My family loves coming to Kawaii Klaws. Some claw machines can be very hard to win but that's what makes it fun. The staff are all friendly. Bella was working the front counter when we came and she was very nice in explaining how the trade in works. This is a fun place for kids, teens and adults. We've come different weeks and have seen different prizes. Great selection of plushies. They had lots of hello kitty and Disney items. For us personally it's worth the value especially because you trade plushies. read more

I had coins from my last visit which was about a year ago. I came back to use them and they had changed the system to not accept coins. I asked the guy in front and he said "since we changed, I don't think I can do anything." The way it was handled was poor service. I can see that this hasn't happened to him but there was no effort to resolve this. I had over $20 coins so I figured some effort to assist would have been appreciated but the guy acted clueless. read more

I was told about this place, so I decided to try it out, and my kids had so much fun! It's filled with toy claw machines, and I especially loved their back wall decorated with a bunch of plushies. We spent about $30 and ended up winning two plush toys. I've seen some people win more, but you're also paying for the fun and experience the kids are having. Some of the machines can be a little tricky, but once you get the hang of them, your chances of winning definitely improve. The staff member working that day was incredibly kind to my kids and very pleasant to talk with. I can't wait to go again! read more

We were just casually strolling around Hong Kong Plaza on our way to Haven City Market, mentally preparing our appetites for battle, when my daughter hit the brakes like she'd spotted treasure. The treasure? Kawaii Klaws, a neon-lit claw machine paradise. Now, as a self-proclaimed foodie, I came for dumplings. But suddenly I'm evaluating joystick technique and plushie-grabbing strategy like it's a Michelin sport. It's actually a super fun arcade spot... bright, cute, and dangerously addictive. Honestly, if the twins had been there, we'd need an extra suitcase just for the prizes. Great vibes, solid hangout energy, and only mildly distracting when you're supposed to be on a serious food mission. read more

I've gone to this location of Kawaii Klaws a number of times in the past year with family and friends. It's awesome place to bring kids or hang out with family for some fun and games. It's located just outside of the Haven City West Covina. If you have time or need a break to try to win some prizes definitely stop in. The location has plenty of claw machines all over the space. The selections of plushies varies each time I've gone there. They have Marvel, Pokemon, Sanrio, and Labubu plushies in the machines currently. You purchase your game card with the staff whom are helpful and accessible when you want them to adjust the machines. They also refill the machines periodically. Each game is about 7 credits which I think ends up being $2-3 per attempt. Also, they have some Labubu Boxes in select machines which are 21-35 credits. The more prizes you win you can trade up at the desk for bigger plushies. You can spend a bit of time and $ but it's all in good fun and the feeling of winning at the machine is worth it! It's a family friendly place and they have a really cool wall of plushies to take pictures. Come here and try your luck! Thanks, Kawaii Klaws! read more

Kawaii Klaws is such a fun spot for kids! They had a great time playing the claw machines and were excited to win lots of cute plushies. We especially loved that they could trade in their smaller prizes for bigger ones--it made the experience even more rewarding. The workers are incredibly friendly and patient with the kids, which made the visit even better. Highly recommend for a family outing! read more

Kawaii Klaws is a fun little spot if you enjoy claw machines. We usually end up winning a few plushies each visit, which makes it exciting. I just wish they had more machines or more variety -- the space feels a bit limited, especially when it gets busy. Overall, still a cute and enjoyable place to stop by, especially if you're into collecting plushies. We always manage to leave with a few wins! read more

Stopped by here after dinning at Haven City. We have a Kawaii Klaws in Alhambra but they provide you with physical tokens rather than a play card. Its $2 to activate the play card which to me is absurd. Anyway, my wife had lots of fun but we felt like the prizes here aren't as good as the Alhambra location. read more

We revisited Kawaii Klaws and they have better quality plushes. The store have upgraded to using cards instead of coin. It costs $2 to open a card and each play costs $1. The store also collabs with other restaurants, so you can win coupon (from claw machines) for food items such as boba, pizza, etc. read more

Kawaii Klaws has got some cool new updates! I miss playing the claws with baskets of tokens, but the rechargeable cards are cute and efficient. Something cool about Kawaii Klaws is that you can play to win authentic labubus or smiskis. If you're not feeling very lucky then you can also purchase them instead. They also have some clothes for Labubu too. The service here is great! The staff is super nice and always available to open up the machines for trades or offer a bag when you have a collection of prizes in hand. You can switch from different machines (up to three times) or switch from the same machine. I really wanted to maintain my 5 star rating for this place because it really is a great place to visit. However, I feel like the trade up prizes aren't really worth getting. They're larger, but that's all there is to it. I could be mistaken, but the quality of them doesn't seem any better than the small prizes from the machine. Nonetheless, the prize selection that they offer in the machines are very cute. I was very happy to go home with a couple Zanmang Loopy beavers. Meanwhile, my siblings were so excited to win chikawa characters. read more

Im sad. We bought the $40s for $29 on Groupon. We were there spending that $29 and my 8 year old son and I didnt get one thing. :( Toys are too large for the claws or too round to grip. Every single time we got it ..it dropped due to the weight. We've have went three times on this same groupon and won things but isn't spending $29 ridiculous to spend when even I could not grasp anything with out it falling? We were sad. read more

We love claw machines! We got 22 tokens for $20 . The girl was nice to explain how the rules work with the trading . We got 4 plushies at the end and we were allowed to trade 3 since we wanted cross machine. The quality of the plushies were very good. We enjoyed coming here and recommends it if you're looking for something fun to do in the area! read more

Kawaii Klaws - Our 4 plushies - Arcades Near Me - West Covina, California

I use to like this place when I first opened. The claw machines were full of plushies and it was fairly easy to win. Now it changed and the machines are barely half full and it's super hard to win anything. It detours me to wanting to come back anymore. After 20+ tries I won nothing. And they were straight grabs that I would normally win at another claw machine place. Also, they sell popmart items here but they are 2-3 times the retail cost. Overall it's still a fun place to walk around, but to play...not really. I'd save your money for something else. read more

Kinda sad I used to like this place, once they switched to card instead of tokens everything went downhill. The workers are really nice and they're always pretty helpful so overall I gave an extra star for service. HOWEVER, you can tell now they got too money hungry, the plushies are no longer in good to grab spots and the selection just got worse. The value of what you get versus what you play for isn't good, honestly won't go here again with better places around like infinity claws. Overall not very good anymore, very disappointing. read more

Really fun to go to, you are basically (almost) guaranteed a price and getting something cute. Excellent way to end the night!

So I didn't even really know what this place was but I saw it right next to Haven City Market and decided to check it out. They have a bunch of claw machines inside with dolls that you can win as prizes? Place seemed clean and nice inside and the employee was very friendly! Check it out if you like claw machines! read more

Most claw machine places have bootleg prizes, but KK has a solid selection. The space is clean. The two young ladies working were very attentive. They allowed us to swap prizes and assisted us every time we needed help. Each token is equivalent to $1. It is one token per play for a majority of the claw machines. They do have a few claw machines that cost more, but it's for a really good prize, such as a Labubu. The coins go by fairly quickly as each machine is a hit or miss and before you know it, your 5 tokens in and still trying to claw a cute stuffie! I purchased 50 tokens per child and it took us 30 minutes to finish the tokens. We left with branded plastic backpacks stuffed with stuffies. It shares a shopping center with Haven city market, which is very convenient. There is plenty of parking, and when you're done at KK you can grab some yummy food. read more

When this place 1st opened it was GREAT. Groupon had a discount and if I spent $40 we would be in there for about an hour and win a bag full of stuff animal's. The Claws were tight, it would hold the travel to the drop off hole. Really was fun for my grandson, built his confidence on the ability to win. We had not been for a few months and I took him for his birthday last week.. $30 lasted less then 10 min and the claws were so loose it would fall everytime unless you were right next to the hole, you were never going to get it there. I put another $20 on the card, gave him another 5min of play and won 1 other animam animal.. I felt like I was ripped off.. playing games impossible to win, extremely frustrating instead of fun. Don't waste your money there.. read more

I came here on my self care day off from work and it was super fun! It was towards the end of the month so the LaBuBus were running out but they have a lot of cute machines. Most machines are $1 token per play. LaBuBus are $5 token per play. Great location next to haven city where you can walk and grab a snack after. read more

My son and I have been coming here since they opened. It used to be great. We would spend $50 every time we went and he would leave with about 6-8 small stuffed animals. We went yesterday (Sunday). They changed to a card system instead of tokens. The cashier said it's still equivalent to about $1 per play. The stuffed animals they had were terrible and miscellaneous characters. The claw machines no longer grasp as good either. They must've fixed the grasp on the claws so the customers lose more. We spent $20 and could not get one stuffed animal. We will no longer come here. read more

I was having dinner next door when I saw Kawaii Klaws! I walked over after dinner. The staff is friendly and helpful. You are greeted as you walk in. They have music playing. They have about 30 or so machines that you can use. They take cash and tap payments to convert them into coins. Each coin is $1. There's different machine options to choose from gadgets to plushies. I thought the Dumbo one was cute, so I tried that machine. They have a cute area for you to take pictures. They also have a prize wall for the other machines that I believe give tickets. It's definitely a fun place to stop by if you're in the area! read more

5/5 stars! I absolutely adore Kawaii Klaws! Both kids and adults will have a blast here. One of the coolest features is that you can collect multiple items and trade them in for a bigger toy, which is perfect for those who don't want a bunch of small trinkets. The staff are always super helpful and friendly, and the location is fantastic - right in the same lot as West Covina Haven Plaza, near great food options. We love making it a fun day out, and I appreciate how well-behaved my kids are when they know we get to play here (if they behave and finish their food) afterwards! Highly, highly recommend Kawaii Klaws to anyone looking for a fun and challenging experience! It's also like $1 each game. read more

The place was okay. It was my first time here and I had been to a few claw machine places and it's been way better than this place. Each time my son got a plush, as soon as it went up and it was fall because it would bring it up so hard. It happened about 5 times and it's like a waste of money. It sucks cause my son was upset each time. Don't waste your money or time here unless you want an upset child and car ride that sucks. read more

My girl's favorite pastime. Winning stuffies! I would say this is a less frustrating claw machine shop where you can probably win at least 1-2 stuff dolls using $10. It is the thrill of winning that makes it fun. If you win a lot, you can trade in your winnings for a bigger prize. Check in to get 2 coins. They also have reward program if you sign up. read more

I used to love this place earlier this year, but recently the machines have definitely changed. The claws just aren't the same anymore. When they pick up the animals, they drop them almost immediately. There are fewer animals inside, and they're placed much lower, making it much harder to grab one. We used to come out with multiple prizes each visit, but now it's about 70-80% less. That says a lot. It feels like it was once easy to win in order to boost reviews, but not anymore. If you're planning to come here to win, don't waste your money. read more

This place is fun! We are from out of town and decided to stop by before heading back to the airport. Cute fun claw machines. Whats even better? If you happen to get something you are not happy with, they are more than happy to let you switch!! That right there is already awesome points. Let's be real, sometimes we end up getting something not intended and instead of being stuck with it, you get a chance to change it. Thanks so much for that! Another plus!! This place has more than just plushies. There were also snack machines, some other accessories, stationary items. I absolutely love the variety! Next time when we are in town, we will definitely be back! The person that was helping us was great! I didn't catch his name, but he was friendly, kind, and made a real great experience for us!! thank you!! read more

If you're lucky, just a few coins can get you a prize. Their sizes are no more than 8-10 inches tall at best. If you want bigger sizes, you can trade in starting at 8 winnings for a swap. I tried that, must be same day to swap, can't bring things in from your last winnings due to sanitary reasons. Got myself a big Pochacco!! Most of the items here are known characters but none of them have tags... For a good time and good price, this place can really make a kid happy. Claw game enthusiasts as well. Check it out, great service! Responsive in helping you rearrange and trade swaps. read more

It's $1 per play. They accept both credit card and cash. There's a good amount of claw machines to chose from and their selections of prizes changes every so often. Some machines were def easier than others! But the chances of winning something is pretty good. The staff is super nice and will help you win the prizes if you ask them to rearrange the prize you want. The only con is that there isn't AC in there so it can get pretty hot & stuffy. read more

Kawaii Klaws - The wins on the bench! - Arcades Near Me - West Covina, California

Instant wins possible! Which is nice so you can at least walk out with a few plushies. The plushies themselves in the machines are also pretty good quality and not super knock offs, so if you don't end up having enough to trade, you can still be satisfied with the few plushies you were able to get. There's also promos such as $20 for 22 tokens etc, but anything less than $20 will be $1 per token and 1 token to play each game. service was good and the staff helps you to rearrange the plushies for success upon request. read more

THIS IS MY FAVORITE LOCATION EVERR!! they are a lot more accommodating when it comes to trades. we were able to win 8 plushies with $20 (22 plays) without any repositioning. the selection here is a lot cuter than most places as well. they change the selection often so everytime i come, there's always something new. read more

Warning: Very addicting! This place is super fun. Really want to take my younger cousins here to try out their claw machine skills. There's a variety of plushies and you're bound to find one you want to take home. Claws are strong and I didn't spend too much money to win two plushies. Mix of luck and skill I'd say. Love the lighting and energy at each Kawaii Klaws location I've been to! read more

A great way to spend the weekend! They have so many cute plushies to choose from, like a lot of Sanrio ones, and some cute Disney ones too. And! if you manage to collect a variety of plushies you don't like, you can trade them in for BETTER plushies. They range from 6 plushies all the way up to 20 for the larger ones! So the claws are a bit weak at times, but it's not impossible to win! So it's nice that you come out with some dolls. Plus, check in on yelp for some extra tokens! read more

This is such a fun place to go to! I never ever win when I play with claw machines so I didn't have too high of hopes of winning anything here. But, I can happily say this is the first time and place where I've actually won something playing with a claw machine! Prices are fair and they give you the option to exchange the prizes you win for something behind the counter. I exchanged all my small plushes for 1 plush they had! I'd definitely bring your kids here! read more

I came by Kawaii Klaws with my sister because we heard that the place had recently opened. The front desk service employee was very friendly as she helped me with exchanging my money for tokens. The price is about $1 per token so it's a little on the pricey end as I was not the most lucky person with the claw machines. At the time I visited, the store was quite crowded, but there is a wide variety of plushies to try your luck with from characters of various video game properties, anime characters, and a random animals. They even have a plush trading system where you can exchange a certain number of smaller plushies for larger prizes! But maybe I'll have to try my luck next time to be able to win it big. But it was a great experience and good training for future claw machines! Also get 2 free tokens with the Yelp check in! read more

Great date idea and also fun for the whole family. Cashier will exchange your money for tokens. I asked ahead of time if he would help if we got stuck on a machine and he said no! Luckily we were able to win some prizes. Spent $20 on winning 3 pretty cute plushies. On a Friday night, all machines were pretty bare prize wise. I would have liked to see them filled a little more and with variety. There were repeat machines - multiple machines with the same plushies. At the time there were also no Kirby or Mario prizes so not sure when they decide to rotate plushies. Tons of parking in plaza. read more

what happened?! Kawaii Klaws used to be so fun! Hearing the coins clank, the tokens actually lasting and the prizes were sooo much cuter and a lot better quality! We went back a few days ago and it felt like a complete different place!!! the coins have been replaced with a CARD that you must pay $2 each to get! They changed the claw machine amounts! Each small game is 7.2 coins. Larger ones are more and some are even 32 coins per game!!!! At the old kawaii klaws we would spend about an hour. With this new digital card and weird points system, $50 worth of "coins" lasted about 10 min! My daughter was only able to win 1 plushie plus one small item. Absolutely ridiculous. Such a scam! Besides, before they had very cute and high quality plushies. Now they're all cheap, bootleg, dollar tree quality items. I can't believe Kawaii Klaws fell off! We are very disappointed. read more
