My wife and 5 year old son and I went to WaWa claw for about 10 minutes while we waited to eat at The Pan. Cool vibes, service, and a great way to kill time. The machines are super fun, "fair" (very winnable) and token prices are very reasonable. Overall we had a blast and my son won 2 prizes so he was super happy. We will definitely be back! read more

Probably the better claw place compared to Clawcade. Same set up, but the quality and selection of toys was better here. The people are nice and understanding. The atmosphere is very good for the kids. I do think that their trade in values for better flushes could be improved. Doesn't matter what plush you get, its only worth 1 point. The minimum trade in is like 12 for a better plushie. Thats 12 large blushes. Its kinda hard for kids to get that many. Either way, everything was good. Being able to bring your own food was great too. My youngest son wants he have his bday here..but thats next August so we'll see if he still does. Thx read more

Wawa Claw - My kids enjoying the place - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Gardena, California

Once upon a time, another interesting Yelp-worthy find! What a great idea! You can try your hand at capturing a prize from a huge selection of claw-game choices! There are expensive claw games and some $1 choices. The prizes offered include cute figurines, Pokémon cards, and even bigger prizes. They even host parties here! I only wish some of the games were a little less expensive to play (I.e. 8 tokens for a premium claw-game). What a great spot to enjoy - very unique. The end. read more

Cutest place ever! There are tons of claw machines and the prizes are so good. We won some keychains and Winnie the Pooh character figures. My son loved the smaller machines that were his size and easy for him to reach, it was so cute to watch. The staff is also very nice and friendly. We had such a great time and will definitely be back soon! read more

My family and I really enjoy coming here. Something about the crane machine addiction. Prizes are rotated often! Party packages available and that's soo cool. They also have a trade in options for BIGGER prizes. My favorite thing when I was visiting with my daughter, is that the staff helps the kiddos with the cranes and positioning so they have a chance to get the prize they want. Staff to guest interaction is welcoming. Wawa claws also have a trade in value card they offer. They stamp a card with the prizes you trade in and you can add them up for a bigger trade in later. Highly recommend the stamp card. read more

Drove down from Cypress... saw a sign at front door they were closed for a birthday party till 4pm,. Drove around and came back at 4 and was told no! We are still closed. Tried to ask when they will reopen to the public but the girl was so rude and just said no, we are closed. Been here many times but never saw this girl employee before. Will spend my money somewhere else . read more

A great place for an inexpensive amusement. If you're lucky enough, you'll come away with a bunch of stuffed animals from their claw games, but it takes a lot of skill. It is best to buy the higher dollar amount because you'll get more tokens. read more

Stopped by while I waited for my food next door and omg i was addicted the moment i walked in. It's smaller than a full arcade but EVERY plushie was either worth it or too adorable and cute. I won on my first try!!! The staff are SUPER helpful, friendly and supportive! Will def come back with my mini besties so I can use them as an excuse to spend more money! read more

The claw store is located in a shared plaza with ample parking available. The staff are friendly here. They have plenty of machines in different scales for keychains, small and medium sized plushies. Some machines are easier than the others, but most of the claws are so weak and set up for your failures, unfortunately, that's how they make money. I spent $50 easily without realizing it, and it costs one token per play for each claw machine regardless of the size of plushies. I ended up with five middle sized plushies, two small ones, and two blind capsules with each cost six tokens per play. read more

A friend of mine surprised me with a trip to Wawa claw, and we had entirely too much fun. I was a kid in a candy store with all the claw machines that they had. Ruben, was the gentleman who was working at the time we went, he was amazing. While we were playing with some of the machines he came by and encouraged us when we were winning and when we were losing. He was very informative about the location and also let us know about another location. They have that offer private parties. He let us know that we can keep our coins that we didn't use for next time and he was our photographer for our mini photo opp that we did. We won so many cute goodies, which I plan to use a few for bag charms. Next time I really wanna win a huge stuffed animal. It was lucky stressful when we didn't win and we were so close, but the adrenaline of winning kept us going. I love how the store was set up, and different prizes they had to win definitely recommend shout out to Ruben for his amazing customer service. read more

This is the greatest claw arcade in southern california, hands down. Other places you walk out feeling scammed out, but not here. You walk out with more than just something. Caleb is the epitome of customer service and was such a great help with my son and I. They have the best selection of plushes in any claw arcade. Seriously though, Caleb deserves the highest raise lol. Thanks Caleb for making our first time here a super positive experience. I will definitely bring my monies back here again. read more

Shoutout to the person working on 12/17/2025 at night, he was sooo kind and helpful! I spent $50 to play the mini claw machines, gachapon, and trade in for smaller prizes. I won 3 medium sized plushies, 3 mini plushies, and played for one gachapon figurine. I spent a majority of my tokens on a smaller claw machine that was just not paying out because the plushie was hard to grab. He repositioned the toy so I could win it at the end of my time there, thank you so much! I'll definitely be back. read more

Wow, this place is awesome! Won so many prizes! Irene and Nancy were really helpful and friendly. They made it a lot of fun. Would definitely come back and recommend this place to friends and family! read more

I am concerned about the plush dolls I got from the store. I noticed that they do not have any tags or labels, so I'm unsure about the quality and whether the filling materials are safe. This is especially important as the plush dolls are intended for young children. That being said, the staff were very nice and friendly. Lastly, As a parent, I sincerely hope the plush dolls meet safety standards. I will gladly revise my review to 5 stars if the owner can confirm or provide assurance that the plush dolls are safe. Thanks! read more

We've been here 3 times and by far it's our favorite claw machine place primarily due to the staff. The two gentlemen working here represents what customer service should be. They always have a smile on their face and have been truly attentive to our needs. Lastly, the plushies/toys selection has gotten better each time we came. My family loves coming here for a little friendly challenge. Thank you Wawa Staff and see you soon! read more

This place is a scam!!! If you grab a toy but the claws are so weak that it drops every toy, it's rigged. Do not waste your money or time here on these bootleg toys that do not resemble the real characters. Am I salty about it? Yes, I am. read more

So fun! Good prizes and reasonable claw machines. They don't scam you here. Definitely will come back!

I wanted to fill my craving for claw machines that I usually get from Round 1, but it's a far drive. That's when I stumbled upon Wawa Claw and I was in claw machine HEAVEN. There's so many cute plushies, keychains, and GACHA capsules. The 2 staff working was super friendly! Ruben helped me out at the desk to get tokens and explained the whole plush trade-in to get the bigger plushies behind him. I was convinced I needed to win the little mofusand shark cat on the shelves. The adrenaline from winning made me want to refill my tokens. Super cool place and I'll definitely be back!! read more

Me and my family have been to many claw arcades and this one is the best one. They have the best prizes.l, best trade ins, it's super clean, and the staff is so amazing. It's the best family fun or cute lil date night place. You always win something and the workers are so kind and helpful. They go above and beyond. We have recently had my son's birthday party there and it was one of the best birthday celebrations ever. The kids had fun, adults had fun, and set up and clean up was so easy. read more

Tell me why I walked into Wawa Claw and instantly turned into a full-grown child with a mission. The neon lights, the plushies, the chaos... I was LIVING. This place is like a stuffed toy fever dream in the best way possible. And the vibes? Immaculate. The staff? Chill and actually helpful (like, thank you for not judging me for screaming when I won my first plush). It's not just games--it's warfare against those sneaky claw machines, and I walked out with a bag full of fluffy victories. I came for "one try" and left with a whole crew of new soft friends. Don't ask how much I spent. Just know it was worth it. If you need serotonin, go here. If you need stuffed animals, go here. If you need both (and maybe a little healing from your inner child)? Run, don't walk. 10/10. Would rage against the claw again. read more

a super eye catching claw arcade that we happened upon while waiting for our table at the brunch place next door. we were welcomed very warmly by the staff and took our time looking around at all the different claw machines. the vibe is really nice and vibrant, and it really got us connecting with our inner child. the staff are friendly and helpful, especially since we were first timers. they have a token exchange machine that takes cash and accept card at the counter. there are a ton of different prizes, and they had an area for bigger prizes. we definitely spent more than anticipated, but it was well worth it for the experience and adorable takeaways! would love to come back again and play some more and maybe get one of the bigger prizes next time! read more

What a fun experience. Pretty impressed with the selection of toys. Great family fun. I'll be back.

I came back again after a great visit a few weeks ago, and I can confidently say this is hands down my favorite claw machine experience largely thanks to Ruben. He's incredibly friendly and genuinely makes the whole experience more fun. I'm even thinking about throwing a claw party and would love to have Ruben there to run it! read more

Clean and super fun. Jocelyn was so nice and friendly to our kids. We will be coming back soon!!!

Yo this place is what's up! So much fun to take the kiddos on a weekday. They had so much fun putting coins in and winning a cute plushie. The workers here are all A+, but standout , I give a shout out to David. He's so funny and super helpful! He will answer all your questions and definitely will extend a helping hand; just ask! He is also very knowledgeable about claw tips and tricks! read more

DONT COME WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE AT THIS LOCATION YOU ARE BETTER OFF GOING TO THE TORRANCE LOCATION . I went to this location for the very first time and was greeted with some sad classical music that made the ambiance sad . I started off with $20 worth of tokens to try the machines out and I got two plushies without anyone's help but then I asked this employee named Ruben to help me out and he looked like he was in a bad mood but proceeded to help me out and I thanked him . Keep in mind I asked him twice for help and when I went to top off on another $20 worth of tokens , I asked for help one last time and he rudely told me that he can't help me anymore because he will get in trouble which I think is total bogus because the whole point of there job is to help out when asked . Obviously I'm not going to abuse the system and ask for help 20 times but asking 3 times shouldn't be considered a lot in my eyes . You guys should replace this employee because it really seemed like he didn't want to be there . Also forgot to mention when a group of girls walked in to play he gladly told them if they needed help to ask him which I found totally disrespected because I had asked for help and like I said he rudely told me no because he will get in trouble . Torrance location is waaaaaayy better take my word for it ! read more

A special shout out to WaWa Clay arcade! This place was so much fun and it was nice that all the games were one token. We had just come from another place (which shall remain nameless) and it SUCKED! Wawa had employees there to help, and their customer service is amazing! I would especially like to thank Ruben for making our time there so awesome! We will definitely be back! read more
