    Big machines are 1 coin per play, the small machines are 1 coin for 2 plays. It's a $10 minimum charge to play. Random but cute to do after having sushi next door

    This was my first time going to a "Clawcade" it was super cute and we had a lot of fun. My youngest adult son loves claw machines and I really wanted to take him to a human claw machine, but we decided to go to a clawcade that would be fun for the whole family. This establishment is actually a great idea for all ages. I saw a lot of little kids; however, my adult boys as well as me and my husband enjoyed ourselves. We won quite a bit of stuffed animals so winning is very common here. Prices are actually very good. I was impressed how affordable it was for the whole family and I would highly recommend this clawcade for your next fun outing for your family. The downside is that it's not a big place, but there's a lot of machines and although it's busy, it's not too bad. If I was alot closer to this place I would come more often. Bakersfield needs something like this!

    My husbands fun fact is that he is good at claw machines, he says that you have to be willing to invest time and money but if you stick with it then it pays off. I found this place while randomly finding a claw arcade in the SFV. He lit up when he went inside and said the claws were good! All machines were in good working order, the claws strength was just strong enough. There was a good variety of stuffiness I spent $60 which was there best value with one "free" stuffie. He played and won 14 which I think is too many....

    We were lucky enough to win this cute Pooh Bear purse.

    We really enjoyed a trip into this unique arcade that exclusively features claw style games where you attempt to pick up a prize with a mechanical claw. The arcade is near Kura revolving sushi so if it's busy at the sushi bar you can slip into this arcade for a little fun before having dinner. The claw games are extremely challenging but still fun to play. It may take awhile to win something or you may walk away without a win. Still the feeling in here is playful and fun with lots of different games and different prizes available. The service was outstanding too. The staff was attentive and friendly and helped us get comfortable before our game play.

    Wide variety of prizes! Very clean inside and friendly staff. Most games are $1 per try. No issues while playing.

    RUN, don't walk, to LA's newest claw machine arcade! This place is *ADDICTIVE*! Having eagerly anticipated The Clawcade's opening via social media, walking into this incredibly clean, well-lit trove of treasures was extra delightful! With 20+ machines, the adorable assortment of stuffed animals ranges from Hello Kitty + Friends to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Winnie the Pooh backpacks and more. In addition to medium and large stuffies, there are 4 mini machines that are perfect for kids to play. Head Claw Master Christina and her team really make the experience! Christina is so friendly and is always happy to share her claw skillz, from giving you in-it-to-win-it tips to re-fluffing/re-filling machines. Thanks to Christina, we walked away with 7 stuffies the first time and 3 stuffies more recently! Whether you're looking for a fun family afternoon, date night, or party hosting venue, Clawcade promises awesome excitement for all! *So happy to support a local Asian-American family-owned business!*

    The staff was EXTREMELY friendly! Very nice and welcoming. It was cute, spacious and fun! They have little mini ones too which was nice. I just moved here and it's definitely a place I'm going to bring my family too when they visit!!! The price for everything is pretty reasonable.

    The workers were so nice and made sure our experience was well worth the drive. They have many really cute plushies to win! Store was clean and had AC. Definitely will be returning in the future.

    I've been on a mission to play all the claw machines in LA and saw this new little spot. I put down $20 with a few yelp check-ins (you get $2 of coins each check-in) and ended up with two larger sized plushies. I felt the cranes were pretty fair compared to many other claw arcades that I've been to. The payouts seem to come more often than not and double tapping the button does indeed lock the claw into place. The trade up values wasn't really shown so I don't know if you can really trade up plushies for bigger stuff although it did say you could on the wall. Prizes were better IMO than other spots so I give this place a thumbs up for fairness and price. $1 per play, definitely a fun spot worth checking out in Gardena!

    The food area is set up near the register area. They gave two 4ft tables to use here, so we had extra space.

    We recently had my son's 4th birthday party at The Clawcade and everyone (including the parents and siblings) had a GREAT time! The space is open, bright, secure, clean and offers a welcoming environment to play together in one room with full visibility of the entire space. Folks were cheering by for each other, helping one another and celebrating wins! Every child big and small won stuffies!!!! The staff is super helpful and professional. They even traded stuffies for children who wanted a certain style or color. Everyone was soooo happy! I will say the stuffed animals at The Clawcade are high quality and adorably cute! They are stuffed animals you actually want to win! TBH, when I first got the quote for the birthday party, I was surprised as the cost being substantially more than a competitor. However, I quickly understood what I was paying for and it was worth every penny! The space is top-notch, safe, clean and again, the product is of superior quality! The owner Christina is a fellow mom, and she just gets it! She's attentive, professional and focused on ensuring her customers have a wonderful experience. Everything from including adorable birthday stuffies for every child, water bottles and table set-up...to offering to include all table cloths, plates, napkins and cutlery! She even offered coloring sheets and crayons, and gave me great ideas about what tends to work well in the space (extra activities and food). TIP: there is a Dollar Tree and Donut shop in the same complex, so if you need anything last minute you're covered. We picked up donut holes as part of our party snacks and it was perfect. Also, Kura Sushi is next door and if you put your name in, it makes a great lunch spot when you're done! For parties, it's is totally private, so you have the entire place for your guests before opening! It was perfect timing for the kids, and our party was 10-Noon. Plenty of time to play yet not too long for the parents or kids! We had a dedicated staff of 3 people, including the owner. They helped us load and unload the car, set-up the food and stored things in the fridge and replenished as needed during the party! They even offered to take family photos for us. It was so nice to have someone else to help manage, especially someone who actually cares about doing a good job! I would definitely recommend The Clawcade for a party! Yes, I swear to you, it is worth paying a bit more!!! I'd also recommend this place as a fun play date spot for you and the kids! I know we all have too many stuffed animals, but I promise, these are sooo cute and worth it! Thank you to Christina and her staff for a great experience! May your business continue to shine!

    Trade up prizes
    Tracy K.

    I honestly wasn't a fan of the plushies that they had. Even their trade ups weren't appealing. The trade up prizes are more geared towards the younger kids. These are big claw machines where most of their plushies are considered to be mediums and about 2 machines with large plushies. The trade ups are: Trade 7 medium plushies, OR trade 4 large plushies, OR trade 2 large plushies AND 3 medium plushies. It's a cashless facility. It's one token per game. One token is $1. Starting from $20, you'll get extra tokens. The special package starts from $50 and $60 where you get one free plushie. $100 gets you two free plushies and an additional 30 tokens. It's actually pretty difficult to get even one plushie. It typically takes at least 5+ tries. You need to grab the plushie at a certain spot or the claw will let go immediately. The claw grip doesn't close all the way for most of the machines. Didn't realize one of our plushies had a hole in it :'( until we got home ! I recommend this claw machine spot for younger kids and not for date nights. Employees were nice. It's located in a lot with 7-Eleven, bakery, and a tea spot. I'm not sure about restroom if it's a public, but I did see one at the back. They close Tuesdays. Open 1pm-8pm weekdays and 12-8 weekends.

But fear not, Kathy made sure it all worked out, and we were still able to do the ceremony outside! DJ Lance: GREAT guy. Super sweet, friendly, and he played such great songs. We gave him a list of songs we'd like, and he rolled with the punches and went for it. He also led our guests in a jeopardy game about my husband and me, in order to dismiss the tables for the buffet food. He projected a powerpoint of us as a couple, growing up, in our respective towns. The guests absolutely LOVED him, as did we. We are quite happy that we chose RBH. After about 10 in-person interviews of other locations, we do not regret our decision.

I remember taking ballet as kid and modern dance as a teen. I also took a workout class when I was in college. I always appreciated the large and spacious dance studios where the classes were held. Now that I'm older I've also come to appreciate Torrance Cultural Arts Center as a venue. I've been to several different festivals here such as the Japanese Matsuri Festival and Lunar New Year festival. This spot is perfect for the community to get together and like how each festival is able to have many different booths. I also love how there is a stage area both outside and inside. I've also attended the Torrance Firefighters' Annual Spaghetti Dinner here. This is another great event at this spacious venue. Despite it being quite a popular dinner, there''s plenty of room for all to enjoy an evening out. Torrance Cultural Arts Center is great!

There were food vendors, arts and crafts, music, performers, lion dance, magician doing magic tricks, ballroom dancers, a lot of vendors promoting services as well as other sellers selling decor, ornaments, plush, garment/clothing, etc. There were a lot of things to see! They even have a small area to do a small arts and crafts paper lantern for the kids! You can even go further in and see the small koi pond and peaceful garden (PINE WIND GARDEN). The mayor was there along with other community and local city members. They sure pulled some strings to make that small event happen. It was so fun and memorable.

    Unfortunately, my experience with this company was extremely disappointing and stressful…read more A final meeting and food tasting took place one month before my event, where I approved the chef and paid the remaining balance in full (in cash). At no point was I told I would need additional staff hours, more chairs, or any extra fees. Despite this, three days before my event, I was suddenly given a new balance. Then one day before the event, I was told I needed to provide liability insurance -- information that should have been disclosed at least 30 days in advance, not the day before. This resulted in unnecessary stress and constant back-and-forth between the owner and billing. Other issues included: * A substituted chef * Food that did not match the tasting * Dessert table that ignored the approved pink and gold theme * Incorrect lighting, missing slideshow, and missing napkins * Guests being asked to assist with tasks that should have been completed beforehand * Venue conditions that were not as represented After the event, I was also asked to leave a positive review in exchange for compensation, which I found highly unprofessional. I have text messages and documentation that confirm my experience and the timeline of these issues. While the venue itself is beautiful, the communication, execution, and business practices were chaotic and unacceptable. If you are considering this company, be prepared for last-minute fees, poor communication, and broken promises. -Khrystyne
