A very fun space - easy to use, clean, friendly staff. There are a lot of songs to choose from. The cocktails are pricey. Overall, a fun time with friends. read more

Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Song selection is only available on the healsonic app and I downloaded in advance to ensure there were no issues. Amongst our group of 13 people, we all had issues connecting to the WiFi and the tv. I convinced the front desk to give us an iPad to manage the music and that also wasn't working. I called the guys to the room multiple times to troubleshoot and it still wasn't working. We fought with the technology throughout the whole 3 hour reservation which really made it difficult to enjoy the experience. During the times it was working, the app was glitchy and we had difficulties seeing the queue and skipping over songs. Also, one of the microphones was barely working. Additionally, before booking I inquired amongst a number of places to compare prices. We picked this place because we were told that there would be an assigned server to our room to allow us to enjoy the open bar experience and not have to step out to the bar to get drinks. Upon arriving, I was told that wasn't the case, even though it was in my email. After a lot of back and forth, they finally agreed to come serve to our room but there were still times I had to leave the room and chase them down. I have done karaoke many times and this was a very stressful experience. read more

Reserved a room for a birthday two weeks in advanced. There was a massive line at the elevator which made us 7 minutes late. They gave our room up and told us wait 20 minutes. When I asked why they gave our room up they said there is a "5 minute grace period" which sucked having 12 people now jamming up the counter area. Then the Big shot guy running the place that had no control over anything got upset I was asking questions about why they gave our room up and told us to leave! You could tell all the other workers were embarrassed by this clown. They kept apologizing for him. He started yelling "get out!" For no reason. After waiting 10 minutes to go up to the place this jerkoff starts yelling at me. Horrible management . One of the workers told us about another place 3 buildings down so we went there and had a wonderful experience. I will never go there ever again. The management at this place has no business representing this company. They pushed business out the door and were extremely rude and disrespectful because they were overwhelmed. Terrible experience. DO NOT GO HERE!! There are way better places to go to. read more

3 stars for the room sizes, attentive staff and cleanliness of the venue. The program they use for the karaoke is glitchy and unreliable. It definitely put a damper on our evening. You have to connect to their WiFi, then download an app to select songs - which is annoying in and of itself. The app, Healsonic is glitchy and hardly worked. Many of the songs we selected did not get added to the queue the first time, or the second and third times either, we had to keep adding the song until it finally worked. The app inconsistently showed us the queue so we could not always view what was coming next. The app also froze constantly and if you exited, you had to sign in all over again. Twice I tried to login with the PIN code they provide and it wouldn't let me in. The song selection is also not great and is missing a lot of popular songs. Getting up to the venue also takes forever because the elevator is packed with people going to the various other places in the building. Given how crucial a functioning karaoke system is at a karaoke bar, I don't think I'd come back here because of the glitchy system. The cocktails are also overpriced for a karaoke bar at $18 - and they're essentially watered down. 1 drink minimum per person, but it appears to include soft drinks as well. read more

Nice space, but the app and volume control was a bit lacking compared to other karaoke places. Service was ok but could be friendlier. An ok place but I heavily prefer some of the other karaoke rooms in the area. read more

We came to our reservation on time however had to wait 30 minutes. Staff was very apologetic and they seemed very busy. They offered compensations. We wish it was a bit more organized but overall enjoyed our room and staff being quick to answer our call button. read more

Came here to celebrate my best friend's birthday, it was a good vibe. I actually really loved the lighting in the room and the privacy that it came with. You do have to reserve the room by calling in advance, could even be an hour before, which is what we did. It is a little confusing arriving to the karaoke, only because there are a few more around the strip. It is on another floor, so you do have to take the elevator. The room reservation is $50 per hr. Do keep in mind that if it's a certain hour of night or certain day, you do have to pa a minimum of 2 hours. The drinks were pretty good, we started off with a Peach Soju bottle, pretty strong and tasted good. We got a few drinks off the specials, they were alright, just real strong. The food did what it had to do, Mozzarella Sticks and some Chips n Salsa. They have an app that you use to play the karaoke songs called HealSonic. It's a bit confusing at first in my opinion, but since I was familiar with it from a past experience at different karaoke spot in Connecticut, I didn't have a problem. Overall, had a great time! read more

small karaoke place in koreatown, the entrance is a little hard to find since they don't have a sign perpendicular to the road when you're walking, but they have a screen board on the building they're in. it's very nicely decorated inside and they have a great song catalogue, it's very updated. small rooms are 50 an hour. the decor in the rooms are not that crazy but it works and sometimes utility and cleanliness are most important. overall it's a solid place read more

You have many options in K-Town for Karaoke, and this was just as good as the other ones. I really don't have much to say except that it was a fun experience, but finding the entrance was a bit confusing. read more

This is my second time here, but I will not be returning or recommending. The staffs were rude and unhelpful. Our room had a faulty karaoke machine because the lyrics were not showing up on the screen. There was a sheet music option that came with lyrics, but then you can't queue songs while a song is currently playing, which is a time sink. On top of that, the controller was fully in Korean. We spent 20 minutes asking the staffs to come and help us. Each time they would he very upset that they had to be there for us. We asked if we could get some time back, but as expected they said no. read more

Great place I visited a karaoke bar and was absolutely delighted! Great atmosphere, excellent sound, and friendly staff. The food was also a pleasant surprise -- especially the delicious wings.

The lady tried to make us do 5 star to get better business, This goes against my morals, otherwise solid place, the song selection wasn't the best as it only had some songs. Had the French fries and they were mediocre. Overall 3/5 read more

Pros: #1 I left my wallet in the karaoke room & they returned it to me. Gold star for honesty. There was a paper catalog provided, but the app was great for choosing songs by artist or title. I loved that you could push your song request to the top of the queue. That made for a lot of practical joking that added to the fun. They offered beverages & food. Our staple was peach soju? (soon brand?). We also tried the lychee ? But Ai will talk about that under the cons. Colorful murals decorated the lobby. I never saw the full bar that was described, but I was focused on the Karaoke rooms. The Karaoke rate was $40/hour for up to five people. We were told that the price gets prorated once you get into increments of hours. Cons: The elevator is small, so if you come at the wrong time, you might be on a long line even to make it up to the 7th floor. The song catalog was extensive, but there were newish songs that were not in the catalog; for example, Beyoncé's Cuff It. When you weren't currently singing, you could hear the other people in the establishment singing karaoke. There is a porthole read peep hole in the door. Randomly other people would stare in at you while you were singing. read more

Only reason i came here is because my friends boyfriend had a surprise bday for her here. Other than that i would have never stepped foot in this dump. This place is complete trash! The staff is rude and unprofessional. The drink prices are insanely over priced. They also automatically add 18-20% gratuity when getting a drink from the bar. Which is a complete scam! How are you automatically adding a tip when someone is pouring a lousy drink or grabbing a beer. As a business owner this type of business i bet is struggling on the back end because the way they run this place is giving poor management. Somebody call John Taffer from bar rescue because they need the help!! The customers are not suppose to be here to pay your employees salary. The bartender was arguing with me because she didn't like that i was complaining to my husband in a private conversation about the tip that's added on and her weak drinks. She also was free pouring and not using the proper measurement cup to make sure guest are getting what they deserve when buying drinks. After i told her politely to please mind the business that pays her which is tending to the the zero customers they had at the bar and not worry about what me and my husband were discussing. After reading reviews about racism and prejudice i wouldn't be surprised. DOH needs to also come take a look at this place because i saw plenty of issues and unsafe handling of food and alcohol. But the bartender she changed her tune after i put her in her place. I'm not some bimbo you can disrespect because you think you are better than me. I don't like bigots and i will most certainly make you feel stupid. Then she proceeds to say that she agrees there shouldn't be automatic tip on the bill. So business owner your staff don't agree lol. However i know she's BS because why wouldn't she not want an automatic tip for doing nothing. read more

Karaoke City was so accommodating! They reached out to me quickly after making my reservation. Anytime I had questions I would just text them and they would reply pretty quickly. We got stuck in traffic so we got there late, but they were so understanding and let us take our full two hours. Their prices are also very reasonable. I highly recommend them! read more

Amazing service, fantastic atmosphere, great drinks! Highly recommend for a great night out

The song choices were quite outdated in some areas and then there were instances where they had the most updated album from some artists. Also, they didn't give any type of warning that our 2 hours were about to finish and then came in and told us immediately that our time was up and had to go. No opportunity for maybe extending the time or a warning that we were about to reach our time. Then while we were getting ourselves together, they came in to turn the light on in an effort to make us move faster as if I didn't have a larger group to situate. Very disappointed. read more

Rating: 3.5 stars Karaoke City is huge so I'm usually always able to just walk in with a group of people without a reservation on peak times (IE Saturday nights). They make you download an app to order songs and control the system. The sound system is not the best and the staff are not the most friendly sometimes but it is a nice no frills karaoke place that you can just go to when you want to sing last minute. read more

A group of us came here and had a great time. I was able to message through Yelp prior to arriving and they were very responsive. I was able to get availability and rate through messaging and our room was ready when we arrived. It was the perfect size for our group of 10 and they have rooms that fit up to 40 people! It was a bit hard to find from the outside and is on the upper floor of a building. The system had a lot of songs and technically worked well, with good sound. The bathrooms were right down the hall and were not the most clean, but good enough. The staff checked in on us, but not too much and the drinks came quickly. We closed out the place and they tried to rush us, but let us sing a few last songs before booting us. Bonus was we could see the Empire State Building from our room! read more

Came here after a team dinner and had a fantastic time. We had a large private room for more than 15 people even tho we didn't make any reservations in advance. Ordered a bunch of alcohol and love that their karafe of soju came in a lit up bottle. They have a decent selection of music, mostly English. Wish there were more non English song selections but we still had a great time nonetheless! read more

Came in at 5:30pm on a a Sunday with 10 people. Place was empty and the server/hostess at the front had the most hostile attitude from the beginning. Wanted us to order drinks (said its required that its one drink minimum per person and that we needed to tell him now) meanwhile we had just put out first song on and we had planned on drinking but it was just his bad energy from the beginning that threw everything off.) when I pulled him outside to try and discuss while my friends sang the first song he said that he's worked there a long time and knows how people are. So then I asked where this drink minimum was posted and then he said that it's known so if we didn't want a drink we could leave... just the worst energy from the beginning. For 5:30 on a Sunday when the place was empty and bringing 10 people when we pay per person. You would expect better service or even better communication. Oh and then he automatically tips himself 18% on the bill at the end. Great catch. Go somewhere else. Oh and expect to have to buy a drink even though it's not posted anywhere. Just how they do business. read more

It was fun, wish there was more food options but that's all. Service was okay, some were friendly and some were a little stand off ish but it wasn't a bad experience read more

This karaoke spot feels like a huge, spotless venue. The open-mic karaoke is actually a great way to spend a weekend, and when the bar gets packed, singing along with everyone turns into the most chaotic--but fun--energy. Honestly, a good vibe. read more

My boyfriend and I came here on a Friday during the summer around 3pm. We didn't make a reservation but there were plenty of rooms available so we didn't wait at all. The staff was very prompt and professional. I can easily kill 2 hours of karaoke by myself, but since this was our first time here, we only booked 1 hour just in case. I'm really glad for that because I was under the impression I'd be able to sing both Japanese and Korean songs. Despite changing the language on the app, no songs outside of English/American artists were available. It gave me errors for every JP/Kr song I tried to select. The variety of American songs and artists however, was pretty decent. read more

Went here for my daughter's birthday party and had a blast! Staff was super helpful and Price was good. We karaoke for about two hours and will definitely be back! We had our own private room and hey had a wide selection of songs to choose from. read more

I do not recommend this place. Our friends invited us to join their reservation on Saturday night. I arrived with one other friend with an hour left in their time slot. The venue offered an optional open bar with wristbands, but since we weren't part of the main group and had limited time, we opted out and bought just one drink--an overpriced $38.52 for two whiskey ginger ales. When the bill arrived, we were wrongly charged for the open bar and a full night of karaoke. Despite multiple calls, the restaurant refused to remove the open bar charge, offering only a refund for our drinks. They even hung up on us when we tried to resolve the issue. There are plenty of other karaoke bars in the city, and I won't be returning. This place has potential, but it's run by greedy owners who take advantage of paying customers. read more

I went this past weekend. I was only coming by to say hello to some friends that had a room there, I was there for about 56 minutes and did NOT get a wristband for the open bar. After I spent money at the bar with my cash, I found out a day later that I was charged for 2 hours of karaoke and 2 hours of an open bar. We tried calling multiple times and they mentioned it was "mandatory" to charge us the full amount. Had they mentioned that we would have been charged a full amount, we would have walked away and went to one of the other karaoke bars. But they failed to do that, ultimately scamming us of our money and causing an uncomfortable experience for multiple people involved. I will not be returning here, this isn't good customer service. They are a dishonest and scamming venue, and I bet our party wasn't the only one who were victims to their lack of integrity. read more

I wanted to go karaoke with my friends while I was in New York, so we chose this spot and I'm glad we did! The prices were very affordable; we paid $40/hour for our room on a Thursday night, which between the 4 of us was only $20 pp for two hours. Some of the other karaoke spots we were considering were much pricier, so I was pretty happy with the prices here. I'm docking one star because they use the book system here, and it's always a hassle to flip through and look for a particular song or artist. Plus we couldn't find newer songs from the last year. HOWEVER, I think there's an online site you can use to look up songs as well. The URL is posted next to the main desk, but my friend misremembered the URL and we didn't end up using it. We briefly looked at it later as we were paying and it was so much easier to find a song, so I'd recommend using a combination of both! Iirc he website didn't have a way to browse though, so you have to know exactly what song or artist you want to look up. They also offer some snacks and alcohol here. We came here after dinner so we skipped the snacks, but we got a carafe of watermelon soju ($30) to share. It was delicious and came in a large bottle so it was great for sharing! Would recommend the soju cocktails here. read more

After watching every season of Aggretsuko and empathizing with her feelings from the stresses of the corporate world, I really wanted to try karaoke. However, I am not strong enough to do it alone so I brought a friend. Song selection: 3/5 Their song books only had songs from the the summer of 2018 and not all of them worked!! I really wanted to wanted some Olivia Rodrigo. Also adding fuel to the fire, I ordered water and it tasted off. This did not encourage me to order anything else. All in all, I am going to visit other places and see if they have some more current song books. read more

This was one of the best Ktown Karaoke experiences I've had! Generally I expect some frustration using the remote/machine, but at this place you can use an app to connect to the karaoke machine and queue songs along with the rest of your group. This avoided so much of the headache that I've had at other karaoke places! Also, there are a ton of recent popular songs through the app which aren't available in the clunky binders that they also provide (to be used with clunky controller pads labeled only in Korean). Basically-- to have a great time at this place, use the app, not the binders. Note that through the app, there isn't a good selection of non-Western songs, but this wasn't an issue for us. For our booking of 6 people for 2 hours, plus some drinks/pitchers shared by the group, the price was super reasonable (less than $40/person). Side note: when I called to reserve, no one answered but then I immediately received a text from a different number, through which I booked the reservation. Thought it was weird initially, but it turned out to be legit. All in all though, I had a pretty seamless and positive experience with Karaoke City that checked all my boxes for a really fun karaoke night! read more

Fun experience overall, but beware the bad vibes behind the bar. My friends and I came to Karaoke City looking for a low-key karaoke night that didn't involve renting an entire private room -- and this place totally delivered on that front. It's a spacious bar setup with multiple screens where you can pay just $2 per song to sing sitting at the bar. Super fun, casual, and exactly what we wanted. The vibe was great at first, and one of the bartenders really stood out -- she was kind, friendly, and personable. Every time we submitted a song, she'd smile and say "good choice!" She made us feel welcomed. Now for the reason I can't give this place five stars... There was another bartender who was the complete opposite. She seemed visibly annoyed by any customers presence from the moment we walked in -- zero eye contact, a constant stink face, and flat-out refused to give us pens to write down song choices (which is literally the process they require). She acted like doing her job was some kind of punishment. At one point, she was more focused on fixing her hair in the mirror and eating than actually tending bar. We ordered two beers that were listed at $9 on the menu. When we went to pay, she barked "$23" at us without explanation -- repeatedly. I can only assume some magical price hike happened at the register or her tip was baked in somehow. When we said thank you on the way out, the friendly bartender smiled and waved -- but the other one wouldn't even look us in the face. It honestly felt like us being there was ruining her night, which is WILD for someone working in customer service. Before we left, I let another staff member know that one bartender was great and the other was not. His response? "Oh, I know who you're talking about." So here's the bottom line:Yes, I'd go back -- the karaoke setup is great, the song selection is solid, and it's fun without needing a private room.But come prepared: bring your own pen, be ready for some mood swings behind the bar, and don't trust the prices listed on the menu. And if the bartender in the baggy jacket and goth attitude is working, maybe skip the drinks and just enjoy the music. read more

I was invited to karaoke party for a birthday celebration. We had a large group with us (around 35 people). It's on the 7th floor of a building with multiple businesses. Pros: - large room with plenty of seats - 4 screens in the room with the karaoke lyrics - bartenders were nice and their drinks are good - several books in the room for song choices - you can book a room for 2 hours but if you need to extend the time they give you that option. - only an 8-10 minute walk from New York Penn Station for those traveling in from NJ like myself Cons: - It was hard to find at first. Across the street, there was a sign that said karaoke for a completely different business but Karaoke city didn't have any sign. I had to ask the man in the lobby taking reservations for one of the restaurants just to confirm I was in the right place. - there were some glitches with the karaoke song selections - the elevator got stuck with 6 people from my group and the some of employees were very dismissive about it. FYI: - there's an 18% gratuity included with drinks you purchase even if you are just purchasing for yourself. - only appetizers such as wings and fries are available to eat but they are a good size. - Very busy on a Friday night but they have plenty of rooms to accommodate it. - I got my friend a bottle as d'usse as a gift it was in a gift bag and wasn't going to be open at all but they still didn't allow it in the room, they requested it stay at the hostess table in the front. Overall, will you have fun there with your friends? Yes. If you have a large group this is the place for you. But there are probably better karaoke options in the city. read more
