    Claw Mania Kindgom. Next to ROYCE' Chocolates
    Helene S.

    Ohhhh, the clawwww!! The claw is our master. The claw chooses who will go and who will stay. - Toy Story. Cute shop next to ROYCE' Chocolates. Although I didn't "invest" in any tokens, it was nice for a quick stop. Lots of parking available on a Tuesday night in the H-Mart parking lot.

    Amazing experience Close to $1 per token and majority of the machines are 1 token per play. The family had a great time especially winning 2 of machines played. A must stop whilst in Chinatown and we will come back

    This was my first time trying something like this as an adult. When I was a child, I participated in similar activities but never had any luck winning prizes. However, this Valentine's Day was different! Upon entering the establishment with my lady, I was thrilled to leave with not just one, but two adorable plushies. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming; the staff took the time to explain how everything worked in a clear and concise manner, taking no more than five minutes to walk us through the process. I was curious about how many tokens I would need to purchase in order to even have a shot at winning a plushy. The staff member assured me that I wouldn't need to spend a fortune, which was a relief considering I was already investing quite a bit for the occasion. Overall, we had a fantastic experience filled with excitement and nostalgia. I left feeling satisfied and eager to return for another round. I highly encourage others to give it a try--it's a fun way to relive childhood memories and create new ones!

    My teens liked it here very much. We have been a few times and it can get very crowded, but most patrons are courteous. Very clean every time we've been. A dollar per claw machine, some were set loose but some were easy with many unisex toys. Bags are provided free or charge and can trade items at front desk for different prizes.

    What a fun experience! We visited for the first time last weekend and it was a big hit for the entire family! The employees were very nice and explained everything thoroughly. The establishment was well kept and clean. If ever in the area it's definitely worth a visit!

    The dopamine hit each time you actually get something is crazy. The highs are high but the lows are low and can be frustrating but that's just the name of the game haha. Good way to kill time and you can trade the dolls in for other prizes. We got these labubu things but later realized it's probably fake haha.

    Lots of easy wins and a great time with friends!

    Staff is super friendly and helpful! Lots of great prizes to win! Be ready to take bags of stuffed animals home! They have a great exchange program to win bigger prizes!

    This is my favorite claw machine place. I look forward to stopping by when I'm in Chinatown area, allows me to relieve stress by plucking up some cute plushies. The staff are super friendly, every claw machine is $1 per play. Token exchange rate is great $1 = 1 token. If you don't like your plushies, you can trade them in for points, give you a chance to play up to a bigger plushie and other fun prizes. I finally saved up 20 points for this cute Hello Kitty!

    LOVE this place. Was waiting in line for Hongdae 33 which is the KBBQ place next door and they had an hour long wait. Decided to go in here to kill some time and it was so fun! It really easy to win prizes and the employees refill the machines constantly so you always have a chance to win. They give you a clear little bag to throw all ur stuffed animals in and once you collect enough you can turn them in to exchange for a bigger prize. Like I said we were only in for an hour but between three people we still won almost 10 stuffed animals! Only small issue is that it's obvious that some of the machines have a shorter timer to play than others.

    Such a fun place to go and have fun! Love winning all the fun stuffies. Claw machines are pretty easy to win and some of them can get tricky but you usually can get a good win or several stuffies to add to your haul!

    This was a fun place to be at with family. Will visit again. We had a a lot of fun. If you're into claw machines, this place is a dream come true. Walls lined with all kinds of machines -- from classic plush toys to high-end prizes like headphones and mini consoles. The atmosphere is fun and colorful, with bright lights, cheerful music, and a steady stream of people cheering (or groaning) as they try their luck. The machines are well-maintained, and many actually feel winnable, which is rare. Staff were friendly and quick to help if a prize got stuck. They also restock regularly, so you're not stuck clawing at half-empty bins. Only downside? It can get crowded during peak hours, and you can burn through credits quickly if you're not careful. Still, it's a fun, slightly addictive way to spend an hour or two -- especially if you walk out with a big plush in your arms.

    Fun place to spend some money. They have 2 machines where you can pay for tokens or you can go to the counter. A play cost $1 so it's cheap if you're good at claw games but expensive if you're not and you get addicted. The more you spend, the more extra tokens you get. I also like how you can trade in your plushies for bigger/better plushies. Took my kids and spent $20 and had fun. Not too busy on a Monday night but the place is small so I can see it getting tight. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    Tracy D.

    It's upstairs on top of kungfu tea. It's small, but the plushies are cute and quality. Each machine is 1 coin to play and 1 coin is $1 dollar. You can also ask the staff to fluff up the plushie if it looks cramped which makes it hard for claw machine to grab. Overall, this would be 5 stars if the space was bigger.

    I might just have to do a national barcade tour. We were here on Sunday afternoon, so there were…read morepeople everywhere, but I still had a blast. This place serves food, drinks, and has plenty of games! You can either buy your tickets in person or online beforehand. It's $12 for entry and you can stay as long as you want and come and go with unlimited game access. From what I can tell, some days have specials. Only additional purchases are food and drinks, obviously. They have pizzas, quesadillas, salads, dessert pizzas, and pizza burritos. I tried that last thing because I had never heard of it -- think of it as like a glorified hot pocket. It was delicious! I had a salad to balance things out, and I'll surprised by how hefty it was! Since I had never had their cider before, I decided to do a flight of five. When I placed my order, I was expecting them to give me a tray of five 1 oz pours... But instead, they told me the flight will consist of five 5 oz cups.... WHOA. So I grabbed the first two and had to come back for the rest after I finished. Every single one was delicious, but I really liked the mango habanero and the one with the coconut. Now, the games... I rarely come to a barcade that has TWO Guitar Hero setups. And they had plenty of classic cabinets, air hockey, Mario Kart, shooting games... Claw machines... It was quite epic. By the way, the claw machines did cost extra, and I peeped a party room in the back that had those interactive team floor games! That would be fun to reserve for a special occasion. This place really impressed me. If you enjoy games in a bar setting, I would recommend this spot if you are in the Houston area.

I've been there with a group of adults and also with a group of kids, and just note that while it's totally fine (and very fun!) for kids, it's probably better for adults--there's no kid security check-in at the front, and the building is very big, with lots of games. We ordered a pizza from a touchscreen by a food window, and the pizza was actually pretty good, much better than I was expecting at an arcade. The downside was that, in the lunch rush, it took 30-40 minutes for that one pizza to come out, though you could tell they were individually making each item in the big pizza oven. If you want drinks, you separately order those at the front, near where you check in, which is a little odd to have two separate food/drink ordering spots. When we walked in, we paid for a wristband, which gave "free" access to all of the arcade games, except for the claw machines, which required you to buy an extra card.

There are numerous signs clearly displayed letting people know it is not in fact an arcade. Even the company's voicemail message makes it clear. Joystix Classic Games & Pinballs is actually a working showroom that opens once a month for Pac-Man Fever Night, when every game is set to free play. It's one of the most fun and unique experiences in Houston. We hosted my wife's birthday party here, and it was fantastic. Renting the space was simple, the staff was awesome, and having the 1820 Lounge next door made it the perfect setup for a group celebration. Everyone had an amazing time. I highly recommend booking the showroom for events, you will not be disappointed. The owner is Charlie, he is outstanding. He is friendly, passionate, and deeply knowledgeable about pinball and arcade history. You can tell he truly cares about preserving the hobby and sharing it with others. He takes care of his customers and is very courteous to those who are considering a purchase. If you love pinball, classic arcades, or just want to do something different, Joystix is a must-visit Houston gem.

It is a bunch of computers with a gaming headset, keyboard, and mouse. We had to ask a bunch of questions and ultimately decided on a hour of play. Let me first state I am not a gamer so this review is based on my non-gaming perspective. We selected two computers but one was not working so we had to shift so we could be next to each other. We chose our computer and had to setup our accounts, I think that took away from our hour. My kid wanted to play Fortnite and it took a while to login and get started but we were able to use accounts that were licensed from the store or you could use your own. I decided to switch to Among Us about half way in and the chat was LOUD. I used the sound key on the keyboard but it barely changed a thing, there was no volume control on the headset so I took it off. After 2.5 rounds my time was up so I just waited for my child to finish. As we were leaving a noticed the once 25% full place was about at 75% so it can fill up quickly and we went on a Sunday afternoon. Would I go back, maybe but bring a jacket, it was freezing.

Hey, not bad for a 10 series card graphics computer set. Though would be nice as well and I wish, if you have the space and area to dedicate to have some people bring their own setups and stuff. ::Pros:: + Nice, cozy gaming environment + Computers are solid, and the fact that you have old-school arcade stuff is a bonus + Rates are comfy with bonus times on 7 dollars on an hour charge, and the further you seem to get to it, the more discounted it gets. ::Cons:: - Nothing much really, but just watch out and inform the guy in front if your computer crashes (it's a ggleap thing). He'll happily help you oit.
