    Kim chee fried rice
    Lizel M.

    We came here for karaoke and arrived early to reserve a room. With just three of us, they were able to accommodate us easily. The deal was to spend $150 on food and drinks, plus $2 per song for karaoke. I appreciated that the bathrooms were clean, which is always a nice touch. The food was great, and we ordered a lot of soju--but as a light drinker, I didn't feel the effects, which made me think it might have been watered down. Other than that, it's always a fun experience with karaoke, and I really enjoy Korean food!

    New menu! 8/17/25 same same but different! Love the options for cocktail sojus and i love their famous DB CHICKEN & CHIVE PANCAKE + more!

    Came here many years ago, still the same layout today. However, their food remains SOLID! Sooo good you guys!! We had a Karaoke room and it's $2 per song... it used to be $1 when I first came here. ( blame inflation am I right? lol ) No designated parking stalls but lots of street parking all around the block. Service was great. We came tonight, Monday evening at around 9pm. Our microphone was having a little problem but got fixed. Melona soju was yum! It matches very well with the dishes we ordered.

    Parking is horrendous down here, be careful where you park because it'll be private property, blocked off , coned off etc and you'll get towed. There were only two or three staff members and all unfortunately they had bad attitudes except for the bar tender. There's a bathroom located in the back, music playing out loud and karaoke. I suggest going earlier if you wanna beat the crowds. It was difficult to have a conversation here because we couldn't hear each other without yelling. The soju is bomb! We got 3 to 4 different flavors and everything we ordered off the menu was killer tasty.

    We had a group of friends that went to Cafe Duck Butt's located in town. I've been here before but it was years ago. I forgot how it looked. First, the karaoke equipment is way out dated. The lyrics don't match the words. My $100 Amazon karaoke kit works way better and it's easy to use. Second, the rooms are old, small and dirty. Needs to be updated or maybe even put some decorations up. I understand it's a hole in the wall place but at least spend money to update EVERYTHING. Customers are spending a lot of money for rooms to rent out. Third, we booked our room from 8-11. The waitress came in 10 minutes prior and told us we needed to wrap it up because they had another party coming in at 11 on the dot. That's fine for us because we aren't cleaning anything but I would suggest they have breaks in between each party! Instead of doing back to back parties. We had so much food and drinks on the table. I'm pretty sure they didn't do a good cleaning. Because when we got in our room it felt dirty and smelled. Forth, DO NOT waste your money on the Soju. You will leave a diabetic or rotten teeth. It was all sugar and watered down! Not a fan! The worst thing about the drinks is the bar ran out of glass cups apparently. So we were given shot glasses. How the heck did a bar run out of glasses?! Can't say too much about the food, I wasn't a fan at all. I can say the waitresses and bartenders were great. There was one that had an attitude and didn't seem too happy but she was easily replaced by a great waitress. The rude waitress came in our room maybe 3 times in 3 hours. We had to keep going out to the bar area for drinks. Honestly, not sure we will ever be visiting again.

    Kimchi fried rice and Mochiko Chicken
    Annie N.

    Wow, what a fun discovery for soju & korean beer food. We ordered Kimchi fried rice, Mochiko Chicken, kimchi with tofu, and strawberry soju. We originally were in the area to check out another cocktail spot, but after finding out they were closed for a private event, a local told us about Cafe Duck Butt being a cool spot nearby to go to instead. We're really happy we ended up here. The food was great, soju was tasty and came in a large jug with shot glasses, and the music was loud. There was a good variety of soju flavors to choose from. There were a couple of private rooms for parties to have private karaoke in, and we were in the main dining room with the bar and main floor tables. We're happy we came and would recommend this place to anyone who's a fan of soju and Korean food.

    Calamari - it was kind of tough
    Lynn O.

    I came here on a whim. My buddy suggested it. The parking was scarce. But there was one available in the back of the building. The walkway to get there is uneven and the concrete is breaking up. Watch your step. We were seated quickly. The server was friendly and attentive. I got a couple beers and the calamari. The calamari was a bit tough for my liking but we ate it anyway. When it was time to check out, I was given a pen that fell apart and leaked all over my hands. The waitress brought a wet napkin and assisted me with wiping my hands. Overall, the service was great. But I don't particularly like the parking situation and the food, even though I only tried one dish. I probably won't be back.

    Kalbi Tacos (3)
    Ciara W.

    I love the food here! The Korean fried chicken is sooo good. I tried the garlic soy chicken and the flavor and texture was so yummy. The chicken was crunchy and moist all at the same time! Next time I am going to try the gochujang fried chicken. My mom makes this for me at home, so sometimes I am hesitant to try it at restaurants. But their garlic soy fried chicken was just so yummy so I am definitely going to try the gochujang next time! The Korean tacos were also out of this world. They were huge and super flavorful with the pork and kimchi with salad. How innovative to make Korean tacos! I had never had anything like this before back home on the mainland. I will order the Korean tacos again, for sure. This place also has karaoke rooms which is super cool. The service is also super cool and friendly. They can all help you pick something delicious on the menu to try if you have never been here before. I would definitely bring family and friends here for good times and good food.

    Only made for an older version of android? You cannot be serious. Why even use this system then?
    Ashlyn C.

    Let's start with the one good thing. The food. Thankfully, Duck Butt's food is still amazing. Literally the only thing worth going here for. 5 stars. Ambiance is still the same. It's a dive bar with karaoke. Their karaoke system has changed & definitely not for the better. We spent a few minutes trying to figure out how to select songs with no success. My boyfriend had to go out & ask one of the waitresses what to do. To which she replied as if we should've known, "There's a QR code outside..." Would've been nice if that was mentioned when we were being showed to the room. I scan the code & am unable to download the SongBook Master because, get this, the app Duck Butt uses isn't available because my android is too new. It is new (sort of). It's an S23 Ultra. But I have recently been to other karaoke establishments that also require you to use a QR code to access their karaoke system & my newer version of Android worked just fine. Anyway. The Service. If I could give negative stars, I would. I walk in & let them know we have a reservation. One of the girls asks my boyfriend & I if we'd like to sit at the bar while we wait for the rest of our party to come because the room is really cold. So we did. The bartender didn't seem to like that though because this girl had quite the attitude. If you don't want people sitting at the bar, why are you even working here? Mind you, Duck Butt was dead. 1 table seated & 1 other dude at the bar. And now my bf & I. That's it. Fast forward to our time in the karaoke room. We were in the room for about 5 hours & were constantly ordering food & drinks. To give you an idea of how much we were ordering, our bill was well over $400. 80% of the time, we had to go out & order our drinks. I counted 4 times that a waitress came in to actually check on us. Otherwise all they did was drop off the drinks that we had to go out to the bar & order. The last drink my boyfriend ordered, he had to go out & ask for 3 times because they were too busy tending to an emty bar. Idk if Duck Butt is going to close down soon so they don't give 2 shits, or if they just have the world's worst bartender/waitresses, but if it's the latter & they're not shutting down, they need to find people that actually care about working there. Don't accept people's reservations if you don't want them to come to your establishment. On top of the terrible service, they charged us 20% tip on the taxed total of our bill, not the subtotal. Let's be clear. It wasn't a suggested tip. They had already added it onto our bill. You're not supposed to charge people tip on taxes. I would honestly never come back here unless friends of mine insist they want to go to Duck Butt. Even then, I would try to convince them to go elsewhere. The service is that terrible.

    Mochiko chicken, kimchee jun, shrimp tempura, ginger soy chicken wings, & sweet potato tempura.
    Vanessa Z.

    I haven't been here in over 8 years! I brought my bf to try it out for the 1st time. We looked up menu on Google and their pupu menu was $5 per item. It said their happy hour was till 8pm. When we got here there was no $5 pupu happy hour, so that was disappointing. I guess the menu on google was outdated. BUT the food was yummy!!! We had the kimchee jun, mochiko chicken, shrimp tempura, sweet potato tempura, & soy garlic chicken wings. It was not very packed, food cane out fast and service was good!

A hidden secret…read more Our plans for private karaoke room at our usual spot was filled so this is the reason we are here at Cafe Den Mau. I've been here twice and my opinion it was fun but very interesting place. Recommended by my older brother who frequents Cafe Den Mau often. Located at the Yee Hop Plaza on North King Street, same building as Hawaii Dim Sum & Seafood, (after our dinner there) we went straight up to the 2nd floor. Note getting to Cafe Den Mau is a little sketchy, scary in the building but once you arrive its not as bad after all. hehe. You will enter a long corridor, the 2nd floor looks abandoned, old, but there are other businesses in this plaza. The size of Cafe Den Mau is small but perfect, there are a few tables, even a stage with disco lights, drums, and piano. Kind of like in Vietnam although I haven't been but this is what I heard from another customer. husband Jimmy and wife team runs the karaoke spot from 9-2 am nightly. ( best to call if you plan to visit, have questions, or would like to reserve a table or private party.) limited drinks, mostly beer and wine are available, free to bring wine with a fee. ( $20.-30) per bottle. We brought 3 bottles during my first visit with my siblings. You can also bring pupus. Selecting songs are easy, all digital. All songs are available, both our visits, seems like we all were happy with selecting our song choices. We all enjoyed ourselves, first time experience. We even went up to the stage to sing, dance and receiving fake colorful flowers with $1.tip. Fyi, If you do receive flowers with tip, that will belong to the owners. It goes back in the bucket for the owners. hehe. We visited the 2nd time with friends ( 2 Fridays in a row) the same impression, getting to the Karaoke spot, seeing the impression on their faces ( sketchy) but they actually had a great time singing, hanging out, observing the other party that was there. We bought 4 bottles of beer this time, didn't BYOB but I brought chips, dips and some desserts to snack on. The Heineken were $6. and Corona were $8. All in all, first time visiting a Vietnamese Karaoke bar and we will def. be back! Parking available in the back of building's private lot, after hours no need to pay the meter or street parking I know you wouldn't want to park on the street due to the homeless situation at Chinatown.

I can never pass up on some mandoo and oden, even if I've come straight from dinner. The private karaoke rooms are also very nice. Great sound systems. The machines are Korean so good luck if you don't speak/read Korean, but it's not too hard to figure out. The only thing I don't like is that the mics are wired, and it's kind of a hassle to have the wires running across the room, especially when people are trying to go in and out when heading to the bathroom or mingling in the lounge area. But the reasonable hourly prices make any shortcomings totally worth it. Highly recommend this place for a spur of the moment night out, or a pre-planned shebang for a large group.
