    Playing games
    Jaden B.

    Super fun! We got a Groupon for this place so decided to check it out. You do blow through your money pretty quickly (to be expected with this kind of experience) but they guarantee a win for every $10 spent so still not a bad deal! We used our Groupon and ended up deciding to buy $10 more in tokens- my 12 year old won three prizes and gave them all to his younger sister () who was over the moon! We are from New Hampshire and don't have anything like this at home as far as I know, so was a really cool experience for them. The place is clean and well kept, and the employee was very patient explaining to us how things worked there. We'd come back for sure!

    Winner!

    Claw games are our new fun thing to do as a family. My wife pays for the coin tokens, my daughters play the games, and I carry their winning prizes in a bag. Everyone has a good time and it's not as expensive as other arcades. This location in the Buena Park mall is very nearby the dinner shows and theme park. Parking is free and easy to find. The mall has great options to eat and shop. The claw store was spacious and clean. The games are fair in price and also in payouts. We liked how we can trade up our winnings for a larger stuffed animal. Overall, we will return here when doing our next Anaheim trip.

    Such a Fun Spot for Kids and Families! This place is super fun and perfect for a weekend outing with kids. The claw machines are not only exciting but also surprisingly easy to win--my kids had a blast and even brought home some prizes! Definitely a great spot to create happy memories together. Highly recommend for a quick and joyful family activity!

    Horrible closed !!!!! Waited 1 hr to open

    horrible experience first time coming for my daughter's birthday it says on google. they open at 10 come in. it's closed. i figured they are in lunch or break. they will be back according to sign waited an hour not open. unprofessional will not recommend this place ever a waste of time

    STAY AWAY!!! DO NOT GO HERE!! Don't waste ur money!! 1000000% not worth it!!! Such a trap! The minute the claws go up with the item you think you won it drops it, every single time. Many people walking around with 0 prizes that should have won. They have signs posted if you spend $20 & don't get a prize they'll give you 1.. Yea because your going to spend $20 & not win anything cause the claws are all rigged. Over hyped will NEVER be back. It took 20 coins to win this cat. Go anywhere else. Whoever owns this place shame on u!

    Claw machine counter with upgrade plushies behind it, and claw machine arcades on the sides.

    This place is a trap for claw machine lovers. Lots of cute popular plushies like pikachu, Kirby, eevee, Sanrio characters, etc. and it's $1 for one coin/attempt and checking into yelp gives you 2 coins/attempts for free. My only note is that the plushies aren't legit. But as long as you know what you're getting into, the claws are strong and the plushies are real cute so I think it's worth it (depending on your skill / luck of course). There's a way to trade in plushies for larger more unique ones behind the counter, but we're fine with what we catch. We don't go to the Buena Park mall very often, but when we do we're definitely stopping by here!

    Good place for some family fun'! Free parking and well located. Vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff. The machines have super cute toys. I would only recommend you go early in the day to make sure the machines are fully stocked!

    My haul

    From my experiences with claw machines, I always thought that they were a legal scam. This place changed my perspective on that. I had a lot of fun, I won a bunch of plushies, and the staff was helpful when I was struggling with a given machine. They also allow you to make trades of small plushies for some really awesome larger plushies! Playing and winning definitely boosts the serotonin. I'd recommend the experience here!

    Prizes are very sparse and heavy while the claws are super weak. Regardless of how you grab it, the claw drops the prizes.

Turns out, John's Incredible Pizza exceeded my expectations! This place *sorta* reminds me of a kid Souplantation, just sub out the soups for pizza (& note the fact that Souplantation is much neater and slightly more elevated foods). There's a fully loaded salad bar with your choice of greens and corn, peas, carrots, and toppings+ (too many to remember). There's a pasta bar, sauteed veggies with sausage, quinoa and potato salad, a couple of soups, LOADS of pizza flavors, a fully loaded dessert bar, and ICEE/soda drinks. And my favorite--self-serve, soft serve. The taste reminds me of Souplantation or McDonald's soft serve. There are several uniquely-themed dining areas all equipped with long tables great for groups. It can get a bit crazy, and sometimes piles of dishes can accumulate quicker than workers bussing tables. Also, what sets this place apart is that there is a whole play area for video games, little rides, and claw machines. Kids go bananas here--getting out their energy--and coming back to the food area and tables to eat more. It's a cycle. We came because my kid & a bunch of schoolmates received John's Incredible Pizza certificates from school. We had loads of fun. We'd all come back and do it again!

The place has been around quite some time and kids do tend to make a mess, but they keep up after it. Parking is for a fee, but sometimes you get a game card that comes with the parking. It can get crowded in the summer and on weekends. We go on week days and have been several times. Now, the prices in here add up fast so be mindful of that, but it is the same as other similar places. Miniature golf is about 16$, a go kart is about 12$, the arcade can really add up so get a card that you can use for the wide variety of games they have. The bumper boats and Disk Thrill Ride are about 12$ per person. We love their little train and that is about 5$. You can get a two hour wrist band and we do that and save a lot that way. All in all the prices are fair. The service there is nice and the place has a lot to offer, you don't have to do it all. There is a lot to do. They also have Birthday Parties there and that is great. It is super fun.

However, most employees were cleaning in some way which was a good sign. It did feel a little more fresh and clean at this location than other ones. The entrance was interesting because I'm used to just entering the doors and immediately being inside the arcade, but you have to enter through the dilapidated Lakewood Center mall first, and then take escalators up to Round1. It's also a little hectic coming here, because it's right next to Costco. There were an adequate amount of machines, but it definitely seemed smaller than the other locations I visited in LA. However, the skill games and payout rates were very reasonable and fair, and I made out quite well! I won my first Getter Spin game here because the speed was pretty good. You do have to cherry pick a bit, as some of the popular or newer prizes were behind cheese wheels.

Prices have definitely been going up and prizes are harder to get (recession indicator fr), so I admittedly have started playing less. I only come when I need to blow off some steam or there's a prize I really want. Round 1 has an AMAZING selection of plushies During my last visit, I had some great encounters with a couple of the workers! I had some issues regarding the app and connecting my card, and one of the managers stationed at the bowling area was super nice and walked me through connecting a new card and ensuring I got my points for it! Oddly enough, they felt very well-staffed for a Wednesday, and there was plenty of staff on the floor that day to help me reset a couple of times, whenever the token plush dropped out of claw's reach. There was one worker who came right when I needed him and helped reset the token back within claw's reach. I got my usahana that night!!! I wish I remembered their names so I could shout them out! They really made my night after a rough day.

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.
