Me and my friends had so much fun in this place!! We got a lot of stuff toys and Sonny angels thanks to the family owners, they're so sweet and would help us move the claw machine to get the stuff toys, blind boxes easier, which was so nice and thoughtful! ???? I suggest going here with family specially with kids, dates, hangout with friends and so on!! We spend a lot but it was so worth it because it's also for the experience and quality time we spent together as friends!!
Visited this place for the first time this afternoon, and wow! All the machines are in pristine condition and actually have good prizes! There were lots of small claws that have 2 tries per token (awesome!!!) and even more larger machines that are 1 try per token. All the machines we tried were very fair & not super hard to win. We met the husband of the owner and he was so sweet and polite, made us feel so comfortable and gave us lots of tips + tricks on how to win! Genuinely such a fun time, wonderful st
Co-owner super friendly, my son was struggling to land toys and co- owner was nice to give few tips how to position the claw. My son is totally hook, we went today and will go back tomorrow again!
Me and my kids decided to go and check out Cali Claw and it was awesome. It was the perfect place to take the kids for a quick outing. They had so much fun winning the prizes in the machine all on there own. The owners were awesome and customer service was the best. We'll definitely be back again.
Took my 15 year old son there yesterday and we had a blast. Staff were all super nice and really tried to help you win prizes. Exceeded my son?s expectations. We will definitely go back!
I took my son here for his birthday and we had a blast! To start, the layout is open, well decorated, and very clean. The owner is super friendly and welcoming and went above and beyond in insuring we enjoyed ourselves. I really like how the small plush machines gave two turns per coin and was right at the height for the littles ones. They have nice prizes and a wide variety of plushes which was awesome. Im glad we made it part of our celebration and will be coming back soon!
I love this place! The owners have amazing customer service: they really want you to have a great experience and to win. They give you tips on how to win and will reset the plushie for you if you have tried it and it's too difficult for you to win it. Also, they encourage you to win the easiest prize in the machine and if it's not a prize you like, then you can trade it for another prize in that same claw machine the same day. You can also trade up to win bigger plushies if you wish (minimum trade up is 3 p
Just left Romel at Cali Claw in Concord. Place was clean and well lit. We won a bunch of toys and traded up for a hello kitty toy and let a let a little girl take it home. I know I'm going back, Romel made sure because he gave us a handful of tokens to take with us. Thanks Romel, we'll see you real soon.
I was hesitant to go because my little one has melt downs over claw machines, she started to get upset near the end of our coins because she didn't win the one she wanted most, but the workers are all so kind and helpful and made sure to help the little one with tips to win!
I went on a Sunday afternoon with my kids. It wasn't busy, so there was no wait time at all on the machines. It had chill vibes, and the best thing there was, the owners! They even gave free coins! They help reorganize the plushy to make it easier for me and my kids to win. 10/10 definitely will be back
My kids are obsessed with arcades so when I came across this place I decided to make plans to come check it out as a fun summer treat. Immediately upon arrival we were greeted by the owner who made us feel welcomed, the arcade was nice and bright with lots of options to choose from. And just in case its not your lucky day, they had purchase options as well, with items like Labubus among other popular toy items and they host Pok?mon tournaments!, honestly 10/10. My kids and I can't wait to come back.
We had an amazing time at Cali Claw in Concord! The claw machines were so much fun, the prizes were absolutely adorable, and we loved that you could trade and upgrade them. The customer service was phenomenal ? super friendly and helpful throughout our visit. My kids had a blast and are already asking to go back. Highly recommend Cali Claw for a fun and memorable experience!
We had an amazing time here! They are still in their soft opening phase. They have super cute plushies and keychains. Everything we saw was authentic and not a fake version of the character like we've seen at other places. They have the trade up system so you can keep what you want or trade up for a different plush or figure. You can also trade for a different item in the same machine that you got it from. While you're playing, if you need help with any of the machines or anything reset, they are happy to h
What a awesome resource to have in Concord. I don't think people are realizing that concord is pretty much the place to be, if you have a toddler. With Zyland opening up and now Cali Claw there are tons of unique options to take your kids to, and this isn't even just for toddlers people of all ages can come here and have fun. The prices to use these claw machines are absolute steal at only a 1.00 a token, with the smaller games automatically having two chances to win! In Los Angeles there are similar machi
We stopped by Cali Claw on a drive back from the north bay and we had a great time! My whole family have a soft spot for claw machines, though we know it can quickly become a money pit. However the owner was so kind, and he made sure we all had a good experience. He made it easier for my young kids to win some goodies, and threw in extra tokens so we could extend our fun. The place was clean, and there was a variety of prizes in each machine. Thank you to Cali Claw!
Me and my friends passed by this place and by the look of it, it just looked so fun. So we decided to go a couple days later and it wasn't what i was expecting but it was WAY more i love how its a family owned business and the owners kids kept giving us tips and helping us win. It's just a small little place to go with family or friends but i definitely recommend!
My 12 year old daughter and I came here for the first time. We purchased a Groupon. The place is open and clean and ventilated. the prizes were really nice! We got $75 worth of tokens. The reason why I gave 4 stars is because the claws were really weak and had a lot of wiggle movement once the claw was closed, lifted up and tailored over to winning drop box. That part was a super bummer for my daughter as she only won 1 prize. The Groupon made it more affordable, otherwise we would've just played $25 worth
The workers are so friendly and kind. They helped us win the prizes and allowed us to trade. I took my 6 yo niece and I'm not sure who had more fun ??Will definitely return!
This place was so much fun! that staff is super nice and super helpful but i?m rating it a 4/5 only because the claws are not super strong and drop everything very easily and the sonny angels are fake. still super cute but beware. everything else was perfect ?
Awesome place! The staff (i believe we're the owners) are super welcoming and kind. My kid had a blast. As well as my wife and I
Had a great time at Cali Claw USA! Great games, even better service. Their goal is to make sure everyone has a great time, and we sure did! I cannot recommend this enough. Will definitely be back!
The people who run the place make it a pleasure to be there. The machines are new and prizes are decent, the 4 stars was because the claws are pretty loose. You pick up a prize it bumps and you loose the prize. The staff is very accommodating and they want you to win, so that being said we walked out with prizes and a pleasant experience!
Amazing family running the claw machine arcade! My girlfriend and I stopped by and were immediately introduced and welcomed. Machines have good selection they are friendly to give great tips and really want you to enjoy your time! I would definitely stop by again and bring friends to try their luck! My girlfriend and I Had a really great time and they are really great people. Definitely stop by and try out their machines after a brunch or something
Amazing experience, usually these types of games you feel cheated but this was all about the kids. They made sure the kids enjoyed their Time and everyone had a chance to win. I highly recommend stopping by with your kids to let them have some fun.
I stopped in this place really curious, it's a great experience. The staff was friendly and made me feel welcome. This is an awesome date night idea.. win an item from the claw machine for your date. The plushie items are nice and high quality. This was alot of fun! Will be back soon!
Took my nephew here and the owner is so nice and welcoming. You are definitely walking out winning at least something. I hope everyone will support this small family run business because the owner is the kind of guy that appreciates his customers and he shows it.
This is such a great place!! Me and my family won a super adorable hello kitty fluffy. The shuffle service makes it easier. We had a lot of fun and thank to the young bosses!
It was such a fun experience! The owner was super friendly, and he also gave us some tips for winning the prize. So I won two prizes!! It was my first time winning a prize in my life. I had so much fun. I will definitely revisit this place.
This place is AMAZING! I took my daughters here and they had a blast. Great place for families! The owner gave us helpful tips on how to position the claw and even repositioned the stuffy so the kids could grab it easier. We definitely will come back soon! They also have cute custom coins.
This place is so fun and all the prizes are adorable. My kids and I had a blast, I love the aesthetic and ambience!
Best claw machine in bay area This place is amazing. I go to all the claw machine places that I'm aware of and none are even close to this. The staff are incredibly nice and the prizes are fun! Round 1 is a distant second.
Great customer service. Very kid friendly. They gave us extra tokens and reshuffled the prizes to make it easier for my 4 year old.
The people working there went out of their way to make sure the kids had fun. Highly recommended.
This place is awesome?great time to stop by for a date night with the family. Super friendly staff, very clean and inviting space. They even have the real high-quality plushies stocked up. Great to see this in the community. Will be back for more!
This place is awesome! My husband and I took our son here as a part of his 6th birthday fun for the day today. It was our first time there. We had a great time! The owners are super friendly and went above and beyond to make sure he enjoyed his birthday experience there today. We are very grateful for the hospitality and kindness from you guys. THANK YOU! We will definitely be back!
We checked out Cali Claw this week and had a blast! The owner is incredibly friendly and shared the story of how a family vacation and kids inspired him to open this claw machine spot. He even gave us tips on how best to win prizes and was fun to chat with. The cute logo is their dog, Cali, and is customized on their claw machines. Cali Claw has a nice trade up program too where you could trade in smaller prizes for bigger ones on the shelves. We're excited to go back and win more - fun for kids and adults.
Claw machines barely close even on round objects with no obstructions. When you get a decent hold on an item, machine jerks and shakes loose. Go elsewhere for a good experience.
Fantastic experience! My girlfriend and I dropped in on a Monday afternoon and we were met with fantastic service and a fun/chill environment. The prizes were great, unique and memorable all at the same time . The family, homey atmosphere made the experience especially special, along with exceptional customer service . Will definitely make another trip back with smiles on our face.
Such a fun place! The owner is wonderful and gave my daughter some extra coins so she could win one of the plushies that she wanted! Definitely worth checking this place out.
Awesome new business in Concord! Brought the kids in today and we had a blast! Owners are super nice and the prizes are so fun! The place is clean and well kept. Great place for family fun or for a date! Support your local small business. We can't wait to come back!
This place is perfect for my daughter. It's not noisy like Round 1 or Dave & Busters. It works out well for her.
highly recommend going here! the owner is very sweet and helpful. he also saw that my husband and i were struggling to get a toy I really wanted and helped us so many times to move the toy and even gave us free tries! they are very sweet and welcoming here. also the toys are really great quality and cute! a lot of sanrio items which is my favorite. def will be coming back (:
fun and fair for kids and parents! i had a very wholesome experience when i took my daughter and niece for the first time today ! the owners are kind people who want to see their customers have fun and leave a winner ! package pricing is reasonable with straight to the point game entry, one coin per play ! definitely stop in and support these guys !
First time and will definitely be returning. My daughter has been obsessed with claw games and so this was great. Everyone there is very nice and helpful. Really great way to spend some time.
First time here! The owner was really nice. He even adjusted the placement of the prizes after a few tries. The inside of the store was cozy and well decorated. They added Halloween decorations too. I also won a prize! He offers the Keychain part for the small prizes if you'd like. You can also trade up the big items for even bigger ones.
This family owned business is a great experience for kids and adults. Claw machines are classic fun and although challenging, my daughter and I still had a great time. They have a wide variety of stuffed animals from Pok?mon, Sanrio, Disney, Nintendo, etc. We enjoyed the large machines more than the small ones and came away with 4 stuffed animals. The staff is very friendly and interacts with customers, and I really support their idea of providing a screen-free memorable experience for kids. I highly recomm
Great place to take your kids for a chance at winning some prizes. The owners are a friendly family that do what they can to give you the best shot at winning. They offered tips on the claw machines, gave us a bunch of free tries, and would also reposition the prizes to make them easier to grab. Tokens are a dollar each. The bigger claw machines are one token per turn and the little ones were one token for two turns. The prizes were pretty varied, so there should be something to entice everyone in your gro
I stopped by to check this place out since it's new and ended up having a ton of fun! The owner and employees are invested in helping you win and they do they're best to make sure you've gotten something before you go. They reset the machines when you ask or if they see it's not ideal for winning. The employees also give lots of tips on how to grab prizes. While I was there the owners kids were also helping me out with their tips which was super sweet. I really appreciated how invested they were in helping
Great arrangement of prizes, and the owners are amazing! Super clean inside as well, will definitely be coming back and recommending to family and friends! It's great seeing new trendy places like these open up in our community, and first-gen owned.
We were in Concord for dinner and found this gem of a place. A lot of different plushies to win from and the employees were helpful and extremely friendly. Best of all, the claws aren't rigged and actually have grip. Would definitely be coming back!!
Best claw machine place! The owners are awesome and sweet people who always take time to greet us, help you out, give you tips, and genuinely want you to have a good time and win some prizes. There are so many cool prize choices and they even let you swap what you won for a different item inside the machine. We love coming here and every time is always fun. Definitely check out this gem!
Such a fun claw arcade! After coming back from Japan my girls were obsessed with these claw machines! So glad we found this family owned spot! Super welcoming and gave us tips! Lots of claw machines to choose from! And the prizes! You can exchange your prize if you want a different one from that machine. We'll definitely be back!
I highly recommend you to come here if you have younger kids. Management is awesome! It was a little busy coming in at first but it didn't stop the manager from greeting us at the door. He explained how everything was run by. The best part is you can trade your prizes for bigger prizes. And the manager is always helping by resting the games and is very attentive. Big machines are 1 token and little machines r 2 tries for one token.
My kids had fun. The owners were very helpful and friendly. They had a wide variety of prizes that my kids wanted to win.
It was really fun, the people working there were really nice and helpful. The prices were very reasonable it's not like other claw machine games were you won't win nothing, you'll definitely at least win something they offer trade ups which was a huge plus. I will definitely be coming again.
If you're looking for the most exceptional service and an actual shot at winning prizes, this is the place to go!! They are family owned and just starting out but they're already so amazing at what they do! They even mix the prizes up for you if you are having a hard time on a machine and they have a great variety!! They are the kindest business owners I've ever met and I'll definitely be back many times!! Please give cali claw a try, you will not be disappointed and might just find a new spot to hang out w
The cutest little claw arcade! The owners are extremely thoughtful and attentive. Good variety of plushies and prizes! They also let you trade up (3 small prizes for 1 medium, etc). We'll be back!
We had a wonderful experience at Cali Claw. The staff was very nice and helpful. They made sure we understood the best strategies to win which was great! We came home with a plethora of little stuffed animals to add to the collection. I am so glad they opened up a place like this in Concord!
Went to this place after seeing ads about it on social media and i was not disappointed. better claw machines small and big ones that have fun prizes from stuffed animals to toys to keychains. games are 1$ a play in the form of tokens and there's also a trading system that you can ask the workers about when u get there. it reminds me of a modernized circus circus from Reno but located in Concord. check it out because the prizes are similar and or better than places like Round 1. definitely very family frien
Brought my nephew today, and the customer service from the owners is top notch. They really care about the customers, and they make sure you leave with a good experience. I hope nothing but success to this business. thank you soo much!
Clean shop with new machines. The owners were very attentive and nice. Great time and memories for our kids. Will definitely back
Fun fun fun. The kids enjoyed our experience at Cali Claw. The atmosphere was fantastic and welcoming! Will definitely be back! Thank you to the nice folks at Cali Claw for making our visit so special.
Been waiting for this place to open for months, and it didn't disappoint! The owner was really friendly, his kids gave us some great tips on how to win prizes, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Will definitely be going back often.
Dope spot with good vibes especially if you like Anime, Disney and other cool things, love the selection of prizes and blind bags, owner and his kids were really nice too giving tips on how to win some prizes even got some free tokens will be coming back!
Such nice customer service!!! A very family friendly environment and good experience. So glad to go home with 2 sonny angels and a hello kitty! Definitely coming back again ??
Took the kidos on Wednesday after school and they had a blast. Ro (not sure on the spelling) was working the register. Ro was very welcoming and made sure the littles didn't leave empty handed. We will definitely be back.
The place was really fun, we walked in and the owner was so nice, he explained how everything worked, gave us a family deal, and even gave us bonus tokens so we could win the prize we were going after, truly an amazing experience and I recommend everyone with a passion for arcades should check them out.-Xeno
I'm not usually a claw machine or arcade kinda guy, but this was cute and fun :) Lots of cute stuff and the owners will give tips and help ya out. Good vibe, definitely worth stopping by if you're downtown
Great fun for the kids. The owners are really nice and make it a fun experience for the kids.
If you want a cheap and fun place to be with high quality prizes and attentive and friendly service, then this is it! I had a wonderful time trying my luck and merely enjoying the atmosphere!
Love this place! Great prices and such a good system with the plushies. Staff is so friendly and helpful. My new fave local claw machine spot.
I had a lot of fun with my friends coming here. The owner and his kids are super nice and give helpful tips. Will be coming back.

Everything is so cute!!!! Go there now!!! Workers are very nice!!!??
AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE
Amazing and SUPER fun
Very friendly owners
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.”
