C-Ring Internet Access & Computer Gaming

So this place is completly perverted the owner Nick Halverson should be charged with sexual harassment. forcing customers to watch gay porn and locking the entire computer so we had to watch

The place is okay, nothing really special but seems to be a decent place to hang out. Not really into the games and the scene anymore but thought I would just peek my head in to see what this place was about. Staff seems pretty cool. I might be back.

So recently I decided to give this place a try as opposed to going to Howie’s game shack… So glad I did!!! honestly prices are way better and are able to roll over any time if you don’t use up your time. Pretty clean in there and everyone in there, including the staff, are friendly and welcoming. I started coming in whenever i’m a bit restless or just wanna catch up on League of Legends. Definitely a place you need to check out if your into computer gaming

Since the CRING in montebello shut down I’ve been coming here it’s a awesome place staff is very cool friendly and helpful no issues or complaints for this place love it!

Deplorable service, customer service is bad, the guy at front counter didn’t even know how to get stuff printed & the «boss» was just watching a movie in one of the computers, he wasn’t able to help either… Very bad & disappointing service.

Cring been running quality comps and games for like 10+ years.
i know because ive been going there for that long. When it comes to
internet cafes they really are the best in southern cali. So if you want a great gaming experience youre gana want to go there. They also have a knowledgable staff that can help you out with any Game. 5STARS allday.

First time coming here and my experience was great! The staff was very welcoming and friendly and the facility was nice and clean. I was having trouble getting my sound to work so employee Josh came right over to help me fix it. They have food and drinks available for purchase if you get hungry! Really great place to go!

I remember coming here when I was in high school they are all super friendly and always gave me my money back or gave me a different computer when one was available and mine wasn’t working the owner Nick always help me out when I had a problem I really recommend newcomers to steering because they will definitely help you out with any questions you may have

really awsome place could use a better food variety but all in all pretty sick

I’ve always had a great experience here, workers are always friendly and are always doing their best to make sure you have a good time and the PCs are updated quite frequently to handle the newer games.
Every other month or so I group together with friends (usually 6 – 12 people) and they make sure they can accommodate us in every way possible.
Each vending machine item is only $ 1! Feeling fancier than eating from a vending machine? Mexican restaurant in the same plaza.
For parents looking for a babysitter, omg just drop your kid off here buy him some hours and make sure he behaves and keeps his area clean!

Ive been going here for a well of 6 years, and its a great place to go to. And for the record they dont have a «poor» equipment its actually pretty expensive to do maintain everything. Nick the owner is pretty nice and helpful, need a gaming pc? And want to build one? He’ll help you. Ive build a pc at a great price. And on top of that he added free games. Place is just really great to be at if you want to get away from home, great place, highly recommended
UPDATE :2015
So much nicer, PC gaming at its best .
Excellent service .
smooth graphics. top of the line.
granite desk. This is a must go to place .
Bought a PC from C-​Ring already. And man is it great. Highly recommended and they will have me a permanent client.

I have been to a several other gaming café’s and this one is stands out to be the best! They have Turtle beach head phones, Razor mice, Sharkon key boards, and their games are always updated!

I have boycott this place before because they don’t know how to treat new comers at all. I boycott this place previously because I invited my friend to check out the place. Turns out the PC locked up and the time was still running. I waved the guy down and he said I would have to was it till he finished doing what he had to do. Needless to say he finished but never came over to help. At the end I had to explain what happened to Nick the owner. Nick’s son was like, no big deal took money out his own pocket and gave it to my friend.
Recently, two days ago, I decided to stop by because I had to make a quick Skype call. I figured I was going to be a while so I bought 4 hours for $ 10. So I log on, try to make a call. Seems like the mic was not working. I waved to guy at the counter but he was too busy handing out taco bell to his buddies playing games. Finally he comes over and I tell him the mic does not work. He tests it and then moves me to another PC. I figured I would go to my car and get the chips and cup of noodles I had not ate earlier that day. I come back in just to be told I could not eat that their. I was furious and asked for my refund, they said they were not authorized to give me a refund. I told them I would be back when Nick was around. Once I get my money back… No more C-​ring ever!

Been going here for years. Best comp set ups and atmosphere then any other place iv been to in la county. Egames smella like egg rolls and gold farmers.
Owner is nice and very knowledgeable. Friendly helpful staff and customers.
P. s. if you can’t rake foul mouth or loud noises invest in ear plugs or grow a pair.

There is so much wrong with this place that I am sure I will never return. I made 2 recent visits, both left a sour taste in my mouth.
I have equal parts issue with the service, the environment, the equipment, the price, and the software.
1) service — i had a few questions i wanted to ask before i came. the phone number listed on the website and on Unilocal was not in service. so when i arrived in person, the questions i asked were very rudely answered, almost angrily as if my questions offended them. when we arrived there was no one at the help desk. we stood around unaware of who actually worked there and who was just playing games. only after a few minutes did we get the attention we seeked.
2) the environment is probably the second most important thing for a PC LAN business, after the equipment, and in this regard i wish I could give them less than zero. the place stinks, literally. sweaty men, bad breath, burnt popcorn, microwaved burritos, sticky floors, and sticky desks lead to a foul smelling place that won’t leave your mind while you’re there. the people there and the guys working there are constantly horsing around, loud obnoxious cursing and screaming. when you’re there trying to have a good time with your friends but the employee and his buddies are having a cursing shouting match behind you its hard to have a good time.
3) the equipment is incredibly poor for a place dedicated to PC gaming. The monitor at my station had a sharp discolored vertical line present in all games that flashed periodically. The keyboards are not mechanical, are very sticky and uncomfortable. you must press hard for the keys to actuate and even then they sometimes don’t. for a PC place this is embarrassing. They use 2 different kinds of computer mouse. on one occasion i used an intellimouse 1.0 which was decent and on another occasion I used a deathadder, which is a great mouse. no complaints there. However, regardless of which mouse the station has, all stations use very cheap mousepads of the 99 cents variety. They are very small and very cheap, torn, wasted, dirty, thick, have poor tracking and poor grip on the table. again, they use the absolute lowest quality in an important area of their business. also, they don’t allow you to bring in your own equipment which is absurd. why can’t I bring my own mechanical keyboard to replace the ones they use? other places allow you without a problem.
4) the price is as high as it is because they have no competition. $ 3/​hr is the most i have ever seen but that was at much muuuuch nicer places. There are much nicer places that charge 1.50/hr. Why doe C-​Ring charge so much for such shitty everything? because they can. no competition in the area.
5) their computer software has a few issues. The computer restarted on me for no reason twice. They also lack a lot of games. The UI is poor and unupdated. the program that manages their system takes forever to load which eats up into your payed time. they couldn’t even get this integral part of their business right.
The only thing they actually do right is the mice they use. nothing else. the experience is much worse than «Eek! Methinks not».

Best PC gaming center in Socal. Service is about as friendly as you’ll encounter anywhere. This isn’t Howie’s Game Shack so don’t expect a luxurious interior, but if your criteria for a quality gaming center consists of blazing internet connections (best I’ve seen in PC gaming centers in California) and top-​notch PC setups this is definitely the place to game. On top of that, the prices are the lowest I’ve seen anywhere. You won’t find this kind of quality for the price.
They are also one of the very few places that have Battlefield 3 on all their computers and they run buttery-​smooth with the connection at C-​ring and PC setups. Every time I’m in a game, I usually have one of the best connections or host.
There’s also a decent Mexican restaurant in the same plaza if you get hungry.
Best prices, top-​quality set-​ups, and amazing internet connection speed!
