I rarely ever leave reviews, but I feel like this time I should. I really liked the idea of this bar and the games available! The issues I had are with the male bartender, he didn’t give his name. We came in for our friends going away party and we were all treated really poorly, and I couldn’t understand why. We all work in customer service, so we understand people can have off days, but this didn’t seem like an off day. It seems like he is very used to and comfortable with being rude. I remember asking if I could try the ramen and his response was “uh yeah you can try it after you buy it” as if I wasn’t literally trying to purchase it. After I bought It I walked around the corner to play a quick game with my son, since ramen takes a few minutes(waiting on water to boil then cooking) and walked back and was told in a snarky way, “why would you even order something if you’re just going to walk away”. Also mind you this was a weekday and it was super slow when we came. There were a few other issues with him but it’s just too much to write at this point. I wanted so badly to love this place, but now it’s just a sour taste in my mouth. If the bartender(who is the main problem in many bad reviews on multiple sites) were to be let go then I’d give this place a chance again.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this establishment did NOT have regular "American" arcade games...all of the games are actually in Japanese!! It gives the place an entirely different feel, and it's fabulous! The bar serves a wide array of drinks, but they focus on saké drinks to keep with the atmosphere. They also have league e-sport competitions going on. This place is great, and I highly recommend for a night out of gaming.

Okay so the arcade is actually super cool! BUT one of the male bartenders is super rude. After talking to some other people who’ve visited, I found out that it’s not only my group who have been treated this way. Hopefully the Dbag bartender with facial hair, and short man syndrome is fired so I can enjoy my time here

Bri and Rudy are great bartender's. Be patient they will get to you as fast and friendly as possible. Especially for a weekend. They have a lot of fun arcade games. I had a blast on the fighting games and so much more! Fun adult date

Heavy focus on the bar and the arcade. I wouldn't go here expecting much more than a cup of instant ramen if you're looking to eat.The arcade has a good selection of games, however, and they host some excellent tournaments for a variety of games.

Great arcade bar which is always fun to visit. Lots of rare/Japan-exclusive arcade games, including many rhythm games and fighting games, all of which can be played for one dollar or less. Lots of creative cocktails at a decent price. Fun events held fairly often.Parking: Sits on a large parking lot, parking should not be an issue.Kid-friendliness: Not very kid friendly? Definitely not *small* kids. While it is an arcade it is also a bar, and additionally it is usually quite loud. I'd say teens and above.
