    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Snack shopping at the market after

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Took the kids and big kids on a quick trip for Happy Hour  We had a blast!

As of this review, they're currently having a 40% sale of the entire store with a section that's 50% off. I've seen them vend at a lot of SoCal anime conventions, always seeing attendees carry around their logo shopping tote bags with purchases, but alas I feel like the location (swaths of closed shops in the mall) things didn't line up, sadly. There's some cute photo opportunities and there's a decent mix of nerdy collectible goods there like Pop Up Parade figures, Nendoroids, Figma, Funko Pops (ugh), some western media (Star Wars and Stranger Things), Poke'mon goods (cards and some vintage figures), and blind boxes. Was very neat that they had Fate figures since I don't see that as often anymore, unless it's only prize figures, but they had the Figma for Okita Alter, the scale figure for Skadi, and Saber Alter Copoche. However, I'm sadly not in the market for figurines as a person out of space (I'll have you one day Oberon and Nobbu scale figures). Worker was quiet and minded their own business, but answered questions when need be. Hopefully conventions can help them more than what the mall had to offer.

I'm sitting on a well over 20 K in that account, and when I tried to call the business, there is nobody to speak to it goes to a voicemail telling you to contact their email. So if this guy really cared about a sale, he would be contacting me right now trying to make things right and get me to buy the product because I actually did need it for a gift and it's going to be hard to source elsewhere.

Thanks to the Yelp reviews I drove to this small store, and was surprised by the quality and atmosphere of Periwinkle. * This place was the best of all worlds for me *: - A truly new shopping discovery, as I do not buy a lot of paper products - Hints of quality vintage material, which I am appreciating as I get older - That sense that I am getting a great deal on stuff that would normally be a LOT more expensive elsewhere. (let me translate that into shopping-speak: Prices are SALE PRICES elsewhere!!!!) - Great personal service by the staff, who were eager to help me make style and color decisions without pushing or up-selling anything my way - Bringing back that childhood joy of watching my own product come together before my eyes, done by my own hands. Like crafts shop, but at an adult, professional level - And did I mention the staff was helpful? I felt more like I was at a friend's house working on a project than at some store with a body minding the counter waiting for the clock to hit quitting time.
