4.5 stars.
This is a Karaoke Box, not a Karaoke bar. They will make you sign a waiver saying that you will not drink alcohol in their rooms. I'm taking off 1/2 a star for that. Seriously, is there such a thing as sober karaoke?
Besides the no-alcohol rule, I love this place. Great English selection, thousands of songs and a lot of new hits. They also have a large J-pop and K-pop section.
Rooms are ghetto-ish, they need to fix the ventilation and get new furniture. Also their equipment isn't the latest and greatest. But that's okay, it’s more for die-hard karaoke fans rather than a person looking for the karaoke “experience”. I recommend the nicer Karaoke Boxes in K-town for people expecting strob lights and pretty walls.

Landy hosted an event here. man it was off the chain. People were just having a good time. but yo, that Landy is the new sensation though, low key like!

This karaoke place is just great! It really feels like you are in japan and having a great time. They offer a really wide variety of songs so whether you want english or japanese, old, or new they got it!

Max karaoke is just like a karaoke place in Japan. It's definitely known by Japanese people as being one of the best ones in the LA area. I happen to have lived by this one for a long time so I've been there a lot. The selection here is amazing. They stay up-to-date with Japanese songs and American songs (they also have Chinese and Korean songs). It's fun! It can be pricey, but if you go during Happy Hour (until 8pm) it's a very good price!

This is a Karaoke Box loved by many Japanese locals but they do have tons of English songs. I heard that they got busted for serving alcohol without a license in the past and so no more drinking is allowed while you are singing. They open till really late (like 4am??) so people tend to come out between 12-2 am after a night of bar-hopping. Interesting experience... Light Japanese snacks are available at high cost, of course.
