    Great place to bowl with the family. We are 3 and spent $24 to bowl including the shoe rental. Good service and kid friendly.

    Love this place! We mainly visit to dine at Gardena Bowl Coffee Shop, and occasionally, if the bowling alley isn't too busy, we'll stay for a couple of games. Prices are reasonable, and the lanes have automatic bumpers for kids - which is really nice if you're bowling with a little one but want to be able to play without them. I am only a casual bowler, but my impression is that the balls, lanes, and equipment are all in very good condition. And everyone I've encountered that works here is really friendly and helpful.

    It's friendly, always busy with hungry people. This is a place where anyone can befriend a stranger before the meal is over. Waiters and waitresses are hard working and keep your cup full. The food is fantastic, especially the pancake! Okay sweet sour ribs, alright bacon fried rice, oh wait garlic chicken. I can go on and on, but you should try it.

    Laidback bowling alley with a Hawaiian cafe and separate bar located inside. They have rental shoes available at the counter including half sizes. Came here on a Sunday around 4pm and it was busy, but we were still able to get a lane for us two. The employees are laidback and friendly. Credit cards accepted. They do have food and alcohol available for purchase for you to enjoy at the lanes. Free parking lot available. If there’s overflow, you can park in the surrounding residential area. The bowling alley is a bit on the older side, but there’s a charm to it. Good vibes all around.

    This cafe has been serving the community for over 50 years offering a variety of cuisines including Hawaiian, Japanese, and American. The cafe and extensive menu is served all day. Portions are large but I only wish the food had more flavour...

    Very well kept bowling alley. It's basic, no flashy lights and loud music. Staff are friendly and helpful. The prices are really good too. Overall, It's a great place to get some reps in.

    I walked in with my kiddos and an older gentleman behind the counter looked at me then whispered something to a female worker and she told me they were closing early for the night and there was a half hr wait (it was just after 3pm when i arrived and they said they were closing at 5pm on a thursday).. not sure why the guy just didn't tell me. I did not feel welcomed.

    First time here. Good ole fashioned bowling alley. Bowling prices are great. $5 per bowler per game. They have a restaurant inside, the food was great but it gets packed and it may be awhile until you get your food. Luckily you can get it to go and they allow you to eat at your lane. (only food allowed has to be from their restaurant). They open at 9am. Lanes fill up fast, arrive early. Great experience, my son loved playing with his buddy.

    One of the best coffee shops around, anywhere. Consistently higher quality that you will typically find, and a diverse menu. Friendly efficient service as well. For traditional American, Hawaiian or Asian-Hawaiian (is that correct?) fare, this place delivers. Prices are fair too.

    I love this place! Lots of simple, tasty food and many down- home Hawaiian favorites as well as Asian specialties (my personal favorites). They also prepare and serve delicious all- American sandwiches, burgers and plates. Staff is casual and friendly.

    Gardena Bowl is a classic bowling alley with charm and character. The alley itself is well-maintained, with plenty of lanes available for both league play and casual games. While the morning leagues can make it a bit intimidating for newcomers, the atmosphere is generally welcoming and friendly. One of the highlights of Gardena Bowl is the coffee shop, which offers a variety of hot and cold beverages as well as light snacks and pastries. It's a great place to grab a quick bite or relax with a coffee before or after bowling. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the prices are reasonable. In addition to bowling, Gardena Bowl also offers pool tables, which is an excellent addition to the space and provides another activity for customers to enjoy. The tables are well-maintained, and the cues are in good condition. The pool area is well-lit and spacious, which makes it a comfortable place to play. The only potential downside to Gardena Bowl is that the space can get crowded during peak times, especially on weekends. However, this is to be expected at a popular bowling alley, and it doesn't detract from the overall experience. Overall, Gardena Bowl is a fun and affordable option for anyone looking to enjoy a game of bowling with friends or family. The coffee shop and pool tables add to the overall experience, and the staff are friendly and helpful. While it can get crowded during peak times, it's a great place to spend an afternoon or evening with friends and family.

    The diner at Gardena Bowl is just fabulous. I've eaten there several times, and the food is always delish. They have Hawaiian and Japanese foods. The teriyaki steak and tempura is my favorite 😍 😋 The fried wontons are scrumptious. They serve breakfast all day. My friend loves the pancakes 🥞

  • 4/5 Doy K. 1 year ago on Google
    Place is nice and the food is good... can't seem to get in any bowling cause there's always a league night happening pretty much ever night. Still not a bad place to go if u wanna shoot pool and grab some decent grub

    Poor service with unfair treatment of new guests with preferential treatment given to the friends of the manager. Couldn’t even get in on a weekday to celebrate a birthday
