    Fun karaoke spot that lets you bring your own food and drinks for only $2 more per person! Love to have that flexibility because you know sometimes you get that thirst or hunger from singing your heart out. Reservations are super easy to make with their online system. Even when my group was running late, they were super nice in moving our reservation to a later time and allowed us to extend as we needed. The only minor issues I experienced were that the room would either be really freezing cold or warm/stuffy, and then that the some of the lyrics of songs were either off or non-existent, so maybe an issue with the karaoke software system? Not a dealbreaker since we most likely already know the missing lyrics anyways haha. Would be great to have a room with regulated temperature though, otherwise just prepare to bundle up if you don't like the cold!

    Third time to this karaoke studio and it gets better each time. The rooms here are very spacious, clean, fresh and welcoming. The sound system is amazing and the music choices are many The staff here is always very friendly and professional Happy hour prices (1:00 pm-7:00 pm) $7.00 per person, per hour. Very affordable. You are allowed in your own food and drinks for an additional $1.00 per person. Who does this?? This is a deal!! You WILL have a GREAT time singing your heart out this place along with family, friends or alone.

    This place is in the same plaza as Elvis!? Used to be which was the previous karaoke place was for over 20 years. I used to go there when I was in high school so when my kid wanted to do karaoke I found this spot. We scheduled one hour for her and 3 friends for her 16th birthday and they had a blast! The place is clean and in a nice plaza where there's a good variety of restaurants. The owner is very nice and she has an adorable dog that's so friendly.

    Been here a number of times over the years. Always a good time. Max uses the healsonic app - so you can preload all your favorites so you don't have to search catalogs and all that. The app lets you search songlists for English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, French, German, Hawaiian, Hindi, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Thai, and Vietnamese. I didn't list Korean because I think you still need to ask for one of those TJ Media devices - the Healsonic app didn't pull any Korean songs.... for me at least. If Healsonic doesn't have what you want you can request a song - Max's website has a link for that if you want to go that route. But really that isn't even necessary because Healsonic now actually let's you call up youtube karaoke videos as well. Sky's the limit.. or at least youtube's the limit. Rooms have always been decent and they sell drinks if you need hydration. Whoever's working there will come by with the 5 minute warning sign so you can fit in a short but sweet song before calling it a day... or night. This location is in a mall with Grocery Outlet and a number of restaurants and there's always available parking.

    Can you bring your own drinks in for yourself and your party?

    Yes! You are able to! But for the price of $2/person It's charged to everyone, even if 1 person brings in a small bottle of water - if you have a group of 4 then that charge… 

    Do all guests have to be 21 if alcohol is brought?

    My group didn't get carded as we came in throughout the night to our reserved room. We did have alcohol and food but we didn't get ID (maybe just person who puts their card down to reserve does get carded), we all were over the age (late 20s to mid… 

    Can you get a room by yourself?

    Yes you can!

    The system uses an iPad that has the Healsonic which is an app that lets you search up songs you want.

    I have been going to this bar for years. So, for my birthday I took some friends who like to sing…read more We all put in songs, ordered drinks, and waited patiently. After about an hour my two friends' song was up. The bartender who identifies as Meow (Melissa, refered to in other yelp reviews as "metal face") screamed "I don't want to hear this song AGAIN!!". (Note in the time we were there no one had sung that song) She skipped my friends song and proceeded to sing a song of her own. My friends felt so disrespected that having just ordered another drink gave those drinks away and fled from the bar immediately. While I can imagine that working in a karaoke bar, one would hear the same songs over and over; but Meows behavior was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. She could have taken my friends aside and asked them to put in a different song, but she did not. She prioritized her own desires to sing instead of fostering a new relationship with customers. SHE IS NOT A CUSTOMER, CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE PRIORITIZES. After this complete disrespect of my friends and after I had told them how fun it was, I will not be patronizing this establishment ever again. I most certainly will not recommend it to anyone. In all honesty, I have observed her behavior and have been upset and concerned with her integrity. I'm quite surprised that she is even working at the establishment given the previous yelp views.

    This is my husband and I's favorite spot for Karaoke in the OC! We had come here about 2 years ago…read moreand I believe it was running under another name as I was having a hard time finding it on my Maps app. I asked the main manager, that was the one helping us out for majority of the night, about the name change and he informed me that unfortunately the older woman that used to run the place passed away in recent years and now there are new owners. My husband and I arrived around 7:30 PM on a Saturday night and we were placed in a room immediately. The plaza that this establishment is at is in a busy one with restaurants all around. Parking was not hard to find around that time, but it was very busy and filling up quickly. The two times I've been here, I was able to find parking easily. That same man that helped us out was very pleasant and energetic. He informed us that they were out of the yogurt soju we wanted, so he went out of his way to one of the nearby businesses to find the soju bottle for us and said it was on the house. I asked if they had any snacks for us, and he gave us free snacks that consisted of peanuts, pretzels, and other snacks. Due to his kindness and energy, we ordered another soju bottle. The karaoke rooms itself are really spacious. The equipment is great. They use youtube so you can play almost any song you want. My husband and I found a song that we liked that is not very popular for karaoke as it is by an artist that is not well known and we were able to sing it here! There were no time limits which I really liked. We were there for about 3 hours and the prices were very reasonable. I live about an hour away from OC and there are not many karaoke options where I'm at. The closest karaoke place to me has a strict 2 hour limit and the walls are very thin. I will go out of my way to drive to this place as the parking is easy, the prices are reasonable, the music selection is broad, and the owners/employees are great. You guys have a loyal customer here! Thank you for staying open! My husband and I have definitely found our favorite karaoke spot and we plan to make trips out here more often when we can!

    I have never been more disappointed with a karaoke spot. Before it was "Don't tell papa," my…read morefriends and I were always here, but ever since they changed management and the name, they have not been the same. I was here the first time, and the music selection was super glitchy and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it so we never got to really even sing any songs. Fast forward, a year later, we revisited this place today because it was right next to Taira sushi. My friends and I got a small room. Selecting songs require you to pick one song at a time so there's no "queue." You sing one song then you have to pick the next one before you sing again. We weren't very happy about this flow. So after maybe 3 songs, we decided to leave. The host said "oh, I'll try to charge you for half an hour only." The total came out to $55.... Mind you we sang less than 3 songs. I was super disappointed at that service. PS A side note my other friend told me afterwards was that he was charged $59.99 for 3 bottles of CASS beer. That's insane. We'll NEVER be back!
