    Pork cutlet
    Sherwin C.

    Fun place to enjoy karaoke and Korean food at a surprisingly affordable price. For people who are going here for the first time there's some things that would be good to know: 1. Much of the song list is in a foreign language (Korean, Chinese, etc.) Most of the selection in English is pop music so most of the music you'll find is ones that were popular in the radio in the last half century -- limited if you're looking for show tunes, oldies, pop opera, etc. 2. The food may seem a little pricey at first, but if you look at my pictures you'll see that these are more party sized portions. Each dish can easily feed more than one person (in particular, the fried chicken). 3. Service is quick and friendly and you do not need to know Korean. The staff is very helpful with everything from getting extra utensils to taking a group picture. With that said, it's quite an enjoyable experience and I've paid more at other spots for less food and worse karaoke experience. I didn't find any of the spicy items here to be too hot, appropriate I think for those who have a lower spice tolerance. I particularly enjoyed items that were fried and found them to be quite crispy. Audio quality was pretty good as well. The design of the room helped to isolate the noise between rooms and prevent the sound from bouncing around the walls too much. The microphones were also above average in picking up the sound of the vocals. Overall, fun karaoke experience and delicious food here make it a good choice to celebrate or have a fun evening out.

    My husband and I went to Agit to celebrate a friend's birthday. There were nine of us who went. Two hours of karaoke cost $120. For food, we ordered the bulgogi (Thinly sliced rib eye marinated in sweet savory soy sauce. Served with rice), fried chicken with salad (fried whole chicken in the pieces with pickled radish and spicy sauce on the side), tteokbokki (Spicy Korean street food. Rice cakes and fish cakes in red chili sauce are served with assorted tempura), seafood scallion pancake, deep fried pork cutlet (breaded deep-fried pork with special sauce), and the spicy pork bulgogi. The food was good but it was not very distinct from food that you can find at other Korean restaurants. Despite charging above average prices, there were many elements that seemed very cheap. We were served with plastic glasses, plastic silverware, and paper boats as plates. These plastic boats almost fell apart. We were given no serving utensils with our dishes. We all had a good time, but there are other places that I would try before coming back.

    The buttons are not in English but there is a translation on the wall

    So fair warning, this is my first karaoke experience so I can't really compare it to anything. Let's get into it! My first impression wasn't great because walking in I got a big whiff of a strong cleaning chemical smell. Not what you want to smell when you walk into any establishment that serves food. That said, I really liked the vibe of the place. Dim lights, neon, and all the other visual elements give the place that late night party style I like to see. We had a large group, and personally I'm not sure which size room we had reserved but with 9 of us it was a very tight fit, a few of us had to stand. The set up here is all in Korean (I think). There's a translation on the wall so you can figure out the buttons and set up, and the book with the song list is in multiple languages but flipping through it is a bit confusing. When your renting by the hour you can't afford to waste too much time finding a good song so this set up is somewhat inconvenient. The selection wasn't too inclusive but plenty of hits made the cut so most people will be able to find something that appeals. I felt like the songs were playing too fast. I understand that's a common practice to allow for more songs per session, but it seemed really fast to me. Keeping up with some songs was tough. We could hear people in the next room singing, but only when our own music wasn't playing so that's not a real issue. The food was good enough. Reasonably priced for what seemed like party sized entrees. The fried chicken was just ok but there was a lot of it. The spicy pork and the pork cutlet both stood out as tasty and well prepared. Service was a highlight of the experience. There's a buzzer by the door if you need anything and they were always quick to respond. Overall I had a good time. I'd give them a 3.5 if I could but I just didn't feel like it hit 4 stars for me. I'd like to come back and just try some different food and drinks but I don't know if I'd want to karaoke here again.

    Came here to celebrate my birthday ! Had a great time and the food was delicious. Portions were generous which are more than enough to share and very tasty. We got the champong (which their known for) - seafood noodle soup. Also ordered the brisket salad, volcano egg casserole (very cheesy), fried chicken (half spicy). Tteokbokki with ramen and cheese, and an order of Kimchee fried rice. Out of all the orders what stood out was the Kimchee fried rice, the fried chicken, and the seafood soup!

    First time trying this place but I've heard of it. They have private karaoke rooms that I have yet to try. So stay tuned! We came here after the Twice concert. They are one of the few places that was open late. And when we were done eating the place was almost full! That was 12 or 1am in the morning. Very nice and chill place. The food was ahhhmazing. We ordered their the following: Grilled Sausage with Tteokbokki - this is very cheesy so if you are not into cheese this dish wont be for you. Beef Brisket Fried Rice - this was also good but theres a bit of a spice to it. Beef Bulgogi - this was really delicious and its definitely a must try dish. Rolled Egg Omelet - for me it was ok. I prefer the steamed egg. Seafood Pancake Scallops - i liked this. They overcooked the egg to the point that there was a bit of a crunch to it. Its a bit pricey but what korean place isnt. The only thing was one of the servers we felt like he didnt really wanna serve. Oh well. Lol Definitely going back. Especially wanna try Karaoke. Happy eating!

    My cousins in suburban Chicago and I made up for lost time at this happening spot last night. It was an evening that was about three years in the making since COVID-19 dashed our plans to visit the last time I was here. As an American of Filipino descent, I'm well aware how karaoke is to my people like soccer is to our Latino/a cousins. When I'm invited to do karaoke, 10 times out of 10 I'd accept. Hanging out here capped off what had turned out to be a super fun Saturday that began with my niece's high school graduation party. It was the best three hours we spent as a family, belting out everything from Taylor Swift to Foo Fighters to BTS. I had a blast to the point I forgot the establishment serves food. And speaking of food, we had a couple of starters that were good. One of them, the Grilled Sausage and Rice Cakes, was really good. I then learned that reservations for a room are usually recommended. That said, it was really cool of the place to allow us to get ours on the spot.

    Amazing spot for any person, couple or group looking to do something fun for a change while eating some super delicious food. If y'all ain't familiar with Korean style karaoke rooms (otherwise known as 노래방). Different from western style, 노래방 (no-Rae-bang) are private sound proofed rooms for you and your friends to hang out in. You can eat all the foods (except for stews and soups at Agit) and just sing all the songs you want. The staff is super friendly and setting time or extending is very easy as you tell your staff how long you want to be singing. If you're nervous it's ok. All you gotta do is take a shot or two of soju and just sing with no care in your mind. It's all for fun and Agit does a wonderful job making sure the vibes stay steady and immaculate Awesome place! And we'll be coming back more often! 감사합니다 아지트!

    Grilled Baby Octopus
    Gluterie M.

    This place is a proper Korean bar equipped with karaoke rooms and delicious Korean dishes. The vibe is casual and lively. And the food, it's amazing and the portions are very generous. I went here for a GNO and a birthday and both times, the food and service did not disappoint. Perfect for both occasions. We started with grilled baby octopus and have tried the grilled beef brisket salad, beef intestine and rice cakes, half fried and half spicy chicken, and ended each night with spicy seafood soup (jjampong). Each dish came out fast and fresh. Honestly this is the perfect place to have a chill time with friends and eat well at the same time. Look no further if you're struggling to find a place to eat/hang! You won't regret it!

    Agit Rice Bowl

    I'm probably the least versed on Korean food, but adventurous to try anything. A friend recommended this place and the food was great! Note, again, I am not well-versed, so can't speak of the authenticity, but my friend's been to Korea and she said this food was good. For an appetizer, we got some potstickers, which were deep fried and came with this spicy mayo cabbage garnish. It was off to great start. We had some spicy Korean rice cake, aka. Tteok-bokki. If you don't know what that is, its considered Korean street food and consists of rice cakes and fish cakes in red chili sauce served with assorted tempura. Bong! It was fantastic. I don't know if its legit or not, but my friend asked for cheese on top, which the server did not blink an eye about. So I assume that's a normal thing to do? We also had the grille baby octopus, which was righteously good. Not chewy, packing with flavor, and just a good time to demonstrate your chopsticks capabilities. Service was great, the food was great, and the overall experience... great! BATHROOM REVIEW: Located in the middle of the place, the bathrooms were somewhat dingy, but got the job done. Everything was in working order, and pleasant. Sit or squat? Squat.

    kimchi fried rice
    Kelly L.

    My group of four ordered two orders tornado potatoes, buldack chicken with cheese, kimchi fried rice, bulgogi tacos, and fried calamari! The fried calamari was mixed in with some fried onions and jalapenos. It was well coated in the batter. Everyone's favorite of the night had to be the tornado potatoes, it was so well fried and kept its shape which is super nice. This is more of a street food which we all didn't know a restaurant sold around the Chicago land suburbs!! It came with honey mustard and ketchup. The kimchi fried rice was kept hot being in the stone plate and we loved detail with the egg all around and topped with cheese and seaweed flakes. The buldack chicken unexpectedly had a barbeque sweet flavor to it and was definitely spicy to its name. It also came with small rice cakes! The bulgogi tacos weren't too much of a showstopper in flavor and made us feel heavy. Overall the meal felt to be on the pricier end for the portion that was given, but definitely would come back for those potatoes. We also would try their soju cocktail punches served in its respective fruit that we didn't get the chance as they were unavailable at the time.

    Looks underwhelming but delicious. :)

    How late do you take food orders on weekends?

    Are there any vegetarian/non-meat options available?

    We do have some. Not many l, but you can always request it without meat and extra veggie or tofu. Just let the server know and we’ll try to accommodate as much as we can.

    What are the general prices of the Karaoke rooms per hour?

    Sorry it's was a birthday celebration for me so I had no knowledge of the bill

    Do we have to make a reservation ahead of time for a private karaoke room?

    No, not usually.

    If you want to do Karaoke, does everyone need to be 21?

    No, only if they drink alcohol.

We didn't try any food since we came from a late dinner but I could see how it would add to the ambience.

The place is decorated well with k pop music videos playing on tvs throughout. Because it just opened, we were one of the few groups yet service was still pretty slow (we kept looking for a button to call the waiter as many korean restaurants have). We ordered the following - prices were a bit high overall: - kimchi fried rice: the cheese made this nice and savory and this was the best bang for your buck because of the portion - galbi: pretty tasty but small pieces - chicken feet stew: this came out cold so we had to send it back- they had forgotten to bring out the portable burner that comes with the dish. Otherwise this was very spicy (which I liked) and a big portion - bossam: my favorite dish. Lots of sides that came with the pork belly, which was great because none of the other dishes came with banchan or kimchi. Rice is usually an extra cost, but the server gave it to us complementary during this visit. I'm glad I tried a lot of dishes and had tasty Korean bar food! I'd recommend giving it a try.

They were all very supportive of people singing and gave us tips about how to search for songs on the app if we wanted to do that instead of look through the book. The karaoke seems to be first come first served, so we got there a little after 10 and no one from our group sang until 2am (from what I heard the next day. I tapped out at 1:30am). The same handful of people kept singing every few songs, so they must have all gotten there early and put in like 20 songs each. There were also a lot of repeats (I heard "What's Up?" by 4NB 4 times in the first hour I was there). It would be nice if the KJ bumped newer people up sooner before circling back to people who had already sung like 7 times, and if they pushed back song repeats, but in the end we're all just there for a good time and everyone sings along to everything, so it's fine. They card everyone and do scrutinize closely, which is good. One younger-looking girl in our group had to pull back her hair to prove it was her in her photo because her license photo had her hair slicked back. Food was decent. I didn't drink anything but the people I was with seemed happy with their drinks/they kept ordering more. They have video slots. One person in our group won $60 and one person lost $10 in 30 seconds, so it's hit or miss lol. I didn't go to the bathroom while I was there so I can't speak to cleanliness that other reviewers have mentioned. They're open to 4am, which is awesome. I tapped out at 1:30 because I'm old now, but if I was in my 20s I'd love the 4am thing. I'd go back with a group again.

We ordered a variety of dishes to share for our party of 3. We ordered the seafood pancake, bossam, garlic wings and the budae hot pot. It was plenty of dishes for the three of us to try. The seafood pancake was good and prepared perfectly with lots of filling. The bossam was cooked well too and came with a big plate of toppings and sides to go with it, all of which were good. The garlic wings was not very much like Korean fried chicken but more had like just an Asian taste to it. The skin was not super crispy and cooked like typical KFC. Though still decent taste. Also came with some fries and some deep fried duk. The budae hot pot was large and shareable. The ramen came already cooked in the pot rather than sitting on top uncooked. The dish was not as spicy as thought, which was nice. Lots of meats and stuff inside. Overall a great meal here.

There was of course, a large screen, speakers, and a remote for controlling the karaoke machine. They givev you a huge Bible of songs but we just used the handheld to load up all the songs we wanted. Two microphones were shared but we just sang outloud anyway. The rating system was weird cause many times it gave us a 00, which we just turned into a 100. Haha. They tried to match the background based on the song choice most of the time it was totally off. My friend ordered all the food so I have no idea what we got. I just know it was all good.

I got a side of Glass Noodles to eat with it, but I didn't like these noodles. Glass noodles are one of my fave noodles normally. The Army Stew with Ramen Noodles was good, but the flavor was pretty monotonous so it got boring fast. Their kimchi was okay and I wish it didn't have some of the ingredients like the pepperoni.

The food, though... the only thing I have had and wasn't all-in on was the Caesar Wrap, because it was an oil based dressing rather than creamy and it was very messy - everything else I've had (wings, burger, fries) have been quite tasty! Yes, I'll be back, I like the Saturday-Night karaoke, the bartenders and the food.

    Saturday night when your inner vocals come out to sing!!! Come out, have a drink, meet some…read morestrangers, bond over some karaoke!!! They have great daily specials, staff are friendly and great! Recommend...
