    Lions stuffies
    Dave H.

    This place was super fun but pricey. Probably dropped $100+ on tokens and each claw game is 1-6 tokens. People who work there are SUPER friendly and willing to help you out with the games or if anything goes wrong. They literally will fluff up the items in the machines instead of stuffing them down making it extremely difficult for the claw to actually work. Super addictive claw games though! Definitely a Japanese based influence right in Novi. There's also a Japanese steakhouse right next door so make a night of it! Great for kids and they have a trade in- trade up option if you want to trade in smaller objects for more premium or larger stuffed figures. Plenty of different types of items to win. From small keychains to Pokemon and Disney characters. We took home two solid bags of stuffies and the kids had a blast collecting items. Will return and highly recommend it to any parents or anyone who likes to play these types of games.

    After buying $40 in tokens my son ended up with one Napa cabbage stuffy (I'd be interested to know what Klawsome's cost is for the one we walked away with). I quickly realized that most of the claws had grippy rubber finger covers. On pretty much EVERY game at least one of the rubber grippy tips was missing; more frequently though at least two (or all), of the grippy rubber finger covers had fallen off (or been removed). My kiddo is really good at claw games but this place was pretty frustrating and pricey at $2-3 a try. He had several stuffies in his clutches and then they'd slip out at the last second. It happened over and over. It left me feeling like the deck was a little too stacked to be fun. We won't be back. I heard there's a good spot next to One World Market that's favorable... that's next on the list.

    This place was so cute! I really liked the decorated wall full of plushies :) I think this is a nice place for kids and everyone to come check out. It was smaller than I expected so it felt crowded. It was nice that I could come check it out though!

    Everything is awesome at Klawsome! So I know the owners, which means I know firsthand all work and time they've put into opening Michigan's first claw machine arcade, inspired by family trips to other cities with clawcades and seeing how much the whole family enjoys them. I've loved what they've done with the space, located in a yet-to-be-fully-open Japanese lifestyle mall (there's a Paris Baguette fully operating next now)! At Klawsome, there's an assortment of cute plushies to win for your collection, a winners' wall where you MUST take a photo in, blind boxes, machines with smaller prizes (including one where everyone is a winner!), fun Asian snacks and more! Pro tip: If there's a special promotion you do NOT want to get there an hour into when it started like we did because it WILL be incredibly packed. Be sure to check out the plushie upgrade process, where you can trade in smaller plushies for a big one!

    This place is so super adorable and tons of fun, I actually came two days in a row with my child. I thought the people working here were so great, and so helpful. The selection of prizes is adorable and they tell me they switch them out often. I love the concept and will probably come back a bunch of times, even though I do not need any more cute stuffed animals. I like that there is a cafe next door, but wish this place was bigger and maybe offered food and drinks for parties. Since this is a new build and a new spot for business, perhaps if it does well they would be able to grow.

    Such a cool spot and great family night or date night. Agnes, one of the owners, gave us the rundown on tokens, trading, and got us set up with a free bag for all of our winnings. The larger plushies are 2 tokens per play, and the smaller ones 1 token. We managed to win some great items and can't wait to go back

    Great Filipino-owned business in a convenient location. While I waited for my spot at Chubby Cattle, I browsed through Klawsome and won two plushies with my partner. Employees were very accommodating to customers, and you are able to switch out plushies within the same machine upon request! Great selection of plushies and I definitely feel like it wasn't as difficult as other claw machine places like Round 1.

    I think this place is a claw machine lovers dream come true. Lots of selection and things to do. I think kids would really like coming here. People were very friendly to work here. I didn't really try. However, I was able to see that people want some good stuff while they were here. Convenient location, lots of parking.

    Discovered Klawsome while waiting for my table at Chubby Cattle nearby and so glad I did! This is a store filled with several claw machines that have plushies, trinkets, and snacks. It reminds me of the many claw machine shops that exist in Taiwan. The plushies were adorable and of variable sizes. I saw one claw machine filled with different types of instant ramen noodles. Fun little spot! Will defs be back!

    $20 gone in 10min all claws machines are basically $2 per play. Not enough play for the cost.

    I recently visited the Dave & Buster's in Livonia with my family and unfortunately the experience…read morewas very mixed. We purchased three of the $59.99 Eat and Play combos for the kids, and I do want to give credit where it's due. We ended up losing one of the game cards and the manager was extremely accommodating in making sure the free meal was still honored. That level of understanding and customer care was truly appreciated. However, the rest of the visit did not match that same standard. I went to the bar to grab a drink and watch the football game and sat there for quite a while without being greeted, even though the bartender clearly saw me. The bar itself wasn't busy, yet the environment felt rushed and unwelcoming. When I was finally acknowledged and received my drink, the overall energy was tense and uncomfortable. The bartender I interacted with, Dana, came off very cold. Later, I spoke with a friend who had been there the day before and they mentioned having a similar negative customer service experience with her as well. When we sat down to eat as a family, the attitude continued. Our waitress was noticeably hostile. She slammed my drink on the table and did the same with my cousin's food. It made what should have been a fun family outing feel awkward and unpleasant. The food itself was just okay. I ordered the sampler with sliders, wings, and fries. I tried asking about the spicy Korean wing flavor and the waitress seemed completely uninterested, simply saying she only eats buffalo wings. There was no effort to be helpful or welcoming. I had been told this location was better than the Utica one, but based on this visit, I wasn't impressed. It's disappointing, especially since I was hosting family from out of town and hoped for a fun, upbeat environment. The manager's assistance was the highlight, but the overall staff attitude made the experience one I'm not excited to repeat.

With that being said- on a Saturday night which is one of the most popular evenings...why are half of the games not working and why are your prizes all of the surplus from old inventory/clearance items? I lost many chips on a lot of games that were not properly working and the prizes were nowhere near how nice they used to be. The actual food area was good- but be warned. If you have a lot of food restrictions, there is not much you can get. I ended up with two grilled chicken breasts but had to purchase a specific meal for much more than it was worth and I asked for light sauce and they smothered it. The rice pilaf was good along with the coleslaw but I would love to see a "light" menu for those with numerous restrictions. Even just plain grilled chicken sandwich with a gluten free bun or something. Overall- I'll be back for sure. I just hope you take these things into consideration. I love the atmosphere but making it a bit cleaner and maybe getting some more variety of games will do you good. You used to have plenty of games, but they all seem to be screen games now where the settings dictate how often someone wins or has certain settings turned on. I highly recommend bringing back some good old fashioned games to appease all ages!

First we had dinner then the rules of whirly ball then we played. Dinner consisted of sub sandwiches, fried apps like those mini tacos, mini eggrolls and mini corn dogs, a salad, hummus, and soup. The soup was the weird thing. It was 94 degrees outside and we got soup. Maybe that was our fault but that was an option and I guess we took it. Food was mid at best. Enough to be full but not very good. The bar was open to us for draft beer and beer in the freezer. I got a blue moon on tap and it was not good. Tasted and smelled fishy. So I gave up drinking it after a few sips. The place is dark. And it was well air conditioned. Lots of big couches and random tables and chairs throughout. They have a lot of video type games and foozball and hockey tables tops. All cost. So bring $1's. Whirly ball was fun. I have to say. Playing with my coworkers was a blast. However. The bumper cars were dirty and smelly. Looked like they hadn't been washed in awhile. The catchers were raggedy and we crushed 1 ball. And it is hot. The air conditioner in the bar is not on the whirly ball court so it gets super hot. And your active so now your hot and sweaty. Then the bumper car is filthy and smelly and not maintained. My seatbelt came out of the seat. That's safe. I am not sure how often they clean and maintenance these bumper cars but it doesn't seem like they do. Gross! The score reflects the fact I had a good time with my co workers but the place itself is kinda dirty and smelly. I guess you have to weigh your fun and good time to disinfecting yourself when you get home.

On standby- plenty of electric powered karts, virtual reality experience and racing sims suited for any age. Better to book exclusively so everyone can enjoy the actual kart racing. But on any given day, you may have to wait your turn as other groups go ahead and finish driving around the track. We were told that each race is 6 long. In reality, the safety orientation/instruction before the race takes longer than driving around the tracks. Then more time is spent on putting the helmet, neck pads and what number is your kart. There was no music to set up the mood. One can sense the strong distinct smell of rubber tires. It made me nauseous. High chairs and cocktail tables are meant for the racers in waiting, while the rest is meant for the guests to sit down, have a snack or chat. Refreshments and meals are available to order. Can you bring your own cake? It seems not to be not a problem for one group that came in today with a cake box and balloons. If you want to try out VR games, it's best time to experience it here together because they can accommodate 4 players at a time. Racing sims has its own space. If I'm not mistaken, there was an employee that resembles a bouncer in a club - that checks who comes in and out of the dark room. Large tv screen, seats that move and actual size steering wheels - no helmets needed. We knew this park had been here for years and today was the first time for us to finally come inside and figure out what's happening. In my observation, the kart tracks would have been bigger and longer, music and sounds related to races would have been perfect. The sound system could have been better if I understood what the guys were announcing - the speaker was inaudible. Anyways, the staff seem to love what they are doing..very knowledgeable and helpful.
