From the moment we got in, the vibes were great and the energy was perfect for a fun night out. One of the coolest parts was that they even have a small stage platform with a golden standing microphone, which made everything feel like a mini concert. It definitely leveled up the whole karaoke experience and got everyone hyped to perform. Huge shoutout to Jay, who took amazing care of us throughout the night. Super attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The service was top-tier and made us feel really welcomed. Overall, we had an amazing time and would 100% come back. If you're looking for a fun karaoke spot in San Jose with great service and a lively atmosphere, Genting Karaoke is it!

The space is super clean and feels new, and the staff are incredibly friendly. My cousin accidentally booked the wrong date, but the owner was so accommodating and still managed to fit us in right away! I really appreciated that level of service. They let you bring your own food and drinks and even provide ice and cups, which really sets them apart from other places. The karaoke system is great too, everything runs off YouTube, so the song selection is endless. Highly recommend this spot, and I'll definitely be back!

To get in we had to call a number on the front door, which was barred. It was kind of unsettling but I guess there is some crime in the area. There was not much ventilation in the karaoke room. At minimum they should make it a bit cleaner and welcoming inside, update the equipment- maybe have a more professional karaoke set up beyond what people could do at their homes (play youtube on their TV), and maybe make it look a little less shady on the outside somehow.

A special shoutout to our waitress, Haesoo--she was so accommodating and funny, and really made our night. They set up our karaoke room super quickly even though we booked last minute, and even had banners ready for the birthday boy, which was such a thoughtful touch. She also recommended a wine that we ended up loving! Overall, such a fun and memorable night--definitely one of my favorite karaoke spots. I'll 100% be back!

To get the positive notes out of the way, there were no issues with customer service, the room was…read moreclean, and the sound system worked well. If you made a reservation for like 7 p.m. and you check in at 7:10, they will start the clock at 7:10 (this is good -- I've been to places that would start the clock at 7). Other than that, I was underwhelmed by the karaoke system. First, the system tablet is mounted on a wall in a corner of the room, so you have to walk over to search. A tablet that can be handed around would offer a better experience. Their karaoke system is confusing. I tried searching "Ariana" (Ariana Grande) and nothing turned up, but I was able to find her eventually under one of the lists of artists (and this issue repeated for multiple artists). We all struggled to find songs. If you want to sing Japanese songs, you need to search it in Japanese as the system is case-specific and will not turn up searches using English romanization. This would have been fine for us in theory since almost everyone in our group knew Japanese, but the same aforementioned issues with searching were still present regardless of language. Someone in our group had experienced this system before and helped us navigate it, but I don't think a good karaoke system should be so user-unfriendly. There's a QR code you can scan to browse the system on your phone, but there's a mismatch between songs available through the QR code link and what the system actually has, so some songs that we added through the link actually did not exist in the system. It's unfortunately that the song search was so bad, because the system did have a large Japanese song selection, including recent hits. They have YouTube, but unlike other karaoke places with YouTube there's no way to queue songs, so you have to wait until a song is done to search and play a new song. Because of lack of ability to queue, we resigned ourselves to using the funky system since that could at least accommodate queuing. We were charged a 15% service fee in addition to the room fee and tax. I have seen past reviews report different percentage rates for the service fee, so I wasn't sure what to expect. They write down the service fee percentage on a slip of paper when checking you in, so it seems the percentage might not be standardized. Right before filling out the slip, the person at the front asked if we would be consuming food in the room, and we said no, but we did have bags of takeout leftovers that we weren't going to eat while in the room. I think you can have a good experience here if you are OK with spending a lot of time dealing with the system.

There was plenty of counter space for me to bring all the catered food I ordered and I love how they set up the room for the birthday free of charge. It was a really nice touch.

I came here on a sunday night before Christmas. The downtown area is pretty busy. Typical weekend…read morewith no parking and plenty of people on the street. Their website says they close at 10pm. I got there at around 7:30pm and wasn't able to place my order until 7:44pm. The waitress might be new, but she had to get the e-menu to know what flavor of shakes they offered (3, choc, vanilla, and strawberry). I was initially seated at a table and then moved to the bar. I ordered a calzone and shake for here and a pizza to go. Then they started cleaning up. I could have taken everything to go, but the communication was so bad. IF they wanted to close up, they should really not leave a customer hanging and waiting. Apparently both the calzones and pizzas were packed to go without any communication. And also apparently, bone were the calzones and pizzas were ready for 30 minutes and the waitress was just busy closing up (then give me my order) so u can close up. I live 4 miles away and by the time I got home, everything was cold. So I couldn't tell you how the food was except that it was cold. Cold pizza is a zero star for me. Then when it came to pay, no one knew what INKIND (really annoying app, avoid at all cost) was. I asked for the check number and they're like what, " just tap your credit card." I had to insist on getting the check number to pay through the app. Even after I paid, the manager wouldn't let me go. He kept holding the pos checkout thing and saying, if the order hasn't gone away, then you haven't paid, you need to tap. I said, you need to refresh. And when he refreshed, my check disappeared (duh) because it's been paid for and he still insisted that I haven't paid. So he goes to the actual terminal and effin stares at the screen for another 10minutes wondering why a paid check disappeared from his queque. I showed him on the app and offered to show him through email that it's been paid. He was just possessed and kept staring that pos terminal. and then he's like, I'll just take your word for it. How offensive, like I'm going to try to lie. I showed you on so many avenues that the check was paid and closed (your actual pos terminal, my app, my email receipt, etc.) Anyway, this place looks like it's going to close soon the way it was like a ghost bar on a sunday night.

I'd say the large room is the most claustrophobic, because it involves two rows of couches with a narrow table in between for the refreshments (outside food and beverage are permitted). If you're trying to get out of the room to take a call or go to the restroom, it's rather awkward. If you're trying to look at the tablet to queue songs, it's rather awkward. However, this is probably the room I'd book the most since it fits the most people without being obscenely expensive (the SVIP room is huge, it even has a dance floor!). The workers are nice, the cleaning fee is rather tall at around $50 for the large room. You can request a water container with ice to be sent to your room! Service is nice, the selection of alcohol here is limited to beers and a handful of cocktails so I would definitely recommend doing a run prior to attending.

It was hard finding a machine where I actually wanted the plush or figurine. They also had 6 different machines just dedicated to kuromi, which is great and all but there just wasn't much variety. Hopefully they update their selection and add more skill based machines.

They got what felt like a lot of "hand me downs". This location has geared more towards redemption games like crane, claw, and ticketed games. There isn't an emphasis on traditional video game cabinets anymore. I do love that there is an emphasis on improving food options. I remember they used to have the most basic of foods. My favorite is the $1 scoops of ice cream! I do hope that the escalators get fixed eventually so that they can run consistently.
