Visiting from out of state and was looking for something to do. Strolled in and tried our luck. Ended up with an armful of stuffed animals and happy. Pricing to win ratio was good and the staff friendly and helpful. I have been to other claw arcades and you spend way more money and lucky to get anything. If we visit again I'd come back!
Staff were great and very helpful. The young lady opened the machine and re-stacked the items to make it a little easier for my daughter to get something. First visit for my girl, and she loved it. If you're really good at the clae games, then the price isn't crazy. If you're not too good, then it can feel like you're spending a bit too much. It's in a great location. The prizes are good and cool. If they had some exclusive or more popular prizes, then I'd be willing to go a lot more! I'll be back soon anyw
Claw City in Katy has a spacious area with many claw machines. I bought 2 baskets of tokens but only managed to grab one prize. In my experience, the claw machines here are quite difficult compared to other places I've played, and each grab costs 3 tokens.
Appreciate the staff here. Wesley was excellent and super accommodating. Management, take notice of him. FYI, most machines are 3 coins per play. $50 gets you 100 tokens
The best! Staff are super friendly and helpful. They asked several times if we needed help, and readjusted the stack of plushies so my little one could win one! Will absolutely come back.
We had a wonderful time here. My son is 7 and had a blast. The person working there help my son so much. We will be back!
Cool claw machines. Bring the family and have some fun.
visit this place all the way from boston and it doesn't disappoint at all. wide range of selection and super cute stuffed animals. fun for a group of friends to play together ????
Staff was super friendly and welcoming! We had so much fun and came home with a lot of goodies and great memories :) There are a lot of machines to choose from with various character stuffed animals. Carts and baskets are available to hold your prizes as well.
Joined as a VIP and had a lot of fun. The cotton candy machine was great. Freshly made cotton candy is worth the sugar crash to come! Great time with the hubby & two young adult kids (18 & 22). Sunshine is the sweetest & very helpful ??
Very fun place to take your family! Lots of different plushie options and there are arcade games as well! David was really kind and helpful the whole time, it was greatly appreciated. Definitely recommend!
This place is awesome! Brought the little big ones in for some plushie madness. Love all the Kaws especially!
Such a FUN spot! The machines are actually winnable, the staff is friendly, and the vibes are great. Definitely one of the best arcades in Katy!
The employees are very kind so the stars are for them. My child had fun so it was worth it in that sense. We spent $60 (about 50 cents a token, each plushie game was 3 tokens worth for $1.50). and got 9 plushies. 4 of those plushies were from employees helping us with more optimal placement. 3 of them were grabbed by luck because the claw dropped it close enough to the edge where they fell. 3 of the plushies we got were Christmas and we are in April. All of them didn't have tags so I couldn't donate to the
We had an amazing time at this claw machine arcade! The place is packed with a variety of machines, offering everything from plush toys to collectibles. The atmosphere is bright, lively, and perfect for families. Even our daughter had a blast trying her luck, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The arcade is well-maintained, and the machines are fair compared to others we've tried. They even have some larger prize machines that add extra excitement! The prizes are high-quality, and we walked away
super cute place!! loved the atmosphere! employees are so nice
We had so much fun! The staff was super nice and very friendly. We won a handful of things we really loved! This was awesome! Even tho we didn't win every time it was fun to play and we still have tokens left to come back next time! Thanks Claw City!
I visited this claw machine place in Katy. They offer more coins for the price compared to the one down the street. However, it costs 3 coins to play each game, whereas the other place only requires 1 coin. Still a great place for the experience and it's a much larger space.
Very fun place for kids & adults... Helpful staff. Plenty of claw machines. Nice photo backgrounds.
This place is so much fun! For adults, kids, and the whole family. Our favorite arcade to visit. Juan is always a great help. He's very sweet, and helpful. He does a great job with explaning for beginners, and is always happy to help. Thank you!!
A place you always wanted as a millennial kid where most of the machines were claw machines. The games are affordable and the staff is very nice and helpful. Most of the claw prizes are plush toys, plastic figurines, and food! Definitely a place to take kids.
Worst experience ever at a claw machine place. I have been to many and they are fun because you at least have some chances to win but this location gives you NO CHANCES of winning. WASTE OF MONEY!!!! Never coming here again.
Fairly spacious, and the atmosphere was nice. The staff was friendly and was able to explain the token system that was easy to understand. If you plan to play a lot and think there's a chance you'll be back, i suggest getting the VIP card (more tokens for your buck). The quality of the plush is not the highest in the claw machines. You can tell that they're off brand - the same thing with the mini figurines. The prizes behind the counter when you trade in your plushes are more authentic, but I did not in
Very cool and unique atmosphere. It's refreshing to find an arcade with the plus side of having a TON of different neat prizes. Very fun experience for the kiddos and adults. They even have drinks, cotton candy, and a private karaoke booth! The staff were very helpful and supportive for making sure prizes are reachable in the machines.
Got two adorable stuffy?s while there! The atmosphere and employees are absolutely amazing! Will be coming back.
Very fun place the 3 tokens a play is abit pricy but the pay out rates aren't bad at all. Place is very clean and employees are very nice. Pic is what I was able to win with 40$
Our kids had a lot of fun. Thanks DAVID for being so nice and helpful!
This is place is really fun. I won a stuffed square cat for my daughter
I'd love to give this one lace 5 stars but there are two glaring issues in my opinion. We've gone to this location at least 8 times since we found it and certainly it's probably the better claw arcade around. SOME of the staff is very helpful especially with my son when he the claw isn't cooperating no matter how hard we try. This is my first issue. It's obvious the company itself has a ?help policy? at least for little kids where they will ?reset? the items inside to make it a little easier once some times
Ali with the red hair was so sweet, she was very helpful answering our questions even though we came near closing time.
That place is blasting fine! I thought I was gonna waste all my money but all my 3 kids got toys with a very reasonable price. Special thanks to Donavan who gave us a lot of instructions and explanations. Will come back for sure!
This is a brilliant place to be with friends and family or even alone. Its a place for anyone of all ages. My fianc? and I spent all evening here. Definitely coming back. I want to thank all the staff for being so welcoming and helpful.
Such a fun place! I love spinning the wheel for items, I actually won something which never happens to me.
This place is HUGE and their plushies are various. So ideal for friends night. Highly recommend!
Malaya and Nina were amazing & so sweet ! This location has a lot of space & variety. VERY CLEAN ! Love the quality of prizes & service from these 2 sweet young ladies !!!
I love coming here. I have seen that. It opened a few months ago and I was finally able to come here. It was so fun
Just awesome!!! Came today with the whole family we left with close to 20 plushies my wife and kids loved it. Will definitely have to save and return soon...
Nice interior design. Family visited twice and paid $30 to $50 to essentially win 1 or 2 small dollar items. Not quite worth the deal yet.
Initially was pretty impressed with Claw City, but after buying tokens and playing I definitely was not impressed. To many of the machines drop the prizes way to often when traveling to the prize shoot. Out of about 40 games, we had approximately 25 prizes that were picked up and would have been won in any other claw machine, drop on their way to the shoot for no reason other than the claws slamming up too fast to jar the toys out and/or the tension being set WAY too low compared to any normal claw machine
Literally am so addicted to coming to this place, love the prizes and it's so much fun!!
Much harder to get prizes now and it costs 3 coins per claw machine making it difficult to get many prizes. They also use to be friendly and help you win the prizes if you struggled, but now they do not assist anymore. My friend and I struggled on a machine for a long time with no assistance and they only watched us (we were one of the only ones there). Wish they were like before where it was easier to get prizes and they were more willing to help like in the past...now it feels like they only want your mon
Good place to keep your family entertained. GREAT STAFF (Yvan has bubbly energy and a beautiful smile) . Extra nice but thats the norm for the store. Would go back if i didnt live so far away. ??
A colorful and fun place! Recommendable for all ages! The prices are beautiful, the prizes are amazing and trendy, and the cotton candy is delectable! Would come here again.
We had an amazing time! The variety of claw machines kept the kids entertained for a long time, and the atmosphere was so fun and family-friendly. The staff was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Highly recommend for a fun outing!
Machines are rigged. Stay away!! Update to owner response- they adjust plushies, but your machines payout settings are done by owner. Toys big and claws small, all is mis match. Some Machine drops the toy with drifts during moving. Payout settings of each machines are very low, claws have dropping mechanisms even when its a hold of toy. 40$- 72tokens worth of coins, 3token per machine, 24 tries, Not a single catch in claw. Saw many sad people around me. We are pretty good in claw machines. Better go to C
Great little place. Even managed to get one of the anime blind boxes (never had that happen before). Happy to see more places (seemingly better payout rate than Claw Mania on the opposite side of the shopping center, though I may have just been unlucky)
We walked out with only a few prizes one of the girls came out and told us she noticed we didn't get much and offered us a ton of free coins and gave us a TON of free stuffed animals when we didn't win. They had very kid friendly plushies such as paw patrol and bluey. The staff was great! I would go there again.
This place has really cute plush! Much better quality than other places I've been. And the staff are really friendly!
So very disappointed. Perhaps my expectations had been way too high from all the reviews saying people they win so much and the fact they have shopping carts. We won 12 total (but really only 2 were gotten on our own) for $100. The employees were so helpful, and they gave us the other 10 (by helping put them on the edge for another try). They were the typical grab and slip machines. I had 2 kids in tears and I was fuming, so I went to the car. Then my husband asked the employee to help and that's when he he
I absolutely LOVE this place! We went here for my daughters birthday & had an absolute blast!! The ladies working were amazing & so helpful. If I could give 10 stars I would. Will definitely be back
Awesome customer service and extremely helpful. Malaya was extremely helpful and very sweet! Will definitely be joining again. My kids had an awesome time!
The staff was soo nice. We had a great time here!!
Came here for the first time with my kids. Games were a little difficult, but David was a blessing even shaking it up to make it easier for the kids to get the plusges. He was very helpful and kind. We will be back for sure
RAAAHHHH CLAW CITYYY, love it here, the lighting, the backdrop of stuffed animals makes for a great photo op. Love the prize choices, definitely a fun place to bring kids during the summer!
I love this place so much! So many fun toys!
10/10 experience! Thanks to Donovan and Sunshine! Yall made our night! Brought my neices and nephews for their first claw experience. Stayed for 3 hrs working towards the goal of bringing home a giant plushie! Kids are smiling ear to ear all the way home. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly every step of the way! Would highly recommend for any families looking for a fun afternoon
I thought the price for tokens was good until I watched people repeatedly grabbing & raising prizes only to have the claws open & immediately drop them. Claws too small or too big, no grip, items too big and no variety. Employees watched as people became frustrated but no one offered help? Their items were cheap & they offered no ?guaranteed? prizes for tokens. We tried it once but won't return. Claw Fun was so much better - more fun & quality for the price.
The employees here are really kind & sweet. My kids always ask to stop by after dinner in Katy. You'll definitely have fun & win lots of plush animals. Become a VIP & get a card. It's worth it since you can withdraw coins over multiple visits. The employees made my son?s day ?? My little guy won a Spider-Man headband & he's sporting it with joy. My 9 year old won over 6 plush animals all by herself but she traded them in to get mommy some Sanrio sandals! ??
Beautiful location with a lot more machines. Workers are nice. Very expensive to play. Each game is 3 tokens and the machines feel rigged. The claw shakes a lot which drops the stuff animals. Spent $50 and only went home with 3 toys. Yeah gonna just make the drive to china town Claw Mania Kingdom, more bang for buck.
Fun place to hang out! They have a lot of cute plushies, karaoke room, and different kind of claw machine!
This place is great! Staff is really friendly, helped us out a lot with the machines. Place is really clean too and big, they're very consistent. OVERALL would definitely come again with all my friends
My daughter absolutely loves this place. Great staff and awesome prize selection.
love this place! yes it is a challenge but it's worth the experience! the staff is so kind as well!
DON'T COME HERE I've been to so many claw places all around houston and they're all One coin per play, EXCEPT this place. Here its 3 coins per play! THIS PLACE IS A RIP OFF
This place is really huge and they have so many machines to play from. The staff was super friendly. I will definitely come back again.
I absolutely loved this place, it's like a modern old school claw machine experience. Very clean stablishment, very organized. Customer service is excellent, people working there were very welcoming and helpful. My daughter and I will definitely come back soon! Oh and I can't forget to mention the cool prizes. It's like the cherry on top ?? 10/10 recommend.
The kids had a blast here so much fun. Juan was super sweet and helped us out. Other associates also helped out and were super polite
This place is amazing!!! If you watch a lot of k dramas, you've probably seen them go to arcades like this in dramas. I'm so excited to have a place like this close by!! We won a ton of stuff! It's awesome. 10/10 recommend for a good time!
I came here for my birthday, and let's just say you're better off going to Bellaire for a claw machine place. Each machine takes 3 TOKENS, which is a lot. The claws also don't have grips and plushies were very hard to get. I had to ask the employees several times to help me because it was so difficult. And then, when I asked to trade something out because I won a toy and wanted a different one from the SAME MACHINE, one employee said he ?didn't have the key? and the other said ?his boss got pissed at him la
Super cute and fun! Great selection of prizes! Staff is a couple of sweethearts as well
Love this place! Got the cutest capybara and the workers are so sweet!
Great workers that make your child feel special and win a prize every time
This place is SUPER cute and you can win adorable plushies and other prices. I HIGHLY recommend you all come by this place when you can to check this place out!
This place is a lot of fun! Malaya helped us obtain prizes that were giving us a hard time. My husband and I had a blast!
So much fun! Employees are so helpful and friendly. My kids love to come here. Check it out everyone!
Don't waste your money here. Each machine requires 3 tokens. Paid $100 for 240 tokens and walked away with only 3 plushies. The claw for each machine grabs the pulshie, but RARELY gets pulled up. The times the claw actually picked up a plushie, it drops it as soon as it moves to the dispenser hole! Go to Claw Mania and Claw Wonderland in bellaire/chinatown. Worth the money and actually walk away with a bag full of plushies for $100 worth of tokens.
??WARNING?? HIGHLY ADDICTIVE! -Items get changed every 2 weeks! -Membership option: you can save your tokens or ?points? (plush items) for future usage or trading
Great machines here! There aren't just claw machines, but others as well, which means tons of rewards (plushies, snacks, etc.) and entertainment. Kinda cool that there are a few machines that allow you to obtain more tokens in a plinko type of way combined with jackpot.
Staff went above and beyond to make all the games fun and rewarding. They were amazing in helping increase winning chances and helpful with tricks to increase likelyhood of winning. A lot of fun. Highly recommend.
There are so many claw arcades in the area, this is the worst one. The buttons are glitchy so the claws don't even go all of the way down before coming back up. Many of the machines have the same prizes. There isn't a lot of variety. The coolest thing about this place is the statue of Luffy when you first walk in, otherwise one star
came here because i saw a post on instagram that they had legitimate licensed products to trade your won plushies out for, like sonny angel & labubu. got some sonny angel & even asked the worker if they were real legitimate licensed products, was told yes, and these are the FAKEST sonny angels I've ever seen. biggest waste of money and will literally never return
First time here, came all the way from Friendswood. Heard good reviews, so I decided to stop by and took my little cousin. We both had a good time. One of the employees name Lany was so sweet and helpful. I'll prob come back here soon to win more stuffed animals I don't need lol
We had so much fun at this place. Since we walked in everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Laney (I think that is how you spell it lol) was so friendly and helpful during our visit.
Really loved the vibe and aesthetic of this location. The staff was friendly and super helpful. They would walk around and rearrange any machines they felt needed and they sensed my toddlers disappointment when she didn't win anything so they came and helped us rearrange a few times. We joined as a VIP and really like that it's essentially a card that is reloadable and you can cash out the coins whenever. Love that they have little carts and baskets for your prizes. We spent $100 and unfortunately, we left
Awesome time! Staff is great, place is clean, just a little hot, but it was a great time and my daughter loved it!
The staff was friendly and attentive. They continually helped our four-year-old daughter by setting up the stuffies for the claws to grab, and when we failed many times in a row, they were kind enough to spot us tokens or even invoke The Mercy Rule to gracefully gift us a difficult-to-grab stuffie. The employees are full of grace and compassion and we are grateful for their service.
My girlfriend and I decided to check out Claw City in Katy for some fun after dinner, but it was really disappointing. We only spent $10, but the machine we played didn't even try to grab the toy?it felt rigged. We've played similar claw machines in Chinatown that were way better. Not sure why there are so many five-star reviews, but it felt like a scam to us.
So many cute plushies available! Very clean and spacious as well.
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.”
