Great spot, they always have availability and you can bring in your own food (but not drinks). You’ll see some old reviews mentioning a drink minimum but they don’t seem go have that anymore. Music catalogue is healsonic and it’s easy to add songs from the app on your phone. Staff is nice, you can reserve a room SUPER fast via text and they are clear about rules, I think this also changed from the past. They take ID checks seriously, you NEED your physical ID. Been here a bunch and the experience has always been fine.
They were very transparent with pricing and hosted us with such kindness! Eric was the best host you can ask for! Great vibes, great song selections, great karaoke bar! Thank you Eric for making our night!

boooooo make sure u clarify their drink packages bc we clearly told them that we wanted the one that was $35ish per person for their all you can drink package. my friends started ordering and they never explicitly said the ones they got weren’t a part of it so by the time we got the bill, it was $705 for a group of 6 girls LOL — and they swore at us in Korean when we tried to get clarification after… i thought they were better than this:(((((( song selection was good but honestly not worth it bc they weren’t being honest about the the charges… fwiw my group argued against the charges and as soon as we brought it up, they immediately brought up a new receipt with the expected charges as if they knew they fcked up 😴 craaaaaaaazy bc i go here regularly with other friends, but the one time i go for girls’ night it felt like they were trying to scam us and thought they’d be able to pull it off….. sadge

Great vibe
Fun and worth it. They keep strict time but give you opportunity to extend if no rsvp after you.

The cons unfortunately outweigh the pros. It's an alright place if you're going with 1 or 2 other people for a casual session, and they're really quick to get you a reservation, even on the weekends. They use healsonic for their karaoke system and some songs that aren't available at other locations fortunately work! However, the microphones kept cutting out through the entire 2 hour session, and the speakers kept popping. The usual disco lighting system was creaking and whirling a bunch- that we at first thought was genuine defect. For the pricing, I think it's kind of ridiculous, but for a last minute place, it'll get the job done. Try to go a little later than 7 since they won't have made any soju flavors earlier than that.
Wheelchair accessibility: There's an elevator! The hallways are a bit narrow but a single wheelchair can easily fit.

Drinks were watered down, my friend had 4 cocktails and didn’t feel tipsy at all and has a very low tolerance. I’d avoid at all costs if you plan on ordering drinks other than beer. Otherwise this place was fine for a night of karaoke. The mics blew out a few times but still had a decent night. The staff was nice.

If you can find karaoke somewhere else in the city GO ELSEWHERE! First I had confirmed for my big party of about 21 people a month before the date. I called on the day of the actual event to confirm the party size and how many hours which I always said was 3 hours not 2. Some people in my party arrived first and they were told we could only have the room for 2 hours and had to be kicked out after. So when I arrived I ended up disputing that and saying what I confirmed for since the month prior. The man was very nasty and said well all of y’all can get out I’m gonna go kick your party out right now. That was very rude when apparently the different people I spoke to it was always confirmed for 3 hours. Next someone else in my party spoke to the same man and he said we were to move to another room after 9 because it was another large party who reserved for 9. Fast forward that was a lie because no party even so called came for that room and we stayed the WHOLE 3 hours in the same room . Next I noticed as people were ordering drinks at the bar one side of the bar was telling people you couldn’t pay for your stuff at the bar but it had to be billed to the room. The other side of the bar was saying you could pay for your items at the bar if you wanted to. So I called them out on that with several people around and they didn’t like that as well. Oh but it gets better then I discovered that they were charging people different gratuities on their drinks and adding on their own too which was different numbers for different people as well. They were also making up different prices for the drinks as well. For example my cousin ordered the same drink all night. Don Julio and juice which the first one was 20, then his second they charged him $27 and it just kept increasing till his last one was $34. This place is a complete scam from
The way they handle business. The way they talk to people, the way they make up their own prices and add their own tax. COMPLETE SCAM! Also, it gets better they charged my card 2x for the amount of 700. If you can go somewhere else go oh and also they act like they don’t take cash so they can slap your card with the extra gratuity and throw own added tip as if you have to tip them. Don’t waste your time !
I came here with friends late one night and we had a fun time singing and drinking. We got the all-you-can-drink, which is limited but can be cost effective if you hustle. The music selection and the music I listen to have a small overlap but I found a few that worked.

I RARELY give 1-star reviews on Google but here we are.There are sooo many other better options. Don’t come here. Called in advance to reserve. They asked us for IDs when we arrived, which is totally understandable. One of our friends didn’t have her physical ID with her, only a pic of her driver’s license. The manager was so condescending, told us immediately that “no other bars” would take us (untrue because again, we’re ALWAYS in Ktown) and passive-aggressively told us we had to “go home” to get the ID? Turning us down was one thing and we would have totally understood BUT OMG his attitude was so unnecessary ?Anyway, not even 5 mins after that, we luckily were able to finally get a spot in one of our other regular bars and they accepted us with no issues. We also obviously all looked over 21 (because we were all in our 30s ??)Also, we came here on a Saturday night (peak hours) and we thought it was weird that the place was almost empty. I guess that’s why. ??♀️Oh, and when we came in, the place smelled like bleach. STRONG BLEACH SMELL ☠️. Soooo, there’s that too. ?

Well I've been coming to this place for a while now. They are under new management so let's see how it will turn out after renovation.
