Round1 Bowling & Arcade Chandler - Chandler Fashion Center

What a fun experience! Place is pretty darn clean, got served pretty fast as well as didn't even have to wait to go bowling on a Saturday , it cost about $30 even tho it's advertised at $21 so def bit scammy there don't like that and don't sit at the bar before going in line to buy a drink no one will serve had to learn the hard way they need to put a wristband on you before you chill at the bar food was pretty good for your standards tatter tots and fries

First time taking family here for our daughter 6th birthday and we had a blast. There were a variety of games, claw machines, arcades, pool, bowling for all ages. We had lunch right before coming here so I could not rate about the food. Customer service was to notch. Arvie was extremely friendly and courteous. Arvie showed us around the area and gave us a few tips to help our daughter win plushies on her birthday. The facility itself was clean and spacious. We spent over 2 hours in there without even reali

If you ever want to teach your kids what gambling at a casino feels like, this is the place to do it. The place is filled with bright, colorful machines everywhere. I just wish the games were more affordable, as the cost of tokens is quite high?I felt like I had to donate blood just to get enough! $55 worth of tokens per player lasted no more than 20 minutes. We actually ended up spending more time in the gift shop, where the entry prizes felt more fair based on our winnings. If you're not planning to tak

Went in for a family members Birthday. We all bowled and played a lot of claw games. The 5 year old got 3 stuffed animals, ur very likely to go home with something! You have to order food from a screen, & it's appetizers and bar food I wouldn't call it dinner and game kind of place. Eat elsewhere then go. The bar is opening mid-March due to waiting on licensing. Over all it was fun. May go back when we can have a beer and play.

We had a blast. Claw machine prizes are so cute and the arcade games fun. The staff is awesome and we will definitely go back! SHOUT OUT TO STAFF MEMBER DJ, who gave us some tips on how to play the claw machines better. Love a place with fun games and friendly staff. Something for the whole family to love at Round 1.

A great experience all around, I've been here two times and I can definitely say that Round 1 injects new liveliness into the Chandler mall. There are quite a few uncommon machines here, most notably the entire rhythm section. They don't charge for new cards but the pricing is quite expensive even for an arcade. The claw machines are the main attraction of Round 1 but they are not cheap, and will leave you chasing that claw machine high. Staff is pretty chill and willing to help. Bathrooms are clean as well

This is one of my favorite Round 1s I have visited out of Arizona and California. I have had consistently good interactions with most of the staff. Kenna provided great customer service today when we were celebrating my partner?s birthday. While juggling multiple customers around the claw machines, she promptly and enthusiastically reset a claw machine multiple times for us. Eventually, we were able to win the giant RilaKuma making it an unforgettable birthday thanks to Kenna?s outstanding customer service

Claw machines are much better than standard Western ones. People saying they're good at claw machines and review bombing this place were not in fact good at claw machines. The price is fairly acceptable for the amount of stuff I go home with every time, and the vibe and prize masters are super friendly, fun, and outgoing. I've always been a fan of the Ufo japanese crane games for figures, I'm glad that there's a place that finally has skill based machines. With my review, here's a photo of stuff I won in on

We spent the entire day at Round 1 Arcade and had an absolute blast! Whether you're into arcade games, bowling, or pool, this place has something for everyone. We played our hearts out and walked away with five plushes and two anime figurines?winning here is definitely possible! The food was just as great as the games. We enjoyed nachos, edamame, and fries, all of which were delicious and perfect for snacking between rounds. Plus, hitting a few ticket jackpots made the experience even more exciting! The a

Me and my family went to Round 1 , such an amazing place cool vibes all around ! Winning prizes are so much fun! We met Dj and he is AWESOME!!! 10000% recommend coming here. We've been back 3 times and we love it ! Another + food is amazing and 99 cents ice cream!! This the best place to go make sure you bring you, your friends and family and come , weekends especially??

Coming here is basically just gambling either with the claw machines or what employees are working. There's been times I've won a lot of prizes with very friendly employees and there's also been times I've spent $50 just for a keychain with workers who have a poor attitude. In total would come again but just come here for the claw machines and pool tables you're better off going to Dave and busters if you're looking for an arcade and bar

Editing my review cause my last visit here really rubbed me the wrong way: While the games here are still very fun, the interactions I have with the employees are consistently.... weird. Most of them seem to be just a little off. The other day I was wanting to refill my credits at the counter, and there were two employees up there- a bigger guy and a girl. There was one customer in front of me, and I was waiting in line to be helped. The guy wasn't doing anything, just standing there, but he didn't acknowle

Went for the first time this past Friday (5/23)...SUPER fun, had a dope time playing games and hanging out with friends. My buddy got me an Enderman and Luigi plush. :) The bartender that evening was SUPER cool and made me a delicious strawberry calpico mixed drink...so tasty!!!! I know those chicken strips look plain but I PROMISE you they were hitting just right. I hope I can come back soon!

Came for the prizes, stayed for the staff. We came in when we hard about the new opening and haven't stopped coming in since. The games seem fair as long as you have the skill and technique. I definitely recommend going with the club card if you can, there's plenty of extras that come with it! As we've been to other Round 1s, we didn't expect this one to stand out too much. However, as we kept playing, we noticed what distinguishes this location from others is its friendly and enthusiastic staff. Whether

Brand new in the Chandler mall where the Sears used to be. Bowling arcade. Pretty cool place. You can still smell the fresh carpet. I would get out now before it gets run down.

Incredible location, so many prizes, and the staff are amazing and the most helpful anyone's ever been! Sam in particular helped our group with every prize we won, and cheered us on, he really made our night! We will be coming back!

Hubs and I went here this weekend for date night and had so much fun! We focused mainly on the claw machines and arcade games and plan to go back and try the other things like bowling, pool, etc. There is definitely a learning curve to some of the machines but if you get the hang of it you can walk away with plushies galore. We won 3 big plushies and 1 keychain plush. (We saw some people with bags full of plushies) It is on the pricier side to play the claw machines but we walked in knowing that since we?v

Round1 is awesome! I favor the claw machine and I love how there are so many to choose from! It is a challenge to win but it is possible! The quality of the prizes from the claw machine are great! The only personal issue for me is how high each game costs to play, I wish they had a day for 1/2 priced games. I may not go there as often like I do at D&B.

I love this place and have spent a ton of money here over multiple visits but it has been worth it! With my latest experience, DJ was the absolute best associate I have ever interacted with! I asked him to reposition a prize in the claw machine and not only was he sweet about it but he was helpful by letting me know more tips about the machines. My group and I walked away with so many prizes thanks to him teaching us about the double tap and he was the sweetest worker ever! Sometimes, you don't win the game

Round1 is awesome. I had so much fun! My group came in on Saturday April 12th around 6pm and it was busy. Staff was really nice, helpful, and often went out of their way to either help us with bowling stuff, or crane game prizes. I spent a lot of money on the crane games but I did well which is surprising as I am not good at them. Their awesome selection of rhythm games is what really drew me in and I was super satisfied with the amount and different types! ( tip: bring headphones, the games are kind of qui

We had such a good Saturday night here playing the claw machines! One of the workers even saw me struggling to get one of the plushes and repositioned it for me so it was easier. Everyone working there was so nice and the food wasn't bad either.

We had an amazing time at Round 1! The arcade is clean, well-organized, and packed with a great variety of games for all ages. A huge shoutout to Rin, one of the staff members who made our visit extra special. Rin was incredibly friendly, gave us helpful tips on some of the games, and greeted us with a warm smile every time we passed by. Rin's great service and positive energy really stood out and made our experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place for a fun day out?and if you see Rin, you'

We finally took our kids to Round 1. We all had a great time. The bowling was a great experience. The variety of arcade games were also great. My favorite experience was the huge variety of claw machines. Made me feel like a kid again. There's a variety of small claw machines for tiny plush prizes. Claw machines for small, medium and large size plush prizes as well.

Today my husband and I took our daughters here and my girls were having a hard time. DJ one of the attendees explained to them to be patient and it was a total success. The girls were able to win a plushy and made the night. $150 for the night and totally worth it. Thx DJ for making it memorable.!

I've been here twice now and I've had a lot of fun! I've spent about ~$80 on credits total and have gotten five of the big plushies, and two small ones. It is definitely possible to win at them, but it's still somewhat hard like most claw machines are. Me and my coworkers came here last night as a group and the employees were super friendly, especially Tytan who offered to take some group photos for us and was generally really nice! The plushies are super high quality as well, not like cheap ones you'd get

Another really fun, greatly overpriced, entertainment facility. I took my son and his friend. Bought them each the $36 card that has 180 credits. I figured whatever they didn't use today, they could save for later. Well, after 30 minutes, they were all out! Here's what I found...$36 for 180 credits break down to $.20 per credit. On average, each claw game costs about 12 credits, so 180 / 12 = 15 games at $2.40 per game. A claw game only lasts about 30 seconds, so you'll be lucky if $36 even lasts you 30

We love Round 1!! Their UFO crane games are very winnable and staff are very helpful if you ask them for help resetting the prizes or giving tips. We spent $110 for 800 credits and ended up with 5 anime figures and 3 plushies

This is the most amazing place for fun in Arizona! Rin, specifically, is the absolute queen and a good luck charm. I am so thankful for her and will come back on the regular! I am a new, and now, frequently customer. Never been happier! Thank you, Rin !<3

We had an amazing time at Round1, probably one of the best locations in Arizona! Rin was incredibly welcoming and she was quick to assist in restocking empty claw machines so we could continue our attempts at the games. The venue itself is very clean and well organized, we will absolutely be coming back again for more celebrations :)

Great new arcade and bowling in Chandler. Fresh and clean, great modern games. Food was a bit of a let down, more than half of the menu was unavailable. Will be back though.

This arcade is about 65% claw games. That being said, they do have lots of bowling lanes and a pickleball court. It's a decent time but the arcade portion is not great.

Opens Feb 8. Great addition to Chandler Mall. You can see inside the windows from my photos and videos. Looks awesome inside. Will update review once I go after they open their doors.

Staff member DJ is the best employee. He gave us a bunch of great tips to help us get prizes. Without him, we probably wouldn't have gotten anything. Will 100% go back if he is there!

My friends and I wanted to try this place after our friend recommended it to us. DJ was the nicest and most helpful guy! He was so patient with us and explained all of the games to us. He was so cool and I hope to see him again the next time we go. Thank you, DJ! We had so much fun thanks to you.

Visited Arizona this weekend, and stopped by Round 1 and we had DJ come by and helped us out by giving us advice!! We really appreciated his kindness and funny jokes! We felt extremely welcomed here in Arizona! We will definitely be back!!! Round 1 good job on hiring DJ!!

this place is so so worth it!! such a good date place especially if you're into claw machines, anime, and rhythm games !! i am obsessed with coming here and wish i had the money to be here frequently :)

Fun place for individuals couples families and small groups. Lots of arcade games to play. Great bowling alley. Food and drink options too. They have special deals and senior discounts. Went on a Monday afternoon so it wasn't real crowded. Not free but reasonable and lots of fun.

Went here with my friends and met a worker there called DJ. He was so nice and inviting to us and made the whole experience welcoming. Would go there again just to see him, he really needs a raise for how hardworking he is!

Lots of Japanese style games of chance here. They are more reasonable than your average claw machine, though they have those too. Lots of popular arcade machines too. Bowling alley is here and it's kept pretty clean though the walk area is really tight. The food is varied but there's something with that meat lovers pizza. Tastes manufactured for its price. Goza/potstickers was good.

What a fun and interesting place to take a family! It is like going to a popular arcade in Japan with more games, amusements and claw-machines than you can imagine! We all won a stuffed character before our time there was done, also. Time went so fast... So many games and activities to try! We will definitely be going back for more fun and prizes!

This machine is broken the assoicate Rin made me believe the clock ran out even though I had video of the issue. I was robbed for 30 points and they told me I was an idiot. Will not be going back and will be using my social media platform to let everyone know this place is less than honest.

We had the pleasure of celebrating a birthday party at Round 1. I was very impressed with everything. I have to give a big shoutout to DJ. He is such an amazing employee. He was so helpful with us trying to win some animals in our game playing time lol. He had the best attitude I have seen in a very long time with people in general. He was cheering us on and helped us when we needed help. He is truly an asset at Round 1. Please make sure he is acknowledged and recognized for his above and beyond work ethic.

DJ is the BEST! He made our experience absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for my kid for her first time at round one. Will definitely be back and hope to see his friendly face around!

Stephen was great! The place was clean the staff and customers all seemed very friendly. I was new and took my 4-year-old grandson and I didn't know really how to use the card I bought and the manager Stephen not only came and showed me where the machines were that my grandson could play with the card I purchased but he also let my grandson have two free claw machine turns on the house :-) his friendliness and that extra gesture made our trip extra special. I had taken my son and daughter-in-law and my gran

Hello! I enjoy this place however tonight when I went an employee was making random noises into a mic that was blasting through speakers throughout the arcade. First- bizarre. Second - Alarming and ear piercing, made me leave early because it was excruciating. On edge the whole time

Me and my friends had a blast here, prices were good as well as the food. Staff was amazing especially DJ, he was outstanding and gave helpful tips on how to win from the claw machine! 100% going back

Nice selection of rhythm games at a very reasonable price per play, especially if you get the club card with max credits which results in a little over one dollar per play. DDR cabs had some complementary fans on when I went which was nice. Great arcade for the most part except the claw games at this location are very rigged and a massive scam. I'd stay far away from them which is a shame since half the place is filled to the brim with those machines. Rhythm game cabinets as of Feb 2025: DDR A20, DDR A, St

Decent enough I guess. The manager was playing bartender and I mean playing. His solution to not having a regular margarita was we can't sale what we don't have. That's fine but suggesting something else is customer service 101. Good luck I hope it does well!

Rin was so amazing!! My partner and I went here today for my birthday, and she went out of her way to help me with a claw machine, and gave me little tips and tricks to make it easier. Had so much fun!! Thank you Rin!

Really fun space but only if you can afford to keep forking out money for the ?fun games? we thought the $10 time card was an amazing deal, and the first time it was decent however limited. Well the next two times we've been it seems even less of the games are eligible to played on the time card. Not even all the driving games are green swipes anymore. Disappointing but fine we payed the $16 to get another card with 77 points and let me tell you it went so quickly. Most games are 9 points or more so it's ov

Absolutely outstanding service from all of the staff. Ben escorted us to our bowling lane and served us with utmost respect and professionalism. Mai at the counter tended us well also. All staff was very friendly and welcoming. Arcade and gaming machines are brand new, and everything is clean. They r got food and the bar is open from 10pm - 1 am. My new hangout spot with my friends. We spent hours having fun and playing pool, bowling, pickleball, and karaoke. The VR and music games were amazing!!!

Unfortunately I spent a lot of money here? but WORTH. They have so much here - the rhythm games and crane machines are the best in my opinion, my arms were full of cuties to bring back home. They also have actual arcade games like Dave & Busters where you can redeem your credits for prizes in their shop. I didn't do the games because I was so hyperfocused on the other things but they have SO many good prizes (anime, cutesy, and gaming stuff if you like that, I wanted all of it). I spent many hours here and

Overpriced, unresponsive and/or unwilling staff. 'String' pins regularly misplaced pins or added pins to spare combinations. Was quoted $9+ a game or $40 an hour for a lane. Time is then limited by slow staff and lines. Won't be here again.

$11.50 for each beer and my game card never worked? Line at the bar was 15 minutes long. Manager was standing behind the employees just watching them and didn't help with the long line/didn't pour a single drink for anyone. He literally just stood there while one employee ran the register and another employee made all the drinks? Tried to get my very first card to play the games and whatnot. I told the employee that my friends were playing racing games and asked which card she would recommend. Got back to

Don't go here. Spent over $75 and won only 1 prize. I am generally good at crane games but these machines are terrible. The machines rigged ?payout? takes an absurd amount of plays it's not worth it. Even used the double tap method and it did nothing. The staff are hardly ever around so you will be walking around needing help for over 20 minutes . The UFO machines buttons got stuck and messed up my plays. For context, 1 play is 14 credits, we had 13 credit but where 1 play away from winning on that same ufo

Fun but if you're a huge gambler, I wouldn't recommend it. Claw machines definitely aren't in your favor. Saw them instantly drop the plush the second they try to lift it up. Otherwise, the environment is very well lit up and they need to clarify about the card promotion thing as well. Several people seemed to be bummed out by the random need to buy a game card at the desk and not the kiosk.

We had a great time at Round 1, is always really hard to win in the claw machines, but after all Of us trying we got some really cute and high quality plushies. We also got plenty of tickets in the archade games to exchange with really awesome prices. We started with the lanyard promo for both our kids, enough tickets to play and get great prices. We went all home happy. You have to go check it out.

Great location and unbeatable selection of rhythm game machines. Those complaining about claw machines..yes they can be addictive but it's a choice to play them. Round 1 is a top notch brand and the claw selection is not a scam. It's skill and times played. I'll be a frequent visitor. I feel so fortunate that they are in the valley, arrowhead location is okay but Chandler is awesome ??

I've spent over $700 reloading my card at this location, and every time I ask them to scan my personal app code to earn rewards, they refuse. The staff keeps insisting that you can only earn rewards by reloading through the app?but this simply isn't true. Other Round1 locations like Tucson and Glendale have no problem scanning the code at the counter so guests can earn their points. It's extremely frustrating to be denied rewards I've rightfully earned just because this location refuses to follow standard p

It has a lot of fun actives like the bowling or the arcade. However, it is very pricey ontop of the food costing an arm and leg. Which food is extremely mid and if you're unlucky you'll get a 22 dollar cheese pizza that's still doughy. Granted best to go when you get paid or know you'll spend alot.

Glad this place opened up. Its decent food and drinks with fun entertainment, close to home. It is already growing in popularity but we have always walked in and got a lane

My family and I went here last weekend and had a wonderful experience! The employees were all so helpful (honorable mention to Rin for giving us wonderful tips and helping us succeed in winning). We will definitely be coming back in the future ??

There is an employee here named Ron who genuinely might be the love of my life. She is so so helpful and helped me win a Miku figure ??. I was struggling and then I felt her aura and I won on the very next play. If you see her please give her a thumbs up.

My first time going to round 1 it was so much fun great employees ever they are so nice and helpful dj is the best employee ever he was so amazing and made our birthday party so much fun he gave us stellar customer service. We will definitely be coming back to see dj again everything was wonderful. Again thanks to dj for a fun time.

I have never done anything at Round One other than play the claw machines. They do have bowling, countless arcade games, food and drinks. My boyfriend and I used to drive out to Tucson for that location until they opened locations more local to us. This one does not totally disappoint! There are plenty of games to play, and for us, many claw machines. Most of them are on a payout but there are some that seem to be more skill-based. I gave four instead of five stars because, of course, most of the games were

Huge selection of arcade games especially claw machines with nice prices. My guy DJ was a great help at giving tips to win at machines and created a fun and inviting atmosphere.

Meh. Over priced. 75% of Round1 is claw machine games that start at 9 credits, most are 14 credits. Other locations that have Spo-cha look much better. Some good VR games, although some are up to 30 credits for one play ???? Hopefully they eventually adopt a 1/2 price games day similar to Dave and Busters.

A million claw machines! At least 6 different coin drop/push machines. All the machines are shiny and new and they all work!!

I'm having the best night of my life and I've already won like six plushies and I've had a few beers and some pizza and this is just the best time ever! DJ is the absolute best employee, five stars all around. High five!

The claw machines are fun and you can win cool prizes. I did notice that a specific type of machine was impossible to win, but I'm told if you bring it to their attention they will fix it.

There are few moments in our busy lives when we can truly pause and share time with the people who matter most. But when those rare moments come, they deserve to be unforgettable. And for us, there was no better place to spend it than at this Round1. From the epic moments of triumph to the warmth of shared laughter over a meal, every moment felt special. But what truly set this experience apart was the people Rin, especially. Rin didn't just provide great service; they transformed our night. Their kindnes

Staff is always amazing. Past trip we had several helped us on machines we were stuck on. A Rin was amazing help on a very of the large machines.

Great food! Stephen the manager was really nice to my whole family. I enjoy the selection of rhythm games they had. I would be ecstatic if they could get pop'n music adventure. My son had a great time.

Everything was great. The line for getting alcohol was really long but there's only 1 attendant so it made sense. There are people complaining about the crane games but I went with a group of 3 and 2 of us got a plushie on the first try. So to anyone that complains, sorry but skill issue I guess haha.

Had a blast today! Good drink specials and fun games. Employee named Rin was very helpful and showed us how to play certain games and gave us some tips. Won the cutest plushie ??

I love Round 1 so as a Chandler resident I was so excited to see that this was opening so close to my house. I'm a big rhythm gamer so being able to play my favorite arcade games whenever I want is really exciting for me. My only complaint is that during busier hours it is almost impossible to hear the WACCA machine, especially over the SDVX and DDR. This could easily be fixed by just turning up the volume on the cab and would definitely bring me review up to 5 stars.

Had a blast with my family here! DJ was the man, he went above and beyond to exceed our expectations!!! Not only did he help us, but he truly made us feel welcomed. Thank you for everything DJ, my goat??

Dg he is the best helper he showed us how to get the prizes very good worker. I love this place When we need to help he was there to help us and there was another worker it was a girl but unfortunately I forgot her name but this place was amazing ??

Claw machines are fair (actually winning prizes!?), staff are actually cool and help establish a really chill environment and it's just down the street from us so we'll definitely be visiting often.

Came to this location for the first time and had the best experience! The staff was super friendly and helpful. DJ helped my friends and I with the claw machines and showed us how to play, I even won a prize! Thank you so much for your help DJ, my friends and I will definitely be back! ??

Literally just gambling aimed at children. This place is barely an arcade. $10 for an hour of unlimited play seems like a deal but it limits you to about 8 of the games in the entire place even though they claim the only restriction is ticket games.

Came here for the first 3 weeks after it opened two weeks after, had so much fun. Only thing that's a bummer right now it's just that because this place is so new I cannot redeem my 60 mins of arcade play which hopefully that fixes soon. I think what really helped my addiction end on coming here was having two of the employees that weren't really nice to me when I was showing them that crane game where you push the pole down on a figure, I kindly advised the first employee that was resetting the entire game

This place was great! Time goes by fast lol. Employees there are really kind! Dj was great with some pointers on how to use claw machines! I appreciate kind people like that! The games here are also are awesome. My favorite was the VR racing game lol. Recommend this place !

Very cool place and a lot of claw machines. Price is little pricey and machines are not easy to get. Other arcade games are good and fun.

Love this place for the claw machines. Most are double tap, so you press the button to lower the claw and press button again for a full grab once it's on the prize. Good luck!

Food was excellent. Customer service was nice. But bowling pins were hilarious - they were tied by a thread - so some of them fell down and got back up and our scores were messed up and competition was messed up among my colleagues. ????

I'm a regular at the Glendale Round 1 and this new location is just as fun! One of the workers in particular, DJ, was extremely friendly, helpful and provided amazing customer service!!

DJ is awesome and helpful! When you ask for help make sure to ask him, even his co-workers were hyping him up!! Thanks for your hard work!!
