PARTEA NYC - Union Square

Went here in March 2025, I'm catching up on reviews lol. I LOVED this place. I went pretty late and it wasn't busy but not empty. The chicken bites are FIRE. The claw games were a lot of fun. I'm too introverted to ask for help so I only left with a few Keychain size things. The allure of the large prizes is real!!! I will 100% be going here again.

8/13 - I didn’t buy any food there since I was mostly interested in the neon lights and prizes. Sadly I didn’t get anything but it has very cute plushies!! This place also has gacha machines with really cute figures to win Each coin is 1 dollar, if you pay with card it adds 35 cents. 8/28 - Update: I went back to PARTEA and wanted to pay with card but I had scan a QR code instead of tap my physical credit card. The internet is so slow inside so you have to wait a minimum of 4 minutes for the page to even load, plus when you do pay it doesn’t even go through the first time.

Went with my daughter & a friend for her 8th birthday on black Friday. We walked in & the establishment was super clean. Each child spent $100 on coins & won a good amount of prizes. We did not get the $10 bonus once you spend $100, but both girls left very happy. We will def be back again !!! We did not eat here, so I cant review the food.

Partea NYC in Union Square absolutely deserves all five stars! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how clean, bright, and welcoming the space felt. The interior has a modern, calming aesthetic that makes it a perfect place to unwind or catch up with friends. It’s spacious enough that you don’t feel crowded, and the atmosphere is really inviting. Now onto the drinks. I ordered one of their signature fruit teas with cheese foam, and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. The fruit was fresh, the tea had a rich yet refreshing flavor, and the cheese foam added a perfect creamy, savory touch that balanced everything out beautifully. You can tell they use quality ingredients and put thought into the presentation. The toppings were generous, and I loved that you can customize the sweetness and ice levels to your liking. The staff were incredibly friendly and patient, especially when I asked questions about the menu. They made great recommendations and genuinely seemed passionate about what they serve. Service was quick, but nothing felt rushed. It’s also worth mentioning that the location is super convenient, right by Union Square, which makes it a great stop during a shopping day or before hopping on the train. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and can’t wait to come back to try more from the menu. Partea NYC is a must-visit if you love high-quality bubble tea and great vibes.

Awesome bubble tea experience. First of all, the bubble tea was excellent (I got Mango Sago with Pomelo Yogurt). Second of all, the whole feeling of the place is great. It is upbeat, playful, and filled with games. I got a mystery box filled with a cool surprise! And, I tried my luck at the claw machine and won a cool toy! It can get expensive quick, but a real fun time. And tasty!

I absolutely love coming here for Labubus, fruit teas and fun vibes! Staff is always welcoming, friendly and helpful! Anytime I go to PARTEA NYC I keep winning labubus! Fav drink from here is their passion fruit teas! Highly recommend coming here if anyone has trouble getting Labubus from Popmart! 💖💖💖

I miss their Flushing location which had more Pokemon and other plushies. Choices are much limited here and more than half of the machines were Labubu related. The food and drinks are still the same.

One of my fave places to hang out with my friends and have fun! I have won multiple prizes each time I’ve gone. Def worth coming here and testing your luck. Destiny, was very helpful while I’ve been there always helping me and everyone else with tips and fixing boxes to make sure we all get fair chances. Boba is yummy and much needed due to the heat in there

This spot has a boba bar up front and a whole section of claw machines in the back. The boba was solid! Drinks were tasty and the tapioca balls were perfectly chewy. I dropped about $250 and didn't end up winning anything, but honestly, I don't think the games are rigged, you just have to be super precise. The only downside is that some machines take 8 tokens per play, so your credits disappear fast. I also wasn't a fan of their token deals for example, if you spend $100, you only get 10 bonus tokens, which feels low compared to other arcades that give you more for spending big. That said, it's still a fun, chill place to hang out, sip boba, and test your luck on the claw machines. Just know it's not cheap, and wins aren't guaranteed but if you're patient (and a little lucky), it's definitely possible!

I really don't like to talk badly about a small business but I just want to warn others that the claw machines are totally rigged not in your favor. We spent 50 dollars, picked up something on every turn and it would just drop it. It feels like a total scam. Not only will you not win anything, they barely have functioning AC so you will be uncomfortably hot the whole time. Don't worry though, you won't be there long because it only takes three minutes to burn through your tokens. The only upside is the staff is super friendly. We did not try any of the food or drinks because we were in and out in 3 minutes. My kids and I go to many claw machine places in various cities (Houston, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, etc) so we have a good feel for machines and chances of winning. My kids were excited when we got there and left so frustrated they wanted to leave their own review! My 8 year old daughter's message: I am very sad because I didn't get anything My niece's message: Never come here unless you want to get nothing My son's reaction: Ahhhhhh(stomp stomp)

Concept is awesome, and the staff is really friendly! Was excited to come and try the claw machines, but also wanted to try their bubble tea. The machine to order food and drinks was really slow, and kept rejecting our order. After a third attempt and almost making it through the transaction, it declined my credit card. Decided not to order a drink. Had no problem using the same card to get tokens for the claw machines though. Did the 20 tokens for $20. There were small claw machines for two tokens - I won two keychains out of those. They were cheaper trinkets, nonetheless still fun. There were vending machines with guaranteed prizes for 7-8 tokens, and a few larger claw machines. The environment itself is really cool, with all of the claw machines having neon lights. Bathroom was clean too! I'd give it another try if I was in the area.

This place is a lot of fun, especially if you win something on the claw machine. It's not cheap though. It comes out to 5-8 coins for a chance to grab Labubus. Each coin is $1. Most times you get nothing, so it's just the fun of playing with the claw machine. Once in a while, you get something after spending quite a bit on the coins and feeling disappointed, but sometimes you just get really lucky. The staff will help adjust the item you are trying to grab if you ask them to. It just gives a better shot at it because it's not in an odd position that the claws can't grab. They have food but I don't usually eat there. I just go there to play. They also have the surprise boxes in the vending machines. The prize can be discount on the food. Worth it if you like surprises.

Got the sandwich combo for lunch today! Original crispy chicken thigh sandwich and milk bubble tea ~$20. Big portion of chicken. Very tender and juicy. Buns are fluffy but not as warm as I want it to be. Fries are not as warm either. Bubble tea is good. Great boba texture. Remember to sign up the app so you can accumulate point for the order. The staff are really friendly. Claw games at the back. Some high stools by the bar table. Cool design inside, very electronic and futuristic.

My friend wanted to come here for the extensive claw machine and the chance to win those ugly dolls. Payment for the tokens was a quick and easy process. If you buy enough, you can enter the raffle with 2 chances I believe. It was not super packed. Down to the 7 try, my friend was able to win what she wanted! If you are actually good at claw machines, I would recommend coming. If you are not it gets expensive and frustrating quickly. We didn't try the food here but there were many options.

The drinks were really meh. Nothing special or great about it, didn't seem like much quantity or quality. I didn't taste it too low only due to the promise that their food items were better so giving them benefit of the doubt there and also for their cute aesthetics of the store. However the drinks definite nope. The claw machines were also impossible to win, spent like $20+ to just get a small keychain, the claws just were weak and weren't latching onto anything. The worker was also helping out certain people (not sure why only those certain ones) but not me and my friends even though we've been playing for awhile which I thought was strange service. Overall, definite miss in the hit or miss category during my encounter

Our family are regulars. My daughter is obsessed with clawcades and Partea is one of the better clawcades in the city. The drinks are amazing and the prizes are top notch! My daughter is crazy about Pokemon and won this rare card from one of their machine. :)

Partea on East 14th Street in Manhattan was cute and fun! I will say the claw machines are very pricy ($10 for 10 tokens and all games are 2 - 4 tokens), and the claws are very sensitive, so you're unlikely to get many wins. We didn't try the chicken or drinks, because it was crowded and a bit warm. We interacted with one staff member, and she was very polite.

price - $7 with tax included food - 4.5/5 ambiance - 5/5 service - 4/5 overall - 4/5 overall, this is such a chill place to get drinks and food since it's connected to a bunch of claw machines!!! it's such an amazing place to hangout with your friends, loved ones and significant other! the drink was soooo good, i will definitely get it again! the claw machines are fair since the workers will readjust the positions of the prizes for you!!! i highly recommend this place!!!

Wrong order given twice. Slow. Machines do not work. Drinks not good. Not a good atmosphere.

Lychee & lime green tea is refreshing, not too sweet or sour, with 30% sugar as recommended by staff. Order at kiosk or pay in cash at counter to skip credit card convenience fee. I came for the MONSTA X cupsleeve event, September 5 weekend. Appreciate it that the cupsleeve was given separately & not actually used for the cup to avoid getting wet. Bathroom code is on receipt. Thanks for hosting & playing Monsta X music.

I got the whipped sesame green milk tea here and it was disappointing. The tea was very diluted and the sesame was far too overpowering.

Partea NYC is one of a couple Japanese style claw machine places where you buy tokens to play to win a plushy or a figurine that have sprung up in the city recently. They also have a variety of eats like pop corn chicken and bubble tea, although I should note that I did not try the food or drink when I visited, only the games. The pricing for tokens is fairly standard and on par with other claw machine places. They have a variety of different plushies to win so you're bound to find something you like. The service for the claw machines was fairly attentive and helpful when you are having difficulty in retrieving a prize. Partea like many other claw places is a good spot for a date or birthday party as it has the feel of an arcade or Dave and Buster's.

AMAZING ANNNAAAAAAAAAA!!! Ana was so helpful and welcoming. She helped us troubleshoot a machine and recommended the garlic fries which was delicious! When we got the gachapon we wanted, she celebrated with us and helped us open the prizes. What a great employee!!

Came back here after not having here for awhile. The quality and service has unfortunately gone down. The staff were unfriendly and unhelpful. I hope this place survives.

I don't know if it's just me but I feel like the claw machines have gotten more difficult to play and the claw itself is looser compared to when I was here on grand opening day from last year. They sell fried chicken sandwiches, fruit teas, fries, popcorn chicken, and other snacks on the menu. I didn't buy anything to eat or drink as I'd just had dinner right across the street. I came directly for the plushies in claw machines. Ambiance wise is supposed to resemble the night markets in Taiwan with the various neon-colored LED lights attracting people to go inside, play the claw machines and have the chance of winning and bringing your favorite stuffed animal home. The LED lights can make very instaworthy photo opps for night photography. There're two token exchange kiosks at two separate corners of the arcade place. I didn't like how they would require customers to put in the exact change/money amount, otherwise you'll NOT be able to get your change back. So, please BEWARE & read all the instructions carefully before taking any action/putting in any money into the machine!!!!! Anyway, most of these claw machines require 2 tokens per play (equivalent to $2) for the smaller and medium sized plushies. The bigger plushies require you to put in 3 tokens per play (equivalent to $3). For the bigger plushies like my favorite Totoro, you're supposed to grab the ball in the middle, bring it over and drop it into the slot with the claw. Call the staff over to give them the ball and choose the prize/plushie that you want. You think it's an easy process right?!? Nope. The hardest thing, the ball would keep hitting the roof and bouncing back against the hard plastic every time the claw would reach up to the top. Then, the claw slips open when it's almost fallen in. Luckily, the nice and friendly staff would offer to rearrange the smaller and medium sized plushies when they see that you're having a hard time grabbing it. Or you can request/ask them during the struggle of fishing it out. Nevertheless, I've failed at that game numerous times over and over again. Still grateful for staff's attempted help and tips. For the hand-sized plushies in the smaller claw machines, I tend to think that the claw in there had gotten looser than I'd remembered to be in the past. The claw kept slipping while trying to aim and grab the plush at the body but ended up failing miserably when the claw had opened up at the last minute. After several failed attempts, the staff came over to stack up the small Totoros and moved one of them very close to the prize slot hole. Therefore, you would only need to swing and knock the claw against the side of the targeted plush very gently at your next turn and it shall tumble & fall into your possession. Another key and the most important part, just as the claw tries to grab your prize, you should ideally press the same claw button again in order to securely grab the toy and hold it in place when it goes up in the air. It would even have these tips plastered everywhere on the side of these claw machines. Besides having a little luck on your side, the outcome would also depend on your skills/techniques as in how well you can aim the claw at a certain angle and how tight you can have the claw secure the toy without losing its grip. Overall, your wallet would definitely agree with you that the arcade is indeed a dangerous and addicting place for both adults and kids alike. Alas, you might even end up spending the entire day here if you keep on exchanging your money for tokens. Lastly, it is very important to understand and have enough self control limiting yourself on how much money you actually plan on spending. After all, it's too easy and too fast to lose $20 in a matter of 5 minutes.

[NYC BOBA TOUR STOP #52] *My other stops on the tour: https://www.yelp.com/collection/4dXTAnFqPHD1D8obaInTZw/nyc-boba-tour The Partea concept is that it was modeled after night markets, so there's boba and little foods and then toward the back there are a ton of claw machine games. However, as someone who takes my night markets extremely seriously, this is a sad comparison. We ordered: Mango Pomelo Slush (4/5), Grapefruit Green Tea (4.5/5), Strawberry Green Tea (2/5), (Hot) Whipped Creme Brulee Oolong Milk Tea (2.79/5), Watermelon and Passionfruit Green Tea, Whipped Sesame Milk Green Tea with Boba (4.1/5) That being said, I enjoyed my drink a lot more than I thought I would. They have this 'whipped' series that they seem to specialize in, so I went with the whipped sesame milk green tea. Sesame drinks are always a hit or miss for me because sometimes it's too strong, too grainy, too milky, who knows. The whipped sesame part mixed super thoroughly with the rest of the drink and made it so that the entire drink was thicker than a usual milk tea but also not as thick as a milkshake so it was just a new consistency of bubble tea that I have never had before and I am always down for a new experience. Mixed reviews across the board- some liked the fruit tea, some didn't. At the end of the day, there are too many better boba places in the Union Square area to ever warrant coming here intentionally.

Very cute claw machine store w snacks and drinks. It was difficult to win something, but the employees were extremely helpful! I really enjoyed my time there and will definitely be returning. The employees here are the best!

This place looked like fun.... I had $3 cash to try and see if I could snag a 2 coin prize (each coin is $1). Of course I knew I'd probably lose. Go to the front and he says it says $5 limit, which it does not say on any machine. I had additional funds to easily play with but not interested. What if a little kid comes in here... you get nothing. Didn't get my $3 back and the stoned Japanese kids didn't know what to do. If you have claw machines that require 2 coins or $2 then someone should be able. The business will make more off $2 tries then $10 tries where it's located. Big no.... I'll buy something that costs .5c from Amazon.

Delivery Only Review Partea with its latest delivery has surprised me with amazing fried chicken, with bubble tea and fries. Recommended for sure! For those wondering, it would seem that Partea is kind of like a Taiwanese bubble tea shop thy at does the popcorn chicken. Kind of like a Vivi's. Taste: 5/5 Service: N/A - did delivery Ambience: N/A - did delivery Value for Money - 4/5 We had: 1) Chicken Sandwich - an Asian Popeyes chicken sandwich, loved it and highly recommended 2) French Fries - there's a powder they put on it that makes it seem Cajun and is quite good! 3) Original Boba - Tastes as it should and recommended too 4) Chicken Wings - my girlfriend liked it, enough said 5) Chicken Popcorn - yum, yum and yum!

I have been so excited to try this place out! Partea NYC has two locations in Flushing & Union Square, but we went to the one in Union Square as it was closer to us. What seems like your typical boba spot from the outside instantly whisks you away to a Taiwanese night market the moment you step inside. There's beautiful neon signage everywhere you look which of course gets you pumped to spend some money on tokens for the claw machines! Near the entrance are some stools and an eating area if you decide you want to fuel up first. Please make sure you eat or drink whatever you order here first before venturing into the arcade area. My husband and I already ate dinner before coming here so we each order the Watermelon Passion Fruit Tea & the Sparkling Strawberry Yakult. Both were very light and refreshing! I especially loved the added slight fizz from my sparkling drink! My husband noted that the boba wasn't as flavorful as he's used to but he still loved the drink regardless! Now on to the arcade! There are a couple of machines in the area where you can buy tokens for their machines either with cash or credit card (QR Code accessible). Be sure to grab a container to hold your tokens in so you're not digging in your pockets or using one hand to hold everything at once. They have your typical claw machine games that cost two tokens, then they have machines with larger prizes that you have to hit a well timed scissor cut to get! Overall this was such a cool experience and one of the more memorable spots I've been to so far. The staff was so helpful and nice as well which made it easier for me as I was struggling to win prizes if you're in the area of either location, be sure to stop by Partea!

The worker today is rllly helpful and always makes sure to let uk that u can ask her for help. She was kind and even communicated in Chinese for me when I fumbled my English. The atmosphere of the place is great with clean facilities as well. I love coming here to just hang out w friends.

This place is amazing. Staff is amazing. The claw machine are winnable. I would recommend this place to anyone that love to snack, boba and play claw machine

I didn't try the Boba, only the claw machine portion of the store. The tokens of the store are reasonably priced, and the staff are very knowledgeable about the games and can give tips about where to grab the prizes. We spent around $20 and got 3 prizes from the machine, with each play being around $2. The prize selection is good, with both small prizes, gashapons, and larger prizes being available, with a wide selection of brands such as Pokemon, Sanrio, and more. This clawcade uses skill-based luck, rather than a payout system seen at bigger brands. However, the only reason this is knocked down 2 stars is that the prizes are obviously fake. I won a MyMelody Sanrio plush, and it says "MgMelody" on my plush. The prizes are pretty good still, but I would've expected better quality control.

Always consistent with their popcorn chicken!! My wife and I absolutely love it. Mild spicy hits the spot. They have a great selection of games you can actually win! Staff is always friendly.

Super cute and fun place worth stopping in for a quick snack and game ! Space: The space is quite a bit smaller than we expected. That being said, it's awesome how many crane game stations they have fit in there ! However, most of the space is taken up by the machines so the eating area is a bit limited unfortunately. We did wait to order food because there was no seating at first Food ordering: I love that they have 2 self service machines as well as a counter ordering system. This helps flow and let's you place an order without much wait. Seating: There's very limited seating and it's all bar seating against the wall or the front window. That being said, the main attraction is the game area so I understand the seating limitation. For me personally, it was a bit uncomfortable because of how small the bar was too. Food/drink: We chose the box meal option which comes with a little plush and honestly it's the way to go! The food is delicious and filling ! Same with the teas ! NOW TO THE IMPORTANT PART! There's so many machines ! You do have to get tokens to play but there are 2 token exchange machines to use. A lot of the machines that you just put token in & turn the know to get a prize were out of stock. This was a bit disappointing because they took up a whole wall and only a handful of them were usable. For the octane machines - there's a wide variety to choose from! From small plushies to giant ones ! I went for a smaller one with pokemon and it took me 2-3 tries to get it, so they definitely can be won! This is definitely a fun place to stop in and spend 30 min or so! I imagine it could be good for selfies and small photoshoots too (though I don't know if they allow that)

New boba and claw machine/game arcade near Union Square. It has cool vibes inspired by Taiwanese night markets. I feel like this place opened overnight! They're still setting up some elements of the store, and when I stopped in the seating area and games weren't ready yet. There's ordering kiosks where you can pick from a large selection of customizable boba and fried chicken. I ended up getting a jasmine green tea with yogurt popping boba and cream mousse. The jasmine green tea was good and there was a ton of the yogurt boba. The staff was really nice and helpful. They were quick to come speak to me when I came up to the counter with any questions. Overall I was happy with my drink and experience so far. I'm excited to come back again and play some games.

My friend and I were in the area and we were about to go to another bubble tea place nearby but the lights of this place have drawn us in. Very cute place and idea. They have drinks, snacks and a bunch of claw machine games in the back. Upon entering, we were greeted by a staff member. We placed our order on the self-serve machines and waited a pretty long time for our drinks. It wasn't even busy so we had no idea what took so long. I ordered the watermelon green tea slush with no mousse and the drink was terrible. I was so disappointed. Paid $7.xx for blended ice with a hint of watermelon. Once I got the drink and saw the color of it, I already knew it would be bad. My friend had the mango sago with pomelo slush and she thought the drink was just alright. Probably would come back to try the snacks and play some games but would skip on the slush drinks. All the drinks come in one size only!

It felt like a night club. The staffs were super helpful and friendly. Clean unfortunately the restrooms were out of order

If you are looking for something to do with your date or friends this would a unique activity to do. They have many claw machines to play and also gashapon capsules if you want something guarenteed. The claw machines range from $2 to $3 a play and the gashapon is $5. Your money will go quick so its best to have a budget and stick to it cause these games are addicting. They also have a section in the front for food and drinks. Prices were reasonable and the food selection was plenty. Great taste as well. Staff are super nice and are able to answer any questions you have.

The food is great and service is great!!' The claw machine is very fair and the rewards are amazing . I highly recommend this place if ur trying to grow ur Labubu collection

There's delicious food, boba, claw machines and arcade games located in Union Square. It is inspired by Taiwan night market. The owners and staff are friendly! Would recommend checking it out!

The food and drinks here are good. My favorite so far is probably the fried chicken, though most of their stuff in the menu also tastes great in my opinion. They do have an arcade that you can play with, and also gatcha machines too. I usually do the gatcha machines though. I've never played the claw machines, so I don't have much to say about that. The interior looks really cool too, lots of glowing neon colored lights and everything.

Partea is SO much fun -- there's arcade games and tasty food. (The owners and staff are also incredibly sweet and kind). Partea has such a fun vibe with their inviting decor and neon lights. You can win stuffed animals of all sizes or you can buy one of their mystery boxes. As for the food, their fried chicken sandwiches are delicious (spicy and soy garlic are a must try) especially if you get their honey butter fries. Savory, sweet goodness with perfectly fried fries. For their drinks, they use Lactaid milk and non-dairy creamer and their drinks are amazing. I love their boba, it's so fresh with the perfect qq chew. If you're looking for a fun place to hang out, Partea is the place to go.

Loved this Taiwanese night snacks and gacha spot! the Taiwanese popcorn chicken was traditional and stilled had bones which I'm not the biggest fan of but still yummy! the boba was also great and workers were very kind in letting me know my order was ready! the lighting and gacha items are very cute and fun! plenty of great photo ops and adorable stuffies! lots of anime, Pokémon, and Sanrio character gear to win! IG @gabequintero_

Please note this review is only based on my game play experience and not on any of the other services provided. Came here to kill time and still had fun thanks to my boyfriend. Unfortunately, I was not able to win any of the things I hoped to get. The claw would grab the item and once at the top the claw would spring open, dropping the item before it even reached the opening. My boyfriend on the other hand was able to win a keychain and was kind enough to give it to me. Would I return?... Probably not.

Spent a lot of money on tokens, but still came out with a few things! Really good way to spend time with friends in a casual and very non-committal environment. Plus, they have bubble tea and other drinks to enjoy as you're essentially gambling your money away for little plushies.

Ordered the Partea fruit tea and it was so refreshing and not too sweet. It's the perfect pairing to drink boba while playing some of the cool claw machines. It's also super big inside so was a nice place to chill. Will definitely come back and try some of their other drinks and food!

Judging strictly from the food experience - Partea is a definite try for those who might have gone a little cynical on popcorn chicken and other fried treats - they hit notes we thought none could with succulent juices wrapped in spicy crust. We found ourselves pleasantly surprised at the boba and fresh (and real ) fruit teas ! The staff working here are chill and a pleasant interaction, which just leaves the claw machines and other "games" - they're all thinly veiled gambling experiences and maybe fun for the kids but not my taste at all. Also really dislike their lootbox machines. If I could add anything to my Partea experience it would be some actual video games!!

The Claw Machine is Rigged I wasted 145$ Just to leave the store with nothing, I feel like any other review that is positive are just lies, The place is Biased also because since people had labubus they let them go more than one time and they every person who got Labubu won another Labubu, I say never come to this place if you would like to waste money for fun.

This place is the biggest scam. Please don't spend your $! We just spent $200 and we not able to get any toys with the kids that win all the time.

Super fun spot that reminds you of Japan's UFO claw machine shops! The dolls they have were authentic and not the bootleg versions. Love the bright neon lights, but wish the AC was stronger (super hot inside the shop). There were tons of claw machines which I appreciated. The staff was also very nice & would assist you right away. We spent $20 & was able to get 2 dolls. There were many gashapon machines in the front area, but a majority were gone. There is also a area in the front where they sell bubble tea & small snacks.

I recently came across a Tik Tok video that mentioned this place had Labubus which automatically intrigued me. I had to come check it out for myself, come to find out they have Sonny Angels as well! I have been looking for hippers forever and was able to get two. The staff are super friendly and helpful. They helped me readjust the prizes as well as encourage me to continue trying. Overall super fun weekend adventure! I recommend the lychee sparkling yakult drink as well, very refreshing and good!

I asked for help twice on how to work some of the machines, because the coins kept getting stuck and one of the workers was just not nice about it at all. She was a little rude about it even though me and my friend had clearly never been to an arcade like this before. Also, if you are looking to actually win prizes in claw machines, me and my friend spent around $50 combined and both of us won nothing from the claws. The only thing we got was from the like toy vending machines where you are guaranteed a prize.

This place is so cute and fun! There's food, drinks, claw machines, and Gashapon machines. I ordered popcorn chicken and a lychee sago with pomelo slush and played some games as I waited. I loved the lychee slush, it was so tasty and refreshing. On top of all that, I won a plushie, so I had a very enjoyable time.

A Japanese crane arcade in NYC. I have to say its pretty authentic. A great spot to bring friends and try out the crane games. Good vibes and nice neon aesthetic. As for the food itself, very good. One of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in a while. The fries and drank were very good as well. My only knock on this place is the size. Felt way too small for what it is going for. It may be difficult to dine in if you can't get seating. The food was also a bit pricy. My only complaints about this place. Finally I chose the partea meal which came with a plushie. I didn't know what plushie I would get and didn't have a choice. I wouldn't have chosen this plushie had I known what I would've gotten. In fact, I might've not even gotten the meal. I wish there was more transparency here.

Cute plushies, small plushies are 2 tokens to play. Ranges from $10 for 10 tokens. $5 for 5 tokens. Deal if you get more tokens. We were bummed we didn't get any bag charms bc last minute the claw just loosens and drop it :(

Saw this place on tiktok and decided to visit. Upon arrival the place was smaller than expected. Claw machines and gotcha machines are expensive. More than half of the gotcha machine was empty. Very disappointing
