ambiance
100.0% positive
  1. The Asian bartenders are entertaining, the live music "Open Karaoke" is fun to listen to, plus the security officer is friendly and does a great job of keeping you safe.
  2. cool place to hang out after work, they have a kind of laid back atmosphere at the bar & restaurant area but you can go wild and crazy in their private karaoke room which assigned to your party only.

Cool Karaoke Studio and bar in K-Town

by SmokeyDoke

Found my new spot! I’m really impressed. Usually I hate K-joints, but this place was posh with an interesting Egyptian theme. The service was nice and prices were reasonable. AND the place has strob lights. Score! I’d give Parao 5 stars. 4 bottles soju, 2 plates of food = $100. Has a good K-pop and J-pop selection and an okay English section. But hey, can you beat STROBE LIGHTS? I think not!

  • Pros: STROBE LIGHTS
  • Cons: Expensive, but worth it

Im In Love~

by myloki

This is my new favorite place! I was there for my best friend's birthday and we had the best time ever. I can't remember our server's name, something like Helen, but she gave us the kind of service you could only dream of. Everyone there seemed to be having a crazy good time and the whole place felt like a party. I didn't eat, but the food looked great. It's good, cheap fun and everyone who worked there seemed glad to be there. I haven't come across anyplace like it out here. Thanks, Parao. See you soon.
