Chopsticks

We had their sweet and sour chicken and it was actually really good. The rice was fresh and fluffy and the chicken was crispy and covered in a delicious, sweet and sour sauce. Karaoke was very fun. Operation of the karaoke unit was very professional and the audio was a spot on. No distortion and you could actually hear people sing. The song selection was, of course great and the ambiance and drinks were on par with what you'd expect on a popular bar in Portland. This is a great place to meet with some friends sing some songs. Have some good food and drink some too.

Fun bar that hosts Emo Kareoke nights the first Wednesday of every month and its our fav night to go out to sing! Good crowd, no cover fee.

KJ last night Alfredo was very rude to me and my two friends. One who does not drink heavy as she is basically sober cut her off for being too much….shes an introvert I’m surprised she even got up to sing what do you mean she’s too much it’s also karaoke you should put soul into it!!! Was rude to my date and made a comment about his intelligence because the ‘Z’ looked like a 2 on his slip. Annoyed with me because I forgot to put my name down I understand I made a mistake but you can be kind about it. Unreal behavior I usually have a great time when the KJ is the sweet pal with the dreads. There’s no need to make the karaoke vibes bad.

Saturday night 11/01, my friend and I decided to go to chopsticks right after they opened, and treat ourselves to some karaoke. I will preface the rest of my review by saying the bartending staff, doorman, and the other patrons were awesome. Very groovy folk, you can feel that they hold the vibes in this place together. When the first singer went up, the mixing of the sound was not doing well, the speakers cracking and popping like mad but I figured, hey, they have an extensive song list, and they had some new songs I wasn’t expecting to be on karaoke yet which was a lot of fun— I am reviewing 3 stars for the bizarre inconsistency of the KJ who was there last night. They got snippy with my friend for forgetting to put her name on her first karaoke slip (fair enough, we apologized and kept going), and then an hour later when our friend came to sing with us, he snapped at him too for how he wrote his name on the card. On my last venture up to the stage I tried to ask a question about the mic and I was a bit confused, but the KJ got very aggressive with me very fast, snapping that “the mic is FINE. It WORKS. Yeah. This is your LAST song.” … alrighty… i have been here three hours, and I had literally two Jell-O shots (bartender admitted they were pretty weak which is why I picked them, I’m not a big drinker) and a redbull and that was it. So that’s all three different people of my group he snapped at, two of which before they had even sung. I don’t understand how they did anything deserving of that much irritation. This was the beginning of the night, we were some of the less than a dozen people there. I want to say he was probably just having a bad night. The world sucks right now and we all are looking for a space to be able to Be, and not feel threatened. I don’t know why he felt the need to vibe check people multiple times last night, but it left such an uncomfortable confusion in my head that I don’t want to come sing there again. I just want to ask 11/01’s KJ to please be have patience with your customers. We didn’t want to ruin your night! We just wanted to sing. Your rules are written on sticky notes/signs that are not congregated in one clear space! You can only see them when you’re right next to the sound booth, and the sound is LOUD. I could barely hear myself sing. It’s a dark, loud bar. So it very much was like, damn, I’m sorry we had a bit of cluelessness. I have done customer service my whole life and I know how exhausting it is. But well meaning customers who aren’t being demanding? Why yell at them? he seemed determined to rain on our parade. I don’t get it. And he sang beautifully too the couple of songs he put in before it got busy, so I REALLY don’t get it. I thought the night was fun but these interactions got to me. At the karaoke bars I have been to before, I always tipped the KJ one big old tip before I left for the night. Was he mad we hadn’t tipped yet? I don’t know. But I don’t think a good karaoke night should make you genuinely wonder if you just spit in the kj’s cereal without realizing.

I really had an awesome time the dj was busy but I got to sing!! The dancing was really fun while people sang!! It only got 1 star less because the lady bartender with tattoos picked some other guy to serve when I was there first which wasn't cool...I'll never order from her.. but great place, awesome atmosphere, will definitely come back again!!

Karaoke was fun, definitely get there early cause the song queue does get pretty long. Staff is friendly and chill, which made up for how long the line can get when it’s busy. Didn’t try any food but the drinks are decent and also decently priced

Emo night is a complete elder emo sanctuary. I absolutely love this bar. They have a good drink selection including sours & some great CBD drink options. Emo karaoke night is everything an emo would hope it to be. xD Great place to have good time with good people! I heard so many great singers here!

Probably the best karaoke bar in the greater Portland area. Great service and fun place to go be a bit ridiculous with your friends.
