Excellent atmosphere for friends and games but food wasn't really that good but it was still okay considering the price. It would be better if the room was a bit more balanced in the air conditioning...

Was fun and cosy. Would be cool if there were round tables for bigger crowds, for easier engagement when playing one game. Also, do put on your website that only non-cash payments are allowed. We almost couldn't pay.

Good selection of games! Wouldn't visit just for the food though. Staff were friendly and attentive enough. Some of the bigger groups were very noisy, but I guess that's expected!

The food was not up to standard, a plate of pasta that wasn't worth my $10, even Pastamania serves better and cheaper. Onion rings were doughy, no onion at all. Overall a really bad experience that even the games couldn't salvage.

Overall it is ok although it is crowded on a Thursday night. Too bad the eat-all-you-can is now limited to a limited buffet spread, but you can still order from the desserts menu!

Promotion was good deal as you can eat-all-you-can from the menu, including food, drinks and desserts while you are gaming for three hours. Hope it will come back.

Nice environment with friendly staff where they will always approach you for refill of drinks. However, it's a little crowded during peak hours where we need to beware of our volume.

Variety of free flow drinks and snacks. Staff were friendly and helpful. The music is a bit loud so better to get a table far away from the speakers to have your fun.

If your goal is to play games, Mind cafe have lots of it! The staff there are very friendly and they teach well! However I think that the snacks variety could be improved. The web interface for mobile could be improved as well as I couldn't click/enter certain links. Overall, I enjoyed my time there.

I would give 7/10 Overall, I think its a decent place to just play board games. The service was good, They do give freeflow of some decent snacks and drinks The meal food wasn't very good tho. If noone in your group knows many board games, there is a chance you won't have fun. The staff do suggest and teach you how to play the games, but I feel their suggestions and knowledge could be better.

One of the newest game I. E. Coup was quite fun. Ambience is OK if you get seats that are in a separate room. They should always have someone at the counter because no one was there for 5 minutes and their people were mainly at the pantry. Other than that, game masters were friendly, service was good ultimately. Price was also reasonable.

It was not clear online that they do not take cash, only card. The games were fun and would go again but it was sometimes hard to get attention of workers for games/refills on drinks/snacks.

Took away the option to pay cash. Which is a bummer. And not enough staff who knows how to explain and teach games. Should teach the staffs on the games to complete the experience.
