The place is okay. The concept is good, food and games. The bathrooms however stinks! The staff is very helpful. Prompt service, if it wasn't for the disgusting bathroom.. I would have given it a highter rating.

Fun games! Staff were very friendly and helped to recommend and explain the games to us. Went in a group of 7 and it was hard to find games because few of the games catered to such a large number.

Helpful staff! They had people who showed us how to play a few games we haven't tried before. They could work on being stocked up better as they seemed to run out of certain drinks in the early afternoon. Cash payment should be accepted as well.

The time of 2 hours is way too little for $20 spent. It should be 3h instead to take into account the amount of time needed to consume our meals.

The night was made really great with excellent service from the service staff and the games were also really fun. Maybe smth to improve could be how the games are sorted because had some difficulty to find the game we wanted due to the mess!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
