This place is great! The employees are so nice and helpful. It was my first time going to this type of store and it was reasonably priced and they help you if you are struggling! Such a fun time. Saiah helped me so much definitely stop in and say hi!
So much fun! Employees are friendly and very welcoming. Highly recommend for all ages.
The items offered are all so cute! The atmosphere is clean, fun, & friendly. Saiah was very sweet, she was equally as happy for us to get our plushy!!
Very cool little place. We had fun. You get what you pay for. 3/10 claw wins. 8/10 fun. The cashier/attendant, Srimon was very sweet and helpful. I apologize if I misspelled her name. Would definitely bring my daughters here. Me and the gf had fun lol
Such a cute arcade and so many fun games! Srimon and Isaiah were very welcoming and helpful. Definitely recommend!
I'm from out of town and my boyfriend and I make sure to stop here every time we're in town! Such a fun stop during our trip!
Had no idea this arcade existed. We were hunting labubus and found only 1 left here. She's been having fun trying to get it and Lloyd has been an amazing host! Thank you. Very cool experience. Def will come again. ??
I've been here a few times but I went today with my 23 month old and fianc?e. I have to say the new manager is a super awesome dude. Really nice to my little one and even helped her win one of the games. Awesome job finding this dude.
Awesome place! Charming staff. So much fun!
Lloyd and his team were super friendly and made the experience super fun and welcoming. I can't thank him and his team enough for that amount of smiles and laughters I get from My nephews and nieces. We like to visit here on holidays and will be back! Go check them out you won't be disappointed I know I wasn't Thank You prince Ufo catchers ????
Was a lot of fun! We love claw machines and were excited to see this when visiting the mall. The workers were very personable and helped out! We will be back!
This place is amazing! the music is great and the place is so nice and vibrant. All the workers are so nice as well, Lauren is super sweet!!
Place is amazing :) Saiah and Sage were so helpful and friendly to my 5yr old daughter :) We will def be back!
I love this place! Most of machines are super doable and the atmosphere is so bright and lively, definitely recommend!
Great place with great vibes. The workers were so so friendly and patient. Extremely clean, came into the store to see the workers checking around the store cleaning, specifically Saiah, very very fun!
I'm going to get a tad emotional with this review more so when I never leave reviews. So I've been in the store a few times and its always clean and bright. Tons of options. I come in with my severely disabled daughter Sarah. Most stores no one pays her anymind or ignore her. She is an adult in a big wheelchair. People get weird. The other day I came in and this young man was behind the counter working on something. Figured he was just gonna keep working and let us do our thing. He saw us and rose up im
This place is sooooooo much fun!!! My inner child was very happy. The employees were so welcoming, friendly, and helpful!! Highly recommend.
Sage is seriously so sweet and so helpful! I work in the mall and I always come to say hi even if I'm not playing thank you for creating a warm environment
My husband and I just stopped by, and I was genuinely surprised to find prizes I actually wanted in the claw machines?something I haven't experienced at other places! Even though we're just visiting, I hope both locals and fellow visitors check out this claw machine arcade and make the most of their time here. The experience was made even better by the phenomenal staff, friendly manager, and passionate owner?everyone was incredibly welcoming and clearly takes pride in creating a fun, memorable environment.
Hey this place is great. Very clean and well lit. Intriguing and fair. Hey every kid gets a trophy now days! Lmao. They have a trade up program. They don't want no one to go home empty handed or unhappy. The attended is very friendly, knowledgeable and inviting, Alex is her name. Different ages throughout. It's nice ??
Alex is amazing! Very friendly, helpful, and motivated for everyone to have a great time!!!!
Don't come here if you plan on winning ANYTHING! I tried this place 3 times, $20 two times and $50 the one and got nothing because the pay outs are horrible! Stay away and just travel to a round one, way better!!
this was my first time here & my partner & i decided to stop here for a date, the two women at the front desk are SUPER nice and helpful, and they provide a comforting space in the area. would definitely recommend coming here for a date idea or just in general!!!
it was so fun! sage was big help and a great experience over all!! would come again
Had a really great time at the arcade. Srimon and Isaiah were very helpful. Would def recommended you take your kids here. Place is even great for adults.
Me and my girlfriend are CHRONICALLY ADDICTED to this place. Came here February 10th with my friends who haven't been here before and they had a blast!! Would recommend this place to any couple that loves gambling their life savings away on cute things! (In all seriousness, staff is so friendly and the place is always so friendly!!)
Had so much fun! Lloyd was super sweet and helpful. Won cute prizes to take home, so not impossible!
Srimon is an outstanding employee who consistently goes above and beyond for customers. She is dedicated, hardworking, and always puts in the extra effort to ensure every customer has a positive experience. Her friendly attitude, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile truly set her apart. Srimon?s commitment to customer satisfaction and her ability to handle any situation with professionalism and care make her an invaluable part of the team. She is a joy to see when being there.
Stopped in with my kids to check out the new store and got to talking with Lloyd and he is awesome and the vibe is great here to and nice prizes to also chose from also and trade up to get better stuff
Saiah L. Is the absolute best! We had a mommy daughter night out and never thought we would win a prize but she encouraged my 7 year old and we did it!!!!
I went into Prince UFO Catcher, and Emilia was super helpful. She helped me find the cat machines as those were the only ones I really wanted to play. The staff they are amazing!
Popped it for a few minutes of fun. The staff was fantastic, especially Lloyd and Saiah. They really made the experience a fun one!
this place is totally a scam spend 40$ to win nothing the claw machine is willing open and making the toy fall back to the grow it not even picking it any far this place is terrible i don't recommend you going and waste ur money there i?m a pro in playing i play other place n win all the time this place machine losing off the toy jus it touch it. if you want to waste ur money then u can go i will never return to that store ever !!! 0 start
Emilia was so sweet and amazing. She made my experience 10 times better. Fun place!!
As others have mentioned, you spent $20 and didn't get anything? The claw machines don't even try to grab the prizes. Teso X is far superior. Don't waste your money.
Spent $20 and walked out with nothing. The machines didn't even attempt to pick up after putting over $10 in one machine for a small plush. Would not recommend this clawcade.
A very fun and loving atmosphere. The workers are friendly and have great customer service. Would 100% recommend for everyone that wants some fun.
I had a blast playing the claw machine! It kind of reminded me of a casino coin pusher, where the thrill is in the chase rather than the certainty of winning. While the odds weren't in my favor, I was lucky enough to walk away with a cute plush at the end, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Definitely a fun little game with a nice surprise reward!
Super cute store and Emila was so sweet!!
Love this place! So fun - my daughter has been begging to come back!!! Srimon was a huge help!
I had a great time, the cashier srimon was so helpful.
I love this place. Took my grandson & Saiah helped us tremendously. Thank you Saiah!
Fun experience! Loved how bright everything looks. I really enjoyed the selection of prizes and how nice and welcoming the staff were. I definitely recommend anyone in the area to check the place out. It's a unique experience. I was told that its a Japanese arcade, which explains why it looks so different to everything in the area. ??
This place is so fun i love that you can win so many different items. It's been my favorite store at this mall by far! Thank you to Emilia for the amazing service!
Took my family for Valentine's special and so much fun!
Srimon and Isiah helped me a lot in this wonderful place!
Fair pricing and the claws are not rigged like most places, won a few times. Overall a good time!
We had fun - my son won a prize! ?Saiah and Sage were awesome and really nice to my kids.
we caught a plush in every machine and the claw loosened to drop it once it hit the top, felt like a total scam and wish i just bought myself a plush instead. would not recommend especially if you plan to bring kids- i feel like i just flushed money down the toilet.
The owner was really polite and helped us out to win a labubu! Bradley and Lloyd were really kind and helpful!
So much fun! I love all the machines they have and there are great prizes. The employees were great, Bradley was awesome and so nice!
Bradley and Lloyd were great so nice and super helpful showing us how things work! Thankfully we got lucky and got a labubu
Loved it! Emeila was great and helped us pick which flavour ramen to try and win!

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.”
