Our group of six showed up on a Saturday night and were promptly shown to a room where our host, Wally (I think?), explained how they roll at Feel, from the massive crazy remote to the special button on the wall that pages the wait staff. We ended up squeezing an additional 4 people into our room, but it still felt relatively comfortable. Feel is generally very clean, upscale, and the staff is very friendly and attentive. The song selection was decent, lots of karaoke standards and lots of unexpected surprises. Take That and Westlife but no Girls Aloud? Shame on you! Also, I wasn't sure if they give your room a certain bank of songs to choose from or what because while we had plenty of English-language pop hits to choose from, we were disappointed we couldn't find any Big Bang or Uhm Jung Hwa songs. (Yes, we even typed their names in Hangul, we are clever enough to do that much.) Half the fun is the weird videos the system plays during the songs that correlate in no way, shape, or form to the song, my personal favorite was the video that had the little androgynous child that was crying while singing. It lent a special creepy flavor to singing 90s alternative songs. We didn't order any booze, as I was the only boozehound in the group and drinking alone in a room of sober people is just S-A-D, but the prices were what you would expect mostly, although I found the soju prices pretty cheap. I would have given this place five stars, but I knocked one off or the sheer audacity they have to charge $2 for a 12 ounce bottle of generic water from Albertson's. For $2 I'd at least expect them to spring for Crystal Geyser or something, DAMN. Overall, I spent less money on my 3.5 hours at Feel than I would have seeing a movie and I had a whole lot more fun, so I highly recommend a trip if you're brave enough to sing off-key in front of your friends. Gorging yourself on bulgogi at BCD Tofu House before singing may or may not enhance your karaoke experience.

great for b-day parties or late night drinks w/ friends if you're asian...awesome music (hip hop/pop)...there is a VIP section that is pretty nice....great drinks.... I recently tried the pina colada and the apple martini here...they were sooo amazing b/c you can't taste the alcohol in the drink..which is how they're supposed to be made!!!
