You can sing as loud as you want!!
Get the fruit plate because it is the best fruit I've possibly every eaten.
Good selection of songs, but the selection isn't great. There are a surprisingly large number of songs from 1998-2008 if that is your scene. It is my scene and my friends and I sing it well.
Some people say that they aren't that nice to you if you aren't Korean. I don't know, I think it you just tell them what you want, the service is just fine! It is very clean and the people who work there are actually very nice!
After drinking, the videos that accompany the lyrics become more and more interesting! Psycho-analyze them!
I don't usually belt out classics from the 90's and 00's, but when I do, I SANG them out at Do Re Mi.
Was introduced to this place about a year and a half ago on the night of a breakup where you best believe I sang out all my heartbreak! I've been back a couple times since and its always been good times all around.
The establishment is really nice with clean rooms and friendly service on staff. The song offerings are pretty up to date and you can belt out your favorite hits from across multiple genres. For tohse unfamiliar with Korean Karaoke spots, you and your party can reserve your own room, which can keep the singing party intimate, for those of us who may be shy to grab the mic in other bar Karaoke nights.
Song selection aside, a BIG surprising plus was the fruit platter on the menu. They get some prime fruit from the H-Mart next door and I swear, those melons are some of the freshest I've ever tasted in the least expected spot. Other snacks worth getting include the Kimchee rice rolls and fish cakes.
They've got plenty of soju, liquor and beer in house and the pricing is reasonable. I appreciate that they make it a point to not service anyone overly intoxicated as they keep it still a fun spot for all patrons. Definitely a late night spot that's fun for all!
Do Re Mi is very clean and offers the typical Korean-style norebang songs... Â I always get thrown off by how well represented Radiohead is in the book. Â I guess a lot of Koreans like that band! Â Also, it is a little disconcerting to see Christian Rock Band "Stryper" so vaingloriously displayed in many of the "New Songs!" lists. Â Baby Jesus is crying right now.
Anyway, the one thing that differentiates this place from its counterparts in my hometown of Los Angeles is the insanely reasonable pricing. Â To wit: Â 2.5 hours of Karaoke, four 750 ml bottles of soju, 2 orders of yogurt soju, 12 beers and the final tally was $130! Â $130!?!?! Â That much liquor would've totaled the GNP of a small island country in my hood. Â
As out of towners, my Chicago based friend and I were shocked at how cheap it was, whereas the ATLiens just started mulling around for money. Â Immediately, both Chicago friend and I started fighting to pay the entire bill. Â We have this thing going where we like to take turns paying for each other and usually the people in attendance are included as collateral damage. Â
However, this doesn't preclude us (well, me at least) from trying to pay for the cheap shit and having the other foot the bill for the pricier stuff. Â Alas, he was quicker on the draw, and made sure to include a generous tip which he signed off with a flourish. Â Had mad girls hitting him up afterwards too saying, "Oh, you so generous" and "Oh, why you pay for everythang', you so hendsome" and things of that nature. Â Yes... Â that's my best effort at transliteration of a female Southern/FOB accent.
