Round one has a lot of great, fun things to do but I do have some issues with their policies. The arcade is beyond entertaining and by far my favorite part to hang out at. The token system is actually really generous. I played for hours on $10! My issue is the alcohol policy. I used to party in karaoke rooms all the time when I was in my early 20s. I’m used to Asian bars where the lights are low and the drinks are encouraged. Part of karaoke is getting drunk and partying in a private room with friends, but round one doesn’t let people drink in the rooms. So if you want to karaoke and don’t pregame, you have to sit awkwardly and down beer before getting a room. It’s annoying and I’m curious if there’s a good reason for such a policy especially since it goes completely against the spirit of karaoke. In short, round one is really fun, but has odd, super strict alcohol policies when it comes to drinking and enjoying activities at the same time. It’s almost like the bar is a completely separate entity and you’re not allowed to drink AND do something else at the same time. Still love it and can’t wait to return to the arcade!

Absolutely wonderful experience, I love it here! You can spend hours on end. Items cost a lot of points at the shop, but theres no doubt youll be a return customer - so save up!

Good times. Lots of fun. Plenty to do and reasonable prices. If your looking for some family fun this is a great place to come. Adult beverages help pass some time for us older folk

This place has so many grabby games and so many workers to help you. I hope they keep this place stays as clean and fast (months from now) as they did at the grabby game section as they did today. Friday from 530-7pm play time. Kids loved it. The grabbers are very winnable and unique, its all about technique. A little bit pricier than Dave and Busters but its cleaner better maintained and better payout. Love it. Will return soon. Its a 60+mile drive for us to get here. Way worth it for a fun day event for kids and adults.

Pretty cool place. Its got a good size arcade, about 12 bowling lanes, a bar for the adults, snack place to get something to eat and some pool tables. Its a nice addition to the mall and Im happy to have it close to me. I only played around in the arcade with the kids and its a little expensive. The use the reloadable cards like most places do now. I like that all your tickets get added to the card so you dont have to carry them around. I didnt like that some games cost a fraction of a credit. I know its a way to keep you playing and always have credits on the card but really why should a game cost 6.8 credits. Just make sure you keep the card so you dont have to buy another one after your first purchase. All in all it a nice clean place and all the games I played worked so thats always a plus. I say go and check it out.

GREAT place to have family fun. Some people dont appreciate this place has rules.They are there for a reason. Drinking is prohibited in the Karaoke/Party Rooms to avoid issues such as underage drinking etc...They also dont wish to lose their liquor license, so preferably, they are strick on ID Policy. So much more fun then Dave and Busters with MUCH more to do. They do have a good deal on Bowling when you rent the lane by the Hour. There are 325 Arcade Games and ALL Brand New. The Bar is FANTASTIC and well Managed with Big Screen TVS everywhere .Pizza at the Snack Bar is my favorite food item they sell, pretty good stuff. I love this place!!!!!

Never expensive for me, but I also love Japanese games so 5 stars. You ain’t gonna get better than this.

Never ever in my life have I felt more discriminated. I worked my tail off to get accepted into Cal State San Diego as a first generation immigrant and it hurts to see that I was not able to get to enjoy my celebration because I was not able to provide proof of “real” ID due to legal reasons I am not in control of. I showed them my high school and college ID and still they enforced me to leave with rude service. And to top it all off the security guard who is around 5’2 and I’m being generous, with curly hair and glasses followed me throughout the arcade and I felt that I was targeted. This is the worst experience living in the United States since I have been here 1/10

Fun place to play pool or bowling. The games are expensive, just be aware, but are usually always working. We rarely play the games, almost always play Pool. The Pool tables are clean and well taken care of. Its fairly easy to grab a beer and enjoy yourself. One downside is the extremely loud and constant announcements, reminding you they dont serve alcohol to minors. Another is the food is bland, not bad, just bland. The staff is always ready to help.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!management is a joke, and disrespectful. I made a complaint about the service of the bartender, or lack there of, and was mocked and harassed by Eric the manager who used foul language when conversing with me. I am not sensitive to that but it is extremely unprofessional, I was shocked and even made a comment to Eric about how unprofessional it was and he continued to do it. After nothing of our dispute was settled Eric left, later on we were refused service from the bar with no explanation, the assumption we’ve made is because we complained. That is textbook harassment and retaliation in the eyes of EEO and customer service. We requested the manager to return, he had a snarky attitude and continued to use foul language and offered to fix nothing. He could not provide us with a reason we were being denied service, then eventually came up with the lie that we were causing problems and wasting his employees time. The people in the lanes around us were laughing at this statement, we were all pretty much in shock. I didn’t know this was a COMMUNIST establishment. I was blunt but respectful and never threatening towards the manager and he eventually threatened me saying that the police were outside and he didn’t want to have to call them in. This was a hysterical statement and I immediately welcomed the company of our boys in blue. The officer approaches and I apologized for the establishment wasting his time. The officer stayed for about 15 seconds and said maybe 2 words and it seemed he has history with this place and these managers. Eric then asked us to leave and kicked us out forfeiting the rest of our bowling time, no reason was offered other than that we were causing problems. Apparently if you complain you are causing problems.After all that, if you like bowling the lanes suck and the scoring is glitchy, lighting is terrible as well.And if you’re doubting the character of our crowd, we are professionals and act accordingly. We had a police officer, nurse, fire fighter and two Physician Assistants in our group.Finally, this was the worst experience I have ever had at an establishment hands down, don’t complain or they will call the police and kick you out. Eric is a joke of a manager, completely worthless and had no idea what being a manager entails.Also, this was the short version of or story, there was many other smaller factors that play into our review, I honestly can’t think of one good thing to say about this place.AVOID!!!

Its very loud in here but I like it. There are a lot of games to play so its a great place to hang out, though a little pricey.

I wont be returning every again. If youre thinking about renting one of the party rooms here, just dont do it. They will expect you to leave your drinks, that you purchased at their establishment, on a table outside of the room unattended. Unattended near underaged teens, children, and adults...so because we felt uncomfortable about this, we opened the door, moved the table, and stood outside of the room with our drinks so we could still be engaged with the people that were still in the room. Security immediately came and demanded that we move the table, so we did. We stood outside of the room without the table and with our drinks in hand. The manager then comes and states that even the tip of my shoe being over the room line counted as me having my drink in the room. Long story short, security continued to harass us all night. We are all a bunch of professional adults who were just trying to have a good time. No one was acting inappropriately. The manager and security seemed set on enforcing the rule even down to the pettiness of my toe. On top of it all, the karaoke system wasnt working and we mentioned it to management multiple times. They were too concerned about us and our drinks to help us fix this problem. We were really looking forward to doing karaoke here and it was such a bust. Dont waste your money.

This place is great tons of games that you can spend hours playing if you have the money. There are memberships to pay less and play more. They have karaoke and Bolling. But with the Bolling there is very few lanes I believe about 5.

This review is based on comparison to the Japan round 1 establishment. Unfortunately I came here with high expectations of having a great experience like I did at the round one establishments I attended while I lived in Japan. $25 in Japan gets you access to three floors of arcades, darts, pool halls, ping pong, boxing, indoor skating, batting cage, basketball courts, archery just to name a few.Unfortunately this is just like a Dave and busters, memberships and different level player club cards. You can get a $10 card for 60 min unlimited game play at anything that lights up green, however most of them are old games that not many want to play. Getting the multicolor is the best option if you want to enjoy the entire establishment but expect to pay a good amount for that access.The place is conviniently located at the mall. The crowd was normal, not a lot of wait time to play video games, small bowling alley and pool hall.It would be great if they would apply some of the Japan business practices. Perhaps getting a bigger place maybe the 2nd floor?Anyways overall a good spot to take your kids or go have a drink and play games with friends.

Jacob, Kevin, Vincent, Dane, Tanner, Austin, Savanna, Rosie, Nathan, Mika, Bailey, Anthony, Jonas, were all so helpful and amazing. Best customer service ever. 17/10 would recommend.

Has amazing amount of arcades that you probably did not know that existed and it is great! Food and drinks are good for the price it offers.

AWESOME! Something for the whole family to enjoy. From Billiards to video games Round 1 is the place to go unwind with the family or a night out with friends. Bowling lanes were great! The Billiards room has 6 pool tables and is located by the Round 1 Bar... Yes a Bar complete with Big screen TVs showing sports games, and food. Fabulous prices.Extra large claw machines filled with the cutest stuffed toys and the latest in arcade games. This is an awesome addition to our already awesome town!

Waaaayyyyy to expensive, especially if you have a family!! Twice the price of D&Bs!!! Cool games but at that price they better be. Id rather go to Chucks and worry about the creepy rat

Wasnt the best experience. Power went out. Took about an hour to reload. I paid for two bowling games but by the time we ended the 1st one after the hour wait it was too late to have the second game do we kingly asked for a refund but was denied and given a voucher. For this situation I feel we should have been given a refund for the 2nd bowling game. I guess rules are rules.

We got the Time Play option where you only get to play a certain number of games. It was $10 for an hour and I thought that was worth it. Pretty fun!

Good food. Really cool place. Prices for bowling, and billiards was pretty good. The arcade games were outrageous!!!! Each game takes anywhere from 5-12 credits a piece!! The virtual reality game was 24 credits!!! They have a cool summer bowling pass thats reasonably priced. They have some pretty cool games, but to me its just not worth the money. They do have food and a bar.

Love the games. However, its too overpriced. They charge you extra for holidays on the unlimited arcade play green games only. $0.99 ice cream. App doesnt work. Japanese games-hard to learn how to play if you dont understand Japanese- should be dubbed.

It’s cool I like the bowling and the arcade I don’t recommend coming all the time because of kid’s birthdays cause the 4 hour wait but I like it since it’s not so crowded and there’s space walk to walk around.

Super fun, its very similar to the large arcades in Japan, games for kids & adults. Theres bowling, pool, food, and more besides the large arcade. Very clean & nice inside too. I recommend going during the week, it can get crazy on the weekends. During off hours in the early afternoon the place has no lines at all.

The arcade game selection is fantastic. A mix of games you can get decent play for the credits and others that will eat up your credits before you know what happened. Bowling was fun and the technology around the lanes was state-of-the-art. However, the shoes have grip on the heels, which I wasn’t aware of at first, causing me to stumble and then adjust my approach for the rest of the game. The pizza was FANTASTIC. We would go back just to eat the pizza!

Though I am a little disappointed that this location doesnt have Tekken, that alone cant take away from the fact that this place still has a wide selection of very fun games as well as some Japanese rhythm game imports.

This place is fun for the kiddos. Bowling, food and beer!

We had my daughters Birthday here yesterday and my host was not helpful at all. We waisted a lot of time waiting for things that should have already been set up prior to out arrival. The party kids never received their ice cream, I was overcharged, and the party rooms are pretty warm. I had people sweating in their. The food was good, but we wont be having another party here.

Unfortunately I have to give it at least one star to even leave a comment. But for me 3 strikes and youre out! Management is a joke with no common sense or customer skills each time I went, the third time was the last straw.First time: Went with friends for a couple of drinks and to hang. He was getting his new drivers license updated for the real one so DMV gave him a temporary paper along with his hole punched DL so it still has his picture but when the new one comes he doesnt have 2. Every place accepts it but here. He even showed his Firefighter ID and they wanted to be difficult so we left and took our money elsewhere where the management used common sense.Second experience on a different day: Kids wanted to play at the arcade so we got them game cards. Our son said he didnt swipe it that many times but he thinks one of the machines withdrew more than once. Which happens, its a machine and they are flawed. Any other place you can let them know and boom theyll replace the credit. Especially when you have spent money on multiple cards for multiple kids. Nope not here, they wanted to check the cameras first. Are you kidding? For a credit for a 15 year old?Last and final this place will never get my business or money ever again: A group of working professionals and coworkers want to karaoke. We all get banded after showing our ID to order drinks. Order drinks then head to the our assigned room. Security busts in, not politely or calmly by the way to say we cant have our drinks in the karaoke room. No reason but its their policy. Then they said per management they have to recheck our ID’s even though we literally walked from bar to karaoke area. Fine. Our concern was why would we place our drinks on the table outside the karaoke room on the arcade floor with kids walking around to get ahold of or some jerk puts something in it. They didnt care they were pushy about no drinks inside we purchased from them. Okay fine. We stand at the door and try and enjoy ourselves. Nope not good enough because some people holding their drinks foot was crossing the entryway here comes the manager threatening to kick us out and exaggerating how many times weve been warned. He had to be reminded the first time was the drinks that we had no idea was not allowed inside and this was him letting us know our foot couldnt be near the entry. His demeanor was so rude! We of course carry on to enjoy the rest of the evening and not let it get to us. The karaoke machine was messing up so we asked for help. A rude young lady comes in with attitude and treated us like she didnt want to help. Whatever we try and brush that off. Then as I sit on the couch I see a used pad on the floor under the coffee table. How gross is that. Of course we dont want them to think its ours so we bring it to their attention. Their response? We need to leave before they call the police. Like sir, we point out the pad and now we have to leave and then try to justify it with the whole beer that happens way before? Why would you threaten to calL the cops? For what? And did that scare us? No because we work along side with them and they know our character, again were professionals. Night ruined. Security wouldnt even give their names because they need to be written up for sure.Bottom line... STAY AWAY. Dont waste your money, time, energy. The whole place, employees, security, and manager treated us horribly. And Im not exaggerating at all. Worst 3 experiences ever!

If youre a fan of Dave & Busters, then just make the extra drive and go there and skip this place. Its really expensive. It takes a lot of tokens per game, and for little yield on tickets. The games remind me phone apps blown up super size. Nothing exciting. Theres no restaurant like D&B has. You have to go to a kiosk, type in your order, pay, then take the paid ticket to the counter and they will prepare food. Then they call a number and you can pick up your food to eat. not that the food in Dave and Busters is fantastic or anything, but this food is definitely subpar. There is extremely limited seating. I think there are three booths and a handful of tables. Again, if youre looking more of a D&B experience then do the drive because its much better. Oh, and the A/C was off or set too high. It was STIFLING in there!

I love this arcade chain, at this location its a bit up tight

Very large place with lots of very interesting video games and things to play. The kids love it, but my bank account dosnt !

Me and my family really liked the place! Although, I think that the ticket currency is rigged. We had won 180 tickets each in Bowling, but when we checked our tickets, we only had 304.I suggest trying out the car racing games. Some have surround sound and vibrations.

Great place to take family or friends at. Bowling was fun and was mildly surprise that we were able to keep our shoes. My only complaint was everything was over priced expect for bowling, probably the cheapest Ive seen to bowl during the week. Would recommend for other people to go to and will come back.

Wasnt too crowded, went at a good time and was able to enjoy the time there

Great place for kids. They have every game imaginable and food

Great place to kill time. They need more games though. Also they need to decrease the amount you have to play per game. Other than that it was amazing.

Games are pricey but great place to have some kid fun and you will spend a bit of money on games.. Beer is available for adults, great atmosphere up to date music is playing and a lot of laughter ..

Nice place to go occasionally, not all the time because its expensive, especially bowling.

Close at 7, came at 533 said we can play pool cause its too close to closing time ...

Soooo much fun!

It was fun & great 1st time ever going there, great music & food...only down fall is they didnt have any ice cream

This relatively new arcade opened in the Promenade mall where downstairs Sears use to be. Its nice on the inside. There are arcade games, claw machine games, a prize center, bar for alcoholic drinks, and bowling lanes. This place usually seems to be busy and this holds true on weekends. The facilities are pretty clean for the amount of people who are in the building which is always a positive. The only downside would be the lack of space to move around since many of the arcade machines are close to each other. Prices for tokens are also expensive given its location in the mall. Overall I would highly recommend, even if you dont play any games its still fun to walk around there an see all the games they offer.

Great place good food,lots of fun for any age

This place is awesome. Fist time playing on an actual Japanese arcade cabinet. Priceless

This place is too expensive, and the games aren’t worth it. Food isn’t all that. Not only that, but managers give you a mocking attitude and aren’t friendly at all. Justin has an entitled, white privileged attitude. Wouldn’t come back, I don’t recommend this place to anyone. DO NOT spend your money here.

The Bowling alley was clean and tidy. The shoes you have to rent are all new. The attendant removed balls as people left. The pool tables are new and tournament size. They charge hourly for pool which is quite a bit more expensive than pins and pockets in which you pay per game. Super fun place. The only problem is that the food is terrible. On the level of cafeteria food. I ordered a hamburger and it was quite bland. I recommend coming here after stopping by the food court.

Really nice place to just go out with friends and/or family. They have so many activities you can do from bowling to karaoke, billiard tables to a huge arcade area...the employees are amazingly nice, professional, knowledgeable and helpful...will definetly be returning in the future...

Great place to go for family fun. Could have better quality food.

All honesty they really didn’t care about anything anyone has to say. Thanks to manager Karina we took our party of five and walked right out all from a disrespectful attitude. Very disappointed from this Temecula establishment, will not be returning until a customer gets treated with an upmost respect.

Only good thing About this place is the beer, get drunk while you spend 50 bucks on arcade games and win a tootsie roll

Great place, clean and nice atmosphere. Very attentive and friendly staff. Will definitely be back.

Love that they rotate the video games. Always something new!

Round 1 Has tons of opportunities for adults and kids to enjoy entertainment. Whenever a friend of mine comes to visit, we always go to a round 1

Great place for a party. Arcade is very much like the Round 1 in Japan! If it had the Table Flipping game, I would give it 6 stars.

Love Round 1, this particular one is a bit new but decked with most of the nitty gritty of the core games. Apart from being a tad far & needing R1 in San Diego, the staff here has been the worst out of any the SoCal Round 1, I consider still using the LA locations often based on that fact and the arcade culture being more friendly. Thats the reason for docked star... San Diego has the culture and many mom&pop barcades, its only lacking the R1. Temeculas management isnt likely going to improve soon, and to be honest Im certain it has nothing to do with the actual higher R1 management; the managers at this location are actually pretty decent, and have done a great job. However its the staff that seems to make very questionable judgement calls considering theyre job is to make R1 money instead of drive away customers with their [in]considerations.

I would recommend this place it was alot of fun all kinds of arcade games bowling area really nice they have a party area too good food pizza was good everything was decently priced definitely a good place to go for a night out with friends or family or kids

Fun games ...$1.99 wine good pizza

Don’t like this place at all it’s messy and they need more people to help clean and the staff is kinda rude

So my family and I went for my birthday on the 7th and I had a lot of fun. Now some of the games were on the fritz however there are a lot of people going to this arcade and Im sure there are people who tamper with the machines. We went for the private Karaoke room. We stayed for 3 hours singing and it was so much fun. We will be going back again because it was a blast and its nice to have it all to ourselves.

Fun games, awesome beer specials... Best. Arcade. Ever.

Where do I start. It’s basically a casino for kids. 2 hour wait for a lane and we got here at 530. There is a line for the bar, but no signs that say you don’t order there. So then once you’re told you can’t get a drink you have to go to a kiosk and order. But then get back in line at the bar to pay and pick up. Long lines at both. By the time you’re ready for another drink you should have already been in line for the next drink. Lanes are super slick and affect how you bowl. Never got a second drink because the lines were so long. Spend your money at the older bowling alleys!

I thought the music was a bit loud in the bowling lanes. You could barely hear what other people were saying. I can only imagine what its like on a busy night. Everything was clean. Nice bathrooms. Subpar food.

Spent my Grandsons 8th birthday there. He had a wonderful time! Oh, the nachos were the best ever! Great price too!

The boiling was great the lanes was incredible. But the claw machines are rigged and I got half in the hole but the head was sticking up and they did not give it to me and they were stingy I spent 40 bucks and it went down the drain I was so upset

Customer service is beast mode I had almost lost my card an they went through all the proper procedures to returning it to me an everything was with a warm smile my little niece had a blast at all the games an won a faor amount of prizes,Im definitely returning here again with my wife,on my ma

My daughter and I enjoyed Iron Maiden Pinball... But I have to say the Munsters was the best machine!!

The pizza is under cooked and over priced! Establishment is dirty. Eat elsewhere. Games are fun though!

Friendly staff! Fun environment, not obnoxiously loud like dave and busters and has a better and wider array of arcade games.

This was the most fun Ive had in a long time... So many games and the beer is reasonably priced which is awesome for a place so nice.

What a joke this place is!! I’d give it a zero stars if possible. Owners need to hire new people to run their business that actually care about the customers spending the crazy money we do for games!We’re told 10 min. for a bowling lane, after three visits to the counter and told they would get the lane ready in a few more minutes we ended up leaving after an hour!My wife went up to speak with the manager in charge and he basically argued back that he didn’t believe anyone would’ve told us what they did or it would take 10 min.I’ll take my business to other bowling alleys or to Mulligans fun center down the road and be sure to tell all our family that lives local.Learn how to treat your customers!

My grandkids have a lot of fun. A lot of games to choose from.

Very nice workera and has a huge selection of games. From groove coaster to sound voltex its an amazing place

Came to this one because the Santa Ana location said theyd sent my wife and is favorite game to this location, wasnt there. Worse than that I got told I couldnt use my card with money on it from their other location because theyre on a new system so I was told Id need to buy and load a new card. Felt big and clean but Id avoid until a little later. Ill update my review if my next experience is better.

A few co-workers and I went to round 1 to play some pool after work. The management is terrible we where denied service 2 hours before closing. The excuse management gave was we close our cash drawers early so we can clean only the arcade stays open...maybe you should advertise that instead of saying you are open till 2am. NOT COMING BACK

Nice spot to play billiards and bowl

Was awesome playing ping pong

Round 1 is like the crane and game arcades I visited when I was in Japan. It is very nice and clean and has lots of Japanese style games.

Fun place to hang out.

I did enjoy this place and would give it 5 stars if it wasnt so exspensive. Its as bad as gambling

Who ever the guy is with the mustache I think a hes a manger. Was rude, unprofessional, and honestly was having a power trip when I spoke to him. If you are checking Ids at the bar (using that loosely because this place only serves beer, wine, and sake) and at the door there shouldnt be a problem with 18 threw 20 coming inside to go bowling or whatever else they want inside. Even Dave and Busters isnt that crazy from what Ive seen. Might as well go to a Dave and Busters or the bowling alley in lake elsinore.

Pretty cool place, especially upon the first visit. But then the wow factor wore off halfway in when you realize how expensive the place is.

Plenty of arcade games...

Great spot to hang out with friends and have a good time

Expensive as hell. Fun place

Fun and probably better than other arcade places

Way overpriced! Bowling only one game with 5 people cost $50. Anywhere else would be under $15. Ridiculous prices! The claw machines are also totally rigged and dont even clamp down at all. Also, the air hockey game only lets you play for ~3 minutes before it shuts off. Go elsewhere. This place is way too pricey.

Came here opening night, bar service was very slow, I highly suggest them opening up at least an other counter. And it was very hot, might have been because of all of the people Inside(it was a very busy night). But all of the staff and management was extremely helpful!

Still a great place to bowl, drink, and play fantastic amazing arcade games with amazing prizes in stock!

Place is great, high school staff sucks

Place is great and fun, but the cranes and other machines with prizes are extremely rigged

Massive fun zone, professional and friendly staff

Scam artists. They overcharge and misdirect with their prices.

Great concept, they opened at the beginning of April and took over the lower level of Sears. Bowling, crane games, pinball, video games, and a lot of other ticket based games.They also have a snack bar. Only complaint is that the games are all fairly expensive. Many are $2-$3.

Very nice touch added to Temecula Valley. Its starting to feel more like a big city by the day. Love it.

We had much fun.

Every game you can think of! Lots of ticket type games with prizes to win with them. Bar for beer and wine. Line for beer was way too long. Need to figure out how to serve everyone. Only reason they didnt get a 5 star from me. Had a lot of fun here though.

It so awesome! Best for families and parties, recommand go and worth it, eventually card that you can save up too, but, unfortunely it only place and bit far from where i live. Hope it will grow bigger across cities. The more people it will grow!!!

Fun games and nice employees.

Thankful for additional entertainment at the mall. Hope to try the bowling alley Billiards & karaoke sometime soon
