EMA Karaoke & Bar

I loved this place!! The haeso were very friendly and welcoming, and helped us a lot with the technology and how to do karaoke since we were new. The vibes were amazing and the atmosphere was very cosy, I can feel like I am very comfortable with the atmosphere. Loved this place and 10/10 would recommend!

This place is amazing! I've been coming here since November 2021 with my college friends and I always had an amazing time at EMA! Their song selection is great (variety of Korean, English, Chinese, Japanese, other Asian language songs). You can also play songs from YouTube if it's not available on their system. The employees here are super nice and so sweet!! They treat me and my friends so well every time we come Would def recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a fun time! EMA 항상 재밌는 시간 선물해줘서 정말 감사합니다! 꼭 다시 찾아갈게요!

EMA Karaoke & Bar in San Jose is a vibrant spot for a night out, offering both an open bar area and individual rooms for rent. The karaoke experience here is a blast, with a diverse selection of songs to choose from. However, if you're expecting gourmet cuisine, you may find the food to be just average.

As the night progresses, the bar tends to get crowded after 9 pm, so it's best to arrive early to secure your spot. Despite the crowds, the energy is infectious, adding to the overall excitement.

My husband and I have been here a handful of times either just the two of us or with a larger group. We've never rented a private karaoke room but we've enjoyed the community area for both awesome and not so great karaoke singers. It normally doesn't get busy until 10pm or after. If you're just coming to enjoy food and drink, I'd recommend coming around 7-9pm before it gets packed.

Food: we've enjoyed the fried chicken, fried rice, spicy marinated pork, seafood pancake, and dumpling soup. All dishes were quite delicious but our favorites have got to he the spicy pork and dumpling soup. Prices are a bit on the higher side but it is a lounge/bar so it's expected. They have your typical Korean soju and beer but they also have a variety of liquor for your enjoyment.

They have a gentleman with a really good voice singing and he does take requests for $5 a song (I believe).
Overall, this is a fun place to hang out! Workers are friendly and they open late!

Haesoo was the best server tonight! She made my boyfriends 30th so fun!! Would definitely come back with more people to hang out! A good late night karaoke spot that serves food and drinks!! Such a fun experience on a Tuesday night!

EMA is the best place for open and private room karaoke in the South Bay. Every Friday and Saturday night you will find yourselves cheering for and singing with strangers in this special venue where everyone is a friend. Places like these are so rare and help people feel welcome and part of a community.

Tips: Minji is a great hostess and makes you feel right at home with her positive energy and great vibes. Bring cash to tip the resident in house pianist who will play your song for you as you sing. It's like you have a bandmate standing behind you all the time!

Enjoy your time

Fantastic experience with wonderful staff. We thoroughly enjoyed a friend's birthday. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely come back for more!

Fun place for karaoke with good vibes. Food and drink prices are a little high, but the staff were super friendly and accommodating. S/o to Minji!

Came out for an impromptu karaoke night on a Tuesday and Haesoo made sure we were well taken care of!!! She helped us operate the karaoke system and provided excellent food and beverage service so we could make the most of our time! Highly Recommend!!!

EMA Karaoke is the best karoke in the whole United States. Minji was super nice and made us feel comfortable during our fun Friday night. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves to sing and want to have a great time. Minji rocks! Lets go!!!
