overall one of the best lan centers in San Gabriel valley. read more

Best place to game! Shout out to mike, brian, spencer and diana who are the awesome workers that provide great service at this lab. Definitely a must visit for any gamer ! read more

This place is very chill, the employees and owner are very nice and VERY generous with their computers. If your not into computer games, there are console set-ups and they have all new updated games. When starcraft 2 beta came out, he bought it for all the computers ASAP. If you wanna go to a place to play games with a few friends, its at a very good price and good atmosphere. Oh, and they sell drinks/snacks also! read more

fun times w/ friends playing crazy graphic-intensive games (CRYSIS 2!!!) that my economy laptop can never even dream of handling :3 it's normally $3 an hour but if you buy 10 hours at once, it's only $20!! i challenge you to find anything to do outside of the house that is cheaper than $2 an hour. read more

Up to date Computer with some crazy graphics. Crysis 2, StarCraft 2 (both with intese graphics). Now they have free VIP thing where 10 purchases gets you 4 free hours. Great customer service, Nick is chill. But alert with some high level of funny profanity while friends play LoL. read more

Nice staff, fast computers and internet. Reasonable prices and nice atmosphere too. Highly recommended.

the perfect nerd cave for all my gaming pleasures! its like a dark (literally) guild for computers. I only wish the restroom was a bit more...clean-ish? Other than that this place is amazing. Staff is really friendly and willing to help with anything. A lot of the gamers there group up and compete, Along with the actual tournaments and competitions. read more

My friends and I always go to here to pay our games, the staff is friendly, the internet is fast, and the computers are great
