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.

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.

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.

Bowling shoes were disgusting. Completely worn down, ill fitting, and looks like they haven't been…read morecleaned or replaced in decades. Not only that but the staff was rude, and were inconsistently enforcing wearing bowling shoes. Other bowlers had regular shoes on, but our party was told to wear their shoes or leave. When pointed out, staff said we were wrong. The lanes were inconsistently oiled, the balls were all chipped and low quality. Music was so loud, could barely hear my friends and I speak. Weird policy of charging credit cards at $50 increments. So a $5 dollar water is a $50 charge with a $45 dollar refund. Weird and strange policy. Added 1 star because the pins weren't held up by strings. Probably won't be back unless major changes are made.

Then the manager had the nerve to try to read the pricing board in person as if I cannot read it myself. It's not a comprehension issue; it's a "your website is misleading" issue. I showed the manners manager the website showing exactly what it says. On a direct deal it says per game, per person. On the deal I was asking for it only said per game. She didn't care. Said she can't do anything about it. And was low key rude. A simple fix: make it clear on the website what the prices are so people don't drive all the way over there to be told they need to pay $100 for the family.
