Hawaii voice I had…read morean amazing experience at this karaoke bar! The atmosphere was lively, fun, and perfect for a night out with friends. As soon as we walked in, the staff welcomed us with great energy and were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. The karaoke setup was fantastic with a huge song selection and a great sound system that made everyone sound like a star. Whether you're a confident singer or just singing for fun, the crowd and staff make you feel comfortable getting up on stage. One thing that really stood out was the food--it was absolutely amazing. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and way better than what you'd normally expect from a bar. The food alone makes this place worth visiting. Between the incredible staff, the fun karaoke atmosphere, and the delicious food, this place is easily one of the best spots for a night out. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to have a great time with good music, great people, and amazing food. I'll definitely be coming back! When you come look for Basa, Hannah, jojo, Brit and Christina they will take good care of you.

A gem hidden in plain sight…read more My friends and I spontaneously wanted to sing karaoke on a Saturday night. I obviously didn't plan this lol So we called a few places and I remembered seeing Hawaii Voice on the news and I was always inteigued about the experience of this place. We called and they could accommodate us right away. We headed there and they had the beautiful room all ready to go. The room was huge and clean! Decorations were colorful and bright. The couches were very comfortable and clean. The TVs were HUGE! They were the biggest screens I've ever had for karaoke. The system has plenty of features, and for some, it may be "too much". They offer they're own karaoke catalog system, an older karaoke system (no videos, just lyrics), and YouTube was also integrated. One of the karaoke systems was cool cause you could see the music videos and can sing along. The only thing we noticed for some songs, the synchronization of music and lyrics were off so just make sure you know the song, otherwise, you're gonna be a beat behind. Also, the YouTube system didn't allow ANY song to be sung. The system didn't support some well-known karaoke channels because of the video formats. Lastly, the choice of Japanese songs was bare, but that's not really a problem if you don't sing Japanese songs. They have drinks and food, but we only ordered drinks because we already ate...and we like alcohol. They had a fairly good selection for hards and beers. Sorry, I cannot give an opinion on food. Staff is awesome. We met the owner and he treated us so well. To squeeze us in on a Saturday was a treat, and also a lesson to us on better planning (well, my friends, not me because this wouldn't have happened lol). If you wanna sing karaoke with friends and let out some energy, give this place a try! It's beautiful and will make any karaoke experience fun!

Sharing my experience for Cafe Den Mau, which I didn't know this place even exist. A hidden secret…read more Our plans for private karaoke room at our usual spot was filled so this is the reason we are here at Cafe Den Mau. I've been here twice and my opinion it was fun but very interesting place. Recommended by my older brother who frequents Cafe Den Mau often. Located at the Yee Hop Plaza on North King Street, same building as Hawaii Dim Sum & Seafood, (after our dinner there) we went straight up to the 2nd floor. Note getting to Cafe Den Mau is a little sketchy, scary in the building but once you arrive its not as bad after all. hehe. You will enter a long corridor, the 2nd floor looks abandoned, old, but there are other businesses in this plaza. The size of Cafe Den Mau is small but perfect, there are a few tables, even a stage with disco lights, drums, and piano. Kind of like in Vietnam although I haven't been but this is what I heard from another customer. husband Jimmy and wife team runs the karaoke spot from 9-2 am nightly. ( best to call if you plan to visit, have questions, or would like to reserve a table or private party.) limited drinks, mostly beer and wine are available, free to bring wine with a fee. ( $20.-30) per bottle. We brought 3 bottles during my first visit with my siblings. You can also bring pupus. Selecting songs are easy, all digital. All songs are available, both our visits, seems like we all were happy with selecting our song choices. We all enjoyed ourselves, first time experience. We even went up to the stage to sing, dance and receiving fake colorful flowers with $1.tip. Fyi, If you do receive flowers with tip, that will belong to the owners. It goes back in the bucket for the owners. hehe. We visited the 2nd time with friends ( 2 Fridays in a row) the same impression, getting to the Karaoke spot, seeing the impression on their faces ( sketchy) but they actually had a great time singing, hanging out, observing the other party that was there. We bought 4 bottles of beer this time, didn't BYOB but I brought chips, dips and some desserts to snack on. The Heineken were $6. and Corona were $8. All in all, first time visiting a Vietnamese Karaoke bar and we will def. be back! Parking available in the back of building's private lot, after hours no need to pay the meter or street parking I know you wouldn't want to park on the street due to the homeless situation at Chinatown.

The place is clean, spacious, and the AC is cold…read more There are a handful of karaoke rooms to choose from with a great selection of modern music and old. Strangely I had issues finding Disney songs. Maybe it's a licensing thing or just that room? Plenty of alternative songs and classics. The fried chicken wings were delicious- I've tried a handful of them. Garlic is a little too garlic (girlfriend destroyer). Spicy is good. Spicy shoyu is good. Honey one was super good. Their oden soup was really good. And their tacos were actually not bad- a little odd with some flavors but they were overall good. Fried mandoo slaps. I haven't really been disappointed by the food yet. Hope that stays true. Service was good- the staff make rounds every so often and kept our water and drinks filled. The staff remember me and always greet me warmly. I always feel like I'm attended to. Cons: It can get busy. Service lags when it's busy. The bathrooms are small. The men's bathroom stall is for smaller people. I had to use the toilet once and maneuvering in the stall was challenging to say the least. There was always enough hand towels. I'll be back!

We came here late night for some soju--maybe that's why the place felt the tiniest bit…read moresticky/dirty? However, their menu of soju is wild; there's so much variety! We got: Dubai Chocolate: This just tasted like nestle hot cocoa--I would skip this. Ube: BOMB. DA BEST. Like wow if you mixed ube-taro ice cream with soju you would get this fantastic concoction. I still dream of this. Yogurt soju: A classic that's delicious. Brown sugar: This tasted a little bit like boba, but it can't compare to that ube. I'd come back here just for that ube soju, but I heard their apps were pretty good too--I just didn't get the chance to try.

Absolutely the best spot on island when it comes to fun environment, good drinks and amazing food…read more I've been going here for couple years and it's been the best hang out spot especially for the car scene peeps. Always a good vibe. The owners are so nice and always cares for us. The workers alone do a killer job at making sure we're taken care of even though we can be needy when it comes to their soju, which is hands down the best! Blessed to have them and you'll never be disappointed! Thank you Lei & John

Folks - You want a piece of history - this is YOUR place to go to!…read more Oldest continuous in Hawaii!! So what who cares you say? Let me drop some history bombs on you folks - There are only 12 survivors left alive from the infamous day of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. 12!!!!! The sole last survivor of the Arizona was interred a few years back. Now THIS BAR - I got a WHOLE HISTORY LESSON!!! Wanna know where your granny's and uncle's hooch was coming from during the Roaring 20's guess wheeeeeere? Cuz this bar still has the trap door that lets you to gueeees where - you you know it a harbor!!!!! The barkeep there gave me a very good intro of the entire history - test there was a brothel upstairs (most bars did to appease the lonely mil folk before going off to war - or even earlier) The floors is original - so is the thick glass for the actual bar. What my barkeep also informed me - was each naval ship had their own designated bar. This particulate one was designated to the USS Arizona. so when you go have yer beverage here - tread carefully, you just might've walking on the very same floor your grandfather, great uncle or great grandfather did . Do NOT disrespect this sacred place! Oh by the bay the day have really cool shirts. They also run an operation to donate to those in need. ask the barkeep for details. When you go here use yer utmost respect - and do not desecrate this place. Consider this sacred ground! for those who passed before us!!! And if you happen to spill a lil bit of beer or whatever yer drinking - that's a term of respect for the ancestors. But please respect the historical significance. Enjoy

The food is delicious, and the staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality. The karaoke is only $1 per song (most other places charge $2), and the sound system is surprisingly good, which makes singing even more fun. The jokbal (Korean braised pork feet) here is seriously amazing -- one of our favorites -- but make sure to order it in advance since it can sell out. The overall vibe is relaxed and fun, perfect for group hangouts or casual get-togethers. We've never been disappointed here and will definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend!

The girls and I were in Hawaii visiting for our friend's special Birthday!…read more Specifically, the birthday girl requested for karaoke. We looked at so many places, "ising" being one of them and decided to just yolo and check it out. Right when we came in, the ambiance was nice! The workers were super welcoming. We forgot to get his name, but the male worker greeted us and got us into a room right away. He was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed, checked up on us frequently and got us an ube cocktail for the birthday girl! We had so much fun and would highly recommend this place. We were too full to eat, but next time we come back we will definitely try their snacks.

But they've redone the entire interior and Hype Soju Bar is now awesome and not sketchy at all! Everything's shiny and new. The bar and lounge area are fun, with a giant projector and open karaoke. Bartenders and servers are friendly and service is top-notch. The kitchen also gets 5 stars from me, with a huge variety of standard American and Korea bar food staples. I can never pass up on some mandoo and oden, even if I've come straight from dinner. The private karaoke rooms are also very nice. Great sound systems. The machines are Korean so good luck if you don't speak/read Korean, but it's not too hard to figure out. The only thing I don't like is that the mics are wired, and it's kind of a hassle to have the wires running across the room, especially when people are trying to go in and out when heading to the bathroom or mingling in the lounge area. But the reasonable hourly prices make any shortcomings totally worth it. Highly recommend this place for a spur of the moment night out, or a pre-planned shebang for a large group. Guaranteed fun times!

I've been coming to GS every so often since 2014 and never had a bad experience... till recently…read more While my friends and I were making sure the bill was accurate, we noticed that the room charge on the receipt stated 8+ hours even though we were there for about 5 hours. We also noticed a gratuity fee of roughly 15% added to our total so we discussed if we should leave a bigger tip or not. As we talked amongst ourselves, one of the bar workers suddenly came up to us and started cussing us out. Stating "we have cameras here and I'll show you. Get the f*ck out. F*ck you guys. Don't ever f*cking come back." We were caught off guard and were confused as to why he was being so defensive and aggressive. Extremely unprofessional. このカラオケバーは、私が2014年ぐらいからたまに遊びに行っているところです。悪い経験は今まで特になかったんですが最近、ひどい事があってもう二度とGSには行きたくないと思いました。 お会計をする時、お勘定の再確認をしたくて友達と話し合ってたときに急にバーで働いてる人が私たちの目の前に来て突然怒鳴り始めたんです。「何か文句あったら早く言え、早く払え、早く出ていけ」と言われました。 私達が話していたのは、5時間ぐらいしかカラオケルームを使用してなかったのに、なぜお勘定には8時間と書いてあるのかとか、Open gratuityのところに15%のチップが書いてあるから、チップはもう含まれてるのか、などよく分からないことがあったのでお店に確認してみようかということだけでした。 なのに、お店の中から急に出てきた人は、私たちを大声でひどくののしり始めました。納得できるならいつも喜んで料金を支払ってきたのに、よく確認もせずお客さんをののしるなんて、客商売をする資格はないと思いました。私も仕事で接客業務をするので、自分の言い方や態度にはいつも気をつけています。 そういう人を雇ってるオーナーもどうかと思います。残念です。とても嫌な経験をしました。
