Customer service is top tier, I used their online platform to ask my question & got immediate responses. The establishment itself is very homey, literally feels like a remodeled home. The rooms are spacious & can fit parties small or large. I have no clue how we didn't hear anything outside of our space but once you close that door it's OVER. Utilizing an iPad for YouTube lookups is the best because you can find the perfect fit to your needs. BYOF (food and drinks) for a fee but well worth it. Can't wait to go back for some fun!

The bartenders are mostly ok but the drinks are kind of inconsistent (a friend and I ordered the same drink and they were totally different). They do check id but it's annoying because I'm clearly a much older demographic lol. They don't serve food (I know they did at one point in time, but idk why they don't anymore).

Our group of 6 arrived at 8PM to get on the virtual queue early. Wait was about 30-45 min even that early in the night. There were many regulars there ready to sing already. We were fine with waiting and enjoyed a round of drinks. Getting a table at that time was easy but within a couple hours, the place was crowded. The bartender was attentive even as more people came in. She got us our drink orders pretty fast. Drinks were ok, but we were there for karaoke not a cocktail experience.

To get the positive notes out of the way, there were no issues with customer service, the room was…read moreclean, and the sound system worked well. 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.

They also require Venmo payment and a review online. What was expected to be under a $25 bill ended up at $37+ after their hidden fees.

I don't know what service charge they're automatically adding when they do not provide even basic service.

We were thrilled to book for an hour. At first we were given a small room, then we were asked to go to a different room which was bigger, medium size. We were fine as it was just my friend and I, the two of us. We had so much fun singing the English songs from YouTube. The only thing is there wasn't a way to input the songs in advance on YouTube. 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.
