    If 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.

    Get a private room and karaoke to your heart's content. The price of scotch is really reasonable!

    Love 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.

    Private 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.

    Party 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.

    I love that they let you get your own drinks at the bar even if you are in a private room.

    They certainly have some next lvl karaoke rooms. Open karaoke at the bar is great too! $1/song

    Japanese restaurant during lunch, karaoke bar at night. The lunch specials are worth coming here for.

    Fun place for karaoke. Good space at main bar and the rooms are also quite good!

    Come 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

    The Fugees' Killing Me Softly is a free drink winning song on Tues nights.

    Awesome 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.

    Great place for parties...food is ok....but well worth the money for the drinks and a private room for karaoke!

    Sketchy 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

    You 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.

    Overpriced, small rooms. Don't bother—plenty of better locations a couple blocks south.

    No Beastie Boys or 'Only the Good Die Young'! That's like sacrilegious.

    Go get splintered - order sushi - sing songs that you shouldn't - have a sushi-fight (or not) - and try not to break stuff

    I 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.
