I legit come here for a full dinner as well as a drink. If I had to eat only one food for the rest of my life I would choose their cheesy potatoes in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!“

“This is a great place to dance, especially when a certain DJ is playing. I recommend checking their website or social media to see what music will be featured for the night. The venue is small, so it can get crowded, and the air circulation isn't the best, making it feel quite hot at times. However, there’s a nice outdoor area toward the back if you need a break. You can dance near the DJ on stage or hang out at the tables near the entrance and the bar seating if you prefer a more relaxed vibe. Overall, a fun spot with good energy!“

The rooms are nice, clean, and well decorated.
The music selection is great and I love that they give you the option of using either the traditional Korean Karaoke machine or just using YouTube.
While the drinks at the bar are pricey, they do allow outside food which is definitely a plus.
The staff there has always been kind and attentive. Never had any problems.
Even though the parking lot is quite small, I've personally never struggled with parking.
Overall great karaoke spot and will continue to come back.“

We had our rehearsal dinner there, and it was exactly what we wanted. Very much our style. Saved us a bunch of money doing it there vs our other options. And the nice thing was that we were able to cater whatever food we wanted there.

We also got the spirits for our wedding through them. They had the best prices from everything we vetted, and we were able to return all the unopened bottles that were leftover after the event.

Thanks again to Dillon, the owner, who is a really nice guy!“
