Big wins

Big selection of claw machines with a lot of cute plushies. The machines are mostly the 3 prong claws.

Have you ever wonder how some places have high reviews but your experience doesn't match up? Look at the reviewers. Most reviewers here only have 1 reviews with very few sentences written. This place hands out tokens as an incentive to post a review.

My niece wanted to have a girls' day and wanted to attempt to win a Labubu here. We've both never been to Mega Claws, so it was an experience for us both. Walking in, Mega Claws is clean, tidy, and super cute. The girl at the counter was super helpful. I paid with my card so she was able to help me at the counter and my niece pitched in some of her own money for tokens, but in cash. For cash, there's a kiosk that you can use. The kiosk hates $10 bills though, so it took one and kept spitting the other out. But again, the girl at the counter came and helped us out with it. Once we got our tokens, we were on our way. Super optimistic! We even got free little Labubu plushy pins! There are a good amount of machines for the store being on the smaller side. You had options of winning big and tiny plushies and you can trade it in for Labubus. There was a machine where you could win a box of Pokémon cards too. Our time there was short lived and no official Labubu was won, but we had a great time. We'll be back!

Fun experience!!! This place has a good number of claw machines with mixed kinds of cute plush stuffed toys, some Sanrio characters, Stitch, boba, fruits, and animals. They also vary in sizes. Each token is around $1. Most of the regular claw machines need 1 token. While there are some that need 2 to 3. The high ticket claw machines require 5 tokens, that's for Labubu and other blind boxes. You won't come out empty handed. They reposition the toy if you request them to. They also sell merchandise of popular toys and blind boxes. Definitely a place to try. The staff are also friendly and helpful. Hope to go back again soon.

Baseline price starts at $20 for 22 coins. Most claw games are 1 coin to play. Also, they will throw in 5 additional coins if you follow them on instagram and leave them a yelp review. The game itself is very easy to win and if you have trouble winning you can ask the staff for tips or a readjustment of the prize. After $20 I came out with 4 adorable and super soft plushies!

Update: So I gave Mega Claws a second chance and this time, the owner Jonny gave my friends and I some complimentary plays on the machines. I will say I was glad to meet with the owner and try out his machines. As you can see from this photo, we had a great time and, I feel like everyone deserves a second chance to prove to their customers that they can make things right. I'll definitely come back and play again! Shout out to Macey for making our time fun, and enjoyable. She went above and beyond, providing us with great customer service and attention, answering all our questions and helping us "relocate" the plushies to a more user friendly location, for an easier win!

Nice claw arcade in vietnam town. Great entertainment for the plaza which is what its been lacking. The claws are set to win at a reasonable rate, I saw plenty of people winning. But the stuffed animal prizes are relatively low quality. But they do have some unique machines like a 6 claw at once machine. Or a labubu blind box machine. They also have a point system where you can get larger prizes. All in all a fun time for the kids, and a nice addition to the plaza!

This was my first time coming and I was pleasantly surprised with not only how much fun I had, but also the attentive staff as well. Love this place!

Claws didn't feel as strong as Claw Me in Milpitas. Between 3 of us and 44 coins we only managed one mini plushie. Variety of products, but definitely not a lucky day for our group. They had the option to purchase prizes, which was a nice surprise. Photo machine in the back for $8 with some props

I've been wanting to try this place out for awhile from the great reviews and a recommendation from a friend. This place is spacious, well lit, and inviting. They have a token system and the more you purchase, more bonus tokens are given. I recently went to fluffy town in Oakridge and had a mediocre experience. Based on the reviews here, the claw machines seemed more generous with a wider selection. I decided to purchase $50 in tokens which came with 8 bonus tokens. The claw machines seemed identical to the ones from fluffy town - very difficult. 20 minutes in and my $50 in tokens were evaporated only winning one keychain sized stuffed animal - this was even worse than my experience at fluffy town. I would consider myself a moderately capable person in positioning the claws. I then observed the workers offering to reposition the stuffed animals so I decided to approach the front desk person to ask. I purchased another $40 in tokens ($90 invested total). With the help of the worker, we were able to get one regular sized stuffed animal for each of my daughters (I committed one to both). I unfortunately will not be returning here as I had to spend $90 to only to win two regular sized stuffed animals (only happened with the help of the workers) Had they not repositioned it, I would've left empty handed. My advice is to ask the workers for help right upfront. Best of luck and hope you win tons!

Friendly service and lots of cute prizes! Walked past the store and my son was super excited to see all the fun machines. We spent $40 and won 7 prizes in all. My son loved the experience.

Vanessa J.

The staff is really friendly and makes your experience more pleasant than other arcades. I like that they dont want you to go home empty handed.

I am so glad I visited this claw machine store in San Jose!! I have been seeing a few of these places online and was so interested to see if it would be worth the money. It definitely was!! There are a nice variety of plushies and prizes to try for, with some being bigger and costing more tokens. However, the majority of machines can be played for one token. The staff were willing to reposition the plushies to make it easier to grab and did this as many times as we asked which was super helpful! In total, we got 4 plushies with a total of 28 tokens. If you follow on insta and post a yelp pic you get 3 free tokens per person which is super nice too!

See all

It's HOT and LOUD in here. It's hard if you want to play DDR. You get very sweaty very quickly…read more Maybe save that one for last and run home to take a shower. They have a lot of popular games, but they don't have Time Crisis! I was also pretty bummed that quite a few machines were broken. The ticket to prize ratio is very high. The claw machines seem really difficult, but there were a decent number of people walking around with plushies. The price per try for a claw machine is ridiculously high as well, so probably not attainable for casuals. The arcade games seem reasonable in comparison, but 8 credits still maps to around a dollar per play. $20 each and a lot of walking around lasted us maybe 2 hours. If you want to play the Japanese rhythm games (specifically the washing machine MaiMai one, it looks like they have an unspoken community of intense people.

Jenny and Chris are not at work. The thing was, I got charged another 16 dollars after paying the first time at the counter when I first got the balls and the rack. I overtime an hour. That was what the charge was about. I had no problem paying another 16, but this shift leader failed to prove that she was responsible for noticing that my time was up. It was 30 seconds to have someone coming up telling me, "Hey, time's up, pack your shit and leave." Then I'd be happy to pounce, but no. She argued that it is MY responsibility to have my time managed, and their employees indeed wrote down the time I have to be out ON THE RECEIPT. Well, I never pay attention to my receipt but the amount I have to pay. And by that handwritten note on the receipt which was in the trash can 15 seconds after I took it. I have no idea I got overtimed. Well, $16 is not a big deal to me. It might be somebody's wage for an hour, it might be a good meal for a homeless person, but today there is a reason for me to write down this review about having bad customer service at the overpriced place in the arcade. Thanks for spending time reading this stupid complaint. If you are looking for a place for billiards, try Jimmy's or California. Trust me, they might be a bit distant, but they got a cheaper rate of 11.5-12.5/hour compared to what I paid, 16/hour. And got diamond tables ;) To be fair with round1, they got shitty brunswick crown fucking 10-20 years old. Cushions are busted on #2, 3. Clothes are filled with food and drink. TOUCH it, and you will feel sticky :))) Well, it is "well maintained"!!! The ONLY table having no problem is #6. Why? Because nobody wants to be put in the corner, and there is no space at all for the shot :))) but I handled it. Jenny and Chris, this is not just a complaint. I am also a manager and I DO care about my customers, because I put myself in their situations. I do sympathize and learn about my business's mistakes. Finally, this is a trick of trade. If you actually do care, try coming into your place and enjoying service as a customer. Don't let your employees know you were there. Then you can find problems and fix them.

Sure, we spent $50 for a full basket of coins... but it was for fun and we ended up donating the 10 stuffies to his school for the prize closet.

LOL! We got sucked into playing the Labubu machine. We grabbed the box a couple times. So close! But that machine was more coins than the regular. And after 5 tries each, we realized we were burning through the coins quick. Definitely coming back with the whole family and deeper pockets... Hoping for different selection of stuffies next time we come, so we aren't trying to win the same ones again.

What a wonderful experience for me and my kids!…read more It's hard to imagine distinguishing arcade-like experiences, but this place is really a cut above. From the moment we stepped in, I could see it was going to be a good experience. We were greeted warmly and the various options for tokens were explained to us. My kids received red pockets as it was Lunar New Year. The space is well-lit and clean. The machines were all in good working order. There are a variety of options to choose from in terms of type and color of stuffed animal to try for and all but the Lobubu one was a single token per play. My kids were having a great time and won a stuffed animal. As we were running out of tokens, the worker came by and gave my kids some tips that resulted in the getting more stuffed animals and an overall better experience. Honestly, I went there with low expectations. It was one of those rainy days where I was looking for any excuse to get the kids out of the house, but between the cleanliness, the kindness, and the overall experience I am convinced that we will be back.

Checking in was fine, except I was asked to fill out a paper version of something I already filled out online. I had pre-ordered shirts for us, and they had my son's no problem. My shirt couldn't be found, and after having me wait for 30 minutes while they organized the shirt pile I had to demand one of the "same day sale" shirts because they were about to sell out and no one else thought of that solution. We finally get into the event and its dark. Its hot. We aren't allowed any outside drinks, not even water. Every game that wasn't broken (a lot were) seemed to have a line, and no one was in a hurry to let others play. There was no communication that there was a 2nd room with driving/flying games, we stumbled on that ourselves. We gave it 4 hours, and at the end we just left.

They are held at California Extreme in Santa Clara, Golden Gate Pinball Festival in Lodi and Pin-a-Go-Go in Dixon. California Extreme is not exclusive with Pinball Machines. There are also tons of arcade games for those who enjoy them. We have enjoyed attending these events whenever we're able to. In the past, our work schedules often got in the way. Now that we're retired, our vacation schedules often cause conflicts. The people who run this event have always done a tremendous job of getting others to bring their beloved machines, set on free play, for the masses to play. In return, they get free admission. A substantial number of volunteers are also needed to load-in, load-out, wipe down, perform minor repairs, scorekeepers, registration, check-in, etc., etc. We attend to see Pinball Machines that we've never seen before, to play with machines that are hard to find, to play new machines, but mostly to play in the tournament. Yes, there are cash purses and trophies or plaques to be one. Bragging rights galore! But for players at my level, it's mostly about WPPR Points that affect your International Flipper Pinball Association Ranking. As I write this review, I am 8640 out of 103,576 players in the world. Does it mean anything? Only to my ego. At one time, I was sub-3000. I simply don't play in enough tournaments to keep my ranking. This year's tournament entry fee was $2 per game. That is not particularly expensive BUT there was no limit to the number of entries that one could purchase. This changes that tournament of skill and luck to one of skill, luck and DEEP POCKETS. In my opinion, there should be a single buy-in. Everyone plays the same number of games on the games that are available. Yes, this will reduce the prize money but so what? Whatever happens, happens. If you have a great day, congratulations. If you have a lousy day, better luck next year. But under the unlimited buy-in, you just keep putting out money until you have a few good games to tie together for your final score. What? The tournaments almost over but you're in 11th place and only the first 10 places are in the money. Well, play some more and hope to improve your score and win! Anyway, without the tournament to play in, I will either only attend California Extreme one day only or skip it all together moving forward. Additionally, this year, for the first time, the Hyatt is now charging $40 to park overnight. This was either not disclosed at the time of booking or I somehow missed it. When I complained, it was discounted $20 because I was staying there for California Extreme and another $10 because I'm a Hyatt member. I was told that, "all the other area hotels are charging more for parking and the Hyatt is just trying to catch up." There was a 49ers exhibition game on Saturday, August 19th, and parking was expected to be at a premium and traffic would be a zoo. To counter that, we arrived way early to get a space. We arrived at 8:30 for a 10:00 opening. Because we left the house so early, we didn't have time to eat breakfast, but we had plenty of down time in the hotel (check-in was at 3:00pm), so we opted for breakfast in the hotel (see our review for Evolution). Breakfast Buffet at $28 per person vs Continental Breakfast at $22 per person. So, while California Extreme is still lots of fun, between the costs and the crowds and a Deep Pocket Tournament, it may be time for us to move on.

I had never seen an arcade or entertainment venue quite like it before.What completely surprised me was the ice skating rink inside the arcade.

It's located on the opposite side of the skating rink and is easily accessible. I love that the arcade is spread across multiple areas and floors instead of being one large flat space.

I also noticed several games I hadn't seen before, including The Voice karaoke room, which was a fun and unique touch. There's also an entire floor dedicated to billiards, priced at $5 per game, which I really enjoyed. They offer food and alcoholic drinks, making it easy to spend a few hours here without needing to leave. The space was well-maintained and clean, which I truly appreciate.
