Haze's Toys & Arcade - San Rafael, California

This is an absolute gem for rhythm game enthusiasts. Not many places in the US exist like this that cater so specifically to high-quality rhythm games. It’s such an asset to have!

A few regular style arcade games are there too. Plenty for families and people walking the mall to come in and enjoy.

Additionally, the snacks, toys & drinks are so well displayed and arranged with so much care. There is a lot of thoughtfulness in this place, I was even able to buy a pair of cheap 3$ gloves so I could better play maimai.

Check this place out if you want to try something new, it’s very special!

One of the few places in CA that has Maimai, rhythm game cabs in better conditions than the ones in round one, and the staffs are friendly. A must-go if you are living in North Cal and is a rhythm game junkie like me.

Limited games, expensive merchandise, some of the staff members seem like they don't like working but only play games, not as friendly as you'd expect.

Both claw machines are completely rigged. I understand most claw machines have slippery claws that make it hard but stil possible but I’m talking about the fact that after picking up a prize, the claw FULLY OPENS so that it is 100% impossible to get prizes. When we went to the staff they said that there’s nothing they can do because it’s the software of the game that makes the claw open, not the hardware. So they know that it is completely impossible to get prizes from both, but they keep them on the floor anyway. The solution would be to get rid of them and replace them with claw machines that don’t open before the claw is above the prize pay out slot. We didn’t realize the claw was opening before we had played both machines five times. The staff gave us 2 tokens back even though we spent 20 tokens total :))))

The owner is great, the array of snacks and drinks they sell is MASSIVE, the merch they offer are awesome & adorable, and the game variety is fantastic~

The vibe is fun and I'm hooked, 10/5, highly recommend!

Very nice and small arcade! With a selection of 2 Chunithm machines, 2 Mai Mai Murasaki machines, the old DDR, Dance Rush, Street Fighter, 2 Mario Kart machines, a hockey table, a basketball hoop game, the punching test machine, and a WACCA cabinet.

As a huge CHUNITHM fan, I've been looking for a cabinet that is online so I can save data on my Nime card. All of their games are online so I can finally start my process on my international version! One play on the Chunithm machine is $1.50. A very good price for 3 songs. They clean and keep their machines well kept. The Mario kart wheel wasn't as loose and difficult to use in the character selection compared to other arcades and the Chunithm machine's slider was smooth AF.

There's also a shop of collectibles and toys in the back for any kids. There's a lot of cute charms I saw and if you're into POP figurines, there's several there.

I'll definitely come back here for my Chunithm itch. 🙂

As someone who plays a lot of rhythm games, I always had to go to the closest Round 1 which is about an hour away by car for me as a local of Marin county.

They have a working Maimai machine which no Round 1 has in the Bay Area
Chunithm machines are connected to the internet. Dance Rush and SDVX is available as well.
No issues with connecting my Aime and Konami cards to the arcade machines.
Machines so far feel like they're well maintained and the place is overall quite nice.

Went there multiple times for rhythm game arcades. Although the kids are noisy and scream from time to time, the staffs are super nice.
