    Got a Groupon to try and found this place in an eerily deserted mall with most of it's stores closed. Lots of machines to try and some are pretty easy so you'll be able to win something in maybe 5 tries but still not really worth the price even with a Groupon.

    Went again a few weeks ago because I had to use my Groupon. the staff is still very rude and condescending. Will not be returning back after this (as a long time customer)

    Winnings from $20 in tokens

    Had a five star experience with their Buena Park location, so I stopped by this location at the Westminster mall as I had an hour to kill. Overall, I think it's fun. Won five plushies with my $20 (see pictures for my haul). With yelp check in, ended up getting 24 tokens for $20 (normal rate is 22 tokens for $20 and 2 bonus tokens for check in). They do give an extra three tokens if you write a review. I didn't try take advantage of this offer, but this is why there's the yelp warning for "suspicious reviews". Compared to my experience at the other locations, the difference was that employees felt more helpful elsewhere. Your miles will likely vary with talking to staff and asking for help. If you really want to come home with plushies, then you'll have to choose your machines wisely. There was a batman and pikachu plush that I liked, but I left behind. If you get too emotional and you go for plushies that are packed in deep, then you'll just get frustrated. Two important notes: 1) The quality of the plushies are nice, but they do not appear to be official licensed products. (If you look at the picture of my haul, you'll see the blue hello kitty plush has "helle kitty" written on its foot). I'm fine with this as my main priority was to have fun; however, it's relevant to note. 2) If you cherry pick for easy plushies, you could trade them in for larger plushies that are positioned behind the front counter. There are some impressively large plushies that you could trade for 3-20 smaller ones. This offer is only good for things that are won during your current visit.

    Kawaii Klaws is located inside the Westminster Mall. My sister and I came when the mall was closed at 7pm, but Kawaii Klaws stays open till 8:30pm on weeknights. The mall entrance by Luxe buffet stays open for you to go to Kawaii Klaws. They have a TON of machines! All the plushies are super adorable. It seems all the machine is 1 token and 1 token is $1! Pretty good deal. If you check in on yelp, it's 2 free tokens. They have token machines throughout the place, but it only takes exact cash. You can purchase tokens with card at the counter. My sister and I had a ton of fun and we both got plushies! Would definitely come back.

    We were in town visiting some friends and I saw this place on my IG feed. We wanted to take the kids to play but I think the adults ended up enjoying it more lol. Anyways this place was pretty kool but walking thru the mall to get to the place was sad. Malls aren't definitely like they were back in the days. Ghost Town. The folks working there were very nice, friendly and attentive. This place was bigger than I expected. We purchased the special on coins (cant remember exactly how much) but we had enough to win a few plushies. The selection of the machines were awesome! There was a machine we all wanted to try and win! We all left with a plushie each.

    So cute

    This place is so cool! Each play is a dollar and on my first try I won this cute little acorn frog. I named him Fred. I've never won before like ever in my life! So I stopped while I was ahead. I'll come back and try again next week

    Came across this place on Groupon. They had a good deal where you can get $20 worth of tokens for only $13. They are located at Westminster mall so parking was easy to find given that this mall doesn't get that much foot traffic. Inside, it was pretty big with lots of machines to choose from. It's one token per play and the claws here are not rigged and can hold a good grip. They have a good variety of cute plushies from Sanrio to anime but they're not authentic, just something to keep in mind. I still had fun though and I won a couple plushies. Definitely a great place to take your kids or have a date night.

    Very fun claw machines for kids and families! Got some prizes in no time Easy to exchange coins, a lot of variety, and plushies were very cute.

    Not official plushies but there were a handful of cute stuffed animals in the machines.

    Something might be going on in Westminster mall as it seemed that Kawaii Klaws was one of the few places not perspiring to shut down. I definitely recommend going over if looking for a fun activity. At $1 per game, who wouldn't want to try their luck with a crane game? (Don't forget to checkin for 2 extra shillings!) Staff is very polite. The girl at the register was apologetic as they couldn't exchange coins for us because we were a little early. They have token machines but they only accepted cash at the time. The crane seemed pretty fair or at least teased us with its ever so slight strong grasps on the plushies. In total we spent around $20 per plush. Overall, it was a fun experience and I'm glad that something like this exists.

    Claw machines

    I love Kawaii Klaws. It is perfect to spend time with friends and family. It reminds me of the machines in Japan. This place is definitely winnable. Tip: you can double tap when the claw touches a toy. Check in for your two free coins! You can get a price break when you buy coins in bulk. Get your friends and family together and split the coins. It is good value. This is a large venue with many machines and plushies to choose from.

    First time here yay!

    Our first time here. First time hearing about this place was on Instagram. We had to make a stop at the Westminster Mall yesterday to do a return, so before doing that we headed into Kawaii Klaws. First thing we had to do first was get some tokens for the machines. We head over to customer service desk and they were helpful. They had a variety of cute prizes in their claw machines. Overall cute claw arcade.

    Nice retail space changed to just have a bunch of claw machines. Wasn't packed at all. They accept card at the front desk and cash at 2 separate self serve kiosks. A lot of people were winning very easily, my daughter wasn't unfortunately, she did win 3 things out of $40 Each game is $1 - 1 token All the different plushies are pretty cute ETA: staff is amazing. They would open the machines and set up stuffies to make it easier for kids And then $60 later they saw how desperate she was for cinnamon roll, and gave it to her! That is amazing and awesome and now my daughter says we need to come back all the time

    My family enjoys claw games and this was another good option to visit while in OC. It's in a pretty dead small and difficult to get to because some of the mall esculators don't run and some stairways are taped off. The games are similarly priced as the location in Buena Park, but this one seems larger inside and has interior seating. The service was standard and prize winnings were good quality and quantity.

    His winnings!

    Last weekend, I had the opportunity to learn tufting for the first time!! For those new to tufting,…read moretufting is essentially a texture manufacturing process where you insert yarn into a base fabric to create rugs. The lesson first starts off with choosing a simple base design. Our instructor specifically recommended a design with simple lines and colors to make it easier for our first ever rug, which was around $70. Using a projector, you will trace your image onto the fabric as a template for the rest for your work. Before starting with tufting, we then moved onto a mini tutorial on the ins and outs of using a tufting gun, from yarn insertion to how to create straight versus curved lines. Keep in mind you have to put a lot of pressure on the canvas to ensure that your yarn is being threaded correctly. Going through several practice sessions definitely made the transition to the entire tufting process easier. Starting our rug, we soon recognized how difficult and time consuming the rug tufting process was. Even simple design like ours (a cartoon dog) was a long lengthy process than anticipated and we ended up spending 3-4 hours for completion for one of the smaller size rugs. We were recommended to start from the inside out and using one color at a time, inserting lines of yearn about a fingers width to ensure completion of our rug. Though we initially struggled with creating finer lines, we eventually got the hang of it and were able to successfully complete our rug. Our instructor transitioned us into the final process, teaching us how to trim our rug and prepare it to take home. Personally based on the instructor teaching and supplies available, this class was well worth its price point. Overall, I would say tufting is an impressive skill that I learned for the first time and hope to come again to create more designs!

    Just the right amount of help for every level…read more I brought in my special needs child and the staff was flexible and patient with helping all levels and abilities. The shop before hand did a great job with transparency and answering questions. It took longer than I thought to finish the project , but the music , staff and experience was overall fabulous!!!

    It's been a year since no one has done a review on this store so I'll give an update on it for…read moreanyone interested :) especially who are looking for Pokémon packs to rip (hope this review didn't get too popular or else scalpers will come ) To be honest, I have came here the first time during Tết for the food court and then I got full so me and my cousins decided to walk around the Asian Garden Mall, not a lot of stores really caught my attention until I went to Oppa's and found that they got Korean Pokémon packs. I was skeptical and Korean sets weren't that popular at the time so I only strolled around the store for a bit, looking smiskis and Vocaloid chibi figures and then went home, ended the trip I decided to go back to Oppa's the second time for the cards of course after getting stuffed with more food from the night market. Me and my boyfriend went to Oppa's yesterday around 8:45pm, the place filled pretty much plushies and Kpop items, Pokémon cards are opposite to the cashier. We decided to get a pack of Destined Rivals/Glory of Team Rocket for only $2.99 + tax (around $3 something) which is ok since you know the shipping costs as well as they do need some profits on selling stuff as a retail store too. We did a rip test and confirmed that they're real cards btw (purple/blue hue inside, you can find more information from this video https://youtu.be/13UoFipIF4c?si=wEwvg8D0-YPcwo6T) After that we went for 2 more packs before ending our trip, another Destined Rivals/Glory of Team Rocket and Heat Wave/Hot Air Arena, didn't get any big hits but it was fun after all :) The cashiers were a Korean couple (I think?) and they were very nice to us! I found it funny when the second time we went to get our 2 last packs and the lady looked a bit concerned (and she asked if we were here for packs again, funny ngl because we both financially irresponsible lol) Update on the sets they were having on are: Vstar Universe Scarlet and Violet ex Clay Burst Snow Hazard 151 Raging Surf Ancient Roar Future Slash Shiny Treasure Stella Miracle Paradise Dragona Battle Partners Heat Wave Glory of Team Rocket Vstar Universe w/10 cards for $10.99, 151 w/7 cards for $5.99 and the rest are $2.99 not including taxes yet. Remember to bring cash with you because they have to charge 50 cents more if you're paying with debit/credit card (transactions fee) Overall, great experience! Definitely would go back for more if I have time. Hopefully they sell sealed booster boxes too :)
