Celebrated a bachelorette with my friends, service was great, most have a reservation for faster service. We did! Also room was clean, not so dark it was such a great time, we ordered food and drinks, it was good. Even got some dessert. We were about 9 to one room volume level was great as well staff was extremely attentive read more

K-BOX Karaoke - Melodies - Karaoke Near Me - San Francisco, California

Cool spot with options of room size and relative decent prices. The rooms were cute, and set up was nice. The options of international music was cool. Beer and alcohol was cheap and little sweet having ordering Is cool. The bad: the song system was incredibly difficult to navigate. Song choices were fairly limited in my opinion. Some artist that are wildly popular, you couldn't find the song on their system, but other artist that were a lot less popular, they'd have everything including covers of songs. I had a lot better luck finding songs I liked at other places for sure. read more

This was a fun spot to go after dinner. My friend wanted to go to karaoke and this was one of the spots that popped up. It was about $50 a hour and 85c per minute after. We also got 2 bottles of water for $1 each I believe. Not a bad pricing for some fun with friends! They had all the songs we could think of and it was a blast! read more

Dear gods, where to start? The interface is awful; finding a song or artist is a challenge and you cannot use the app that it says you can use--we were told directly the app does not work at all. The rooms are poorly insulated for sound--we heard a lot of noise from nearby rooms. But worst of all were the actual song displays. I am convinced they used YouTube or other internet music videos and used a closed captioning system. You could turn off the included vocals (all the songs had original vocals included) but this clearly used some form of software to strip the vocals off, which typically did not work well and often stripped portions of the instrumentals off as well. Almost all of the interface was in Chinese with poor translations offered at best. Finally, as a final insult, the microphones did not play at the same volume: one was incredibly sensitive and loud while the other needed to be shouted into to pick up voices at all. The food and drinks were acceptable which is the only reason this gets two stars instead of one star. I would never recommend this hole in the wall for Karaoke to anyone though. read more

Pros: -Usually able to get a karaoke room as a walk-in; we've had to wait a little while when it was busy, and on a weeknight we can usually get a room quickly. -Little Sweet is in the same space so you can order boba / tea that gets delivered to your room. (The quality of the tea is mediocre though) -easy parking in garage next door Cons: -Customer service isn't great. Sometimes there's no one at the front desk. -The song selection system has gotten more difficult to use than it was before, and needs to be updated. They advertise an app to use with it but the app didn't work either. I've had fun here in the past but during my most recent visit, the system was so frustrating to use and find songs that I probably won't be back until it's updated. read more

This place is so much fun! I came for HH with my friends on a Sunday and it was so affordable and great. The only thing I didn't love was their song menu it was a bit harder to navigate than most. Price wise, very good! Service limited but straight forward. Parking - hard to find but that's the whole area. You can also order drinks inside and they make it so it's the perfect add on while singing. They have various languages for song selection including English, Korean, Japanese and more. You can search by location and female or male artist, song titles, etc. Very spacious place and plenty of rooms. read more

This place has incredibly rude service. The tech does not work AT ALL and the staff laughed at us and locked the door when we asked for a refund. From the second we walked in they were disrespectful. I would NEVER recommend this place. My friend ordered food and they charged her and never brought her food out claiming the "kitchen was closed" even though she was fully charged and denied a refund. Don't come here unless you wanted to be treated like you're stupid. If I could give it negative stars I would. read more

So much fun! Took our kids there to celebrate my daughter's 14th birthday and it was a hit! These teens actually enjoyed! The place is nice and clean. They had great food (boba) that you can order and the service was really nice. Not bad for a karaoke please, the price is good! $50 for an hour for a small room size perfect for our group of 5. This place is open till 4am. They have different size rooms for all your group needs. You have room Service and they serve some alcohol. Boba place connected to the Karaoke place is called Little Sweet. read more

This is a great for hanging out with friends. The only downside is the karaoke machine, which is kind of tricky to use and makes searching for songs harder than it should be. Also, they don't give you a heads up when your time is up, so you have to keep track yourself or risk getting charged extra. Still, their yogurt soju and fries are great and it's a fun spot! read more

Guy at the front counter was so rude! They don't make the rules clear- I booked an 8pm appointment two months in advance of my birthday. I paid online and when we showed up at 8:30 they had given our room to another party. I received multiple reminder emails and not one mentioned that we had to be there by 8:15! I already paid and had a clear reservation. This policy is totally ridiculous, on top of that, I was treated so rudely that I'll never attempt going here again. Booooooooooooooo!!!!!! read more

This place is amazing! we celebrate my friend's BD and was very private in the room. they also have a lot of songs in different languages :) read more

Good job on customer service! I called when they opened to book a room for 8-10 people, the guy was so rude. He said there was a opening at 10pm earliest, I said ok I'd book. He puts me on hold for 15mins. Im like ok did he forget about me? Noone returned so I hung up. Called back right away. He answers....I told him I would like to book and that we just spoke. Gave me hela attitude and was like we're super busy right now. I get that you're busy...but the puts me on hold again. Returns and tells me to book online. Like why didnt you start off with that? I got online the time they had was at 10:30 or 11:30. At this point. Im good. I can take our business someplace else. His whole vibes and rudeness wasnt welcoming anyways. read more

This place was super fun!!! We came a bit late but they were very accommodating. The private karaoke rooms were very clean. They also had a good selection of karaoke music. Would definitely come back with my friends! read more

Easy to get in and we had fun, great experience. Only downside is you cant bring in your own drinks, and the pitchers they offer are warm as fuck. Luckily they didnt catch the bottle of tequila we smuggled in our pants. read more

Terrible customer service, disrespectful attitude. The bathroom did not even have hand soap & the toilet did not even flush properly. Karaoke experience was great but the customer service was terrible. If you purchase a drink from the fridge, make sure you check the expiration on it ! read more

This is my favorite karaoke place in San Francisco. I always stop by here whenever I'm in town. I like how they have Little Sweet right inside so I can get boba while singing my heart out. You can park in the nearby parking garage or on the street. The service was quick to answer, and the karaoke machine was easy to use. They also have tambourines and disco lights to set the mood. I've only been in the small and large rooms. There's plenty of space to spread out. Making reservations is easy through a phone booking. read more

K-BOX Karaoke - Rates~ - Karaoke Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm new to Karaoke bars but I had a great time here. It was pretty quick and simple to check in and go to your reserved room. The rooms are small but have comfy seating and good sound systems. There was a good selection of songs and I liked that you could order boba, soju, and waters to the room. Lots of friendly people around. It was pretty pricey though - would have liked some better decor or something for that cost. read more

Went here to celebrate a good friend's birthday. Our private booth was clean and comfortable. We had so much fun! There were plenty of songs to pick from and the boba we ordered was very good with quick service. We would happily go back. read more

K-BOX Karaoke - Private booth. - Karaoke Near Me - San Francisco, California

The karaoke machine was very confusing to handle. Most of the songs didn't have an actual instrumental to sing to and were taken straight from Youtube. The sound system and the microphones were good. The service was questionable as we were waiting for a bit in the front to check out. Not sure if it was worth considering the price per hour. read more

Last Saturday, they were nice enough to let us switch to the small room since only 5 people showed up, even though my friend reserved the medium room for 2pm. It's a fun place to go karaoke. They have a happy hour 20% off rate if you go before 8pm. Little Sweet is on premise to order boba drinks too. When you pick songs, make sure to select the one with MTV if you want the original music video to play it! read more

Kbox is the best, clean facility, systems work great, staff is super friendly and you can order boba from your room

My friends and I had a good time singing karaoke here. I reserved earlier in the week for 2 hours on Sunday at 3 pm. It's very easy to do so via their website, and you have to pay a deposit to secure the booking. I'm not sure of the exact hours, but they offer 20% off during off peak hours, so the small room was $40/hour instead of the usual $50. The day before, some more friends decided to come, so I called them to upgrade to a medium room. Normally it's $65/hour, but with the 20% off it's $52/hour which isn't bad at all once you split it between the group. On the day of, we parked in the Japantown garage, which was very convenient to K-Box. We had a bit of a hard time finding the place since we originally thought it was inside, but the entrance is on right on Geary next to the entrance/exit to the garage. Look for the Little Sweet sign. Our medium room was pretty good. There's a disco ball so you can turn that on for festive vibes. They use a Chinese system for song selection, and most of the English songs I looked for was available. Ordering is done via the screen in the corner, otherwise you can scan the barcode via the WeChat and search for songs that way as well. I used WeChat since it wasn't convenient for me to get up, and even though it didn't show the full queue of songs (almost half the songs were missing for some reason), it worked fine for inputting songs. We didn't take advantage of this since we were all stuffed from lunch, but you can scan the QR code and order boba and snacks from Little Sweet which is right next door. read more

3 stars for "ok". My first time at a karaoke room but still expected more for $100 for 2 hours. The people I came with were fun so the time was enjoyable. It could have been much more enjoyable with a more user friendly karaoke machine, a working mic and temperature controlled rooms. The wings and dumplings and beer were pretty good but pricey.. The karaoke machine makes or breaks it and it broke it here. Overall, I love the concept but they could do so much better. read more

Easy to mistake this place for just a boba shop. Turns out it's Little Sweet boba in the front and K Box karaoke in the back. It's all connected in this one hallway. A pretty convenient set up since you can order boba there that gets delivered to your room. Great service and clean interior. Inside is a bit small and the decor is simple, but the room is so dark it doesn't matter much. You can adjust the light settings to get the disco strobe colors on. A giant microphone also hangs from the ceiling. Karaoke machine was easy to use and had good song selections, including some recent releases. Had a great time here! The combo of boba and karaoke is awesome. Would recommend. read more

K-BOX Karaoke - Inside - Karaoke Near Me - San Francisco, California

My friend booked a room and paid a deposit for her birthday MONTHS ago. We showed up excited to celebrate & were rudely told they gave it away because they only hold it for 15 minutes. There is little to no communication about this policy. They sent a reminder before the day and did not mention this at all. Come on guys. Do better. It's not that hard to remind customers about this policy early and often. What a mess. read more

Rating: 3.5 stars We came by at midnight "Sunday morning" with a group of four. We were able to make a reservation online around 1 hour before our reservation time. In order to make the reservation online they take a $35 deposit (which they take off from your final check). When we arrived, the establishment was pretty chaotic. They only had one person at the front desk taking care of everyone so he was running around all night and unfortunately that meant the check in process was quite disorganized and also quite slow. However, the guy at the front was still very friendly and kept a smile on his face which was very admirable. We were told our room number a few minutes after our booked time and walked there ourselves. This was not too difficult since the store was quite small and was easily numbered. The same guy who was checking us in told us he would be by to teach us how to use the system. He did not come until around 20 min afterwards since he was so busy, by that time we had figured everything ourselves and did not need any explanations. Our system broke down after around 20 min of usage. The selection computer just stopped working and then the tv also stopped and the sound system started blasting random music. Since they were so busy it took them a while to get to us to help restart the system. Thankfully though, they took off 20 minutes from our final time cost. All in all, the system can be quite glitchy and the store itself seems pretty disorganized. However, private room karaoke is always a fun time with friends! read more

Good karaoke, opens at late times and staff are nice. The room are nice and well lit and the atmosphere is pretty lively

Pretty good overall but the machine is not that great... We had issues with the lyric synching.. Soju's are great! Decently priced overall, easy reservations online. read more

0 stars if I could. K-Box ruined my friend's birthday party -- and couldn't care less. She prepaid for a 4-hour private karaoke room for a birthday celebration. Let that sink in: prepaid. We arrived and were blindsided by a "15-minute tardiness policy" that was never communicated to her -- not in the booking confirmation, not in any follow-up, not anywhere. They had already given our room away. How does a tardiness policy even apply to a prepaid reservation? We paid for that room. It was ours. The logic is nonexistent. But the real cherry on top? The front desk guy working Saturday April 11 was jaw-droppingly rude about it. No apology, no attempt to make it right, just contempt for a group of people who had spent their money there in good faith and showed up to celebrate a birthday. They didn't just inconvenience us -- they killed the vibe for an entire birthday party. Happy birthday, here's a side of humiliation and zero accountability. San Francisco has no shortage of karaoke spots. Literally go anywhere else. K-Box will take your money, give your room away, and treat you like the inconvenience is your fault. Hard pass, forever. read more

We went there on a Thursday in summer and it was not crowded at all. It was nice and quiet. I like the Hello Kitty themed room. We had fun singing there. read more

Not sure why it took me this long to review this place, but I've been here on average twice per month just in 2023. I love sober private Karaoke, and this is definitely the best place I know in SF for it. Pros: Great Asian song selection, and even includes romaji for some popular Japanese songs if you can't read Japanese. (I've even seen pinying for Mandarin songs lol) WeChat users have access to an easy to use song search system Great vibe despite the smaller rooms You can order little sweet straight from the room AIR CONDITIONING Friendly staff!! Cons: Touch pad song selection is wonky and not intuitive Hard to know when new songs are added (I wish I could request adds :( ) Maximum 2 mics except for the standing mic, which is hard to use Some songs are Cloud only and you have to wait a bit for a download Too far away from my house read more

I've been here twice in the last year. First, love that they have Little Sweet Boba shop outside of the karaoke and can directly serve in the room, it's a great perk for boba lovers. However, it does make the place harder to find because I have multiple friends getting lost looking for this karaoke on the street because the store front look like a boba shop. Compared to Fillmore karaoke, which is another one of my favorite spots, this place is a bit more pricey, nevertheless I think it is worth it. This place has better device and sound quality, space is cleaner and more decorated, too. For me, K Box is perfect for parties, celebrations,, esp. with lots of people, whereas Fillmore Karaoke is more for a casual small get together or if you just wanna go practice singing, it is more affordable. One thing to notice is they both have happy hours before 9pm daily and price is much better with more rooms available if you go before 9pm. As far as song library goes, they have a very large and updated library, for both English, and Chinese karaoke songs. Spanish library is not bad. It's not as great but still has more updated songs sometimes. The system is very easy to work with. And you can adjust keys for each song which is a very important perk for me. The only thing is you cannot adjust the volume of your microphone too much so for very quiet singers it could be a problem. Overall I would give this place a solid 8.5/10 compared to what's available in the general San Francisco/East Bay Area! read more

Love this place! I went here for a friend's birthday and it was so much fun! We reserved a room in advance for 2 hours since we had about 10 people, and it was a blast! The screen to control everything is easy enough to get the hang of, and they have a large and diverse catalog of songs to choose from. You can also control the music through WeChat if you have that. With the lights you can toggle on or off, the cushioned seats all along the wall, and the decent soundproofing of the doors, it's easy to have a good time with friends. Careful of time though, as they're pretty strict about when your slot ends and will pop in to tell you when your last song is. You can also order boba tea from Little Sweet which is cool. Highly recommend! read more

K-BOX Karaoke - One of the karaoke rooms - Karaoke Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came on a weekday at around 10pm and we were able to get a room pretty quickly for a group of 5. You can make a reservation in advance, and there is street parking around Japantown. This location is at Japantown on Geary street behind the main mall and connected to the Little Sweet store, so you can actually get boba while you're singing karaoke here! Our room was clean and spacious enough for our group, and the system was pretty easy to navigate. They also serve drinks including soju cocktails along with the Little Sweet boba. The price came out to about $36/hour and $22/soju cocktail. Overall, a fun place for karaoke after eating a meal at Japantown! read more

Rating a 3/5 because: - EXTREMELY limited song selection - limited drink choice (only soju, wine, and beer) - the large room is not very large in my opinion The way the room is set up has the words at the front, so when performing the singers face away from the rest of the group. This personally doesn't make sense for the type of karaoke that I like to do (more of a performance). I had a good time for my birthday but I don't think I'll return. The biggest disappointment was the song selection. In Dec 2024 they were missing these iconic songs: - pink pony club by chappel roan - Juno by Sabrina carpenter - I can do it with a broken heart by Taylor Swift read more

I haven't heard of K-box until very recently but I definitely recommend this place!! The reservation process was so easy (just call in advance - no deposit required) and affordable! They have large (14-15 people), medium (8-10 people), and small rooms available for reservation by hour. I booked one large and two medium rooms for my party of 25. Although my whole party did not arrive at the same time, I was able to start my time for each room separately which I thought was really nice of them! Each room was very clean, comfortable, and modernized (there were so many sound settings available). They also had a hanging mic in each room which we thought was pretty unique too. Although you cannot bring in outside food and drinks, they do have snacks and boba/coffee on site for purchase! read more

K-BOX Karaoke - HOLIDAY HOURS 2023 - Karaoke Near Me - San Francisco, California

I will not go to any other karaoke place again. WHERE HAVE I BEEN? Gone are the days where I will flip through an alphabetized (by song) song book, trying to find what song to sing. At K-Box, we look up artists on the screen and it lists ALL their songs. Gone are the days where I will sing to generic music videos with random girls walking around a pond. K-Box has the *actual* music videos. Gone are the days where you'll have to sneak in drinks cuz K-Box HAS drinks! Soju, flavor soju, wine. If you need anything else, that's on you. If you're hungry, they have egg puffs, or egg waffles right at the front. Drink it down with some milk tea. Everyone always has a great time here. read more
