YD Karaoke Studio

Did a walk-in right after an early dinner with a group of 3 for an hour on a Saturday night and got a room immediately; when we left we heard the wait was up to 1.5 hrs so plan accordingly! $25/hr for our party size but every member of party required to purchase a drink, which basically doubled the cost. Cute basic karaoke room, still using binders of songs, felt like the selection was okay. Two single occupancy bathrooms (which were for some reason gendered).

Price worth it compared to other places in ktown, but don’t come in when that one girl worker is there. She acts and looks like she doesn’t want to be there and gives half-mediocre service to customers. Edit: The girl’s name is robin, courtesy to a reviewer mentioning her name

We’ve been going here for a while but the girl worker (Robin) really ruins your mood. She acts entitled and disrespectful + gives bad service. i come here to enjoy but i always find myself leaving after an hr bc of her.

Who would go to that bad place, Unreasonable surcharges and shitty environment. Hard to find the songs, Bad connection with phone if you want to play with your own music. very old facilities and no soundproof at all. Charge per person! Never heard of that, refresh my knowledge. And if extra person join at the last minute of the one hour session, you need to pay for the whole hour. Pls do not go to that place, sincerely pls!

Arrived here around 11 pm on a weekend. As u drive into parking lot, man in security uniform collects 5 dollars by cash or venmo and puts a paper ticket on your windshield. Bring cash. Write name on list at front desk w phone number. There were 3 groups ahead of us. No estimated waiting time given. Maybe 10 15min wait. Customers waiting outside mix of east Asian and white looking demographic. Inside people singing their hearts out and a million tambourines. Bathrooms one toilet per gender. Given mic cover but not sure if everyone uses it. Staff wear masks and disinfect the mics. Customers asked to use hand sanitizer before entering room. Each customer required to order at least one drink each. Can be water for 2 bucks or beers for 6. No soju. No byob. Order using qr code in rooms they bring it later. Inside the room it's clean. You can use the korean karaoke machine or search your songs on YouTube on the touch screen on the wall. Fan in room but no outlet found. It gets warm inside after dancing and singing. Customers must keep track of time themselves. On weekends you are asked how long you want to use the karaoke rooms. For 3 people 2 beers and one juice it was 43 dollars for an hour. Overall good experience.

They charged me $50 for wine corkage then forced me to pay $25 on Venmo gratuity ONLY on the wine when we were leaving. And when I asked them why I had to pay this on top our room payment and gratuity they had no answer and crumpled up the receipt and I still had to pay. What a scam. They should be reported for fraud. Oh forgot they only make you pay on Venmo..

We had a great time here! The staff is very fun and friendly and the valet parking guy was nice (you can still park yourself but you have to pay the small valet fee either way). They have a LOT of Korean songs, and a healthy selection of English and Japanese songs. The Chinese selection is pretty scarce, but they do have the classics. $40 per hour for a small group (5) was very reasonable. BE AWARE that the majority of the karaoke system is in Korean. They do have a translation paper for the keypad, but most else is in Korean. This was a fun aspect for us though. Thank you for a great time

Pretty reasonably priced and clean, you have to order some drink when you rent the room though. Large song selection they recently introduced YouTube onto their system and they have the typical karoke system too.

To go spot for Korean karaoke. Packed on weekends so plan ahead of time. Price is one of the best value ones in ktown considering their hardware. Like many places here, it uses the Korean TJ karaoke system which isn't friendly for non Koreans but once you figure out the buttons and way it works, it's much better than many other systems as it has a great catalog especially if you want to sing Korean songs. Audio is great and it's reasonably comfortable inside. Downsides are limited parking and you need to pay, preferred cash, not much to offer outside of singing and basic can beverages, and newcomers who aren't Korean or didn't come with Korean friends will have some struggles in the beginning. Staff is nice though and will help. If you're going for max value for karaoke or lots of drinks or food, maybe you won't feel it's great. If you're here for a good setup and singing experience for a fair price, this is it

We went here like two years ago, my friends and I enjoyed the experience so when I went here recently with my friends to celebrate my birthday last Sunday, the workers are nice and the place is decent but they do charge more on the weekends which is understandable. The snacks are what you pay for I guess but at the end they add a gratuity tip which is only cash/venmo. They don't even let you choose how much tip you wanna put, they tell you how much and expect you to give it. We were about 8 people and honestly they didn't really do much service. We just asked for two soju bottles and that was it. We used YouTube to sing our songs and it kind of kept pausing with every song but it wasn't that bad. I'd say there's better karaoke rooms out there.

Came here after my engagement party and it was a pretty disappointing experience for the price. It's not the most expensive but the machine to select songs is just directly connected to YouTube and will be filled ads between songs. Takes some time but you'll figure it out. There's no tap water, only bottled water. Service is ok, but at the end it's a bit shady with having to pay on two different platforms, the charge for the room can be on credit card but the tip/service fee on Venmo is the sketchy part. Additionally it is supposed to be a 15% minimum service charge but they upcharged on their calculations. Honestly it would be easier and cheaper to just do karaoke at home.

The place was decent and clean. Perfect place to have a group of friends and sing with. You have to show your ID first. You can only pay cash or venmo. No credit card .. huh? Anyways. It's a nice place to go. The parking g was small and packed. But metered parking is free after 7pm. There was only little snacks they give u in a bowl.. popcorn. Pretzel. You have to buy 1 drink . The strawberry soju was pretty good. The service was quick and friendly. I rec to go there.

Literally such a fun activity to do with friends!! We decided to go to Young Dong Nohrehbang and has a blast! It was a little bit tricky figuring out how to work the machine that enters the songs for you but after we got some help - the fun began. We also followed them on IG and posted a picture on my story which got us 3 drinks and 3 free snacks! If you're looking to having a great time, definitely come to YD Studio!

Snacks: 3/5 Drinks: 3/5 Entertainment: 5/5 Price: 5/5 Bathroom: 4/5 This is a great place to go to do karaoke on a budget! We had a lot of fun with our friends and we sang our hearts out. The rooms are comfortable and well decorated. My one critique is that I wish there was a larger discography of American songs compared to the binders of Korean songs.

When in k town one must karaoke. We didn't have a reservation on a Saturday night, but we were the first to arrive just before opening and we sang for 2 hours. We enjoyed the soju and drinks and the sound was great. The rooms are smaller and our room windows were open, so you see everyone and everyone sees you. But other than that we had an amazing time.

Came here with some friends the other night to have a good time. I thought it was a little odd that they made us order a drink per person just to do karaoke. On their menu, it said they offered a free promo meal if we posted on instagram just to be told they actually don't do it. Makes you think they should update their menu. The customer service is just outright disappointing, specifically the girl at the register. It seems like there is multiple reviews talking about her as well. Makes you think again they need to maybe teach her some customer service. I would also like to point out that after we paid, it felt like they were being pushy to offer tip which can only be cash or venmo. I don't remember the last time I tipped at karaoke, I guess I wouldn't have mind if the worker wasn't giving attitude the whole time. Definitely don't recommend this place.

This karaoke spot is cool and all if you are trying to find a place that is open late. Has the option of doing YouTube which is what I prefer every time. Unfortunately the girl that works the register is always giving attitude and just in general super disrespectful towards her customers. Came in exactly 1:51am to our room to tell us we are done while other rooms were still finishing their songs. She let out a "oh" as we told her we were actually done. As I'm paying, has the audacity to ask for tips via Venmo/cash. I don't know about you, but this isn't a restaurant. It's karaoke with little service. You made us order a bottle per person just to attend. Take notes on having better customer service(maybe hire nicer people) and overall a better place.

I came here with a group of friends and we had the best time! The song selection was huge -- everything from the latest K-pop and pop hits to throwback classics. The sound system was super clear, and the mics didn't cut out once (big plus). The staff were friendly and helped us get set up quickly. The room was clean, spacious, and had fun mood lighting that made it feel like a private mini club. Drinks were reasonably priced and came out fast!!

Incredibly unprofessional and rude behavior. Additionally, the girl working the register tried to force me to pay through cash/venmo, so I heavily suspect that this business is either blatantly dodging taxes or doing some type of fraud. They also message everything in a confusing manner to make you think that prices are cheaper (karaoke is a flat rate BUT each of your members are FORCED to purchase a drink that is not included in the rate and charged at a HEAVY premium. $8 per can is insane). Rooms were decent but I kept getting feedback during my karaoke session, which they failed to address multiple times. Additionally, this is the only karaoke where I wasn't given any mic covers so I have doubts about the cleanliness of the rooms/equipment that I was using. Either way, I would strongly recommend avoiding this place if you're looking to have a good time as any enjoyment you have in the karaoke rooms will be over as soon as you try to pay. The manager and other staff are involved in some suspicious business and it clearly shows in their attitude as they get defensive as soon as you question anything that they do.

After having dinner down the street, we found Young Dong Nohrehbang to have a little karaoke time. It was super affordable, it was less than $20/hour if I remember correctly, and we had to order one drink minimum per person. They had a good variety of drinks, from beer to soda and calpico. We had to wait for a little bit, but that was fine. The service was great, but I feel like it could've been a little cleaner, especially the tablets that were used to queue up songs. The screen was a little greasy and had smudges on it. The ads from youtube were annoying, but I won't dock points on that especially because of how affordable this spot was. Definitely recommend for an impromptu karaoke session with a couple of friends!

This place was really clean and the workers were really kind. Would definitely suggest this place over any other karaokes in Ktown.

First time was fantastic, great rates and friendly staff. The screens would lag once in a while but it wasn't horrible. 18+ means my underage friends could come, and since it was a week day we were able to extend. I even left a tip! Second time was much worse, on weekends, there is a one hour limit, the woman at the counter was quite rude. The karaoke was OK, youtube was alright but for some reason the queue kept getting cleared. Overall, I would have preferred to go somewhere more expensive to get a better experience. The rates were still cheap though.

YD is an oldie but a goodie, and it hasn't changed much - it's a solid NRB karaoke option for small and larger groups without the frills. Super affordable if you just want to come to sing for a couple hours. There's no crazy drink minimum, though you each have to get a canned drink. It's priced $8/person per hourwith a 4 person minimum, otherwise there's a small additional fee. We got a small room (#1) on Sunday at 6:30pm-8:30pm so it wasn't a busy time and we paid $64, and they ask for tip via cash or venmo. If you pay in cash there's a discount. The audio set-up and slight reverb are actually really good, so you sound the best!

Found this place through Yelp after extensive research lol. I really wanted to find a karaoke place that was good and affordable, this was perfect. Pricing per person was $8, we were a group of 4. Less than 4 I believe price is $32/hr overall for the room. Buying a drink was mandatory which to me was interesting since I'd never been to karaoke but after singing and yelling in a room for one hour it made sense to have water haha. Employee at the font was very friendly and did her best to accommodate us. Would definitely come back with friends or even by myself. So much fun

Super fun experience! This place is listed as "YD Karaoke Studio" on Google. They have private rooms with fun lighting. My friends and I sang our hearts out for 2 hours. It's $8 per person and then $32 per hour for the room. Seems like a lot of other places in the area were pricier. There were two microphones in the room, which worked great for our group of 4. I also LOVED that they had tambourines in the room so that we could play along with our friends while they sang. The karaoke system was super easy to figure out. It seemed pretty crowded. We got there at 7:30 so we didn't have a wait, but when we left it looked like there were a few groups waiting outside. Parking is valet only, but it was only $3, so I didn't mind. Their drink "options" are only a refrigerator in the lobby with canned sodas like sprite and coke and beer. I wish they had more options, but I had a great time here and I will definitely be back.

Came here over the weekend after eating Kbbq. This is a great spot to do karaoke at. The wait was not too long due to another group running behind. We did not have a reservation and were put in a room after less than ten minutes of waiting. There was reserved parking when we pulled up even though the shopping center was busy. There was a one drink minimum which we really did not mind because they had a good variety of drinks. We paid for an hour and there were five of us. The price was not bad for how many of us there were. The room was clean and the only complaint I really had was the ads being annoying. Other than that we had a blast and the place was pretty packed on a Friday night so you may want to make reservations.

Always late even if we make appointment. I get theyre busy but they should stick well with timing so we arent outside waiting for 20 mins. Its always "five more minutes"...

On Saturday night, our last spontaneous stop of a fun night was karaoke in a private room at YD Studio in KoreaTown! We were now a party of 8. We had so much fun! Party atmosphere with all the lights throughout the hallways & karaoke rooms! Private Karaoke Room: Lively; colorful, constantly changing lighting, variety of fun songs, great microphones, cozy seating, spacious, as well as a large center table. Price & Drinks: We were charged per person; great price. We each had to order one drink as well. Water is an option! Customer Service: Friendly, attentive & welcoming! Fun crowd as well. We also had fun talking to three other people that were waiting for a karaoke room, lots of laughs for sure! Haha! Down to earth atmosphere, loved it! Overall: YD Studio is a great place for karaoke! Looking forward to going back soon! What a fun time!

This place was a solid Korean karaoke spot with fun vibes, but the staff didn't communicate with my group that we also got drinks with our package. We were about to walk out of the place until one of the people in our group brought it up and spoke in Korean.

The best karaoke experience in K-town! The service was great and the ambiance was absolutely wonderful, making the whole night unforgettable. Will visit again

Id appreciate a better, clear communication. I said i was going to stay for 2 hours. But kicked us out after 1 hour saying theres another party that needs that room. But didnt even asked us if thats okay. Instead gave an attitude that they didnt do anything wrong. This was my OG spot with my friends so i got pissed. This short guy with bowl cut hair needs to learn how to operate properly. Or at least apologize for the misunderstanding then ill be ok with that but nothing like that. DO BETTER. Not coming here again and told others not to come here. They want to charge you for mandatory drinks per person and kick us out. Smh. Do better. There are better karaoke spots with better service and worth tipping but not here. Go to rosen.

Great location, great staff really good for groups and gives you change to sing your heart out.

Pleasant service and generally nice atmosphere, plus pretty affordable. The mandatory drink fee is unusual, but not disagreeable. The only thing that threw us off was that we were told there was no Youtube search, even though lots of reviews and google search indicated otherwise. I mostly ended up on my phone trying to find a song that the korean system would have that I would know, but there weren't many so I didn't really sing. I wouldn't mind coming back if we could figure out the youtube thing next time.

So unprofessional, especially the manager, a Korean male in his mid 30s to 40s with a bowl cut named Min? He takes advantage of people thinking they're intoxicated by saying I didn't show and put the money on the counter. He told me to get a lawyer and personally texted me to give me a warning to not accuse people, and that he's supposedly also the co-owner. It's cheap because that's what you're paying for.

Yummy food and fast service. Would come back again to check out their karaoke rooms. I think the music was a little loud though.

super cheap place to go karaoke :) room is big and spacious, great music selection! Didn't check out the food menu though. Staff was chill and attentive when needed!

service is decent, the workers r pretty nice and add hrs or extra time if the karaoke machine acts up. theres drinks like 2% or milkis, or alcoholic drinks if u like. pretty sure there's snacks too but most people seem to just have drinks, ur required to buy at least one drink per person but it's fine bc the karaoke is such good price here n drinks r only $2-3 my go to karaoke spot ! getting all my korean soul out here haha

I read the reviews and someone mentioned the food being good but we weren't given a food menu. We were also rushed out when we asked for two hours and were only given one, I just felt it was a bit disorganized.

Shockingly rude staff and poor customer service. I asked about their mandatory drink policy, where everyone must order a drink to enter, and I was yelled at. I was asked if I was literate and told to get out if I don't agree with their policy. Ambiance was neat and clean.

We love this place! I have been going to Nohrehbangs since I was a wee laddey, and this place brought me back to the heart and soul of the experience. First, Alex was so friendly and kind, he made us feel like our patronage was valued and was so welcoming. It was also affordable, especially compared to other studios in the area. My husband and I had a blast! The sound system was solid, room was clean, and they had a good selection of songs. We definitely will be coming back! Great place, thank you Alex for making our first time YD both happy and memorable.

100% recommend this place! Here's a few things to know before you go: Calling ahead does not reserve your spot, so when it is busy, you may end up waiting for a long time (for us it was one and a half hours). It is good to have something else to do in the meantime! Make sure to have ID on you as they check them at the door. Remote control is in Korean but they have a song list and all you have to do is press the right numbers. This is one of the few stores I found where you do not have to drink alcohol! Nice, spacious room (my group had five people) and incredibly good pricing. Would come here again!

What a fun time here! It's the most affordable karaoke place in K Town. My friends and I came here just to have some fun and we ended up staying for a lot of hours. You can hook up your YouTube to the tv so no song is off limits. They have beer and there's a one drink minimum. The rooms are super clean. I'll definitely go back.

they charge you for everythinggggg!!! the restroom are not cleann at all i saw a roach!!cheaper place at torrance and they wont charge u for brought drinksss, THEY CHARGED US $90

I called to make reservations and the person taking the phone call sounded drunk so I asked if they were under the influence, on top of the fact that there was loud music playing in the background. They answered no but continued to tell me they can't hear me. I felt like it might be a very unprofessional place so I told them nevermind on reservations. Two mins later, I got these texts from the place. This is harassment and it's not okay. I would not feel safe at this place. I asked my Korean friend what this says and she said he said he would block me and used a lot of cuss words.

They're strict about not allowing outside food or drink. They don't serve any soju at the place. Only beer, milkis and sodas. The karaoke videos are not the original music video. They play random kpop music videos in the background of American songs. The machine to choose music was also in Korean. It will take a couple minutes to learn the system if you can't read Korean. The couches and the door are pretty old. I would recommend making a reservation if you're going on a weekend at night.

Came here Saturday night as a third stop. Arrived around 10:00-10:15 ish and there was a big group waiting outside. I went inside and asked how long the wait was. There were two employees that were friendly. They said it would be about 1-1.5 hour wait and it would be worth calling Akko karaoke to inquire how long their waitlist is. In the meantime I put my name on the list. It was the same waiting time when I called so our group decided to stay. The worker came out not too long after and said the group in front of us didn't show so we were able to get a room! We were able to get in around 10:30. They explained it was $8 per person per hour. They also have a policy of purchasing a drink for each person in the room. Thankfully the drinks weren't too expensive. They also said you only stay the allotted time that you choose whether it be 1 hour, 1.5 or 2 hours. They have a paper that says they don't keep track of time so you have to be responsible. The karaoke room was small but it was super fun with my group. They had tambourines in the room. Microphone covers for $1. The drinks are ordered on an app. They were lightning quick with bringing the drinks. They also gave us a small bowl of Chex mix. Parking is available in the lot first come first serve. No valet. Had a lot of fun here.

Great spot to kick back and enjoy a couple of hours of karaoke. The rooms are clean and they sanatize mics and equipment everytime before hand. The worker named min was very accommodating and worked with my party to ensure we had a good experience!

If y'all looking for any private room karaoke spot in k-town just to have fun with your friends, I strongly suggest this YD Karaoke place. Most of the karaoke spot in k-town charge you over $150 for like 2 hours and they force you to buy alcohol beverages, but YD Karaoke only wants you to buy any soft drinks per person which is only 2 or 3 bucks??? Plus when two of my friends and I went, it was $25 per hour on WEEKENDS (too cheap). If y'all been to other k-town karaoke, you would know what I'm saying. But you should call ahead because they get busy too quickly on weekends!!

Great for any occasion!! I've been coming here with friends and family all throughout high school and college. YD is one of the safest karaokes in LA iykyk-- also really affordable compared to all the other places i've tried. Accommodates big parties and celebrations or more intimate settings. I'd go almost every weekend for a casual vibe and had my first date and 21st bday celebration here so it's been a staple for me. Despite only having like 1 person at the front desk, even when it gets really busy I can tell they try to be attentive. They also have bells in the room if u need anything. If you're in the area and want to experience koreatown to the fullest, you can't miss this place. The only thing to look out for is calling ahead on the weekends cuz they get pretty busy round then.

I had a great time, got seated quickly and really hand a good time. I like their selection of songs.

Went here with a couple of my friends to sing our hearts out! Love the ambience and the karaoke machine! The staff member was so helpful for translating music to us, as we were not able to speak Korean. The pricing is a bit high in comparison to other places I have been to. They are super willing to accommodate people that I was more than happy to tip them high. The machines though were a bit confusing as I am new to the Korean machine. Nevertheless, got used to it and it got easier and manageable. Rating 7/10.

Prices haven't gone up compared to 3 years ago. Reasonable prices compared to nearby karaoke bars. No beggars or peddlers allowed in.

No recomiendo ese lugar porque solo quieren a asu propia gente y no les gusta los Hispanos. El personal se burlo de nosotros por no tener un ID de Estados Unidos. Ni en los mejores lugares ordenan que tengan una identificaciones de Estados Unidos...

My friends and I stumbled across this place when we were searching for a karaoke place in ktown. It was busy so we put our name down on a list and waited outside. The wait wasn't too bad and soon enough they brought us inside the room. We only requested 1 hour thinking we could add more time if needed, but that is not the case. Whatever amount of time you request is all you get. Which is fair because they do have other people waiting. The prices were fair and there is a one drink minimum per person. The music selection was great and the rooms were quite nice. We had a really good time and will definitely be back here for more karaoke.

They overcharged us an extra $160 when I brought this up to him he refused to give me an itemized receipt and forced us to pay. I tried to call them and get hold of a manger but no response. I will be trying to dispute with my bank. BEWARE OF THIS PLACE

Everything was fine until the end. The person in front wanted a tip and stood there waiting until I gave it. Never have I had to tip anywhere else... add a 15% to your bill after.

They literally just use youtube bruh. U could do this at home. And they make u spend for a drink the drinks are mandatory
