Tina Lauren LopezDecember 14, 2013If u're not a karaoke expert & don't feel like getting up in front of a group of people this spot is perfect. They pass around the mic & u can sing at ur table, by the bar or in a circle of friends.- Alex KremerAugust 27, 2014Get a private room and karaoke to your heart's content. The price of scotch is really reasonable!Upvoted 1 day ago
Lien TranApril 29, 2013Love Japas 38! Jun was the best - such a friendly guy and treated us well for the 3 hours we were there. I used to lived in Japan and this is my favorite karaoke box in NYC.
Monica CullenJune 28, 2015Private karaoke rooms with a strict policy on time. Once your two hours are up you will be offered one hour for 10$ a head without booze or 20$ a head with booze.- Jazmin HuppApril 2, 2011Party Packages are the best deal. Reserve 24 hours in advance with 4+ for the alcohol + appetizer + private room setup of your choice. Ranges from $25-$45/person depending.
Josh SaletnikAugust 22, 2014I love that they let you get your own drinks at the bar even if you are in a private room.
Vivian KongSeptember 16, 2015They certainly have some next lvl karaoke rooms. Open karaoke at the bar is great too! $1/song
Lucius KwokJuly 20, 2012Japanese restaurant during lunch, karaoke bar at night. The lunch specials are worth coming here for.
Jennifer ShafranSeptember 15, 2012Fun place for karaoke. Good space at main bar and the rooms are also quite good!
Rubina FillionMarch 10, 2012Come for Happy Hour and get a ridiculous, huge tropical drink for less than $5.
Sitting at the bar is good. Getting Mika and masa's attention is better
Yasmine GomezDecember 12, 2012The Fugees' Killing Me Softly is a free drink winning song on Tues nights.
Mike HornMarch 1, 2010Awesome Saki Bomb/Karaoke Place. I highly suggest to never order the all-you-can-eat fried food platter. It's like an apocalypse to your stomach lining.
Tony KitchAugust 29, 2010Great place for parties...food is ok....but well worth the money for the drinks and a private room for karaoke!
Chaniya SDecember 27, 2016Sketchy place. Place wasn't crowded and took forever to get a drink menu. Drink prices are for liquor only, they charge extra for the mixer, which is really misleading. And double check your receipt.
I spent most of 2007 at this Karaoke den, swillin sake bombs and singing myself hoarse to Mr Roboto and The Pixies. All-you-can-drink beer + sake + karaoke $25/person for two hours
Unlimited alcohol, songs, private room, some sushi...did I die and go to heaven?!?!
Aron FeingoldFebruary 17, 2012You can't hear the mics at this place so if you actually want to hear what people are singing go somewhere else. When you ask them to turn it up they don't know what to do.
best karaoke in manhattan - go right after work for their half price house wine and beer happy hour
Get there before 7pm. Half price drinks and pitchers of beer.
Lori GishJuly 4, 2017Someone in the bar stole my credit card data and sold it. July 1 2017. Don't go there
Anthony PopeoApril 5, 2016Overpriced, small rooms. Don't bother—plenty of better locations a couple blocks south.
Josh WhelchelMarch 30, 2009Go get splintered - order sushi - sing songs that you shouldn't - have a sushi-fight (or not) - and try not to break stuff
Sugeiry RodriguezJanuary 29, 2012Horrible place!!! The staff in this location is horrible and very unprofessional. Went here with a large party and will never go back.
- Bill Van PeltMay 24, 2010I would keep walking to 32nd to Chorus karoke. Music selection wasn't that good (didn't have "I'm on a boat" :-( ) and had a poor atmosphere.
