Bistro New York

It’s a korean run karaōke. They have a lot of songs in the asian languages, but the song selections for English were noticeably more limited. We had eaten dinner beforehand, so we didn’t order any food or drinks. If you don’t like the smell of smoke, it’s best to avoid this place. The room we got was comfortable and relaxing. Our friends still enjoyed the experience there, but the area does feel a bit on the sketchy side.

This Korean style karaōke lounge, lies just off of spaghetti junction, offers the typical party rooms for an hourly rate. The track selection has more than what most people have come to expect out of a karaōke bar and it may even surprise you.
I’ve been a frequent customer of Bistro for years now, and they’ve always provided great service, and sometimes go above and beyond if you’re a well mannered guest. Service is probably the best thing about this Korean business, and it has never fallen below my expectations. The relaxed atmosphere of the patio and tables are a great spot for a secluded conversation, while the karaōke rooms offers a great place to party.
Being a huge foodie for Korean cuisine, I’ve always mentioned that Bistro is above par for some of its food, but that doesn’t say much as most Korean karaōke establishments seem to overprice their food and do not provide great quality dining (its to be expected, though its not to be overlooked).
The sound system is typical, and does the job depending on the quality of the song. Will definitely swing by again for some more festivities!

Came here with the bf and a couple friends for late night karaōke-​ing. Apparently places in Atlanta allow smoking indoors. totally not used to that since it’s illegal in Chicago. The only pro was the cheap price of karaōke-​ing. It cost us about $ 7 per person for two hours. Other than that Bistro New York was sketchy, the couches were ripped up and dirty, and the mikes sucked. I wouldn’t come back unless I had nothing better to do and wanted to do something fun at a cheap price with a fun group of friends.

I always come by in the middle of the night when I’m craving Korean food and my grandparents are already asleep, lol.
The spicy rice cakes are pretty good here, and so is their korean fried rice. The karaōke is pretty standard to other karaōke spots, but this place has a nice chill /​lounge area that I usually come for. They open pretty late as well so it’s a good catch up, relaxing night sort of place.
I’m here pretty much every month lol. :]

I had previously been to Bistro once just for karaōke, but I didn’t think much of it. It was way too smoky (I guess they allow people to smoke cigarettes inside), and I didn’t think they had a good song selection. So when a friend of mine wanted to go to Bistro on a Saturday night for drinks, I was indifferent about it but went along.
Since I was still full from dinner, I didn’t plan on ordering anything to eat. My friend wanted soju, so we ordered a «small» tea kettle of soju. I’m not sure what brand of soju it was, but to me, soju is soju. It doesn’t taste great and isn’t meant to taste good.
If you order soju, they serve complimentary «anju» (Korean side dish consumed with alcohol), including baby carrots, celery sticks, and roasted peanuts.
My friend decided to order some chicken wings as an additional anju, and since the menu doesn’t specify how many wings come with one order, we asked our server. He told us that there were 10 pieces, but that they were smaller than normal wings. We didn’t think much of this because I understand that the sizes of chicken wings can vary from place to place.
When we got the wings, we were both shocked. The wings were the tiniest wings I had ever seen in my life! Seriously, they looked like they may have come from large baby chicks. Each wing had maybe one bite-​worth of meat on it. My friend let me try two of them (literally two bites!), and although they had a good, mild flavor, they were nowhere near worth the cost. We had expected the equivalent of maybe six «regular-​sized» wings, but it was more like three or four wings. Again, the wings are NOT worth the $ 7+ that they cost.
Overall, Bistro New York gets 2.5 stars for their «OK» service and decent food, but everything seems to be overpriced. I also thought it was amusing that they felt the need to post signs regarding various prohibited activities, including one warning against smuggling your own food or drinks because «You will be responsible for a fee of $ 200 per item you bring in» if you are caught. I may return if my friends want to go there for some drinks and anju, but I will not allow anyone to order the wings. No way.

EXPENSIVE, EXPENSIVE, EXPENSIVE!!! They are over charging for not-​so-​great smoothie and rice cake. I’ve had better rice cake up at If’s Bar. Down here, the cake is not chewy and the sauce is not flavorful at all. Since they lack spices, they turned up the heat in the rice cake… the result is diarrhea. The If’s Bar rice cake is perfect and won’t give you diarrhea… and you know what? If’s Bar charges less for the rice cake. If’s Bar has karaōke too. I can’t think of any other reason to come to this place at all. Tell me if you do, I will be at If’s Bar.

I went here for the first time last friday and it was lovely =) i love the korean crowd =) the ladies are nice and the gentlemen are too. karaōke was lovely, they have like 5 thousand songs. oh and the soju is lovely ;) i definately recommend coming here.

It’s a Korean joint mainly for chilling and drinking and hanging out with friends to do some catch up. Mostly crowded during the weekend nights. If you been to Korea and ate at their street-​side food, you’ll get that feel from this place. Some-​what homey except it’s more for the college to young professional group.

Average Korean karaōke bar with the private rooms. I still had a great time. There is a large selection of music including the pop and rap songs currently played on the radio.
Too many people smoke inside this bar. Also, the crowd is young, in their late teens or early twenties.

I don’t know about their food but their karaōke rooms are average. I only been there at night, and I see alot of koreans (of course, it is a korean bar aftter all). But the workers there are not really friendly and when I walked into the place, it’s like everyone is staring. Yes, kinda uncomfortable. I like the atmosphere though.

spackle of korean scene… sporadic throughout georgia… bistro all rolled into one… modern interiors with outdoor seating… slightly uncomfortable though… café, bar, food and karaōke… flight landing in atl… and bistro new york first to experience… service friendly, but finding waiter’s english lacking… mostly young crowds… option to migrate to private karaōke room. odd by high table… again uncomfortable… munching on donkatsu. fried breaded pork… finding platter xx-large…decent saucing with salad fixing… seafood pancake and fruit platter… acceptable korean bar food… ladies of atlanta coming full force… two bottles of grey goose…$hundred each… gulping down with splash of oj and cran… surprised by thirst, speed and quench… finishing off to empty…

This place is a Korean Bar more then a bistro or a café. It serves excellent food and the best Korean FRIED CHICKEN and Tthuck bboki (Korean rice cakes cooked in spicy sauce) they are to die for. Dont go their at night, you’ll be surrounded by young drunk Korean kids. They also have private Karaōke rooms in the back.

Yeah, this is more than just coffee and tea– this is an experience you will not forget if you ever get the chance to go here. I got an invite from my friend Ami’s boyfriend to be here for her surprise birthday party.
I was confused because I used to live off Pleasantdale and never EVER saw this place. Well, trying to be a good friend, I ended up driving to and fro for an hour trying to find this spot until I realized it was on the QT side of Pleasantdale and not the main stretch. Never went down that way, so I never saw this gem!
When my very Caucasian self showed up everyone in the place stopped and looked at me– I swear I heard a record scratch off somewhere, like an 80’s movie. This didn’t disturb me as Ami has always made me feel like an honorary Asian gal.
So I politely asked where Ami’s karaōke room was, as I was told we were to go there to sing karaōke and a room was reserved for us. They directed me to to a room, one of many, where we could have our own private singing session.
This place serves beer, wine, mixed drinks, and all sorts of food, coffee, and tea. But it is pricey. The front part of the establishment is for folks who don’t feel like singing, but they have about 8 – 10 rooms in the back where you can have your own closed-​door party and they have waitresses that come around to make sure you are doing okay.
They have an extensive collection of songs (with accompanying videos) in English, as well as other languages. The rooms come equipped with strobe lights and colored lights. There are usually two mikes so you and a friend can sing some soppy ballad ensemble.
You can sneak in your own gin and juice, or whatever your poison is, just keep it on the DL. We definitely had a lot of fun. I sang for my first time ever and it was only because Ami is my bff and it was her birthday. It may never happen again.
But this is definitely a fun place to go if you want a non– traditional karaōke event. They really do it up. And you don’t have to embarrass yourself in front of strangers, just your friends!
