Come to find out that this establishment originated in Japan and I am so glad that there is one available for us to enjoy here in the states. Any form of entertainment, arcades, rhythm games, dancing games, shooting games, virtual reality, Photo Booth even arcades that give you emblems and cards that you can keep and upgrade your deck with and come back and play again. I mean the list just keeps going on. There are lights and sounds everywhere along with music being played for a nice sensory thrill for anyone who enjoys it. If you come during less busy times, it will be a little quieter and you can feel like you carved out a little place of happiness for yourself. They have all kinds of drinks and refreshments from finger foods and pizza to beer, Japanese sodas, even ice cream and desserts all kinds of different flavored drinks. Many rotating promotional collaborations from different anime and manga franchises, video games and so on and so forth. A special shout out goes to the following people for helping make my visit extra special. They were kind and patient, answered all of my questions, allowed me to overcome the learning curve and thoroughly enjoy myself. I really needed it too. I haven't been in a place like this in a long time and I put a big smile on my face. Amusement Lou-Lou Bowling Supervisor Ellie Bartender Josue Manager Luis I can only hope that for names will be recognized for their kindness, patience, customer service, and exemplary attitude.

I am extremely disappointed with how mall security handled an incident involving my family and my 4-year-old daughter. While we were at Round1, a man was sitting at the Mario Kart game and staring at my 4-year-old daughter in a way that made us uncomfortable. Her father said something about it, and we walked away and let it go. About 20 minutes later, we returned to the area and the same man was still there. He ended up complaining to mall security, and the police were called. Instead of taking our concerns seriously and listening to both sides, mall security treated my family like we were the problem. My daughter is FOUR YEARS OLD. She cannot fully explain or defend herself in a situation like this. Round1's security staff actually listened to us and defended us, but mall security still made us leave. The security guard Humberto was involved in handling the situation. When I asked for the names or identification of the security personnel involved because I wanted to file a complaint, I was told that the information was "private." I eventually left because I was afraid the situation would escalate and I could be arrested. As a mother, this entire experience was upsetting. I should be able to raise a concern about behavior toward my 4-year-old daughter without my family being treated like the problem. I am requesting that management review this incident, including the available surveillance footage, the actions of Humberto and the other security personnel involved, and how my request for identifying information was handled. Parents deserve to feel that concerns involving their young children will at least be taken seriously and handled fairly. These officers refused to give me any information

I was in the Burbank area for the Jackalope Art Fair and since we got decent parking, we decided to go into the mall to check it out. My fiancé and I used to have Dave & Busters passes, so we knew we would enjoy Round 1. Upon entering, we went to activate a game card and Javier helped us out. He was friendly, and efficient. I was walking towards the back with the Japanese toy machines when I saw there was a Disney Photo Booth. I LOVE photo booths and make my fiancé take a photo with me every time we see one, but I'm also a huge fan of Stitch, so this was perfect. I have never seen a Disney Photo Booth before and was super impressed. Then we made our way to the claw machines, and here's where I wasted all our money. There was this panda nigiri that we really wanted and I was convinced if I just hooked the claw around the tag's loop we could get it. We spent all our money on this until about our last 3 swipes when Javier magically appeared and taught us how to do it. Just one try after Javier's instructions, my partner got it! We then went to reload the card since we wasted all our money on that one panda, and played more claw games, but this time the mini ones. I had so much fun- I got the duck ramen on my first try! Then we went back to the infamous panda nigiri machine to show that machine who's boss and BOOM I got a second one on my first try (thank you Javier for the tips!). It was so much fun and all the employees I interacted with were so friendly and sweet. I really enjoyed how the employees wanted to help us win. So much fun for a little date activity!

I went on a tour of the LA Round1s (minus the original, since I had no time) and this was my favorite one. It's humongous, has reasonable structured parking right next to it with tons of spaces, and the win rate was very generous. It's attached to an inside mall that I didn't put a foot in, but I imagine it's a nicer mall based on the surroundings I passed. They seem to have a very large space inside, and a healthy volume of people roaming through all the aisles and arcade games. The people at the counters were also numerous and attentive. Yeah some machines were very weak and some had cheese wheels, but I think a majority were reasonably fair. I'm from NorCal and Burbank is by far my favorite Round1 at the moment. I liked this location so much that I had to visit it twice during my trip. I'm not too sure what to do with all the jumbo prizes I won! I will say though, this location has the laziest workers I've ever seen. We asked people to help us several times, and the usual response was "I'll get someone else" or being told to wait for nothing. You have to be extremely proactive and annoying about requesting for help. They're one of the first receivers of the gashapon and they're cute little keychain trinkets or figures, but ultimately I wasn't really interested in any of the random anime IPs.

BEST DATE EVER!!! I just got back from the best date ever! We love exploring arcades and have never been to a Round 1 before. As soon as you walk in, it's lots of noise and lights, so if you are sensitive to that, I recommend glasses and/or headphones. There are lots of claw machines with plushies and figures. From mini claw machines to big ones. I won a Spa Mocha after about 10 tries and he's soooo cute! I love Milk & Mocha!!! We tried getting the Milk plushie to match but we couldn't get her. Maybe next time! We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of fun interactive games - our favorite was the Taiko no Tatsujin drum game! You work up a sweat! Also really enjoyed the motorbike racing game. And there were lots of people playing the Circle games behind us and the DDR. The place looked pretty clean to us and we will most likely be back. Thank you!

Place is very very fun!! There's a free parking no garage. Pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon - night. Not many tables to sit at to eat when it's busy for food. Mozz sticks and tater tot's are amazing! Gyoza is decent too. Chicken tenders and pizza are not the best.... Inside is so fun! Boeing and games and photo booths too. Keep your game card to refill with credits to play!

We all know the crane machines are rigged but we love the thrill of winning. It's a gamble, but we do it for the kids, right? Right? This last visit was rough for my niece, nephews and daughters. Each kid had a card loaded for $30 each and they usually end up with some kind of prize - not this time. The crane machines kept picking up the plushes, but every single time dropped them. Overall, the plushes and toys in the machines are good prizes and it's fun to play to try to win. Wish they would set the machines to pay out a little more. I know nothing is guaranteed, but to see the sad look on ALL the kids faces was very disappointing. Here's hoping to a better outcome next time!

Such a big selection of arcade games for all ages. They service food and drinks. They have big screens to watch a game and they even have a bowling alley. It's a lot of fun to go as a group or alone.

Bryan, Ethan, and Bryan made sure our first time here was the best. Im coming back as soon as possible now!!!!!!!!

Hair in my food.
R M.

Often come here to do work and watch some games. Ordered the tots and chicken tenders and found a hair in my food. It's a little too curly for my liking too.

Bilin W.

It's been 3 months since my last visit. It definitely feels harder to win this time... I usually spent $110 (800 credit) per visit, and with most machines being 14 credits per play, it about $2/play. Usually I walks out with a handful of plushies, but I could barely win anything this time (only 2 figurines and 1 plush!). All the machines feels comparitively rigged. Also, the prizes for this visit wasn't as attractive as the ones in my previous visits. The staffs are friendly but they are hard to find when you need assistance. It doesn't feel as satisfying or fun as before. I hope it improves in future visits.

I've taken a special needs young adult client there twice now. At $20 for a minimum card load, the value is... eh considering the selection of games. I've been only on Wednesdays, so we're literally the only customers there. I'm really not interested in going on the weekends because I wouldn't care for crowds of youngsters in a tiny place like that. Basically, it seems to me that the purpose of iPlay is to elevate dominoes pizza next door into a Chuck E. Cheese. The female attendant there kind of hawk eyed my client and I, and it felt a bit uncomfortable. With the dinky selection of games in the limited space, iPlay as a hole is a bit underwhelming. But for all your parents doing birthday parties or just wanting to kill some time, it serves its purpose.

First, there was NO AC, and it was around 100 degrees outside. It was incredibly uncomfortable, especially for a place hosting children and birthday parties. But the worst part was watching the birthday boy get kicked out of his own birthday race in front of all of his friends. He was removed for bumping into another car, and from what we witnessed, there was no warning given beforehand and no opportunity for him to correct what he was doing. We even have video of what happened. Imagine being a child, celebrating your birthday with all your friends, and then having to sit there and watch everyone else race while you're excluded from your own birthday activity. It was heartbreaking and embarrassing for the poor kid. We understand that safety rules need to be enforced, but there is a respectful and reasonable way to handle situations involving children. A warning and clear communication could have made a huge difference. Horrible experience, horrible customer service, and an awful way to handle a child's birthday party. I would not recommend K1 Speed Burbank based on what we experienced.

Everything is set to free play with a paid admission fee. You can do hourly pay or a set price for all day play. There's probably about 60 different arcade style games ranging in many decades including 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s favorites. Pinball, Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat, Marvel Vs Capcom (my jam), Super Smash Bros, Basketball Pro, Pac Man, NFL Blitz, Rampage (arcade game of my youth), Donkey Kong, Tron, The Simpsons and so many others. Soft drinks, great lighting, a spacious layout. Neon Retro offers cool holiday deals and specials, hosts fun events, IG giveaways and keeps the fun going all year long. It's still only $15 for unlimited hourly play or $25 for a day pass. No food is served here other than snacks (think chips and candy), but so many places closeby to eat before or after your Neon Retro Arcade fun!! It's not a barcade like EightyTwo or Player One so it's alcohol free. They're all welcoming and very personable. I do know they have a capacity limit and weekend tend to be the busiest until around 4 or 5 pm. Nights and weekends are definitely lower in foot traffic, but still great energy. I don't make it over too often, but highly recommend experiencing once or thrice. They just had a cool 50% off hourly prices for Bonus Level Loyalty Club members, and yes it's free to be a member :) Local street (meter), paid lot and garage parking available. Gender-neutral restrooms. Great for groups or just you.
