    The double-decker Starcade was the best in the 80s, always luring us out of the Space Mountain line (back then, we'd rarely wait if the line made it "outside"). My games of choice were Rally X and Tron. Hell, even the escalators were fun. Once separated from your friend, you had to search for them- sometimes you would catch them coming up as you were going down. Trust me, before smartphones this was considered fun. As passholders, it wasn't uncommon for us to go to Disneyland in the late 80s just to play air hockey, because they had a bank of old-school, heavy, air hockey tables. [That might sound crazy now, but in the pre-DCA days, we could tell the parking booth we were dropping someone off, tear the windshield marker off, and park just 100 feet away from the turnstiles to get in.] It will always be a special place because it was the setting for two of our home movies, one being "Compatibility Report" in which I type in the names of Joe and myself only to be called a homophobic slur from the robot. The other was a parody of "Rainman" where Joe helps me beat PacMan (and then I teach him how to kiss). Note to self: maybe I am gay.

    Our experience here was honestly one of the worst we've had at a bar, and it completely ruined what…read morewas supposed to be a fun night. The bartender, Elizabeth, appeared to already be in a bad mood before we even got there. We watched another female customer try to get her attention, and instead of handling the situation professionally, Elizabeth became visibly upset and refused to serve her. The woman eventually left the bar area, and because she appeared intoxicated, she ended up walking over to our table and asked if she could sit with us. We're a friendly group, so we let her sit for a few minutes. Apparently that was enough for Elizabeth to hold a grudge against us. We had literally just arrived and had only been there for a few minutes, yet from that point on she intentionally ignored us, was rude, and refused to serve us for no legitimate reason. We had absolutely nothing to do with the disagreement between her and that customer, yet we were treated as if we did. To make matters worse, multiple people waiting at the bar commented that they noticed the same thing--that she was purposely ignoring us and acting unprofessionally. Several people identified her as Elizabeth and also said she appeared to be under the influence while working. Whether that was actually the case or not, her behavior certainly gave that impression and was completely unacceptable for someone responsible for serving customers. We've never experienced this level of petty, unprofessional customer service before. It left a terrible impression and completely ruined our visit. On top of that, they don't even serve basic drinks and shots that most bars offer, such as Mexican Candy shots, Lemon Drop shots, or Micheladas. Save yourself the disappointment and drive a few extra minutes to Downtown Fullerton instead, where you'll find better bars, better drinks, and bartenders who treat customers with professionalism, respect, and who don't appear under the influence.

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.

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!

    Castle of fun! My group bought the $48 Golfland Fun Pass and it was worth it. All attractions are…read moreincluded but the attractions we did were mini golf, laser tag, bumper boats, race cars, and everyone used all 35 points on their arcade card. You get around 6 minutes of play time per attraction. To access attractions, you press a service button to call over an employee. It was not crowded on a Monday afternoon and there was plenty of free parking. + We started off our day with bumper boats to cool off in the summer heat. Each boat had built in water shooters. We were spraying each other and everyone got soaked. + We went on race cars to dry ourselves off. The cars were surprisingly fast. - For race cars, there was no working service button. Instead, there was a picture of a button taped to the wall which was a bit confusing. We ended up finding a staff member who let us in. It would be helpful to have a note with instructions on what to do. + The laser tag arena was bigger than expected with plenty of walls and obstacles to hide behind. There were even a couple of jump scare surprises lurking in corners. + Mini golf was fun with different colored golf balls and decorated courses. + Plenty of arcade games for all ages. - Some games were broken or out of service. + Clean bathrooms. + They sell Dole Whip here.

    We came mainly for the arcade games, and while we still had an okay time, it wasn't quite what we…read moreexpected. We spent about $40 on arcade games, and it didn't go very far. The game selection is fairly limited, and some of the games weren't in the best condition. For example, the ring toss game was missing a lot of its rings, and I later noticed several of them scattered on the floor. Overall, the arcade could definitely use some updates and renovations to make the experience more enjoyable. That said, I would consider coming back if they offered better deals or promotions, as I think the place has potential with a few improvements.

    My daughter loves stuffed animals and we've become obsessed with claw machines. We've tried…read moremultiple places, and by far this one is the best! Other arcades require more tokens for bigger stuffed animals and make it harder to grab. Here, every game is just 1 token and the machines actually have really cute selections of stuffed animals. I also want to highlight Elliott, who has been always super friendly and helpful every time we go. Yesterday (8/24/25) was our second time visiting when Elliott was working, and the positive experience stood out again, so I had to ask for the name. The only downside was the female staff member working right before Elliott's shift on 8/24/25, who was rude and seemed unhappy to be there. Even my 5-year-old daughter noticed and asked, "Is she mad?" Other than that, this place offers the best claw machine experience and we'll definitely keep coming back!

    Thank goodness I bought a Groupon because if I paid full price to play claw machines here I would…read morebe so upset. Like many reviews before this one, it appears the claws do not have the full grip on the item once you have a good hold of it. We tried different sizes of items and noticed it looks loose and will drop the item as gravity and inertia does its magic. Such a scam lol. Would not recommend coming here unless you're the type to prove everyone else that experienced this wrong. I would give this place 1 star. The other star is for the fellow kind worker who was there. They were so kind to my toddler who didn't win anything after all the attempts (and our attempts too lol) but they offered my son a balloon. So in his eyes, he walked out a winner. I didn't catch their name but thank you so much for making our day and experience still a positive one!
