Beer and alcohol was cheap and little sweet having ordering Is cool. The bad: the song system was incredibly difficult to navigate. Song choices were fairly limited in my opinion. Some artist that are wildly popular, you couldn't find the song on their system, but other artist that were a lot less popular, they'd have everything including covers of songs. I had a lot better luck finding songs I liked at other places for sure.

There is also a liquor store right next door if you need to buy anything. They have some newer songs as well as some of the classics. The can easily fit 15ish people max and the price is great.

Overall, it's a fun, laid-back place to hang out with friends and sing your heart out. We'll definitely be back!

That kind of attitude is exactly why I won't be giving this place another dollar. I used to actually like coming here, but after being spoken to like that, I have zero interest in returning, and I definitely won't be recommending it to anyone. If you want a place with a good atmosphere and owners who don't make you regret giving them your business, go to Feste instead. The lights are actually turned down, the vibe is infinitely better, and you don't have to deal with rude comments from the people running the place nor hear them sing a million times.

The bar is pretty small, but that honestly makes it more fun when you're singing in front of people. They do not have mocktails, but for non-alcoholic options they offer tea. Karaoke songs are $2 each and cash only. You write the song number on a piece of paper and hand it to the bar. There are two microphones and a big book full of songs to choose from. As the night went on, more people showed up and the vibe picked up. Overall, it's a fun, low-key spot if you're looking to do karaoke and do not mind a smaller space.

However, depending on what you're feeling I think there is a place for everyone! You got some chips as a snack and you just order your drink and pick your songs! They had a huge selection of songs. It was fun! Definitely will be back next time and bring all of my friends. Thank you for the great vibes and great service!

I ordered the Mint Mojito, which had a good ratio of alcohol to non-alcohol proportion and was quite minty, and the large Sake Bomb, which is not too complicated of a drink but delicious! After a couple karaoke songs by strangers and my friend and I, we ordered some small dishes including chicken karaage, okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and fried squid. All these dishes were delicious, with the takoyaki and fried squid being my favorite. The way the seating is arranged along with the friendly staff make for a very fun environment, where customers are encouraged to interact with each other and make new friends!

Over the years (past decade or so now) we've gotten to know the staff and this spot has been a spot where we knew we'd get great service, good convos, and of course tasty wings, totchos, and $1 oysters on Thursdays. Shout out to Matt, Tracy, Jeremy, and their entire team for the amazing hospitality over the years. Paina closing is a reminder that it's important to not take your favorite restaurants/bars for granted because you never know when that final day will eventually come and when it does it comes way too fast. I hope the team reads this as I just want to say THANK YOU for everything and that you will be missed. The memories and moments I've gotten to enjoy here over the years won't be forgotten!

There's anime on the shelves if you want to read and relax. Love that they had a warning that some of them may not be suitable for kids. They don't split bills, so heads up if you're going with multiple people. Our boys really liked their curry and katsu. They were able to make it not really spicy and it was just right for them. Napolitan was so good. The serving size was just right. At first I thought it might be too big, but because it was so good, I scarfed that thing down.

The menu leans more toward Western-style Japanese cuisine, with a large selection of pasta dishes as well as a few rice bowls. I ordered the omurice, oyako don, and a pasta dish. Unfortunately, they had sold out of pasta, so they substituted soba noodles instead. The prices are a bit on the expensive side, but the portions are generous, especially when it comes to the amount of meat, so it still feels like good value. That said, I found the chicken to be a little tough. On the bright side, the takoyaki pancake was surprisingly good. Although the restaurant is somewhat pricey overall, the ingredients are generous and satisfying. My only real complaint is that it's almost impossible to find a server whenever you need one. 中規中矩的餐廳，在日本城的橋上是一個很不錯的賣點，食物比較偏向歐美風格的日本食物，很多義大利麵的選擇，還有些丼飯的選擇。我點了蛋包飯、Oyako Don、義大利麵，不過麵都賣完了，他們用蕎麥麵給我做。價格感覺有點偏貴，不過肉都放很多，很實惠，但是雞肉偏硬。另外，它的章魚燒餅還不錯。儘管整體價格偏貴，但是食料挺紮實的。唯一的缺點是永遠找不到服務員。
