eCyberDeck

I loved the fact I can walk to this place so that I can drop off all my defective Amazon orders without wasting gasoline or time. For me, I do not have time to play video games, but I think the place is great since there is no smoking unlike in Korea. If you really want to go to a great PC Room and don’t care about the ciagarettes, you should live in Korea!

I called to confirm that they had computers with Internet access, I also mentioned I only needed about 20 minutes to answer some work related emails, the guy who answered said it would be 1 $.
If I could give this place zero stars I would. I get there, all the computers were occupied by young Asians all playing some kind of dungeons and dragons online game. No one was going anything work or homework related, the staff said I could get out on a list and he’d call me when a computer was available cuz it be a while. Lots of the occupants were in and out of the café but still had their computers occupied. You would think they would save one to use for actual importance.
Waste of time, unless you have the desire to spend all day playing clash of clans with your friends. Lol

Really nice guy was able to fix my problem quickly and in expensively. There was no wait.

The computers here were terrible for my friend and me. The mice don’t work at all without a mouse pad and even then they worked awfully. CSGO kept lagging/​freezing even on the lowest settings. My chat would instantly translate to Chinese randomly… The headphones were garbage too. Definitely not coming back.

I was looking for some internet gaming cafes in Irvine and this one was conveniently located in UTC. Its my first time here and it was a pleasant experience. You just pick a computer and play.
Other reviews said keyboards and mouse were dirty, the one I used was decent, it wasn’t something I’d freak out about. Typical wear and tear.
I didn’t get a chance to look at specs but it ran WoW: WoD just fine.
It’s $ 3 an hour and they don’t offer memberships anymore.
I’d come back again if I needed to kill an hour or two.
–1 star cause I wish they had some incentive for regulars.

I really want to give –1 star, if I could!
I went there to see whether they can help to revcover my E partition, because I can only got half recovered by myself. HOWEVER, they got 0% recovered and even deleted my D partition (by accident?)!!!
The guy who called me didn’t mentioned this and had a really bad tongue.
They still charged me 29!!!

Keisha provides good IT support. I’d recommend him.

5 Stars for being the only decent Internet game café left alive in Irvine.

Ripoff deck. Guy charged me 14.99 for a Ethernet cable, but it sounded like he said 4.99. I checked my change when I got to the car and realized he only gave me 6 dollars out of 20 bucks. Literally only 5 minutes passed and the guy would not refund me back my money. This shop is a bunch of crooks. Don’t shop or take your computer here. They’ll rip you off if you do.

The experience I had here has left me speechless.
My computer was no longer charging and I suspected that it was my charging port that was broken because it was an issue that had happened with my previous computer. When I go into the shop, the guy that I talked to told me that he would run a diagnostic, figure out the problem and then call me to let me know what would happen next. That was logical so I agreed. I get a call, within 2 hours saying that there was indeed something wrong with my computer and that they needed to order a part which would come in within 2 days. I agreed and they in response told me that it would cost $ 45 for the part and $ 75 for the labor.
Two days pass and I call in asking when I could pick up my computer. The guy I talked to told me that the part has not come in yet but it should be coming in soon. When I asked if they could tell me approximately when it would come, they told me that they would call me when it has arrived. So I call back again the next day, and they tell me the part hasn’t arrived because all shipments were slow due to memorial day weekend. When I call back again on Tuesday to check on the status, the guy told me that calling him was not going to help the shipment go faster and that I should just wait for him to call me. This happens again the next day, except this time when I call in I wanted him to give me a more concrete date so that I wouldn’t have to keep calling. He told me that he was getting tired of me calling him and that I should just wait. At this point, I was furious. I had given my computer over to him for over a week and in return I get no answers and a lecture from the guy saying that I am too impatient.
I decided at this point I was just going to find a different place so when I went in to get my computer, the guy told me that I had to pay $ 29 for the diagnostics. Thank goodness I refused to pay because when I went to another store in Santa Ana, not only did the guys there find the problem and fix it within 10 minutes, they also only charged me $ 40 total.
If you need to get your computer fixed. Do not come here. Not only is the guy who works there mean and rude, they are probably going to rip you off and keep your computer for longer then necessary. Go somewhere else, if I could, I would give this place a zero.

Terrible place. Walked in with no one in the front desk. Finally the guy who was playing video game stood up and asked me «what?» with a pretty bad attitude. Are you serious.

I am giving 1 star due to the bad-​attitude of the guy at the front-​desk, as well as their shady business practices.
I went here with a couple friends wanting to play an FPS, and asked which titles they had. The guy at the desk was super unhelpful, and just kept telling us to play Left for Dead since «every first person shooter is the same»
furthermore, when we requested the 15 minute free trial promised by the website for first-​time customers, the employee refused, and denied that such an offer even existed (even though it is clearly stated here:
)
we finally decided on a game, TF2, but after about 10 minutes of updates and computers freezing, we realized there were probably about 15 minutes worth of updates still needing to be loaded. Even though it was made clear to us that we weren’t going to be charged for the time wasted during the updates, we still didn’t have the patience to sit there for another 15 minutes, so we left and asked for our money back. I feel that this was a reasonable request, since we didn’t actually play any games, the place was almost empty, and we didn’t cost them anything. Nobody should have to sit there for 25 minutes before they can even play a game.
However, the employee refused to refund our money, instead only offering a coupon that requires you to buy something first. I’m not sure why they would burn a bridge with potential customers for 3 dollars each, but I’m definitely never coming back.
.

It’s a good place to play games forsure. It’s rarely crowded, and I’ve always enjoyed my time playing there with friends.
They used to advertise a «free» diagnostic, and I thought I would take advantage by asking them to check out my webcam and audio on my laptop because they were giving me problems. Little did I know, there was a fine print on the contract that they make you sign; they were able to charge up to $ 60 without asking the owner of the computer to «repair» anything that they felt was necessary.
They somehow temporarily fixed my camera, which I certainly wouldn’t have if I knew it would cost $ 60. The next day, the camera didn’t work completely so I sent it back asking them to repair it. The shop took it back and later told me that it’s not fixable because it was a «wear and tear» problem. I certainly understood their reason, but I thought it was reasonable for me to ask for some money back since they ultimately could not fix it and ended up making it worse.
The owner was insulted by my request and harshly rejected. I was not rude or demanding; I was simply asking if it would be a possibility. I was very disappointed with the service there, but I might be the only person who has experienced such incident — hopefully it doesn’t happen to anyone else.

If you’re looking to play some awesome TITLES, they’ve got em! All the latest games they are up to date, if not you can just always ask and I’m sure they are willing to get that game in.
The workers here are awesome! Always helpful!
If you are reading this and you’ve had your computer just Lose its CPU… please nod right now. I take my computer here to get it fixed or to have its month to month check ups. They are the Dr’s of PC’s!
Also they have sweet computers with 30″ SCREENIES!!! BIGGER THE BETTER RIGHT!?!
Come here with friends and have a LAN PARTY! :D

I’ve been going to eCyberdeck for about nearly 10 years now actually. Some computers can run most of the games that most people play here. There is no account logging in system. You simply tell the employee working which game you would like to play and they will set you up quite fairly. I’ve played multiple games competitively such ad counter strike 1.6, dota (defense of the ancients), and hon (heroes of newerth) I’ve met some competent players but they lack customers that are good at games which is kind of dissapointing. However since I’ve been going for about 10 years I am close friends with the employees and the regulars… All of the employees will be extremely nice and fast on IT work ie, «comPuter repairs and etc. Problems with computers then I cannot urge you enough to come and specifically ask for Keasha and he will do a great job bringing your computer back to life. Any windows software or hardware issue he can take care of well. The «regulars» such ad myself will also have no problem helping you out.
Pros: computers run well, computer speakers on all computers, headsets are available just need to ask, nice employees, and did I mention food is right next to this place? Pizza, boba, yogurt, ice cream, Asian food, and more. On a side note the smokers are starting to get a little more mature an dont smoke directly in front of the door and no longer spit on the floor where you can step on (now it’s in bushes, ash trays, or trash cans) which is a huge plus.
Cons: I myself am a smoker yes I know (yuck) well guess what almost every one here smokes and spits like a chewer. However over the years the owner is also force to close the doors as 12 am so late night gaming will be from home
Overall since this place is my family away from my family. People here sometimes tend to have bad foul mouths they tend to leave it in the game and afterwards there is not much fighting.
If you have pc problems or just want a day to not party instead you should try to check out the place to kill time.
I almost completely forgot here are the hours of operation and pricing.
11 — 12 am.
1 hr: 3 $
2 hr: 5 $
All day: 15 $
Repairs: vary

Great gaming place for all your gaming needs. As far as gaming places are concerned, this is one of the better ones because of its location. You could game for hours and take a break to grab a quick bite at one of the many fast– food restaurants. Go with a few friends and have a blast playing computer games with each other.

If you like to play Blizzard games, you’ll find a lot of company at ecd. You’ll find a variety of people playing Warcraft 3, Starcraft, DotA, and the omnipresent World of Warcraft. Counter-​strike is somewhat popular here too. With regards to WoW, there appears to be a decent community from the Frostwolf server; I believe the owner Kevin still plays there.
Rates are $ 2.50/hr for «students.» It seems like everyone pays those rates, though I could be wrong. Computers run WoW servicably, though the lack of personal lan café accounts shows when you see the terrible WoW UI Addon selection at each computer. Bringing a headset if you wish to use Ventrilo (already installed) is recommended. While there are speakers on each computer, broadcasting to a room of 70 computers whenever your guildmate signs on gets very old very quickly. There is no wireless internet. Various snacks are available at the front counter, though with In-​N-​Out, Jack in the Box, Lee’s Sandwiches, Cha, Trader Joe’s, and other places to get sustenance, you’ll have no excuse for starving here.
Unfortunately, the lack of alternatives in the area prevents me from being critical via comparison. ECD’s location, however, is excellent, and I feel safe there at any hour of the day (I believe they’re open til 4am).
