Matt Watson Review of Yakitori Boy & Japas Lounge

So the lounge with karaoke was nice, little too loud, but manageable. They seemed understaffed, and our service was intermittent and slow. Be aware, if you order normal sushi, it's 4 pieces for $3-4, not 6-8 for that price. Kind of annoying when it took 30mins to be brought out. Food was fine, it's a bar for the most part. Overpriced beer with little selection. You pay $2 per song to sing, which is fine, the playlist seemed pretty comprehensive and had a great selection. However, why I won't be coming back is partly for the above reasons and especially the biggest I issue I feel there is. We rented a large private room (15 person for $60/hr), only to find out that the playlist in the rooms was NO WHERE CLOSE to what the bar had. They system was straight from asia (2/3 English at best) and had maybe 2-3 songs for the big bands. No The Clash (which was played in lounge) or any of the other songs we heard after looking. Incredibly disappointing. The videos playing in the background were rather humorous (and distracting), as most were completely unassociated with the song or band. So, unless the playlists in the room are updated, won't be back. It's a shame, because it has such a high potential to be the best, if these issues were addressed.
