“Great hidden find! Clean and basic. Bright. Itu2019s not trying to be fancy and hip like you may find at other bowling alleys. Several student workers to help so itu2019s fast. Very affordable for both billiards and bowling, even for u201ccommunityu201d, aka non students. See my pics for the price menu. But there was no place to buy food, at least not when I went. Perhaps they were just closed at the time. If they had it, thatu2019d ear”

“Lanes are oiled, but the ball return damaged my ball. Pretty hard to find since it's inside the building.”

“This is honestly my favorite place to bowl! It is so cheap and clean, not to mention how helpful the staff is! The desk attendant that helped me was the tall dude with glasses. 5 star service, he was even able to show me how to bowl, this guy should totally get a raise!”

“Update: They put Taco Bell back in and sorted out some of the growing pains of switching companies. Still havenu2019t tried the new boba place and the poke looks disappointing but they have improved since my last review. 3.5 stars now. Implement better breakfast options such as returning Steak and Shakes breakfast items would be my recommendation.”

“The place is really nice & cheap. Only flaw is that this place looks like they hire just about anyone. Most of the staff are pretty rude unless you're a female. Please unhire the hiring manager.”

“New SU is fantastic! It's beautiful, open, and has plenty of seating! They really stepped it up now. It looks like a University Student Union should.”

“This building has almost all basic facilities, but its a small place. Also there are limited number of food outlets. SJSU's new student union building is under construction, hope that would be better than this place. Also, timings are little weird, don't know why. Sometimes it closes at 5, sometimes at 6. They don't keep it open late night, when students need it the most.. during exams weeks. There is a printing shop”
