Round1 Bowling & Arcade - San Jose

Fun place for kids but each game takes multiple credits and they burned through $30 each in less than an hour. They offer unlimited games for $8 for 90 minutes but the games you're allowed to play is limited. Also the DDR dance games require special admission credits to play. The regular cards are an extra $2, yearly membership cards $5 and an extra $2 to get a card with illustration on it. There's also bowling, food, claw machines, karaoke, and heard there's indoor pickleball but didn't see it.

Since it has the transformers arcade game Ill give it 5 stars because love it it was very fun and it’s was so much fun yippee 😀

The interior was very warm, I'd suggest bringing a portable fan to beat the heat. Fairly packed on the Sunday I visited as expected, but for some reason after a certain point.. the prize corner was closed off? I would understand if the place was packed and more manpower was needed elsewhere, but there was no explanation, or sign to say that someone would be back. At least most of the people in the arcade were nice, just wish the people running the place were a bit more considerate that night.

This is a great entertainment venue that offers a broad variety of amusements to keep you busy. Similar in many ways to a Dave & Busters, but with a distinctly Japanese flair. This particular site features a bowling alley that we tried out. The game was fun - the equipment worked perfectly and the ancillary items (balls and shoes) were a good fit with plenty of options. The arcade machines come in a dizzying array of types - there's things here I've never seen before. The food court is pretty good, offering a good mix of American style favorites (burgers and fries) as well as Japanese food (Teriyaki bowls and Takoyaki for instance). The drinks cover the spectrum of sodas (tap and bottled) as well as Japanese favorites like Calpico and Ramune. They serve some alcohol here, mostly in the form of beers and hard ciders. The prices are reasonable considering the venue and area. This location is sited in a large mall, so when you're done playing you can go do some shopping. If the food options are not to your liking there's more available in the mall. Overall a very nice venue for family fun or hanging with friends. Might even make a fun date night.

My son loves to bowl. We rented a lane for 3 hours so he could play with his friends 🧡 their food was decent, its a fun place for everyone 😉
