Star Karaoke

I just loved the food there! The no.9 spicy ramen, kimchi&sweet potato pizza, pork and beef hot pot.....I just have to go there once in a while to treat myself!

So having lived in Austin for 5 years now, I am very spoiled when it comes to private karaoke and this place just doesn't cut it.

While the cost of renting the room out is not so bad, you are not allowed to bring any food or drink (even water!) in without paying a fee or buying food/drink from them. This wouldn't be as outrageous if their prices weren't outrageous. I cannot say the quality of said food and drink since we refused to purchase any.

We've always gotten stuck in the back room which is apparently one of the largest but is still fairly cramped.
The song selection is pretty decent and we were able to find a TON of songs to sing and dance to, even recent hit songs within the last couple months.

Another weird thing. There's a window on the door so the employees can walk by and look in whenever they want. I'm sure this is partly for security or so they can peep on you and make sure you haven't snuck in your own food or drink, but it's a bit unnerving and sort of takes away from the whole privacy feel.  

I'll still go here if only because this is the only korean karaoke place in the Champaign area that I know of..

My voice never sounded so good on a karaoke sound system - granted that I've gotten better at singing.  Still, awesome sound that made me forget the price.

Don't forget to order soju and Korean-style chicken wings with your experience.

Apparently it costs money to bring water into the room though.
