K-One Karaoke Bar, New York NY

I've been here multiple times pre-Covid and had great experiences at a very reasonable price (I recall $15/person/hr on a Sunday). I visited recently and was told that a small room would cost $100+ for an hour, so I'm not sure if they've changed management/staff. The place seemed pretty empty when I was there, so I would venture to guess that something changed.

The staff was rude. Many things on the snack menu is not available and he told us to order everything at once and not to call him to our room. There is a 20% tips by default. Half an hour before our time for the room ends, he sent us the bill and ask us to pay in advance when we we’re the only party on that entire floor.

Absolutely terrible. We went in looking forward to a fun karaoke night with the family, and turned out to be the worst decision of the entire weekend. We were told it was cash only $95 an hour with 7 empty rooms, which was inconvenient but we decided to get cash and come back. When we came back, the same guy told us it was now $130 just 10 minutes after we had left to get the cash. Super sleezy, gave us attitude, and by the time we were done arguing with him to honor the price that he initially said we were so turned off and decided to leave. Do not give these people your business and save yourself the trip.

Expensive service fee added. Our room’s rate is 85 dollars/hour. We sing for two hours and was charged 201 dollars.
Also Inflexible booking policy. Only allows you to book for at least two hours. You have to pay upfront. If you want to leave early before the two-hour mark, there is no refund. Will not come back.

Decent karaoke place.

Their service is hit-or-miss, and mediocre at best. It would be strongly advised to bring someone who can speak Mandarin, to better communicate with the staff.

The selection of songs is good, if not slightly outdated.

Also, note that ​they are cash only (which isn't too unusual for the area).

Overall, one could have a decent time here, but the price is a bit on the high side, and so I'm not sure I would particularly recommend this place.

Run for the hill! We went there because my friends says it’s good before COVID but apparently the manager changed. Now there are too few songs and he charged me 60 for two tiny snacks labeled as 21 and 8 with 75/hr rate for a small room. Besides HE KEPT INTERRUPTING US which is SOOO ANNOYING. Cash only too for those who mind.

Not bad and it’s probably the only place you can find in Manhattan. Song database is a little out of date.

Clean and modern, but the technology to search songs/artists is not intuitive and nearly impossible. No idea what system/service they use, but it hindered the experience.

The place is not that bad. It’s a good place to go if you are in favor of Chinese songs. 100 per hour for a private room including snacks and tips.

The small karaoke room was nice and modern but we encountered so many problems because the mobile app wasn’t registering on our phones. The song list was hard to navigate so the employee gave us his cellphone for the hour to choose songs, and the selection was not broad (no Adele, BTS, newer Lady Gaga songs). They gave us a $75 drink credit which made our experience bearable but there’s like a 25% tax and service charge FYI. They also shorted our time by 10 minutes.

The karaoke rooms were the most spacious I have seen in New York which was awesome for a big group of people. Our room also had its private bathroom. You have to pay in cash and the only downside as someone who loves to sing my lungs out during karaoke is that the microphones weren’t loud enough/always working

I was shocked by one of the servers’ attitude, when I was there and the floor was under construction. The room I was in smelled like paint which I fully understood but when I told the server to switch to another room and he told me “go find another place if you don’t like here” of course I left but I should have requested to change a server instead of changing a karaoke bar.

K One is literally the best place in the world. The best night of my life occurred at k One. I could not recommend it more highly. The food is gourmet, the staff is kind and communicative, and the bar space looks like first class luxury. It is so beautiful. Im tearing up as I write this. I love K One Karaoke.

Definitely on the pricey side compared to other karaoke bars in Manhattan. English song selection was also limited.

Really awful customer service, they tried to kick us out one hour before our time was due. There are so many karaoke places in Chinatown it’s not worth the rude workers. System looks fancy but it’s hard to use. Disappointed is a understatement

I would gave negative infinity stars if could.
We booked a room one week in advance for Sat 8pm. This place is like hilarious. On that day, we had dinner and the dinner ends at 8pm. We call the restaurant at 7: 57 and said we would be 15min late. The guy told me to wait and just hang my phone. When he finally picked up the phone he told me he had already gave the room to someone else. I told him that I can pay the price from 8pm. He said we can’t be even 1min late.
这地方服务员和manager脑子都有病，完全没有任何服务意识，把顾客当傻逼。明明提前定了位子 并且提前打了电话说会晚15min，并且答应会从订的时间开始付钱。结果呢，这哥们二话不说就把房间取消了，然后告诉我们想唱12点以后再回来。
这地儿谁来谁傻逼，不要给这样的manager送钱。祝你们早日倒闭

Couldn’t search songs correctly and didn’t have, or couldn’t find standard karaoke artists like billy Joel. If you can’t find songs you want to sing everything else about the place means nothing
