The food was delicious. We originally thought it was mainly about singing, but his skewers are really delicious. The kind that makes your eyes light up is pretty good. The wine is also decent and reasonably priced. But ktv has some flaws.The sound atmosphere and song requesting methods are all new and very good. But some of the songs have wrong lyrics. It's fine if it's a random song, but if it's a singer you're a fan of, your mouth will almost crooked when you sing. . I hope the boss can update it.If not singing, there is a place to eat. I think it's okay to come here just to eat. Because it's really delicious.Parking is also convenient, and there is a bath downstairs (not a hotel), bathing, singing, and eating, all in one place.

Most of the rooms are very cutely decorated, but there were too many people on the day we went. The room we were given was an ordinary room, which was a bit disappointing. We will make a reservation early next time. The barbecue is delicious.Kid-friendliness: Very cute layout, I saw many children liking it.

The barbecue is so delicious. You can sing while eating. Barbecue➕KTV. I feel like I saved money on a meal. The speakers are also very good and the price/performance ratio is very high. Recommended??

This place is a hello kitty and friends themed karaoke place. The rooms are stunning. The have aggretsuko, gudetama, my melody, little twin stars and 2 different hello kitty rooms. The staff is super friendly and understanding about times/larger parties. The food is good, and the drinks. We ordered wings and some appitizers like egg rolls. All delicious.

Visited this location on 11/18/23:Why 2 stars? I'm giving this spot 2 stars because the decor inside the karaoke rooms are super cute (you can't go wrong with Hello Kitty decor) and because my daughter and our family did enjoy ourselves. Also, the staff (only 2 men) were as attentive as possible but lacked in many areas. Forgot to bring us our drinks and some food items were left out too. CONS: 1. Do NOT order food from here. We spent over $100 on food and drinks and barely touched any of the food. Legit looks like they purchase the menu items from a local Asian market and just heat it up in the microwave. Also, after walking out to the front to ask for our missing items, I noticed that there is no cook in the kitchen, and the kitchen is dirty af. Yuck! Luckily with them forgetting some of our dishes, we were able to cancel a few items after seeing and tasting how terrible these menu items were. 2. I saw this place on instagram and followed the link to book our reservation. You can only book 1 week in advance and when you do book, you pay for the room in advance. We selected the Hello Kitty Room (seats up to 8 people) and paid $96 for 2 hours the day we booked. The website states it's $48 per hour. When we finished our party and went to the front to pay, they charged us AGAIN for the HK room! $120! So I asked where the $96 went and the man in the front told me that I paid that to the website to reserve but that money doesn't go to the actual establishment. He also said he "thinks" I'll be getting that money back in a few days. He said he doesn't know why they do it that way but that's how it goes. Lovely! -_-3. We drove 2 hours from San Diego to this location and arrived to the place 30 min before our scheduled time. Instead of making us wait until 8pm, we were taken to the room right away (which I thought was pretty cool!). Side note: when we walked into this place it seemed super sketchy and abandoned. Anyways, we were scheduled for 2 hours and I figured our time started when they walked us in (30 min before) and would end 30 min before our scheduled end time. As I walked by other rooms, I did notice a TIME OUT announcement on the TV screen and thought to myself that they would automatically let us know when our 2 hours were up. Silly me! Of course they didn't do that. We stayed until our scheduled time of 10pm and had to pay for an additional 30 min ($120 versus the $96) AND on top of that tried to charge us for MORE time and claim that it was for the extra time. I was sober AF and disputed this right away! The guy ended up taking it off our bill. My fault on this one! But just putting it out there so you're aware. *I did read a review on Yelp (after the fact, of course) that if they have another booking scheduled after your time slot, they'll start getting you packed up and ready to go like 20 min before your time ends. (This place seems to get busier later in the night hours _10PM and on. More crowds were coming in as we were getting ready to leave)4. They have you give them your ID for deposit purposes and with all the crap that happened while we were trying to pay, THEY FORGOT TO GIVE ME BACK MY DL!!! Ughhh!!! Now hoping I'll be able to call them and request that they mail it back to me. I am most definitely NOT driving all the way back there for their mistake. (I'll update my review with how that situation goes!)5. The karaoke is just YouTube videos you can search up from home lol. I guess they have another system but it's not in English and hard to navigate. At least this is what my teenagers told me. Overall, this place is great in theory! The decor was the best part. Not worth the drive. Not worth the money. And not worth the headache of all the aftermath. Don't be fooled by the photos of the food (wish I would've taken photos myself to show you proof of what we were served). Don't be fooled by instagram! *** Gratuity is included in your bill!!! It's a service fee on the receipt. Just FYI. Hope this helps!

I went with a group of 4. Upon walking in, you are hit with a strong cigarette smell. Despite that, I gave this place a chance because of the Sanrio decorations. However, you have to pay much more for those rooms. I went to a regular booth, and there were hardly any amenities. It felt like I was doing karaoke at home. The system was outdated. They don't have a scoring system, and a lot of it was in Chinese. They didn't even have a space bar!! How was I ever supposed to look up songs? The lady who came to help us said the system does not have space bars. Then when we went to pay, they taxed us and charged us a service fee despite not serving us anything!! I've been to two other karaoke places, they would have never treated me this way!!

We were looking for a venue for a birthday party - the rooms are really cute, and REALLY wanted to book our party here. Tried a small room while we there to check the place out, but left early because of the overwhelming smell of smoke that permeates the building. If you are a non-smoker, you'll get a headache the minute you walk through the entrance, its so strong.

The decorated rooms are so cute & fun and they have a photo area where you can take pics with the Sanrio characters! I went with a party of 5 and didn't take part in the food or drink, so I can't comment on those, but the guy who served us was really nice and we all had a great time. The song selection interface might be a bit difficult to use since it's in Chinese, but you can also just switch to YouTube instead and put on lyric/karaoke videos like that.

I visited this place yesterday after seeing it on Instagram and seeing how cute the Hello Kitty room is. The location itself is in a shopping center and outside there were 2 homeless men who harassed me and the ladies I was with. It was super uncomfortable because they were walking up and down the shopping center asking for money and getting super close to shoppers. The bar is on the second floor and it was pretty quite when we walked in idk if we were early or that's the vibe. Anyway The workers were very helpful and nice and we ordered drinks and food and they came out really fast. I will say it's pretty pricey but honestly worth the price because we had such a good time singing and enjoying the food, drinks, and company. This was my first time at a karaoke bar so I wasn't sure how it worked but they charge for the room by the hour. So if you want the hello kitty room it's $100 and hour but if you want a regular room it's $30. There's also an automatic 18% service fee to your bill and you order food through a QR code the offer so ordering is pretty easy but they didn't have any of the hello kitty food or the other food advertised on here so just be aware.

The fact that this place has Hello Kitty themed rooms was reason enough for me to come here. My hubby threw me a Hello Kitty Karaoke Birthday party here and it was one of the best bday parties I've had. The rooms were so cute, drinks were kinda pricey but very tasty, plus (we always pre-game). I don't remember if we ordered food. Music selection was decent BUT for future reference they should add more English songs.. definitely K-pop dominate.
