Firstly, unlike one reviewer said, this place is NOT closed. Maybe they’d just closed temporarily for renovations or something? I dunno, but it’s certainly open now. The outside of this place is pretty daggy, but inside it’s fairly nice. The rooms especially have been done up pretty well, with big screen TVs, a disco ball, and nice furniture. The karaōke system was easy to use, and there was a second TV screen showing clips of hip Asians doing stuff, which was a pretty fun addition to the room. The song selection is decent, with lots of offbeat songs to choose from. But the downside is that they’re mysteriously missing some very common and popular music too. Like, it’s the first karaōke place I’ve been to where I actually got to sing a Christian metal song I like; I mean, how often do you see Christian metal on a karaōke list? Awesome. However, I did feel the distinct absence of ANY songs by Abba, or a number of the more popular songs by people like Michael Jackson or The Beatles. And while there were a lot of popular Christian artists on the list(which I thought was very cool), most of the songs were more obscure ones. Me and a friend both felt that it was almost as though they picked a bunch of popular bands and chose a handful of random songs from each artist, but didn’t consider which songs were actually well-known or well-liked. So yeah… odd song list, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse, but still pretty good on the whole. Also, they have a small menu to buy snacks from. I tried these spicy noodle tube things they serve there; they were super super spicy, but really tasty too. So, overall, me and my friends did spend a few hours there, and had a really good time. I’d go back there in the future. I’d give the place 4 stars if it weren’t for the lack of a lot of popular songs.

This karaōke bar is kind of far on the south side, and looks like it’s located in the middle of nowhere. I remember coming here with my friends during our high school grad, and being without a ride at 3am. It’s a fun karaōke bar, with large private rooms. That was my favorite thing about it – they had the largest karaōke rooms I’ve ever been in, with two couches to lounge in. They even had a small kitchen counter off to the side, in case you wanted to serve drinks or something I guess. It was like being in my own living room, it was that comfortable. They’ve got large tv screens for the karaōke, and a good selection of songs in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. The only thing about this place though, is that you have to manually write down the songs you want with pencil and paper. Most karaōke bars nowadays let you select your songs with a remote control, but it’s the old-fashioned way here. It’s not a bother if you’re only singing a few songs each, but if you plan on making it a major karaōke night, your hand may feel cramped as if you were writing an exam at night’s end. The owner was really nice, and he let us stay a little past closing. He let us stay inside for awhile too, when we had to wait for our ride home. I would go back for the super comfy rooms there for sure(this time, with a car). Hopefully, they will have upgraded to the remote control by then!
