I don't know how this place doesn't have many more reviews but this is such a cute spot to take kids or even a date to if they're into all these cute stuffed animals! They have a great variety, and the claw isn't weak, although it did take a few times on some machines to get a winning, I think that could be from the prize being a little heavy. Overall, I think the price is good a dollar per try, they had good music going on, a good amount of customers in there, even though it's in a mall that's slowly closing down. Me and my daughter had a great time, we probably spent over an hour there. read more

I've been to this places' Alhambra location, however that one pales in size next to Westminster's location. This is located within the Westminster mall, on the second floor occupying a pretty large space. I came to this location because the Groupon I had only worked here and not at the Alhambra location. The worker at the location was nice and took care of my Groupon. She gave us a basket for our tokens. She mentioned that this is probably the largest Kawaii Klaws location out of all the another areas. There are easily 30+ different claw machines in this location. There was enough variety in plushies among the machines, but I wish they had more as there were a lot of commonalities among Sanrio and a lot of bunny inspired plushies. We left with 4 plushies on this visit, the staff working their was friendly and she said she loved my bf's and my energy which I thought was so lovely of her to mention...I asked her name but forgot but she was really sweet. If you're looking for a place to kill time and want to try and score some cute plushies this is the place! read more

Kawaii Klaws was a really really fun experience. My husband and I came here on a Groupon and had an excellent time. There's a huge selection of claw machines and you can win a lot of fun prizes. Definitely recommend for date night, birthday, or anything at all! read more

Came here after seeing all the great Yelp reviews! The front desk staff were on their phones when we walked in and didn't say anything to us--not a huge deal, but a friendly "hello" would've been nice. We used a Groupon and it was super easy to redeem--big plus! Loved that they had shopping carts to carry all the plushies you win. Super helpful! (: Con: it was really hot inside. The fans were on, but it still felt pretty warm the whole time I was playing. Would be way more comfortable with better AC. read more

Got a Groupon to try and found this place in an eerily deserted mall with most of it's stores closed. Lots of machines to try and some are pretty easy so you'll be able to win something in maybe 5 tries but still not really worth the price even with a Groupon. read more

Had a five star experience with their Buena Park location, so I stopped by this location at the Westminster mall as I had an hour to kill. Overall, I think it's fun. Won five plushies with my $20 (see pictures for my haul). With yelp check in, ended up getting 24 tokens for $20 (normal rate is 22 tokens for $20 and 2 bonus tokens for check in). They do give an extra three tokens if you write a review. I didn't try take advantage of this offer, but this is why there's the yelp warning for "suspicious reviews". Compared to my experience at the other locations, the difference was that employees felt more helpful elsewhere. Your miles will likely vary with talking to staff and asking for help. If you really want to come home with plushies, then you'll have to choose your machines wisely. There was a batman and pikachu plush that I liked, but I left behind. If you get too emotional and you go for plushies that are packed in deep, then you'll just get frustrated. Two important notes: 1) The quality of the plushies are nice, but they do not appear to be official licensed products. (If you look at the picture of my haul, you'll see the blue hello kitty plush has "helle kitty" written on its foot). I'm fine with this as my main priority was to have fun; however, it's relevant to note. 2) If you cherry pick for easy plushies, you could trade them in for larger plushies that are positioned behind the front counter. There are some impressively large plushies that you could trade for 3-20 smaller ones. This offer is only good for things that are won during your current visit. read more

Kawaii Klaws is located inside the Westminster Mall. My sister and I came when the mall was closed at 7pm, but Kawaii Klaws stays open till 8:30pm on weeknights. The mall entrance by Luxe buffet stays open for you to go to Kawaii Klaws. They have a TON of machines! All the plushies are super adorable. It seems all the machine is 1 token and 1 token is $1! Pretty good deal. If you check in on yelp, it's 2 free tokens. They have token machines throughout the place, but it only takes exact cash. You can purchase tokens with card at the counter. My sister and I had a ton of fun and we both got plushies! Would definitely come back. read more

We were in town visiting some friends and I saw this place on my IG feed. We wanted to take the kids to play but I think the adults ended up enjoying it more lol. Anyways this place was pretty kool but walking thru the mall to get to the place was sad. Malls aren't definitely like they were back in the days. Ghost Town. The folks working there were very nice, friendly and attentive. This place was bigger than I expected. We purchased the special on coins (cant remember exactly how much) but we had enough to win a few plushies. The selection of the machines were awesome! There was a machine we all wanted to try and win! We all left with a plushie each. read more

I took my son for something to do and used a Groupon. The mall is dead no normal stores only a few weird stores. Its good tho if you want your kids to run around an abandoned mall. There is no AC in mall so be aware. The kawaii klaws itself was just ok. You are likely to get a toy but the klaws are rigged. 5x we clearly had the stuff animal and then the klaw just opens. And then another time the klaw didn't even drop down all the way it dropped like 2 inches and went back up. So definitely not worth it if I didn't have the Groupon. We were able to get 2 stuffies though probably by luck. The place itself is cute and most of the stuffies are cute so I'll give a star for that. Overall would not return unless I had a Groupon. Not worth a $1 per coin. read more

This place is so cool! Each play is a dollar and on my first try I won this cute little acorn frog. I named him Fred. I've never won before like ever in my life! So I stopped while I was ahead. I'll come back and try again next week read more

Kawaii Klaws - So cute - Arcades Near Me - Westminster, California

Came across this place on Groupon. They had a good deal where you can get $20 worth of tokens for only $13. They are located at Westminster mall so parking was easy to find given that this mall doesn't get that much foot traffic. Inside, it was pretty big with lots of machines to choose from. It's one token per play and the claws here are not rigged and can hold a good grip. They have a good variety of cute plushies from Sanrio to anime but they're not authentic, just something to keep in mind. I still had fun though and I won a couple plushies. Definitely a great place to take your kids or have a date night. read more

This Kawaii Klaws is located inside the Westminster Mall (second floor by JC Penny). The design is so cute and there's plenty of options for fluffy animals and different characters! The more you spend, you can also get some extra tokens. They also give clear bags to show off your winnings! Also there's plenty of photo opportunities to take photos with good lighting read more

Something might be going on in Westminster mall as it seemed that Kawaii Klaws was one of the few places not perspiring to shut down. I definitely recommend going over if looking for a fun activity. At $1 per game, who wouldn't want to try their luck with a crane game? (Don't forget to checkin for 2 extra shillings!) Staff is very polite. The girl at the register was apologetic as they couldn't exchange coins for us because we were a little early. They have token machines but they only accepted cash at the time. The crane seemed pretty fair or at least teased us with its ever so slight strong grasps on the plushies. In total we spent around $20 per plush. Overall, it was a fun experience and I'm glad that something like this exists. read more

I love Kawaii Klaws. It is perfect to spend time with friends and family. It reminds me of the machines in Japan. This place is definitely winnable. Tip: you can double tap when the claw touches a toy. Check in for your two free coins! You can get a price break when you buy coins in bulk. Get your friends and family together and split the coins. It is good value. This is a large venue with many machines and plushies to choose from. read more

I brought my son here after being told it was a cool fun spot. And I was not disappointed! My son won a few games, and had a blast trying to win all of the prizes! The attendant was great, super friendly and helpful when a machine ate two coins. Pricing is good, be prepared to spend at least $20 to have the best valued time. If you've got toddlers or smaller kids that love crane games, this is an amazing spot to try! read more

Our first time here. First time hearing about this place was on Instagram. We had to make a stop at the Westminster Mall yesterday to do a return, so before doing that we headed into Kawaii Klaws. First thing we had to do first was get some tokens for the machines. We head over to customer service desk and they were helpful. They had a variety of cute prizes in their claw machines. Overall cute claw arcade. read more

Nice retail space changed to just have a bunch of claw machines. Wasn't packed at all. They accept card at the front desk and cash at 2 separate self serve kiosks. A lot of people were winning very easily, my daughter wasn't unfortunately, she did win 3 things out of $40 Each game is $1 - 1 token All the different plushies are pretty cute ETA: staff is amazing. They would open the machines and set up stuffies to make it easier for kids And then $60 later they saw how desperate she was for cinnamon roll, and gave it to her! That is amazing and awesome and now my daughter says we need to come back all the time read more

My family enjoys claw games and this was another good option to visit while in OC. It's in a pretty dead small and difficult to get to because some of the mall esculators don't run and some stairways are taped off. The games are similarly priced as the location in Buena Park, but this one seems larger inside and has interior seating. The service was standard and prize winnings were good quality and quantity. read more

We had an amazing experience. We wanted to take our son for his bday surprise because he loves claw machines. At first, it was hard to find because like the other reviews, it was in the deserted Westminster Mall. But, I liked that there weren't that many people there. The service was great. We got our tokens ($50 for 55- pretty good value) and my son went at it. Each game takes a token. He played his heart out and got as many as he could, so the selection was perfect. We were very satisfied, probably because he's got a way with the claw machines! This was his bday treat, so he was very thankful! read more

Saw this place on IG and thought I'd take my nephew to check it out. We visited the Buena Park location and it was small but we had the bigger winnings there. We then visited this location and going into the mall, it looked like the back rooms: scary and eerie. The kawaii claws is in the upper level at the end of the mall and near a JCPenney. This one was big but the winnings were small. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

It's cool to see a spot focused on claw machines as the premise is pretty simple. That being said, being nestled in a dying mall does make it difficult to thrive. The claws are challenging (may be easier for some) but I like that it's no too crazy in price and you can spend anywhere from a few minutes to an hour depending on how into claw machine games you are into. But it's a decent spot that's cool to check out, if not just for the bright flashy light atmosphere! read more

I went to the Kawaii Klaws in Buena Park and was really surprised to run into this one! I love claw machines and being able to trade up for better prizes. This location is bigger too! Obviously, the machines have a payout & you won't be able to win every time, but it's still a fun little spot to hangout with a friend or date! If you check-in, they'll give you 2 tokens too! read more

The machines at this location sucks. Even if youre lucky enough to grab a stuffed animal - the machine will shake so hard that it'll fall down anyways. I didnt experience that at the other locations so i'm not sure what's up with this place. Its hidden in the dead mall of westminster and honestly, i had high hopes for it but we spent over $30 and didn't even get 1 thing. I'd say to go to a different location & see how it goes. The west covina one is really good read more

Saw this place on IG. Was so stoked to see a place for claw machines for kids to play. It's located inside the mall. Really big space loving the variety of different types of prizes you can win. Each game is a token which is a $1. Claws are a bit flimsy so your tokens can easily be gone, but we always leaving at least with a prize. Bought 20 tokens which took us about 30 mins to play if you take your time. If you sign up for their rewards program, they will send you extra tokens for your loyalty visiting their business. Every time they send me those, you bet I'm there with the kids. They are so obsessed and so am I! We always come out with 5 to 6 stuff animals all the time. So I think it's worth it. Why not? It's fun for the whole family! Staff are so friendly there which makes it even more inviting to visit. Can't wait to go back! read more

This location is inside the rundown mall of Westminster. I'm really surprised they even opened a location here considering there's nothing left of this mall. All that aside, this place is pretty big. Lots of machines & cool prizes however I felt like the claws here and pretty flimsy and loose. We've gone to the West Covina location and the claws there grip very well. However here at Westminster, we noticed a lot of the machines would grab the toys just fine but as it goes up, and hits the top, it swings and will drop it. The girls working here didn't seem too friendly either. read more

Kawaii Klaws is one of the few stores in the Westminster mall that doesn't appear to be shutting down. I've been to other arcades where each claw machine is 4-6 tokens. Here, each claw machine is only 1 token. They have a wide selection of prizes from cards to plushies. Some of the plushies look a little...off but that's OK! Still a lot of cute plushies to choose from. The space itself is huge. There is a huge plushie wall you can take photos in front of and seating. Staff is friendly and helpful. We asked them to move the plushies to a more accessible spot and they hooked it up. Tip: You can get additional tokens by writing a review or checking in on Yelp/ read more
