Great karaoke place, my favorite part is that you can play Youtube videos if you don't find the options on their menu. The service is good as well. They help you with any needs. The rooms are very spacious and nicely decorated as well, I felt like I was in Korea again! read more

This was my 3rd time going to this location, but it is definitely my last. Granted the concept of paying for the room and the songs being free is really great- it's extremely overpriced in my opinion. I booked a Large Room for my 12 group party. Upon arriving the man (unfortunately I didn't get his name) told me that my reservation is for 3 hours and if I wanted to extend, I could just let them know. Perfect, sounds good. Emphasis on the **I** could let them know if I wanted to extend. Any karaoke place that you go to, you're losing track of time having fun with your friends. Before you know it, we had gone to the 4 hour mark without anyone coming to inform us or give us a heads up. My friends went to the front desk to close my room tab and were told that because we stayed longer than the reservation time, we would need to pay extra. My friends then questioned "but no one came by to tell us that we were at the time yet". And another guy (also didn't get his name) said- "we only come to warn you if we're busy, but if it's a slow night, it's on your own to remember". Idk that's just pretty shady and bad business in my opinion. I then we out, not knowing the conversation that occurred when I was absent, and questioned again why I was paying for 4 hours if my reservation was for 3 hours and no one came to warn us that we were already past our time. Both men just looked down at their computers and refused to speak to me- I stood there for a good minute waiting for one of them to give me some type of answer, and didn't get anything. Yes I understand we're all adults, but just the fact that the type of environment makes you lose track of time- I just feel taken advantage of and I'm sure I'm not the only one who this has happened to. I just wish they had informed us of this "rule they have based on their level of busy-ness" ahead of time. Because any other karaoke place will warn you when it's almost time to leave. Ended up paying $551 for the 4 hours of singing. Their only saving grace and why they aren't getting 1 star is that they are BYOF (bring your own food). read more

Wave808 Karaoke - Karaoke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I really enjoyed spending an evening here. We were a group of 7 and it was so fun. Our room was plenty large for us and for all the food we brought to make the evening wonderful. We ordered drinks, and while there were a lot that were unavailable, there ones that were were really good. The rooms are clean and have their own AC, but it can get hot if there are a lot of people in there singing and dancing (like we were). The hosts were very kind with excellent customer care as well. The song selection was elite and it was an overall great time. I would return. read more

If you feel the need to sing, or need someplace to celebrate a special occasion, come to Wave 808 Karaoke. Located in the 808 Center on Rycroft and Sheridan, on the 2nd floor on the very Ewa end of the building. Parking is available if you'd like to park on the premises but not sure what the rates are, but mostly everyone else finds street parking or at Walmart. I believe this is a BYOB, but they do sell alcohol if that's easier, but weigh out your own needs of cost vs convenience. The room was well equipped and besides the benches they had stools to sit on but was a little small for our party, so people mainly sang a song and hele'd on. For 5 hrs we had about a dozen people and choke pot luck food to go around. Also, the cost was around 2 bills per hour, but to each their own on what you want. They have a large selection of songs and you are able to use Youtube searches too. They also have a Korean machine for those into Kpop or Korean songs. Light controls were straight forward and added to the moment, but the beverage service was super quick. They had QR codes youn can scan and order food and drinks to your room. The convenience is superb. They also had a camera in the room to take selfies but we didn't try and of course used our phones instead. So, if you're in town and wanna do some vocal venting, come catch the Wave808 and sing till your hears content. Til the next que, Grind On, Pau! read more

Wave808 Karaoke - They have a Photo Booth in da room... - Karaoke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

If you are looking for a clean Karaoke, it is the perfect venue! We came on a weekday afternoon and it was pretty empty. We could sing Japanese, Chinese and English songs with good selections. You could bring own food but no drinks. But the drinks were very reasonable and they bring to your karaoke room. Parking in building is only valet and I recommend parking nearby Walmart or street parking (need to read the signs). read more

Checked out Wave808 Karaoke for some weekday karaoke. Made an online reservation for a late night large room ($120.00 USD/hour) for our party of 15. Nice perk that you can bring in your own food. We bought alcohol ($35.00 USD for 6 Corona Extra bottles), soju ($15.00 USD) and water ($6.00 USD). Make sure to set your own alarm so that you don't get charged for extra time. read more

Better service, better song selection, Papa Wave808. But really it's just a great karaoke place. The rooms are clean, the food is good, and you can sing literally any song your silly little head can imagine. I don't know what else you could want from a karaoke place. Maybe to sing in the middle of a bar in front of other dining guests like the climax of my worst nightmares? read more

We were feeling like karaoke on a Tuesday night and our usual go to's were all closed. But Wave808 was open and we could walk in! The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and clean. You can choose the songs from the iPad in the room or download the app and connect it to the tv. It's pretty easy to use and if you can't find the song you want on the app, you can search on youtube! Love that they are open late and have alcoholic beverages for sale too. They also sell food, but we didn't order any. read more

Wave808 Karaoke - Outside area - Karaoke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Did you know that karaoke in Japanese means empty Orchestra? This is the literal translation and I am here for it! Wave808 is a great place and one of my favorite establishments to sing karaoke. I really enjoy being able to come to a place that is clean, fairly nicely decorated, centrally located, has ample parking, and also has a decent variety of food and drinks ( they also let you bring in your own food if you want, but not drinks since they sell those there). I like how you're able to make reservations online, with reminders sent via email and or text. This place is a little bit on the pricey side as far as private rooms go, but they have a really good song selection in addition to the other reasons why I enjoy this place and I'm willing to pay for these extras. If you want these extras, but don't really wanna pay a lot, come during their off times or happy hour times: it's a little cheaper then. The people upfront are nice and sometimes engage in friendly banter. There's a little bell in your room that enables You to call on them for beverage service, or if you need a new microphone because you killed it with your scream--I mean ethereal voice. I've only gone with a couple of friends so I only know of the smaller rooms, but they do have rooms that accommodate larger parties. While the rooms are sound resistant, they are not soundproof, not that anyone cares, I think. I know we didn't. Happy singing! read more

Clean room. Medium room was perfect for 7 of us. Karaoke app worked perfectly. Complimentary photo booth feature is fun! Drink orders came fast. Even though we stayed longer than we initially reserved, they were nice about it and didn't rush us. read more

The karaoke system was really good quality and the songbooks were clean. Would go back and would also recommend.

The service is excellent and the technology used for karaoke song selection and ordering food was smooth and seamless. I was also impressed at the speed of service, short wait time when the food/drink order is sent and received. This is my four time there is the last 2 years and they've maintained the quality of service as when I first visited. read more

Great host and everyone in our party had a great time celebrating our daughter's graduation from UH!! We will definitely come back!

Private room, good drinks, endless song selection, BYOF(ood), decent size rooms, HUUUUGE screen, and very easy to use machines! The rooms are NOT sound proof but it's kinda funny hearing a sea of different singing voices roaring through the halls. Kinda adds to the vibes. Only gripe is the parking, but it's the building's fault not the venue itself. We had to move our cars out of the parking stricture after 9pm and find street parking. It was very confusing lol read more

This was the best karaoke experience I had in Hawaii on this last trip. The karaoke place is on the 2nd floor of a building full of restaurants on Sheridan street - not far from Walmart. Right as I came in one afternoon I was able to book a room for a few hours. They set me up pretty quickly and I was good to go. They use Healsonic so if you have the app on your phone and all your songs already chosen as favorites you can go straight to singing without searching through thick songbooks. They gave me the Healsonic wifi password to connect so I could use my phone instead of the pad they provided. You have language choices of English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, French, German, Hawaiian, Hindi, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Thai, and Vietnamese. For Korean you probably need a different device - like the TJ Media one. You can also access karaoke versions of songs on youtube through the Healsonic app so that's definitely a plus. There was a button in the room that I could press if I needed anything and the folks working there were very accommodating. Will be back for sure. read more

So much fun multiple sizes of rooms to choose from The room is set up as a Photo Booth-take as many pics as you like and down load them to your phone. Everything is automated and can be accessed from your phone from ordering food and drinks to adding your songs. Shunji made sure that we were taken care of and had everything we needed. Will definitely come back soon read more

Wave808 Karaoke - XL room for up to 20. Photo taken on the rooms camera system - Karaoke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great service, ambiance, and easy to use equipment! My friends and I had a wonderful time!

First time checking out the karaoke place. We got a large room that could fit 15+ people. The room was pretty spacious and I liked how easy it was to order food/drinks and que the songs. We had to download the healsonic app on our phone to search through songs and it was pretty easy to navigate. (They also had an ipad to search for songs and could also stream youtube for songs they didn't have). The room rate is pretty expensive compared to other karaoke places, but w/ a big group, it's not bad if you split up. The food order initially took a while to be delivered, but after a while it was pretty quick. It's also BYOF, so you can bring your own food. There is Margaritas downstairs so you could order their Mexican food and bring it upstairs. They don't allow any outside drinks tho. (Also have to purchase water) I'd come to this place again if we have another pau hana. read more

Wave808 Karaoke - Large karaoke room + midori sour - Karaoke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We had a fun time for our daughter's birthday party. I would come here again, it was my second time. The check in experience was less than we good. We were able to set up the room prior to starting our session which was great. About 5-10 minutes before we were scheduled to start, we went and asked to pay. The "not fun ever man" as we referred to him told us that we put our credit card down when were we starting our time. We were starting in 5 minutes. We left and said ok. My husband started towards the bathroom about 2 minutes later and the "not fun ever man" kind of made a scene that we needed to come and pay, that our time was about to start. Well ok. So we did, but how did 2 minutes make the difference? When he came in the room to explain how it worked, he spoke so fast and mumbled I didn't understand everything. I had been before so I didn't worry about it, but even the teenagers had to come out and ask how to increase the volume. We cleaned up and left on time. I felt so odd about the check in experience I made sure to take a video of the room before leaving. I felt like I could be charged a cleaning fee out of nowhere even though we completely cleaned it up. read more

Omg this place is my go-to karaoke spot. I love the staff--so attentive and nice and friendly. The rooms are adorably decorated and the mood lighting and AC are completely customizable to fit your vibe. The drinks are great and I love that they have snacks to order. Their healsonic app makes it so easy to set up your playlists so there isn't a wasted minute of fun and singing. Amazing place and they make the he happy hour pricing affordable for local people just looking to have fun. read more

catch the WAVE Since I have sung various Taylor Swift songs at this Wave808, I only find it fitting that I post a review before summers out. WELCOME TO NEW YORK Our friends from NYC are visiting for most of the summer (yes, they're still here), and one of their favorite past times is to go to karaoke. Thankfully, after some research, we booked a res (1 of 2 this summer) at Wave808 Karaoke as it was in town and had a healthy Yelp review score. STYLE The room sizes vary. Looks like they can accommodate small numbers (like our group of 4) or much larger groups as well. Rates will also vary from early to later in the evening. Outside drinks not allowed; bring your own food = ok. There is a QR code singers can scan to order drinks. One can choose from water, to soda, to some liquid courage/adult beverages. Service is quite prompt. The rooms have COLD A/C, fyi. READY FOR IT? Singers can choose/search for their songs/artists via a tablet. Searches can be conducted by either artist or song title. If searching by artist, all songs available for that artist/group will populate the search field. Controls for skipping songs, stopping songs, and viewing the queue can all be done via the tablet. CRUEL SUMMER So far, we've been to Wave808 Karaoke twice. Our first visit was last month and we discovered that parking is a bit of a challenge. Options are either in the lot or street. This business is located on the second floor of the complex; its literally on the opposite end of the Chengdu restaurant. We visited for the second time in AUGUST During our second visit earlier this month, it was quite crowded. We appreciated the patient of the staff at the front desk checking us in and accommodating our last minute res (we modified our arrival time). SHAKE IT OFF I'd totally recommend this place. Parking is challenging, but where in town is it not? Friendly staff and a great selection of songs. read more

Seriously the best Karaoke place on island! Their system has a YouTube function that allows you to pick songs that you might not find in their catalog. read more

amazing service and song selection! space was clean and staff were friendly. I only come here for my karaoke nights

Everyrbing was so amazing! Love the decor and especially the feature where you can select a YouTube version if they don't have a song you want. Alcohol selection is top notch. Food selection is perfect!! Only wish the popcorn came with mochi crunch but will bring my own next time Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. 10/10 recommend. read more

The staff was great, the Karaoke system and song selections were amazing, the food and beer was incredible and the ambiance and whole experience was so enjoyable! This was our first there and we had an awesome time! We will definitely be back! Thank to that guy who gave us a tour of your other room! We appreciated it! read more

amazing! BUT I wish the gentleman was more energetic and told us how good we sounded even though we probably didn't

Welcoming and smooth check in with super friendly staff. The rooms are absolutely beautiful!! The decorations, dimmable lighting, adjustable ac temperature, easy to use karaoke system, electronic food/beverage ordering, comfortable seating, and efficient floor plans are what make Wave808 stand out from other karaoke joints. My favorite, BEST, and the most unique feature is the wall mounted DSLR camera that takes pictures after a countdown. You can then email and download the pictures to keep. I would recommend Wave808 10/10 and will for sure be returning in the near future. read more

Had the best time here. The interface for picking songs is excellent and you can easily switch to youtube if you want to sing a deep cut that isn't in the regular selection. Super nice and helpful front desk, with a messaging system to update reservation info. Nice clean rooms with adjustable mood lighting and a good sound sytem. Highly recommend! read more

They have been there for a year, before it was another karaoke business. The rooms are cute, new looking, and spacious. They have a bunch of rooms available and prices are easy to know as it's located online. Reservations are easy to do. When you book a room you check in and they lead you to your #. They have different room sizes available based on your party. They have the best selection of music so far as you can search or go on YouTube. They also have a camera if you wanted to take some pics in the room. They have QR codes to order food/drinks on separate tabs. I found this very convenient instead of figuring out the prices at the end of the night on a large bill. Place to try when you want to sing some Karaoke! read more

The bartenders were amazing and professional. The spaces were clean, the mics were clean, and the bathrooms were clean as well. A hidden gem filled with other dining experiences nearby hidden behind Ala Moana. If you wish to have a private experience filled with great food options and good service, come here. One difficulty thing is definitely parking. Parking at Walmart you get fined if you overstay, so car pool if you can. Otherwise a wonderful experience and friendly staff. read more

Ambiance is good, servers are friendly and concierge. Very organized billing system. We would go back with friends again!

Cool staff and clean room. Not much more to ask for than that. Ordered a water and it came in 30 seconds.

Amazing! Love the service, attention to detail. Easy app use!!! Will come back!!! Price is good and Russian songs availability is a huge plus!!! read more

Great service, great song selection, and great ambiance! Great experience overall. Definitely coming back!

Loved the service! Songs are fiyah and family enjoyed our time together. We will definitely be back.

great space, service was awesome, very accommodating . Will book another occasion there again!

The drinks are an okay price--not terrible but not cheap either. I wish they had a happy hour or something. The place is clean and well taken care of. Sometimes, the mic is troublesome (squeaks or echoes). So far, I've been here 2x. It has a good selection and also allows you to do videos from YouTube. The servers are nice, and at the end, they let you split the bill however you want. They allow food in, which is really nice. Overall, I like it here. The only way it could be better is if they let you bring your own drinks. read more

Fav karaoke spot! Food & customer service was quick & great. Song choices had a lot of options to pick from (YOUTUBE Included)

I've been here twice now with small groups of friends and really felt strongly about writing a positive review for Wave808. The two groups I went with were mostly first-timers who had never been to the private room style of karaoke, and they were absolutely smitten by the whole experience, with both groups electing to stay for extra time. The room we most recently booked also had a camera situated high up that could take a pic of the whole group and send the pics to an email address, which was a nice touch I haven't seen anywhere else. We've only been here on what one would consider "off times" (like a Sunday afternoon) so no problems whatsoever making reservations on their excellent website or extending times, and the service has been fantastic. The rooms are clean and well-appointed with decent equipment, and food and drink orders arrive super fast. Honestly, the food menu isn't great and is almost definitely comprised of reheated frozen foods, but they allow you to bring your own food which is fantastic since there are a few good restaurants in the same mall. Just remember that you cannot bring your own drinks. Really great fun- look forward to visiting again! read more
