| - Came here on a friday night for a farewell party for bf's coworker- party of 10 which eventually became party of 14 or so.
Ambiance: 3/5
Slightly sketchy with narrow and steep stairs. Black lights everywhere.
The private Karaoke room was okay... vinyl covered bench seating, glass coffee table. Nothing special, not bad. The room was pretty warm, with no air circulation, however, we were stuffed to the rafters, so that was probably in part our fault.
Product:
Food/ Drink: 3/5; KTV: 4.5/5
Limited selection on drinks and drink mixes. Food was SOOOO salty. Not salty enough to be bitter, but salty enough to make us consistently thirsty (and hence, ordering more drinks! hah).
The actual karaoke was, to my surprise, pretty good! Packed with all the latest hits, 90s rap, and a few pre-set playlists. Most of the songs even had the real video (this is a big deal, compared to KTV places in a large part of Asia). Sound system was good, buzzed a bit at the sheer volume. Sound proofing between rooms was merely decent, even over our noise, we could hear the rowdy cheers from other rooms.
Service: 3/5
Upon arrival, a friendly bouncer wandering to and fro in between the door and the near by bar ID'd us, and made a best guess at which room our friends were in (he was right.. I'm not sure how).
The "servers" who came in to take our empties, bring food, and troubleshoot our KTV machine were decent. Quiet and quick, their purpose was definitely to get things done, not add to the atmosphere.
All in all, 3-and-a-bit-of-extra-salt/ 5.
It's worth coming to if you're feeling a bit of a change of pace from the usual night life of downtown Toronto.
