I've been here twice for birthdays, my cousin's and my own. I loved both of my experiences here. This spot is lowkey, and honestly, I almost want to gatekeep it. The space is super clean and feels new, and the staff are incredibly friendly. My cousin accidentally booked the wrong date, but the owner was so accommodating and still managed to fit us in right away! I really appreciated that level of service. They let you bring your own food and drinks and even provide ice and cups, which really sets them apart from other places. The karaoke system is great too, everything runs off YouTube, so the song selection is endless. Highly recommend this spot, and I'll definitely be back!

tldr: great karaoke spot and you can bring in your own food/drinks! You should definitely make a reservation here before coming in, especially on a Friday night. It's easy to call the place a few hours in advance to make the reservation, and the staff are very friendly. There's plenty of parking outside, and it's right next to Little Saigon! It's $78/hour for the mid-sized room (5-8 people), plus a 17% service charge. In my experience, that's a pretty standard rate in the South Bay. The great thing about Genting Karaoke, though, is that they allow you to bring in your own food and drinks! I don't know of any other karaoke spot nearby that allows this at no extra cost. Standard selection of songs on YouTube, plus colorful lights to make for a fun space for you and your friends to sing your hearts out.

Nice place sing your heart out, clean and staffs are friendly. We were there on Saturday afternoon 3pm ish, it's so quiet there. Wonder if most of the people sing there at night? 3 hours for ~ $180, kind of expensive.

2 stages in VIP ROOM 2

Location: A gem in east side San Jose! Story Road can get a little busy but as Genting is right across the street from Little Saigon, there are SO many food places to choose from after a night of singing karaoke! Service: The staff were SUPER nice and fun! Considering they deal with large groups... or large drunk groups!... they are very friendly and accomodating! Ambiance: Party Vibess are the best vibes! The lights, stages and multiple microphones in the rooms brought out our performer side lol! So much fun! Songs are found through iPad and Youtube! Easy and access to everything! I will say, a lot of karaoke places are hot and grimey but Genting was really clean and bright in the hallways. Food: BRING YOUR OWN FOOD AND DRINKS! A WIN FOR EVERYONE!! There are no limitations on what you can bring. If you have a cake to celebrate later they will kindly store it in their fridge! I think I've found my favorite karaoke place! I came as a guest so I was not aware of pricing, but again BYOD is always a win so just have your group split the costs!

Small room (2-5 people)

Don't be fooled by the small looking exterior. They have a large variety of rooms inside of all different sizes that are all clean and well decorated. For a small room, it is $58/hour with a mandatory 16% service fee as well as tax. After everything calculated, it actually comes out to be $77/hour. They have a karaoke system inside the rooms but for some reason, they hand you an iPad instead to choose the songs. The pros of doing so is that YouTube has all your favorite songs and even covers that you want to sing along to. The cons is that you're just singing along to a YouTube video. You can't adjust the key of the song or change back and forth between with or without accompaniment for fellow karaoke geeks out there. Additionally, if you have clumsier fingers, you can accidentally click on the YouTube video interrupting the song currently playing instead of queuing the video. The sound system itself has a nice echo to it so you can hear your own voice. I saw that most rooms have a mini stage too but ours didn't.

VIP room #1 for 15-25 people
Kristine F.

It's been a hot minute since I sang karaoke. What better time than a friend's birthday? Round up your friendsters or even the fam for a good old fashioned sing off. If you've got karaoke at home, all the more power to you! We went all out and booked online for a VIP room big enough for 15-25 people even though we only had 14. VIP room requires a $300 deposit at booking which can be paid via Zelle, Venmo, or credit card over the phone. I coordinated with Yuna who was very helpful and informative. It's spacious and clean with lots of room to dance. LOVED the elevated musician spot up front complete with the third mic and high top chair. Claimed it as my corner. The mini stage in front of the tv screen moves up and down when you jump on it. Gotta keep the energy up especially with a few shy ones in the group. Pull them up to dance and get the party started! Flashing lights and surround sound had us feeling club vibes. Check in was fast and easy. They allow outside food & drinks so we got Lucky Tea next door. Staff was nice and fixed a minor issue we had a few minutes in. Choose songs on the tablet and have fun. We went a few min past the original two hours but they only charged us for those extra minutes rather than a whole hour. Totally appreciated. There's already tax and a 20% service charge included in the bill. Visit Genting Karaoke for a good time tonight! Open daily from 2pm-2am.

My go to Karaoke spot in San Jose! I have been to this place with my friends many times. Recently, I went with a group of 20 and they had no problem getting a room open for us! The rooms are very spacious, clean, and the sound system is great. I always call ahead of time to make sure they have rooms available because it can get busy on certain nights. The front desk is always very very nice and accommodating and I have always had amazing interactions with them. They also have a fridge that has many options for soft drinks at the front. It's also great how they allow you to bring your own drinks! I will always love this place and I can't wait to come back!

Amazed at how little it looked outside, but they have so many rooms! They have room sizes that vary for big parties or small parties. You can adjust a lot of their light settings inside, which I think is great if you're really partying it up or just want it to be mellow. They use a small tablet where you sing karaoke songs from youtube

Ask the Community - Genting Karaoke

Does the KTV give you a score/rating after you sing a song?

It didn't give scores when I went last month but you can ask the employees if it's an option.

What selections of songs do you have? Is there viet songs or korean?

yes

How much does it cost?

Depends on what kind of room u want

And honestly, it easily could've stayed around the 4 stars but the owner or manager of this place forced my husband to leave a tip as if it was a requirement, even if she didn't really do much for us other than bring out 1 food item and 1 drink that I ordered, which seems like she's making us do that for the sake of her delivering such items to our room. If that's the case, then at least give us better service and don't be so forceful or pressure us to tip -- tipping is supposed to be a voluntary thing and not something that's demanded firsthand while my husband was still trying to pay for our 1hr time there. He also had leftover cash but was $5 short and so he wanted to put the last $5 on his card, but she wouldn't let him because she said it's too difficult to deal with doing both cash and card. The reason for the cash payment (despite being $5 short) was because they had a flyer in the karaoke room that said there's a discount for cash payments and I guess he couldn't get it since it was an annoying process to put the last $5 on his card. It's kind of a funny situation just sharing this part, huh? Anyway, after he was finishing up paying with his card instead, the lady had the audacity to say that he must tip her. It wasn't asked, it wasn't done in a way where it's appreciated but rather in a way where it's demanding or forceful. If she didn't do that, it would've been fine but because she did that, despite us liking the karaoke experience, we will not come to this place anymore. I know there are a lot of good comments about this place and frankly, I was one of those people initially, but hey, things changed and again -- it's so unfortunate that this owner or manager had to make things the way she did during our most recent visit for us to not want to come here anymore. Well, back to Gamba then. Or until I can find a better spot that doesn't passively treat us this way.

If you made a reservation for like 7 p.m. and you check in at 7:10, they will start the clock at 7:10 (this is good -- I've been to places that would start the clock at 7). Other than that, I was underwhelmed by the karaoke system. First, the system tablet is mounted on a wall in a corner of the room, so you have to walk over to search. A tablet that can be handed around would offer a better experience. Their karaoke system is confusing. I tried searching "Ariana" (Ariana Grande) and nothing turned up, but I was able to find her eventually under one of the lists of artists (and this issue repeated for multiple artists). We all struggled to find songs. If you want to sing Japanese songs, you need to search it in Japanese as the system is case-specific and will not turn up searches using English romanization. This would have been fine for us in theory since almost everyone in our group knew Japanese, but the same aforementioned issues with searching were still present regardless of language. Someone in our group had experienced this system before and helped us navigate it, but I don't think a good karaoke system should be so user-unfriendly. There's a QR code you can scan to browse the system on your phone, but there's a mismatch between songs available through the QR code link and what the system actually has, so some songs that we added through the link actually did not exist in the system. It's unfortunately that the song search was so bad, because the system did have a large Japanese song selection, including recent hits. They have YouTube, but unlike other karaoke places with YouTube there's no way to queue songs, so you have to wait until a song is done to search and play a new song. Because of lack of ability to queue, we resigned ourselves to using the funky system since that could at least accommodate queuing. We were charged a 15% service fee in addition to the room fee and tax. I have seen past reviews report different percentage rates for the service fee, so I wasn't sure what to expect. They write down the service fee percentage on a slip of paper when checking you in, so it seems the percentage might not be standardized. Right before filling out the slip, the person at the front asked if we would be consuming food in the room, and we said no, but we did have bags of takeout leftovers that we weren't going to eat while in the room. I think you can have a good experience here if you are OK with spending a lot of time dealing with the system.

The karaoke system they had is mostly for Mandarin songs. We were told if we want to sing English songs to use YouTube. We were fine with that. Although it would have been nice to have English songs from an actual karaoke system than YouTube as you can do YouTube anywhere, just need a speaker system. But my friend and I still had fun. We were able to sing some BTS songs and 90s music! Overall, we had a blast singing for an hour. We didn't get a chance to try any drinks or foods. Next time! I also want to try some Mandarin songs next time. My friend didn't know Mandarin, so I didn't want to do Mandarin songs since she didn't understand, only sang English songs with her. Overall, I had a fun night! There is a 18% cleaning fee that is mandatory. No happy hour. The room is very clean. No disco ball.
