New location for the Solo Karaoke chain! Now it's even more convenient as it's so close to Metrotown and Crystal mall. The parking situation kind of sucks as there's pretty much just paid street parking until the evening, but there are a lot of busses in the area or if you don't mind doing free street parking a few blocks away.
I really love this place though for their all-you-can-sing options. 5 hours might seem like a lot but it passes by very quickly with a bigger group! Currently it's around $23-26 for most of the 5-hour time slots which is very cheap. It's a pretty popular spot, so make sure to reserve a room in advance!
The karaoke menus have English text as well as Asian languages so they're super easy to use. They also have the YouTube app that you can access songs from if they're not in the main menu. It's also possible to search whole names of songs or artists instead of by just the first letter. I love this feature as it's so much easier teaching newer people how to select their own songs instead of relying on people who have karaoke'd before.
Solo+ sells both non-alcoholic beverages and alcoholic ones sometimes. They also sell food - their fried chicken is really really good. The food takes awhile to arrive but that's okay.
The rooms have air conditioning which is amazing. It never gets too hot, even with lots of people. Volume can also be adjusted. The sound-proofing is very good between rooms as long as the door is closed. I have never been bothered by the sounds in other rooms. The rooms themselves are very clean and newly renovated. read more
