Okay so hear me out... I enjoyed Live K for what it was. A karaoke lounge. So for that alone, Live…read moreK can get 4 stars. And parking in the surrounding area wasn't bad - about $24 for 3 hours on a Friday night in The Wharf garage. If I caught the parking price list accurately, 0-1 hours was $6, and 1-2 hours was $11. There is also valet options available too. Outside of that, let's step into the inside.... I attended Live K on a Friday night for a friends birthday. She did not book an isolated room but the opened floor was just that - an opened floor, people walking past, mics being passed around the floor, the bar steps away, all of the things. It's fun. BUT, I'm not going to lie - I will NOT order food or drinks from this place. I was told from the birthday girl that there is a happy hour with food and drinks from I think 4-7p but I arrived later than that, and paid MORE than full price for drinks in my opinion...... .....4 shots.... & 1 Red Bull, $124....... So do with that information what you will. I could NOT give this place 5-stars if I'm including REASONABLE prices.

My review is more for my personal experience than the customer service…read more I attended a birthday party here and I had an amazing time with my friends so I can give them credit for not ruining that haha. The location itself is awful but that's the wharf for you. Parking is horrible and the garage is super expensive so the new location at the harbor may be better. We had a separate room and it came with two mics which was fun for us to duet or just share a song with a friend. The database is hard to navigate and a great deal of the songs don't come with lyrics so that was a bummer. Also they don't display the song when you're singing, sometimes it would be random figures on the screen so that was different. My friend ordered skewers, wings and fries and that was fairly solid so I don't have much input there. The bathroom was disgusting. Water leaking all over the floor and trash cans overflowing. I'd come back to the location if I could carpool but with the new location at the harbor that would be easier to navigate for sure.

This was my first time here on a Saturday night renting a Karaoke room with 6 of my friends. Pros: Staff was nice, greeted us immediately and ushered us to our Karaoke room. They explained how to operate the system and select songs. They also responded quicky to any issues. The restaurant itself was easy to find and clean. The Karaoke rooms were spacious and luxurious with great lighting and sound quality. You were able to customize the microphone, echo and music volumes. There was a "KPop" button which was exciting (You have to go to find out haha). Each song on the main system came with a background video and easy to follow lyrics. Cons: The system was a struggle to learn and if you couldn't find a song, switching over to an ipad for youtube and back was not easy. The main system default was in a different language and limited, even for popular American songs. So I had to call for help a number of times which interrupted our experience. The WiFi wasn't working in our room which made the QR code they provided useless, I had to walk all the way to the front just to order drinks. Drinks were expensive, $10 for Kiren Light + 20% automatic service charge + 10% tax which comes out to be $13 per beer. Usually I pay $5-7 for a basic beer. Also, usually the Karaoke rooms I've been to in the past provide tambourines or something to play with when singing. Once I asked, they gave us 2, but they were really beat up. They were supposed to light up, they didn't. They were cheap plastic and cracked easily. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Echo Box. The staff was really nice and the Karoke rooms were fancy and well maintained. I would be aware for next time that the system might be a challenge, you may have to spend more on or work a bit harder to order drinks and maybe bring your own tambourine (if you have one haha).

Deliciousness - 3/5 Happiness -5/5…read more This place is for drinkers as it has no food, so if you want to lift an ale (and go out for dinner before or after, or bring food in with you), this is the place to be. They have a large beer, wine, and liquor list (although not nearly as many English beers as I expected from a place called Crown & Crow). I won't deny that I wasn't a fan of either of the mixed cocktails I had, with both (including strangely a smoky drink) being too sweet. But the beer was expertly poured and the wine was a very generous serving. The prices are also more than reasonable, which is great for a DC bar. But what really elevates this place is the service. By late night, the place was jam packed. But each and every bartender was extremely friendly and they expertly worked the crowd, getting drinks served quickly (which too few places manage to do) and swiftly clearing off tables of dirty glasses. I also greatly appreciated the free goldfish that they happily dole out to the patrons. The staff made this a really good time.

We came in on a busy Saturday early-evening for drinks before dinner. The back room was…read more"reserved", but we were told to sit back there, given the size of our group and we sat nowhere near the party that was in there. The bartender in that area was friendly, but unhelpful, directing us to use the front room's bartender, even though she wasn't busy when we approached and asked for a couple of drinks. The bartender in the main room was great, he was very friendly and once he started a tab for me he said I could use the other bar too, I guess he wasn't aware the bartender at that other bar already told me she wouldn't help me. Regardless, the drinks we had were decent. For small bites, they only had gold fish crackers, I wish they would have had more to nosh on while drinking. Overall, not a bad visit.

Each piece came out thoughtfully paced, properly seasoned, and beautifully plated. The rice was warm and balanced, the fish was clean and fresh, and the cuts were generous without being over the top. Highlights included buttery toro and delicately torched selections that melted instantly. Of course, we added extra nigiri because restraint is overrated. Zero regrets. Cocktails were solid -- well balanced and not overly sweet -- which paired nicely with the progression of the omakase. The space itself has a sleek, modern feel with an energetic but not chaotic atmosphere. Great for a date night or a small group. Service is a tad slow but that because this place was completely full.

Our group had a 9:15 reservation and hung out in the bar area until it was time to go into our private room. The rooms are well equipped and will house as many folks as it says, which is convenient for planning purposes. I appreciated the tambourine they provided and used it LIBERALLY, for ambiance. Many of your favorite tunes will be pushed right into the system, and there's also the option to look up any rogue songs not included on youtube. The sound is great and though there can be some microphone feedback. There's no real bleed through from the other rooms and definitely a party atmosphere. Full bar is available and I didn't try and food items. Overall a great spot to celebrate an occasion and release some serious dance/sing/play endorphins!
