    This place was sooo much fun! So they have a full bar at the front available for everyone, then each party has their own private room with their own bathroom. It was absolutely amazing and great for these pandemic times! The food was spectacular and the drinks were soooo delicious!! 🤗😁🙌🏾 I will be back very soon!!

    The karaoke room that i was in was a decent size. I came here for a birthday party. I was happy they had a non sea food selection. Unfortunately, what I ordered was disappointing. I ordered wings and fried pickles. The pickles were the only thing that I ate. The wings are huge and very hard. I’m not sure if they were hard because the were fried hard or old and recooked. You can’t send anything back so that was a waste of money. I still informed the server he said “oh I’ll let the cook know”. You also have to pay for water.

    Nov 5th around 11pm when I walked in this place was filthy in the dinning area. Food wasn’t to my satisfaction. I visit this place often and today I was extremely surprised to see this. Even the hallways and the bathroom was disgusting. Definitely the worst experience I’ve had will not be back for a while.

    We had a pretty good experience in our private room. My frozen drink is awesome. The servers are very nice. Looking forward to going back again!

    Save your time and money. You have to pay for water. The chicken wings were clearly made hours ago and just slathered in sauce. The seafood boils were subpar at best. And the pictures of the drinks are extremely misleading. Will not be back.

    I loved it. They have personal rooms. From 8 up to 28people. The club that holds 60 people. My rainbow drink was perfectly poured.

    nice and clean dining environment. The bartender and server are very polite. I ordered an amazing cocktail drink and it tasted super good. The seafood we ordered were also delicious. Definitely will come back with my friend.

    We went for a friend karaoke night. She had the room that hold 60 people in there and it was about 45 of us with only 1 waitress. So getting our food and drinks was very very slow. We asked her why was she the only person working with us. And on top of that she had to put all the orders in and go make everyone drinks by herself . So you can imagine how long this took. People were just going to the front just to be able to get there drinks faster. And when you got to the front there were people just standing around they could have been working with this young lady to get us served a lot faster. But overall the food was good the drinks wasn’t a fan of. Even with the young lady having so many of us to work with she was still nice and polite. So I hope she made a good tip for the stress of working by herself.

    I went last night for my friends bday celebration and the concept is amazing but everything else is mediocre and overpriced. We were in room 10, the karaoke machine kept cutting off and at one point started smoking, the sea food boil was shabby .. the cooks literally tried to stretch everything small potatoes and they cut a miniature corn slice in half!! The actual server /waitress was awful and the drinks were weak. The Maintenance men did try to accommodate the hour we lost but overall “it wasn’t worth the money”.

    This place is cool for a party, and food is good. But if you are going thinking you can do Karaoke without booking a room, you cannot. The cheapest room is $30 an hour and you must book 3 hours minimum. The owner did say they where thinking having it in the main dinning area soon. So we shall see. The food was good and the drinks are string as hell. Which is good if you're doing Karaoke lol

    Service was terrible. We walked in and was greeted with silence. No direction, no one to seat us. Nothing. Security is there and he was even rude. Made me think there’s something shady going on in that building. The energy and atmosphere of the place is very unwelcoming and unsettling. You would think they would want to engage with their customers at a karaoke bar, but not at all. One man was sitting down and when we asked for a table, he goes “just pick a table.” I see why the place was completely empty. Then a male server comes along and we ask for water, all they have is bottled water and it isn’t even cold. It’s room temperature. We asked how the karaoke works and he rolled his eyes and just said how much it is. We ended up going somewhere else with way better service and a friendly atmosphere. If you ever go here and end up leaving (I don’t blame you), Lao Pot close by and really good! The servers are sweet and patient when explaining how hot pot works. Give them a try. Lao Pot is worth your time and money!

    Karaoke was fun but need to have the screen positioned where you can see the front of people while they’re singing. Needs better upkeep of the bathrooms. The food was okay. Should have better quality food for what they charge.

    This is the place to be! If you love seafood and singing, you gotta check this place out! I from Chicago to visit my friend for her birthday and we decided to check this place out. We had a karaoke small room and some seafood boil for three people. The wait staff was super nice and the guy that was helping us out was really cool! We got some alcoholic beverages and they were sooooo good! Once we got our food we immediately dug in and it was delicious! I’ve had seafood boil at dozens of places all over the country and I gotta say it was in my top 3. The crab was fresh and snappy and the seasoning was incredibly salty like it is at most places. The flavor was great! We sang for quite some time. The sound system is pretty cool and we definitely had a blast! I’d recommend this to anyone who asks for a cool spot in the metro Detroit area!

    I have attended a couple birthday parties here and enjoyed myself. So I decided to have a small birthday gathering and the service was so great the food and drinks was good and also great prices. I will definitely have something again soon and I will love to give a special thanks to Ms. JuJu she is the manager and she is so sweet I will also check out the flint location soon. Great vibes and awesome security. I love crab karaoke

    Awful!! Over priced!! Disgusting!!! First of all, how and why would one cluster of snow crab legs cost $20??? I despise when businesses come into predominately black neighborhoods and overcharge to their benefit without the decency of offering a quality product!! My family and I just attempted to dine in this restaurant and it was the biggest mistake of our trip. I hope the drinks and private karaoke rooms offer a better deal than the food! It was truly awful!! We ordered the Cajun fried rice which was filled with green pepper, red onion and shrimp which lacked a pinch of seasoning. They were the blandest shrimp I’ve ever tried to consume. It’s as if they were taken directly out of the package, warmed up and placed on top of a bed of rice. The catfish po boy which was filled with a very small amount of their catfish bites in between the thickest bread I’ve seen for a sandwich and Cajun fries. I asked for salt and pepper and the waitress brought me a shot glass with salt poured in it. Are you kidding me??? I ended up sending my Our waitress was kind and apologized that our service experience wasn’t enjoyable. Oh, how can I forget the audacity to have a 18% service charge on already overpriced food is overkill!!

    I came for my cousin's birthday gathering. We were in room 11 and it was a very nice size for our crowd. The vibe was great and we sung the night away with family and friends. I did order a seafood boil (The Perfect Storm) and added sausage. I got mine with the tangy lemon sauce and mild. It was so much food and it was really good. I did wish it was more potatoes in it though. I didn't try any alcoholic drinks but my family loved them. The service was really good as well and our waitress checked on us often to see if we needed anything. I'll definitely be visiting this place again in the future.

    Recently, I went for a birthday outing with several girlfriends. First, there is security carding at the door. Then, you are not able to enter until your appointed time, so don't be early. No real instructions were given how to work the equipment. The young lady who was our server Demi was nice. She explained what was good on the menu and the best ways to get to the music, could Karoke too. The table area for eating was small but we made the most of it because we were there for fun. Therr were handprints and tape on the wall. I'm not sure how cleaning happens between sessions. We did, however, have to grab a mat from the hall because the floor was slippery/oily. The food was decent. I had a crab boil bag and garlic parmesan wings. Tickets are split, and there is an automatic 18% gratuity added to all bills on top of reserving the Karoke room. All in all, it was an experience!

    This place is reasonably priced, the food was good but was there was Soooo much oil/butter. The service also SUCKED for having automatic 18 percent gratuity. I feel like you should have to actually work to get a tip. 18 dollar tip but couldnt bring refills, didnt check on us and we even had to get up to get boxes and to get the bill, then to the register to cash out. She was just sitting at the front on her phone talking to another worker. They also have plastic forks?? This place is definitely interesting as theres a karaoke section and then a seafood section? Its just an odd combo. Theres also security at the door that pats you down before you go in. Definitely interesting. Only went because they were open late.
