Customer Reviews

This was such a fun experience and surrounded by other great establishments for food, drinks, and quick shopping. A cultivation of Asian cuisines all over the place. The arcade itself was smaller than I thought but the guy running it was so kind and the entire place is well kept and clean which is a huge plus. Super fun place for date night or quick run in with your kiddos. Will definitely be back.

Fun little claw machine arcade at Asian Times Square. We went here as a backup after Clawzilla in Arlington was closed and we had a great time. Got tons of stuffed animals and traded about half of them in for a big one. The claw machines are fair and seem to be based on skill. The employee was nice as well. (Only recommendation is to take better care of the bathroom, as it didn't have any soap or paper towels.)

I had an amazing time here! The claw machines were so fun to play and were super fair. This super sweet worker with blonde hair, I think her name was Peyton, was very helpful as well. 10/10 recommend and will be visiting again soon!

I won multiple times and got prizes like this loops troopa!!! Very nice and fun game place!

So much fun!!!! The attendant was very helpful with fluffing the machines.

this is the best arcade i ever went to, the workers are very nice and i have a great time! it had nice ac, cool floors, cool karaoke area and i always won! would recommend

What a super cute, fun place to share a good time with family and friends! The machines have a variety of adorable stuffies and prizes to win. While the atmosphere is great, Andre is what really makes the experience here worth returning to. He was so kind, helpful, and energetic. He presented himself as if he truly wanted to be there and wanted you to have the most memorable and fun experience you could. He was so very sweet to every single person (not to mention made each child so happy and want to continu

We were really lost coming here but Jennifer did a great job helping us navigate the store and help us better get plushies. The store itself was fun and the kids enjoyed every moment. A must go when in Asian Time Square.

Such cute plushies and great environment!

Super fun place to take friends! Peyton and Elizabeth helped my son get better every time he tried!

Located on top of the Asian Times Square food court it's a place 3rd space to just hangout with family and friends. Fair prices and really cute plushies. Will be coming back!!!!!

Fun place and they help fluff the toys so the kids can be successful. Nice staff.

Many claw machines with a variety of plushies including sanrio characters. The machines are much nicer to you than in Round1. The staff are super nice and helpful as well. They get new plushies every two weeks so it's constantly fresh. They also have a lot of good trade-in options including very large plushies and unique plushies. There's also a photo area.

Amazing place!! Workers are very helpful. Cool trade ins!

Best arcade, you actually win prizes. And people there are nice

11/10 wonderful experience, and a lot of fun. Clark was amazing and super helpful. I would 110% recommend anyone in the area to come here and have a wonderful time playing the claw machines.

chris let me change my plush for the color i wanted !

Very friendly staff, great overall experience.

Amazing place. Love the customer service. Amazing employees. Beautiful items/prizes.

Holy moly I spent so much money here

It was horrible didn't win anything. Everytime it picked up the plush it just dropped it! 1 Star because it was very rigged!

I love coming here, one of the employees Chris helped me wonderfully as did everyone else. I love seeing what new things they have every time I come here!

Jennifer made our experience amazing!! She was so nice and so quick to help us! We will definitely come back!

Such a fun time There aren't many places that have claw games and this place offers so many cute plushes. The staff is very kind. 10/10 would recommend as a cute experience for friends and even family. Will definitely be back again soon.

Had an amazing time! Visiting from out of town and really wish we had one of these in Atlanta!

This place is so good and I love this place. They saved my mom and stopped my dad from getting shot. W goated arcade

I absolutely love this arcade, claw machines have always been a favorite of mine when it comes to arcades! This place offers a variety of prizes from many machines and I love the loyalty program where you can trade in your caught prizes for points to exchange for bigger prizes. The staff are also very helpful because if you have trouble catching a particular prize because it's out of range or buried under many others, they can adjust it for you so your favorite prize can be easier to catch. I would definite

had so much fun here, prices were very good compared to like round one, staff was super helpful

Stumbled on this place by accident and I am glad I did! Staff are super friendly and helpful especially Andre. Great experience and service all around

Cool place and cool plushies. Like the anime ones

Hidden gem in Asia times square! Staff was very helpful. Great place for a spontaneous date night. Will come back again

Great crane Game Center. Staff are very friendly and want you to succeed. We had a blast and my wife went on a hot streak!

Such a fun place! Been here a few times w/ my family & everyone enjoys the claw machines. We weren't as lucky today, but Clark was super helpful & made sure we won something! Great customer service. We will definitely be back soon! ??

Not only is this arcade extremely fun and very winnable (my wife and I spent $100 and won 22 prizes), the staff have always been kind and helpful. My last visit I had a brain moment and forgot my credit card at the location, the employee Andre quickly looked up my name off the account and called me to let me know. Extremely grateful for Andre and the staff, we have been twice and will continue to visit regularly.

Cool claw machine place! Staff guy with long hair cool too ??

Had a great time. First time playing these. Chris made the environment very lively.

Amazing place fun and jennefer is an angel from god helping us out!

Such a fun place to hang out!!! Our first time here and we won so much. Definitely will come back

The staff are very sweet and the ability to trade in plushies is a great plus!

We had a great time here. It was smaller than I thought but the games were all fun and my daughter left with a ton of plushies! I like the trade in program so if you want, you can get different plushies.

Very cozy and cute lil place, had a great time here with a friend. Perfect weekend activity!

Machines are rigged more then other places , also cost 2 coins per play which is also double other places I've been.the prizes looked good assuming you can win. This is my second time there to make sure the first time wasn't a fluke.

I love this place! I come almost every weekend and the machines are easy to win

This place so good Jennifer was very helpful. This place is a good hang out spot to hang out with your friends and family.

Best place ever! Chris was so helpful when my kids were having a meltdown.

We were able to win a few plushies but we had to spend at least 20$. Some of the claws made it look like we were going to get an item and it would drop midway. Feels somewhat rigged honestly.

Had a very good time and Andre was a really good help and very friendly person

If you need a spot to hang out then clutch ems is the place!! 100% recommend!!!!!!

Worth the trip! Tons of small & medium prizes in the machines & you can trade your wins in for a bigger prize at the end if you choose.

best time ever, worker gave us an amazing experience

Super cute and friendly can't wait

This place is completely rigged. I spent $50 and my daughter was able to win one plushie. We captured several plushies so secure. It was an absolute win, but the crane opens up and drops intentionally. What a waste of time and money. Most of these positive reviews must be a scam. I'll see if I can post a video.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! The staff were super sweet and nice the entire time I was there. A lot of claw machine places feel like scams but I had the opposite experience here. Not only was I winning more than I feel I usually do at arcades, but all the stuffed toys in the machines were very cute and worth the money I put into it. The entire area that the arcade is in is great. Lots of amazing food and drink options which really helped create a well rounded experience. I definitely recommend this place!

Best place, won a plushie easily

Such a fun, cheap experience.

Super fun! Nice to have more claw Machine arcades here in Dfw. Really nice staff.

this place is awesome. Elizabeth was super helpful and chill.

Super fun place for kids and adults. Just take my money!!!!!

chris is the best worker here if u go here go to him he is the best

staff was super helpful my first time coming here!

Amazing customer service!! Fun place!

Top tier, top notch, good stuff, dope ass prizes

Cool place to have fun!

Fun place to hang out !

So fun and such cute plushies!

It was my first time going there and they're were all these cute prizes, they're wasn't a lot but it was probably my timing. And it's kinda hard to spot unless you're casual looking around but it's a very pretty and nice area they have set up so far, and I can't wait for them to be fully expanded and have even more fun.

Love this place!!! It always has the best workers and prizes.

Staff was nice and got lots of prizes

Awesome place for family! Jennifer was very helpful!

Awesome place! Jennifer is amazing and very friendly!

the workers here are so kind!! specifically the ones working today at 5 PM. and the area and plushies are so cute!!

Such a fun and cute place! Went during Lunar New Year celebration and the prizes were dragon themed for year of the dragon, sooo cute! Lots of variety and all the plushies were adorable :))

Clutchem is so fun for ily and jennifer is super awesome and helpful.

Love this place! Super fun claw machines and trade ins.

had a very fun time here bringing the team!

10/10 will come back very friendly staff. Me and my sister have a lot of fun! We got a bag full of plushies!

This place is amazing and so fun!! It's also conveniently on top of the Asian Time Square Food court! Their selection of plushies are by far the cutest!! I travel for crane games and I always come back here because it's so cute. They're currently having a Lunar New Year theme plushies and it's very thoughtful! You can also trade in and get bigger plushies and they give you a clear draw string bag to hold all your plushies which is a reusable bag. So very eco friendly!

Very good place, been going here since they are open. although don't always win everything, can honestly said the win chances are enough. Been able to win the super big items twice so far.

Super cute stuffies!

Came out of town from California and this was the perfect place to hang out. Would definitely come back and recommended for everyone...ALL AGES! ANDRE WAS A BIG HELP.

Awesome! We come every week

had a lot of fun coming here with friends!

Trade-in system is very cool ???? The small prizes are so easy to win and you can trade it in for a bigger prize with their point system. Very friendly and encouraging staff, will definitely come again!

A disappointing experience. Claws either empty or not working. Machines that were working kept dropping prizes. Minimal selection on trade in options. Will not visit again.

This place is in such a great area and the prizes are probably for the best prize

I love Chris and i had so much fun

Cutest plushies and staff was so nice! Andre was such a big help. Clean and kid-friendly.

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.”
