KBOX Cafe Karaoke Private Room

Absolutely horrific service by staff, abusive, rude and ridiculous in their security. They claimed all these terms and conditions and when we questioned the validity they could not produce the documentation to back their claim- certainly proving that they were baseless

My 11 year old son did karaoke here to celebrate his birthday with a couple of friends. They prepared their playlist on the way to the venue, and were quickly singing away when we arrived. Three hours wasn't long enough from them - they loved the song selection, big screens and mics. It was just a really fun experience, they said "one of the best days of their life"! The food and drinks were all great, and the service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be back.

Nice atmosphere and good rooms. However, the microphone (it's definitely not bad), but could definitely be slightly louder and more reliable. The price is on the cheaper side compared to a lot of the other ones in Melbourne. There is also one free drink provided which is alright.

Love this place~~ I had good time with my friends karaoke is an awesome way to relieve stress from the exam

I couldn't speak for 10 mins after we were done so you know it was great.

Went to do Karaoke in forever with some friends of mine and was told to check out this place.
We opted for the 6-9pm karaoke+ food experience and had an absolute blast.
Ordered some snacks and food and enjoyed the room which was perfect for us.
Service was friendly and the popcorn chicken was succulent!

I intend on making this a regular hang for us when we want to do karaoke again. However just an FYI, the Mike on the stage that was fixed in place didn't work so that was the only disappointment because I would have liked to get even more dramatic if possible.

Fantastic place to sing the night away! Great value, drinks and the best customer service – we had to change the number of people attending 2 times on the day of (I know) and they were so understanding.

Fun night out with friends, good food, drinks and friendly service. The whole venue has a great community vibe with the board game cafe section in full swing, and no alcohol keeps things chill. Highly recommend.

Good karaoke bar for u18

although, the song list leaves a lot to be desired if you just speak english, half the songs have japanese subtitles

Great place for an afternoon of karaoke! Staff are friendly and the song list is very impressive

Very spacious rooms, smooth process of entry, and great prices for a terrific time. Highly recommend going here.

They had a good range of songs, and the length and free drink included in our session for just $30 each was great value. All the technology and arrangement of the room worked well bar one standing microphone that we couldn’t get to work.

I have gone to this venue to play karaoke with a friend on the 28th of December 2022.

In this review I will start with some good points, some of the bad points which should be addressed and how I felt.

Some of the good points of this venue are:
- The attendant was nice and polite. They checked us in and walked us to our private room with no hassles at all.

- The price for weekday being $30 for 4 hours with a drink included is really good in value. Much better than the other KBOX venues.

- The song list is very comprehensive including multiple languages.

- The small rooms are big enough to fit small groups with 4 microphones.

Some of the major issues which I really would like to see addressed before coming back are the following:
- Most Japanese song titles are incorrectly labelled as the song’s series, this is a major issue as this makes searching by song title not possible, and since a series can have hundreds of songs, the list of songs will all have the same name. The best you can do in this situation is to remember the entire cast in a song you want to sing and play though all those songs until you find the song you were looking for. These songs do have the correct title on the MV at the start. This issue becomes a huge time waster and cannot be done while someone else is singing. English songs do not have this issue as far as I have seen.

- The karaoke system is glitchy at times, we once had an English song freeze and switch to a random Korean song, then back to the song we were singing.

- The karaoke system is extremely slow, volume changes and playlist changes can take upwards of 3 seconds to take effect, and no feedback is shown to the user. Especially for a system that is local, this is unacceptable and only makes the first issue mentioned much slower to filter through.

Some minor issues I have come across is the keyboard on the screen in the room is slow and is English only. This issue can be overcome by using a mobile phone with the proper language keyboard, and the quality of the MV are really bad, basically VHS quality. Would be nice to see this fixed, but is nowhere near as big of an issue as the major issues mentioned before.

Overall, I had fun at singing at this venue, and it is my second time ever playing karaoke. So far this would have to be the best venue I have been for karaoke. I am giving this review 3 stars due to the multiple major issues. If any of these get fixed, I would be happy to update my review.

You can hear the voices in the walls and its real for once. Singing a little piece of heaven by avenged sevenfold to stock imagery of Rome was an experience. Hyper compressed songs ripped from a 90's japanese karaoke system it looked like half the time haha. The janky tablet would raise and lower the pitch at random even when no one touched it. Still, got a free round of drinks and had fun.

Marche (operated under KBOX Cafe Karaoke Private Room with a seperate review account) has a separate menu for public holiday and still charges 15% on top of it!? !? Owner should revisit and update your menu i.e, either have one menu and apply surcharge or have a seperate weekend/ PH menu with prices inclusive of surcharges so that customers are not misled. Staff wasn't very helpful when asked, simply shrugged and said 'sorry it has always been this way'? 1? Also you get one free drink but meals are not included in the room booking cost (per head) like it used to be. Ended up paying $65 per person with roughly 1 meal + 1 drink per person. Probably not worth it if you're only there for a couple hours.

Amazing family-friendly venue for a karaoke celebration with great vibes, and friendly staff is definitely a plus. You will have a variety of songs (multilingual and cross-generational playlists) to select for your SHOW! Definitely check this place out for a fun experience. I’ll 100% revisit this venue.

Awesome private room with great song list and really decent food and drinks! Definitely on the to do list again.

Great family friendly location with a good range of songs that the whole family can sing along to. Had a great time as always though it is suggested that more updated English songs be included. You may wish to include some popular songs from recent kid's movies e.g. From Encanto and Turning Red. Also we found most of the songs from the Greatest Showman were available but could not find the song This Is Me. Other than that this remains our favourite karaoke place and we'll definitely be back.

Came here for my birthday party with 5 friends and we all had so much fun! They had a great range of songs, and not to mention some really yummy drinks! There were also about 4 mics in our room, meaning many people could sing at once.definitely considering coming again:)

Disappointed that our 6pm - 9pm session couldn't start till 6.30pm (due to late cleaning time) but staffs still end our session at 9pm.

Overpriced, no alcohol served, and took our non-alcoholic sodas off us before our booking even finished
