If u're not a karaoke expert & don't feel like getting up in front of a group of people this spot is perfect. They pass around the mic & u can sing at ur table, by the bar or in a circle of friends.

Alex Kremer

Get a private room and karaoke to your heart's content. The price of scotch is really reasonable!

Lien Tran

Love Japas 38! Jun was the best - such a friendly guy and treated us well for the 3 hours we were there. I used to lived in Japan and this is my favorite karaoke box in NYC.

Monica Cullen

Private karaoke rooms with a strict policy on time. Once your two hours are up you will be offered one hour for 10$ a head without booze or 20$ a head with booze.

Josh Saletnik

I love that they let you get your own drinks at the bar even if you are in a private room .

Jazmin Hupp

Party Packages are the best deal. Reserve 24 hours in advance with 4+ for the alcohol + appetizer + private room setup of your choice. Ranges from $25-$45/person depending.

Vivian Kong

They certainly have some next lvl karaoke rooms . Open karaoke at the bar is great too! $1/song

Lucius Kwok

Japanese restaurant during lunch , karaoke bar at night. The lunch specials are worth coming here for.

Jennifer Shafran

Fun place for karaoke . Good space at main bar and the rooms are also quite good!

Rubina Fillion

Come for Happy Hour and get a ridiculous, huge tropical drink for less than $5.

Robert Schleihauf

Sitting at the bar is good. Getting Mika and masa's attention is better

Jeff Zappala

They are super selective on weekends. Don't be fooled

Yasmine Gomez

The Fugees' Killing Me Softly is a free drink winning song on Tues nights.

Mike Horn

Awesome Saki Bomb/Karaoke Place. I highly suggest to never order the all-you-can-eat fried food platter. It's like an apocalypse to your stomach lining .

Tony Kitch

Great place for parties...food is ok....but well worth the money for the drinks and a private room for karaoke !

Chaniya S

Sketchy place. Place wasn't crowded and took forever to get a drink menu. Drink prices are for liquor only, they charge extra for the mixer, which is really misleading. And double check your receipt.

Philip Nelson

Score about 95 on your Karaoke and get a free drink!

j

I spent most of 2007 at this Karaoke den, swillin sake bombs and singing myself hoarse to Mr Roboto and The Pixies. All-you-can-drink beer + sake + karaoke $25/person for two hours

Dramane Brown

Great time! The party pack is well worth it.

Chihaya

We found their basic party package was a good deal :)

eric bornemann

Tiny rooms but relatively cheap drinks .

Philip Paulsson

The best ever. No joke. The. Fucking. Best.

Jeff Zappala

Pick 1 song on a weekend. That's all you'll get.

Jason Ramsey

They can handle large groups

Joanne Kendall

I recommend the miso soup ! Delish!

ºDamian White º

Unlimited alcohol , songs , private room , some sushi...did I die and go to heaven?!?!

Tolani Olusanya

Had a great time sang my heart out

Jase

We're not gonna take it! NO! We're not gonna take it anymore!!

Jenny Montero

Good place good food

Joanne Kendall

I recommend the plum wine highly!

Norman P.

Halp Hour!

Aron Feingold

You can't hear the mics at this place so if you actually want to hear what people are singing go somewhere else. When you ask them to turn it up they don't know what to do.

Katie Safrey

best karaoke in manhattan - go right after work for their half price house wine and beer happy hour

Eddie Mansfield

Get there before 7pm. Half price drinks and pitchers of beer .

Robyn Torkewitz Fink

Don't eat the sushi .

Erica Harper

Don't eat the food!!

Lori Gish

Someone in the bar stole my credit card data and sold it. July 1 2017. Don't go there

Michael M

Good song selection but the crowd at Chorus seems to chose more upbeat songs .

Levi Ruppert

Great sushi great karaoke !

Anthony Popeo

Overpriced, small rooms. Don't bother—plenty of better locations a couple blocks south.

Kate L

No Beastie Boys or 'Only the Good Die Young'! That's like sacrilegious.

Josh Whelchel

Go get splintered - order sushi - sing songs that you shouldn't - have a sushi-fight (or not) - and try not to break stuff

Patti Kilroy

Song list isn't so great. Go to chorus on 32nd.

Sugeiry Rodriguez

Horrible place!!! The staff in this location is horrible and very unprofessional. Went here with a large party and will never go back.

Warren Wan

3527-12. It's on.

Bill Van Pelt

I would keep walking to 32nd to Chorus karoke. Music selection wasn't that good (didn't have "I'm on a boat" :-( ) and had a poor atmosphere.

Erik Nordlander

4040-02, do it.

Erin Lane

Not a fan. Long story, don't ask questions.
