NeoFuns

Claw machines are rigged — they loosen (as everyone has said) as you get to the top. Unfortunately, they try to subsidize you with a little «gift» to make you feel better about your losses but it’s overall a pretty bad experience when you’re not able to win anything. Better off going to Daiso to have more fun per dollar.

This was my first time coming here but definitely not the last. The prices are reasonable and the staff are down to earth and helpful. Don’t waste your money on round 1!

This is a fun place to kill time and look around while you are in Atlantic Square, the atmosphere is cute and friendly. The staff is very kind and helpful and I usually see different promotions like buy one get a free gift and sales on plushies! There’s a hockey table to play with friends cute prizes and in the back corner they have fighting games. I usually bring my friends or siblings here after we eat and shop at the plaza it’s a nice way to end your trip. Early is the owner I think or manager he is a really sweet guy very nice to talk to, I was slightly short on tickets for a prize and he let me keep it :) also my friend won a Rilakkuma there in the claw machine for me! I think the free gifts change every month and the one for March is really great. Over all a nice place to hang out even if you don’t have money you can look around and take cute pictures of all the rillakumas, line characters, totoro, and more

Honestly, I stumbled upon this place after shopping at Daiso, and needed a place to kill time before any boba places opened =x This place is located in Atlantic Square, so parking can be a pain because who likes to find a parking spot in that plaza?
Nice clean place with a good amount of claw machines, an air hockey table, basketball game, and a few video games. Each claw machine game cost one token. One token= $ 1. They give bonus tokens if you buy more than $ 10. $ 10=12 tokens, and $ 20= 26 tokens.
Claw machines are what you expect it to be. Tricky… but maybe I’m just bad at these games? haha. Extremely friendly service though. A worker could tell I was clearly struggling to win a pink stuffed pony because I couldn’t grab it with the claw on multiple attempts. I was getting so frustrated because I had nearly spent $ 10 on it and probably should’ve called it a loss earlier. The worker offered to help reposition by putting it closer to the drop hole (since he probably felt sorry for me lol). I really appreciated the kind gesture and was finally able to win it for my niece who loves my little pony!

All their claws are pretty rigged.
Tiny machines: they pick up the toy then as soon as it reaches the top, the shake causes the toy to drop. Also some of the tiny machines, when you drop the claw, as it descends to the toy, it slants at an angle, making it nearly impossible to win.
The average size machine: these are the most common in the store, but these have a pay out rate, but it is extreme high. Meaning that one would have to put in a lot of money in order to win a prize. One time I went here, the employee was testing out the machine and the claw grabbed the toy very securely. Next I decided to try and what do I know, the claw was loose and weak. I felt ripped.
There is this very big claw machine towards the middle on the left and I usually do win something from that. But good luck as that is also difficult.
I have given this place way too many opportunities to show improvement. But they always fall short on my expectations. Their machines are rigged and the public needs to know.

Do not spend your money on this place, you won’t win anything. Legit, the one fun thing about this place is the double air hockey machine. That’s it! Let me explain, why not to spend your money playing games here is, the claws are very loose! They will grab something at first, for 2 seconds, and then the claw sways back and forth too much, then the item you grabbed falls! No matter how many times you try the same claw, you won’t win anything. I’ve spent over $ 20 here, just trying to win 1 stuffed anmal. I’m very unsatisfied, please save your money and get some sushi or ice cream instead.

They really need to stop loosen the claws on their claw machines. I remember I came here when they first opened the store and many of their machines had strong gripping but now every single machine has broken claw, except those two 3 feet tall ones for little kids, in the front of the store. It’s just ridiculous to scam us with their messed up machines. Never again!!!

Hiya my Unilocales,
Arcade? Claw Machines? Air Hockey? WHAT? YES! They have it here. Parking here is very convenient since they have a parking lot right underground if you know where Atlantic Square is then you know what I’m talking about. So don’t need to worry about finding parking and yes its for FREE.
I believe this place just opened a few months ago, I came here for the first time trying to kill some time before the movies. I love how there is a little arcade in the plaza. I’ve got to say they are a little expensive $ 1 for 1 token, $ 5 for 5, $ 10 for 12, and $ 20 for 26. So the more you buy the more discount you get. They do have a lot of cute stuff animals in the claw machines.
My favorite part of this place is their service, they are very understanding and kind. I was on this machine and there was something wrong with the claw and kept missing it which they told me that the claw is a little loose, but since I spend over $ 10 on it they just decided to give it to me which was very very thoughtful of them. I was also trying to get this adorable Baymex phone accessary and I tried about 3 times and have no luck, luckily the guy was right behind me and he kept putting it right on top of the drop hole, knowing my luck I was very unlucky even though he tried to help me 3 times but finally the 4^th time my boyfriend got it for me. (thank you lovie) So thanks to all of the workers for being so freaking awesome.
Overall, 5 stars for service thats for sure, 4 stars for environment and decoration. I will definitely come back again in the near future if I have some time to kill again before the movies.

Awesome place! I’ve been addicted to claw machines lately and it’s nice to see one in Monterey Park. I used to drive all the way out to Puente Hills for a fix.
Great variety of games – love that they have tekken here (just don’t get your butt whooped by a seven year old who button mashes unless you want to lose your dignity). Ahem. but that’s besides the point.
Moving on! Great place to be when you have some down time. The employees are SUPER FRIENDLY and approachable.
I spent $ 20 bucks worth of tokens and came out with three, medium-​sized plushes. Not bad at all! Just takes some skill and careful planning. Use your tokens well and may the force be with you! (-;

Maxwell & Melissa are awesome! Thanks for the great customer service! Get me a DDR machine… pronto! Please & thank you! ^^ #cantwait

This is a whatever arcade. I actually saw some people win prizes so the machines aren’t necessarily rigged, just has a high payout rate. You probably won’t win anything until the machine has taken enough money from all the suckers. Aside from that, the place is small as fuck and the prizes don’t look legit. There was this pikachu shit that looked like a Minion more than a pokemon.
Come here if you have some spare money cause you didn’t tip your server when you ate at Tasty Garden

BACKGROUND
I don’t go home often since I go to college in NorCal, but every time that I do go home I would visit Atlantic Times Square. I saw two different groups of people walked by me with Stitches and Mario. At first I thought AMC added an arcade in there but I walked around and found this small arcade. I thought this place was really new because there were no mention of the name of the store outside or anywhere for the matter.
LOCATION
1 star for the location since we need more interesting stores in the Atlantic Time Square and I don’t know any arcade near the area.
MACHINES
When I went on September 13, 2015, a claw machine was broken and they just displayed stuffed dogs that you can buy. Great advertisement usage of a broken machine, I guess?
Overall, there aren’t many machines, most are claw machines for different kinds of stuffed animals, mostly Asian stuffed animals.
They do have 1 air hockey table.
No street fighter machine.
They also have 1 basketball shooting machine. There is a sign on it that said if you keep shooting after the game is over, the machine will break down. Heh, I doubt it but funny nonetheless.
PRIZES
1 star for the Asian stuffed animals! You would usually have to visit a Japanese store to get the cute alpaca stuffed animals or any of the other cute Asian stuffed animals. I wish I took a picture but the guy standing around the «cash register» looked mean.
Oh, you can also just buy the Asian stuffed animals directly if you can’t win them at the claw machines/​ticket exchange.
STAFF
I think there is only 1 guy working the «cash register» at once. Cash register is in quotes because there is a tablet and some boxes. I did not get a close look because the guy that worked the night shift looked mean and the guy working the day shift just looked bored. The cashier is next to the little prize section at the corner in the middle of the store.
OVERALL
I don’t see this place lasting after the novelty of it wears off. Even though it is new, it is not packed. I am not even sure if «NeoFuns» is the name of the store, again no signs or indication of the store name anywhere inside or outside of the store. Cute prizes, but no variations of machines.

This arcade mostly consist of claw machines and lesser known prize games. The prizes here are really low quality matetial and are typically Chinese knock offs. The claw machines are rigged so that the claw loosens up once it reaches the top. The other games are also rigged, usually with a faulty or unresponsive sensor. Worst arcade experince… just go to round 1

This little arcade is found in the Atlantic Times Square plaza and are currently having their soft opening.
There’s a bunch of claw machines along the wall with a middle divider where you can buy some plushies and miscellaneous items. Some of the items don’t look that worth it but if it’s all in good fun then it’s worth a try! I’ve attempted to acquire a duck and pig plushie but both were too heavy for the claw — maybe smaller items have more luck?
The machines so far are $ 1/​token which I think is pretty expensive compared to Round 1. The people there are also more than willing to exchange your currency for the bill/​token exchange machine.
Can’t wait for their grand opening and what other things are in store for this place.
