    My kids and I love claw machines and we usually would go to Round 1 but realized how much we have been spending there and not usually taking anything home. Found this online and saw their token prices and they are seem pretty reasonable so decided to give it a try. i like that all claw machines (maybe around 20 total) have different plushies/prizes. The owners are very nice and helpful! they would arrange the plushies if it gets too difficult to get one and would give tips on how to do it right. My kids enjoyed the time here and ended up taking some plushies home!

    If you love claw machines like my two kids do, this place is a must visit! There aren't too many spots like this in the Bay area and we are always down for unique new experiences so decided to come here. The owner was so kind and had his kids there helping out attentively. He gave us some tips to play and luckily both kids came out with plushies- my youngest got his favorite Warriors plushie which completely made his day. We walked out with 3 plushies and a few toys we purchased from their selection. My oldest was able to trade for a different plushie in the same claw machine which he appreciated. There was ample selection of plushies to choose from and a great trade up program to get bigger plushies. The place was super clean. $1 will buy you 1 play token or 2 tokens for the smaller machines The owner even asked if we wanted to take a family picture next to the cool Kaws which we took him up on. We will definitely be back when we are in the neighborhood- we loved it here. Happy to support a family run POC small business!!

    Claw Machine fun!

    We had the best time today at Cali Claw! This rainy day required us to find something fun to do indoors and this is exactly what we needed! It's definitely a place that's fun for all ages! You win some you'll lose some but hey, that's the game of claw. Great selection of prizes! we left with smiles on our faces and a bag full of goodies. We will definitely be back! Locally owned and operated. We love to support local

    Found this place via Yelp. & Now I understand why all the 5 stars reviews! I came here with my son and daughter today because we love claw machines. This place was very nice and clean, small but plenty of claw machines to choose from. There was a cool Kaws statue too! Total family owned business and I love that. The vibe was cool and chill, the owner was very nice! He gave us extra tokens during our visit since the kids weren't hitting any plushies. He even helped position the plushies to make it easier for my 7 year old daughter and gave us tips on where to claw. We appreciated that! Ended up leaving with 3 plushies and a Hello Kitty keychain. We enjoyed this place and wouldn't mind coming back. Customer service was A1!

    This place is so cute! I'm so happy that they have a claw machine place in Concord. It's so fun! We were able to snag 13 plushies for $30. The staff is super nice. They were rearranging the stuffies for easy winnings.

    I have gone here multiple times with my boyfriend since they've opened and it has always been a fun experience! We used to go to Round 1 frequently but would always leave with one prize to show for our money. But here even despite the challenge, the owners always go out of their way to give us tips, extra tokens, and reset the machines. The prices are reasonable and the selection of prizes are typically within trend. They even have a plushie bank to trade in the unwanted prizes so that you can save them to trade in later for a bigger prize. Overall, super fun for date night or family time :) *pictures are from the multiple trips since 2024!*

    I found this place on TikTok and wanted to come here since there's nothing like it. It's a small place and there's plenty of street parking in the back. The place is small but there's a good amount of claw machines. You walk in and there's the register where you buy your tokes. I thought it was pretty reasonable pricing. I like that the smaller claw machines gives you two tries. Both my kids had a lot of fun. This place is very fun for any age. You can trade in small stuffed animals for a bigger one. The owner was very nice and helpful. We had an amazing experience. My kids already want to go back. Highly recommend!

    I recently did a tour of claw machine arcades in the area (Cali Claw in Concord, Starbunni in Danville, Claw Meee in Milpitas and Round 1 in both Concord and Hayward) and Cali Claw by FAR exceeded the rest in terms of customer service. The owners are helpful and polite and have given my family tips when we go. They've repositioned prizes to help my daughter when she's having a tough time winning a plush she wants and have also surprised her with an extra token which helps make her day. The owners also encourage you to try to win whatever is easiest to grab in the machine and you're able to switch it out for whatever plush you like most in the same machine. When compared to other claw arcades the selection of plushes in the machine aren't my favorite but they have adorable ones in their trade up section. Overall 5/5 stars - would definitely recommend!

    I honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars! We were looking for something fun for the kids to do this weekend and came across this on Yelp. After reading reviews, we knew we had to come and see this place for ourselves. We have a 5 and 2 year old and they've been obsessed with claw machines lately. Unfortunately, we usually walk away with nothing and practically would've been better off just throwing our money in the trash. Not at this place though! First off, the value is already more bang for your buck than any other claw machine place we've been. Usually it costs us a few dollars per try, if not more. Each machine only cost a token and the tokens are $1/ea. If you buy more, it's even less per token. Admittedly we spent way too much but the kids had so much fun and kept winning over and over again. The owners were so sweet and kept resetting the machines so the kids would have an easier time winning a prize! If we won something from the machine but wanted another variation inside, they would swap it out. My daughter got Kuromi but really wanted Melody so we were able to trade. They were also extremely patient with my kids while they were deciding what to trade up to. Speaking of which, if you win enough plushies, you can trade up to better plushies or open a "plushie bank account" where you give them back the plushies and get plushie credits in return for a future visit. We are so so happy with our visit and will definitely be returning and telling friends about this place! Thanks so much for a fun time!

    Are you open Monday February 9, President's Day?

    Do you have gift cards available?

    Sorry, no gift cards are available. You can purchase the tokens and come back at a later time.

    How much is it?

    It's $1 equals 1 credit for the regular size claw machines, for the little ones it's $1 get 2 credits. They do offer some discount if you purchase more credits, we spent $50 for 60 credits as an example. I believe there's a $20 for 25 credits as… Read more

    One day I was driving around the street, my child and I saw a huge pikachu outside of its store…read more That's how we knew this store. From that day on, we visited here every other time. My child loves pokemon card. So, we have been visited to several pokemon card stores (and collectibles stores as well) in bay area. We love this store the most.

On occasion, they will have their giant inflated Pikachu right out in front of the little shopping center area, so you can't miss it when that happens. What do they sell here? Kind of a little bit of everything really. There's toys, plushies, video games, models, figures, and of course Pokemon cards along with other stuff. Lots of fun stuff for all, and for all ages too as they have quite a bit of retro stuff floating around here. The place does remind me quite a bit of the kind of set-up I would see in Japan and stuff, where display cases are all over, with stuff just sprawled out inside of them for people to look and peruse over. There really aren't too many of these places like this anywhere nowadays. Good nostalgia just from that perspective. Makes it fun. How is the pricing of everything? Actually reasonable for most things I saw here. There were some things that seemed to be fairly overpriced, but it was mainly for the rarer stuff which is understandable, but still pretty far over the market price elsewhere (online and such). But the general stuff sold here were all fair enough for a physical store. The service here, I actually didn't really interact with them much. While I was walking around the store I did hear customers converse with the staff and it seemed friendly enough, so I assume it's fine. They seemed eager to help when people walked up to the counter-adjacent areas, so there's that. Though I didn't walk out with anything the first time I visited the place, finally, I certainly almost wanted to grab something quite a few times as I was making my way through there. Will definitely be back at some point later.

    Not so many of these shops around the area, so we're pretty lucky to have Anime Store Near Me…read more Also, great for Google searches if people search for an anime store near them? Anyways, the daughter wanted to check this place out to get something for her friend's birthday; unfortunately, they didn't have the items/characters she was looking for. We browsed around, and it seems that a lot of the store is focused on modeling kits - lots of those, Gundam, paints, tools, etc. They have some aisles for plushies and other soft characters / mascots, etc., and some for figurines as well. They also have limited selection of those lottery things where you pay for a ticket, reveal what the ticket has and get that "prize." One of the things that caught our eyes were their mystery / blind boxes. Gambling! My daughter ended up getting a few of those, but sadly some repeats. Bad luck haha. Noticed they had a couple sets of Labubu for sale as well, but similar to a lot of stuff here, they were heavily marked up. For instance, when we went, Have a Seat was $65 a box and Big Energy or something was $85 a box. Wowzers! Crazy how there is such a hype, but they are hard to get, so desperate consumers would pay desperate prices I suppose. There was also a table of mystery bags. There is a hint to which character or anime or contents as well. None of those really caught our eyes, but maybe someday!

    The store itself was super fun, but it's pretty disappointing that I paid $35 for a Spy x Family…read moremystery bag and got a figure that literally has a price tag STILL ATTACHED that's less than what I paid for the "mystery bag".
