Used to be great, but the recent greedy price hike from $2 a coin to $3 is INSANE. The machine token price has not changed so the minimum to play is $3 and most machines are either 2-3 tokens ($6-$9). Some of the "higher quality" toys are 4-5 tokens so you're looking at $10+ for a singular capsule. You might as well just order the capsule toys online which allow you to choose what you want for practically the same price. I'd stay away from here unless you enjoy getting ripped off.

It's just anime Gacha. If you're looking for something else this is not the place, but it is a cool spot in Post Houston for walking around after or during a date.

9/26/2025 Rating lowered from 5 stars to 3 stars. Went from $2 per coin, which was already expensive to $3 per coin. Which is pretty insane. The amount of coins required per machine has not changed. Old review: Awesome place. Loved Gachapon in Japan. So happy it's here in Houston as well. Very helpful staff.
