Very good venue

by miya224

when you have some serious singing to do to get the daily work-related anxiety out of you. I love the Wow, my family and I will be regulars. Just a bit pricey which is why I'm not affording this place five stars.

Terrible- overpriced and awful song list

by suzybl55

This place is FAR pricier than the other places in the neighborhood. $20 a person is absurd. Go to Duets and pay $5 a person, or go to Japas and spend $30 and get unlimited alcohol. Really not worth the price, and also has a limited song list. Would never go back.

• Cons: way more than you need to spend

Not so great private karaoke bar

by danwelch99

Just went here last night for a bday party for myself and a friend. We walked out very dissapointed. The bigggest problem was the song list. I don't think it has been updated in about 3 years. I am not the type of person to be very picky either. I mean billy joel...uptown girl? Really? And nothing too modern in the song books at all. I was searching for song after song, only to be dissapointed and find nothing at all. We had a group of 18 of us in there and this sadly seemed to be the theme of the evening....Oh I have a great song I wanna sing!....oh they don't have it =( I will say that this is BY FAR the worst selection of songs I have seen in the city.

Also almost everythign was in Korean too. The remote control for the Karaoke machine was in all Korean. If you do a lot of karaoke ( I do ), you might have experienced this before...but usually there is a lot an english explanation for the remote! no such luck here folks.

The room also was supposed to hold 20/25, but w/ 18 of us in there we were cramped. I can't really hold this too much against them though as that has been my experience at any karaoke place. BUT the room was easily 100 degrees and there was NO A/C in the room! I mean in the middle of the summer in NYC, I'm sorry but that is just insane. We asked them 10 times about the A/C and begged them...even tried to bribe them....to put the A/C on. They claimed it was on, but that it had to go to all the rooms. We held out hands the vents, NO air coming out.

To add to all of this, this was the most expensive place I've ever been to.

All in all a pretty dissapointing experience. Me and my entire group will never be returning to this joint. Especially when there's a million more, even in Korea town to go to. I will say that if you are Korean (and can read/write Korean) you might enjoy this place sliiiiightly more, because their korean song selection was better. Hope this helps...happy singing!

• Pros: Modern rooms, good if you are Korean, ummmm
• Cons: NO Air conditioning, NO song selection, no english, Pricey

really good

by kleptic

went here with about 15 friends, and the rooms were big enough so we weren't TOO cramped.

they have a huge song selection, so everyone gets a chance to belt out their favorites.

the lights were really cool, and took people out of their comfort zone and warm up to singing (sometimes badly)

i would definitely come back here.

the ONLY downside:

- they might need to adjust their mics so they're both the same volume (it might've been due to batteries, who knows)

• Pros: atmosphere, good price, song selection, location
• Cons: mic volume?

Wow karaoke is wow.

by flygirlnyc

I had such a great time at Wow karaoke. They have a great selection of music, and the sound systems are very good. Definitely the classiest karaoke place I have seen, the rooms have a nice feel to them. The staff there was great-very friendly, and they kept the drinks coming. Oh-and the food is amazing. I will definitely go back-a fun place to bring friends or to have a party.

• Pros: Sound quality, Ambience, Service
