Second time going to claw fever with my daughter and it's now her new favorite place! The workers are always so sweet and helpful. They have the cutest plushies, my daughter loves each of them. I always end up having fun too. I would really recommend this place to anyone with kids. read more

My daughter finished school and started summer break so decided to take her somewhere. Kids really love claw machines so she's been wanting to go claw mania in Pearl Kai shopping center. The place is lite up with bright lights very enticing from the outside . When you walk in it's beautifully lite bright colors . The two girls up front clearly explains with high energy how it works . Each game is either a $1 , $3 , or $5 a shot so entertainment wise quite pricey. I bought my daughter a $50 package she was very excited. As we started to play she remained excited I started to feel discouraged as I continued to watch her grab dolls getting her excited for a win and as they reach the top before even moving to the drooping area the doll drops. I watch her grab dolls and watch it drop with ease claw having a very loose grip at least 15 times . It was making me feel kind of upset . My daughter was still excited as she is only 6 years old . She managed to get one doll thank god I didn't wanna walk out there empty handed but it was just because it had a rope attached to it . The doll dropped from the claw again but because the rope caught on the claw it was technically a win . So I asked the lady to open the door case so she could get her win . I have a video on here that shows how loose the claws are . I'm sure there is a technique. If you get so many you can trade in for other dolls . Only reason I give this place a 3 is just the value . We spent the $50 in less then 10 mins and it was killing me watching people all around me lose there money so fast . Kind of like a kid slot machine. If you like claw machines. Dave n busters might be a better deal more wins and money last longer . I couldn't run a business getting excited and watching kids spend so much money knowing the machines are very loose but that's just me . This place is definitely making $$ I saw people dropping $50, $100 lasting them 15-20 mins max . Definitely a money making business. Other than that though place was nice and clean , staff very upbeat and smiling music was good just wish I hadn't left the way I felt . Main thing was the kids don't feel that way but probably cause it's not their money . She enjoyed it . I would stay longer if my money didn't go so quick . Just felt I could've had more value taking her somewhere else . read more

Grab the cuteness... If you find yourself at Pearl Kai Shopping Center a new brightness is here and gosh what a nice addition to pick up some cuties. Located right at the entrance you will certainly miss it as they don't have a sign yet but you can find them right between Eciggity and Curry House. As I entered the bright and vibrant shop all you see are a bunch of claw machines filled with various cute plushies all characters that we know and love making it so hard to resist the need to capture them. Playing the games are by using their coins and currently with their grand opening with $100 in coins purchase you get a Labubu and some freebies as well so you know I had to give them a try and no I'm not that great at it but it's just so satisfying. After watching many clawing their way I gave it a try and did manage to nab a few as well which I'm so happy and you're also able to trade in your cuties to a bigger prize as well but I'm delighted with mine and was very far from having enough anyways. The staff there is so nice and friendly though the shop is quite small I couldn't see myself staying in there for very long but left very happy and had fun. Thank you! read more

First off, what an amazing way to have a grand opening that includes bundles featuring FREE labubus, stickers, and a claw keychain! If you know me, I'm an absolute claw machine addict. As of September 2025, I would personally say this is the best claw machine-centered place that's the best bang for your buck. A majority of the machines only require 1 token per play. Similar claw machine places usually require 2 tokens so it was surprising to see it was "cheaper" here. The claw machines here seem to have a better grip on plushies than other places I've been to. In my experience, the medium-sized plushies are way easier to grab compared to the small plushie keychains. It feels like the smaller claw machines don't have much of a grip. I encourage you to bring friends, family, and especially little kids here. There were a few little kids that were there at the same time as me amd they were also able to easily win plushies for themselves! They also have a good selection of authentic Labubus for sale, and a nice variety of trade-in plushies. Basically, you can trade in a certain amount of plushies you win to pick out a much bigger plushie of your choice (if you want!). I already have lots of medium-sized plushies so it was awesome to get a big bunny plushie. read more

I get this is a claw machine place so yeah you can expect to lose. However, I picked up like 5 plushes. The claw grabbed & picked them up, then the claw would open a little , drop it, then thighten back to close... like whaaaaaa?! We walked away with 3 medium size plushies. I guess im not sure what i expected. I just got back from vegas and they are nice there and help you out and stack them so you can win. Which was super nice! read more

Claw shops are everywhere now! It's the new trendy thing. We came here after lunch next door and decided to play a little. We got $20 in tokens. Most machines are 1 token each, which is great. There are a couple that are 3 or 5 tokens. They also have gachapon type machines that are 10 tokens. My daughter played most of the time and won one panda keychain. The crane seemed to grab it, lift it, and then let it go. We couldn't won multiple times, but the crane just opened and dropped it once it reached the top. The plushies are cute, but not a whole lot of character type ones like other places. The shop itself is really warm due to all the machines. We only stayed for maybe 10 minutes and then ran out of tokens. The only plus side is that each game is one token, so you get to play more. Hopefully they fix the crane to make it more appealing. read more

Claw Fever - Small prize for 1 coin machine - Arcades Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Mid day hours. Good for school breaks. Smaller than I imagined but I guess you don't need a lot of space. Friendly. Not too expensive. Kind of standard for the machines they have. read more

Claw Fever - 11/11/25 - Arcades Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Friendly staff and great prizes! It was our first time here, and we were greeted by two young men who explained how the token system works. They even have a "spin the wheel" when you walk in if you follow them on IG--scored 5 free tokens right off the bat, which was a nice surprise. We grabbed the $50 package, and my nephew had a blast. He walked out with seven prizes from different machines! When we arrived a little after 10, the place wasn't too crowded, but about 20 minutes later it filled up fast and got a bit hard to move around. Still, we had a great time and will definitely be back. Pro tip: go earlier when it's not too busy! read more

I've been a relatively frequent client and everytime i go i tend to spend anywhere between $40-$120. Staff typically would be pretty nice, and the prizes always seemed cute enough. But I dont want to ever come back again. Came in yesterday and there was nobody else other than the two workers. Both seemed pretty disinterested and couldn't care less about clients. I played a few games while waiting for my food order. Was playing one machine and stepped away for a little bit to look around. When i got back, one of the workers was emptying the machine of the prize i was trying to win. Typically these machines work on a pay out rate and i was kind of invested in that particular machine and prize. Asked if she could just leave one of them for me to try to win and she brushed me off telling me theyre being moved to another machine. Didnt want to argue or make the situation awkward so I left it. In the end, i won four prizes and went back to the restaurant next door to see which ones my girlfriend wanted. I was gone for roughly 20 minutes. Went back to the store just to ask to exchange one plush for a single point. Told me they wouldn't do it. Said it was policy since I stepped out to refuse my points. Never been told this before despite doing the exact same thing at least twice before. And the sign on the door explaining exchanges didn't mention anything about that rule. Honestly, the quality of the prizes seems like its been slowly dipping. And the lack of decent customer service was terrible. And the prizes for exchanging points is way worse. The options to trade for prizes feel like they're getting worse since items seem to cost more points than when they first open. And the selection is getting slimmer. They can keep my points. Im never going back there again. read more

Located on the street side closer to Coco Curry. Service is great, staff are able to adjust the prizes for a easier win. You just have to tell them how. Which is not easy. Its easier to grab from the body or the strap. Their is a variety from buying the authentics behind the counter or buying tokens to play to win on some not so authentic looking plushies. Which is fine since some of toys were going to the dog. We're just happy there's some pet friendly toys for them. Gachapons, claw plushies, timed games; the pricing for the claw machine were all but three claw machines are 1 token. The Pikachu and Pichu are 3 token and the Labubu are 5 tokens. Most likely will change as times goes on. Gachapons vary in amount of tokens. Go for the $100 for 110 tokens if you can. Its the best return on you money since it came with a authentic Labubu, till supplies last. They even gave a complimentary (a white or black) Labubu shirt with their logo. Great for dates, group outings, and family fun. read more

I had a great time here! The prizes in the machine were not so difficult to pull compared to other claw machines. You are also able to trade in the prizes you pull for a nicer one at the desk. I spent $100 on tokens to grind enough plushes to trade them in for a cute kimono miffy at the front desk for my girlfriend. It was a fun experience. read more

Claw Fever - Valerie happy with her win - Arcades Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Honestly save your money. Place is rigged and employees don't care. We mentioned and showed a video that the machines don't grip the toys. We wasted $30, they even called the manger bc we wanted a refund after $15, there's no policy that says no refund. They employees didn't care nor the manager. read more

Had been following them on instagram and it looked fun! Was greeted nicely when we entered. The main thing for the non five star review is that I changed 20 dollars worth of tokens at the counter and they charged me tax. I was paying with cash. I thought that was strange because I don't get charged tax at other claw places. I just wanted to see what I could win for $20. I had my eye on some cute cat keychains. Well seems like the rate of return here is low. I won one keychain and one plushie. The claw just drops it. So maybe 8 tries before it grabs your item tightly. As we were leaving more people were coming in. I heard one of the guys direct someone to exchange for tokens at the machine in the back. I asked him, does the machine in the back charge tax? He said no, it doesn't. So why didn't he direct me to change my tokens at the machine in the back? I don't get why I have to pay for tax in the front and not in the back. This left me with a feeling of being ripped off. This is not my first time playing claw games so I'm not hopeless. For $20, I would have been happy with three items. I know that I'm not going to win every time but the tax thing really wasn't right. Also the keychains I was trying to win weren't in reach of the claw but I didn't know until I put my token in and realized the claw doesn't reach. So overall, not the best experience. read more

Waste of money! I spent $100 for 2 stuffed animals couldn't trade anything. Go to claw kingdom instead every time we go we get at least 15-20 for $100!!! read more

Friendly staff and prices were good for the claw machines. My kids are looking forward to coming back

My daughter wanted to come here for her birthday, we came & spent $30. Our expectations were pretty high since we went to a few claw machine places in Las Vegas where they would help kids, rearrange and had fun, upbeat attitudes. The 2 guys here just sat behind the counter looking at their phones. We were able to get at least 2 wins. Everything was squished to the corners and all flat. It wasn't easy for any kids to get anything. I should've took pictures for proof but I wouldn't recommend this place. Most of the machines weren't stocked but they rearrange it so it's hard. The small machines in the front are SCAMS. It grabs it then in the next second it lets go. My daughter tried this 3x and no point, just a waste. read more

The workers are super nice and helpful. They noticed that my daughter kept trying for a plush and was unsuccessful so they opened up the machine and placed the plush so she could grab it with the claw. read more

I just visited this location and had a great time. The staff is super friendly and will answer any questions you have. We ended up winning every single big prize on all the major prize machines. We also purchased pokemon cards, which were a new product they have. Im excited to come back for their special event they have later on for Halloween to get some of the free giveaways. read more

So awesome! The workers are super friendly and helpful. My niece and I love claw games and these are actually pretty simple to win compared to the claw games that just rip you off and barely grab the stuffed animals. Can't wait to go back! read more
