it was quite a pleasant time, but this time round, it was not up to expectation, and i was really quite pissed off with the service staff there.
Firstly, the sound system is fairly okay, i mean most karaokae outlets have about the same systems, and its passable, but the remote control is not working properly, as in its faulty at times.
Next, i find that the staffs there are not well-trained enough, in a sense when i asked a question, they have to ask two more persons to get back to me, this clearly shows to me the lack of technical expertise they possess, not trying to say that i am finding fault with them, but rather i believe as a service staff you should always equip yourself with the relevant knowledge you should have. I just asked a simple question " Is there any discount for K-Box members " and it took the service staff a whole 30minutes to get back to me.
I also think i sort of got "cheated" in a sense of our money, each person cost about 25bucks, when we went during the happy hour period, and it is supposed to cost only
16bucks ( including GST and other charges ) i think the person thought we were not students, when i specifically said i wanted the student package
One good thing is it got balcony outside every room for smoking...

Went to tis particular kbox at cineleisure for quite a number of times. The most recent to the level 4 Kbox for Klunch and level 8 kbox during the KGolden timings.
One thing, I think needed improvement is the Klunch. Even though its quite cheap for a lunch but I feel if they could have more variety like what partyworld offers would be great. I've never tried the buffet at kbox but I heard from many people that its not that nice. How not nice i'm not sure but I am not so willing to spend 20 bucks to try it.
As for the mics, the rooms I went to, the mics are not wireless, if so will be great as me and my friend were tangled up by the cords most of the time as we move around alot during our singing. ha.. talk about enthusiatic singers.. :P
Service is not bad. During our singing 'stint' at level 8, my friends commented that the room was very warm, at first I thought its because that we were very excited or something, but its not. So we requested for a change of room. Thankfully, there's quite a bit of empty rooms even though its on a Friday night, we were promptly switched to another room by the staff. Thanks for that. Its worth it even though we had to re-pick our songs all over again.
Overall I do enjoy my experience in Kbox. by the way, the lights on the walls are quite distracting if u know what i mean. just my 2cents tot. ;) keep singing people.

Today , went to this place with my best pals.
We went to four floor to ask for a room package, but to our shock it was quite crowed , so we wait for quite a long time.
And finally, it is our turn , the counter girl told us one sentence " K student ar ? go to level eight "
So we took a lift and went to level eight , the girl on the counter say , k student is only till 5pm while in fact it SHOULD be till 7 pm !!!
We asked for the reason , and she said is because we didn't call and reserve !!!
Ok, what a lousy excuse !!! even though we were quite irritated but since we were there , we might as well as paid more to sing longer period ! $22.25 !!! while in fact is should be only $17.50 NETT !!!
I think soon or later, i will not be going any KTV !

And anyway, I would recommend that you should go to heartland's area kbox if you want longer singing session. Town's KBox is more busy, the demand for rooms is higher..

Been to this place once. It's quite costly as compared to other "non branded" ktv place. I usually visit the one at Bedok; inside a community centre.
The songs are updated, seats are comfortable but it's still too expensive in my opinion. If it isn't my friends who suggested we go there, I won't be there. Nevertheless, if you have the spending power, it's a great place to hang out. We all love singing, dun you?

I went there with a couple of friends to celebrate one of my friend's birthday. I was going with quite a hugh expectation of the service there, because the previous time i went there, it was quite a pleasant time, but this time round, it was not up to expectation, and i was really quite pissed off with the service staff there.
Firstly, the sound system is fairly okay, i mean most karaokae outlets have about the same systems, and its passable, but the remote control is not working properly, as in its faulty at times.

well i just sent a feedback letter to them, and i am still waiting for their reply.
but the good point is the songs are updated, you can find new tracks already on the list. and the sofas are quite comfortable actually.

Had my Primary school Class gathering here on a Friday Night.
Even though we booked a room for 10, they gave us a room of like 4-5? Cos initially 5 ppl went in first... So as the mins pass, more ppl turned up and we find it sooooo squeezy. So we asked the server to change our room. They say all the rooms are full ....... Have to wait till 1am before they can give us a bigger room
I was one of the ppl who were late. And i went to the 8th floor and asked for room 78. THe server brought me around the maze and FLUNG the door open. I stepped in, and stunned. I thought my Pri Sch frens had change so much! And their parents were also around?? Duh.... WRONG ROOM! BUT i know its room 78! Then the server flung open ANOTHER ROOM 78 *faintz* So many room 78? make me so paiseh!
THe room is squeezy... THe mics are corded, not wireless as what POlar Bear had said. Well, nvm, as long the mic is working. Maybe my room is small.
When 11pm came, they really came to offer us a bigger room, but some ppl had left already. So we remained as we were.
Well, we thought we can have the room till the KBOX closes, but who knows, at 1.30am they stopped our songs already!!! We haben had enough singing! I thought they only closes at 3-4am?
But overall, Servers are quite attentive and prompt to ask for order and clear the table though.

Been there once before both 4th level and 8th level. Personally I prefer the 8th level as the room are larger and the sofa and everything seems in better shape.
One thing that impress me on the 8th level is they used wireless mic instead of wired mics and it is a big plus. Hee..
The drinks there are quite standard nothing to shout out about but getting on the smaller side.
The songs are up to date but sometimes the system reaction to the remote control is a bit slow.
One thing good about Kbox is if you booked the room until midnight and no one books the room after midnight they will aloow you to sing until someone is taking over the room.
