Customer Reviews

Reviews are a bit too harsh. Pricing per game was very decent - you get what you pay for. The dance machine worked fine each time I visited. The arcade claw machines were challenging to claw the plushies (as in any arcade shop). Many games only require two coins to play. The second floor has billiard tables as well. Place is located on the side street; many people might not even know of this arcade. Yes, all games are written with Chinese instructions, but it's easy to figure out. Overall, a great place for

We came up to this place to celebrate my sisters birthday. As soon as we walked in there was no greeting whatsoever (we ignored that part ) however i noticed that some of the games were not on. We attempted to try to come in and enjoy the place however we were RUDELY told that they were closed however there were several people inside playing games AND THEY PROCEEDED TO WALK US TI THE DOOR AND LOCK IT Don't even waste you time IYKYK

Decent games and pricing. Not many options compared to other arcades I've visited. The service is nice only if you speak mandarins.

I was outside with my friends we going here to have fun over the weekend when we bought coins to go gamble on those shooting machines i won the jackpot. When i went to cash out the machine ran out of coins so i look at a employee and ask if i can get the remaining amount of coins. Blud looked at me and did't give me my money like what i did't even ask for a staring contes. He also looks around at little kids especially 10 n under that made me uncoftorble

It's pretty cool when they want it to be. Cute claw machine options; other typical arcade games; and Hourly pool tables starting at $7/hr. However- they aren't 24 hours, they're pretty rude (especially if you aren't in the same demographic), and they will close the place at random times to gamble together.

Front desk women was really rude to us. My friend lost her wallet and she barely checked cameras. When my friend tried to describe wallet she said ?I don't care? multiple times

Owners around the store walks around casually and helps people in need. There's also a pool table area upstairs. I think it is fairly priced, tables are charged per hour and you can buy the tokens to play the arcade games.

This place is great for my kids. This place has many games. Some games are just what we play in the park like the basketball game.

Place is fine, its pretty fun and the prices are cheap. The only thing that is bad is the customer service, when I went to redeem my marbles for a gift she told me to hurry up even though I didn't take a long time to pick a prize even though there wasnt many options as a prize.

i lost my wallet and front desk women did not listen how my wallet looked, what was inside, she interrupted me and the only words she said is ?i don't care? and did not check cameras??????

when me and my friend won a jackpot in a machine it ran out of coins, we told an employee he just stared at me like he looks so retarred just staring , and he keeps staring at people

Manager helped us relocate prize since it was out of reach. Cheap to play!

This place sucks the worker here sucks there manner is so bad and they give you so much attitude

This place is very fun to come you should come.

The reviews lie and the place is great and at least we weren't racially abused but almost everything was in Chinese

Dance machine sound broken and they don't seem to care to fix it after weeks. There's also not a lot of options. Not worth the time

Not 24 hours?? looked open with worker inside but didnt open the door.

it a fun place recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
