The nicest owners, so kind and understanding. So warm to talk to and such a clean facility. Cant wait to come back!!!!! This place seems great for a birthday party! read more

Another great time with six little girls in tow this time. The young guy working there was super nice and helpful. They really do help you out so you don't leave empty handed if your kid is or even you are having a hard time getting prizes. The machines are fair! Sometimes it gets a perfect grab and others holding on by 2 arms. Ask them for tips how to position the claw. read more

Pros. The place is clean and well stocked. A variety of different prizes in the machines. Very kind employees. The cons. After spending about $75 my 5 and 7 year old won one stuffy each. The machines were set much more difficult than many other claw machines at places we go. Not sure why but many of the claws would drop the toys right as they were about to be dropped into the hole. read more

Cute claw machine spot to bring kids all the joy!!! The young man working was very kind and arranged some of prizes so that they can easily be won. My five years old niece and nephew obviously struggle a lot, but it was nice to come out still a winner. The selection was decent. Not every machine had name brand, but that's expected at all claw machines. Value is decent as well since it's roughly $1/play depending on how much you purchase. Parking for this establishment is in the back. We spent about 45 minutes inside, but between the four (three kids under 8 and myself) we also had the $100 package for tokens. We didn't have to buy that much, but the kids were excited. read more

Very fun/challenging claw machines filled with decent prizes. Went here today with my niece and she was having a really hard time trying to win a stuffy. The staff there came over and really encouraged her and gave her some tips to win. We walked out a winner after several attempts and she was so happy. For a fun little pick me up this is the spot and it's affordable to do. Will be coming back again. read more

Stopped in here with the family after dinner. The owner was incredibly nice and helpful. He gave the kids a tutorial and made sure everyone won something. Great service and selection. Will definitely be back here. read more

I found them on Groupon and was looking for something that can be fun for the kids since their age range is from 4yo to 15yo! Staff was friendly, welcoming and even gave the kids pointers! We ended up trading our prizes and everyone left a winner! Def going back. read more

My kids and I love claw machines and we usually would go to Round 1 but realized how much we have been spending there and not usually taking anything home. Found this online and saw their token prices and they are seem pretty reasonable so decided to give it a try. i like that all claw machines (maybe around 20 total) have different plushies/prizes. The owners are very nice and helpful! they would arrange the plushies if it gets too difficult to get one and would give tips on how to do it right. My kids enjoyed the time here and ended up taking some plushies home! read more

If you love claw machines like my two kids do, this place is a must visit! There aren't too many spots like this in the Bay area and we are always down for unique new experiences so decided to come here. The owner was so kind and had his kids there helping out attentively. He gave us some tips to play and luckily both kids came out with plushies- my youngest got his favorite Warriors plushie which completely made his day. We walked out with 3 plushies and a few toys we purchased from their selection. My oldest was able to trade for a different plushie in the same claw machine which he appreciated. There was ample selection of plushies to choose from and a great trade up program to get bigger plushies. The place was super clean. $1 will buy you 1 play token or 2 tokens for the smaller machines The owner even asked if we wanted to take a family picture next to the cool Kaws which we took him up on. We will definitely be back when we are in the neighborhood- we loved it here. Happy to support a family run POC small business!! read more

Cali Claw - Arcades Near Me - Concord, California

Found this place via Yelp. & Now I understand why all the 5 stars reviews! I came here with my son and daughter today because we love claw machines. This place was very nice and clean, small but plenty of claw machines to choose from. There was a cool Kaws statue too! Total family owned business and I love that. The vibe was cool and chill, the owner was very nice! He gave us extra tokens during our visit since the kids weren't hitting any plushies. He even helped position the plushies to make it easier for my 7 year old daughter and gave us tips on where to claw. We appreciated that! Ended up leaving with 3 plushies and a Hello Kitty keychain. We enjoyed this place and wouldn't mind coming back. Customer service was A1! read more

My kids came home raving about this place and how nice the owner was. Everything was really clean and they had so much fun. My kids can't wait to go back. Highly recommend! read more

Staff is friendly and helpful! It's a small spot, the prizes leave a bit to be desired, but it looked like a lot of people were having fun. read more

Five stars isn't enough! Cali Claw is hands down one of the best experiences we've had in a long time. My 4 year old daughter and I had an absolute blast playing the claw machines, and the staff truly made the experience unforgettable. They were beyond friendly -- genuinely the nicest people you could ever meet. Also, the claws are NOT WEAK! See our video. After a few tries with no luck, they kindly offered to reposition some of the stuffies to give my daughter a better shot. Their kindness and patience turned a fun visit into a magical moment for her. The joy on her face when she finally won something was priceless! We will definitely be coming back -- not just for the games, the stuffy selection, and great price tokens for your buck, but for the positive, welcoming energy! Thank you, Cali Claw, for making our day so special. Highly recommend this place to families, kids, and anyone who wants a dose of fun and good vibes! read more

I found this place on TikTok and wanted to come here since there's nothing like it. It's a small place and there's plenty of street parking in the back. The place is small but there's a good amount of claw machines. You walk in and there's the register where you buy your tokes. I thought it was pretty reasonable pricing. I like that the smaller claw machines gives you two tries. Both my kids had a lot of fun. This place is very fun for any age. You can trade in small stuffed animals for a bigger one. The owner was very nice and helpful. We had an amazing experience. My kids already want to go back. Highly recommend! read more

Great variety of items and you can trade up. The owners are super nice! We had a fun time with our kids and they got a few things. Rates are on par with other claw machine spots and not super difficult but a decent level of challenging. You can also swap an item in the same machine if you grabbed another character. Overall, well worth the visit since we were in the area! read more

My 7 year old daughter had a blast! The staff was amazing, they took the time to walk us through their prize exchange and upgrade policies and even shared helpful tips. They offer Groupon discounts, but we found their in store pricing to be a slightly more but a better overall value. We'll definitely be back! We spent about 35 minutes there and won 6 prizes. If you're bringing little ones, just be prepared for moments of frustration. read more

I recently did a tour of claw machine arcades in the area (Cali Claw in Concord, Starbunni in Danville, Claw Meee in Milpitas and Round 1 in both Concord and Hayward) and Cali Claw by FAR exceeded the rest in terms of customer service. The owners are helpful and polite and have given my family tips when we go. They've repositioned prizes to help my daughter when she's having a tough time winning a plush she wants and have also surprised her with an extra token which helps make her day. The owners also encourage you to try to win whatever is easiest to grab in the machine and you're able to switch it out for whatever plush you like most in the same machine. When compared to other claw arcades the selection of plushes in the machine aren't my favorite but they have adorable ones in their trade up section. Overall 5/5 stars - would definitely recommend! read more

I have gone here multiple times with my boyfriend since they've opened and it has always been a fun experience! We used to go to Round 1 frequently but would always leave with one prize to show for our money. But here even despite the challenge, the owners always go out of their way to give us tips, extra tokens, and reset the machines. The prices are reasonable and the selection of prizes are typically within trend. They even have a plushie bank to trade in the unwanted prizes so that you can save them to trade in later for a bigger prize. Overall, super fun for date night or family time :) *pictures are from the multiple trips since 2024!* read more

I honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars! We were looking for something fun for the kids to do this weekend and came across this on Yelp. After reading reviews, we knew we had to come and see this place for ourselves. We have a 5 and 2 year old and they've been obsessed with claw machines lately. Unfortunately, we usually walk away with nothing and practically would've been better off just throwing our money in the trash. Not at this place though! First off, the value is already more bang for your buck than any other claw machine place we've been. Usually it costs us a few dollars per try, if not more. Each machine only cost a token and the tokens are $1/ea. If you buy more, it's even less per token. Admittedly we spent way too much but the kids had so much fun and kept winning over and over again. The owners were so sweet and kept resetting the machines so the kids would have an easier time winning a prize! If we won something from the machine but wanted another variation inside, they would swap it out. My daughter got Kuromi but really wanted Melody so we were able to trade. They were also extremely patient with my kids while they were deciding what to trade up to. Speaking of which, if you win enough plushies, you can trade up to better plushies or open a "plushie bank account" where you give them back the plushies and get plushie credits in return for a future visit. We are so so happy with our visit and will definitely be returning and telling friends about this place! Thanks so much for a fun time! read more

Cali Claw - Winning a snack prize - Arcades Near Me - Concord, California

Just visited here and had a great time with the family! Tons of different plushies to choose from and many of them are easy to win. The owners were super nice and helpful! For each machine the amount of tokens it took to win a prize seemed more than fair compared to other arcades. Would definitely come by again. read more

The kids had a lot of fun. If you're looking for a claw-machine place, this is probably the best. Best priced, friendliest staff, great selection. The token deal is generous and trade possibilities make it interesting. read more

Cali Claw is THE spot for a fun claw game experience. I went to Cali Claw with my husband for my birthday as a little fun activity to do before after my birthday lunch. We came on a Sunday afternoon and there were a couple groups there but plenty of space and machines to play. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and they explained the machine costs and the value token deals they have. As of January 2025, it's 1 token for a large machine play and 1 token gets you 2 plays on the smaller machines, with a dollar per token. They are very nice and threw in a couple extra tokens for us as trial tokens to try and get the hang of the machines. Now my spouse and I are no pros and are actively pretty bad at claw machines but even we left with a cute Sanrio themed plushie after a dozen or so tries. I saw them rearrange the plushie in the middle of our visit which made it much easier to grab. I even saw them get up and help with a mom and her 2 daughters advice on how to snag a plush they were going for. When we finished our tokens, they even gave us an extra token each as a last chance bonus when we returned the token tray. They are so friendly and we definitely be back to practice our claw skills. read more

We visited with our young kids and they had the best time. They walked away with more toys than they've ever won at any claw machine place. It was so much fun! Each game is just 1 token, and tokens are $1 each - but you get better deals the more tokens you buy. The owner was super friendly and generous, offering extra tries and even repositioning toys to help. You can also swap toys from the same machine (which was a nice bonus) and trade smaller toys for bigger ones. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back! read more

Saw a few friends post about Cali Claw and knew we had to bring the little guy since he's really into claw machines right now. Roel (sp?) was awesome! Very encouraging and definitely made the experience a good one for our toddler (and us adults!). He reminded us that claw machines are not only fun - but also promote patience, hand eye coordination, and depth perception. Big claw machines are one play per token. Small claw machines are two plays per token. The more big machine prizes you collect give you a chance at trading up -- 3 prize, 6 prize, 9 prize, and 12 prize increments. Prizes were up to date: Hello Kitty and friends, One Piece, Inside Out 2, Bluey.. etc. The have a bonus token system - buy a certain number of tokens, get some bonus tokens thrown in. I must admit - Cali Claw brought out the child in me, without having to spend an arm and a leg like at other places with claw machines. And we found we were more likely to win (and have fun) here. *BONUS* Music, vibe, and color scheme were definitely our vibe! Tell 'em the Octopus/Jellyfish kid sent ya! read more

I love claw machines, but what's even better is going to a place where you know you will leave with at least one plushie in hand. When arriving here, the owner was super nice and informative about how why he opened this claw machine place and he really wanted to let children have the feeling of winning. Comparing this place to round 1, with round 1 you never really know how much you're spending because of their credit system. However, here at Cali Claw, one token at a big machine gives you one play, and one token at a small machine gives you two plays. Service here is top notch. If you feel like you can't get access to winning a plushie, the owner will help you by adjusting the toy to make it easy to win. He will also give you tips and tricks on where to grab in order to win. What I also like about this place is let's say you win a plushie at the machine, but you wanted a different plushie that was offered in that same machine, you can do a trade which is awesome! They offer various sizes of plushies and they have a trade in system where if you wanted to get the enormous plushie that is worth like 16 plushies, you can put your name into their system and trade in x amount of plushies. That way when you come back and win some more, you're in their system with a detailed amount of how many you already traded in. Highly recommend coming here because it's fun, service is amazing and who doesn't love plushies?! read more

Cool claw arcade in Concord, CA. The owners are very nice and helpful. I love playing claw games even though i lose more than i win, it's still a fun time. It's definitely a lot more reasonable and rewarding than other arcades in the area. I definitely recommend going for the $60 range, as it gives you a lot of chances to win. Prizes do rotate, so it's cool to see different prizes in the machines when you go. Parking i find behind their building so it's pretty easy. I definitely hope they are able to expand their business and open a larger claw arcade in the future. Definitely a fun time for all ages, dont let your stress get you, you'll definitely win something read more

I can't even lie, probably the best clawcade I've ever been to. My boyfriend and I drove up from LA to visit family and thought that we might as well find an arcade while we are up here! The prizes are super cute! And I can tell that owner cares a lot about his customers. He was very welcoming and kind and gave us many tips on how to win the claw. He would readjust the prizes in our favor. I feel like the machines are a lot less greedy than other places I've been to as well. 10/10 I would recommend and I am 100% coming back here in the future. read more

Saw this through TikTok since my partner's hometown is Concord, so we visited while we were there for the weekend and it was such an amazing experience! Service: 11/10! Once we walked in, the man asked us if it was our first time there and since it was, he explained how everything went down. If you purchase a specific amount of tokens, you get a couple more free which is an amazing value! Staff also explained if we win something from a machine but wanted something specific inside of the machine, we can exchange it and I thought that was very nice! Selection: 10/10! They had lots of plushies to choose from. My partner's mom loves Hello Kitty, so we won her a little HK & Kuromi keychain and she loved it! Value: 10/10! $1 = 1 token and it's 1 token per play. To me, that's awesome considering how some claw machine arcades charge for more. Overall, loved my whole experience here and would definitely come back whenever my partner and I are back in the area! read more

This place is amazing the claw machines are so fun and easy to play if you are stuck the staff will put the plushies in better places to get. You can trade up your plushies and very reasonable prices and most of the time they will give you extra coins 10/10 would recommend for someone looking to have fun read more

Incredible experience and returning today for my daughters birthday! Owners are super sweet and works well for kids ages 2 - teen! They gave my almost 3 year old extra tokens and even helped set up the toys so they are easier to grab / win! Best of luck to this darling business! Wish they were available for buyout for birthday parties - would pay $500 for one hour and wish we can purchase a big toy for birthday girl, would pay an excessive ammount $150? but other than that couldn't be better. read more

I've been coming here with my husband since I believe early February 2025 and I've won so many plushies here! The owners are so nice and really want you to have fun and win. Their customer service is wonderful and that's an understatement. They will help you reset the plushie so it's easier to win as long as you try it first. They will also give you tips on how to win as well. You can win the easiest prize in the claw machine and trade it for one in that same claw machine if you don't like the one you one, but you have to do that the same day. I went last weekend with my in-laws and my niece had a blast! It was their first time there and we all had fun. The claws are not loose and you have an actual chance of winning. As far as the price, the more tokens you buy, the better the deal. Don't sleep on this place. Come out and support Cali Claw USA! read more

You can also trade your smaller prizes and upgrade to a bigger one! The owner was super friendly and told us helpful tricks to successfully capture the prizes on our own. read more
