Loved this place! It's everything a karaoke dive bar should be. Husband and I came here after we…read morebriefly stopped at a bizarre karaoke place across the street. When we came in (around 9:15 on a Friday night), the place was packed. We ended up sharing a table with a nice couple and the bartender/server came right out and took our orders. Karaoke was happening and after a guy finished his song, I took my turn. Crowd was super fun and appreciative. My husband and one other gal at our table also sang a few songs as well. The ladies room here was also super clean! Anyway, if you're looking for a relaxed karaoke atmosphere in a place with good drinks and friendly people I highly recommend Lava's.

Quick service but not pushy on drinks. A great 2 page menu of local fare provides fried, grilled or shared plates of pupus or full meals. Love the piping hot crinkle cut fries that come with our local Maui blend of mustard and mayo. Best value on the island. Free parking in the back and incognito back entrance. Hint: Watchale for karaoke later in the evening. When that starts it gets a bit loud and I don't remember Whitney wannabes belting out Auto-tuned hits.

VERY disappointed in Castle Karaoke. We originally had the room RESERVED for 6-9pm. The guy didn't…read moreshow up to open up until around 6:10pm. I was the one that had to make contact first to find out what was happening because he didn't. We ended up starting our session @ 6:35pm - in which HE let us know that this will be our new start time (because he was late) & we will end @ 9:35pm. Keep in mind that it was super hot BECAUSE HE WAS LATE TO SET EVRYTHING UP!!!! He also had the nerve to ask my husband "is this for a birthday?" in which my husband said "yeah it is." Then the guy asked "do you guys have confetti?" My husband laughed it off and said "no we do not." & the guy responds, "okay good." Our group extended another hour before our time was up. He tells us "your end time is 10:30pm" cutting us 5 minutes. We didnt think anything of it. Whats 5 minutes... thats nothing major. We then did another 1 hour extension, which you'd think 1 hour from 10:30 is 11:30... he then told my sister (who extended) that our end time is 11:15!! He told her "it's because I gave your group 15 minutes to set up before you started." She didn't say anything about it, but came back in the room & told me that. I went outside to ask for clarification because it did NOT make sense that we are PAYING for the time we are using their system & they allowed us the 15 minute set up time prior to our session starting! When I asked about it, he told me "it's because I gave you 15 minutes before to set up." I then asked "okay, so just to clarify... with us setting up, 15 minutes before the karaoke session, that cut us 15 minutes of karaoke? Is set up time included in the karaoke session & what we are paying for?" He tells me "no it's not included you can set up before you start. But since let you guys set up 15 minutes before thats why your thats your end time." So i reiterate -- "So because we set up 15 minutes before, we are cut 15 minutes from our Karaoke session? But you just told me that the set up time is not included. And you also told us before that our end time is 9:35, then changed to 10:30 & now it's 11:15?! That does not make sense when we are paying." He responds with, "thats okay. You guys can just have the 15 minutes." So of course I respond with "we will because it's what we PAID for." We then decided to extend 1 more hour. At this point, you can already tell that the guy is even MORE irritated. I asked what our end time was, he says "12:30pm." So i told him "okay thank you! This is our last hour." 12:15 hits and we are still singing, but also starting to wrap things up by gathering & putting away whatever we had out. 12:24am hits -- the door opens. It's the guy with a trash can & the broom. We are still singing because we have till 12:30am to end our session. He leaves the door open & tells us "your session is up." One of my sisters said "it's not 12:30 yet." he walks away. He comes back at 12:26am & says it again, "your session is up." My sister continues to sing. I told her to stop & let's get out of here because of the shitty service they've been providing. As soon as we all walk out, he locks the door, shuts everything off & turns off the "open" sign. We were the last ones there. Their hours of operation literally state 5pm-2am. & you are allowed to extend as long as there's no reservations after you! WHICH THERE WERE NONE! You'd think they'd be happy to get money & service on a Thursday night when they are slow. But this guy was a total dick who tried to cut time off of our session that we are paying for, because he wanted to close up & leave!!

My friends and I ended up here after a night of bar hopping in the central valley. We were greeted…read morewith friendliness, sat down, and were politely asked if we needed girls, which we declined, and were never bothered again. We just needed some night caps. ATMOSPHERE: The bar is located on the first level of the parking garage of the Puuone Towers, along with a handful of other Korean bars and restaurants. Dim pink lighting, bar and booth seating and a tiny dance floor. Bathrooms are located inside. BEVERAGE: Despite looking like a full bar, they could only fulfill our beer orders and had no knowledge of mixed drinks. ENTERTAINMENT: It's a mix of karaoke and background. The drinks were a bit pricey for a bar of this magnitude ($6 for Heineken.) SERVICE: Friendly and unobtrusive. OVERALL: Come here for the girls or just to have a great time with friends.

The music was whatever, some old school. some hip hop, some edm. Also its a very, very small place. Much smaller than we had imagined. It probably could be a good time in here for locals, but not for big city girls.

I did a search on Instagram and came across this business Ohana Karaoke Cafe & Grill, for Korean foods. This is all for my other half since he is a meat Jun Snob, he loves his meat jun so I decided to check out this business for our 2nd lunch. Nice idea, Karaoke and Korean foods, great combination! There are tables for dining and about 3 Karaoke rooms ( small, medium, & large) Connie (owner) greeted us and took our order. She was super friendly, usually at the restaurants here on Koreamouku, I have to be extra nice so they can be more friendlier. *note, no complimentary water here at all, you can bring your own or purchase the water here. Our orders were the meat jun and fish jun combo ($19.) and it has been a long time since I last had my Korean noods, got the ramen noodles with dumplings ( $10.) Big portions, everything was enough for 2 even came home with leftover jun. So the verdict and I ask the other half, so Mr. Meat Jun Snob what is the ratings, he said "7/10 and the fish jun makes up for it". hehe. Even though I can fancy up my Korean ramen better with the fixings, the noods was a great fix, There were 5 ban chan, zuchini and broccoli was too salty but enjoyed kim chee and sprouts. It was nice enjoying Korean foods on Maui! The other half thanked me and I am glad he was happy with his meat jun fixed. If we are back on Maui for longer than 3 hours, we would def. be back again! The prices for portion size and quality is reasonable! Support this wonderful local business!

The yukgaejang was tasty, had a good amount of vegetables and meat and just a good amount of spice. The mandoo was good although I wish they were a bit larger with a thicker wrapping. They also give an assortment of ban chan such as kimchee, brocolli, and fish cake. I prefer my kimchee fresh but many prefer them on the fermented side which it was. The prices are on the high side but that's expected for most korean restaurants nowadays. Looking forward to coming here back again and trying other main dishes like their Kalbi and Spicy Pork.

You'll need to shout in my hearing aid to find out if there's enough seating, where the head is or whether your drink is ready. In the back, there was once an overflow area, that is now a perfect place to sit with others to have a conversation away from the 150 decibel speakers and the other two attractive bars are full.
