Everysing Karaoke

Best karaoke in town. One of the few places that actually checks IDs. I am tired of running into little drunk Asian kids who start crap and end up yelling at each other and starting fights. Very friendly owners and the service is definitely on point.

This place is starting to climb on the top of my recommended places to go karaoke.

Rooms can accommodate quite a large number of people even the smaller rooms can hold a surprising number of people and yet still be comfortable. Rooms allow smoking so it's the digression of your friends whether someone will smoke or not. Song selection isn't THE newest, but I don't think any of my friends sing the newest song anyways. We all have our go-to songs and throwbacks (gotta love the 90's) which everyone knows and jams too.

I particularly like this place because I do get better service here than other places (not to name any names). Sometimes, I wouldn't get good service or felt like I was told to wait when other koreans didn't and this place dissipates that notion.

Prices are really cheap in my opinion, 20 bucks an hour. Order enough food and drinks (if you have a large party, this is not a problem) and they'll just let you sing for free. I can't remember what the cut off is when they didn't charge us but service for everything was quick and friendly, couldn't ask for more. One time, stayed a little past closing time for a total of about 1.5 hours and they only charged for 1 hour. They are awesome for doing that, it's stuff like that where I would recommend this place.

Everyone in my family loves to sing, so we go to a noraebang (private Karaoke room) at least once every two or three months.  A friend of mine recently had a birthday celebration there and told me that it was a good noraebang with reasonable hourly rates - $20/hour for a group of 6 or less people, and $30/hour for larger groups.

To celebrate my brother's high school graduation (YAY, CONGRATS to my favorite brother!!!), our family decided to check out Everysing.  My siblings laughed when I suggested "Everysing," and my dad asked "Do you mean 'Everything'?"...  HAHA...  The noraebang's cute name is literally the way Koreans pronounce "everything."  =)

Anyway, we went around 10 pm on a Friday night and found that the place was kind of dead.  The employee at the counter told us to go to one room, then changed his mind three times and finally offered us a large room.  It was probably large enough to seat at least 12 people comfortably, so the six of us had plenty of space to stretch out and relax.  Nice!

Initially, my family and I were happy that the room didn't reek of smoke as many Korean karaoke places do.  However, about 10 minutes later, we started to smell cigarette smoke trailing in from the room next door.  Boo...

I usually don't use the song books to search for songs and enter them by number as I prefer to use the remote to search by artist or title.  (NOTE: Unfortunately for those who can't read Korean, the remotes are going to be a challenge to use since the tiny words on the buttons are written in Korean.)  However, I usually like to flip to the back to see what new songs they have.  Unfortunately, the newer songs were not new at all.  They were probably from late last year or early this year.  Not good.

Although they didn't have some of the newer songs that other noraebangs (like my favorite, Ai Tunes) have, our family still had a good time.  Also, to our surprise and delight, after about an hour of singing, we saw a notice on the TV screen that we were given 30 bonus minutes for free!  That was really nice.  As the time was getting down to 5 minutes left, my sister asked if we could have 30 minutes added or if we had to get a full hour.  Fortunately, we were able to get 30 more minutes for an $10.

Overall, Everysing Karaoke gets 3.5 hours for their friendly service and affordable hourly rates for karaoke.  We really appreciated the free 30 minute bonus and the fact that they let us add an additional half hour, which allowed us to sing for two hours for only $30!  However, we were a little disappointed that they didn't have newer song selections.  We didn't get any food or drinks since we had a big dinner, so unfortunately I can't speak to that.  We may return if we hear that they do a better job of updating their songs more frequently, but with the numerous noraebang options, we easily may not return.  We'll just have to see...
