Very limited song list. They'd be better off paying two separate services to include not only pop songs. Th food qualify is similar to that of a vending machine. Cocktails are mostly sugar. They booted us out at 9 pm without warning of closing time.Vegetarian options: Nothing good.Dietary restrictions: Good luckKid-friendliness: No

We visited in 2019. We were looking for a place to chill and have food and drink. We were new to the area and after asking around this place was recommended to us. The bouncer was nice but the nice experience ended there. We stood inside near the front for awhile and we were finally approached by a waiter. We let them know we were interested in a table. After waiting 10 minutes as staff passed us by we felt uneasy. It felt as if they did not want us there. It's funny reading the reviews the experience we were expecting everyone else seemed to recieve. We eventually left after feeling we were in a gangster bar and were unwelcomed guest. We were terribly disappointed.

We came randomly on a weekday night for karaoke. It was about $48/hr for just karaoke. The walls are not soundproof...like at all, so you can definitely be heard when people walk by. But hey, be loud and proud here. Overall it was pretty fun and does the job.

Mmm yeah agree with all the other one star reviews on the false advertising- planned our visit around the availability of the AYCE and yeah it doesn't exist and just too many issues to list including getting to the place, sushi that isn't fresh, small rooms, just overall wouldn't go here again. It is what it is-

The food was a little bit pricey, but the taste was pretty good. It wasn't too crowded after Thanksgiving, weewhich was nice. They had korean and Chinese songs all we wanted. Even the boys had so much fun. The Cotton candy was definitely a plus. Will come back

This place was so much fun we had a girls night and had our own private room. The selection of music was awesome. The food and drinks were great and staff was attentive. Prices were reasonable and fair. The only down side I'd mention is if u want ayce sushi the whole group has to do it, so that was a bummer bc half of us wanted it and the other half didn't. Hopefully they will change that in the future.

This place is amazing! Clean, organized and so much fun! Shout out to the entire staff for being professional, kind, and accommodating. My family and I had an absolute blast tonight. The food was surprisingly fresh and tasty as well! This is the best karaoke venue I have been to in LA. Much more welcoming and fun than some sketchy places in Ktown. Their hourly and minimums are extremely reasonable. If you want to have an all around great experience, book one of their awesome rooms. Five stars for cleanliness as well! Thank you for a great birthday booking!

I've been wanting to try a private room karaoke place and found Moxie through Yelp. My coworkers/friends and I made a reservation a week in advance online for a medium room for a Friday night. We had a blast! Their catalogue of songs has a good selection, they were just missing some songs that my inner middle school emo persona really wanted to sing but that's okay. For those who are shy, you can choose to turn the artist's vocals on so you can just sing along.I had so much fun and really enjoyed the food that I came back a couple days later with my husband to try their AYCE on Sunday 6-8pm. $30 for AYCE (nigiri and rolls) and the karaoke room was a good deal and the 2 hours went by fast once we got into singing.The drinks are strong and the food is surprisingly really delicious! The service is quick and friendly. They have a button on the karaoke catalogue tablet that you can press whenever you need a server.- Truffle French fries: 5/5 better than McDonald's, crispy and seasoned perfectly- Filet Mignon Skewer: 5/5 tender and juicy- Shrimp tempura udon with miso soup: 4/5 four pieces of crispy shrimp tempura with hot miso broth and al dente noodles- Tempura roll: 4/5- Salmon nigiri: 4/5- Spam, egg, and avocado roll: 3/5- Sea Breeze, strawberry daquiri, lychee coconut sake: 5/5 cocktails are good!Parking should be plentiful. Depending on where you enter, there is a parking structure and you just have to walk up the set of stairs in the parking lot. Or the easiest way to find Moxie is if you are coming from Duarte rd and enter the parking lot from that entrance.

A fun and affordable place to sing karaoke, with a group of friends. Prices are very reasonable and song selection is great. Drinks were also very good.

I really enjoy the food there! The kimchi fried rice is my favorite!! And they have free dart machines and cotton candies! The whole place is awesome! Totally recommend ;)

I did the $30 (with fees turns out to be $40) all you can eat sushi and karaoke happy hour during the weekday from 6-8pm. The sushi wasn't bad and there are enough options for nigiri and rolls. The karaoke songs are all the popular hits. It's a pretty good deal and great service. It even comes with cotton candy at the end. Update! immediately had a stomachache after I left so i took a star off my review

Service 5/5Music selection 5/5 great amount of popular Spanish music!!Cleanliness 5/5

Not bad at all for a summer deal. I've enjoyed Moxie a few times now but the more recent trip was for happy hour and AYCE sushi with karaoke. Every person participating was a solid $30 between 6:00-8:00pm for both sushi and karaoke. Anything that isn't sushi is technically half off during the same hours because it's also their happy hour! (Also works for the friends who may not eat sushi). For this particular combo, you're not paying based on room but based on a set price per person in your party. Looks like this deal could be good for just a casual one-on-one screaming fest with your favorite person OR for a small group of four so you're not competing for so long on who can sing next. A great deal for the summer especially without having to over plan too much. I would definitely use this deal again the next time I need to prep for another concert tour with some of my best girls. Sushi was average quality. Not one that had me thinking so quickly that I must do this AYCE again. The reason why is because the quality of taste just wasn't there as much as I hoped. The sushi closely resembles the kind of sushi you'd get from those seafood buffets. Hit or miss. My favorite one was actually the spam with egg one which funny enough was practically more like kimbap than sushi. Nigiri slices came out pretty big but very unfortunate that it just didn't taste as fresh as I hoped. BUT then again, why would I be expecting that at a karaoke lounge? Haha.I realized this whole combo deal was also a lot to think of simultaneously-- Eat some sushi, sing this song, eat some sushi, maybe pick this song? And repeat. It sounds silly but as much as this experience covered two of my great loves, it did get a bit overstimulating. You could order five plates per person as well but be aware of the amount of table space you have because trust me, it gets pretty crowded and chaotic. As for service, it wasn't bad but they kept forgetting to leave back our menu with us after getting our order. So we ended up accidentally being that room that awkwardly kept having another thing to order. Everyone was nice all around. They checked in on you but they could've explained the machine a little at the very beginning. I'd consider a party here and maybe if you would like a quick memorable and slightly cheaper singing and munching spot before summer's over, you'd consider this too! AYCE sushi and karaoke is only on Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday!

Came here for the $30 AYCE sushi and karaoke deal only available on Wed/Thurs/Sun, 6-8pm. Such a great deal!!! Employees will give you the ordering form where you mark down how many pieces of sushi you'd like in your karaoke room and then they bring the sushi to your room! Nigiri sizes were huge with a lot of rice which fills you up quickly. The quality of the sushi was decent. Karaoke was great! The machine is more modern and have plenty of options/categories such as top artists, popular Korean, Japanese, Chinese songs, or you can easily search an artist/song in the search bar. Great experience and would come back for the deal.

They misplaced my order for drinks. I had to come out and ask and re-fill out their order menu. The place has decent rooms with nice microphones. However, I would not come back because of the service.Parking: Lots of parking.
