Had a blast! 1. Friendly Staff! 2. Clean rooms 3. Immaculate bathrooms 4. Solid song selection 5. Delicious menu items! I was a bit hesitant to go because of the reviews mentioning the system being in Chinese, but it was easy to figure out (less than 5 minutes!) and the staff was open to any questions and concerns. Food and drinks arrived quickly and everything was yummy! Can't wait to go back.

As I rated the service was only made better thanks to the nice young man that helped us. We ordered no food but what I can tell you is the peice is fair for 8 people (we were two). At the very least $45, 18% gratuities and taxes, which would come to about $58. The song choices are good if you are into rock they have some oldies and just main bands like Avril Lavigne, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, and a more popular artist like them. They have Japanese songs and for sure early 2000’s bops. Overall good experience, just a heads up if they say time is up you can finish the song wish we were told before. (but now we know). The hour starts at check-in (when you get the room. Including the time it takes to explain how it works). A Decent pass time.

There is a service charge that is near equal to the tip amount! It was unclear so we ended up tipping on top of this service charge, which was way too much.Drink options used to be better.Also only iPhones can be used to control songs (that was another change). My Samsung friends had to rely on us for their music selections. I preferred using the touch screen in the room to my phone.

This place was amazing! Not only were the seats extremely plush and comfortable, but WOW, the food! It was great! The fruit was so juicy and sweet and omggg, the wings were super crunchy! Totally recommend this place!

I really like the vibe of this karaoke bar! It has a neo-noir asian vibe. Feels like I'm in downtown shanghai or something. The speakers are pretty good and they have a decent song selection. I docked a star cause their app is so bad. Pro tip: you can make reservations over the phone. We were able to grab a room on Saturday night by calling day of.

Fun clean place to go for Karaoke. Been here two times within 5 months. I would have to say out of all the asian Karaoke places I have been to in over 25 years (LA, SD, and OC), this is the cleanest one with nicer furniture. Service - good for a karaoke place. They are nice and chill. Food/Drinks - we got complimentary fruits and ordered drinks. Can't really review on the food since we didn't order food. Karaoke - it is mainly in chinese. I went with people who are chinese but they can't read chinese... so we were able to get by after the employees explained the tech book on the wall. The hourly rate is cheap or comparable especially for how clean and fancy the furnitures are. Overall, recommend this place. My girlfriends and I love coming here. It's our new spot for Karaoke.

Overall, very excellent! Yeah, the system is not in English and English song choices are limited, think popular songs that aren't brand new or very old. Try to get some ideas before you go so you can get a jump start on a queue. Staff is great, they gave us fruit. Fun 2 hours for a group of 10.

The facilities were nice and it was a cool atmosphere. My 1 star rating is due to the rip off and scheming charges you will have on your receipt.Service charge of $18 for? No food or drinks were served to us.Tip of $28 for? In no way was asked if I'll like to tip, it was simply automatically charge with no question.That's almost $50 added charge with no reasoning nor was it previously stated anyway.Again the establishment is nice but making up charges simply isn't right.

BUYER BEWARE!!! - While the rooms are great, the food is good, and the service is wonderful, the selection of English-language songs is extremely poor and the interface takes at least 30 minutes to figure out, unless you are a tech whiz AND you speak Korean! If I ever learn Korean, Japanese, or Chinese, and become familiar with songs in those languages, I would come back in an instant, but I will have to look for a different place to do Karaoke in the meantime.

Unsafe: this place serves alcohol and has no security. I was in a room with my friends and a drunk girl and her friends came into our room. She called my friends foreigners and told them they don't belong. I stood up and told them to leave and one of them jumped on me to choke me. I was assaulted by people that were under the influence in this establishment. There was no security, the staff did not do anything to make the girls leave and were confused why this was a dangerous situation. If you go to this place expect no assistance from the staff to keep you and your loved ones safe. They serve alcohol but do not have the means to deal with people that have adverse reactions to the substance.

Karaoke audio worked great and good selection of songs. The karaoke user interface is all in Chinese but the host gave us enough instructions to figure it out. English songs and artists display in English. We had lots of fun. But my one gripe is that they automatically charge 18% above their price and call it a mandatory tip. But it isn't a tip on the receipt, just an extra charge, no matter how poor, or good, the service was. Seems like the owner is just overcharging and calling it a tip.

The concept of this place is amazing! It's obviously Asian owned and the idea has come from there because most people know karaoke is a big deal in Asian and pacific islander countries ?. The vibe was nice and though the menu is primarily Asian based it was simple enough to figure it out and make song selections. The only downside is that it's expensive especially if you have a large party (18+). Also, if you're an alcohol consumer their prices are entertainment high (club prices). Overall you'll have a great time even after spending $1,000 ? ??Parking: This is a busy area overall (located on Convoy) so parking is scarce depending on the time of day or season that you choose to go.

Very nice, though a tad expensive it was a lot of fun. We got their biggest room and we had room to spare in there. For sure coming back with a bigger group. We spent about 60 dollars a head, but we ordered a lot so it was really well

Wonderful spot if you do not mind having to do all your karaoke selections in Mandarin(Chinese). This was a terribly disappointing experience and they had such a limited selection. I was utterly dismayed, and will not be going back there again. Parking is terrible, but that’s just Convoy.Parking: Convoy parking is terrible in general.
