Customer Reviews

Claw & Fun is such a fun and laid-back arcade! The atmosphere is super chill?perfect for hanging out, playing some claw machines, and trying your luck at winning prizes. But what really made the experience awesome was the customer service. Iriya and Josh were both incredibly sweet, kind-hearted, and beyond helpful. They made sure I had everything I needed and were just genuinely great people to be around. It's rare to find staff who go above and beyond like they did. If you're looking for a fun place with g

We brought our grandkids here and for a $60 investment you would've thought they won the lottery. Every time they won the celebration was infectious. Don't get it twisted we all know this is 50 Cent toys from China and the markup is phenomenally high, but that being said the kids had a absolute ball. You're paying for the experience not the merchandise. Please keep that in mind. I'll be back.

Had lots of fun with my friend! Definitely hair puller but still won with just 20 coins 5 prizes!!!! Definitely recommend not only kids but so fun for adults to de-stress!!!

It's okay. The staff is helpful but when I brought up that I wanted to switch a plushie for a different one in the same crane machine they denied it. I didn't realize there was fake and real plushies in the same machine. You can tell which are fake if they say Made In China with no Chiikawa tag. After spending $100 in total, will not be back.

First time playing here with all the kids and it was definitely fun! We were in there for an hour & walked out with 3 bags full of cute plushies & they're all great quality! I love the Christmas themed ones????

Had so much fun! The games are pretty fair and they have such cute characters to win! Most of them are really good quality too!

Hello everyone. I want to share with you all an interesting destination that we always drop by when we have free time. There are many interesting models and many lovely stuffed animals here.

Best Arcade place in Katy. My family and I have been coming here for a long time and even though more arcades are opening up around them, this is the best one. Come here if you want to win a lot and have fun.

So we went on Saturday(4/12/25), and had THE ABSOLUTE worst experience. We bought the $100 package, which gives you about 130 coins to play with. They have a trade up system like most of the claw arcades around, but out of 130 coins, we LITERALLY didn't keep 1 single prize we won. We only won a total of 14 prizes between 2 adults and 2 children(aged 12 and 4), but I will say I spent 10 of the coins on the Gatcha machine for a Garfield Plush Keychain for my daughter. But out of 120 coins we only win 14 prize

This place is cute and have a lot of cute stuff in the claw machines, that's why my son likes to come here. However, it's hard to claw stuff here comparing to other claw places. So many times we got it and the claw opened it up and dropped them down. Sigh? look at the video to see what I meant. Wasted money!! 2 stars for cleanliness.

Friendly staff! Games had awesome prizes. My boys loved this place. And you can trade in plushies for points towards various statues and collectibles!! Will come back for sure!

This place is amazing! Nolan and the other staff was super attentive and were always super helpful. They also have a cool point system for other prizes that's worth checking out. They also have a variety of gachapons and seasonal claws as well. Me and my family will definitely be back to see them! Update: just went again today and had a blast again! Savanna, Mack, and Alyssa were amazing and interacted when our boys when they got a little unruly and recognized us when we walked in the door! We absolutely l

Squishmallows! My girls and I love claw games. We tend to go there to celebrate accomplishments and birthdays for them. We've visited all three places in Katy Asia Town, and this one was by far our favorite. It wasn't as easy to win as it is in Clawmania Bellaire, but the staff there is so helpful and willing to help rearrange stuff so you can win. They would see us struggling and would just come move the stuff around. This doesn't mean you win every single time. Sometimes it still drops the toy, but

Should change the setting on the machines so that people can win at least 50% of the time. We were only able to win 1 small plushie here. Have been to many others where the chances of winning were at least 50% of the of the time making it more exciting and fun than walking out with 1 small plushie. Not sure if we want to come back if it doesn't change.

Really gave me nostalgia. The machines are fair - I was able to grab quite alot with 20$. Quite fun.

We were able to rent the facility for an hour before they opened for my daughter?s birthday party. Everything was clean and well kept. The staff was amazing and very attentive. They definitely helped ensure we could have the best experience possible. Everyone had nothing but great things to say and we all enjoyed our time at this location.

manager was super helpful and willing to help with the previous issue that i had. thank you so much! place is super fun.

The staff working the floor were welcoming and helpful. The machines... SCAM. When the claw raises with the prize 9 times out of 10 it opens slightly to drop the prize before it moves to the drop hole! I called this to the managers attention and was told that's just how the machines are programmed. $50 wasted!

Love the place!!! A lot of fun for the whole family. We have a 5 year old boy he LOVES Pokemon stuff. He used to go to HEB to play the claw machine. The quality of the stuffy is great! Great for a Friday night or Saturday family time. It's close to many yummy restaurants as well. Super convenient

Amazing little spot for the kiddos. Friendly staff and new inventory added frequently. Would 100% recommend!

I love coming here and wish I lived closer! It's a lot of fun, and there is a reasonable amount of win/lose ratio for the claw machines. Every employee was super kind and super helpful.

Claw & Fun is my new favorite place in all of Katy and Houston! I look forward to going every weekend. The workers and owner are so kind, friendly, and genuinely interested in customers having a great time. They do weekly raffles whenever you spend $100 on tokens and raffle off really cool prizes. But what I love most is that you can trade back in the plushies you win from the crane games to accumulate points toward other things, like intricate anime figurines/models. I just wish the place was a bit bigger,

The payout odds are pretty bad compared to other places - and the prize selection I think is also pretty small in comparison to many of the places you'd find at Bellaire. Wouldn't come back. Also, the free promotional blind box capybara was broken when I opened it ??

This place is full of joy and excitement for all ages! The staff is incredible! They are very passionate for the players and truly want everyone to win! Nolan and Aidan definitely made my children smile when they started losing hope in the claw machines. All of my kids walked out smiling, and we had an unforgettable memory of this place. We can't wait to come back again! Amazing customer service, friendly atmosphere!

Soooo much fun!!!! Sooo many cute plushies!!! We had a blast and all the employees are super friendly. Nolan is the best employee helping the little kiddos . Great family fun and can't wait to go back!

All of the prices consist of bootleg items from aliexpress but the claw drops the item even if yoy manage to pick up something the claw drops it. Tokens are a dollar each which isn't bad since the claws themselves only need one token to play. The ones from the machines coested 7 tokens for stuff from aliexpress. Every single thing was a bootleg item. Other than that prices were good and experience with employees was good too. Just the prizes themselves and the expirence of playing the machines was what ruin

Very fun and friendly place. It's not a large space. The staff is super friendly and engaging. Nice place but not a place for hours of fun. Highly recommend for simple quick fun. It's a fun place to visit. I will return.

Very fun place! The staff here are really nice, and will even help rearrange the plushes for you so you have a better chance at winning! I'll definitely tell all my friends to come check this place out!

I looked on the claw and fun tiktok and their manager did a silly little wave and when I came to the store she did that exact wave when I walked in and I was so happy! She made my day! Savannah is the best employee and she was so helpful too!

This place was fun! A lot of little options and not too expensive. I do wish the claw machines weren't as rigged though ?? or maybe I just suck. LOL. We were able to get one plushie. There weren't too many people, since really you'd take about 30min- an hour. Not really any lines either. Fun place to stop by!

Amazing staff, and so much fun! We stoped by after lunch to check it out and we were not disappointed! My daughter and her friends collected so many prizes. Even me and the other adults had so much fun trying to get the prizes. The staff had such great energy, and they helped ensure that we had a fun time as well. We are now addicted and will be back for more!

Claw and Fun Arcade is a gem for arcade enthusiasts! The variety of prizes up for grabs is mind-blowing, catering to all skill levels with their engaging claw games. The sleek and modern ambiance adds to the overall experience, making every visit a memorable one. Their dedication to authentic claw games and gacha machines is truly commendable, setting them apart from the rest. If you're looking for a fun time and a chance to win some cool prizes, this is the place to be!

Had so much fun! Such a fun time!!! Its a great destresser for adults too. Definitely easy/ medium to win prizes. Recommend for all ages. Staff was so friendly and attentive.

Exciting New Claw Machine Arcade in Katy's Chinatown I recently had the pleasure of visiting the new claw machine arcade located next to Katy's Chinatown, and it was an experience worth sharing. The first thing that stands out is the ample parking space, which makes the arcade easily accessible for families and groups. The arcade is immaculately clean and brightly lit, creating a welcoming atmosphere for visitors of all ages. The variety of claw machines and prizes is impressive, catering to a wide range

All the workers were so helpful and worked to ensure the environment was very inclusive. They would always help me out if I was struggling on a plush! Also happy pride month!

Lots of fun! Great variety of plushies, loyalty program is A+ and they help you out if you're struggling! Would highly recommend.

Such a cute place. A lot of fun. I especially love the pok?mon plushes!!

Well worth the price - lots of fun, lots of challenge but rewarding prizes. Nothing rigged. Many high quality items & a variety of guaranteed prize machines for a few more tokens - for claw challenged people. The employees were friendly. So much better than Claw City.

So fun and affordable! Came out with a couple of full bags! Most claw machines are 1 token. We got 22 tokens for $20. They also had the regular machines that you twist for a prize. My kids got a ton of those. Highly recommend this place!

Claw games are in right now! This one has alot of games but a bit more challenging bc the claw spins when grabbing the toy. We won 3 on our first visit. There are value deals when cashing in 20$ and up.

Kiddo and I visited yesterday and had a great time. Well stocked machines that weren't too difficult to win a prize with.

This place is pretty awesome! Went with my family and my two kiddos and blew through $120 in about 15 minutes with 4 MASSIVE bags of cute plush toys. The concept is quite awesome and a bit silly if you're used to claw games. Claw games are rigged to make you spend a ton of cash and come away empty handed. Claw and fun is a different story. There are very friendly employees that walk around and help cordially set up the toys into the most advantageous position to win, with even knocking toys into the slot fo

Great place to spend money and play! Almost all are one token to play. However, some claws are weak and some toys are heavy. I had some toys fall on my face too. Overall it was a good time for my girls

Had so much fun!!! This is a great place to bring your game and claw loving kiddos. Mine is 7 and he absolutely loved it... Look at everything we got!! Amazing customer service also... Thank you!

Pretty cool store. Prices are fair on the coins. It cost about $1 for 1 coin, crane games cost 1 coin. I think everyone knows how crane games work, not every play is a win. This store has pretty fair chances so you'll likely get a prize. Prizes are cool and they have a large variety, they also have a good membership program that's free to sign up for. Great for a date, a kids day, or solo.

We unexpectedly spotted this place while trying to find something to eat, we are so glad we stopped by. We got a couple of plushies, had a good time and will most likely be coming back. The staff is very friendly. Machines are a coin per play compared to the other claw machine place in the same area which was 3 or more coins. We felt the claw machines were pretty easy to use, and definitely have a chance of winning.

Similar to Claw city the next block over. Beautiful location with a lot more machines. Workers are nice. Very expensive to play. Each game is 2 tokens and the machines feel rigged. The claw shakes a lot which drops the stuff animals and wide claw that makes it very difficult to win anything. Spent $50 and only went home with 2 toys. Yeah gonna just make the drive to china town Claw Mania Kingdom, more bang for buck.

It was fun, but it's not easy to get things, especially if it's a little bit heavy. I do understand that you aren't going to get things on the first try. The machines seemed to be packed together pretty tightly, so it may be much more difficult for younger kids. My child had almost lost faith after spending 20 tokens and not getting one thing. Alas, we finally got our first "win" after that, though.

Great experience! Nolan and Briana were great and helpful with tips and tricks :) they WANT you to win!! ?? great place to stop on a date / bring kids, definitely walked out with maybe too many prizes

The claw machines are very fair and you win so many prizes. You can either keep your plushies or trade them in for other great prizes. Great experience overall!

My best friend and I had a WONDERFUL experience at our first claw machine shop. Our most helpful attendant, Nolan, introduced us to the layout and procedures for the machines and was super attentive throughout our visit! He even rearranged some toys when we had spent money to no avail. Truly a fun and unique experience for kids and adults alike! Will be back 10/10. Thank you Nolan, Jungkook for life <3

My daughter and I love this place. Staff is amazing.

We had great experienced on both 2x that we went. The staff were great and you can request for them to place the plushy where it's a bit easier for you to win it. The kids were happy and all had plushy to bring home not just one but multiple plushies. Thank you claw and fun

Have to give a few stars because not all the machines are this way and it was still relatively affordable, but for the most part this place is a scam. Most machines drop your catch as they pull it up. Almost all machines were virtually unwinnable (unless the employees put the prize right next to the chute, which they were doing frequently). In comparison to the MANY other claw machine arcades in the greater Houston area, this one is definitely not the best or even near so. Claw mania kingdom in Bellaire is

This place is the best, even though I live in the Sugar Land area, I prefer to head here, on my days off. The staff is awesome and friendly, the machines are fair, when compared to other claw places, i my opinion.

Great way to treat your customer! So it's 8.55pm they close at 9pm, I ask if it's still good to come, they say of course, so he waited until I paid to let me know that in 5 min he will close to computer and not let me trade.. a bit surprising but ok, I said I guess I can come back another day to do the trading and he said no, once you walk out, you are not allow to trade... Wow! You couldn't let me know before I pay? What kind of crappy move is that? Wait for I pay to tell me I have 5 min to play, and of co

Love coming here with my kiddos! Great selection of toys to win, as well as trades. We always have a great experience here!

I had so much fun here and was able to win most of the things I wanted after a few tries. If the items are in an odd position the staff will readjust it for you too! Everyone was so kind and there are some very quality prizes!! They change out the prizes fairly often as well so I'm always excited to come back and see what's new. Shoutout to Ben for helping us out!

My daughter and I always have the best time! The staff is very helpful! 10/10 recommend checking this place out! It's our fav claw machine place!

This place is not just for kids! We came here since we where in the area and as soon as we came in the staff was friendly and helpful. The staff will even rearrange the items to make sure that you have an easier time winning a prize. Special shout out to the staff member, Aiden, who was cheering my friend on when she was trying to win enough plushies to trade it in for a bigger prize! We had so much fun and will definitely be coming back!

Loved it here! Went with my siblings and boyfriend and we all left with something under our arms. Workers are super attentive! Over all fun and memorable.

The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is lively, and it's the perfect spot for some fun competition with friends. Highly recommend for anyone who loves claw games.

Super fun with my wife here and we won so many prizes LOL check photos absolutely fun!! Staff super friendly and nice ! Also noticed some helping kids who can't win after spending some tokens

First time visiting, we just randomly walked in and we had a great time. Workers were very friendly and hospitable. Would ?? recommend for anyone. Will come back !

Seems quite new, but the process is simple and quite addictive and fun! Money = tokens and a token is generally equal to $1 though they come in packages. Majority of the machines are 1 token required and if you are particularly good at claw machines this is quite a steal. I spent $15 and walked away with four decent size plushies that normally would?ve cost me that much individually. If you want you can trade in for unique collectible figures based on a point system if you don't want the plushies. It's fast

Randomly ran into their grand opening, very glad we did. The had a blast pulling prizes from the machines! A very cool & fun experience! Thank you guys!

We had so much fun trying for stuffies in the claw machine!! The products are good sized and high quality, and you can get a lot with $20! The staff was friendly and helpful, and we had a great experience!!

I rarely leave reviews on places but I simply must. They have great staff, super nice and friendly. Me and my best friend went. Had to have help to get plushies unstuck and coins lost under they were quick to aid both times. they were on their A game and provided a super fun chill experience. Really incredible. Will be back for sure!

Each game is ONE coin and they have a cute selection of plushes. They had a lot of Pok?mon and more boy centered plushes, which other claw machines, usually cater more to girls. They did have some Sanrio characters and also mini squish mellows!

Fun little date spot or just to hang out with the kiddos. Very reasonable price for a game and the stuff animals are all so adorable ??

Such a cool place! The kids love playing the claw games. An elevated experience from the childhood version of claw games we grew up with.

Employees were very helpful, they even placed the plushies in good positions so I could win after I missed a bunch. good vibes

We visited 3 claw places in this shopping center and Claw & Fun was by far the best. The price is straightforward - $1 a token and each claw game is 1 token. We spent $10 and won 2 plush toys and also used 2 tokens to get a Lego figure from a gumball type machine. The claws are fair - not loose or fast. We will return again. Do not waste your time or money at the other places where claws open when you pick up a prize or move so fast that they fling toys around.

It was fun! Me and my family has a lot of fun one thing was that the claw machine was rigged we tried 21 times and didn't get any thing but overall it was ok we went to the gacha pan and got a few thing but only spent half an hour over there not sure if going to come again

Very fun date! The staff are very friendly and helpful. They even made the claw machines a little easier for us. We will definitely be back

The prizes you can get for points are all fake, they all cost lots of points but they're fakes. Including their figures and labubus! Never turn your stuffed animals in for points!

My kids love this place. You are definitely going to win here. Only negative is you just want to keep winning! Which means more $$.

Place is pretty fun and okay in price but the workers in the front are bitchy they don't smile and just look like they hate everyone. I get having bad days but when you're at work you smile at people and don't have an attitude please tell the workers in front to fix their attitudes (the black girl and white girl with red hair)

I have good experience in Claw and fun! I struggled to pick the plushies up then Brianna came and helped me. She was so nice! All the staff here is so friendly and the place looks so good and clean!

UPDATE: we recently went back and had a great time. Of course, we did not win every time but it was enough to feel like our $100 was justified. Our toddler had an amazing time and loves all her plushies and gacha toys she received. ORIGINAL: Be prepared to spend a lot of money. We paid for $70 worth of tokens and it was gone within 15-20 minutes. Toddler had fun but the adults did not. Staff was nice and helpful. They can help rearrange the dolls so we have a chance to get them which is very nice. The iss

Brought my boys and had a blast! Only takes a few tries to win plushies with the claw machines! The gacha machines are nice too!

Machines mostly cost 2 tokens. All machines are stingy. Watched claws fully open and drop prizes so many times. Bobo Claw around the corner is better if you are interested in a claw machine place??.

Who needs a casino in Houston when you can go here. Make sure to ask about their points system. Great staff (shoutout to Nolan!).

We had a blast here with the kids! The workers were so nice and helpful!! The place has great music and vibes!!! We will definitely be back!!

Our entire family LOVES claw & fun! We have gone multiple times and the staff are wonderful. They always make sure our kids have a great time and, as a parent, it genuinely means the world. Aiden, Ashley, Ben, and Nolan were some of the name tags we saw but all of the staff are so sweet! They seem to rotate their inventory quite a bit and have a wide range of toys that are actually currently popular. We will definitely keep going to claw & fun and so grateful to have a place like this in Katy!

Absolutely loved this place and I am already planning my next visit definitely got our money's worth the staff was so friendly the location wasn't big but had room to roam it wasn't over crowded if you are a hello kitty fan the prizes are worth it I went down the way to claw city and had a completely different experience

Amazing claw machine location! Girlfriend and I had a blast playing the claw machines and gacha capsules! You get a more tokens, the more money you spend!

This place is amazing and kid friendly! The staff is helpful and amazing as well. Definitely coming back soon

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

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.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

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.

What should I bring to an arcade?

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.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

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.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

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.

Are arcades still just for kids?

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.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

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.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

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.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
