Long standing karaoke bar with affordable room prices. it's usually $7/hr per person on weekends but for a large group it's $120 flat fee and they take reservations on weekends. drink prices are pretty standard. had some trouble with the karaoke machine and found that it's easier to use YouTube karaoke. read more

Mostly a 3 star place, but at $20/hr, they're at least $5 cheaper than other places so that's to their credit. The English song selection is fairly strong (to comparable places) and I think they have some newer songs on the digital (albeit confusing) remote. The rooms are a fairly good size too with fairly good sound quality. Just a tip that won't matter to most, but just in case: the scores they give at the end of songs are incredibly harsh!

Yonge Karaoke is my jam! I've been here at least three times and every time I sing my heart out and walk away content. The English pop song selection is up to date and plentiful. When you walk in: Ask the guy at the front to explain the controller since the buttons are in Korean, but as a white guy, I can still manage (the song names are in English and so are the lyrics). Also, the price can't be beaten at $20 / hour for a room. That's pocket change my new Yelp friend. Yours Truly, Ed Sheeran read more

Place smells completely like smoke. There's a no smoking sign on the door but they obviously don't enforce it. It's hard to breathe in there. Lots of good Korean song selection, bare minimum of other language songs.Plus the way the songs are categorized makes it hard to locate songs. Remote was confusing, songs selected didn't play, and no original artist singing just the background audio. Price was good, but I'm not a fan read more

This karaoke place is the place my friends and I go to most of the time. You have to take the stairs down and the place looks like an old run down place with graffiti all over the private rooms. when busy you can hear all the noise coming from all of the rooms although muffled. It is a Korean run business and the karaoke system is the same one they use in Korea. When compared to a karaoke place in Korea, this and many other businesses here cannot compare in service, appearance or quality. With a group you can guarantee that it will be $5/person/hr even (no tip/additional tax) which can be a good (for 4 people) or bad (for 4+ people) unless you know Korean and work out a better price. They definitely do give you extra hours if it's not busy though (6 hours even!!). The song selection they have is the best for Korean but they also have a comprehensive Japanese and English selection (only oldies and most recent popular ones make the cut). Their Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese songs are minimal but it exists. They keep their selections up to date although few for non-Korean languages. For your session, you get a few books, two mics and a Korean key-pad. If you don't know Korean, you might be a little confused about how to enter a song so I would suggest to either come with a Korean friend or have the staff explain it to you (might be limited because the keypad can do much more than add songs like skip, browse songs and make changes to the queue). I like the book and keypad system because you don't have to wait for someone to browse a digital selection before you can browse. You can even keep track of your favorite songs so that you can immediately make a selection next time or when the pad is free. If you request let's just say, Chinese songs, you may have to use a separate system which is troublesome when you have people who want to sing on the standard system. The karaoke video is old and random over timed lyrics. If you want to sing a Japanese song, lyrics are in authentic Japanese plus Korean romanization on top (same with Chinese songs). Korean of course is in authentic hangul. It also gives you an melody to go on, however instrumentation is altered and sounds synthetic. The TV system is not the most up to date but tolerable. Seats are comfy but not very accessible because of small space so be wary when sitting in the middle. The staff give you lots of privacy so you can probably bring your own snacks as long as you hide them when entering. There is a phone in the room to call for service as well. read more

We went here after eating at the Korean restaurant next door and we felt like karaoke. It is located in a basement where you have to walk down the stair and it looks kind of sketchy. But we had gone here before a few years back so we knew it was legit. The price was okay, $20/h for a group of four but I've been to cheaper places. The rooms are pretty dark with a nice comfy sofa that was in a U shape going around the room. You can also draw on the neon boards they have hanging on the wall which are already filled with other peoples drawings/words. It adds a nice touch to the decoration of the room. First things first, I would recommend you bring along a friend who knows Korean if you don't know yourself. The remote is in Korean and so is their karaoke system. The worker would teach you the basic buttons but there are a lot of other ones. Me and my friends don't sing very well so we like to have the original audio (the artist singing) in the background so we can follow the music easier and get the right tune. And ultimately not sound too bad. Unfortunately, there wasn't that option. I also had a problem with the videos they showed with the lyrics. Usually, the places I've been to shows the music video of that song but here, it was of what I assume Koreans singing live at concerts. There was a wide variety of singers too, old opera singers to young pop singers. Eventually I found the buttons to change the video (after pressing all of the buttons) and my options were Korean movie trailers, nature (videos of waterfalls), and 3D characters dancing. Maybe I'm forgetting a few but there was not the music videos option I wanted. They have a wide selection of English music, JPOP and KPOP. My friends and I stuck to English music and mostly found what we wanted. They had a mixture of 90's songs (which we wanted) and recent songs. But expect only mainstream songs. Beer costs $5, which is expensive in my books and Smirnoff Ice Green Apple costs $7. So if you ever want to do some drunk karaoke, I would suggest you drink somewhere else then go. Nak Won is next door and their beer is $3.50, which we drank before going. There is a score at the end of every song, not sure if it's really measuring your ability to sing, but we got zeros every time (cause we suck that much?) I would not want to come back because there are cheaper places, they do not have the music video playing with the songs and there isn't the option of the adding the original audio. read more

I love this place! My friends and I try to go all the time as much as we can - random group meet ups, after work, reunions, birthdays - we're Filipinos, we love to sing and we try to do it as much as we can. The owner and the workers are very nice. If it's not busy, they tend to give us an hour and a half more or so. They're very helpful and patient when it comes to technical difficulties as well. They also have alcohol and snacks. I kinda wish they had hot foods as well. Overall, I love this place! read more

I've been coming here to sing (or shout) my heart out since middle school. This place offers the most reasonable price in the area, plus they give you tons of service (extra time) during "non-peak" hours. Back in the day, they even gave you a coupon for a free pop, haven't seen that in a while though. The lady at the front desk has been working there for as long as I've been going to this place (almost 10 years). Is she the owner? I never bothered to ask. To rent out a room for 4 people it's about $20/h, which comes to about $5 per person, that's amazing! They are open from 11AM-I forget when but it's really late. Oh and here's a tip: if you speak Korean, DO speak Korean when you speak to the people at the front desk, you have a better chance of getting extra time. This one time, actually more than once, we got about 2 extra hours in service time. Yonge Karaoke is mostly filled with young high school kids that look older than they really are, and college students looking to relieve some stress and possibly mourn over a recent break up. Anyway they upgraded their TVs, Karaoke Machines and Mikes (now cordless) over the past couple years, so plus 1 star for that. They also update their song list every month with the most popular kpop, jpop, and mainstream songs. Although they don't have as large a selection for English songs as does Twister Karaoke, they still have a very large selection to choose from, as well as a few other language options. Minus one star because the place is pretty run down and grungy. In fact, it looks pretty shady at first, but it's actually very safe. read more

The place looks quite run down at first glance, but the karaoke equipment and songs are all quite up to date. Even though owned by Korean people, there's a large selection of English songs as well as songs of other languages. The people who run this place often give extra time than what you paid for if you come with a large group. We were a group of 10 and got two and a half hours for the price of one!! read more

I visited with my friends. The karaoke machine (TJ) wasn't so up to date to have all the Psy's new songs, but they had most of the songs we wanted to sing. For a group of 5, I say we had a lot of fun. read more

I've been here a handful of times recently. It's a great place if you're in the mood to sing your heart out in a private room without the uncomfortable atmosphere of strangers watching you during public karaoke sessions in bars. Yesterday night (Saturday) my friends and I went. Although it was quite busy, they gave us an extra 10 minutes (usually they charge 25$/hr on weekends). We had difficulty using their gigantic remote control so make sure you ask for help before you waste your time figuring it out while your precious singing time is going to waste! I would come back here on a weekday because it's less busy and so they're more willing to give you an extra hour or so, like what happened last time I went on a Monday. 3/5 stars only because the atmosphere is subpar compared to other karaoke joints (ie. TEN23, Bar+ Karaoke) read more

not a lot of 2019 songs, but the selection they had was really good! my friends and i had an amazing time for only $6 a person, and if you go when it's not too busy, they might give you free time. we got around an hour and a half extra for no extra charge whatsoever!! the owner was also super sweet and kind. definitely would recommend!! read more
