    This is an arcade on Main St in Alhambra. There was a variety of different plushies and each one was one token! There's only one worker but she attended to everyone's needs! Just be patient since there's only one worker! Value was good! It's mostly $1 is 1 token. TIP: Parking is mostly nearby as public parking. There's no restrooms in this store. Check in on Yelp to get 2 FREE tokens!

    My first ever happened in this place! Excellent service, fantastic staff, and good-quality plushies. For $1 per coin, which is the cost for a machine that requires one coin, it is definitely a good value. Free 4-hour parking is available at the nearby parking structures.

    As somebody who was born in the 80s, I love this place! Music is always good! Stuffed animals are always so cute. I'm addicted! All the workers are always so awesome and friendly too! We come multiple times a week and it's always worth it! You can also trade in for other toys/stuffed animals they have

    I always find it difficult to review businesses that truly blow me away. However, I'm always compelled and feel it is my duty to let the world know how great they are because I want to make sure they stick around for a long time. That is the case today with the Kuwaii Klaws location on Main St. in Alhambra. I came across Kuwaii Klaws a few months ago while waiting for a table for a restaurant a block down. I knew I had some time to kill so we strolled down to the shop to try our luck with the claw machines. The shop was well kept, well stocked and the staff went above and beyond to make my child feel welcome. It was such a fun experience and when we noticed the "we do birthday parties" sign my child instantly knew this would be a top contender for venue. Well 3 months later Kuwaii Klaws was still on my kids mind and I reached out to the shop to get the specifics. The whole process was incredibly smooth, the owner was kind and so accommodating. The venue had party space, chairs and tables were included in the package and the option of renting out the shop for an additional fee was available. To me, pricing was very reasonable for what was included. On the day of the party all the staff at Kuwaii Klaws once again hit it out of the park...special shout out to Rigby who was extra amazing with the kids! I don't think people realize how rare great customer service is these days; Kuwaii Klaws is a shining example of that. This is a business I want to give my money to. Thank you to everyone at Kuwaii Klaws for going above and beyond and making your guests smile...you guys rock! So if you're looking for a great place for a birthday party or just a fun afternoon out with the fam, this is definitely the place to go. Until next time Kuwaii!

    Similar to the Kawaii Klaws that I'm familiar with in West Covina, but definitely a bit more compact and smaller. I think they were still setting up some of the machines since some of them didn't have the power on or prizes inside. I came here on a random weekday afternoon and I was the only guest there but I'm sure things change in the evening or maybe right after school since it's within walking distance of a high school. Like the other locations I've been to, there's a plushie photo op wall in the back. The variety seems to be a bit more limited than the other locations (probably due to size of the store and still setting up), but there's something there for all cute character enjoyers I'm sure. I like the obviously unofficial Despicable Me Mofusand collaboration plushies. But I would love to see Chiikawa abominations as well. $1 per play isn't too bad since it is QUITE possible to win from their crane games and they have an exchange up system as well if you win multiple. Worker there greeted me when I came in and was polite too.

    Great staff!

    My kids love coming here! What little girl wouldn't! The machines are fairly cheap and we always walk out with something the girls won. Staff is super friendly(I forgot her unique name) and very helpful, she was very nice to my kids and stroke conversations. We shall be back!

    I won these quality plushies. It's really $1 or 1 coin per try. Such amazing staff John and Rigby and clean safe place. Great stress buster . I see people come here and win some cute stuff toys .

    Too happy

    Came a few times due to my daughters addiction to not only the stuffies but she likes putting the coins in the machines -__-" . We like to come after we walk around the farmers market on Sundays. Out of all the claw machine places we've been to, this location seems the easiest to get dolls!! Believe it or not my nephews got over 15 the last time they went and my husband got a few too. I know some of the other reviews say it's rigged but compared to like Round 1, this kawaii Klaws is way better ! Plus side is, all the plushies are so darn cute! They also have an upgrade program where you can upgrade like 8 plushies for a huge one which we opted to do so our house isn't cluttered with infinite small ones. Something to consider! Alexis is super nice and helpful ! I believe the owner is Adam, he introduced himself to us when they first opened and he was very honest with how everything worked. He even gave my daughter an extra coin! Word on the street is, if you sing the Pokémon theme song to him, he might give you a free coin! we found out he's a huge fan of Pokémon (hence some of the plushies) worth a try right ! I think overall the value is amazing. We always have a great time when we come. My daughter lights up every time she enters the place. It's a good place to kill time when waiting in line for boiling crab or gen bbq which is what we do too Definitely coming back and highly recommend

    Fun place. Spent 20 dollars. Each game is one token . I got 3 plushies . Great prices for each machine . It also has a cute little bench to take pictures

    The experience was standard and on par with other Kawaii Klaw locations. The customer service was friendly. The selection of games was similar size and options as other Kawaii Klaw locations. The value is also similar and affordable, it's best to purchase more credits to get the best value. The only downside of this location is the parking, it can be difficult to find nearby parking. But the street is nice and you can make a day of it by walking around to other locations.

The staff were very friendly. You definitely feel the 80s/90s nostalgia with the games and decor. They have pinball, video games, driving games.... Including all of the classics like Pac-Man and donkey kong. A/C was definitely on, so it's a great place to best the heat. Plenty of hand sanitizer bottles available and the bathroom was clean. There are also a small selections of snacks and drinks available for sale.

    Neon Retro Arcade is an Old Town/Old Pasadena must…read more It's a kid friendly hub, but just as fun for adults if not more. Open daily from Noon til 10pm, 7 days a week. Everything is set to free play with a paid admission fee. You can do hourly pay or a set price for all day play. There's probably about 60 different arcade style games ranging in many decades including 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s favorites. Pinball, Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat, Marvel Vs Capcom (my jam), Super Smash Bros, Basketball Pro, Pac Man, NFL Blitz, Rampage (arcade game of my youth), Donkey Kong, Tron, The Simpsons and so many others. Soft drinks, great lighting, a spacious layout. Neon Retro offers cool holiday deals and specials, hosts fun events, IG giveaways and keeps the fun going all year long. It's still only $15 for unlimited hourly play or $25 for a day pass. No food is served here other than snacks (think chips and candy), but so many places closeby to eat before or after your Neon Retro Arcade fun!! It's not a barcade like EightyTwo or Player One so it's alcohol free. They're all welcoming and very personable. I do know they have a capacity limit and weekend tend to be the busiest until around 4 or 5 pm. Nights and weekends are definitely lower in foot traffic, but still great energy. I don't make it over too often, but highly recommend experiencing once or thrice. They just had a cool 50% off hourly prices for Bonus Level Loyalty Club members, and yes it's free to be a member :) Local street (meter), paid lot and garage parking available. Gender-neutral restrooms. Great for groups or just you.

    Let me preface my reface my review, I am a professional mini…read moregolfer, I've been to hundreds if not thousands of courses over the years, in every area I've ever traveled in, in most of America. And this takes the cake as my all time favorite. The courses have great holes, with a large variety of simple classic style holes. But the place really shines in decor and atmosphere. It really leans into a more vintage vibe, considering this place is nearly 60 years old the grounds are immaculate, which is unheard of anywhere near LA. Amazing buildings and hedge arches dot the real turfed landscape. Vintage music plays out of old megaphones. Did I mention the place is massive? The parking lot holds maybe 400 cars, but expect it to be nearly full. It has vintage bumper boats, an arcade and 4 18 hole courses. Pricing is fair, 16.50 a person, and parking prices can vary but are usually free. Whoever maintains the grounds needs a serious raise, everything here is just perfect! COME AT NIGHT. This place really shines at night, when everything is lit up it is truly magical. One of the best in the nation, don't miss.

    We came here for an event and I have to say, I was impressed with how well maintained this business…read moreis, especially when you consider some of the facilities are original to when they opened over 55 years ago. All the buildings, obstacles, decor and equipment were clean and well maintained and the water features all had fresh, clean water flowing through them, no signs of algae or stagnation anywhere. There were a few signs of aging around some of the cups and on some of the putting surfaces, but it is to be expected. I really wanted to score a 4.5, but gave it the full five because the mini-golf courses were so well-maintained. (Since we were there for a benefit and didn't pay admission, I cannot comment on the pricing or the relative value.)
