    Baked Potato, French Fries and Chicken Nuggets
    Rick S.

    To judge this on Food alone it's sub-par, nut to evaluate the experience with the arcade and target audience... 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.

    Broccoli Cheddar

    I got a breadstick, mixed veggies, salad with blue cheese dressing, and pepperoni pizza. The salad was pretty crunch and had water or something on them because they were wet. 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.

    Jon's Incredible Pizza used to actually be worth going to, but this visit was terrible. We paid around $50 for a family of 4 to eat crappy pizza, nuggets, and fries. Honestly, nothing on the buffet even looked appetizing. The buffet area was filthy and more than halfway empty. Dirty dishes everywhere, and the fountain drink machine was disgusting. The play area was okay -- my kids were somewhat entertained, but I was bored. There was only one attendant trying to help when games kept breaking down. He was a very nice young man, but most of the other employees were rude and unhelpful. Workers would literally walk past trash and just ignore it. The food used to be good and worth the price, but not anymore. I'd rather buy a frozen pizza and stay home next tim or stay local at Shakeys or Chuck E. Cheese

    We had a great time! Hosted a birthday party here for the first time with the birthday package and it definitely wouldn't be the last. Our host, Dallas H. was attentive and friendly and played games with the kids and made us balloon animals. The arcade was so fun. Our kids enjoyed mini golf, the roller coaster and bumper cars. And you cannot go wrong with the all you can buffet! :D

    The food was edible, but cleanliness issues really affected my appetite. I noticed food residue on a "clean" plate and on the fork dispenser, so I wiped items down with my own napkin before using them. I also avoided the ice machine because there was visible pink mold at the bottom, which raised concerns about overall sanitation. Food-wise, I stuck to safer options like pepperoni and jalapeño pizza and flatbread, which were okay. I sampled the pastas and the Alfredo was the only decent one--adding chicken and broccoli helped since the sauce was very runny on its own. The potatoes weren't worth it, and most other items didn't look appealing. For dessert, I skipped the ice cream because kids were constantly handling the machine and chose the jello instead, which was fine. The game room was decent for my nephew (under 3), as most of the toddler-friendly games worked. However, many larger games were closed or out of order, so options were very limited for older kids. This did save us some money, but it's something families should be aware of. Overall, manageable food and limited entertainment, but cleanliness needs serious improvement.

    Had a birthday party for my niece here it went amazing. Rayon was beyond helpful with set up and clean up and keeping things organized and on time,with 10 thirteen year old is a feat in itself. Everyone made sure we had everything we needed. Only wish I had added the extra time for the room

    If you're planning on coming here make sure you have a reservation. I didn't but luckily it was…read moreempty and they accommodated us. I paid around $25 for 3hrs of play ( We only stayed one hour). My nephew wasn't wearing grip socks so I had to purchase some. It's a no shoe policy so you must leave your shoes upon entering. Super fun kid play area and since my nephew is 3, he still made the cut. There is also a coffee shop and sitting areas where you can order food and drinks. The wooden slide was a little concerning. I would like to see more padding at the end of the slide. The padding that is there doesn't seem to absorb the shock as much as I'd hope for especially for a 3yr old whose legs are landing fast into it. Other than that I highly enjoyed the experience.

    I've been coming to Looma for years and perhaps that's the problem. I remember what this place felt…read morelike when I first discovered it. It was genuinely impressive. Someone had clearly thought about the experience. A beautiful indoor space, imaginative little environments, places for parents to sit, decent coffee and food and enough visual restraint that you didn't feel like you'd voluntarily locked yourself inside a plastic primary colored migraine for two hours. With small children, this is no minor achievement. There still aren't many places like it in the South Bay. Which is probably why we keep coming back. Unfortunately, Looma today feels less like a premium children's space and more like the aging remains of one. You begin noticing the little things because there are so many of them. The projector by the ball pit stopped working ages ago. Other play features are broken or simply gone. Toys and foam blocks migrate around the building and apparently establish permanent residency wherever they land. Some surfaces are sticky. Vents and edges look like they haven't met a cleaning cloth in quite some time. Rooms sit unused and closed off. On our latest visit, even the bathroom was rough. None of these things individually ruins a children's playground. Kids are extraordinarily talented at destroying civilization. I have two. I understand. But maintenance is the business. If you sell a premium environment for children, the product isn't the slide you installed three years ago. The product is the slide today. The clean bathroom today. The working toy today. The stocked refrigerator today. The employee who appears mildly pleased that you've entered the building today. That last part has always been Looma's strangest weakness. Service ranges from indifferent to occasionally miserable. There have been exceptions the woman I've repeatedly encountered handling the cafe has always been genuinely sweet and helpful. But overall there's very little hospitality in a business ostensibly built around families spending time there. And when the place is crowded, all of these little failures compound. Our latest visit felt badly oversold. Not enough seating, exhausted parents orbiting tables waiting for somewhere to land, children everywhere, broken or neglected equipment and a staff seemingly resigned to surviving the shift. Then you remember what you're paying. Once admission for two children, food and drinks enter the equation, this stops being some scrappy neighborhood playroom where you forgive the duct tape and missing Lego pieces. Looma calls itself an upscale indoor playground. Fair enough. But "upscale" creates an obligation. It means someone has to care obsessively about the boring things after the beautiful launch photos have been taken. That's what frustrates me most. The bones are still good. The original idea was good. Even the food is surprisingly decent for an indoor playground, with some Korean options mixed into the usual kid fare. My children can still have a great time here. But children having fun is an extraordinarily forgiving metric. Give them a cardboard box and seventeen minutes and they'll establish a functioning municipality. Adults notice the rest. Looma doesn't need another attraction or themed event. It needs somebody to walk through the building slowly, look at every surface, every broken feature, every empty refrigerator shelf, every neglected corner and start caring about the details again

Before coming, I called the day before to ask about the timing and any restrictions. At no point was I told that my 6 year old daughter would not be allowed to enter during Toddler Hour. Had I been informed, I would have planned differently. When we arrived, my daughter was told she could not participate because she was too old. She was understandably disappointed and confused about why she was being excluded. We accepted the rule and decided we would sit together and do crafts while the younger children played. Surprisingly, we were then told she could not even enter the space with us. What I find most frustrating is the lack of practical consideration. The younger children were sold tickets and are not allowed to be left unattended, yet my older child was not permitted to remain with us. The policies seemed to contradict one another and left us in an impossible situation. I completely understand having age based rules and designated toddler play times. My issue is not the policy itself. My issue is that it was never communicated when I specifically called ahead to ask, and there was no effort made to find a reasonable solution once we arrived. The result was a very disappointed child and a family celebration that quickly turned stressful. On principle, I found the experience unsupportive and unnecessarily rigid. I left feeling disappointed by the customer service and the lack of empathy shown in handling what could have been a simple situation.

No matter how hard you try to Google map this location, the exact location won't show. The Google map will just show you that it is somewhere in the mall. Keep in mind that Del Amo Mall is a huge mall. We learned the hardware by parking 1/4 mile away. The way we found out is we had to look at a touch map inside the mall. It was quite confusing because the legend is not stationary, it rotates 180 degrees from your location. Always remember it is by Dicks Sporting Goods, nothing else. This place is hidden on the 2nd floor. It looks like a store. Deceiving looks from the outside. Arrived at this location which we were greeted for checkin under the birthday boys name. You must take off your shoes to enter, so make sure you have clean socks on. The other way is to wear some plastic booties, but it is frowned upon. That option is usually used as a last resort, like not wearing socks. The party was private, you can only have 1 party at a time. You self cater your food and drinks to the gathering. You can even bring a cooler with alcoholic beverages! Which is a plus for grown adults. Social and gathering with adult beverages males the conversation sweeter. This place is not like a chuckie cheese, it is more intimate with a core family since it is private. Its small so it may seem tight to move around. Place accommodates a jungle playground with plastic balls. Enough for the little ones to be entertained. There is one host that works there to assist with the games, food and photography (someones cellphone). That worker is very helpful. The other host works at the front counter for admission. Also you can even hire a character to visit and play games. Surprise appearance by Sonic! Woot woot! Overall, it is small and private. Good enough for 50 people. I will throw a small gathering here on a rainy day, cold or Superhot day only. There is nothing a public park cant provide that zoomi offers. Especially on a warm comfortable day. :) Lots of parking at the mall. Friendly helpful workers (only 2 of them). The 2 negative things is that stood out is removal of shoes and 1 restroom to use. Overall this place will get the job done to celebrate an ntimate birthday party. Fun fun ! Package pricing is unknown, I was not the host but assume it was a good deal since 90% of the party resources was purchased outside of the venue. Comfortable, cozy and small.
