    Carnival Karaoke is definitely a roller coaster of an experience. You walk into the little establishment and you’re expecting a hello, or a nice greeting of some sort. You actually don’t receive one, so you mosey around on your own and work out the kinks on your own. I love the prices at Carnival Karaoke. They have very decent prices for their rooms, and even have happy hour prices on weekends which was quite a shocker for me. They also offer drinks and snacks for you to eat or consume while you sing your heart out. The flavored soju was very mediocre, as I was expecting real fruit mixed with the soju, not just flavored sodas and soju mixed together… The room was another challenge, since you would have to figure out how to work the Korean karaoke device on your own. They have a few books with a fairly good variety of pop hits and wired microphones with fun disco lights. Good experience, but nothing to rave about! Don’t expect great service, but you get what you pay for!

    Great Karaoke place! Different room sizes available. The customer service was pleasant and consistent. They have a wall flip to contact them for drinks and food in the room. Song selection was great. So many classics up to the 2000's along with a few new ones added. Easy to use system which they show you how to use. Small room is a little tight but its a great price. They do charge the room rounded up to the hour so a few minutes over will be charged for the full hour.

    Pricey and they need cash or payment upfront. Lots of Korean songs, vietnamese, Chinese, and US songs Dim location but that's alright. Area is quiet at night. Don't come here alone

    Legit selection of songs provided by TJ media. The microphones work well enough, but we had one fail on us. They are respectful, if unenthusiastic, and the prices are acceptable.

    Didn't cost that much if you split between you and your friends. Great place to party and sing~

    My friend invited me to a session of Karaoke, it was my first time but I was curious to try it, we had to wait around 40 minutes for a small room, time flew by without us noticing it because we were having so much fun singing our hearts out😆 The place was nice and clean, the guy was polite and professional. I’m looking forward to our next session 😊

    Fantastic karaoke spot. Great service staff. Affordable prices. Good drink selection (minus the water arrowhead tastes bad imo.) Similar limited selection but what they do have is the goodies. Tends to more so favor asian (Korean, Japanese & Chinese), as well as, a good range of American songs. Solid 5/5, would recommend & bring friends.

    They were quick to get us into a room, and the staff were very courteous. Its also soaking that they offer a decent variety of food and drink, and the rooms are pretty spacious. The only reason this isn't a 5 star was the music selection. The amount of songs that were available in English was very small, and their selection seemed a bit dated. You can have a lot of fun there if you go in knowing what to expect.

    Lots of songs in different languages. Don't expect any newer songs that came out in the past year or so... Especially if it's not by American artists. Very cheap on weekdays

  • 5/5 D B. 1 year ago on Google
    This has been a go to hang out on the weekends for me whenever we don't know what to do or where to hang out. Usually spend about 1hour - 2 hours here just singing your heart out and kinda drown the outside world away, specially when you want to enter a space away from the real world. They have a great selection of songs and great atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend it although I hope they don't get too busy so I can still get a room since they do operate on a first come first serve basis.

  • 5/5 Meryssa S. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a great place to have fun with friends. I love that you get your own room so you don't feel nervous to sing in front of a bunch of random people

  • 5/5 Crystal C. 6 months ago on Google
    Such a fun time all around! I've been here on multiple occasions, the most recent being a masters graduation celebration 🎓 🎉 the graduate rented out the largest room available and it was beyond fun. The service was super friendly and fast. The appetizers were delicious and the drinks were strong! Definitely can't wait to return soon for my birthday 🎉 Carnival Karaoke is a hidden gem 💎 and my ultimate favorite go-to-spot in the valley.

    I have been here before and had fun when it was 9 of us. This time I came with 2 other people who don't normally sing karaoke and we all had fun. It's fun with a big group because it's more hype but it's also fun with a small group because you get more songs in. We were having so much fun we looked up and it was 1 am. They have a good selection of drinks and they have some snack foods available. One of our microphones kept going in and out but luckily it was ok because it was only 3 of us and we were too busy singing to ask the guy to fix it.

    Pretty decent spot. Closest karaoke bar to where I live. It does seem the person in the counter is overworked with little help, but they were nice. The drinks were good. The song selection was pretty decent.

  • 5/5 SuperStarPix Photo B. 1 year ago on Google
    We get requests here for our photo booth and this place is always popular with the young crowd!!! Holding parties here is ideal and you will definitely have fun with little to no judgement!

  • 1/5 Logan P. 8 months ago on Google
    This place is awful. The staff is rude (especially the older lady at the front desk), the song selection is terrible, and the sound system is cheap. Don’t waste your money at Carnival. Drive a little farther to one of LA’s many great karaoke spots. This is not one of them.

  • 5/5 Ista P. 2 years ago on Google
    guy at the counter was really nice I was on my vacation to LA and we wanted to go to a karaoke bar pretty late at night but none of us were over 21 so we went there and we had a great time singing and just being goofy they have private rooms a small medium large and I think of VIP and we got a small room there was just three of us but they have food drinks there's obviously alcohol if you're over 21 but very fun

    Dropped in after dinner for a few rounds with my family. Had a blast here and loved hearing the adjacent rooms singing loudly as we were! Huge selection of songs. Drinks brought to you if you need them. Can’t wait to come back!!

  • 3/5 Eddren B. 1 year ago on Google
    No outside food or drinks allowed but what they offer is not good. Calamari looked like onion rings. Songs are only in alphabetical order no listing by artist. Limited song selection.

  • 5/5 Flac4 N. 1 year ago on Google
    It was so much fun. Getting there before 7pm helped since there was only 2 of us. Service was great. Def get there early. The calamari was good so we’re the potstickers . We got the original soju. Def gets you in the mood lol.

  • 5/5 Sergio M. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a really great time here as a group of 2- one of the best karaoke places we've been too! Friendly staff, great price, great range of English songs (and a small list of Spanish songs), and the drinks were great (I recommend the peach soju.) The karaoke system was easy to navigate and there was books to look through the songs.

  • 5/5 Sargis K. 2 years ago on Google
    if you want to add another unforgettable day to your life, then be sure to look here. An unusual and unique combination of food and music. light and good mood are guaranteed to you. the time spent here will leave a pleasant aftertaste in your memory. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Melissa R. 2 years ago on Google
    The service was incredible. I literally walked in and they already had a room available with no reservation. It was a quick process. This was my first time ever going to do karaoke and this place definitely left a good impression. They have a wide variety of songs/genres available too.

    Fun place. Have alcohol

  • 5/5 Marie M. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved it time went by so fast and had a good section of songs

  • 5/5 arthur o. 2 years ago on Google
    20 bucks per hour. Good soju flavors. Closes @ 2am. Staff is friendly place is clean.

  • 5/5 Crystal H. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the most fun experience I had in a long time with close friends. There are so many songs from various language. In terms of English, there are popular songs from the biggest hits from the Beatles, to Lady Gaga, to Draco, to mostly every current artist but also classics like Piano Man. It's even cheaper if you go in a group and you get 5% off if you pay in cash. With covid, they wipe everything down and there's a cover on the mic.

  • 5/5 Diana J. 2 years ago on Google
    The room was big enough for 7 people, and the host was very nice and service was quick with amazing drinks and appetizers. We had the peach, yogurt and apple shoju but I personally liked the yogurt one which was sweet. Had a blast and for around three hours and 7 people it all totaled to $270. Very affordable.
