Still repeat customers since opening! Daniel and his wife are amazing and generous and go above and beyond to make sure your kids enjoy themselves and everyone has a good time. You are not just a dollar sign to them, they truly and genuinely want you to walk away winning prizes and they will always help you if you ask. I would hate for them to have to leave this area and they will very much be missed if they relocate, go and support small family businesses! Daniel has revamped the store to carry more merchandise from plushies to bags, many anime options, Sanrio characters, keychains, squishies and so much more, go check them out! read more

Went there on a Sunday for a YELP review. There were 3 other people. I was checking out the claw machine. And looked like they had a lot of nice prizes available... WALKED IN: Was greeted upon entry! But, no eye contact... I did feel a bit awkward in there. The other three people were looking at me and I was looking at them. Like, when are you going to play the claw machine kind of look? I'm here to YELP so I wondered why they didn't go for it... So I walked around towards the back of the store and I see a SELECTION of cute characters for purchase... KID FRIENDLY: A+ Kids would love this place!!! ADULT FRIENDLY: C+ VALUE: Great value of you win a prize at the claw machine! I was wondering where the SNACKS and DRINKS were but, that's alright. I felt happy fulfilling my Yelp duties... KEEP IT UP KAWAII HOUSE!!!! read more

If you're looking for a cute little arcade + shopping adventure in Murrieta, Kawaii House is SUCH a gem! It's tucked in a tiny plaza right next to Panda Express, and the parking is super convenient -- there's plenty of space so you don't have to circle forever. This place is absolutely adorable inside, with tons of claw machines full of plushies, anime figures, keychains, gacha machines, and fun collectibles that make your heart go . They also have snacks, drinks, and lots of cute merch to browse while you play! Hours: * Monday-Thursday & Sunday: 11:30 AM - 8:00 PM * Friday & Saturday: 11:30 AM - 9:00 PM These hours make it perfect for an after‑school stop, a weekend outing, or a fun date! Play Card / Ticket Tips: They use a play card system -- you load tickets/credits onto a card and then use it to play the machines. I recommend grabbing enough credits so you can play a few machines without having to reload right away! (It just makes it more fun & less stop‑start.) Pro tip: If you win something, staff are super friendly and happy to help you get your prize out of the machine or exchange it! What I LOVED: The customer service is AMAZING -- had the same sweet lady helping us both times, and she made the visit extra special. So many adorable prizes and anime figurines that are actually worth trying for! Cute shopping vibe, great for kids AND adults who love kawaii stuff! What could be better: One machine wasn't working the day we went -- kind of a bummer! A few machines sometimes have repeats of the same plushies if you've visited before. But honestly, still cute overall! If you're into claw machines, cute anime merch, and fun little hangouts, this place is an absolute must‑visit! read more

I visited Kawaii House during my trip, and this place was definitely kawaii! Hahaha... The young lady who worked there was friendly and helpful. She helped me get more plushies as I'm pretty bad at claw machines usually. I usually rely on my sister whenever we go to Round1. Lol... She told me when I bought my coins that if I didn't win a certain amount (I think 5 or 6 plushies) then please let her know so that she can help me. I ended up winning 1 or 2 on my own. Then she helped me by rearranging the plushies so that I can win. Thank you so much to my lovely lady who helped me! I didn't get her name, but thank you so much! The plushies are very cute! I got some Cinnamonroll, My Melody, and Kuromi plushies. Also, the pricing is a good value! If I'm in this area again, I would hit up this place for sure! :) read more

Kawaii house is a must! My nieces LOVE this place and so do we adults! Lol There is a wide selection of claw machines with different stuffed animal options.

They gave my nieces extra coins and even rearranged the stuffy's so that the girls could have more attempts at winning the stuffed animal.

Kawaii House - Family of plushies... - Hobby Shops Near Me - Murrieta, California

I don't even go to Round 1 anymore since I found this place! The shop owners are genuinely so nice and it's obvious they want their customers to have fun. I like how every time we go, we win at least 1-3 plushies from the claw games and I also really like the other machines they offer with surprise balls. This place even has a cute little corner to eat ramen Their other selections are cute as well, like the pins and the DIY slime with the charms. The last time I went with my younger sister, she actually left with a huge bag full of plushies, Pokémon cards, and squishes so it's totally possible to win here, unlike some places where it's a total scam lol The best spot to chill and have fun!! read more

Super cool place! Our kids loved it and had so much fun. For $25 we received 3 guaranteed prizes and 27 tokens for plenty of game play. The service was excellent on top of everything. We'll definitely come back and highly recommend others to check this place out! read more

This place was AMAZING!!! IF YOU'RE DECIDING WHETHER TO GO OR NOT JUST GOO!!! They have lots of claw machines that work flawlessly, and they aren't your average claw machine, they are so smooth and most importantly they can actually HOOK! I believe every claw machine is 1 token. $1 is 1 token. However they have bundles from $25, $50+ with different perks. My favorite is the $25 you get 25 tokens and a spin on their wheel for a chance to get more tokens or a gift! They also have a shop inside with lots of fun goodies for a super reasonable price. The best part is their service. The lady was so helpful!!! She gave us lots of tips and was nice enough to reshuffle the machines whenever we asked. The kindest and best service I've ever come across. Overall it was THE BEST experience! read more

A super cute place in the Murrieta/Temecula area to go with kids and spend about 30 mins to 1 hour on the claw machines or taking pictures in the Photo Booth. There are some small bites like noodles and canned/bottled drinks that you can purchase and eat at the tables inside. Really nice owners who helped my niece win a prize after her 3rd or 4th time trying at one machine. read more

Me and my wife stopped by Kawaii House, and it was our most positive claw machine experience ever! The worker Claudia was incredibly informative and helpful even helping us earn some plushies when we were struggling. The store itself is super transparent on the rigged nature of claw machines and how to get the best of them! In addition they have some vending machines (with things like pokemon cards) if you want a guaranteed prize. Even then, Claudia was giving us pointers on the games which turned the $20 we spent into 3 plushies! We definitely would have left with nothing if not for her. There is no other claw machine place that is this generous or honest about their practice, and the claw machines are just one of many things to get and do here! We would 100% recommend this place! read more

My daughter only wanted to come here for her birthday she could have chosen anywhere else but just loves this place. Her sister and her came home with a good amount of plushies and the owner is sooo nice and helped them win when they were struggling. Coming back tonight for my other daughter's birthday.Love this place and the plushies are so cute!!! 5 stars read more

Very fun for family. Everyone enjoys it. I would recognize place to everyone to come and have fun

Such a cute shop! The owner is such a nice guy, very helpful! The claw machines are fun and all are only 1 token. I thought I was going to have to run to the ATM, but the owner lets you buy the tokens from him which was a relief, because I didn't want to have to pay a ATM fee. They have a little Photo Booth area, an area with different flavors of ramen that you can purchase and eat there and tons of trinkets for purchase. Will definitely be back. read more

This place was really cool! We purchased $25 in tokens and got a free spin on the wheel to win more free tokens. The person working gave us tips and tricks for each machine and he was very nice. He made our experience so much more fun. Once we used all our tokens he even gave us extra tokens to make sure both my boys went home winning a stuffed animal. They also had the ramen that my son loves so we will make sure to come here to get his ramen and play some fun games! I also saw pens and school supplies and the person working mentioned that they will be getting back packs next month so this will definitely be part of our back to school shopping stops. Thank you so much for a great time! read more

cute store, employee seemed nice, but went looking for smiskis and saw the highest prices i've seen. smiski hippers and the sunday series were $27.99. the sonny angels were in the $30-$40 range. you've been warned! read more

Kawaii House is so cute and wonderful :') My girlfriend and I went today and we LOVED it. We spent $25 for the extra tokens and a wheelspin and probably spent around an hour looking at the stuffed animals and playing the claw machines. The owner was very kind and helped us out and gave us tips on how to win the claw machines and we ended up going home with a really cute stuffed pineapple Sanrio character! We had a lot of fun and it was a lovely experience we intend to come again in the future!! There is a really cute dog stuffed animal that I have my eye on for next time The ambience is so lovely. The art on the machines and the layout of the arcade is so cute. and the MUSIC. They play this really pretty piano song and it makes me wanna cry tears of happiness from how sweet it is. Kawaii House is a lovely escape from real life. I think it is something truly beautiful. I can't wait to come here again and fill my stamp card. Our trip to kawaii house was so lovely and we had lots of fun. We love you Kawaii House p.s. if you get the bonus wheel spins know that the wheel gives extra tokens! We had assumed that the numbers corresponded to a fun lil prizes so when we got 5 we went "oooo. what is five?" and it was 5 extra tokens :3. Still fun just wasn't what we expected tehe. I have only praise for Kawaii House. read more

Hands down the best service EVER. The nice man at the register was so nice and patient with our kids, he helped us out when he saw my daughter was struggling, resetting certain plushies so they were easier to grab. Made sure each kid walked away with at least 1 toy. Very generous with the free spins to win more tokens. Also has a system that allows you to trade your smaller toys for a bigger one at the end. Will be back! read more

Kawaii House is one of the funnest places I've ever been to. They have fun arcade games where you can win prizes, as well as buy them. They have a wide selection of games to choose from, and the prizes are very cute. The staff is incredibly nice, and made a great time and even greater time. The value is well worth the money. The business owners' daughter Valerie is very kind and has such an amazing work ethic at such a young age. I highly recommend!!!!!!!! read more

Stumbled across the most adorable family-owned shop specializing in all sorts of fun claw games and machines, and all sorts of Asian Kawaii-themed merchandise in the back of the store, in a plaza where I least expected it. I'm so glad I went inside to check it out! Clean and well-decorated and just leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy on the inside. I didn't get a chance to play any of the games because I was on a short lunch break from work, but their merchandise collection in the back is delightful. I think kids and lovers of cute and charming goodies will love this place, and I personally had to stop myself from breaking my wallet and buying all the plushies (they had so many boba plushies and Pokemon like a dragonite plushie) and wall scrolls (found one of the Eeveelutions that I loved)! Great place for gifts and finding all sorts of adorable things you didn't know you needed or wanted. Prices are reasonable. The owners here are very kind as well which is the cherry on top. Can't wait to come back here! read more

The girl working here is actually a doll. She was so sweet and the store was clean! It was a great experience read more

The owners are very friendly! I recommend checking this place out if you and company love playing crane machine games. It's a small place, but my kiddos still had fun there. They seem to guarantee a win based on how much you spend. We spent around $50 and stayed there for maybe around 30 min. read more

My husband and I visited Kawaii House during our anniversary trip to Temecula as I was looking for a fun place with nice claw machines. We were happy to find out that it's family owned and the owners are locals. Owner chatted with us and wanted to make sure we were having a good experience. She helped reposition the plush I was trying to win and I was able to eventually win it. They sell a nice selection of collectibles and merch imported from Japan, from blind boxes and figures to plushies, bags, keychains, and pins. They had characters from anime, Sanrio, Kirby, Pusheen, Pokémon, and more. I was excited to see blind boxes for Rilakkuma and Sumikko Gurashi and nabbed some to add to my collection :). Definitely worth coming by for some fun! We'll remember to stop by when we are visiting the Temecula/Murrieta area. read more

Go here instead of Round1!! Mel was super nice and didn't let us leave empty handed. They have a nice selection of machines with medium sized plushies and a few small ones. She said they also have a Conway location so we'll be checking it out :) read more
