If you're a native English speaker looking for private room karaoke, you're better off looking elsewhere (go to Cobra). One of the worst karaoke machines we've ever used as it was impossible to parse or filter through, and the vast majority of available songs are in Chinese. Avoid unless you can speak Chinese, in which case you may enjoy this offering much more.

Classic karaoke with private rooms and a solid bar in a strip mall. Reasonably priced. Fantastic for a night out with friends. Lean into it being exactly what it is - amazing.

A poor experience that deserves no stars.
We were not well greeted as soon as we walked in, as the host immediately started out karaoke machine in the room and said the time has begun without explaining to us the various rates/packages. We asked for clarification and he said 10/hr/px for a party smaller than 5.
The room was very warm, despite feeling the A/C blowing in the hallways. We visited during the summer time, and expected a comfortably cool temperature but when we asked about the temperature, perhaps turning on the A/C, the host said there was nothing he could do. Additionally, the room did not feel clean (couch felt sticky) but it could have also been just the humidity and heat in the room.
We tried to have a good time anyway and ended up singing for three hours. For 2 persons, that should be 60USD total (10/px/hr for less than 5 px was the rate at the time of this writing). We were shocked to hear our bill was 74USD. When asked why, the host rudely said a gratuity of 15% was added to the bill. (Do the math yourself and you'll notice that total exceeds an added 15% gratuity). This gratuity was completely unexpected as we had not ordered any drinks or snacks. The mandatory 15% gratuity was also not made clear to us in any way prior to starting the session.
We are not sure how 60USD + 15% gratuity amounts to 74USD and was also not offered an itemized receipt when asked for clarification.

For anyone who expects this to be similar to how karaoke is offered in Chinese/Korean culture, don't. Time is counted down even when you don't have a song playing; you pay for the time in the room, not the time of songs. Make sure you personally track your time in the room because it is not apparent anywhere in the room how much time has been accumulated.

Conclusion: would not return and would not want anyone else to.

Worst karaoke place ever!! None of the songs were karaoke version. They were in fact either live performances or excerpts from Chinese singing competition shows. Complimentary tambourines appreciated. Random renaissance paintings and medieval portraiture also appreciated. Stayed an hour after closing and the guy could not have cared less. No search function - all artist names in Chinese characters. Had to manually scroll through 1,400 pages of songs. Ended up singing along to a New Years Eve broadcast from 2010. Asked for chasers with our shots and he said “we only have water.” We’ll be back ?

Nice to have a karaoke room, but selection of songs was confusing and the songs hard to find. A lot of asian selection available though.

Great time with my employees, but it was hard to navigate songs. It was our first time, and we had to ask for help to find songs

Reserved aVIP room a month in advance for 2 hours and 10+ people at $198. The $198 was supposed to include drinks and snacks. we arrived and directed to the VIP room. No one came in to show our group how to work the karaoke equipment without being asked. I had to even ask for the snacks and drinks. The owner, I believe, brought in a single tray of popcorn, a small bowl of pistachios, a single pack of Oreo cookies, 6 waters and 6 beers for 15 people. When I asked him for the snacks and drinks, he said oh yeah, there’s tax and gratuity for snacks and drinks. He didn’t let each individual tip. He added 18% gratuity onto the bill. Total including tax was $243 and some change. This was the worst experience and service ever. I would not recommend this place for company group outings or anything else for that matter. The owner even said he had a large parking lot and that was not the case at all. The business shares the parking lot with other businesses and spots are reserved for the other businesses with no parking signs posted. All I have to say is we will never be back. Poor service, poor experience, poor everything!

Angry Manager and very expensive

Visited for a birthday party. The system to find music is a little clunky but otherwise it's very cool.

It was nice getting together with friends in this place. BUT, BEWARE, you get an automatic tip charge at the end known as gratuity tips without notice even if you order no food or drinks. I just wanted to warn other unsuspecting people about this issue.

Our group had a lot of fun here! A great experience topped off with a very friendly bartender made for a uniquely fun night out!
