The staff here made our visit so much fun! They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and happy to help us throughout the games.

Tons of fun and staff are SO friendly! Fantasy Claw has a bunch of different machines with lots of plushie options. They also have a mix of games in addition to traditional claw machines. We bought 30 tokens and walked away with 2 plushies. The machines seem to pay out after ~5 tries. Since Fantasy Claw is new, the store was clean and the machines were all in great shape. Service was wonderful. The front-desk employee explained different token options and packages when we arrived. After we won our plushies, we stopped by to ask if we could exchange for a different one (we noticed the plushie we won was a bit dirty), and they were very accommodating. Will come again next time! read more

Plushies... I'm such a "softie" when it comes to these cuteness overload and this International Marketplace location sure isn't short of that with their space filled with various types of machines loaded with many characters that we love and who can't resist. I'm not the greatest at these claw machines but with a bit of luck and someone else's motivational tries I do try to "pick up" where they have left off cause come one these cuties do desperately need a home. Though it will come with a cost but what cost comes with the price of bliss and happiness when you're able to take home any one of them especially with your own capture skills does make it much more fun and rewarding. Love that they have a bunch of Hello Kitty and other know characters all in a bright and fun environment to relax and enjoy is something that is very needed and appreciated. Thank you! read more

Vantie was so sweet to us! Fun times and so much toys to choose from! You can get a labubu+! Highly recommend with kids. Or our young souls. read more

Gave this place another try and really glad we did. Even from our first original visit, the staff member we met was very kind to our toddler, which always means a lot to us parents. We came to the Waikīkī location because we've loved the Las Vegas one so much, so we were excited to check it out. We got to learn more about their business, which made the experience feel more personal. They also have a system where you can trade in certain qualifying plushies for bigger prizes, which is a fun touch. The customer service truly goes above and beyond. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, and genuine. They even give you a little pouch for your tokens (same like in Vegas) so you can keep all your tokens together. They have specials going on so you can also get the best bang for your buck. Most importantly, we had so much fun! Our toddler left happy with a few plushies; and that alone made it worth it. No need for a suitcase full, just a few smiles and we're good. Like the Las Vegas location, they give you a complimentary clear plastic drawstring backpack to tote your winnings in, which is always appreciated. Really glad we came back! Happy to say, just like in Vegas, this is a five star spot for us now. This was not our first time here and definitely won't be our last. Note: they do validate parking if you're parked in the Target Parking Structure. read more

Fantasy Claw is low-key addicting in the best way If you've got even a little competitive spirit, be ready to get hooked. The machines actually feel winnable (which is rare), and the prizes are legit...way better than your typical arcade junk. Clean setup, good vibes, and perfect for killing time whether you're with kids or just acting like one. Pro tip: once you start winning, it's hard to stop. Definitely a fun little Waikīkī gem read more

Fantasy Claw Arcade Hawaii - Spring Break fun!! - Arcades Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Sad because the first two times we went here in late 2025 and early 2026 we went with a group of 2 adults and 3 kids, spent $120, and each of the kids walked out with a backpack of goodies. Not this time. Went when they opened on a Saturday morning. The prizes were very strange -- fake Nee-doh squishies in the box - no way the claw would grab that; and a couple machines with a weird mix of Halloween candies like lollipops and old looking small bags of chips. Spent $70 this time and left with two small plushies. Not worth it this time. Prices for each machine went up too, very few with a one coin play. read more

I spent $60 and they gave me 30% more tokens. Games are 1-4 tokens depending on what you're playing. Claw machine games are so addictive but here you also could have a better chance of winning and the stuffies are really cute! I ended up initially winning 9 different things but traded 5 for a Snorlax. Loved it, staff were so friendly and accommodating and you can trade up in increments of 5 items won. Highly recommend if you're looking to get out of the heat or need a break from the beach! read more

FUN!!! FUN!!! FUN!!! Came in randomly on a Monday the kids saw the lights and the claw machines and immediately ran in. We got the $60 deal token, and it was so worth it. Everyone had fun. Adults too! We've gone to other claw machines places and we also play random claw machines at the malls, stores or wherever they have them. This place has got to be my favorite so far!!! Yoko was working when we came in and her costumer service is excellent!!! She made us feel so welcomed and she was so helpful! She made our play time here so much more enjoyable! Thank you for an amazing first time experience! We're already planning to come back again! read more

Visiting from CA here! Awesome place ! Great customer service ! Be careful bringing your kids here .... And wife I guess. It'll set you back but hey! Everyone's happy. What I appreciated was they offered to change my daughter's spiffy doll is sending like the one she got in the box lol. Not sure what the could have swapped for but my daughter liked the one she got so everyone's happy. Success! read more

This place is so freaking adorable but you can blow money quickly (like with most claw games) but the staff was great and we did take home prizes. All the kids were having fun so I'd definitely recommend it read more

Walking through the area with 2 young kids getting tired, we came across this gem! We walked in and the place was filled with excitement. Our boys were immediately energized. Claw games can be tough, but Lee and Yoko were so helpful. More than that, they treated us like family! They were so great, I had to write this review on the spot. We got some assistance to win a few toys so both boys wouldn't go home empty handed. On top of that, it turns out Lee (Magic Lee Hawaii) is a famous magician! He did a few [what I'm sure to him] simple tricks and left my boys in awe. I'm sure that's not what anyone can expect, but it really left an impression on them. In the end, our whole family was energized, happy and amazed. I wish I could write more, so I may update later, but I couldn't leave too far without writing this right now. Thanks, Lee, Yoko and Fantasy Claw. Update (as I was just about to hit done): Lee just called us over gave us some great local tips to visit and eat. This was such a great experience and definitely something our family will remember a long time. read more

This place was such a fun little surprise. It is on the pricier side, but the experience kind of makes up for it--mostly thanks to the woman working there. She genuinely wanted people to win, which you don't see often in claw arcades. The group of adults ahead of us didn't win at first, and she actually encouraged them to give it another shot... even slipped them an extra coin. She did the same for the kids with us, which made their day. We spent about 30-40 minutes there and went through around $60 in coins. If you're in the area and looking for something different to do, it's definitely worth checking out. Fun vibes, friendly staff, and a little boost of luck never hurts. read more

If I could give this spot 0 stars I would. We've taken our kids to plenty of these places & this was by far the worse. Boba places give you better odds than this spot. We took our 5 year old and 10 year old here today as a treat post dinner. There was a single worker so getting help just to start off took a solid 10 minutes and that was just to purchase tokens and there was only 1 person ahead of us. We paid $60 for tokens so kids could play plenty of machines and come out with what we thought would be a couple of decent plushies and just have fun trying out the different claw machines. Again we've been to plenty of these arcades and usually come out with each of their bags filled for same budget of tokens, but not all arcades are equal so even a few wins would've been gre Think again, each kid won a single tiny keychain plush. A boba and a carebear. That was it. They prizes were overall bleh in the machines. Outdated Halloween theme plushies, temu-ish Pokémon, and assorted other unknown plush prizes. But that aside the thrill is really winning and not the actual prize a lot of the time right?! Welp the machines were awful, mismatched prizes inside machines where the claw was either too small to even open wide enough to grab a prize or too big that whatever it grabbed would just fall between the claw hands. Parents, save yourself the money and your kiddos some heartbreak and just take them to Dukes Lane and let them pick something to buy at one of those vendor carts. Luckily each kid won a prize and we just hyped them up so they wouldn't be as disappointed. If you're ever in SoCal we suggest ChibiClaws - A+ prizes and they even give you tips on how to play on the different machines to help. They're staffed well and make sure each kiddos leaves happy. I guess at tourist traps like Fantasy Claws at the International Marketplace they don't count on repeat business, so they're ok scamming. We visit Oahu often though and we for sure won't come back. You have been warned read more

I tried to buy $5 worth of tokens but the lady said the lowest amount they sell is $20. She was nice enough to give me 2 tokens free. I lost both times but I didn't think there was much chance to win since there was only a mother and son playing. Mahalo anywayz!!! read more

Very nice machines and high quality prizes. I appreciated the old-school coins you purchase to play instead of the cards. The claw games range from just 1 coin to 4 or more. The staff member Vanni was very helpful and her tips helped my niece win her first real Labubu. It's a great little activity and escape from all of the shopping and crowds in this mall area. read more

Cutest arcade place! Won a cute Labubu after quite a few tries, and both employees were very nice! read more

Such a fun spot! It was our first time here, and the staff were incredibly nice--they actually gave us two wins just for being first-timers, which totally made our day. The workers were so gracious, welcoming, and genuinely excited for us, which made the whole experience even better. We had an absolute blast playing the claw machines and left smiling. Would 100% come back and definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun, friendly time! read more

Great location inside the international marketplace. The more you spend the bigger the discount on tokens. Most of the claws took a lot of tries to actually get something. I'd say 75% of the time we didn't get anything. There were a few times that the employee gave us a little "help" which was nice. There were a few machines out of order. It was clean but there was no air conditioning. read more

Came here on a date night with my husband and we had such a great time! Most games were only 1-2 tokens, so very reasonably priced. We won multiple plushies and even a gift card, and the attendant was very kind and explained the process very well. I always wanted to come to a claw arcade and this was a great one to do so! read more

We find that the majority of claw games are hard to win because the claws are too weak to support the object you are trying to pick up. Little did we know that there is a strategy to playing these games. It was explained to us by the friendly worker. She gave my grandchildren tips on how to win. She said that she tries to make sure that children win at least one prize. She even offered to switch a prize for another color. Thanks to her, my grandchildren won several stuffed animals and went home very happy. read more

I went to Fantasy Claw Arcade for the first time today with my sister and my boyfriend, and we had a wonderful time thanks to Yoko! Unlike traditional claw arcades where you walk away with nothing after spending $100+ we ended up winning 20 small plushies to trade in for a larger one. There are a number of machines to choose from, all with different prizes like plushies, Labubus, and Pokemon Cards. Yoko was able to help us readjust some prizes in the machines that were difficult to get, making the experience much more enjoyable! We will definitely be back soon!! read more
