Sakura Karaoke Bar

Ripped me off on my birthday and were rude to my guests as well. I’ll never go back to this racist scam artist place. Employees steal from customers. Overcharged me on my credit card and lied about it. Rude to brown and people of color for NO REASON and are slow to refill water. Had to keep asking. GO ANYWHERE ELSE FOR YOUR KARAOKE NEEDS

Pricy but worth the vibe

Me and some girls from work booked a room for a Saturday night for 9-11. Although the room was super cute and private, the music selection was horribly lacking. We are millennials and expect more pop, hip hop and r&b songs. The karaoke system they have in the room was not user friendly. Great atmosphere but I’m thinking because they’re in China Town they may cater more to the Asian community? I wouldn’t go back and waste my money on the private room. They charge a 20% service fee and another $11 for taxes. We could have sung in the open space for free because no one was there when we left the room. The bar probably had about 15 people there max.

Absolutely love the reasonable drink prices. It costs extra to get a private room. Although cheaper if you hangout in the open area and everyone takes turns singing.

DO NOT GET A PRIVATE ROOM HERE. We arrived 5 minutes before our scheduled time, and it took 30 minutes to get into our room. The lady helping me said we could get 30 minutes added because back at the end to accommodate this; however, they came in to tell us we still had to leave at our original ending time later on, which means we only got 90 minutes of our 2 hour reservation. I complained, and their response was to attempt to gaslight me into thinking that I was originally late and that "their schedule didn't allow for us to get another 30 minutes." The karaoke machine was buggy; you could only search for songs and artists based on the first letter of the word, so it was impossible to find anything; half the songs didn't have lyric captions. They had a very limited selection of american music. They will charge you a 20% "service charge", along with charging you a 20% gratuity, even though there is no service given whatsoever in the rooms (we had to go up to the bar for our drinks). Go to another karaoke bar in Chinatown; odds are its better.

Came here with a large group last minute and they were able to get us a really nice room! Good food and drink selection, honestly had an amazing time. The only thing I would change is that it was a little difficult to find certain artists and music. We found that if you typed in "taylor swift" you wouldn't get any of her music, but If you type in "ts" it would pull up all of her songs. I would recommend either fixing the issue or having a one page guide in each room to help with searching! Overall had an amazing time, thanks!
