The Karaoke room(s) bar on the SFV! I have celebrated a lot of friends special occasions and birthdays here and it's always a good time. The service is friendly, the karaoke books are extensive and so are the acoustics.
Mostly have done the VIP (XL) rooms that hold up to 20 people. It's per hour like most karaoke bars with private rooms and varies by group size as well as Weekdays vs Weekends/Holidays.
Once you have a room secure/booked you enjoy those fab multicolor lights, mood lighting and can start inputting your songs with their remote - make sure your numbers match the song and artist and keep the rotation going with a full list of anybody and everyone in your party that wants to sing.
You will get rated on your performance/vocals by their karaoke system which is part of the fun - getting a 100 is a little bit of a journey but it's possible lol
Carnival serves some food here - mainly large appetizer platters (fried dumplings, dried snack, etc) - the fruit platter is my jam, with soju! You can enjoy non alcoholic beverages (coffee, tea, soft drinks/soda, water, slush, smoothies and even red bull), wine domestic beer or imported.
They do have some specials/combo deals that include a bottle or multiple bottles with a menu item.
Restrooms are well kept too like the entire space from the main lobby/front desk area to the hallways to all each room/space for your party.
Parking is vast as the lot on Sherman Way and White Oak (Avenue) is bigger than you'd imagine.
Carnival Karaoke is located in Lake Balboa, Los Angeles,California by Evergreen Restaurant and inside the H.K. Valley Centre/Center, home to the Greenland Marketplace - the international grocery store of stores I always find myself in after partying it up at C.K. - snacks, small grocery haul and the best deals on tofu after belting out "Don't...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreCarnival Karaoke is definitely a roller coaster of an experience. You walk into the little establishment and youāre expecting a hello, or a nice greeting of some sort. You actually donāt 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 togetherā¦
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! Donāt expect great service, but you get what...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreLuckily I didn't pay to be here, but can't say anything great about the drinks or the music selection. Not sure how this place got 5 stars, but I honestly would not trust them. The 3's I read sounded more like my experience. Limited song selection, and I mean literally limited. Don't expect anything good in the 80s, I think they only had queen and Billy Idol, no Smith's, new order, the list goes on. Soju was way too sweet, food was sublar although I recommend getting food in the plaza, way better. You're better serve red elsewhere.
Also, the music list should be alphatized to artist as opposed to song, or offer some digital search offering. Looking through a physical folder is legitimately outdated... But hey, private rooms to sing if you're into that...
