    Bad karaoke system. Wireless mic have to point the receiving point then only can sing/connected. What's the point of having wireless mic if cant even connect the mics in a room (I take small room). Speaker also bad, keep hearing noise from speaker. Service is also bad, the staff do the bills during my singing time! why can't do the bill after? This badly affects customer mood. I think you should improve on this. Probably won't back here. Loudspeaker is way much better than red box🌚

    I come here and just realised that there are alcohol. As a Muslim, i should not be here. But i just paid. Maybe after this gonna find place without alcohol. I'm sorry 😅. By the way, this place so good 👍. 🎤The sound system good and nice. They provide 3 microphone for single room Which is can fit 3 persons at one time. 🎶The songs variety not up-to-date. Need to add more songs. I even sing the same song multiple times 😂. 🙋The Staff very friendly. 30 minutes before you finish karaoke, they will come for payment. Pay by cash or card, both are available. 💲Total i spend for weekends' rate around Rm60 + tax for two hours. ⛔ Unfortunately you cannot bring your own mineral water inside. 🥲 ✔️Overall i like this place ❤️❤️. 🚫But it just they have alcohol which is prohibited for me as a Muslim 🥲. No offense 😬. However, i still love this place 😁👍. Good work. Have a nice day.

    I give 4 stars only bcoz, they have all the languages in karoke but Tamil songs don't have... Food is worthy, but the hard beverages like liqueur price are too high.

    Very lousy service. (11:55pm - 15/01/2023) The manager (guy who was wearing a pink shirt at the counter) was on duty with his breath was smelly with alcohol. We were asked to be sested first while waiting for the room to get ready. They simply play the song very loudly while we we there waiting for the room. Its so rude. After more than 10 mins of waiting, I’m sick of it already and i walked to the counter again and asked for the room. Guess what? That guy on the counter has forgot that we are currently waiting for the room. The room given which is Room 45, the air conditioning isn’t working. It’s so hot after 10 mins we were in the toom. We asked to change to another room. Then the mic isn’t working. Asked for a replacement, then after 30 minutes the battery flat again. What the hell? Seriously that weak you mic quality? The waiter gave us the menu to order, but haven’t come to get our order even after 30 mins. WiFi connection are also very bad. And the Gent restroom is out of service. Seriously? And the Malay waiter is not friendly at all! Showing some attitude when we asked to order some food, but since he seems unhappy, we didn’t proceed to order anything else other than drinks. Can you please reconsider the price of the Mineral Water? It’s so overpriced! I could file a report to KPDNKK for this matter. To be honest, Red Box 1st Avenue is way much better! Won’t come here again. Hope the management can take a very serious actions about this. Its really giving the RedBox such a bad name after all.

    Worse. They try to lied to us. First we book using apps & we put 6:30 but then we realize we can’t get there on time. So I called them to change time to 7:30 & they said okay. When we arrived, one of my friend asked the crew it is the time count once we get in & they said YES. On 9:30 suddenly our room has been close & I asked them why??? One Chinese guy came to me said, because you scan the barcode thru the apps & so we follow it. I said i already called & change the time thru the call. Then he called the manager. We argued about the same things & he even take pictures of the proof that I called them on 6 pm. He extend our time to 10:30 but we already in bad mood. Please advice your staff/crew to be more accurate about the information 👍🏻👍🏻

    Nonsense. Karaoke or Cafe? Staffs here are forced by greedy Chinese management from China who are constantly forcing their waiters to do sales work. Came to Malaysia PEN for a wedding and wanted a cheaper karaoke, but instead we realized it's more expensive than home in SG. We were forced to purchase food while trying to enjoy our songs! What nonsense is this? Came here to sing and enjoying ourselves but the waiter came in our room without knocking and then forcing us to buy food. 1. Ridiculous payment system - No upfront pay, must pay after session, then tried to add extra time without our authorization 2. Harassment - Constantly disturbing customers during singing and enjoying music asking for payment 3. SALES SALES SALES - China Mainland Chinese mentality. Staffs are forced to do sales and entering the room every 15 minutes. Told them again and again we didn't want their tasteless expensive food but kept sending one gangster waiter after another. Overall time was wasted on dealing with these mafia rather than being able to enjoy ourselves with the money paid to sing but felt robbed and cheated by RedBox. The gangster front counter girl sarcastically said to me in an uneasy tone, "Next time get the longer package lah!, you bought the CHEAP 2 hour package only that's why cannot sing properly. Customers always complain same thing. And by right we should go in the room to ask you to pay the bill, but I told the waiter you're not buying because maybe you all want to sing." Aduh, parah kau ni dik. Org dtg karaoke harus lah nak karok dik, bukan berenang. IQ level like thugs, attitude garbage. Setan betul jawapan dia, dah la non stop 2 jam tu we had to layan gila paksa2 order food. From the beginning we were polite with them sabar, but they were rude and had bad energy vibe. We waited until we get home in SG and posted this review. bikin rosak mood, cannot sing at all. He said "Our manager will be angry at us if we do not sell any meals or alcohol to guests, we need to do sales, if not we don't get sales commission..." Eh Hello, we are also berniaga people, not rich ok? We support local business kalau akak2 abg2 jual pisang tepi jalan tu yes we kesian, tapi awak tu bisnes besar untung juta2 lagi nak pow org time karaoke, jahat sia. Not that I don't want to buy but your food and drinks are so EXPENSIVE that's why you're not making any sales and guests don't feel like buying. Wasting money, tastes like sh*t also. Gila, siapa sanggup bayar RM10 (SGD3) for 250ml mineral water and RM30 (SGD$10) for 3 pcs sausage? In SG, small mineral bottle is only $0.80 cents ley. USE YOUR HEAD LAH, PRICE LIKE AIRPLANE FOOD LIAO! BTW, you still get paid salaries right? You don't work for free or low paid like Bangla. If you are Bangla then I will feel sorry for you but sorry lah, you're paid well and I'm sure you've used that excuse to manipulate us customers into buying your meals. Ingat we all akan kesian dengan tipu daya marketing you all tu? Sales people will say anything desperately to make money so pathethic. This is a karaoke, not shopee or lazada eh. Anyway, you making money or not is not my problem ok?

    Red box is such a great and honest karaoke place! I had accidentally dropped my bracelet one night but the next day they called me to come and get it. So honest and the beer is great too! Thank you so much Red box, hope you all enjoy the cookies! 😊

    Went to Red box for a company outing! It was a great choice as they had a variety of languages to choose from. Atmosphere was great. We didn't order any food hence the low rating. Although one comment would be to help people find the exit after the mall is closed. I left after 12 and my hotel was next door but it took me 20 plus minutes to reach my hotel coz we couldn't exit. Overall great experience.

  • 4/5 Nora Jumani A. 6 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Came with 3 other friends. Mall was closed so if u're gonna have a karaoke session after the mall operating hrs, u have to go down to B1, go through the carpark n into the mall via cargo lift. Staff were friendly and efficient. Took them less than a minute to come into our room when we pressed the "call" button. Only thing is the air conditioning unit in our room, not very cold, n they couldn't adjust the thermostat. Sound system, acceptable lah. Not amazing, not bad either. We had fun though.❤️

  • 5/5 cdnichols51 5 years ago on Google
    Literally spent all day here. The prices are very food. I've actually never done karaoke before so I can't compare it to other places. The song selection seemed really good. The drinks were good. The lunch we got was average at best. The environment and the staff are very nice and helpful.

  • 2/5 joeend v. 3 years ago on Google
    The song are old. Not many choices compare to loudspeaker, the service guy irritating as he come into the room too many times! The mic vibration too loud,

  • 4/5 Penang L. 4 years ago on Google
    We hardly go to Karaoke but this place is so convenient being at mall. I would suggest better song choices in the golden oldies section but otherwise fun!

  • 2/5 Fadzil 2 years ago on Google
    The place was nice but the staff kept coming into the room asking about food ordering and payment, even though we did answer during registration that we dont want any food. We did try to make payment during the registration also but were declined.

  • 4/5 K_Star C. 9 months ago on Google
    Song playlists are a lot and updated. The room was comfy. The only problem is their mic always low on battery so sometimes the mic does not working. We had to change the mic twice because of this so it totally disturbing our experience. Other than that everything is good.

  • 2/5 Mona Felisa S. 7 months ago on Google

  • 4/5 Farah A. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best sound system among many other karaoke spot, but if you still feel like it doesn't really fit you can ask the staff to do some adjustments. The song selection is very clean, divided into category to make finding songs easier and the songs are updated. However i would love to have new HINDI songs too. It adhere the PKP SOP, and the place is spacious. I'm a happy regular customer.

  • 4/5 Sakuramy Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Not bad for singing karaoke. The price is mostly for the food that you'll be ordering so it's quite worth it

  • 5/5 Aizad P. 1 year ago on Google
    The best karaoke box I have ever been to. RM 20 for 1-3 people on weekdays 25 on weekends one hour. I suggest you take 3 hours for RM 55. So fun.

  • 1/5 Amirul H. 2 years ago on Google
    Dont wanna come anymore. The counter girl so rude named Sakura if Im not mistaken. When I asked about the room price for two person , she suggested go for 4 pax, then i asked why., she said full booked with rude reply.

  • 3/5 Shin Ming O. 10 months ago on Google
    The song playlist not updated, not much new version of songs to choose. Screen of TV is small. The micphone battery depleted very fast & need to keep changing the battery. Very troublesome. One of the female service is very poor. No facial expressions when asking to change the battery of the microphone. Not smiling & feel like not willing to serve. The rest of service from male staff is good. Towards last 40 mins the male staff will come in to ask for payment. Quite disturbing. 1st time visit after MCO. Will be last time to visit. Not recommend.
