    Such a fun place! We had an amazing time playing the claw machines and actually winning some really cute stuffed animals. there are so many different ones to choose from. The whole place has a fun, clean, and welcoming environment, and the staff was very nice. It's definitely kid-friendly and a great place to bring the family, but honestly, it would be super cute for a date night too! We had such a good time and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

    I come here once a week or tbh even 5 times a week before lol. I have brought over 15 friends here and they all love it here. Joe is an amazing staff, he's one of the reason we come back. Thank you Joe for making our time there great.

    We stumbled upon this spot completely by chance and were so excited to find out it was having its soft opening! The owner was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, which made the visit even better. Honestly, we had one of the absolute best experiences we've ever had at an arcade. The setup is amazing with a huge variety of claw machines, and the prizes are super cute. Unlike other arcade places where the machines feel impossible to beat, these were actually fair and incredibly fun to play. Never have we ever walked away winning so many awesome items! We are already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend checking them out!

    Stumbled upon this new claw machine arcade that's in their soft opening phase, and we are so happy it's right on Bolsa! It's right inside the Viland/Wells Fargo plaza, right behind THH. There's plenty of parking on that side and we've come here a few times after lunch or dinner. Their trade up system is soooo good and fair! Usually my kids and I suck lol, we usually only win about 4-5 prizes for every $100 that we spend. LOL but here, we actually won 26!!! So my kid traded up for a SKULLPANDA blind box! And another XXL plushie. They were in heaven and been asking to come back. We notice they have tons of Pokémon, Sanrio, popmart blind boxes, and now even Needohs and squishes. IYKYK There's also a mini fridge and we got a free drink for spending $100, lattes and kawaii sodas/Ramune. Will definitely be back

    Finally, a conveniently located claw machine shop. Super reasonable prices and the plushies are actually adorable. Staff was super kind in repositioning the larger plushies for easier grab. Tons of claw machines with 1-3 coins needed to play. It's quite easy to win, was able to get tons of plushies for ~$60 worth of coins. And at the end, you can exchange your plushies for the XXL plushies. Don't know of any other shops that does this. Definitely a place where I'd even go by myself to play. Welcoming, safe feeling environment. Theres also an ATM + coffee fridge. -Location: in Viland plaza, lots of parking surprisingly on a Sunday -Cards accepted but with $1 surcharge -They offer baskets to carry your plushies during in-store play but bring your own bag to carry plushies home -party rentals + in-store party packages offered

    PS5 raffle!!!

    Dragon Claw is so fun and family oriented. Every time I come with my family we have the greatest time. Best spot in OC to get food and get some plushies while you're at it. Dragon Claw!!!!

    THIS PLACE IS THE BEST!!! brought 6 kids here and the staff is seriously so kind and helpful so everyone wins! We won over 40 plushies and they got to trade up for some large plushies!!! Definitely would recommend!!!

    My 4 year old had the best time here. He is addicted to claw machines so coming to Dragon Claw was everything he could have wished for. We bought the back to school deal. It was such a great deal that we were able to still come home with a big stuffy and have more coins to come back with next time. We will definitely be returningz

    Vanessa M.

    The owner was so kind to my family and I. They really want the kids to win something, no matter what. They are all for seeing the kids happy. We had so much fun. There's a lot of plushies to choose from! My family and I will definitely be back.

    Prizes!
    Holly M.

    Friendly staff. Great prices & prizes!! Specials now since their grand opening just passed. We came at 2p on a weekday and no crowds at all. Highly recommend a visit, especially if you're looking for a fun activity to do with your kiddo in the summer!!

    Took the kids here a couple times, and they had cute options. Nice thing is they had different options each time. The staff is very helpful with switching out stuffies in the same machine. We will be back when we're looking for a fun activity for the kids.

    This is our third time coming here, and my son absolutely loves it! Kqte & joseph is so kind and welcoming. Every time we visit, we have a wonderful experience. They have free water for us. We always leave happy and look forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

    I don't know how this place doesn't have many more reviews but this is such a cute spot to take…read morekids or even a date to if they're into all these cute stuffed animals! 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.

    I've been to this places' Alhambra location, however that one pales in size next to Westminster's…read morelocation. 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!

They have over 100 games, just as much as, if not more than, your local Chucke cheese. You can host parties or just come on a casual day and have a blast. It does get packed but is not crazy packed; it's still really fun. Price point is the best selling point of the arcade; you pay in nickels exactly what the name implies. Most games cost about 5 nickels at most, which is about a quarter per game. You can order quarters in bulk, 3, 5, 9, or 10$. It is a baggie filled with nickels for whatever price point you decide to buy. You can also request additional baggies to separate your coins between People or baggies for your tickets. Admission is about $2 per person to get in, but it is not expensive at all. With $20, the four of us spent a good 1 hour and 30 minutes having fun. We were also able to get some really cool prizes at the end. My kids loved it, and although it is a drive for us from the San Fernando Valley, we will be making this trip very often because it is so worth it. Highly recommend this arcade spot.

The claw machines are super fun and stocked with great prizes - from Pokémon plushies to South Park characters (you can even rip off Kenny's head! "OMG, they killed Kenny! You bastards!"). A wide variety of prizes, so something for everyone. Next time you're in Garden Grove and want something fun to do, stop by Oki Doki Cranes!

I was worried they may not be able to accommodate, but they were happy to take us. We had a lot of first time bowlers (kids and adults alike), and they had lots of questions, requests, etc. Again, the staff handled it like pros. Their snack bar was well stocked, and they have a handful of arcade machines. The place is modern and clean, from the floors to the restrooms, and there's seating in the rear with a pool table and a room for birthday parties and such.
