I've been to this location 3 different times. First thing i want to say is the entry here can be deceiving and the elevator to go up is old and small. But once upstairs it's so nice. The first time i came here, my cousin rented a room for karaoke for her bday and we brought bottles and ate before coming. It was about 8 of us. It's very affordable and we even got some more drinks in the lobby after. The second time my friend wanted to come for her birthday we had a much smaller room as it was only 5 of us. Same good experience your rent per person per hour and it's very affordable. The last time i came was for my bachelorette party. I didn't want the traditional vibes i wanted a night out with the girls and my cousin booked a party bus and time here. We got a huge room upstairs as it was more than 12 of us and we had a great time singing 80-90s and early 2000s music esp boy bands which are my favorite. The staff here is nice and friendly and everything is very clean except the restroom. Restroom is small and a bit dingy, def needs an upgrade but otherwise, clean. I would def come back for a girls night out or celebration. It's my fave karaoke location for sure read more

Came to celebrate a friend's birthday and had an amazing time surrounded by incredible people. The location was easy to find. Small elevator that can only accommodate five people at a time. The staff was very pleasant and we got there early and sat in the room. The room was FREEZING. We were told beforehand about the temperature and to our knowledge there was no way to fix it. Had to deduct a star however when everyone came we warmed up of course. The song selection was vast. The tambourines were a nice touch. We had an amazing time. It's bring your food and bottles. Garbage areas everywhere and they provided a bucket of ice. Room large enough to fit over 20 people and coat racks available. There's a nice service area inside that has utensils at no extra cost. Soft drinks and wine sold on site. CASH ONLY read more

Planned a little going away party for a coworker. They enjoy Karaoke and Gagopa was perfect. Make reservations. I made reservations 1 month in advance for a Saturday night session. Super easy to do online. It's BYO Beer, Food, Drinks, Cakes, etc. they have plastic cutlery and plats available. They also provide you with a tub of ice. It's $12 per person per hour. We had so much fun that we extended an hour and they were able to accommodate that. They also sell some beverages if you want but it's more cost friendly to bring your own. They also give a discount if you pay cash but they do accept card or cash as payment. It is located in middle of K-town. It is easy to miss and the elevator is tiny (no more than 5 people at a time) or stairs. They also card everyone to ensure you're above 21yo so don't forget your ID. read more

I came here with a group of friends for karaoke. It's bring-your-own drinks and food. The room was comfortable and large enough for around 15 of us. I thought it was a good karaoke spot! read more

Been here a couple times and it's honestly one of the best karaoke experiences. First off, is BYOB AND BYOF, brought in a ton of soju and snacks, no questions asked. The songs are a little outdated and they are missing some bangers but overall good experience. They even gave us free water bottles at the end! Would recommend for sure if you're in KTown read more

Very no frills - if karaoke is what you're here for, this is the place! It is indeed BYOB and BYOF - they do have some wine and soju for sale but you can order food and drinks delivery to your room. The rooms are cosy and there is an option to turn off the disco lights haha. We had our annual secret Santa here and it was easy to use the space/room as a meet up place too! For 8 people we spent about $200 for 2 and a half hours, we originally had 2 hours but extended an extra half hour on the spot. The 15% cash discount balances out the 20% auto grat really nicely. Would recommend but again it's super no frills. read more

Solid karaoke spot in Ktown -- gets the job done in an efficient way! We've always been able to get last minute reservations here, which is great! I've been twice and am overall pretty happy with the experience for big groups 6+ people, It's $9/person/hour which is probably among the best rates in the city, with a discount if you pay cash. Also appreciate that the spot is BYOB! There is also a gratuity automatically applied when you visit. The downside is that the karaoke technology is a bit dated and they don't always have the latest songs. You queue songs by looking up codes on your phone and typing it into their karaoke system, and it takes some time for the latest songs to get loaded. Unfortunately even some older, popular songs weren't recognized when we tied typing them in. We also weren't sure if there was the option, but it would be nice to be able to sing alongside the artist (vs just having the instrument haha), which we couldn't figure out. I would recommend two hours if you're with a big group, I've liked the spot, and it always gets the job done when you're in the mood for group karaoke! read more

Cool karoake place to checkout in NYC! The rooms are small, but they can fit a bunch of people (our group was 14 strong). They have a large selection of songs to choose from and they have a website where you can queue songs up. The rooms are well sound proofed, so you can't hear the music from the other rooms. It's also BYOB so make sure to bring your drinks and snacks beforehand. It does get a bit hot in the room, especially with a large group, so make sure to hydrate (and keep those vocal cords moist!). It would also be nice to have the option to connect via aux to play some songs that weren't on the list. We asked and they said you couldn't, although taking a look at some of the reviews here, it was possible at some point... Overall 4/5! read more

Gagopa Karaoke - Karaoke room - Karaoke Near Me - New York, New York

Song lists need some updating but you can connect your phone to play YouTube or whatever song playlist you desire!! Space itself aren't as soundproof as we were able to hear the rooms next to us clearly. Nonetheless, we had a great time in each others company. 10% off if you pay in cash. Tip not included. They have Soju bottles for sale or you can bring your own bottles??? read more

BYOB experience here was decently priced. We were able to get a room for a large group for about 2 hours. Youtube is available to look up songs you'd like. I'd say that the experience is essentially like booking an event space with karaoke included. Located conveniently in KTown, and able to make your reservations online. read more

ever since I spent my bday here, I've been dying to go back! this place is soo quick with their service. they provide cups, napkins, and even gifted me with a free bottle of champagne for my bday. absolutely love that it's BYOB! insanely good prices and a wide selection of songs to choose from. such a fun time here, and there doesn't seem to be a limit for the room, but it is pay per person per hr. read more

Gagopa Karaoke - Karaoke Near Me - New York, New York

No notes for the price and the fact that you can bring your own food and drinks. Can make this as affordable or bougie as you want. The song list wasn't the most updated song list but had all the classics and modern stuff. If you want to sing a song that came out in the last year you may be out of luck. read more

Everything about this place was great for my group. The customer service was TOP TIER. We drank a ton of soju and were given some snacks to much on while we sang our hearts out. Will be our new goto spot and space pong and galaxy golf were right nearby as well. Again I cant say enough good things about the staff here! read more

Gagopa Karaoke - Big private room on the second night during Anime nyc - Karaoke Near Me - New York, New York

Discovered they charged us 3x the normal rate ($100 per hour vs. website $36) as walk-ins and added a 20% auto-gratuity to the bill despite no service. Other reviews show we aren't the first victims. Fun kareoke place but unethical business. Unfortunately won't be returning because of this. read more

Like the other Koreatown karaoke places, it's located on a higher floor up a tiny elevator. The private rooms are not too big and it is a no frills place but this place is great for an inexpensive night out with friends. Its a BYOB place so you save on drinks. They even provide you with cups. Besides saving on alcohol, they charge only $9 per person per hour if you have a group of 4 people or less. The song selection is very good too especially if you like pop music. If you are a fan of rock music, then you will not be able to find everything. read more

First time karaoking in NYC and my friends brought me to this place! It was a little hidden and you have to go up the stairs to the second floor (2-3 flight of stairs). The private rooms could accomodate approx up to 9 people with the amount of space/seating available. You have the option of picking English vs Korean bank. The English song bank was pretty solid with a good 90% of most go-to karaoke songs. The sound isolation was also pretty decent. Mics came with the covers. Loved how they also provided 2 tambourines. Only thing is that our keyboard to input songs is pretty sensitive so we had to be very careful. They are BYOB but they also sell alcohol/water! Prices were very reasonable (if 1-3 people, $30 for 1 hour; if 4+, $9/person for 1 hour) and they let us extend 30 mins. As with many other Asian places, you get a discount if you bring cash. read more

The guy charged us $60 for a room which felt strange, given that the website states 36 per hour. He also charged us 50 and automatically added a 10 dollar tip to make the 60 which is a really questionable practice. I didnt make a big deal because I didnt want to ruin the happy spirit but I feel this guy was taking advantage of exactly that. read more

If you want to go to a cheap kareoke place to have a good time, this is the place. This place is hilarious. They programmed their calculator to function as a remote Recommend bringing cash, they give a 10% discount read more

Not much to say about this place. It's your typical old-school, book-and-remote control type karaoke spot. The sound system is decent. Unfortunately, the AC was broken in half the rooms, so we were steaming inside. However, it's very affordable and BYOB, which is a nice perk. read more

good rooms and mikes, but the karaoke is a tv hooked up to youtube... and the youtube is connected to every other tv in the place. So you cue up a song and every other room's request also shows up on your tv... besides that the rooms were nice and soundproofed read more

#1 Go To Karaoke spot in Koreatown. BYOB, affordable rooms, great service, and thoughtful management running this establishment. Many thoughtful touches. - BYOB - Rooms come out to be around $10 per person per hour - They also sell alcohol - Management is very accommodating and will do their best put you in bigger rooms if your party grows - Free feminine products in restrooms - Free candles - Free candy - Free birthday gift & photo on the wall - Free chargers to borrow for your phone - Bouncers/security genuinely care about the well being of the patrons - Manager Kai is very helpful, professional, friendly, and kind! He went above and beyond and helped me calculate the price per person at the end of everything. Thank you Gagopa! My 4th time coming and I'll definitely be back read more

Fun place for private room karaoke! the music videos are hilarious and the ambiance is good.

This place was so cool! It reminded me of japan where you walk up narrow stairs and arrive at this hole in the wall spot with christmas lights strung everywhere. We were able to walk in with a group of 5 on a tuesday night. The drinks are reasonably priced. They have microphone condoms, and a QR code to quickly find songs. The song selections are very good too, they had everything we wanted. read more

Great BYOB karaoke spot in k-town that also sells super cheaper wine / beer / champagne. Some beers were $2 each! The song selection is extensive here and each room had the AC cranking. the mics worked well and everything was clean. They also offer 10% off if you pay with cash (although the ATMs only let you take out $200 at a time). We ended up paying $300 for 2 hours with 15 people. read more

If you're looking to have a great time on a budget and you're able to BYOB, this is the place to go. Does it feel a bit more lower end than other karaoke places in ktown? For sure. But is that bad given how cheap it is and that you can bring in your own drinks? No. That's exactly what you should come here for. The staff are generally nice, and they are pretty good with management, as there always seem to be a room open or almost open. There aren't always songs that you might want, but there are enough, and you'll have a great time. read more

I've used Gagopa for several bookings and every time it's great. Made a reservation for this past Saturday and had about 10-14 people in attendance. I made the reservation 2 weeks prior but I've done it 1 week prior before. BYOB - just don't bring liquor. 10% cash discount and free birthday bottle of champagne for your group. Use them for your next party!! $9 per person per hr. Doesn't get more affordable than that. They also have great staff to back it up! read more

One of my go to noraebang places in ktown! The last visit we came without reservation but there was a room open -it was the first time I've come here where the room was English only. They have a QR code that links you to a platform where you can search songs, which comes in handy. They also have binders of the songs as well. They have great service - bringing water and soju, anything else you need (you have to leave your room and ask at the front). read more

Came here with a large group of friends (probably 20+ people) on a Thursday and they were quick to accommodate. They IDed everyone upon entry, so remember to bring ID! The staff were extremely helpful and came in multiple times to help us as we accidentally muted the karaoke machine and paused and were just generally a bit confused. The song selection is definitely not the most up to date in ktown (e.g., they only had 3 BTS songs), but if they have the songs that you want, then it's great. I used this site to see what songs to queue if you want to check out the song offerings beforehand (also much easier than using the book): http://playboxkaraoke.com/search/ Great place to karaoke, but a more limited song selection. Perfect for throwbacks! read more

They are 21+ and check IDs but BYOB! Karaoke is in English unlike some places that are in Korean. The remote is easy and simple to use. They also have an ATM to use read more

When it works this place is great but randomly songs don't work and apparently it's literally every song I choose. No reason to not do YouTube in a place like this and it's already pretty poorly maintained. It's cool that it's BYOB I guess. Literally three out of the five I wanted to sing - all very common songs. It sucks. They brought some free drinks which kind of doesn't matter if none of the songs I want to sing actually work. read more

Thank you Gagopa and it's wonderful staff! I came here on a Saturday night with a group of 10 people. I made a reservation 3 weeks in advance, but the staff was accommodating of day-before changes The staff upgraded us to the largest room (no charge), stored our drinks and a birthday cake while we were out for dinner, provided us with a cooler with ice, plates and utensils, gave us a complementary bottle of champagne for a birthday, notified us when our reservation was coming to an end and gave us a 10% discount for paying with cash. I would highly recommend this place to others! read more

No frills karaoke spot You can byob Prices are fair, but def recommend bringing your own drinks. Song selection was OKAY. A lot of the songs we picked were not working. read more

workers were rude when asked about their wait time and song choices, he turned his back to us and didn't look up in our eyes. felt the entitlement and rudeness from the worker with no manners. don't waste your money here, the rooms are run down anyway read more

I am 99% sure they overcharged us, but y'know what? I had a good time anyway and that's what matters! Our group was fairly big, but they accommodated us fairly quickly. They checked our IDs and vaccination cards upon entry - and were always just a flight of stairs away if we needed help. At a couple of points, our mics gave off some pretty terrible feedback (but I think it was because the mics were too close together). While the alcohol is definitely overpriced, it is convenient and helps you keep the party going. Overall, would come back! read more

A couple of friends and I came for a get together one night for some karaoke and drinks. The place is being your own bottle so if you have something that you would prefer to drink I would recommend bringing it. They didn't really have any soft drinks when we were there. Just cola and ginger ale in terms of options. The servers were nice but what they didn't explain to us when we came in was that it's an extra charge for BYOB. We asked them as we were getting the room if there was an extra charge and they told us no so when we saw it on the bill, we felt deceived. We had a good time singing but next time we will just pregame at a dive bar or another spot in K-Town before coming read more

Celebrated my birthday here last night. Loved being able to use my phone to search for songs while others used the book. BYOB & food. They had a bottle opener in the room and covers for the microphones. Affordable and fun plus 10% off if you pay in cash. Would return for sure. read more

The songs are old and the system is bad which is so hard to find the sings you like. The server even had a problem to navigate the karaoke system. Price is average. read more

Go somewhere better - $77/small room/hour (cannot be used towards food/drinks like most places) - Discount if you pay in cash - No food/drink allowed - The song-picking process was ancient and took forever - We went through two song books and entered each corresponding number on a pad - They don't have the original track for any song, it's just the backing track - The mic wasn't working for the first bit - On the bright side they have relatively new songs - They don't offer water, you have to pay for it - It was really sweet of them to bring bottles of water and two packets of snacks at the end - There are better options in the city read more

Have been coming here for birthday parties for 3 years. Honestly outstanding, hands-down the best Karaoke joint in town. SO cheap for what you get, BYOB, amazing location, SO MUCH FUN, great selection, alcohol available for purchase outside - just SO good every single time. Definitely book a reservation in advance, this place gets packed fast. The rooms are clean, big, and super fun. Staff is amazing and super helpful as well! read more

Make sure to bring your id! We traveled far just to be told we couldn't sing. Was super disappointed especially since it's not even on the website. read more
