Echo was insanely easy to book in advance - I put in a request on their website, paid a deposit (to…read morea e-transfer but lol it wasn't sketchy) and I've got to say this was one of the cheapest karaokes I've ever been to! (Likely because they use YouTube as their system rather than any specific licensed one - which first of all, slay. Second of all, I prefer this because the typical licensed ones usually don't have all the songs you want / you can pick songs in literally any language as long as the karaoke version is on YouTube!) The drinks were actually made well and not too pricey from what I can remember (which, let's be honest... isn't much LOL) but the bathrooms and overall place were generally clean for a spot like this. I'd come back to sing my heart out again!

This is the best karaoke room in the area. So, make sure you have booked your room before you show…read moreup. There's no way that you're getting in the evening of. The drinks are very affordable, with 22 dollars a bottle. And the machines have a lot of delightful music, with some pretty interesting background videos. But, there is no way to plug YouTube into the mix to get songs that aren't offered in the books. Still - if you're looking for a good and affordable night, Echo is superb.

I went to this karaoke bar for my friend's birthday celebration, and while it turned out to be a…read morefun night overall, a few fixes could make it perfect. The Good: Once you're inside, it's absolutely beautiful! Gorgeous lighting, vibrant atmosphere, and an excellent karaoke setup with tons of song options- we sang our hearts out for hours. The food was meh (nothing fancy), and the overall experience was enjoyable for our group of 12+. The Not-So-Good: * Impossible to find: No signs anywhere! From the street, it looks like a plain bank lol total confusion until we got in. * Cold reception: Staff at check-in were a bit frosty. * Silly alcohol policy: They denied drinks to our entire group because one person forgot their ID. Even after we showed IDs for everyone else? Come on Despite those hiccups, I'd go back for the karaoke magic alone. Just add some signage and be more flexible with IDs!

Service was prompt always checking in us and replacing mixers and shot glasses by the tray. Food was hot and fresh we had a little bit of everything but the taiwanese sausage was on point.

Echo Karaoke is one of the karaoke bars at Chinatown that offers happy hour. It is located at the…read moresecond level of the Dragon City mall. Between 3pm to 8:30pm you can sing as much as you want for only $15 per person and it includes a free non-alcoholic drink and unlimited water! Since the karaoke bar is relatively newer than the others nearby, the sound system and the furnitures are better too. Considering that the price is the same as other places, I would definitely recommend checking out Echo for happy hour karaoke singing. To pick your songs, you can browse through the touchscreen menu to select the songs you want. You need someone in your party who can read Chinese as I don't think the menu has an English mode, though they do have lots of English songs to choose from including the recent ones. Also, keep in mind that no matter how big your room is, each room only gets 2 mics to sing from, so it may be more reasonable to split into 2 rooms if your party is too big. You can call ahead to book a room for your party, this is when we found out that they are owned by the same people who runs 8090KTV across the street lol. Outside of the happy hours, they have other pricing structures such as by per hour or by per person. Since I have never been here during other times, I cannot say how reasonable their prices are, but just for happy hour, Echo is now my favourite karaoke bar in Chinatown.

Went here for karaoke with my family. It's ~$45/hour and they only accept cash. The karaoke rooms…read moreare spacious with plenty of seating, but the music selection process is complicated and a lot of the songs that we wanted to sing (all of which were quite popular) were not offered.

I almost missed Freezone; you walk a few steps down to the basement level of the building to get your singing on. Pricing isn't too bad.

We had a group booking for a Friday evening starting at 930pm and ending at 1230am. We ended up…read morewith "room 1" and it seemed they had quite a few rooms. I saw 9 or more... It cost our group 60 an hour which is basically a dollar a minute. If you are going to do Bohemian Rhapsody from start to finish ya it'll run ya about 6 bucks :) The room we had been given had 4 couches and comfortably seated all of us with enough seating for about a dozen or so. The room had coffee tables so we had places to put our drinks and there were 3 or so books with the song lists on it. One of the books was thicker than the others because it included entire sections for Korean, Japanese and Filipino songs on top of the standard English lists. The lists though were only in order by song, not by artists so it was sort of harder to find songs because of that. The computer to punch in the codes was not in English but there were notes taped on it to explain what was what so it wasn't that confusing. Overall the place is clean, comfortable and the main middle screen while not that clear, we had 2 smaller higher resolution wide screens flanking the old screen so reading the words was not a problem. You could belt out as loud as you wanted even though there's other rooms adjacent everything's pretty well sound proofed so hearing a neighbor was not an issue at all. Newer songs (say last year or so) were grouped together in and color highlighted lists at the end of the books. The order to those almost seemed to be by month. Either way it wasn't that hard to navigate and it was fun. The pricing becomes more reasonable if you have a large group. For us 3 hours was only 16 bucks a person. As far as convenience there's parking along Bloor if you can find some and a Green P parking lot north of Bloor on Clinton. Christie station is right across the street so the TTC is a stone's throw away.
