Happy Kuma Introduce

Welcome to Happy Kuma, located at 9172 Bellaire Blvd, Houston, TX 77036, USA.

Happy Kuma, featured in the Theme Park Directory category, is an arcade that specializes in claw machines. Customer reviews indicate a unique but somewhat mixed experience.

Upon entering, customers have noted a "fishy smell" due to the proximity of a neighboring grocery store. However, this initial olfactory distraction is often forgotten once players engage with the claw machines and focus on winning plushies.

The arcade is described as "very fun," with most machines costing two tokens and smaller keychain machines costing one token. The "prize shoot" is considered "very rewarding" when players successfully grab and drop a plushie, contributing to the overall enjoyment.

However, some customers have reported that "a lot of the machines were empty," which can be disappointing. Additionally, there are observations that the machines are "a little rigged," which, while acknowledged as part of the claw machine experience, may detract from the sense of fairness.

Despite these drawbacks, the venue is described as a "really cool little place" and a "unique little experience." This suggests that Happy Kuma offers a distinctive arcade atmosphere that may appeal to those looking for something different.

Key features and services include:

  • Variety of claw machines.
  • Plushie prizes.
  • Token-based gameplay.
  • Prize shoot.
  • Unique arcade experience.

Areas of concern noted by customers:

  • Fishy smell upon entry.
  • Empty machines.
  • Potentially rigged machines.

Happy Kuma offers a unique claw machine arcade experience in Houston. While customers should be aware of the potential smell and the possibility of empty or rigged machines, the fun of winning plushies and the overall atmosphere may make it a worthwhile visit for arcade enthusiasts.

When you first enter, it smells fishy because of the grocery store next door however once you begin playing and focus on getting plushies you forget the smell. Very fun and most machines cost 2 tokens and the small Keychain machines cost 1 token. It's very rewarding when you're able to grab the plushie and drop it in the prize shoot. \(^-^)/

Really cool little place, but a lot of the machines were empty. It’s also a little rigged, but that’s the point. It’s still a unique little experience.

We ended up stopping by at this spot and regretted. If you read Angelina Tran’s post is exactly what happened to us. Might as well go to Claw Mania Kingdom because I had a better experience there and I was able to get many plushies. Felt that this place is rigged especially the mini claw machine is not even worth it. The mini claw doesn’t even grab the keychain and drags it which is very frustrating. Just don’t even go there it also had a bad smell inside not pleasant.

Wanted to try this place out after coming from shabu en however as soon as we walked in the smell was so bad. It smelled like fish or some sort of seafood. Extremely strong smell that we couldn’t finish walking around. I felt like my clothes were going to start smelling like raw seafood. Please take care of the smell so we can try the place out

Compared to other claw machine places, I found this place to be on the expensive side with each play requiring two coins. Plushies were hard to get and the selection doesn’t justify the price tag. We were the only people here with the employees sitting at the front and every time we asked for something they seemed bothered by us. Would not recommend, poor value and customer service.
