They also have a few small claw machines. Overall a great variety of items to choose from. Prices are very fair for both tokens and merchandise; they're definitely comparable to or slightly cheaper than bigger stores. They also have a trade section for blind buys and a fun game to try for more prizes if you turn in your empty capsules! Plenty of parking in their shared public lot. Very chill ambiance - not too overstimulating but definitely a fun vibe to shop around in. I adore how the owner has decked out the store. My family and I had the best time here. 1000/10 recommend!

We came half an hour before closing, and decided to take a little walk around the shop. The exterior is brightly lit with captivating lights and the machines itself are blinking at you, asking you to spend your money! The prices were consistent and decently priced. Since we were window shopping, we didn't ask for any support but a couple next to us did. The person at the register was very friendly and had wonderful energy! If you're finding a specific toy, this place is sure to have it. I didn't end up purchasing anything tonight since I came from the POP MART in Costa Mesa, but I know where to go when I need to!

This is going to be my new go to place for gifts. I especially love that I got to meet the owner and she was so nice and down to earth, we talked about her love of collections which you can tell by her meticulously chosen items. There were so many things I wanted to buy but I'm trying to be better on needs vs wants so I did not buy anything (this time) to my surprise on my way out she gifted me a cute limited edition figure and a coupon just for stopping in! Thank you so much! You gained a customer for life. Grotto Treasures reminds me of BoxLunch which is where I would buy a lot of Christmas gifts, I will be making my purchases here now because I'd much rather support a local small business. If you are in Chino Hills you have to stop by the prices are much better than buying at the mall.

As typical machines go, your chances of actually winning something is low. Either way, if the kids enjoy it, give it a look. Maybe, you'll win something?

Sadly, this place has gone down in rating in my opinion. Staff isn't too attentive or helpful, on…read moretheir phones mainly. Also, the price you pay for the tokens you get and the price of each machine is NOT worth it. When we first went everything was 2 tokens and it made sense. Now, the plushies variety is minimal and cheap quality. Also please note that these are NOT quality claws. We have been to numerous claw machine arcades in Southern California and this one by far is one of the worst. We normally leave with several plushies. Today we spent 100$ and left with 1. The claws don't close all the way or open all the way or they close too fast or don't have all the grips on them. Ultimately, today was our last visit there. Not worth the money or time.

Originally this was going to be a 1 star review however Aiden changed all that. I originally was…read moreapproached by a gentleman who was bald and glasses (sorry did not offer his name) with a black polo shirt. I explained my project and he seemed disinterested in the idea and gave short one word answered and walked away. Seemed to care more about sorting rocket engines and helping a customer who was looking at a new rc car than myself or my son. Went to ask someone else for help. Aiden listened to our ideas and we needed. He went to work to provide us with the materials we needed and was very kind to myself and my son Aiden single handedly saved our experience. From my observations the black polo shirt gentleman seemed to be management - where I think Aiden would have been a better manager. Hobby stores are hard to come by these days and this experience could have easily converted me to seek guidance online, however Aiden changed this. Please go to this store for Aiden. But avoid the guy in the black polo shirt belongs in the tool selection.

I rearranged my schedule and made time to come back based on what your staff told me. When I arrived today, I was told they still weren't out yet. When I asked if there was anything they could do since I was specifically instructed to come back at that time, the employee at the front basically acted indifferent and just said there was nothing they could do. I've been in retail for years, and entering inventory into a system is not some massive impossible task. This honestly came across as laziness and a complete lack of concern for customer satisfaction. Don't tell customers to come back at a specific time if you're not actually prepared to follow through. Traffic and gas prices in Southern California are terrible. People are spending real time and money to come support your business, so at least be considerate of that when making promises to customers. I understand inventory processing takes time, but communication and effort matter. A simple apology or attempt to help would have gone a long way. The store is large and packed with product, but there also weren't many customers there, which makes the lack of urgency even more frustrating. The owner should seriously consider improving management and customer service standards because experiences like this are exactly why customers stop coming back.
