Had the best time at this new Japanese arcade! Super fun and addictive games that I had to buy more credits after I ran out. I loved the decor and Photo Booth as well. Great spot to hangout or a nice activity for a date :) would recommend to anyone!!
We had such a blast! The games are a perfect balance not too difficult to win, but still exciting and just challenging enough to keep things fun. The staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. We absolutely loved it and can't wait to come back
So much fun and your money goes a long way! Super cute toys and the staff is super friendly. Definitely coming back. I'm also a claw game junkie.
Loved this placee Vy was awesome and helped arrange the plushies so I could have another shot, very much worth it if you budget your chances and they have a bunch of cute blind boxes they sell on top of the arcade. Will come again !
Awesome new claw arcade in Tampa. My son had a blast! We went on opening day. Staff were super friendly and lots of selections of blushes and machines to play. Will be back more often.
This is hands down the BEST arcade spot I've ever been to, I genuinely wasn't expecting to have so much fun here but it was incredible! Duke and the whole team were genuinely so kind and made the experience 100% better. I came in expecting not to win anything, but I left with a bag full of wins and the grand prize!?? with my luck I was genuinely shocked. They also have a huge selection of the best blind boxes if you don't want to play to win, we managed to get labubu and other series we couldn't find anywhe
This was a really fun experience for my wife and I! I really loved the plushie selection they had in the cranes. The ones I was able to claw out felt like they were made out of premium material. They also have a good selection of Asian mini figures that you could buy too. Overall, my wife and I loved the place and will probably come back to fill up the house of plushies!
Step into the world of fun at this fantastic new Japanese claw machine arcade! From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the vibrant colors and traditional decorations that immediately makes the place seem like you teleported to Japan. The highlight? An incredible selection of claw machines, each meticulously designed and filled with unique and adorable prizes just waiting to be won! What really stood out to me was how user-friendly the machines are?so much easier to win than at other places! I manag
Went to check out Aikon and everything was so amazing the games were all fun and winnable, the staff were great everyone looked like they were having fun interacting with everyone. Lots of variety in the prizes and had so many options of blind boxes overall love this place and love the location and interior was vibrant and fun
This place is amazing! I went with my friend and had a blast. The staff was very nice and helpful especially Cecelia who helped us get started and explained everything.
This place was amazing there was a great selection. The owners and staff were so incredibly nice and helpful. I will definitely be coming back.The prices were great compared to other resellers in Tampa. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area.
Super cute claw machine arcade! Lots of fun prizes to win ? There's also a lot of merch to purchase, including Labubu, Sonny Angels, Nommy, Skullpanda, and more. I won a really cute ?Vegetable Fairy? figure and a bunch of other stuff.
Fun laid back experience. In addition to claw machines, they had various gashapons, blind boxes, and snacks. Kaitlyn was very helpful, and definitely added to our experience. Thanks!
I had so much fun at Aikon today. The staff were so nice and attentive. They had a large selection of blind boxes and all of their claw machine plushies were the cutest!!! This is probably the best clawcade I've been to in Florida.
Had a LOT of fun here. Pricing is very fair and everyone had a great time. I really liked how they traded a prize for me when I won a different prize. Very kind staff. Wishing the best for this place.
Came in and saw that there was a very long line, but the staff were very active with letting people in and out at a good pace and kept the wait time minimal. They have every popular blind box available and I had a really great time playing the claw machines!
Loved what I got here and will definitely be coming back :D the staff here, Cecilia, was so nice and helpful as well, definitely great customer service!
Amazing fun place for people of all ages with claw machines with a variety of dolls of various sizes. The big machine in the middle that you have to cut the string to win a huge doll & the dice machine are very innovative; the owners are always brainstorming to bring new fun games to the store, changing up prizes regularly. They also have many Chinese Korean Japanese snacks, gundams, labubu?s, cute toys for sale, with a Polaroid photo booth. Very easy reloadable card purchase system. Super friendly employee
Great service! I love their prices. The only thing I wish is that they would accept XRP, the legitimate digital asset.
Won almost every time! Cute little arcade, AMAZING customer service and not too crowded
I was really excited to come and visit the arcade. When walking in they had a great selection of Smiski?s which is what I originally wanted to purchase. After picking up a few boxes, I wanted to check out the arcade games and see if I wanted to play. The workers followed my friends and I around the store. We found this odd as the arcade is not very big, and if they were worried about merchandise could have had asked us to leave it up front. Then when checking out I had misread a sign and asked about a produ
Great place with plenty of cool and fun items to choose from and win! Definitely will be back here.
My girlfriend and I went to check out Aikon Arcade, after dinner. They had their grand opening today from what I could tell, and I truly hope they are around for a long time. The staff there was friendly and knowledgeable and explained everything there. I tried a claw machine out and I won a prize in two tries!! They also had some collectible stuff there that you can purchase. I know we are definitely coming back very soon. Thanks for a fun time!
Cecelia is amazing and I love love love this place. It's good vibes and great music ! Had so much fun! Thank you Cecelia !
I just came in for the first time and Cecilia was so sweet! She showed us all the games and all the merchandise! Will be back!
I went to opening day and have major thoughts. Pricing is eh for blind boxes. Labubus were about double retail. Sonny?s and others were pretty reasonable. The space was nice, filled with claw machines and pretty achievable prizes. Although where i find an issue is with the workers. I talked to a few staff, some of which were nice, but others were blatantly rude and honestly combative. I was told by one gentleman i could buy one per series per person, and another worker told me that was not the case and she
Such a cute little arcade! My girlfriend was so excited when she saw they had Labubu figures for sale, her face lit up instantly. We played some games. Cozy vibes, friendly staff, and awesome finds. We'll definitely be back!
This place reminds me of the Japantown claw machine arcade in San Francisco but a tad smaller. The employees were so sweet and helpful and I won an adorable tiger stuffy to keep on my purse. They also sell blind boxes which I love! I'll definitely be back soon and bring my nephew!
Cecelia was so sweet! It's so fun to get the plushies, and they're all so cute!
This was such a wonderful place to hang and grab cute prizes! The machines are quite fair with a variety of plushies in various sizes, including prize-guaranteed gacha machines. Cecelia was also extremely helpful and nice! Will be coming back soon!
Such a fun arcade with plenty of cute blind boxes to purchase! Great for date night or an afternoon with the fam
I loved it here! Very cute and fun atmosphere with the claw machines and the blind boxes! The workers there, especially Cecelia and Vy, were very sweet. Great place to hang out with friends and family!
super cool spot!! the staff are so friendly and i had a great time there! definitely coming back soon :)
Went to Aikon Arcade on opening day and had a blast! Good air conditioning, variety of merch, and hip decor. All employees were friendly and readily available if needed! I learned that I'm bad at claw games but that just means my husband and I will have to have more date nights at Aikon!
Awesome arcade, first time here staff was incredibly nice and genuinely wanted to know any improvements that could be made. Prices and machines are very well priced. Will be back again and again
Aikon Arcade opening day was great! There was no lines and not crowded. The staff was nice and were really helpful giving tips and free credit for a better chance of winning a prize.
The games were a flipping scam?. The claws were literally rigged making it hard to catch any prizes. We were really excited to go here cause we been wanting to go for like weeks and saw this in TikTok. All the comments were glazers. Disappointed wanted to have fun but we're gonna have to find somewhere eelse
Super cute place with simple and easy to win cranes! Also sells blind boxes separately. Vy was super sweet and helpful as well :3
Great place for a good time! Super friendly staff, Cecelia was a great help. They have fun prizes and an assortment of machines.

What a vibe! Great atmosphere! Staff members was very helpful and attentive. We will definitely be back for more fun!
Their prizes are cheap and they're completely out of stock in everything. More like a blind box store but they don't have any blind boxes. So lame
Had a amazing time!!!! Definitely coming back again no matter what, Cecelia was literally so helpful and the perfect worker you could ask for

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
