It's in a small plaza - at night there's plenty of parking When you go into your KTV room it's clean to say the least. You can tell that the room has seen many performances in there. The mic would keep turning it self off and you would have to click it to turn back on. The selection of music was nice, up to date and you have the option to play music from YouTube. Didn't have a chance to try their food or drinks since we ate before we came but prices look a bit high for certain items. Like a plate of oranges for almost $15?? I can go to Costco and buy a 5lb bag for $6! Rooms look nice (had the small room) just wished they had more stalls for bathrooms, literally only 2 private restrooms for men and females so there could be a line when you really need to go other than that it wasn't bad here!

Warning that they have no AC so it can get warm especially when you're into your game. Dim lighting and pop music in the background. You get the billiard balls from the counter after telling the staff how many people. It's $14 for single player and $16 for 2-4 players. Note that they are cash only! The cue sticks are by the wall. You bring back the balls once you're done and ready to pay. They have restrooms inside, not sure how clean they are. Overall a good spot to play pool at a decent price.

The equipment was well kept and seemed new. Drinks and food were cheap. Cons: it was HOT in there. I was sweating. Bathroom looked clean but very smelly. 30 min wait for a table.

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!

TLDR: Improved technology, more modern look, still affordable…read more I had been meaning to check out this newly reopened bowling alley for a while now, so I'm glad I finally got to go! I'm not sure if it's being run by the same owner or if someone else took over, but the building looks much more modern now. It's a little bittersweet to see all the nostalgic pieces of my childhood gone, but it's hard to deny that it's for the best. Prices were still pretty affordable. The staff member let us know that there's a cheaper deal on weekdays, which is pretty normal for bowling alleys. There is clearly a lot more seating on the top floor. The addition of all the tables is really nice. I also noticed that they removed the extra TVs that used to either play ads or sports and stuff. They also got rid of all the pool tables that I never saw anyone use. The screens and control panels are all updated to this modern design too. Something else that was interesting was how the old bowling ball racks were moved to the side of the building to make room for bag hooks behind the people bowling. Although it's a good idea, it's kind of hard to watch your belongings when they're behind you like that, so it leaves your stuff kind of open for stealing. It's also easier to grab the bowling ball you need though because they're all in one place instead of spread across the whole building. The only thing that I kind of hate is the seating down by the alley. There's actually less seating down there with these standalone dining table sets replacing the old benches. Since our party arrived when there were many other people there, we only had one side of the lane while strangers were on the other side. It's just a little awkward to sit at a dining table with strangers like that. Not to mention, the seating arrangement left a lot of people standing and kind of made it hard to communicate with each other. In terms of bowling mechanics, I think the amount of time it takes for the bowling ball to return has been reduced significantly. I'm so glad we don't have to wait ages for the ball to return for the second throw! The machine also didn't seem to experience incorrect racking, which used to happen all the time here. Sadly, the screen does not tell you the mph your throw was at anymore. I always thought that was a very helpful feature, so it's a shame to see it go. Lastly, the floors seemed well cleaned and waxed. I didn't have to powder my shoes and felt like my bowling ball glided pretty smoothly down the alleyway. Overall, I think this bowling alley is nice. I'm glad to have an alley that's close to my house again!

My favorite item was the spicy tuna on crispy toast - I wish I had ordered another one! The rainbow roll was delicious. I would've liked to try their other rolls instead of the skewers I ordered. I loved the cotton candy machine - I've never seen anything like it before. The service was great - they were really kind and helpful. The inside was nice and cool, I sat in the restaurant side since I didn't do karaoke. I liked the large tvs in that room. They also have darts and cute little games.

Came for happy hour on a weekday to give it a try ~ heard that this place gives you the price per…read morehead as food credit to order off a HUGE menu (including yakitori and sushi). The overall rooms are clean with updated song banks in many languages. Service is just like any typical karaoke service (minimal but just enough). Overall food quality is good BUT sushi is only available on selected days so be sure to check before you go. Was originally going to give 3.5 star but there's no half star option. -1 star due to weekday happy hour only 6-8 so very short happy hour time yet the store does not open 10 min in advance but instead opens right at 6 so after checking in (they make you provide your phone number to send you a very long text to read before you're assigned a room) you'll be at your room around 6:10 (could be even later if there's more parties present at same time). -0.5 because since happy hour is only 2 hours (technically speaking), you have to place ALL your order before 7. Any orders placed after 7 are considered additional purchases and cannot be deducted by the food credit. So you have to spend another 10 min to decide your food options so for large parties, I don't recommend weekday happy hour, not worth your time for 1.5 hours. Their weekend happy hour is longer but busier so might find a chance to give that a try.

Things got more expensive and they hustle you for drinks…read more This place is still good if you are older and drinking with buddies. The karaoke happening in the background might be too loud to have a conversation. And there are always singers even there are only 3-4 tables in the place. The waitresses are still older ladies in their early to late 40's and are obviously there for male clientele although there were more female clientele this time around. A couple of changes from last time: They renovated so the seats are more comfortable. Beers have been increased to $4.50 a beer and they bring by a bucket of beer. You pay for what you take from the bucket. The bad part is that they have waitresses just come by and open beers and just leave them on the table. Let's say you have 3 people, the waitress will come by, open a 4th bottle, pour herself a small shot, cheers everyone, and leave. Even after you said you are looking to sober up to drive, they'll keep opening beers at your table and charge you for it, which is a really shady practice. And it's not like we didn't order a lot of food so I don't know why they are trying to hustle $4.50 beers. They also automatically charge a 15% tip when you check out. Which is fine but their service leaves something to be desired. Especially the hit and run beer hustle they have going on.

This place used to have hostesses play dice and drink with customers My favorite hostess was Rose who could speak Cantonese and English. She was also a good singer.

They just wanted me to keep ordering food and drinks and tip them. I can see that some customers were talking drugs and gone crazy. I don't think I would go back there again.
