Out of all the claw arcades I've been to this one felt strange to me. The one thing I noticed was,…read morethere wasn't an employee on site. I might be wrong with that but there was no one else other than myself and the nieces during my visit. (maybe they were hiding) The prizes were better than other arcades. There are a fair number of claw machines available and thats that! Parking: underground private lot VERDICT: One and done

It's fine to go kill a bit of time if you're waiting for an event to start or for your dining…read morereservation or just to walk off a meal. It's a small arcade with an off brand Cars coin operated ride for kids right at the front. There's a couple of the bigger crane games and the smaller crane games. There's also games for tickets/points that you can exchange for prizes in the back. Some arcade games as well. You just have to exchange money for tokens. Almost every thing here (like 90%) is bootlegged, non official merchandise, so just keep that mind so you don't make it a money sink. Don't think I've ever spent money here but it's alright to look around if you've already walked through Daiso.

I don't come here too often but when i do its always a great experience. Each of the workers have…read morealways been very friendly and accommodating. They were very patient with helping me out each time. The last time i was here i brought my younger cousins to play Valorant, that's all they wanna do when they come to visit, which i get lol, i kinda miss those days. The computers aren't the fastest with a crazy gpu or cpu but they are good enough to run most games. The games i've played is LoL, TFT and Valorant all of which had no problem. The prices are very reasonable as well. The inside is clean and the bathroom. They are cool with letting you bring boba in which is cool because they have two boba places in the same plaza. Good community of gamers each time i've been which is nice because sometimes the crowd can ruin the experience. Parking is never an issue either.

Great prices for what you get. Computers are great, no lag. Staffs cool very friendly.read more

She was so kind, helpful, and patient with our group. She went above and beyond to make sure the kids had a wonderful time, and thanks to her, they were able to create core memories they'll be talking about for a long time. Watching our kids and their friends laugh, celebrate their wins, and enjoy the experience made the visit truly special. Thank you, Rae, for making our day unforgettable! We can't wait to come back!

The nieces and I have been addicted to claw machine arcades and want to check out the different…read moreones in our areas. Claw Daddy came up as one on the route to City of Industry at the Montebello Town Center of the 60 Fwy. The place is a bit tiny and has a lot of charm. For me the prizes were ok but they do have a trade up wall with better prizes to claim. I see a lot of success in this place with its location in the mall and with all of the kids that want to visit when their parents want to do their shopping. Parking: large private lot VERDICT: One and done

I was excited to learn that there was a claw machine arcade nearby (I'm used to going to Claw Daddy…read moreat the Montebello Mall or various other locations in Vegas). I am the queen of Claw Machines and this place really had me struggling. My dad, who suffers from dementia, enjoys claw machine arcade games so I decided to bring him here since it was closer than Claw Daddy. He loves the thrill of winning a prize , and loves stuffed animals. I thought this place would be easy like the other claw arcades but I was bummed to learn it wasn't. The claw would close around the item just fine, but the strong pressure of the recoil would shake the fingers open and drop the toy back into the pit. Unless the item is near the opening to begin with, then chances of the recoil causing the toy to go toward the chute then you won't be winning anything. We got $70 worth of coins and only won 5 things. The previous weekend we had spent $60 at Claw Daddy and won 20 plushies lol Also, parking is a nightmare. It's in a small plaza with limited parking.

Good I can still be…read moresemiloyal I love this place but today when we went we found out they decided to have only some of the machines award tickets. This is ridiculous I don't care if people are getting good at your games. This is the point!! I, as well as many others, are highly goal motivated and this takes the fun out of so many of my favorite games. Ridiculous. I really did love this place and expected better from you guys. However if they fix this I will be so happy to play the games like they used to be again!!!

Stranger things is probably the best game they have. It also gives you a work out. Glad they add…read morenew games since the last time. I got enough tickets to get a gaara and a blind ball. I was sad that i got the only one i didnt want from the blind ball... Gamakichi. I wanted inosuke but even kon, akamaru, kurama wouldve been but. But gamakichi has grown on me and is cute. We hit a jackpot that said 1000 but we were only give 815 or something like that. Do they tax prizes now.

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!

They have food and the food is decent , pretty basic bar food but hits the spot. Their drinks are always good! They're made well and fast. Service is great. The bartenders are always attentive even in a rush. Ambiance doesn't get better than this. A retro arcade that offers a great vibe for a date night or even with a group of friends! Overall , I love the Barcade. Will always come back.

Still have never actually eaten here... but I've been here enough to talk about it…read more First off, this place is BIG. Like actually big. Good for birthdays, group hangs, events, all that. You're not cramped in here fighting for space. Game-wise... don't come here expecting anything crazy. There's nothing super serious for hardcore gamers, no rare cabinets or anything you're gonna geek out over. It's more like solid, familiar stuff. That said, it does work really well as a date spot because there's a lot of co-op games, so you're not just standing there awkwardly -- you actually have something to do. Now the food... I still haven't gone deep into it, but the wing deal is actually a good deal for these times, which is rare. That alone makes it worth pulling up on a Tuesday. Menu is kinda big though, and anytime I see a big menu like that I start side-eyeing the kitchen a little bit... like yeah some of this gotta be frozen But overall? It's a good spot for wings and beer without spending Ye Rustic money. If you're trying to keep it chill and not blow your wallet, this is a solid move. Not a gamer spot, not a foodie spot... just a good hang.
