All time favorite karaoke place in Duluth. I've gone to tons where I have gotten scammed and had to pay more for the time that I didn't ask for when I didn't run over, or I've been cut short on the complementary time they always give, but this place is different. During the week the guy who works at the front is always really nice. They also have such a good song selection and tend to have all the new songs as soon as they come out. My only wish is that they had more videos for exo and got7 for their songs. But besides that I love it !

This place wasn't too bad. It was my first time going to a karaoke bar so that was a fun thing to experience. Whenever we went it said no smoking in the front of the store but whenever I walked in I noticed there was still a stench of cigarettes. My party already got there before my fiancé and I got there, so we didn't have to see what was that like to check in. But we were in room three which was directly to your left it was the first door on your left in the hallway. And it was right across the bathroom which was very convenient for us. Whenever you go inside the room they have a whole round of really soft comfortable couches. And the couches have a pillow built into it so it's a really nice thing. The rooms of a dork and they have strobe lights so that was a little difficult to read the book of songs. Whenever you get the books, I only got to see one of the two... But the one that I read over half of it was in Korean and there was a small section that had some English songs. And so I saw a lot of good variety songs, but they could have some more new were American songs. But I understand that this is a Korean karaoke bar so it's a little bit different. But the types of American songs that they do have would be enough to keep your body entertained, in my Opinion I didn't really handle the controller to add to music as my friends did that, but it was really nice that you were able to search based on the song or the artist and you can find Korean or English. The music videos for the video songs are a little odd because they are based on either a Korean pop star group with just the English word or just based on some kind of Korean drama. So there is a little disconnect between there but it was funny nonetheless. I would come back here again, the only issue that I find was the stillness stench the room was a little hard. I am not sure if they provide water or my group just want to head and bought water, but we had some water which was really nice because after a few hours people stores tend to get very dry. For six people, it ended up costing approximately $106. And we also bought some snacks and some soda you so I don't know if that has increased surprise but either way I thought was a pretty good deal for what it was. And we stay there for a few hours so we got our moneys worth in my opinion.

So I'll just start off by saying I'm very much a white girl. No Korean in my blood but I belted our the tunes with the best of them! Very very friendly staff! The cleanest Karaoke place I've ever been. Was there for my 15 year olds birthday party so I didn't drink so can't give my comments on the drink menu.

A group of us went to this karaoke place twice. The first time we went around midnight and it was heavily filled with cigarette smell which was nasty and the sign did said no smoking but I guess they really don't enforce it. Busier the later you go. We tried it again for the second time but went earlier when it's time to open and it's a whole lot better. No cigarette smell, almost empty, clean, and the younger guy who was in charged at that time was very helpful, telling us all of the info we needed to know. The karaoke room itself is great. 2 to 3 books depending on which room you get, and a lot of cool features. Definitely worth your $20 an hour if your go earlier.

I am korean but this place is racist towards non Koreans. They will say the wait is 45 mins or longer but if a korean person walks in they get you in right away. Not right at all. I hate people like this even if we are not the same nationality you should never disrespect people like that when you own a business.

Meh. It's too expensive. Apparently it's $20 for crummy soju cocktail and $20 per hour of karaoke. This is probably the most I've paid EVER at karaoke. Song selection isn't very good if you are not a Korean person so keep that in mind.

Went here to celebrate a friend's birthday. The rooms are spacious, gorgeous and well decorated. We went on a weekday evening so we had no wait and were given a room immediately. This place is brand new so the TV's, the music videos were all very high quality and current. This is a classic Korean noraebong place so they had the terrible, but expected echoing mics that I could not for the life of me adjust to a lower setting. The song selection remote was tricky to use even with the English translations. We were a group of 4, and paid 20$ an hour. If you want a classic and posh-feeling noraebong experience this is the place to do it!

This Karaoke bar is GREAT! I love how the rooms are clean and quite spacious. There was a plethora selection of songs to choose from. The service was great too~ You can tell the staff really do care about your experience there. It isn't as cramped as the other karaoke bars i've been to in Duluth area. The food also tastes better and not so run down like the other places. I highly recommend this place!!!

This place is a total bang for buck place with amazing Korean finger food that goes along with drinks. As a decent Korean I would visit Karaoke every once in awhile but wasn't plan on visit one during my short trip. I'm glad I did as it offered great Korean-hospitality room service experience. As other yelpers already pointed out this establishment has outstanding sound system so either for food or entertainment, you can really go both ways in this place and won't be hurting your wallet for a good night out. Will visit again next time when I'm in town!!

Out of all the karaoke bars in duluth, everysing definately has the best sound system/quality. Owners/employees(I've only ever seen one korean lady working the counter and making food) are friendly and not pushy. wish they had mixed drinks or aleast bigger selection like luxor, but oh well. +25 points for being clean +25 points for service +50 for best sound system

Pros Very clean karaoke room and bathrooms. Nice private karaoke setup with 2 TV's and 2 wireless mics. Friendly staff (which was 1 person) They let us decorate the room for a party ( I took about 30 minutes and they didn't charge us for the time). We brought our own cakes. Cons The menu does not have enough traditional american food and doesn't explain their cuisines. We ordered a fruit tray which was like $15 and i didn't eat one bite because it was tossed in sauce, which i didn't ask for. We ordered french fries which were good. We ordered lemon pepper wings which were nasty (weird grease flavor). We ordered fried dumplings which we thought would just be fried dough in a ball form, but it was not and it was filled with veggies. All non alcoholic beverages are purchased from the front desk in cans. Communication was a big problem. Lack of staff was a big problem. I promise you I saw the same lady greet me, show me how to use the karaoke machine, bring my food, clean the bathroom, and take my payment. Seems like a lot of cons BUT, the lady there was friendly and we had a great time doing something different. PLUS, i was quoted $30/an hour for the big room that held about 15 people, but at the end when i paid she only charged me $40! we were there for 3 hours. At the end of the day I would go again with friends because it was fun, BUT I would only drink bottled beer and not order any food.

This karaoke place have very spacious rooms and the service is super friendly. We went there recently for a friend's birthday and the place seems dead and quiet but the acoustic and sound is very well contained to each room. It was quite busy inside. If you buy a bottle of alcohol, they give you 2 free hours ($20/hour) so it ended up being pretty cheap for a large group (10+).

Best karaoke in town. One of the few places that actually checks IDs. I am tired of running into little drunk Asian kids who start crap and end up yelling at each other and starting fights. Very friendly owners and the service is definitely on point.

This place is starting to climb on the top of my recommended places to go karaoke. Rooms can accommodate quite a large number of people even the smaller rooms can hold a surprising number of people and yet still be comfortable. Rooms allow smoking so it's the digression of your friends whether someone will smoke or not. Song selection isn't THE newest, but I don't think any of my friends sing the newest song anyways. We all have our go-to songs and throwbacks (gotta love the 90's) which everyone knows and jams too. I particularly like this place because I do get better service here than other places (not to name any names). Sometimes, I wouldn't get good service or felt like I was told to wait when other koreans didn't and this place dissipates that notion. Prices are really cheap in my opinion, 20 bucks an hour. Order enough food and drinks (if you have a large party, this is not a problem) and they'll just let you sing for free. I can't remember what the cut off is when they didn't charge us but service for everything was quick and friendly, couldn't ask for more. One time, stayed a little past closing time for a total of about 1.5 hours and they only charged for 1 hour. They are awesome for doing that, it's stuff like that where I would recommend this place.

Everyone in my family loves to sing, so we go to a noraebang (private Karaoke room) at least once every two or three months. A friend of mine recently had a birthday celebration there and told me that it was a good noraebang with reasonable hourly rates - $20/hour for a group of 6 or less people, and $30/hour for larger groups. To celebrate my brother's high school graduation (YAY, CONGRATS to my favorite brother!!!), our family decided to check out Everysing. My siblings laughed when I suggested "Everysing," and my dad asked "Do you mean 'Everything'?"... HAHA... The noraebang's cute name is literally the way Koreans pronounce "everything." =) Anyway, we went around 10 pm on a Friday night and found that the place was kind of dead. The employee at the counter told us to go to one room, then changed his mind three times and finally offered us a large room. It was probably large enough to seat at least 12 people comfortably, so the six of us had plenty of space to stretch out and relax. Nice! Initially, my family and I were happy that the room didn't reek of smoke as many Korean karaoke places do. However, about 10 minutes later, we started to smell cigarette smoke trailing in from the room next door. Boo... I usually don't use the song books to search for songs and enter them by number as I prefer to use the remote to search by artist or title. (NOTE: Unfortunately for those who can't read Korean, the remotes are going to be a challenge to use since the tiny words on the buttons are written in Korean.) However, I usually like to flip to the back to see what new songs they have. Unfortunately, the newer songs were not new at all. They were probably from late last year or early this year. Not good. Although they didn't have some of the newer songs that other noraebangs (like my favorite, Ai Tunes) have, our family still had a good time. Also, to our surprise and delight, after about an hour of singing, we saw a notice on the TV screen that we were given 30 bonus minutes for free! That was really nice. As the time was getting down to 5 minutes left, my sister asked if we could have 30 minutes added or if we had to get a full hour. Fortunately, we were able to get 30 more minutes for an $10. Overall, Everysing Karaoke gets 3.5 hours for their friendly service and affordable hourly rates for karaoke. We really appreciated the free 30 minute bonus and the fact that they let us add an additional half hour, which allowed us to sing for two hours for only $30! However, we were a little disappointed that they didn't have newer song selections. We didn't get any food or drinks since we had a big dinner, so unfortunately I can't speak to that. We may return if we hear that they do a better job of updating their songs more frequently, but with the numerous noraebang options, we easily may not return. We'll just have to see...
