I was a little skeptical at first since they use an older system where you select songs using a large tablet style remote instead of a modern digital interface. Also, don't expect the music videos to match your song choices. Many aren't the official versions and sometimes random clips, often K-pop, will play instead. A big plus is that our room had a fan, so it didn't feel stuffy and the temperature was comfortable the whole time. We were also able to get a room right away on a Friday at 7 pm, which was great. Some songs I wanted weren't available, like "Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield, "Stop and Stare" by OneRepublic, and "E.T." by Katy Perry, along with a few others I expected to find. I just moved on when something wasn't there. I will go back.

Plenty of space to sing & dance, and we did just that and had so much fun in our private room! Lots of laughs throughout the night! Check-In: Be sure to arrive just a few minutes before, as you can't go into the rooms any earlier! Our private room was booked from 9 to 11 PM! Medium Sized Room: Plenty of space, cozy plush seating, two music catalogs, microphones with covers, a large table, air conditioning, sound was awesome, there were tambourines, a large screen on the wall & a smaller screen on the other side of the room! Lighting: The lighting was fun and colorful! Catalog: There were a variety of fun songs listed! I would love to see the catalog expanded with more songs; even more fun! As an option, the keypad was also in English! Customer Service: The guy at the front desk was nice, as he showed us around! Parking: Free & plentiful! Overall: Yes, I would easily go to this location again! We had even more energy at the end of the night, because the experience was so much fun! All-around good vibes! Thanks again!

This place is obviously a Karaoke bar with private karaoke rooms, but we always go for the darts so…read morecan't comment on the quality of the rooms. There are three reasons this place more than deserves the five stars. First, the drinks. They have a plethora of the actual cocktails you would see in japan. Suzume Kohaku AND Tomino Hozan? Oolong Highballs? Half bottles of Kubota? YES PLEASE. If you used to be a regular at any bar in Shinjuku's hidden but legendary Golden Gai district, this will feel like a taste of home. Also, there's a full bar menu with Karaage, Yam salad, and Mentaiko pasta? Are you kidding me? Second, the food. Not only do they have great bar food up with the best Japanese night life spots in LA, you can ALSO order in a bowl of ramen off the EXTRA FULL MENU from the ramen restaurant next door. AND, about the ramen. Every 2 years a friend and I travel all over Japan and rank the best ramen to compare with America. Josui (the ramen shop nextdoor to Astro) is definitely up there with Kyushu Jangara, Tanaka Shoten, Sumire, and dare I say Kozo Mata Omaeka. Especially their Miso ramen. The flavor is phenomenal, the oil level is on point, the noodles are perfectly cooked, the chashu is melt in your mouth, ANNDDD it comes HoT HOT HOT because the bar and the restaurant share the same kitchen. However, one should be careful with the spice as they do use habanero peppers for their spice. It's the only downside as I love spice but me and many others are not a fan of the habanero family/flavor. Ie, if you're going for Josui Ramen, you might as well goto Astro and get a better selection, but bring your own Rayu or Shichimi Togarashi. Third. The darts. Most people think of darts at bars as these beat up corkboard darts with bent tails. And for the most part, you are correct. But If you're familiar with the world of darts, you know about the Phoenix Machines. And they have the latest ones. These are THE proper tournament level dart boards connected to an entire worldwide online community. Everyone who is serious about darts has an account on these machines. Playing solo? Log in with your ID and get connected with a player at a pool hall in Tokyo. Looking for local players? link up with someone in LA Ktown. Heading to Korea? bring your account card with you and link up to a Phoenix machine at Dart Prince in Gangnam. Also don't be surprised if the groups in the lanes to the left and right of you at Astro brought their own set of professional darts. I do not want to post this because Astro has been a locals secret for a number of years, has a strong community of Tokyo transplants (expect to hear a LOT of Japanese) and I like having a machine available on our date nights. But I have NO idea why right now it's only 4 stars so gotta give them some love. Y'all missing out. Full transparency, if it starts to get too crowded there, I'm taking this review down. See you on the boards.

1 Star - Worst Experience I've Ever Had at a Bar…read more I've been to The Blind Donkey in downtown Long Beach before but what happened last night deserves to be shared. I came here with a friend last night and ordered a blonde beer that tasted completely off -- it genuinely tasted like blue cheese. My friend encouraged me to ask for a replacement since something was clearly wrong with it. When she brought it to the bar, the bartender told her he'd replace it and that it was on the house, but then made her pay for the second drink anyway. If I had known she'd still be charged, I would've just not asked for another drink. When I came up to the bar to clarify why she paid for something he said was comped, the bartender backtracked and said he "didn't mean" that. I asked if they could void the second charge, since this was supposed to be a simple replacement. He kept explaining that he is charging us for this second one because it was not a blonde, it was a white ale. I told him that's fine, but why did he say it was "on the house" and now charging us anyway? He ended up bringing over the manager. The manager was a short, Latino man with a hat on. He was incredibly rude from the moment he arrived explaining the beer was a blonde- which I know what I ordered, but tasted whack. He didn't look at us, didn't listen to anything we were saying, and without asking a single question he grabbed both drinks we paid for and dumped them down the drain. We were stunned -- we paid for both of them and now had nothing. When he came back, I calmly told him we paid for both drinks he just threw out. His response? "Don't expect to come here and get free drinks." Which is wild considering we never asked for anything free -- we were just trying to get the mistaken charge fixed. When I told him he needed to void the drink he dumped, he called security on us. We weren't loud, drunk, or confrontational. Security refused to give us the manager's name, and only one finally whispered "Ken," though at that point it felt like they were just saying anything to get us out the door. I've worked in customer-facing roles before. I understand dive bars aren't known for luxury service, but this wasn't about service -- it was about basic respect, integrity, and not charging customers for drinks you throw away yourself. I'm leaving this review as a Long Beach local, it's saddening to see how a popular bar like The Blind Donkey treats their customers. This was the worst experience I've ever had.

I've driven by this old school staple in Torrance 100s of times....and for the first time ever we…read morebooked to eat here for my friends birthday.... Known as a steakhouse the prime ribs looked really mouth watering...even for myself who doesn't eat meat....I had the Salmon Filet and it was actually cooked really well and I would definitely get it again.... Service was pretty good even though the place as busy they were able to help us out the majority of the time.... Everything came out good for the whole party and no complaints about the food at all... The restaurant itself is old and the inside shows it....but that is part of the classic ambiance at the restaurant.... It is difficult to maneuver through and they utilized the space inside very well...I thought it was a small restaurant looking a it from the outside but it actually can hold a good amount of people. Maybe get better bread knives is my only complaint....it was hard to cut the sourdough easily with the knives given.... Definitely recommend this place to anybody who likes steak/prime rib/even salmon.... By the way I passed it on the first drive by because the parking entrance is just before the restaurant and 1 way meaning if a car is coming out you can't fit another car to come in....but if you go around the residential area you can pull in from the side street before going back on Sepulveda...

2026 San Franciscan…read moreis still my go to spot for Prime Rib. It's not a lame roast beef that many restaurants play off as prime rib. This is basically a high quality oven roasted rib eye steak. If you crave Prime Rib, what makes this a good meal is it comes with bread, soup and a baked potato and the cut comes in 3 sizes to choose from. The service is friendly and fast and this is family styled, no dress code nor any frills of ambiance. It's like a bar lounge with karaoke in the front and formal (casual) dining in the back Parking is easy, but remember this... If driving down Sepulveda and the Sam Franciscan is going to be on your right side... then the parking lot you want to pull into is on your right side BEFORE the San Franciscan yellow sign. If you pass it and pull into the next lot, it locks you in and does not connect to the restaurant and you'll then need to turn around pull out then get back onto Sepulveda, turn right onto Crenshaw and then reach the San Franciscan parking lot from the back or if confused you get back onto Sepulveda from there and try to park again and not miss the correct parking position of their parking lot.
