Very good experience, very friendly. The people are nice and there are a lot of songs

Big room, very fun!!!! Good lights, there's a fan, much nicer than the tiny rooms I'm used to in nyc haha

Came here with a group of friends and had a great time. The private rooms are clean and the sound system actually hits, which makes a big difference. They have a solid drink selection to keep the night going and the staff was attentive without being intrusive. Booking was straightforward and the pricing felt fair for what you get. If you're looking for a fun night out with a group, this is the spot!

So much fun with amazing vibes and a super friendly owner Had an amazing time at EMA Karaoke & Bar! They serve Korean food and soju, which already sets the mood right. The owner is incredibly nice and fun, and really makes the place special. If you're planning a birthday celebration, this is a great spot. They even served a cute Choco Pie cake. They even give you a tiara to wear like a birthday queen, which is such a fun and thoughtful touch. We started in a small private room and had a blast, then moved out to the outside tables to keep hanging out. The vibes just kept getting better-- the owner started singing in the open area, taking song requests from customers, and creating such a lively, welcoming atmosphere. You can choose between Korean karaoke or YouTube karaoke, so you can basically sing anything you want. Great energy, great people, and nonstop fun. Definitely a place I'd come back to again!

I visited this karaoke spot recently and I wasn't disappointed. Firstly, the atmosphere immediately feels calm. It wasn't as busy for a Friday but I enjoyed the soft surrounding lights. They have an open karaoke along with a few bar chairs and tables. My best friend and I rented out a room and they did have a few internet difficulties at first but overall, they gave us extra time to complete our hours we paid. The drinks were pretty tasty along with their food. The lemon drop was delicious that I had to go back for another . The service is quick and the women are very friendly. Heather was very kind and attentive. I definitely recommend this karaoke place to anyone who's looking for a fun night.

The staff are very kind and the karaoke rooms are very spacious. I went with my friends as a party of 10. It's very easy and comfortable to sing. The karaoke is played on YouTube so you can definitely find your song x).

Came to get drinks at the bar while waiting for a seat a few doors down...and we loved the ladies so much we came back after dinner! MJ and Minji totally made our visit! They were both so nice, funny, and a great time to be around! We didn't karoake, but just sat at the bar and drink and made friends with others there as well. Good vibes all around!

Great after party spot, great vibes and lots of song selection! They even have late night munchie.

Amazing experience! It was my first time doing karaoke and the same for a lot of people on the group as well. And we gad a great time here. What stood out to me is the service! They were incredibly communicative and accommodative right from when I called them first and helped me book and adjust by time slot for a Friday, and guiding me through how much time would be good for a group of 10. A few in our group reached a bit late so we were charged accordingly, and also got an extra 30 minutes given to us because of the same with constant communication while we were there. I missed getting the name of our main host. She was great, incredibly friendly. It was also a bachelor party for one of my friends so they arranged a 'groom to be' sash for us! The Karaoke experience itself was great. It was a YouTube room with multiple speakers and two mic's which we passed around. Maybe another mic or two would have been useful. Lighting and feel/vibe of the private room was pretty nice. Drinks were great. On the outset they may look expensive but the portions were pretty good and they were pretty concentrated (in terms of the cocktails). Some of the drinks we had were the Lemon drop, the Moscow mule, and the Terra beer. Food - Onion rings and the fries (free with a review!) were pretty well made and not too oily. The nachos were fine. We couldn't finish the food since we were there only for two hours and the nachos came a bit late. Parking tip - remove the buckets and park wherever it says Ema Karaoke. There's also parking just before you enter the complex where Ema karaoke is, a little bit before just parallel to this complex. This is what they told us and some of the group parked there. Didn't happen to click any food pictures. :( I expect to be back soon and reserve for longer next time.

This place is great. The service is so fast and amazing. Our hostess was so attentive and helpful. It was two of our cousins birthday and they even decorated the room and had little cakes. We had around 20 people and we fit in the room comfortably. There's a fan in the room that cooled all the people down but it was still a little hot. Aside from that the place is amazing and a great time. Serving sizes for the food is a bit small and a bit on the higher side on prizes but it paired well with the alcohol. They had a contactless menu for everyone to see what they had!

Lots of fun, great place to come with friends for a fun night singing! Staff is very friendly and lots of food and drink options.

They have 2 options to select music: YouTube and the old school book method. Essentially you can sing to anything! They also have a bar with a wide selection of drinks and food. Rooms are also clean, bathrooms are always tidy. Each room has 2 mics and a fan so it's not too hot! Music quality is great, adjustable to your liking!

I went here for my birthday outing with friends. The ambiance is fun and lively with the lights. It can get hot in some rooms if there's too many people because there's not an air conditioner or fan in some rooms. Food and service were quick, tasty and affordable. No reservations required. Decent selection of drinks. The staff were very nice and fast in getting us into a room, fed, and drinking. They use YouTube for karaoke, so expect ads unless you're willing to log into your YouTube premium account and log out after your karaoke session like I did. They give you an extra five minutes after the hour session because they build in the ads for singing. read more

Great service from start to finish! The ladies here are super friendly and chill, which made the whole karaoke experience even more fun. The drinks were great, and the vibes were amazing--perfect spot to sing your heart out with friends. 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! read more

Had a fun karaoke night for a friend's birthday! It seemed like all the rooms were filled since it was Friday ~9:30pm. Parking lot is really busy by 9pm. I had arrived earlier and found parking but then lots of cars were circling around after waiting for a spot to open since it's by Ondam. Snacks came out fresh, hot, and crispy (french fries, onion rings). The room was clean with a large table and seating all around. My friend made a reservation so they had us wait in the main area until the room was ready. There was a happy birthday balloon sign up against the wall which was really cute. It was a fun night and we sang until 12:30am! There's always a wide range of song selection for everyone since you can use YouTube for karaoke. read more

I booked the birthday room recently. I paid for the birthday room, they prefer the deposit in person so they can show you the room and everything. So personable, friendly, parking was easy, set up is great for anyone that knows how to work a simple tablet. I am so surprised more people don't have their parties here. My party was 15, i would come here if a had 5 to 20 people for a small gathering. I haven't stopped talking about the way this place was set up. We booked for 3 hours and that was the perfect amount. read more

My husband and I have been here a handful of times either just the two of us or with a larger group. We've never rented a private karaoke room but we've enjoyed the community area for both awesome and not so great karaoke singers. It normally doesn't get busy until 10pm or after. If you're just coming to enjoy food and drink, I'd recommend coming around 7-9pm before it gets packed. Food: we've enjoyed the fried chicken, fried rice, spicy marinated pork, seafood pancake, and dumpling soup. All dishes were quite delicious but our favorites have got to he the spicy pork and dumpling soup. Prices are a bit on the higher side but it is a lounge/bar so it's expected. They have your typical Korean soju and beer but they also have a variety of liquor for your enjoyment. They have a gentleman with a really good voice singing and he does take requests for $5 a song (I believe). Overall, this is a fun place to hang out! Workers are friendly and they open late! read more

EMA is the best place for open and private room karaoke in the South Bay. Every Friday and Saturday night you will find yourselves cheering for and singing with strangers in this special venue where everyone is a friend. Places like these are so rare and help people feel welcome and part of a community. Tips: Minji is a great hostess and makes you feel right at home with her positive energy and great vibes. Bring cash to tip the resident in house pianist who will play your song for you as you sing. It's like you have a bandmate standing behind you all the time! Enjoy your time read more

Private karaoke rooms for a reasonable price. They gave us 2 mics for 4 people for $40. Very sanitary and can use YouTube (no Premium, so you do have to watch ads) instead of the old-style selection.

Grilled Octopus was excellent as always, my favorite dishes here. Lamb Osso Bucco was served with orzo rice, peas, morels. Lamb was tender and well-seasoned. Tamarind Glazed Salmon served with kale and red quinoa. The salmon itself was good, but I don't think the quinoa was a good match with the dish. The flatbread was the most disliked item we had. It was a bit bland and too doughy. We enjoyed the Peyrassol Rosé (France 2025), which was not only nice to see but also nice to drink. Love the smooth texture and taste.

Service was lacking professionalism and timeliness Came to celebrate a birthday dinner and we were immediately disappointed by the service team - couldn't find the reservation (made a month in advance) - sat us without menus - when they did bring menus, they only had 2 for a party of 6... Food was overall good but the server oversold everything. The taste and balance was decent but pricing was 100% unjustified. Review of our table's order - excluding the obvious lack of value and weird plating choices: - mezze dips: skip. rip off. - cauliflower: maybe the best dish of the meal - octopus: sauce was unnecessary and portion size was terrible - caesar salad: not good - lamb shank: tender but the sides were trash - branzino: parts tasted not fully cooked. - lamb chops: DRY. Hammered the protein and drenched in oil...? Do not get. - chicken: large portion and maybe the best bang for buck when feeding large parties. it was ok. No wonder they closed shortly after. I get the high rent given Santana Row pricing but do a little better when hiring service staff.

Service was great too - our waitress had solid recommendations and helped guide us toward a good mix of dishes (especially when it came to estimating portion sizes vs number of people in our party).

There were plenty of open seats, yet somehow one person managed to occupy an entire table meant for our party of six while staff looked on as if this was an unsolvable diplomatic crisis.

(However, people watching is so much fun when sitting outside!) Cosme was our fabulous server who shared the daily specials with us. I asked him which I should choose, the Ahi Tuna BLT, $26, or the Nicoise Salad, $31. He recommended the BLT! Two friends decided to share the Wester Ross Scottish Salmon, $36, and our other friend ordered her favorite Nicoise salad, $31. My Ahi Tuna BLT was a sight to behold! This sourdough sandwich was crunchy on the outside and multi-layered with sliced ahi tuna, bacon, avocado, tomato, butter lettuce and a horseradish aioli, on the inside, and served with a side of thin and crispy French fries! The portion size was so big that I could only eat half the sandwich! I really like bang-for-my-buck, and I definitely got it with this entree! The fries were perfection, salty and crispy! My friend who always ordered the Nicoise salad when she dines here, totally cleaned her plate. This salad was another showstopper. It was almost too pretty to eat! The two friends who shared the salmon entree were not as impressed. They both thought the salmon was a tad dry when Cosme explained it should be served medium. One friend thought the cauliflower puree base helped to compensate a little for the dryness of the salmon, but the other friend chose to share her displeasure with Cosme, who apologized, then relayed the message to the chef. Shortly after, Cosme offered to have another salmon cooked, which my friends agreed to. Then Left Bank's general manager, Jessica, came over to ask how we were enjoying our meal. Jessica kindly heard their comments regarding the salmon (and the price for a small serving...no bang-for-your-buck with the salmon...) and offered to have another salmon served up for them. (We told her that Cosme had already arranged for that.) She assured she would inspect the next serving before it was presented. It came out looking even more beautiful and enticing then the first plating, and happily the cook and texture was perfect the second time around! I was surprised with a birthday plate of ice cream decorated with raspberries, a chocolate leaf, and yummy crushed wafers, compliments of Jessica. Thank you, Jessica, Cosme, and your staff for your epic customer service. We will definitely return again soon! I also used my InKind app to pay for my meal. I was able to redeem my InKind reward to pay a portion of my lunch!

I thought some dishes were great; the wagyu burger was decadent. Other dishes were not that special. The scallops didn't taste too fresh (likely frozen) and combining them with hummus didn't quite work. The side of bread was practically insulting. $5 for stale table bread was a surprise. Dishes arrived very late; we were nearly forgotten when we tried to order, and then after ordering, we waited 40 minutes between appetizers and the main course. Not because they were cooking it; they just forgot we were there and when they brought out the dishes, the scallops were no longer just-cooked, and the burger had been sitting for a bit. No apology, just an acknowledgment it was late, and no discount (not even on the stale bread). They offered us wine, we said we didn't drink, and they just moved on. I debated a lot about how to review this. It's my personal experience that was disappointing, and I'm glad some reviews are very upbeat.

The music was really loud and I couldn't hear the conversation of the person with me so the Asian bartender helped us turn down the music a little. It wasn't until mid evening that I realized there was another bar in the back. The bartender told us the cocktails at Alter Ego were more fancy. Definitely instagramworthy! Tried two of the cocktails at Alter Ego. Overall, both have different vibes. Alter Ego is good for a more intimate dark setting date vibe. Service was pretty good at Still OG! The Asian bartender checked in several times and was really nice as well as provided some recommendations on which happy hour specials were most popular which helps since I'm indecisive. The back does seem like a more classy environment and I'd choose this setting over a dive bar any day. The music at still OG that they were playing at the time wasn't my cup of tea, but I'm sure they mix it up from time to time. I would love to hear some oldies!

All cocktails are on tap, which actually ended up being great because I was between a few of them and the bartender was able to give me samples of them. We also ended up getting an order of the Chicken skewers, which were super tender and juicy.

Parking is what you'd expect for downtown - either paid street parking or a nearby garage. The atmosphere is stylish and upscale, making it a great spot for a special night out.

The mussels were definitely the standout - the sauce was so flavorful and unforgettable that we were tempted to ask for extra bread just to soak it all up. We also really enjoyed the cocktails.

Drinks/cocktails were tasty and I generally liked all the drinks I tried They got two weird rules: 1) Everything must be ordered at the same time so that they can coursify your meal. Not a huge deal I guess but we wanted to order apps first since we were hungry and then take our time to do the entrees 2) if someone wants to do the prefixe meal, EVERYONE has to do it as well ‍... Kinda a pain and I personally don't feel it makes much sense as I wanted something not on the pre fixe menu Food: Bruschetta - so tasty. It's a flavor bomb with the cheese, honey, and mortadella. Def recommend Kofta- not bad. I dunno if the meatballs really went that well with the hummus as it's kind of a dryer dip but I get what they were trying to do. The bruschetta was much better imo Crudo- solid crudo. I've had better quality fish but it still fairly good. Nice dish if you don't want something too heavy and want a lil citrus Scallops- really good but really pricey. Is 2 for $24 . Loved the way it was prepped tho and the wasabi cream sauce. Oysters- also good but also pricey @ $4/oyster. If you hafta make a choice I liked the scallops better Octopus: cooked perfectly. Loved the sauces and flavors as well. This was a big hit at the table Chicken: nice grilled taste but ultimately overcooked and dry. Flavor was ok. Prob wouldn't get again nor recommend Ny strip: solid steak with nice char texture and flavors. Nothin crazy crazy but way better than the chicken Ocean trout: imo the best entree of the night. It was cooked perfectly and the skin had a perfect crisp/flakiness Lobster tagliatelle: pretty meh. I think the sauce on the pasta was a bit bland. There also was barely any lobster. I'd skip this Lemon pie: the best dessert. It sounds basic AF but it's really a deconstructed lemon pie using lemon meringue on top. Def creative and tasty. Loukoumades: despite being recommended we prob felt this was the least fav dessert. The dough balls were a bit stale instead of nice soft and fluffy Chocolate sundae: reminded me of a chocolate mojito. It was not bad and the mint created another dimension to the desert but ultimately just way too much chocolate. I think it could be better if there were scoops of different flavors instead of all choc Overall, most of the dishes were great and we generally had a good experience. Some dishes were meh but def felt the majority were winners. Wouldn't mind coming back for a special occasion or nice dinner again when the menu is refreshed

Ema... what can i say. She is the one I will miss most. I used to see her standing there in the corner near the bakery. Every night when I drove by, her eyes twinkled in the moonlight. For many years it was like that, just a passing glance as she stood there beckoning me to draw near. One night in autumn my heart fluttered. The rain kept pouring, like a thousand cherubs pissing down from the heavens. From then until now, she had been and will always be the who taught me what it meant to have family. Even now she welcomes me with warmth and understanding. When i was hungry, she fed me. When i was thirsty, she offered me drink. She laughed at my dirty jokes and looked away when my eyes began to sweat when reminded of past memories. I will always hold dear the sounds of her heart--- deft fingers serenading with trumpet and deep chocolate whiskey soaked vocals. She always spoke such soft serenities, her mysteries opening and revealing itself to me in soft, subtle, meaningful gestures... When I realised how much she loved and cared for me, this is when I knew it was time to leave her. "She is too good for you..." And she is... Thank you Ema... I have never known what it meant to have a family until i met you. I'll cherish the memories you have given me. This fall when I sleep beneath the shade of grass, my last thoughts will be of you. read more

What a nice rooms and friendly staff. It was totally different experience from what I used to in east coast. Welcome to California! Just about every food on the menu seemed delicious. We had Unagi Kabayaki (eel braised w special Japanese sauce) and Tempura. They were done in authentic Japanese style. Drinks were relatively low price and Korean Soju were lip-smacking experience. I cannot thank Jenny enough for the west coast hospitality. Sound system were so good, it made my wife sounded just like Adele.

EMA Karaoke & Bar in San Jose is a vibrant spot for a night out, offering both an open bar area and individual rooms for rent. The karaoke experience here is a blast, with a diverse selection of songs to choose from. However, if you're expecting gourmet cuisine, you may find the food to be just average. As the night progresses, the bar tends to get crowded after 9 pm, so it's best to arrive early to secure your spot. Despite the crowds, the energy is infectious, adding to the overall excitement. read more

I had an incredible experience at this Korean karaoke place, and Haesoo was a standout server! Her attentiveness and friendly demeanor elevated our night. The diverse song selection, vibrant atmosphere, and Haesoo's exceptional service make it a must-visit. Five stars! :) read more

This is the most memorable moment for me who miss a Korean culture that I miss at the most and that I want to introduce with American people who I rely on here in the foreign country as an immigrant. Thank you so much EMA and I'll not forget this memory tonight. read more

Amazing atmosphere with great ambient lights and music. Definitely the best place for karaoke! The staff is extremely helpful and very nice, especially Haeso. Haeso definitely made the first time experience enjoyable with her fun demeanor! read more
