Nice and cozy place. Wide variety of board games and it's easily accessible. Friendly staff there but the area is slightly small. The food is not the cheapest but it's decent

The restaurant was a little smelly because of the food smell when walking up the stairs. Some of the board games have food smell as well. It was quite unpleasant to touch the board games.

Aircon was not working and it was warm. Many games variety but mostly not completed set or some spoil. Due to shortage of manpower the service was not so good.

Its a very cool concept to eat and play games at the same time. Food were nice, however, the portion is a little small. Also, they probably need to have more staff. Overall, it was a pleasant experience! Will go over again 😊

In my opinion, my overall experience has been great, except that the drinks needs to be improved greatly, it was really terrible, please do something about the coffee drinks, but no worries, ice water is still great. Thank you

Staff here are generally nice. Board games provided are really full of variety and I don't even know most games! Good place for friends who want to interact more, shout and yell their way through fun games. :)

It was fun and there were many games where we could choose from. Would be good to have at least 1-2 people who knows how to play some of the games. Overall, good place for groups to bond.

Staff missed out our food orders twice, to the extend that we did not even bother to re-order. They also miscalculated our bills. x x

Great fun as usual. Staff tried putting us 4 pax on a 2 pax table as it was crowded but shifted us to a bigger table shortly. Other than that no issues except it gets loud during busy hours so be mentally prepared!

1. Staff has no knowledge to play most of the games we have selected, they only know more of the popular games (e.g: exploding kittens). Told us to read instructions instead. Requested recommendation of games however the staff seem lost. 2. Ordered food and it didn't arrive - waited for 30minutes: upon inquiry to cancel as we are leaving, staff did not provide explaination Nor apology only to mentioned that it was not keyed in upon questioning. 3. Outlet is extremely understaffed and trying to seek for assistance was a extremely tedious chore. Left early despite taking the happy hour package, horrible experience and would never come back again.

We enjoyed visiting mind cafe. But Since we wanted to try new board games, it was difficult for us to find games with instructions and there was nobody in the starting to tell us how to play. Though later one of your staff members helped explain. The experience would have been better if instructions to games were available.

Bad service. Staff did not introduce games nor did they know how to play most of them. We were left to our own devices most of the time, and the free flow drinks also took very long to come. Could feel that they were a little understaffed, but the game knowledge of the staff was disappointing.

Good concept, friends and I has a great time with their games (particularly Saboteur and Exploding Kitten). Could do with more service staff though; the food took some time to arrive and we're left waiting at the counter. Also, consider changing from plastic disposable cups to plastic durable, reusable ones.

Great prices, great concept - loved the variety of games and the atmosphere where it's OK to be loud, rowdy and have fun. The food was OK too and there are some really great deals. The cafe is open late too, so, people can go after work, after drinks, etc to hang out. Service was a bit slow and slightly unorganized, but it's largely self-service, so not too bad. I've gone several times and would definitely go again!

Games were okay. Reservation had no issues. Quite a pleasant 2nd trip. Could have had more games tho or maybe it was all snatched up by others considering it's crowded. Can't find a few games I played the last time I came. Some games had missing instruction manuals/parts too

Great as usual. Just too noisy when fits full house or week ends. Recommend to go when there is less crowd. Some of the board games are not kept properly, missing items
