Round1 Bowling & Arcade at North Star Mall offers a wide variety of activities all under one roof, including bowling, arcade games with exclusive Japan imports, over 150 crane machines, professional billiards, and karaoke. There is a full menu with pizza, wings, ice cream, Japanese food classics, and a bar. It is described as an amazing place with enough room for everyone, providing fun for families, friends, and kids. Many guests report having a really good time and enjoy the cute prizes and yummy drinks and snacks. The selection of Japanese games and the rhythm games are highlights. However, experiences can be mixed. Some find the place too pricey, noting that games cost a lot and there are no deals on bowling. The unlimited game option is considered not a good deal. Wait times for lanes or billiards can be long, sometimes around an hour. Reviews mention that the food and service can be horrible, with slow service causing a long wait for orders. Some specific menu items, like ramen, are sometimes unavailable, and certain favorite games have been removed. Additional minor frustrations include employees being hesitant to provide bags for prizes and the business not accepting military ID for verification, requiring a civilian ID instead. Some guests also note that crane machines are sometimes empty or have malfunctions, though staff typically resolve issues. While many love the place and spend a lot of time and money there, others find the overall experience inconvenient and too expensive, leading them not to return.
