Pharaoh Karaoke Lounge

I swung by here with 15 other friends recently for my birthday celebration. Pharaoh was the best spot for a huge party like mine and they accommodated us with a walk-in to the biggest room available. They have multiple rooms here but the one we got was the biggest I've ever seen in a karaoke spot. The room was spacious, well lit, and the package that we ordered came with enough drinks (soju + beer) and water/soda. We were all ready to hang out and party in the room. The staff were so kind to give us their attention when we wanted more drinks or needed anything. We stayed here for about 4 hours and had such a great time. Thank you to the staff for being so amazing!

Went to this Karaoke lounge with a couple of friends. The place looks cool that is the only pro in this review. Cons, there are several to start their selection for songs to karaoke was completely outdated and limited if you consider how much they charge for two hours over $200 (max 4 people). Songs had to be chosen from a big catalog that was organized very oddly with most songs/ artists being Korean which is totally fine but a warning of that would have been appreciated. What we paid included some soju bottles, six beers, and an appetizer with the two hours ok karaoke of course. I definitely recommend eating elsewhere. Overall I do not recommend this karaoke place knowing that there are much better options available.

Great place for a couple of film grad students to let loose and have a great time! We ended up staying an extra hour. Once we learned how to work everything we had a blast! Everyone sung their hearts out and put on their best performances. We had an XL room, didn't have all the songs that we wanted to perform but we made the most of it.

So much fun!!!! Great drinks and song choices. I reserved a large room to celebrate my birthday and I would 100% do it again. The staff were so attentive and friendly I felt so welcomed the moment I walked in!! Parking was very easy as there is a structure right by the lounge.

Karaoke spot with private rooms. You should make a reservation in advance by calling them (online reservation isn’t available). We got a small room for 7 girls, and it was a good size (there was still space for a couple more people). You have to put your credit card down at the beginning and then they’ll charge you at the end. The room reservation came with a choice of (mandatory) two drinks packages - we got the option with 3 bottle soju (they have peach, grape, strawberry, and apple) and 7 bottles of beer (we got Heineken). You also get a main dish (we got the fried appetizer plate as the employee suggested), and it came with various bites like spring rolls, fries, chicken nuggets, etc. It was $190 for the first hour then $30 each hour thereafter. We ended up staying for 4 hours. There’s a varied selection of songs (both English and non-English). There’s a thick book where you can choose to key in the songs. My main gripe is that they didn’t have Sugar, We’re Going Down by Fall Out Boy or any MCR/Paramore songs, but my inner emo kid still survived. They even had tambourines in the room. Water bottles are extra (no tap water). Overall, it’s a fun spot where you can really belt your heart out in the privacy of the room.

This place is really nice. The rooms are fun, the bottles are right and the food is tasty. The staff is very attentive and friendly.

Lots of fun! Great Customer service.. Very clean and great food!!

I never knew I had the pipes of an Angel I came through killing my vocals, every song I sang had Grammy written all over it, the fact that a music producer wasn’t present while I was dishin out the greatness is a loss to all record labels I could be the next Justin Bieber at least the next lil pump, holla at me or my road manager, we will perform at your next baby shower.

Love this place. Great prices and song selection. All the employees are so welcoming as well!

The staff is very kind and attentive! The room is clean and there is a wide selection of music to choose from! I would highly recommend!

Service and offerings are great. best karaoke in Korea town. Post korea bbq this is the best ktown option for late night fun

Such a fun night and great environment! They were speedy with their replies and super friendly. We had the best time !! Celebrated my little sister's bday and everyone had a great night. Definitely recommend for a birthday party with friends.

This is a nice karaoke place in LA. You can call or text them to reserve for your party. They do ask for a card on file just for deposit and reservations purposes. They give you options for reservations which Includes the hours and food/drinks options. The rooms are well lit and has great song selections. Personally I do feel like there are better karaoke places such more affordable pricing but if you're looking for a late night spot - this place isn't too bad.

What a fun night at Pharaoh over the weekend! My friend rented one of the larger rooms to host his birthday party. We were 12-15 guests and all had a great time! We felt that four hours went by fast. The package included plenty of drinks (loved the grape and other flavors of soju!) and appetizers. The " karaoke book " was extensive and contained many international song options, including Chinese and French. Spacious room, user-friendly setup, pleasant staff, energetic vibe, and clean bathrooms nearby (in the hallway). Plenty of dedicated parking next to the building on Serrano Ave, $3 with validation.

Great place for any size group to gather together and have a fun night. The rooms are spacious and well ventilated. All the staff speaks English so it's very accommodating to non-Korean speakers. Our group had a great time and made some fun memories. The reason for the three stars is it was EXPENSIVE! We may have been given a very pricey option because we didn't have "reservations." We had to order food that was included in the package but we just came from dinner so didn't even touch the food. Total waste. The table and parts of the couch was sticky and clearly hadn't been wiped down in a while. The attendants never checked in on us unless we called them. Just expected better service and cleaner space for the price we paid. Finally, there were many songs our group was looking for that wasn't offered in the binder or f songs.

Came here with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday! We had a great time overall but had a little trouble using the remote control. We had to ask for help a few times. The food was good too!

Honestly this is a great spot. Just me and my two homegirls in a "small" room and it was amazingggggg First time here and it was such a vibe Food was GREAT. Drinks were great. And the service is very attentive WILL COME BACK

SO FREAKING FUN. Closes late, and I enjoy the package options. My friends and I group of 7 opted for the 300 dollar package which has a platter, beer and soju! That was enough to get us through 3 hours. Service was really quick too and everyone was very nice. I enjoy that there were two screens front and back to sing along. It was difficult to choose songs because a lot of the song lists were in Korean and took us a bit to find which songs to play!

Pharaoh Karaoke Lounge is a great spot for a night out in LA. I came to visit my cousin who lives in the downtown LA area and this is one of her go-to spots. Our whole family was visiting and karaoke is one of our fav pastimes so this was a great choice for an evening out. The vibe here is so fun and the room that we were in was large. The service was super attentive and helpful. The room was clean and the food/drinks were great from what I can remember. Overall, a great spot to sing your heart out!

Very good sound speakers Ver good food and drink services Will come back!! They have English, Korean, Japanese and Chinese songs Not the best selection though!

I looked up a karaoke place super last minute for a large group of 10 people around 10pm and found Pharaoh via Yelp, and had a great time with my group here! I had heard from a Korean friend that it might be sketchy and was skeptical at first, but we ended up having a great time here purely on karaoke and had a lot of fun! We were given a large room although we asked for a medium room and they mentioned its because the AC doesn't work as well (there was a fan in the room), it ended up being about $300 for 2 hours (for 10 people), and we ended extending for an hour and ordering extra drinks. The pricing felt reasonable, and they give you some drinks and food for the package. The song selections were also decent! We were able to find a lot of English and Japanese songs that we were looking for without too much struggle, and didn't have to use the YouTube version at all. Overall we had a good experience although there were some interesting characters and girls walking around the area.

I have been to Pharaoh more times than I can count. I always come here either for a special occasion or just the end of a long night in ktown. Every time I come I am so taken care of even when I am annoying and ask them to put in a specific song. They are so nice and accommodating it is the closest you can get to a classic NRB experience in La as possible. Love you Pharaoh!!

Highly recommend Pharaoh. Celebrated a friends birthday here, rented one of the bigger rooms for 15+ people, we had tons of space, service was quick and easy, and their food and drink options were great.

Loved this place! Came here for our friend's bday and we had such an amazing time! We book a room for 7 and had some soju and apps! We even booked an extra hour because we were having so much fun! Food was alright, it was mostly mozzarella sticks and other fried food on a platter, definitely good to eat when you're drinking!

Popular kareoke spot. Spent about $600 total with tip included on this room. It was a lot of space for a group of 6 but they were booked on reservations. This room had 2 options (either a bottle or 6 soju bottles with beer). Both included 3 appetizers. They didn't have water on tap and sold arrowhead water bottles. (I say arrowhead bc you either like it or you don't) This place is colorful and has neon art everywhere. It's probably a bougie spot compared to the other places in the area and cost more than the other spots in Ktown. I can't speak for the other rooms since this was my first time Room 19 had 4 tables in the center, each with 2 chairs and the outskirts both had chairs lined up behind the counters. It also had a cool stage and idk if it's the singing or not but the scores were always better when the persons/people sang on stage! Recommend booking this place with a larger group or company kareoke night. They had the button like at Asian restaurants that alerted the hosts whenever you needed to order something. Service was great and everyone was very prompt! Highly recommend this spot! Will come again.

Great service and beautiful interior. This venu can accommodate large groups and has a wide variety of songs. Definitely one of my favorite places for karaoke.

I just turned 40, and I was a bit nervous about finding the perfect spot to celebrate my birthday. A few weeks ago, I went to Vegas, where a friend took us to a karaoke place. With most of my friends being musicians, DJs, or just generally lively, I thought, "This will be PERFECT!" I live in Orange County, but most of our friends are in LA, so I didn't have a chance to check out karaoke venues before my birthday. However, I did my research by reading reviews and exploring options on Reddit. I ultimately went with Pharaoh Karaoke, and I'm so glad I did! We had an absolute blast! About 20 of us rented the XL room, which had YouTube connectivity, allowing us to search for almost any song we wanted. We opted for a package that included three entrees, a bottle of liquor, and several beers. To top it all off, they surprised me with a complimentary bottle of champagne for my birthday! It was one of the most fun nights I've had in my ten years living in LA. I'll be recommending this place to everyone I know. Now we just need a location in OC! Thank you for an amazing night!!!

Came here on a whim cause the co-workers wanted an after karaoke spot. Service and entire staff were all super nice and welcoming. The main problem I had with this place was the majority of the Bible jumbo book of songs were in Korean. I wish they had more English songs in the book... the controller was hard to figure out to search English songs too.

Now that I have been to Pharaoh's three times I think it's time to finally write a review. The first time I came here was for my partner's birthday. We reserved a large time which could hold 15+ people. You're able to text a number found on their website in order to reserve a room a head of time. The process is pretty easy and straightforward. That giant room was easily the biggest karaoke room I have ever been to. We could have easily fit 30+ people in there. The service and song selections were fantastic! Everyone in the group was able to find something they wanted to sing. Our two other times we had normal size rooms and we reserved one of those ahead of time, while the other time we did walkup. Both worked for us but if you have want to guarantee a room then I could suggest reaching out to reserve. Everyone there is extremely nice and helpful! Also, shoutout to their restroom because they have brand new toothbrushes for you to use after a wild night of drinking + singing!

We had a server named Jack who was very friendly and helpful, and kind of funny. Big shoutout to Jack! We had a reservation here for a friend's birthday. I was sharing the space with some people I had just met, but who were also gathering for the same friend. The security at the front checked to make sure we did not bring in outside alcohol, as we needed to buy it from the establishment. I really enjoyed my time here. They had songs I wanted to sing. I wish I learned how to use the microphone properly because my first song was ruined by my lack of voice in the audio. I still had a blast. I sang in three languages. The drink options were fine. I enjoy a good soju. We also bought some pizza and beer. Truly karaoke snacks.

Great service and great times! Clean rooms and bathrooms, if you care. Have been here multiple times to sing our lungs out...

THIS PLACE IS SO COOL they accommodate for really large parties, the rooms are huge and soooo clean we had a party of 9 ppl and got the large set with cass beer and 21% jeju soju (not a fan tbh) plus a fruit platter the service was absolutely amazing, despite having to deal with me and my friends' drunk asses, our server was so kind and attentive! he even gave us a free bottle of champagne for my friends bday which absolutely fked us up LOLOLOLOLOL but it was so lit

Parking- there's a convenient parking structure which is connected to the building and you take one floor down to the basement level and the place is amazingly lit, colorful and fun! They validate so major PLUS!!! Service- they have a call button so they check on you when you want otherwise they're super sweet about knocking every time they approach the door. Great great people working here as all are super friendly and accommodating! Bathrooms- weird thing to rate but they had super clean ones with great mirrors! And they had tooth brushes and mouthwash, Asian amentities are next level always lol Cost- we love that they make everything all inclusive so no tipping required MAJOR YESSSSS, hate worrying about tipping so this just makes it super easy. I found for a two hour room, it was super reasonable and comparable to other karaoke spots. We celebrated a birthday so we got a champagne bottle comp'd and the room came with drinks and a huge sized appetizer! Highly recommend and would come again!

Shoutout Kenny, Bella, and Marro the manager! When I tell you that this is the best karaoke spot in LA!!! It IS! My friends and I had a BLAST! A bottle of patron for $60 extra on top of a $300 2hr package that came with 2 appetizers with a bottle and chaser. They were so sweet!

Staff is super friendly and the lounges are pretty cool. Great for parties of 8 or more.

Had a great time with friends celebrating my husband's birthday! There was plenty of English songs for us to jam too!! If you're looking for a fun time with friends the staff here are really attentive and do a good job of checking in on your party. Also easy to park here.

LOVE this place! I had a birthday bash and the service was superb, the rooms super clean, drinks and food were also very good and the selection of Karaoke songs is endless! Will be back for a few fun nights! Highly recommend them for a good time with your friends! Prices are reasonable for the the type of venue!

Had a good time, but it's just pretty expensive for what you're getting. The food was decent! Scarfed the pizza down. The songs were all in Korean so the search function was super difficult. There was also a ton of reverb on the mic, not the best karaoke. The main reason it gets a 3 is because the staff was super rude. Seating us they were rude, and kicking us out rude as well. Couldn't even use the bathroom without getting a strange look. Or even just go sit at the bar they made us leave. Otherwise had a fun time screaming!

It was a little sketchy getting there, but it's an adventure! My friends and I made up a party of 6 and had a medium sized room to ourselves. We ordered the fried food platter and Soju+beer option. The soju and beer was able to keep all 6 of us on a good level but pre gaming is always a good idea haha. We extended our room for another 2hrs for a total of 4hrs! Time went so fast! We were singing our hearts out. The customer service was fantastic! The hosts were so attentive and helpful. There were so many places to take pictures! The vibe is so aesthetically pleasing and pretty. The bathrooms have the best lighting, mouthwash, and covered toothbrushes. We love to see it.

Best place for birthdays. Must come. Bring your mamma your kids yo loved ones. This place is the Bomb like the bomb

As much fun as this was, the communication at Pharoah's both in writing and over the phone is not good. It's so much fun in there, and they let you pack people in (but don't bring food or extra stuff because it's a charge). I recommend the soju and beer package over hard alcohol. The low lights and the noise level really help get the energy going, and the decor in the basement like business is reminiscent of a Los Vegas venue. It's camp and fun and Y2K. Great for bdays and close to kiss kiss bang bang and break room 86 for Afters We had a blast, but not before I had to argue pricing with the manager for 20 minutes who kept telling me I "called the wrong place". They rang us up for a package they told us we did not have to buy, and told us there's no way that their staff made a mistake. Meanwhile, I believe their staff was doing their best, but the communication was not right and I asked them 3x if we needed to buy a package and they told me I only needed to rent a room. So the price increased from 160$ for 2 hours of a room to 750$. Thankfully the manager conceded and let us pay for the 500$ package, which was still a lot, but we took it and stayed.

Highly recommend pharaoh!! Incredible service from the minute we walked in. We got a large room which was perfect for our group - we paid $450 and got plenty of soju, beer and food included!. Also massive song selection, you'll find anything you need. Definitely will be back.

I had a blast at Pharoah the night that I went. I was a bit apprehensive about going at first since my friend had mentioned there would be 30 people, but eventually my husband expressed that he wanted to see what it was like and so we went. Surprisingly, around 50 people showed up! I mean, good to know that they have the capacity to host that many people if you need a place for late night outings that's still somewhat intimate. It's kind of hidden, but Pharoah Karaoke is located on the corner of Wilshire and Serrano. I don't know what it was like pre-pandemic but the vibes were absolutely fire for me because I loved how outrageously bright it was and it had like this EDC/Super Mario vibe because of all the colorful lights and fun décor. It's visually stimulating so if you're the type of person who doesn't like stimulation overload, this might not be the spot for you. Location-wise, it's not easily locatable unless if you are looking for this place specifically. It's in the same building as the golf range. We were able to park in the Aroma Parking structure next door--which was only $2.00 with validation. After I parked, I went down the first level and there were doors that lead up to the building and then you'll see elevators to the right. Went down to the basement, where you were greeted by hosts. I'm not 100% sure if this place is reservations only, but my friend John had to because of how big our group was. He probably booked the biggest room for all of us, which came with buckets of alcohol, soju, drinks, and I also recall there being food / snacks in the room. You have the choice to order more food/drinks if you want, but because we were there for activities, we went straight to singing. I'll admit, for a large room like we had, I was surprised they only had two mics. I understand that's normal, but I think it would have been great if they gave you the option to have multiple mics especially for larger parties. In addition, I think the remote that we had to use in order to input the music was a bit difficult to use. Luckily my husband is Korean so he was able to help with everyone inputting their songs in, but I'm sure it was unfair for him being pulled away from whatever he was doing. I feel like there should have been easy instructions somewhere to help you use the remote. Those were my only complaints about this place. It's one of the better karaoke spots I've ever been to. Maybe it's the flashing lights that did it for me and the people I met that made it all worthwhile... I will admit, this is probably my place I'll host an event with my closest friends as I know they'll also have a blast. Other things to note: Bring your ID's as it's only 21+. They incentivize you to post something on social media--if you do so, I believe you get a free drink (one per room). Also, the bathrooms have toothbrushes, so after a night of eating raw garlic with your KBBQ--you can brush your teeth there. Not that I did but at least they've got you covered. Staff is very friendly and the customer service is decent. The one other downside of this place though, is how pricey it is. Some people in the group have mentioned it too but we all came here to have a good time. Unless you are hosting a big party like the one we attended, it might not be worth the atmosphere. There are plenty of other spots to sing your heart out as well without all the bells and whistles. Anyways, have fun and thanks for the fun memories Pharoah!

I came here for a groups of friends for a friend's birthday party. Although the set up is very nice, staff was very pushy and dismissive towards the end that the entire night was ruined by how rudely we were rushed out starting 15 mins before reservation ending with constant staff stop bys and interrupting birthday boys goodbye/thank you speech and arguing they need to square away bill. No one was trying to leave bill outstanding but it just came off very rude and rushed after spending so much money there

Came here for my birthday on a Wednesday night. No one else was there which was nice. Service was really fast and we got a free champagne bottle for the occasion. Song list is extensive and the room was nice and spacious for about 10 of us. I had a great time. Would come again!

So fun!! We did a large room for our group of 10! Plenty of space with comfy couch and room in the front for the singers ;). We stayed within their big selection of fun pop songs to choose from!! The lights, sound and screen make it such a great experience. Our favorite plate was the wings. So good! Service is also very quick and helpful!!

Love love love Pharaoh's! It's my go to spot if I'm in K Town! I've never had to wait too long for a room, but if you go on weekends, I would recommend getting a reservation! They have set menus where you can get 2 hours, a few bottles of soju, a few beers, and an appetizer for a set price, based on how many people you have. They have a pretty good selection of English and Korean songs, and the rooms are pretty spacious with good lighting. I go here probably once every two or three months, and they're open late, even on weeknights.

Pharaoh is hands down the best Karaoke spot in LA. Very professional service from the time we called to make a reservation, through the service we got once we had our room. Staff is very friendly, and the location is nice and super clean. The room itself had a great sound system, and was really easy to use. The food and drinks were great too, and we'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this spot for a group party or a night out.

This place was full of energy. The service was quick but if it's your first time you might feel rushed. The packages come with a small bottle of liquor or soju with beer. You have to learn how to use the keyboard but if your party has had some drinks, it might take longer to figure it out. Overall, it's a must try for anywhere who hasn't been to a karaoke spot with private booths.

This is a close to a perfect karaoke experience as you can get without a ticket to Asia. The vibe - This venue is located in the basement floor of a regular looking business building. You take the elevator down and are transported to a neon narnia of karaoke dreams. The place looks and smells like a mid-tier hotel in Seoul or Taipei. The medium room was spacious and had more than enough room for our group of 6. The service - Absolutely excellent! You get an assigned waiter who is very knowledgeable of the Karaoke system and the menu. There is a call button inside the room and our waiter gave us a last call reminder for alcohol. The food - I really hope no one is coming here for the food but what they do have to offer is pretty decent. The most packages include alcohol and food our group got the beer & soju combo with the fried platter and spicy rice cakes. Nothing to write home about but definitely hit this spot as far as drinking food. This is a great place for anyone who enjoys karaoke and excellent crevice. If I lived in the area, I would be here on a weekly basis. Bonus points for having tooth brushes, toothpaste and mouthwash in the bathroom!

Came here for my birthday and had a great time. The booking agents were very responsive in getting everything set up for me. My only complaint would be that the karaoke system was pretty difficult to use, especially if you're inebriated. They also informed me that I could play whatever songs on YouTube I want with a USB cord but this was alot more difficult in practice. We had to take a seat cushion off and it just really didn't work.

Had a great time for a friends bday! Highly recommend! The food and service were great we loved it.

Was a little on the pricier for what we were given. The food portions were SUPER small especially for each dish being $20+. The list of songs didn't include a lot of popular artists. Luckily we were able to link our phone to the system to do certain songs on our phone but then the sound wasn't as good so it was a little chaotic. At the bar, they "ran out" of well tequila which was annoying because it then forced us to get "premium" alcohol. Which didn't feel right. I think if they ran out, they should've offered the premium drinks for a discount price for the inconvenience at the bare minimum. The service was nice though, we had a very nice waiter who was attentive. Just definitely wish we got more bang for our buck. Might return, might not.

Very friendly, great service, had a great time! Food and drinks were good. We were able to bring our own cake in. No technical issues.

Definitely the epitome of karaoke. It was spacious, food & drinks were delicious, and most importantly, the variety of music were available. We called last minute on a Saturday night after attending a wedding in downtown LA and our friend was able to get us a room that sat comfortably, 15-20. Honestly, not much to nit pick because service came pretty quickly. Also, hard to comment on pricing because we were all under the influence but I recall it to be comparable with other places in town. Will be back the next time we visit LA :)

DIRECTIONS (hard to find): after 7pm, the doors next to Starbucks are locked! Go down Serrano St. and on your left between the buildings you'll see a sign for Pharaoh. Head into the alley through the double doors on your left. Take elevators to basement! Pharaoh is hands down the best karaoke in K-town if you're looking for a good night out. Things to note: - No hourly option! They go by packages that depend on the size of your party. It seems intimidating at first, but it's actually quite affordable if you have the full size of the party for each room. - Phone connection to karaoke machine! If they don't have the song you want, you can plug and play from Youtube and the sound system + vibes does make it way better than an at home experience. Free wifi password listed at reception desk. - Staff are super quick and friendly! Ring the bell in your room and someone will take your order within minutes. You never have to leave the room. - Bathroom...! There are toothbrushes, toothpaste, and mouthwash in the bathroom which is amazing since most people come straight from dinner and this keeps me from being breath-conscious - Parking available under Aroma Spa and Golf structure adjacent to the karaoke. Get validation! It's $2 at the gate.

We had a blast on my birthday party, spent 3 hours there We had a few compliments oh the house as well, which was super nice! The prices are reasonable, food is delicious, space was fun
