IT IS DIRTY!!!! WOW and im not picky, like at all. Plus no YouTube music and an extremely limited song selection and they charge an automatic 18% service fee up front. Im not even going to tell you how "Backrooms" the underground parking lot is and i swear you need to bring a weapon just to get to the front entrance. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. I go to TJ often and this plaza scared me more haha!!! read more

This is my second time here. Each time they ran out of small rooms, so I was forced to pay more for bigger rooms. Even on the weekend, they have happy hour deals. I like that they have all the info available on their website. The song selection is pretty good. You can find English songs as well as Korean, Chinese, and Japanese songs. (I didn't check for songs in other languages.) They give you mic covers. I wish they had hand sanitizers inside the rooms. One thing that was weird was their food. We got Taiwanese sausage, but it came with ketchup (and not garlic). The fried mantou buns also came with MAYONAISE !?!! T.T (lowkey angry at this, like how dare you). It's supposed to go with condensed milk. It's located on the same floor as the parking lot. Just walk behind the stairs. read more

Came here last month and had a good time! Parking: Plenty available! Experience: Easy to navigate through console and find songs (English, Chinese, Japanese, etc. available), room lighting was appropriately lit with neon lights to set the atmosphere, hand sanitizer and mic covers provided. Unfortunately, 1 of our 2 mics didn't quite work as well as the other so that was a bit frustrating but overall still had fun! Can't comment on price (friend treated us) or food / drinks, but solid spot for karaoke! read more

K Republic Karaoke - Karaoke Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Happy hour is totally worth coming, and the food selection was plenty. The drinks were pretty good too. The mics weren't really working that well, but the staff in the front were able to assist with tech issues. The song choices were good and the videos were the same as the music videos that were played on TV. The location of this place looks shady, sus, and deserted. It's a fun place. read more

What's up beautiful and sexy people? Where should I begin? Went here yesterday 7-13-24 with a group of meetup people. 1. As I recalled there were 8 people or homies and friends that showed up including yours truely and they were Dave, Mike, Brent, Nick, Miguel, Thomas and Bryan. Good times and it was excellent and wonderful to have people or homies and friends supporting me. Good times and would love to do this again soon. 2. Since there were 8 people. We got to the VIP Room. I love the VIP room. Hopefully I will get the VIP room again when I am back here next time for my birthday 10-12-24. Going to turn 42 and I know the staff here will take care of my party and I. Going to make it the best birthday ever!!! Wanted to give a shout out to Peter (the business owner of K Republic KTV) and Dai as well as Alex for takeing care of my party and I during my most recent visit. Thank you guys. Hope to see all of you again real soon. 3. Before I get ahead of myself. I been to K Republic KTV five times and never a dull moment. The staff do their best to take care of the customers!!! 4. 4 Lastly for now. Looking forward to my birthday on the 12th of October and hanging out with my Meetup Friends or homies. Looking forward to it. I can't wait. I am jacked!!! But hopefully we will be back before the 12th of October. Best, David PS I have been to other karaoke places in the SGV Valley. So K Republic KTV gets my award as the best karaoke place. So look for me and my Los Angeles Clippers or Lakers gear and just maybe I will sing to you or dance as well. Let's do this dance. Girls, Boys, Ladies and Gentlemen. Also wanted to add that it's around $32.06 to sing during happy hour. Which I think it's still a pretty good deal. read more

Fun karaoke spot with pretty solid food and drinks and even better deal if you come during their happy hour ($25/person for all you can sing from 2-8pm plus discount on drinks) on the weekend ! Service is pretty quick overall (maybe a little longer wait for hot foods and the fruit platter) with the call button in the room. There is a wide selection of songs and good vibes with the lights and even little stage with its own mic. read more

The reason for my rating is that, I really don't think it is worth the rate that they charge, especially with the lack of accommodations. I'm not asking for freebies or snacks even, but at least give us water??? Food - #/5 - N/A we did not order any food or drinks from the establishment so I will not comment on the quality. I will be able to say that they do provide these things but it is at a bit of a marked up price for what it is. ($4 for a bottle of water??) They didn't even provide us with water for the room. They have a No Outside Food or Beverage policy which is completely understandable. But not even providing water for your parties? Price - $$$- This place goes at an hourly rate and it depends on the number of people in your party that they place you in a small, medium or large room. Each room size has its own rate. Please call ahead to ensure you know what you know the pricing. I do think that it is on the more expensive side for Karaoke, especially when there were no accommodations. We booked a reservation for 8:30pm and we had to time ourselves. Honestly for these rates... you can get better rooms, accommodations and service in Koreatown for the same thing. We had a large room (9-11 people) for our party of 9 and it was roughly $78/hr. They calculate it down to the minute. Seeing as there wasn't another reservation after us that needed this room, they would have let us just keep going until we left and charged us however long we stayed. We paid after we left instead of prepay. Good thing we paced ourselves because that would have been really expensive. Service - 1/5 - There is a 18% service fee that is already included in our check when they don't do anything for us. Like I said, not even water was provided for our party of 9 people. They are pretty strict with their policy of no outside drink and food but they will hold your food for you at the front desk if you were coming from another restaurant with leftovers. I understand including gratitude because we are a larger party but it's actually just a mandatory 18% regardless of party size. Ambiance - 3/5 - The atmosphere is pretty typical and average of a Karaoke place. It was pretty clean and decent amount of space. Location - 2.5/5 - The plaza it is located in is a bit of a maze so it may be confusing but there is a good amount of parking at least? There's also tasty restaurants and boba shops nearby so you can get your fix of food and such close by. ____________________ **Note: Location rating does not affect yelp review, this is just for informative purposes of other patrons only. read more

K Republic Karaoke - Karaoke Near Me - Monterey Park, California

It was a cool time. I get the feeling they will always tell you there are no small rooms available but if you just want to go have a fun time doing karaoke and are willing to spend some money the place is great. Large rooms are nice, prompt service, and good song selection. read more

A small room is $38 per hour. The workers here are miserable and don't give a fuck. Security was super nice. They charge 18% gratuity...they told us about up front...but that's ridiculous because they are literally on their ass/phone and don't provide any customer service whatsoever. Tbh...I haven't been to karaoke in a while...but their system/machine was a joke. It was as if I was playing a song via youtube. Song choices sucked too. I did appreciate the disposable mic covers though... read more

First, they add an AUTOMATIC 18% gratuity onto your bill. Nowhere is this mentioned anywhere in the establishment via signage, nor does any employee mention this when you ask for a room. 18% for what? To open the room and walk us in? This isn't bottle service in a club or a scenario where you are being "waited on." Oh but it gets better. THEN, they have the AUDACITY to add *another* tip line when you get your bill. Luckily we noticed, but how many have not? So let me get this straight, you expect something like a 36-40% TIP? Yeah OK. You charge all this, and yet the men's bathroom had ZERO soap. So patrons are using the restroom, not having soap to wash their hands and then touching microphones that people put close to their mouths. Yeeeaaahhhhhhhhh.... read more

If you can book room 4, take it! They have a stage and stand mic to sing your soul out. Great selection of music and nice finger food to keep you going. Don't forget to order soju! read more

YES! You can sing your heart out and not have to worry about your neighbors calling the cops on you for sounding like a torture room! This place definitely felt like a hidden gem to hang out with your friends. It's on the bottom floor of an otherwise unassuming plaza. (Not ground level). We reserved the large room that has a little stage to fulfill your pop star dreams! The room says 10, but we were a party of 6 and felt like it was the PERFECT size. We arrived and set up some decorations for our friend's birthday! They let us put decorations on the door to add a more "exclusive" feel which made our birthday girl feel special. And balloons. We had balloons everywhere! I see some people mention waiting a long time for food, but forget that when they go to restaurants there's also a wait time. It's okay, it's normal, and the workers there were really approachable if you needed anything else. Photo menu's on Yelp are DEFINITELY outdated. So scan the QR code on the table to see their updated menu! We ordered fries, popcorn chicken(my fav), fried fish tofu, fried shrimp, calamari, takoyaki, fruit plate, and pork leak dumplings! Most are fried food but it's soooo gooood to be bad sometimes haha. Karaoke here was so fun, the time passed by so quickly. The room was updated with two screens on opposite sides and a touch screen to find songs. No more of those giant books that everyone's touched and been all up on it. Overall, this was a really great visit. This was on a Friday night, we arrived at 6 and it seemed not too busy. It seems people like to just show up because as we were leaving a party of 2 was trying to get a room. Late nights are definitely a hit. 08/19/2022 Friday 6-9pm read more

Pros: clean, wide music selection Cons: 18% automatic gratuity when there's literally no services or goods provided. Pricing is on the higher side and not worth the money. Sound systems are mediocre at best read more

I've been and seen a lot of karaoke bars. This one stands out among all that i have experienced. There have different sized rooms and i think their biggest one from what I've seen can accommodate up to 20 people comfortably. Without leaving, you can order food and drinks by just pressing the service button along the walls- someone will come to take your orders. They have a huge selection that includes the latest releases in various languages, and they have a live concert version of the music, too. Parking was rather easy for me. There is ground level parking and street parking all around the building. There is also parking underground. You do not need to pay for parking. They are also other surrounding businesses that you might want to order from or a place to hangout to have breaks. They are open late as well. The restroom is clean, well maintained and easily accessible. The staff are all very friendly. I do plan to come back again. read more

I loved the karaoke room here! Ours had one of those vintage microphone stands and it definitely was a great addition when we got a few drinks in. The system was a little difficult to use compared to other places, but it did have most of the songs we were looking for. The service is friendly but the snack was total trash. The calamari, fries, and dumplings weren't good at all, but the purpose is karaoke. There are cameras inside the room which I get, but is a little discomforting. I would come back here though! read more

K Republic Karaoke - Karaoke Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Being this is my first private room experience, I would say i am happy with the experience and would return again w friends. The bigger rooms have a separate stage and has an extra monitor. The room we booked was clean and roomy for 4. The english playlist is extensive. We were able to locate 90% of the songs there with original music videos. The youtube option filled in the rest. The sound quality is decent and the multi-language song navigation system (is it what u call it?) is easy to operate. If you dont sing, you will hear sounds from the other rooms; however this wont be an issue once the music starts in your room. The service was prompt (there is an obligory 18% service charge on the room rental). It would have been kind if they offered to show us how to navigate the system when we arrived. The place is hidden away on the first floor of the building. The plaza is well lit, but since most of the businesses there are closed for good, watch your surrouding when you leave the area at night, especially if you parked on the upper levels. read more

Horrible service! The lady at the front was super rude and yelling at my friends and I. She wanted to charge 2 of us $25 PER person for sitting in the room for 35 minutes.. not even a full hour. Didn't even explain the happy hour pricing to us beforehand and zero communication, no prices on display either. Don't come here unless you want to get yelled at and blindsided by your bill by the miserable staff member who clearly hates her job. Very scummy place in a sketchy deserted run down shopping center. read more

LOVED this place! It's better than any ktown karaoke spot I have been to. Most ktown locations always try to stick you in the biggest room possible to suck more money out of you. This place is fair in price and they have every music video to match the songs you sing! WILD! read more

$25 happy hour with no beverage included, NOT even a cup of water when you ask for it... have to buy bottle water for $4 (not counting the up charge of 18% service fee plus tax on this bottle of water)... We're told we can only use the room till 6:30 when happy hour is till 8 cuz of another reservation coming in at 6:30... Our mic has problem but pressing service request bell did NOTHING, we had to go outside on our own to get that fixed with absolutely NO service provided except asking us to pay and budding us out of the room around 6:30, the server NEVER showed up in our room at all when we pressed the service bell, and we HAD to pay mandatory 18% service fee for NO service?!? What's worse, the room we're budded out of earlier than happy hour's time ends at 6:30 cuz of an up coming reservation, the server didn't even start cleaning the room nor is there ANYONE in the lobby or outside of the store waiting! Such a scam! read more

I have a medical condition that required constant access to hot water in an insulated mug. I understand the No outside food and beverage policy and its intent, and tried to explain the special circumstance with the manager. I'm okay buying hot water, I just need my insulated mug. The manager didn't have patience to even talk about it, dragged me out to the door and pointed to a sign that says "the business reserves the right to refuse service to anyone". It's sad that there's no room to discuss basic human needs. I wouldn't support this type of business where humanity isn't valued as much as rigid rules. read more

Lots of song selections, great sound system, great room set up and size for 6 people, and impressively clean. The room had a stage with a mic that looked fun to use. Great happy hour price with gratuity despite any service. It was our 1st time at this karaoke place and we had to figure out how everything worked, but it was user friendly and we are smart people. It was a fun time. I like the location even though the rest of the plaza looks empty. Better than driving to ktown. If you park underground, it's easy to find since it's right at the garage entrance to the plaza. This place has speakers outside of the entrance with cool music and colorful lights. Walking in smells a little smoky but the karaoke rooms smelled clearer with a little hints. Seems like all the songs were available including chinese and korean songs and we like turning on the sing along feature. read more

This place is great! Just had my birthday here and had a great time! Literally all my friends commented on how much nicer this place was then the other karaoke spots we've been too. First off, the rooms are so nice! Big, clean, super comfortable. The sound system is excellent. We booked the VIP room for 16 people (could definitely fit more comfortably though). It has a huge projector screen on the wall so you can give a truly great performance. It basically puts you in a music video. They had every song we wanted to sing including Broadway songs! If you value customer service, the manager was awesome. He called me a few days before to confirm my reservation. He was seriously such a nice person. We were going to bring a birthday cake, but when he heard we didn't have one he brought me a delicious tiramisu pudding & champagne! Honestly, it was a great time! I highly recommend this place if you're looking for an upscale karaoke experience, with a great staff, and awesome sound quality! Thank you K Republic for making my birthday so so special! read more

Recently came here for karaoke night with some friends for a birthday. This room is located in the same plaza where Daikokuya is at. We opted for the large room. The room itself was nice. It had a little stage with a retro microphone. The selection for karaoke was pretty mild though. There a handful of songs that weren't on there, and a huge delay in the system. The volume was locked, so we had to call the server a number of times to fix the volume. They also had a small selection of food. The yakitori items were not readily available, so really the only item they had was french fries. I love that there are tons of karaoke rooms now available and closer to SGV without needing to go to Ktown though. read more

Booked a room for my daughter's birthday and they had a great time. The staff was great at explaining their pricing and answering any questions I had before making the reservation. Once we arrived the room was clean and ready for us. Staff was very professional. Big plus - staff spoke English and they machine was in English. Parking in the garage made it easy as well. A bit pricy after they added the service charge and tax, but overall a great experience. read more

K Republic Karaoke - Medium Size Room - Karaoke Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I would actually rate this place 2 stars, but giving it 3 because of the song selections and videos. Customer service is almost non-existent except when you have to pay. The front desk staff barely acknowledge guests because they are too busy on their phones. The prices are pretty high compared to other karaoke places. The room we were assigned to had a defective tv so all the videos had a pinkish tint. Good thing it's all about the company when you karaoke. read more

K Republic Karaoke - Alcohol menu - Karaoke Near Me - Monterey Park, California

K Republic Karaoke in Monterey Park has quickly become my go-to karaoke facility, and let me tell you, it's a hidden gem! From the ample and convenient parking to the modern and spacious rooms, this place has everything you need for an incredible karaoke experience. One of the first things that impressed me about K Republic Karaoke was the ease of parking. Unlike some other places I've been to, finding a parking spot here is a breeze. It's such a relief to not have to worry about parking woes before an evening of singing your heart out. One of the standout features of this karaoke facility is the fact that it's not overcrowded. You can truly enjoy your time without feeling cramped or rushed. Whether you prefer a small, medium, or large room, K Republic Karaoke has it all. I've had the pleasure of singing in all three room sizes, and each one was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with top-of-the-line equipment. Speaking of the large room, it was an absolute blast! With 11 people in our group, we were thrilled to discover that we had three microphones at our disposal. But the excitement didn't stop there. The presence of a mini stage with a standing microphone added a touch of professionalism to our karaoke session. It felt like we were performing on a real stage, and we loved every minute of it. Additionally, the availability of two separate controls allowed us to effortlessly skip songs or adjust the background singing levels to our liking. One of the standout features at K Republic Karaoke is their innovative iPad system for song selection. The interface is user-friendly, and they have an impressive collection of new songs and actual music videos. It elevates the karaoke experience to a whole new level. I was delighted to see that they regularly update their song library, ensuring that you'll always find something new and exciting to sing. What's even more enticing is their weekend happy hour offer. For just $20 per person, you can sing your heart out from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., and they even offer a 20% discount on drinks during that time. It's an incredible value for the amount of fun and entertainment you'll have. Additionally, the location of K Republic Karaoke is excellent, as it allows you to easily grab food before or after your karaoke session. It's the perfect way to make a complete evening out of it. With ample parking, spacious and well-equipped rooms, a fantastic song selection, and great deals during happy hour, it's hard to beat. Whether you're planning a night out with friends or looking for a fun activity with family, K Republic Karaoke is the place to be. Prepare to unleash your inner rock star and create memories that will last a lifetime. You can call in advance to reserve too! They were super helpful on the phone. read more

Not bad. Charge gratuity upfront, and still asked for tip. Volume control is nice. The ipad is kinda confusing to use, but you're able to use your phone to choose songs read more

Went here for the first time and enjoyed my experience. The food tasted okay but it was expensive and small portions. The selection of songs was great as well. Very diverse mix of songs. The one thing to beware of is how long you are reserving your room. It is technically unlimited and they don't charge you ahead of time. My gf and I figured we only stayed 1 hour but ended up charging us for 2 hours. I wasn't timing myself, and there isn't a timer in the room to dispute this so I ended up paying for 2 hours. The total was about $125 including tip, popcorn chicken, French fries, and 2 bud lights. The front desk person had the audacity to ask for a tip and when I asked about the included 18% gratuity, he said sometimes customers tip twice. Seems like a scam to get more money. It was a fun experience but their billing model seems a bit predatory. read more

They take reservations and I've never been denied a timeslot I want. The weekend daytime happy hour is from open to 8pm. There's an 18% gratuity on top of the hourly fee but it's among the cheaper options among karaokes, especially for the weekend. Drinks are pretty expensive but there's also 20% off all drinks and food during happy hour. There's always plenty of parking and there's wifi as well. The song selection is pretty incredible, especially if you like non-English music. read more

K Republic Karaoke - a television in a bar - Karaoke Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I'm not too much of a Kareoke guy, unless if there are drinks involved and if everybody else participates. Haha. I might be a dork, but I won't be a drunk "wedding" singer. Ok, fine... I will be one if everybody else is one. LOL. But I'm usually a good sport. This place is quite nice! Very updated Kareoke machine in the rooms, good energy bringing flashing lights for the music, but one thing I forgot to check... The Disco Ball! I'm actually not sure. Thanks to all the Salud, Gunbae, cheers, bottoms up, and whatever you want to call it because it was a friends and some co-workers get together drinking night. Our tab came out to be about a thousand dollars... Yikes! We had plenty of alcohol... Chinese beer, Soju, generic whiskey (yuck), water, chasers, etc., and of course being in the room for about five hours. But no food! Everyone sang their hearts out. Didn't matter which songs, but all of us tried. This is what being a good sport is all about. Now going back to the business. I have mixed feelings about this place. The Chinese beer was all we had. I wasn't sure why... Maybe this was all they served? The bottle whiskey was horrible. No choices to choose from. Oh well. The bottled Soju we had was fine. And overall, probably fifteen of us crammed into a pretty decent size room. Their service was okay. The waiter/waitress came in every so often to throw out trash. Overall, we had fun only because we were amongst good company during the time, and didn't care much about anything else. If it wasn't for us being there that night, it would have been an off, slow night for the KTV place I only think the KTV was barely half filled, and we were probably the loudest and funniest. Why? Because the hallway was so quiet. One thing I think the place needs to improve on is their workers. To be honest, I think the security guard was the most friendly. No acknowledgement or greetings from the front main lobby as a few of us walked inside. Kinda sad. No personality from anyone working other than the security guard, the employees barely smiled. Please don't hate your job! It's supposed to be a fun place to work. Anyhow, difficult parking situation, hard to access businesses from the street, dark isolated-like plaza other than the ramen place that is busy, having little or no personality working at the KTV is not helping. This KTV is nice and has a lot of potential. Maybe the employees needs to be trained better. Good luck! Three stars and I'm being nice. There's no comparison to the Koreatown KTVs. read more

I will start by saying this is my first karaoke experience in SGV and in general, my sample size for karaoke places is super limited but this place was awesome. 10 of us came on a Sat night (made reservations) and our experience was great. The room they gave us holds up to 13 so we were pretty comfortable. Everything felt clean and the general decor was as expected, in a positive way. The machine to select songs was easy to use, even for non chinese readers. All my friends aregree, we'd come back. The one negative is that alcohol is OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive. 1 bottle of soju averages $18, which feels SO pricey when 99 rach is across the street and you can get 2 for $5. I can understand $10-12 range but $18 is overkill, especially given it's location. read more

It seems newly open, we 4 girls came at 10pm on a Tuesday night. The plaza is so quiet as if it's been abandoned, so it felt almost creepy to walk into the quiet plaza at night, not sure if there's any existing shops there because GPA has a little hard time finding us the exact plaza. PRO: Great sound quality and lightings in the room. The songs choices in English was amazing, we were able to find 95% of the songs we looked for. CON: The price is at the high range for a small room for 4 people. It was $38 hourly, but it adds 15% service fee every hour. It ended up to $108 after we stayed more than 2 hours. I might come back if I don't find other better value with the same sound quality. read more

Pros and cons! Pros: - The best song selection I've seen in a long time - Pretty good service - Easy parking - Good prices Cons: - They only have original soju :'( so no grape or yogurt read more

My group and I spontaneously decided to do a birthday karaoke when the next door Escape Room was full. They did not disappoint! Best karaoke spot I've ever been to. I'm used to Koreatown's manual controller song # punching system, so coming here to their giant touch screen was a huge upgrade. I was very impressed by the song selection as well. Plenty of songs with some of the most obscure songs you wouldn't find anywhere else. One of the cool features I noticed was the ability to switch from the original track with artist vocals to just the instruments so seamlessly. I also enjoyed the additional mic with stand on the stage. Manual AC controls was nice and the mic and music quality was just on point. They also serve alcohol here! Would come again! read more

K Republic Karaoke - Huge Tv and stage for the performer in you. - Karaoke Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Called ahead of time for a vip lounge and they okayed 30+ people just to cut us off at 20 people the day of when I explicitly asked if 30+ people was fine (no where on the menu did it provide a cutoff). Tried to scheme for an extra couple bucks and convinced us 4 extra small rooms would be better at double the rate. Malicious behavior... ended up going to another place for my birthday. Will never come to this location again. read more

The karagi (might have misspelled) chicken was soooo good. I mean crunchy and yummy. The service desk person was pretty thorough about explaining everything to us when we got there so I appreciated that. It's a little bit of a search where it's located because you have to kind of walk around a bit to find the store. In terms of ambiance the booth was hooked up really nicely. There was only four of us but it was just enough space. Also, their booth allows you to turn down the singing or turn it up. The volume accents were a great plus, on top of the microphone covers. Everything was clean and orderly. I think location just is a little confusing. read more
