I asked for an order of elote fries and she completely ignored me and walked away. Our drinks and food came out, but no fries. I went up to the bar where she and an Asian guy were making drinks. I stood there for a couple minutes waiting to be helped and both of them walked by me without saying a word. When I finally asked about the fries, she told me nobody placed the order. I told her I literally asked her for the fries at the table and she ignored me. Instead of apologizing, she just said "okay" and walked away. Making a mistake is one thing. Acting like you don't care and refusing to take any responsibility is another. Nobody apologized, nobody tried to make it right, and the attitude was awful the entire time. Definitely won't be back.

It gives the place a nice modern luxury touch. It's not too big but perfect for a party of 30-40 persons. They have parking in the lot right by Outback! It's easy to find and very nice to celebrate. You can also have food catered or taco truck outside venue. I will come back her for another event or maybe in the future consider renting out for myself. -Marshay D.

This is…read moresuch an amazing spot for girls night out and for people who just want to sit by the bar to order drinks all night. Ambiance is super warm, the service and bartenders are amazing as well. I can honestly say this is one of the best bars in the 626.. Aesthetically pleasing and the drinks are actually made well. They don't use that shitty sweet and sour mix, a lot of syrups are made in house, they have a nice selection of spirits and the overall speakeasy vibes are immaculate. If I could come here every weekend I would! It's a nice spot to bring your girl after dinner or if you're on a date.

I found Moxie Izakaya on Instagram and had to check it out. We entered into this arcade-like setting with small claw machines, a cotton candy maker, darts, an open bar, a dining area with televisions and an open karaoke mix, and a separate hall for reserved karaoke rooms! The karaoke rooms are set up intimately with two tables, black leather couches, projected screens with a karaoke device, speakers, and a little disco ball at the top. If you're wondering about food, there are a TON of incredible options choose from ! What we ordered: Mango Yogurt Soju Cocktail Unagi and Cucumber Roll Shrimp Tempura Roll Seared Salmon Sashimi with Truffle Ponzu Sauce Kimchi Fried Rice Baked Green Mussels Takoyaki Grilled Skewers: Quail Egg, Beef Hanger Steak, Kurobata Pork Sausage, Chicken Meatball, Beef Tongue, Fish Tofu, Shrimp, Truffle Pork Belly Miso Soup We were treated so wonderfully by the entire staff with their attentive and friendly service !! You need to check out their night life amenities, happy hour deals at the bar, karaoke lounge rooms, and of course, their extensive izakaya menu !!

I only had the karaoke experience and did not try any of the food…read more The overall experience for just the singing and drinking experience is a 3.5 out of 5 if I really scrutinize and get picky. I rounded up to 4 as I think it's a solid location and similar to its competition if you're familiar with the KTV scene in SGV and that's what I'm using as comparison. Overall, it's a standard Chinese based karaoke place and system. It utilizes the popular KTV software/system most Chinese based karaoke places use, which is a touch screen system that interfaces in Chinese or English. It's not the most robust system as users who aren't Chinese or not familiar with how the system works will struggle initially with searching, and trying to search outside of Chinese is clunky, but it has a very large song catalogue, though in some cases you need to figure out how to find those songs and some popular songs you would think should show up aren't in their system yet an obscure one from the same artist is. Song library has a decent amount English songs from various decades. Most big pop songs are available. Korean and Japanese songs are mixed as some popular songs are present while some are not yet obscure songs will be present, or they use a live concert version. The name formatting and titling are inconsistent and in some cases, you need to know the Chinese/Hanja/Kanji or the romanization/English translation of the title. Chinese songs are roughly what you would expect, plentiful, though there are inconsistencies as well. Quality of the song and music video varies. I feel the system was just designed for mainland China use with some foreign songs, but they Frankenstein'd a bunch of other song banks and systems to make it an international product. The audio system is alright. Speakers and mic quality are average, not bad, not amazing. Like any system, be smart with feedback. Audio configuration can be done through the touch screen system. Mic configuration, I can't remember if it was locked or not. My experience was, it wasn't bad but I didn't feel as confident and had to adapt to the mic and presets. 3.5/5 for the audio, song bank, and system interface Service was alright, they came pretty fast if you called. We were greeted at the front desk and were checked on a few times in the beginning to ensure we got everything before getting into the rhythm of things. Solid 4.5 stars for my night's experience. Interior is clean and nice enough. Lobby and shared space is nice and the rooms seemed alright. Nothing that interesting or extra amenities that added a big wow factor to me. Solid 4 stars for interior. I've had drinks here and outside of the alcohol, some of the other drinks were a bit disappointing. I think I had the grapefruit with honey and something else. It essentially tasted like hot water, a little honey, and the syrup from those jam/fruit preserve/make your own drink at home jars you can buy at a chinese supermarket. Relatively weak flavor and did not feel worth it. Drink game needs to step up if you're going to charge those prices. You got canned and bottled stuff if you want to play it safe but it doesn't feel hard to have some good house specialties and in house made beverages. 3/5 Price wise, drinks both alcohol and non alcohol are in the range of what you expect at a karaoke place. Room rates are around the average. I didn't do the happy hour, but it follows many other places in the one flat rate unlimited singing + food/beverage credits which is really worth it if you can do those times. Outside happy hour, relatively fair and average. If you don't go as a group, it will feel much more expensive. Price is 3.5/5 as it's average priced for the most part. it's a 4/5 or 5/5 if you only do happy hour and how you utilize it. All in all, solid 3.5 stars, inching to solid 4 stars. Minor tweaks would up the score very easily. If the drinks were better, they had other amenities or specials, other types of pricing outside happy hour, better refinement on the audio/mic, or better setup and library for their ktv system rather than using the generic stock one every chinese ktv place uses would push it to a 4 or 5. I want to give this place a 5 since it's somewhat close by to me, has an easily accessible space, and tries to do unique deals/specials with the happy hour. The first time I came here (but didn't stay) it felt really nice in potential after a few bad past experiences at other places, but the last time I came, it felt average or slightly above average. They seem to be changing up what food they're doing and that just screams to me they're just throwing whatever at the wall and seeing what stick vs having their identity and specialty. I think specializing in some dishes and drinks and keeping the menu more limited ensures better quality and flavor. But that's just my preference. I know people who like having lots of selection and prefer value/quantity.

My first time at Action Lanes within Midway Plaza in El Monte was through a Yelp event. Glad I was…read moregiven the opportunity to enjoy bowling. Thanks Yelp! I came back on a separate day to offer my patronage and support. Parking is plentiful. Interior has an old school look and feel to it. Quite nostalgic! Very clean and organized, but not super bright. Most house bowling balls were old, dirty, and chipped. I don't use a house ball since I have my own personal bowling ball. They may want to invest in some new balls... just saying. Their bowling games were $9.50 per game that Saturday night. I ended up not bowling. I would love to return to take advantage of their Early Bird Special at $4.75 per game which is a great deal from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM on the weekend. League rate is $5.00 per game which is a steal, too (please note league must be hosted by Action Lanes to qualify). Bowling shoes are $5.00 per pair which isn't bad, but I have my own shoes so I don't need them. Please check out their other rates and promos online. When I was here, I had a wonderful conversation with Caleb. He was working behind the counter. Super friendly and nice young man. He gave me the scoop on which nights have leagues and when it was best to come here for best deals. Thanks Caleb! I didn't want to leave without supporting them. There's a boba shop inside the bowling alley, but they were closed at the time. I ended up buying one A&W Rootbeer from the vending machine. It wasn't a lot, but it was something. Quite a refreshing drink! I love bowling so I'll definitely be back to bowl. Thanks Action Lanes!

They have different set prices all days of the week so be sure to cadvantage of those if you're an avid bowler or want to come here with a group. The food here is actually decent. My husband and I ordered the popcorn chicken to share. As you can see from the photos, the attention to detail was there. From the golden brown color and seasoning on every piece. This was a perfect snack after an hour of bowling. I would order this again! Parking is shared with the other businesses in the plaza. It is large so you won't have to worry about not finding a spot. The business wasn't as busy when we came here during the week. There were a few lanes still open when we arrived. Overall, I recommend this spot. Whether you're a novice or a professional bowler, it's a great place to hang! If it weren't for the Yelp Elite Event held here, I wouldn't have thought to come back. Thanks, Action Lanes! See you again soon!

For English songs, they only used youtube premium so it was the equivalent of buying your own karaoke machine at home, grabbing a couple of lights and pulling up YouTube on your TV. They added a noncancelable 18% service charge to our session even though we had to exit our room, find a staff to be able to order anything. I think for a minimum 18% service charge service should be better. Overall, I would not recommend this. I think this place is OK if you have no karaoke machine and you have no other option to go to otherwise I will go to literally any other KTV place.

This year we got the usual great lineup but instead of the DIY style show in a parking lot, Professor Vic moved it to the Cathedral. Located right off Garey, The Cathedral is tough to miss. There's plenty of street parking on Center St and there's also a small parking lot across the street. This used to be a YMCA but it looks like an old church with dark wood flooring, high ceilings and stained glass windows. A very cool venue. How did it sound? Loud. Extremely loud. They also had a huge video board which gave each band a little extra hot sauce. There were a couple of bars in the back and you could also order food. It's air conditioned in there but between the heat (100+ outside at the time) and the amount of bodies inside, it was at least bearable. Mosh for Youth was great as always and while I loved the DIY ethos in the past this felt like a leap forward. The sound, look and venue made this feel big time. I hope future MFY shows take place here...until they maybe outgrow this place too, which would mean more scholarships for the kids. Highly recommended!
