We have been here multiple times and always have a great time!! The owners and all the other staff are so friendly and helped us win prizes after a couple of tries. Their instagram @chibiclaws even has videos on how to catch the prizes!! There's tips on the machine on where to catch it. They rotate their prizes pretty often. Make your moneys worth with the trade in system, you can trade 1 plush for 1 credit and they have many other prizes for a set amount of credit. We racked up points to get a giant mew half the size of our bodies haha. 10/10 would recommend. Once we started going here, nothing beats it!! Bring your kids, your fam, your partners, it'll be an amazing time!! :)) read more

I've been here a only a couple times, but I've always had great experiences. They offer a variety of claw machines, all with plushies and even some with snacks! Most claw machine places fill their machines with ugly cheap toys that look like they were either made in the dark or purchased off Temu for a penny. However, this place has a bunch of cute plushies! LOADS of sanrio, such as Hello Kitty and Friends. I've even seen some Miffy and pokemon. They also offer trade ins, meaning you could trade in your smaller prizes for a big one. I've never had any bad experience here. Service was always good. I think one of the workers saw me struggling, so he came over and offered to rearrange the prizes for me so they were easier to grab. He even gave me advice on where I should aim to get the prize! Overall this is a great place for families or even a little date night event. Definitely would recommend everyone bring their kids and loved ones for some fun! read more

Place is definitely a scam, they have set up the claws to give the lowest possible hit rate. Any type of tension or movement and the prize slips out. We spent $50 and came out with 5 plushies. You can tell this company pays for their ratings and if you look at their recent 5 star ratings they're new fake ghost accounts. Service here is pretty low bar too. Asked the guy with glasses at the counter a few questions and he just kept texting on his phone and answering. Was too into his texts to fully answer me. Save your money and time. We came here after going to orange claw where we came out with close to 20 plushies for $50. They even gave us an extra 10 coins cause it was for our kids. I don't think I will ever come back to this place. read more

This is such a fun place, I love how they rotate the stuff animals out so it's always new and fresh. Each machine costs $1 to play, and you need to exchange your money for Chibi Tokens. You can ask one of the workers to move the stuff plushies for you to make it easier to pick-up. They also can coach you on how to win. We've won a ton of plushies and our collection keeps piling up. If you get enough, they give you a complimentary free bag! You could exchange (current) plushies the day you win them for bigger ones at the front. Shout out to one of the workers, Jordy! Excellent customer service, looks like he loves what he does and he just radiates positive energy. Thanks again for all you do, Jordy! read more

Haiku: Chibi Claws Assorted stuffies Friendly and helpful workers Neatly arranged friends. --- We stumbled across this claw machine store while at Great Wolf Lodge (it's literally right next door). We've come a couple of times and both were top experiences. This place has really cute animal stuffies like Sanrio characters, Pokémon, Kpop Demon Hunters, and other adorable and endearing animals. What sets this spot apart from other stuffed animals gaming centers is that the staff is phenomenally friendly and helpful. They are constantly arranging the animals into neat rows for easier claw grabbing. I was having a difficult time grabbing an adorable croissant Jellycat-dupe, so the staff helped stack it higher for me to have a better chance at grabbing it. It worked! The coins are $1 per coin, but the machines here seem to be easier with better chances at securing a "strong claw grab." Also, the staff will help you upon request. We always leave with a bag stuffed with stuffies! There's also a section of the store where you can upgrade your stuffies by trading only day-of grabs. This is the perfect spot to bring the kiddos for a casual birthday outing. They don't have event space for rent, but you can bring your kid & friends and buy their tokens. They will go wild and have THE BEST TIME! Happy grabbing! read more

This place is super cute and addicting. Each play is one coin ($1). They have lots of cute plushies options. It was our first time so we're not very good, but I noticed a lot of other people were winning quite a bit. The claws do not have good grip (typical) but the games are still winnable. The worker noticed we were trying quite a few times to win a prize for our young son and he was very nice and helpful. Our little boys loved it! read more

Chibi Claws - How cute is this? - Arcades Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Tall guy on shift tonight was very kind and explained some tips for us! We spent alot, but also came out with alot(2 bags full)! Round 1 is $3-4 each play, but this place is just $1, though the prizes are smaller, they were still very cute read more

I've been here three times and I LOVE IT! Super friendly staff who help you figure out how to win and also help place items in a way for you to grab them if requested. 1 credit per machine which is great because your money can go further. Trade ups available but only on same visit. Only reason why it's 4 stars is that it can vary how much you can win depending on the types of stuffies (heavier harder to win) and their positioning in the machine. I like the challenge of figuring it out though. It's in a mini mall complex so free parking. read more

First time checking this place out and it was cool. We've been to Kawaii Klaw and this place was similar but had different plushies. They do exchanges if you want to trade the ones you just won for another they have behind their cash register. Just know that once you leave with your plushies you CANNOT go exchange or return due to a hygiene policy. They have a loyalty program if you know you'll be back for more claw fun. read more

If you love the excitement of challenging claw games, this spot is the place for you. We spotted this place after our night at Great Wolf Lodge. My kids loved the prizes we won from cute plush animals, pencil holders, candies, and even snacks. For $20 worth, we got plenty of prizes and big bangs for your bucks! So worth it! Staff were friendly and gave us hints on how to win. You also have the option to trade in your plush animals for bigger ones. Super fun entertainment for the whole family. read more

Been to a ton of claw game spots, and this one is definitely fair. Not my biggest haul, but we spent $20 and walked away with two prizes. The employees are super cool--they go around adjusting the plushies in positions that make them winnable. All the crane strengths felt fair, with no sudden drops at the end, and every game was just $1 (1 token), which is awesome. We ended up snagging Steve from Minecraft and a capybara. Fun times! read more

I regret coming here... because now we're addicted and found yet another place to drop some cash in this plaza. Normally we go to only nickel nickel. This is the best claw machine arcade around! Machines are all the same price and the plushies look cuter than the ones I saw at other claw arcades. They also don't gouge you or punish you for using credit card to buy the tokens. Give up your phone number to get bonus tokens via text message. read more

Had the best experience here today! We stopped by just to check it out and walked away with 3 plushies and spent less than $20 believe it or not. The guy working there was super awesome and gave tips on how to catch them. He even bagged up the plushies for us. Another mother and child were playing as well- and they already had a few wins in the short time they were there. This isn't like other claw machine places that make it impossible for you to get anything. I'll definitely stop by there more often. read more

My friends and I had so much fun at Chibi Claws and we won so many plushies. I even won enough plushies to trade for the big capybara , which costs 17 to trade and has high quality. The employees here are super friendly, and Jeff, one of the staff, keeps rearrange the plushy to help us win. I can't find any other claw shops that actually want you to win as many as you can like this place. They even show tips to help you win on most of the machines. We will definitely come back here cause "Chibi Claws is cheaper than therapy" when you need to relax or release stress. P/s: They also have new LABUBU and Demon Slayers character boxes in their machines! read more

So satisfying for my inner child! I love claw machines but i never win anything lol. I love how easy it is to win a prize and its super cute. Its about $1 a token and $1 a try but the more you buy it can be a little cheaper. I got 22 tokens for $20. Took me about 6 trys to get the baby cinnamonroll and and 3 to get the jolteon, very reasonable and fun. You can also trade in the plushies for a larger prize. read more

This place is really amazing. We came here on Valentine's Day with the family after some time at Nickel Nickel next door. We used 6 tokens total, with each token costing $1. My daughter got this nice good sized capybara stuffy after trying multiple times (she's 9). The person at the front was so nice and friendly. Everyone is a winner, by the looks of how well their bags were filled. We can't wait to come back! read more

Chibi Claws is by far a top claw machine arcade in OC! I wish there were more locations! (Irvine Spectrum or Outlets of Orange) great price for the amount of plushies you can win! The plushies are also of great quality! The trade ups are also a plus and you truly get a great bang for your buck! Service from the claw attendants are amazing. The staff is friendly and helpful alll the time. We comes here about 1x a month but will make it weekly after finding out they get new inventory weekly! We love Chibi Claws! read more

Husband found this store and the kids were thrilled. We got the 50 token plus 10 bonus token package for $50. Played maybe 20-30 minutes and won 10 toys from the machines. We traded 2 of the plushies for 1 better plush that's located at the back of the cash register. You have the option to trade up your small plushies for larger ones, some large plushies require 8, 10, or even 20 small plushies to trade. Just look at the counter behind the cash Register for the bigger prizes. Only 2 workers on site, sofas available to relax in, and just loads of fun to get a dopamine kick. Kids walk out happy. Parents are heroes. read more

My kiddos LOVES plushies and playing the claw machines. I saw that there was one in Garden Grove on IG and knew I wanted to take my kiddos here the next time we were around the area. Very spacious store. Lots of cute plushies! They even have a corner where you can take pictures to show off your winnings or just because. Staff are super nice, they were willing to move the plushies around to help you if you keep playing a machine and the plushies just look impossible to win. When I first purchased tokens Danny provided us with a bag and in my head, I was thinking do we truly need this? I honestly didn't think we will win that many plushies but low and behold we did. So the bag came in super handy and we even got to trade up. Let's just say my kiddos were so happy and even asked to come back again. They have cute plushy items and if you or your little ones love Pokemon then this is the spot to go to. I'm just glad that Chibi Claws is not rigged for us to lose. I definitely will take my kiddos back and if you love plushies or playing the claw machines then this is the spot you gotta check out! 2 thumbs up from this Yelper! Tips: *Shared parking lot w/other businesses. *Right next to Great Wolf Lodge. *You can purchase tokens through the front desk or they have machines where you can purchase tokens by some of the claw machines. read more

Def something I wouldn't come to on my own but my nine year old niece loves claw machines so we had to see what it was all about. From the outside it looks like a dive bar but the interior is a little dark but colorful and very simple/ to the point. You're there to play claw machine games. $20 for 22 tokens which is high but fair. You can easily spend 10 mins using all of them but I wanted to go further so we scoped out machines of what looked fun and also a good possibility to get a prize. The people who work here are super nice, we didn't get any prizes after at least 12+ tries and they helped us which was super nice. Pretty straight forward on why you come/ play here. Some people are experts with countless items and some have a few. Just fun to be had by all. read more

Such a fun time at Chibi Claws!! My friends and I came on a Saturday for a special event they hosted and got to spend some time playing the claw machines after. I haven't played in a while, but once I did it was such a rush!! As others said, the claws actually have a sturdy enough grip on them that allows you to more easily win prizes. Remember to aim for the body! I ended up winning 7 plushies that day! My friends also each won at least one or two, which I feel like is rare at other places like Round1. The place is very clean, easy parking, and all the plushies are so adorable. Shout out to Nick for helping us having such a great experience! Things to note - each game is 1 coin and it's 10 coins for $10! It's a steal! They also give you this giant string backpack for you to store all your prizes in, which is so fun and cute. Highly recommend for a fun friends trip, family outing or a date! read more

One-liner: Great claw arcade, beautiful venue, awesome trade ups, and fair payouts. Bring your kids or go for a date night here! I saw some reviews that mentioned rigged machines and dropping of the prize before bringing it to the chute, which I guess is somewhat true to a certain degree, but there are ways you can get good at navigating around that and I personally think it's all part of the experience of practice and getting skilled at things. I love this place and it was just the right amount of color and decorations that my daughter absolutely loved it. My wife was working so it was daddy/daughter time and I was looking for something to do. We came here because I had been a big claw game player years ago and took a break when my kids were born, but now I am starting back into it because I can have an excuse to win stuff for my kids now. I have been to a few different claw arcades but this one is definitely my favorite one so far, as the games are very doable and the workers are extremely nice, and the plushies are super cute. I actually didn't realize it until I got home but the worker who was helping us (and did not judge me for my video recording/one handed plays and eventual neck apparatus) turned out to be one of the owners. We spent about 45 min in the place and we won around 20 plushies, which my daughter used 6 to trade up for a cute Sanrio purse. The entire arcade is so well lit and pretty, and she loved taking photos everywhere. In fact, the first thing she did when we went in was run to the plushie wall and pose for a picture! We were pressed for time since we had to go meet my parents at the mall afterwards, but if we had more time, I am sure we would have spent many more hours here! Needless to say, I am 1000% coming back to Chibi Claws. read more

Chibi Claws is super cute and they have a good amount of claw machines! I think they switch out the plushies often depending on the rate of how quick the plushies are won. It's about $1 per play. If there's any plushies you win but don't like, you can trade them in at the counter. I love seeing people win! I've seen Sanrio, capybara, Chiikawa and other plushies here, so there's a variety of options, I recommend checking out Chibi Claws if you're in the area! read more

One of my child is obsessed with claw machine so we decided to stop by. There is a lot of variety of games that they invented through claw machines and had a lot of different plushes. Ranging from pokemon , hello kitty , kirby and many more. I also like how everything was 1 token to play. And the claw machines are of high quality and lets the kids win. Ive been to other claw machine places where it was very hard for my kids to win. We left with 4 bags full of plushes and the kids enjoyed it. Thank you! read more

Yay claw machines! Lots of soft plushies available to try your look at. Very clean place, still quite new, cute branding everywhere. You can even ask a staff to help you reposition a plush. My one feedback is it's dark inside aside from all the machine lights so without the door being open, I would have thought the place was closed. It doesn't feel as welcoming as it could be. The room vibe doesn't match all the cute plushies. read more

Best local claw machine in town! I love that you can trade in the plushies for credit to save and redeem a larger prize later. There's different stock every week and staff will reposition and help you win your prize. Don't be afraid to ask! There's also a five star reward system which pays out if you come often like me. You can also switch out any plushie in that same machine. I want to say the payout is every 4-5 tries; but if you got skills, chances are, you can make it payout more. The type of plushie varies. It could be lookalike anime, copycat Pokémon, or original characters. Sometimes you might get official licensed merch too. read more

Chibi Claws - 3 full bags is CRAZYYYYYY. DEFINITELY GO HERE. BEST CLAW MACHINE PLACE EVERRRR - Arcades Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I read the reviews before coming and there is definitely a reason this place deserves 5 stars. It was our first time coming here with our daughter and we had hopes to maybe win 1 or so for $20. The employee or owner, would walk around, watch us and make sure that we were actually winning. Like you know how other claw machine places purposely stuff the dolls so you can't win? This place is the opposite - he would go around and like place the doll for us and tell us where to aim so we could win. As soon as he came by and helped us, we won one immediately. We then proceeded to win like 4 more dollars for $20. And these are not cheap dolls. They have a winning formula here - I'm hoping they aren't losing money and I wish this place long and happy success. They made my daughter's day and we had such a blast. We will be coming back here whenever we are in the area (unfortunately, we are a little further out from here). But definitely made me come back to Yelp to write this review - great job. read more

This was a really cool spot to hang out with my cousins as they love playing claw machines. Reminiscent of my time in Japan. There's a lot of cute plush toys you can win. I wanted to write this review because we all had a such a good time. It was a small place but they made winning the claw machines so easily. It wasn't like those spots that would purposely rig you and take your money. You actually win here! They let you upgrade your plush toys as well here. If you eat at the restaurant next door you can get free coins as well! read more

An honest review for my recent visit: Staff/service 5/5 - Very friendly, happy to help, attentive and kind Facility 5/5 - Clean, fair amount of machines, good variety of plushies and prizes Claw Machines 2/5 - They definitely stock their machines on the lower end so the threshold to lift and carry the plushy to the Dropbox is much harder. The claws are quite loose and drop once lifted, some didn't even manage to grip the prize. I've been to many claw machine places, especially ones that you trade up for prizes. Some of them stock their plushies well and have a higher win rate and sell by volume of returning customers and some are basically plushie slot machines with high threshold for payoffs and difficult win rates. This place seems to be the latter. Would I come back? Quite frankly, no, unless I was with friends who were visiting or really wanted to gamble. Ultimately I gave them 4/5 stars because i'm not going to heavily penalize their loose claws due to claw Machines all having some aspect of gambling in them. However, to win my repeat business, I expect a place to have moderately higher win rates (most consumers want to feel good about their purchase and I unfortunately did not). Generally repeat customers are created from being satisfied with their overall experience, as much as I appreciate their kind staff, I can't say the same about their pay off rates. read more
