This place is expensive -- the 20% service fee really adds to the price. I feel like they should…read morejust include the service fee into the base price instead of tacking it on as extra. In my experience, the service they provide is just leading you to your room and handing you the tablet and mics, which all karaoke places have to do anyway... A review mentioned that they will give you a 5-minute reminder before your time is up, but that has not happened for me. The rooms are clean and the decor inside the rooms and throughout the whole lounge is definitely impressive. It's a good place to have a party and take photos, and maybe you're OK with paying a premium for the optics. There seems to be a lot of parties held here on the weekends. The karaoke system works well. They offer YouTube on a handheld tablet, and you can queue songs. This is the best karaoke setup in my opinion because (1) you can stay seated and don't have to walk over to a wall-mounted screen like at other places; (2) having YouTube means the song selection isn't limited to what the system has, and you can sing whatever language/genre you want; (3) the UI is super easy as we are all familiar with YouTube. I'm not a fan of spending precious time figuring out how to use a karaoke system and sometimes they can be confusing, so YouTube is the way to go here (assuming it lets you queue songs, and you can do that here). Overall I find the price a little excessive, but you can definitely have a good experience here.

The lady we spoke to was in a rush to get off of the phone multiple times before we were finished with our questions which was rude. When we arrived, the same lady was working in the front. She wasn't welcoming at all. When she took us to the room she hastily explained how to play songs from YouTube. She was going so fast it was hard to understand what she was saying. Also, the room had the AC on blast and my grandparents were with us & they were feeling cold so we asked to turn the AC off but she never did. The lack of compassion or awareness that we had senior citizens in our group was appalling. The venue is nice & the lighting effects are cool but it's hard to recommend this karaoke lounge due to the bad customer service.

Trying different Karaoke places in the area after reopening and found this one much closer to home…read more The rates were reasonable, song selections were acceptable and the rooms were clean. We called at 5 pm Saturd right as it opened and was told all the small rooms were booked, but they were willing to give us the mid size room for the same price. The guy on the phone and at the counter was friendly. He gave us a quick tutorial in the room and off we went. As in most Karaoke places it offered songs mainly in English and Chinese, as well as some other languages (Japan/Kpop/Vietnamese/Malay, etc) English songs are easiest to find, Chinese songs as usual are more challenging. If you can hand write 繁體字 or 简体字 it's to your advantage. The sound system was adequate but probably slightly inferior to Music Tunnel KTV in Cupertino. The mic looked new and they even provided mini masks to cover up the head for protection in case you got too intimate with the mic. The menu can be toggled in between English or Chinese, the functions were not overly complicated. They gave us complimentary bottled water but no other services. Our rates were $30/hr ($15 per 30 min to be exact), I don't know if it's the same for weekdays vs weekends. Overall it's very reasonable and we probably will be back due to its proximity.

Good spot for karaoke in Hayward!…read more My friend called a couple days ahead to reserve our room and it sounded like a pretty easy process. The prices are reasonable as well. We got a small room for $40/hour, which split among the 4 of us was only $10/hour. I'm not sure about their regular karaoke system, but you can switch to Youtube and look up songs on there, so that's what we did. Had a blast singing along to random anime and Demon Kpop Hunters songs :)

Super expensive with terrible drinks that tasted nothing like how they normally should. Service was unbelievably slow, unprofessional, and it took two guys with nothing to do to make three unbelievably overpriced drinks in incredibly cheap plastic cups with ice that tasted like wood chips. While the ambiance and atmosphere of this place is pretty good, that's where it stops for the most part. The music selection system is not intuitive at all and god help you if you drink enough to enjoy yourself because you WILL NOT understand the system after a while. In good faith I can't rate this place very well and that's a shame because it does have the potential to be really cool; the biggest hurdle is the terrible device and assistance. If they put as much effort into the staff/service as they do the room layout and high drink prices it would be so much better. Because of how weird the staff vibe was my friends kept making jokes that this place must be made for money laundering lmao EDIT: HOLY SHIT down to one star from two; the final fees were insane. Not only did the staff purposely not notify us about going over time, but they charged additionally by the minute. $109 for less than two hours and that doesn't even include the $50 for the three absolutely terrible drinks. Even checkout was bad as the two staff kept looking at us like we're trying to steal something or leave without paying the bill. The entire vibe was awful on our way out as the staff mumbled at us and refused to make eye contact. Legitimately terrible at the end.

It was easy to operate their sound system, Walter the staff taught us. You have to prepare the songs you want to sing to enter to the karaoke sound system. Lots of parking and restaurants around the place. We didn't order food so I don't know about their food, but they only have snacks.

I'd say the large room is the most claustrophobic, because it involves two rows of couches with a narrow table in between for the refreshments (outside food and beverage are permitted). If you're trying to get out of the room to take a call or go to the restroom, it's rather awkward. If you're trying to look at the tablet to queue songs, it's rather awkward. However, this is probably the room I'd book the most since it fits the most people without being obscenely expensive (the SVIP room is huge, it even has a dance floor!). The workers are nice, the cleaning fee is rather tall at around $50 for the large room. You can request a water container with ice to be sent to your room! Service is nice, the selection of alcohol here is limited to beers and a handful of cocktails so I would definitely recommend doing a run prior to attending.

The restaurant is decorated very cool also but I've never posted pictures because my camera doesn't take great pictures in the lighting lol.

Expensive... but fun for a night out! + Cheese Tonkatsu Pork Cutlet (4/5): Crispy and very cheesy! Tasty, but a little small for the portion to be honest. Considering the price, I was expecting more. + Pocha Rose Tteokbokki (3/5): Nothing special. On the spicier side, so I wish it was more creamy. Rice cakes were a little too firm for me too. I wouldn't order it again. + Kimbap (4/5): Solid and made fresh! Good ingredients. These are not very durable though. They would start falling apart at just the touch of them.
