I went here for my birthday and had a fantastic time. Food: I don't remember honestly and don't think we ordered any food there as we had just come from KBBQ down the street. Service: They were very attentive and I was able to get a reservation, check in and pay without any issues. There was a bottle of champagne included with the birthday package price which was nice and got the night started. Ambiance: It's a nice, clean space and the private rooms are a great spot to sing - I can't honestly think of anything negative about this place. If you're looking for a reasonably priced spot to sing for a couple of hours without strangers ogling you, give this place a try! read more

Went for a friends birthday and it was super chill. They have a B rating on the door so would be careful of ordering food. I know my friend ordered the pizza and wasn't happy. The rooms are spacious and clean. Multiple TVs which makes it easy to sing along. They had some tambourines which we shaked to our hearts content. Lots of Korean songs and didn't have as expansive of a library for English songs as other places, but still had a blast belting the ballads and bops they did have. read more

Upon entering, I would say that this place gives me mixed reviews, the atmosphere was definitely there! The service was great, and the prices per hour for karaoke is not shabby at all! My concerns were the prices for the other things, like the food the alcohol and bottle service that they provided for us, it could've been priced a lot competitively. I arrived at night and was wondering why it was still empty, would recommend this place if you are looking to spend lots of money!!! Wouldn't recommend for anyone looking for a budget Karaoke place, other than that, it was a great place would good atmosphere. read more

I was not remotely mistaken. I'd been going to Palm Tree for years. It's completely changed. I 100% was charged a 30% auto-gratuity, overcharged in general, and rushed out before our time was up. We witnessed numerous people coming in with what appeared to be prostitutes, to the point my girlfriend felt uncomfortable even going to the bathroom alone -- and while I was waiting outside for her, the staff gave me a hard time just for waiting politely for her. The fact that the owner would attempt to gaslight in response, only makes me more disgusted by what's become of this business. read more

Hosted my friendsgiving here this year and it was an absolute blast! We got a standard room for 6 people with the soju and beer package. For our entree we ordered the bulgogi rice which was AMAZING. They also let us bring some of our own food due to some dietary restrictions in our party which was so kind. They offer tambourines too which is such a great add!! The package typically comes with 2 hours of karaoke but bc we had so much fun we added another hour. Jerry was our waiter and very nice as was the rest of the staff. If you're looking for something fun and different to do with a group this is the move! Only downside is the automatically applied gratuity which is kind of hefty. All in all - would come again! read more

Sometimes you just wanna karaoke and snack the night away and the place to do it all is at @palmtree_karaoke ! Tonight, I had such a fun night connecting with old and new friends. When you walk in, the vibes just screams fun and those vibes carries throughout your time at Palm Tree Karaoke. As a foodie, of course we drank a lil and snacked on all of our fav finger foods. Would I come again? The question should really be when you will come karaoke with me at Palm Tree Karaoke? My favorite song for karaoke is Barbie Girl by Aqua.

Horrible service. Came with a group but we ended up wanting to go to a different location. We were there for less than 15 mins yet they tried charging us for half an hour. They tried saying we couldn't afford it when that wasn't the issue we were just trying to go to a different location. Horrible management. Wouldn't recommend at all They could've handled it way better but instead they insulted us, not only that but they wanted us to stay after the horrible/ rude service that their manger offered. Why would we stay at a place where the atmosphere didn't feel right. Not only that we tried paying in cash but they wouldn't let us. We tried paying for staying for ONLY 15 mins MAX. Yet they refused to take our cash. Not only were they very rude & uncooperative they charged us for the "service" that we never wanted. read more

Tried to leave to go to a different karaoke spot, and they wouldn't let us leave even though we tried to tell them we didn't touch anything and decided right when we got in. Horrible management and said we couldn't afford the karaoke here. Made us pay and wouldn't let us pay cash...? It's confusing but don't come here. **Update after their response: they told us they would allow our two friends in that aren't 21 after we told them we changed our mind, but we said no because they are not of age and we would go somewhere else. So I don't really understand the "following the laws" comment they put down. We didn't understand why we were getting charged if we did not use any of the services and were trying to get someone that spoke English to communicate with us during the time we were there to ask questions. Take it how you want to take it, but an establishment not allowing you to change your mind when you get there and didn't use their service is not customer service in any way. We got charged for 30 minutes btw and a food platter but we didn't use the room or ate any of the food.... lol. read more

Our private karaoke room was super spacious and clean!! The music selection was up to date and the service was fast. This is a great spot for small and large groups. The other karaoke places make you pay up front for a bunch of drinks, but here you can just order what you want. Our group of 3 enjoyed that very much!

Of all the karaoke places in K-town, please don't settle for this one. It's very clear they're trying to rebrand on Yelp given the influx of 5 star reviews in the last 5-6 months. My experience most closely aligned with the reviews dated before then. First of all, I tried to request a reservation and received a text message requesting my credit card info via text to confirm my reservation. I am very cautious about my card info and opted to walk in instead. When my group and I arrived, we were quickly ushered into a room. I thought this was great given we didn't have a reservation. That's where the positive review ends. We were told we had to buy a package and were walked to the room without being handed a menu or an explanation of our options. Once we were in our room, a server came in and asked what flavor soju we wanted. We answered, he said he'd bring coors light, but we requested the Korean beer instead. The server brought those drinks and a fruit platter and disappeared. No overview of the controls, remote, settings etc. which you typically get when using karaoke rooms. Our servers were never to be seen again until our time was almost up. The server came in saying they needed a card now, handed mine over and they came back with the receipt and my card. The charges included a service charge. The package listed was the standard room, which includes 2 hours, the drinks mentioned above, fruit and an entree. The entree never came nor was it offered. Again, no menu available anywhere. Today when I looked at the receipt I noticed the service charge, and the package was one line item so I looked online to confirm we were billed for the right package since we were never handed a menu or package description. The package was not described on the receipt at all. Additionally, I didn't see the mandatory/ unilaterally added service charge listed anywhere. I normally don't question those charges if they're on a menu and are tied to a policy that's clearly outlined for customers. This was not the case at palm tree. I sent a text message looking to clarify the charges to the number that initially reached out regarding my initial request to book a room in advance. The person responded and I tried to explain my confusion. The person called me and introduced himself as the manager. I was so glad to see they were trying to communicate and answered, thanking them for reaching out before I explained anything. That call ended up making matters much worse. The manager was condescending. I tried to explain that we were not clear as to what our package included and that we were charged a service fee without any explanation. We also never received any food other than the fruit platter, despite the online descriptions stating an entree was included. I repeatedly explained that we were never offered a selection, menu, or any type of service. After several repetitive explanations, I became frustrated and asked if customers were expected to beg for service to which he answered "yes, just like a hotel". After which I said, wow okay and hung up. Obviously nothing to discuss if that's their understanding of what service should consist of. Karaoke rooms are not hotels despite the motel activity going on at this location. (Yes, the hooker reviews are true. Leather clad escorts, others in school girl mini skirts, and some in teeny weeny night club-esque dresses run rampant.) He then followed up our call via text saying it was his day off and that I should be glad he every contacted me today - as if I should have access to his schedule. I also noted I thought it was a business phone given they requested credit card info via text from that number. If you do book in advance, be on the lookout for any fraudulent charges. It's not normal or acceptable to request credit card info from a cell number. Most places either don't require this or you book online in a secure and private site. Overall very disappointed. This feels like a cover operation for the sex work that happens here, with money grabs and bait and switch tactics used on paying customers who really only come for karaoke. Wonder what the 5 star reviewers received in exchange for the positive reviews- there's no way they were submitted by customers paying full price. I've uploaded a video of all we received for our $366 total. read more

This is a good karaoke spot with typical prices for K-town but actually friendlier & more personable staff than most! The system with the drinks minimum is what it is, when I'm not in the mood for an extravagant alcohol soaked party I just go to the mall in little Tokyo, but this spot is nice for that classic Korean karaoke atmosphere. I also wanted to make a comment referencing some negative reviews talking about "escorts". Korean karaoke bars do not allow escorts. If you see attractive women wearing heels, they are karaoke hostesses, and their job is to sing and bring a celebratory atmosphere for parties that are looking for that. Calling them escorts is just misogynistic and kind of xenophobic honestly. read more

After having a sauna at Crystal Spa on Sunday evening, September 13th, I had dinner with my mom and…read moremy two brothers at Hang Ah Restaurant (항아리 바지락 칼국수). I think I've been coming here for a very, very long time--probably for about 20 years! I used to come here quite often back then. At some point, though, I stopped coming as much because the parking situation in this shopping center became so busy and chaotic that it was difficult to even get in from the entrance. Also, the last time I came here, maybe two years ago, the valet parking attendant was so rude that I didn't really feel like coming back. This time, since we were already in the area for the spa, we decided to stop by again. Back when I first started coming here, it was just a very small noodle restaurant. One thing they've kept all these years--and what I think is such a great touch--is that they still serve yeolmu kimchi and kkom-bori-bap (barley rice) as a complimentary side. The restaurant became incredibly popular over the years and eventually expanded into the neighboring space, so there are now many more tables than there used to be. Since it had been such a long time since my last visit, I noticed they had quite a few new menu items that weren't available before, including galbi-jjim (braised short ribs), samgyetang (Korean ginseng chicken soup), and galbi noodle soup. One of my brothers and I ordered the perilla oil makguksu each, and it was absolutely delicious! It had such a rich, nutty flavor from the perilla oil, and it was one of those dishes that makes you think about it again later. In the past, I would always order the clam kalguksu whenever I came here, but this time I decided to try something different. My other brother ordered the clam kalguksu, and my mom had the dolsot (Hot stone) bibimbap. I tried a spoonful of my mom's dolsot bibimbap because I really like bibimbap too, and it was delicious as well. In the past, the wait here used to be incredibly long. You had to write your name and phone number by hand at the entrance, and then a staff member would come outside and call your name when your table was ready. This time, the system was different. We were told to simply wait in line, and she would take our orders outside. She said the wait would only be about 5-10 minutes, and she was absolutely right. While we were waiting in line outside, she handed us menus, took our orders, and then seated us at our table. The food came out quickly, the service was very friendly, and everything we ordered was delicious. It turned out to be a very satisfying dinner. After coming back here again after such a long time, I completely understood why this place has been so popular for so many years. It was just as popular back then as it is now, and honestly, I can see why!

This is by far the best noodle spot in LA's K-town…read more The noodles and soup are consistently amazing, and the service is excellent. On top of that, the interior is clean, cute, and very well-kept. Parking is quite limited, though--even with valet service, it gets super congested. There's almost always a long line, as it seems like a must-try spot for anyone visiting LA. Because of that, getting a table is usually pretty tough, but we got so lucky last Sunday and were seated right away. The food was absolutely divine, and we left completely satisfied. Honestly, I almost wish fewer people knew about this place so I could come more often. They're just that good.

Kimchi Bacon Pasta: I loved the creaminess and strong kimchi taste in the pasta. I wish there was a bit more bacon, but this dish complemented our other dishes well. Bulgogi Skillet: While I appreciated the seasoning of the bulgogi, the dish came out a bit cold even thought it was on a warm plate. There were plenty for leftovers, and the dishes were generally good for a pricier dinner.

I thought the flavors were nice and the amount of meat was more than expected, which was nice. Would definitely be back!

Every dish had amazing flavors and non of them disappointed us. Came with a party of 6 so we were able to try almost everything.

To start we got the honey butter chips. Unfortunately this was my least favorite item. It got too sweet after eating a few. We also got the beef tartare. This was so good. Only downside is that after mixing in the beef marrow with the tartare, it became congealed fat so not a great texture. But flavor was great. For the main we got the zabuton to share and opted for the 16oz. We probably should've gotten the 8oz cause this was a lot of food for the two of us. But it was so tender and I loved pairing it with the perilla side. The garlic rice was delicious too. I can definitely see the hype and would come back for the steak. So tender.

Down the line, I realized that the set was basically a bunch of ban chan. Some were interesting because other Korean restaurants don't serve it. We were advised to use it to create our own bibimbap. The perilla porridge stood out most. I never had perilla porridge. The taste was unique. It had chicken inside. The small cup of pumpkin soup was yummy. The soybean soup (fermented soy bean stew) had a very pungent smell. I wanted to enjoy it, but it wasn't for me. I couldn't stand the smell and not comfortable with the taste. Wish they gave an option to choose from different stews. The desserts were good. I also like their plum tea/juice. The galbi was well marinated. Not as tender as I was hoping for, but it was still delicious. With the price, I do feel like the set should include a dish of meats. Especially since the restaurant requires 2 people at $34 each for the set. If you go 3 people, prob more worth it. Overall, it was a fun experience. Service was great.

Service is quite slow, as a true mom and pop place. It's quite popular and we happened to get there just before the rush as there was a large group waiting when we left. I'm not sure why it takes quite so long for the boribap jungsik cold dishes since most of it is premade and just needs plating. For a long time all we got was fried kelp crackers, kinda greasy fried shrimp cracker (?) and scorched rice water that was very tough to eat. The sweet pumpkin porridge was better, but I'm not a fan of sweet porridge. The rest of the set was better, fortunately, but most of it was on par with banchan that is complimentary at other restaurants but of course more variety. The savory pancake was very crispy and stayed that way. That was probably my favorite from the set, along with the perilla seed and chicken soup. The texture was quite thick like gravy but I love congee and it had a similar feel but nuttier taste. I would love a bowl of this if I were sick. Since there were 3 of us, we thought a protein would be good so we ordered the pork ribs. They were pretty good. It reminded me of hamji park, although I prefer hamji. It ended up being more food than we could eat so we took some of the ribs home. I'm glad we ordered the set for 2 and then shared a different dish. Overall I'm glad I tried it since I've been curious. The meal was good but I probably would try another option next time.

If you're searching for some of the city's best pork, then those in the know will bring up Ham Ji Park. For 2 decades, generous platters of pork ribs and pork neck stew decked every table. Now, our Korean friends lament the loss of their favorite pork joint in the city. The Koreatown proper location is located in the Royal Plaza mini-mall, just a few blocks off bustling Wilshire. Discounted parking is available in a lot across the street from the Chevron gas station. From the street, the entrance is flanked by potted plants and an enclosed street-ery. Inside, stainless steel chairs are pressed up against wooden tables, each outfitted with a metal grill. Oppressive fluorescent lighting shines down on the stone grey walls, which are left undecorated apart from a few flatscreens. Multi-lingual chatter blends with the sizzle of platters. I visited with some friends for a weeknight dinner, and about half of the tables were occupied. We shared a spread of grilled platters and sizzling soups. The meal began with a carafe of barley tea and a mostly standard spread of banchan. Across our food, the best dish was the signature Charbroiled Pork Spare Rib. The ribs were flavorful without feeling gamey, and the meat was complemented by sweet caramelized onions. The pork ribs handily outdid the good-not-great Charbroiled Beef Short Rib. Lastly, the Milt and Cod Rose with Vegetables stew was fishy and briny, appropriately flavored for the Korean palate. The service was appropriately attentive, although I would've appreciated more intentional refills of our banchan ramikens. The rib plates cost upward of $35 each, while the soup was just under $30. The portions were hearty; a single entree platter could reasonably feed 2 moderately hungry bellies. It's a shame to hear that Ham Ji Park has closed; I'm kicking myself for not trying their pork neck stew earlier.

I am thrilled to share my review of Palm Tree and Kiyoung and Paul's service tonight, as my experience there was nothing short of magnificent. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the neat and amazing environment of the place, which set the tone for a truly memorable evening. The standout feature of the experience, however, was the impeccable service provided by Kiyoung and Paul. Their attention to detail was truly impressive, and they went out of their way to make sure every aspect of our visit was enjoyable. Whether it was providing menu recommendations or ensuring our drinks were always topped up, their service was simply superb. Of course, no review of this venue would be complete without mentioning the food. I can confidently say that the dishes we tried were some of the tastiest I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and it was clear that a lot of care and attention had gone into the preparation of each dish. Overall, I cannot recommend this place so highly enough. If you're looking for great service, delicious food, and an amazing environment, then this is the place for you. I will certainly be back, and I will be telling all my friends to do the same!. read more

best karaoke in LA, It is very clean. Yelp to pick the best Karaoke joint with private rooms. As soon as you walk in youre greeted by the front desk and the manager is very friendly and helpful. The room was more than spacious and the lighting and everything inside was clean. The sound system was awesome and song selections were excellent. I asked the waiter and I was told the system is updated every month. ordered 3 dishes and the food was so bomb. It was restaurant quality or better for sure. They have a bell on the door to call for the waiters and all of them were extremely fast at answering our calls and super helpful. Kiyoung and Paul was giving awesome service. just go there 'it's better than ever.. read more

Honestly, I'm very impressed with their quick service, super friendly staff and impeccable timing when checking on us. Not so frequent but not so less that were needing to ask them so often.

We repeatedly had to leave the room to find someone and ask for drinks, and even then, we had to remind them. No one was checking in on us. The billing was also confusing. Our items totaled $166, but we were told the bill was $183, and no one could clearly explain the extra $17.

They really need to be much clearer about how it works. When we arrived, they told us to park the car ourselves instead of having the valet do it. Naturally, we assumed that if we self-parked, there wouldn't be a valet fee since they never parked the car for us or explained otherwise. After we finished eating, there was a white car blocking us from leaving, so we politely asked if they could move it. Instead of simply helping us, the first thing they asked was whether we had paid for valet. We explained that we hadn't because we parked the car ourselves. Their immediate response was, "You don't have money to pay?" That comment was incredibly rude and unprofessional. Do we look like we can't afford to pay? The issue was never about the money--it was about the lack of communication and the disrespectful attitude. If the valet service has a fee even when customers self-park, that should be explained clearly from the beginning. This is not how you treat loyal customers. I've visited this restaurant many times, but after this experience, I don't think I'll be coming back.
