| - The place could've been a lot better, in my opinion.
Things to be improved on:
1. Bathrooms. The sinks were GORGEOUS, but everything else left much to be desired. None of the women's stalls had locks on them, two of the three stalls didn't have any toilet paper, and there's a large open drain hole that people can almost step into if they don't watch their steps.
2. The machine was primarily Chinese oriented, so it was very hard to use a search function for English songs. If the song had a multiple word title then searching was slightly easier, but if the song didn't then we would be forced to scroll through pages (that aren't organized by alphabet) to find them. I also had to do a lot of fiddling around before I got the hang of using the machine; the staff didn't really explain it very well.
3. They didn't have a great selection of recent English songs. Or even classic English karaoke pieces. Organization was also terrible; we found "On My Own", a song from the musical Les Mis, under a Chinese artist because the MTV was a Chinese singer.
4. The karaoke itself had a lot of problems. Sometimes the vocals weren't taken out of the music. Sometimes the lyrics didn't appear on screen. Once the wrong song started playing with the wrong lyrics and wrong music video.
5. I didn't find the button, but the button to adjust mic volume shouldn't be hard to find in the first place.
6. Some songs were super quiet while other songs were super loud, at the same volume setting.
Pros:
1. The fried squid was delicious.
2. The french fries were some of the best I've tasted.
3. They had actual music videos for some songs (and then extremely weird music videos for some others... dancing cops around a flag pole anyone?)
4. We had wireless mics that were very sparkly indeed.
5. The machine was easier to use than the one in Bar+, although that might primarily be because I can't read Korean so I have no idea what buttons to press for the Korean machine (the things friends are good for).
We were 8 people, in a small room that was pretty comfy. We paid $200 overall for the night, with food and non-alcoholic drinks.
Conclusion: I'd give 8090 a try next, and see which one I like better. Apparently they function in much the same way in terms of price. If I'm with a Korean friend I would just go to Bar+ (and not buy food+drinks, because we almost always have food before karaoke anyways). Bar+ is much cheaper.
