If you can't speak Cantonese or Mandarin then don't even bother coming here unless you have Chinese friends that can speak either one or the other. If you do decide to come in without them don't expect great service from the staff. Very low quality sound system. Overpriced food & drink. There are much better karaoke places such as Doremi in SF or Jaguar in Oakland.

location is very accessible. the system is easy to operate. song selections are good. just one suggestion..... need aircon or electric fan because it's summer now.

Honestly, the interior decor is better than the previous mbox. But the floor is just greasy and the booth doesn't smell like it's properly cleaned. Touchscreen is tripping all the time, the mouse just click around your finger except the spot you want to tap. Microphone sometimes doesn't receive the voice and there's annoying high pitch going on randomly despite the position of mic.

It smells like an ash tray and the billing is very confusing. We went during happy hour and it wasn't all half off. We overpaid and seems deliberate to make the invoice difficult to understand. Also we didn't know that smoking is allowed but we were already there. Won't be going back unfortunately.

Had a horrible experience here. We called in for a reservation for 3 hours and they said the cost would be about $50 for the 3 hours. Yet when we came in, we stayed for 3 hours and expected us to pay for $150. Clearly a miscommunication, however, THEY were the ones who told us it was $50 for 3 hours. It was a miscommunication on their part. Of course we argued about the bill, but they refused to charge us what they told us. We were extremely angry with their service. Food was overpriced, and so were all the drinks. They also charged a service fee automatically as well. Didn't know it was such a hassle cleaning up a room that's empty? Wouldn't recommend people coming here. The system was pretty confusing to work as well.

Not good. At all.

I had fun for my first time going. Nice music selections. You can’t bring food or drink inside unless it’s changed since I’ve been there.

No idea why so many negative reviews - this place was great. Price maybe high but totally worth it. Tons of Chinese songs with decent selection of English songs. Could be better if have more Japanese songs.

Hard to find the songs you want, but once you do it's so much fun!!

Server is very rude and foods tasted horrible, will never come again!
Used to be a good Chinese KTV place but recently they've shortened their operating hours to only 1pm-9pm after they switched to new owners last week. Showed up at 11pm to find that they were still open with people singing but was told that they were booked out past 9pm for a "private party" every day for the indefinite future...really sketchy. Won't be coming back until the hours are extended again.

Environment was great but song choices were limited. A little pricier than the place I usually go to.

I was here at the afternoon time and one thing is weird. They requested customer to sight on a list they have for agree with add 15% room service frees on the bill. I went there couple times and never have this before.

Karaoke night was really fun. Selection of music was okay. If you're mostly into r&b and rap there is mostly the older songs. Good prices for the rooms. Can't bring food or drinks inside. Rooms were nice and clean.
