Amador Karaoke

I have been coming here since my junior year of high school and 6 years later, this place still does not disappoint. The rooms have remained clean and are very spacious for the price they offer. On average, a group of five could pay $ 6/​hour per person. The downside is that their karaōke system is updated regularly, but their binders are not, so unless you know how to operate the system, finding a newer song can be a challenge. On the bright side, the staff is always very attentive and friendly, so if you do require assistance, you’re sure to get it.
Overall, if you want a really nice and affordable private karaōke experience, Amador is the place.

The experience was nothing less than excellent. I usually go here with my friends every weekend. The song selection, great service and cleanliness is why I love this place the most out of any other karaōke spots around the area. I definitely recommend you to give this place a try!

Random night out with my neighbors! We spontaneously found sitters and set out for a local night on the town.
After dinner at Amakara, we walked just a few blocks down to the neighboring shopping center (with the dollar store) and was surprised to find this little gem.
My first time trying karaōke — glad it was a great experience!
Decent set up, drinks and fees on the pricier side, but excellent service, great selection of songs and DEFINITELY a great time.
Would strongly recommend! Better than bowling, that’s for sure! ;)

Like many reviewers have previously stated, there’s not much for the average 20-​something to do in Dublin in terms of nightlife. The area is still developing in that department (but hey there’s a Whole Foods and a Nordstrom Rack coming soon, rejoice) but this place is a god-​send for those who don’t want to venture too far for some late night fun. Ok, I’ll break this down nice and simple:
1. They are open ’till 2:00 AM
2. The owner and staff are super helpful, attentive and friendly. I suggest you call in advance to reserve a room/​check on availability.
3. Like traditional karaōke places, they *might let you BYOW if you are (a) courteous about asking and (b) conscious of your cleanup and their lovely sofas. They totally don’t have to let you bring anything, remember that. They also sell beer here.
4. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and private. They even have tambourines so you and your friends can jam out together which is a really nice touch.
5. The price is right, especially when going with a large group.
6. Music selection is pretty good and surprisingly up to date. You’ll probably see most top 40 favs from pop and rap on there and the popular oldies. The last time I went (ages ago, regrettably) I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to horribly croon BOTH «Be My Baby» by The Ronettes and «F**kin’ Problems» by A$AP Rocky. If you are fond of wild and silly nights of bad singing/​rapping with your pals, this place is for you.
Bottom line, this place is what a good karaōke bar should be, chill and fun. These people definitely deserve your business!

I must’ve called Olaf (the manager) four times the day before and the day of: once to make the reservation, two times to update on the number of people attending, and once to ask about their alcohol policy. Each time, he picked up the phone promptly and was very amiable.
Alcohol policy: There is a «no alcohol sign» on the front door. However, when I called, I was told that a bottle of wine would be okay, just no hard liquor. Honestly, I would just call and ask ahead of time. I ended up bringing some hard cider and just made sure to clean up afterwards. They sell beer and water bottles (no water fountains).
When we arrived (located right next to Dollar Tree), we were led to the VIP room and Olaf oriented us to the room, showed us how to use the remote control, and indicated how to contact him if we needed assistance.
This place offers songs in Korean, Chinese, and Japanese (I might be missing a language). Great sound quality and an extensive selection of songs. We ended up staying for 3 ½ hours and getting charged the agreed-​upon rate of $ 6/​hour/​person for our group of 11.
I’m glad there’s a decent karaōke place in the East Bay area and I can see myself coming back when I’m in the area. Until next time!

This placeis really fun! I’ve been here about 4 different times now. Such a wide song selection, comfortable rooms, great equipment, and best of all — such great staff. The people working there are always so friendly & happy to see you. Nothing but smiles. It’s a very laid back place and great for little get togethers. it’s a tad bit pricey, would definitely recommend this place to any karaōke fan!

I absolutely love this place! I decided to do a karaōke party for my 30^th birthday, and my family was not in the least bit excited. Fast forward about an hour in the room and I couldn’t get them off of the microphone. I had been a couple of times before with a friend or two and each time we have received awesome treatment from the owner/​staff. The rooms are nice and the facilities clean. Can’t wait to go back again!

Great karaōke parlor! They have a good selection of music with various languages (Japanese, English, Mandarin, Korean, and perhaps others) to choose to your fitting. They open late which is very good for visitors to the Bay to hang out without traveling further. The staff was friendly and I will consider coming back if I am in the area again.

Awesome karaōke bar! Song selection is fantastic, very little wait time, and the folks that run it are nice. The beer prices are a bit steep but they have Bud, Miller, Coors, Sierra Nevada, and Blue Moon. Comfy couches, clean rooms, junk food for snacks, massive karaōke controllers, 2 mics in the room.

Great to find a korean karaōke place near home. No need to drive to san jose or oakland. All the employees are grrrrreat and attentive. The collection of music is good, i know they update their songs quite often… but again i do sing mostly korean songs, so have no idean about the availability of non-​korean music. The small room for up to 4 people (or maybe 5?) is only 25 bucks an hour. Great cheap option to relieve any stresd. They also sell beer and soju, cup-​o-​noodles etc. Will definitely recommend to others living in the tri-​valley.

There’s not a lot in Dublin but Lupe M. mentioned there was a karaōke place in my ‘hood where you get your own room. I gathered a small group and we went one Friday night. I recommend getting at least five people because if you spend an hour there, you only spend about $ 5 a person. We ended up staying for two hours so it was about $ 10 each total which isn’t bad. I called ahead of time to ensure my price and my room. They let you bring in your own wine — just no beer — make sure to get an ok from them first.
We also brought in snacks and food from Round Table.
The song selection is pretty random and often times the machines are a bit odd. It would stop after every song until we got the hang of the controller. Keep a list of songs in your head so then you can queue them up when you get there.
Staff were friendly and you can hear others singing when you use the bathroom.
I dunno the prices of the other items since we brought our own stuff. If you’re looking for something fun to do that won’t break the bank, stop by Amador Karaōke. It’s a bit hidden — in the walkway next to the Dollar Store.
Also, if you want cheap eats, stop by the Dollar Store before they close for some treats.

I learned about this place from a friend. I had a birthday party here for my 15^th year old daughter. Making the reservation was easy. I picked the biggest room they had. The price was $ 80 per hr. That night the room fit all 40 of my guests. We brought our own table that fit perfectly in the corner for our food and drinks.
The song selection was nice. It was a few things we wanted that wasn’t available, but overall we made it work. We ended up staying 30 minutes longer than my reservation and they were to accommodate us and just charge us the extra 30 minutes.
Overall we had a great and very fun party. We all plan to return again for any future parties.

TERRIBLE SERVICE, kind of.
I went here for my 18^th birthday and it started off super fun! I made reservations before it for 10 people. And the owner said it would be 60 dollars for one hour in a private room over the phone, which was fine. We would all split it. Then that night, after a night of fun and karaōke, we came out of the room, and this snobby Asian lady at the counter tells us its 100 dollars when the guy, (the owner), said it would be 60. I was angry because my teenage friends didn’t have that much money to spend! We don’t have jobs! I told them a set price before this night. So me and this snobby lady get into an argument and she’s screaming at me! Which isn’t how I want to be treated on my birthday!!! We ended up paying the 100 dollars and stormed out unhappy.
So then the next day, I called and demanded to talk to the owner, the one I spoke to before this incident. And he was really understanding and he mailed me a 40 dollar gift certificate, which was really thoughtful. So I did appreciate that.
I would never go back here again, regardless. I work in customer service and if I talked to anyone like the way this lady talked to me, I would get fired!

I love this place. Since there’s virtually nothing to do in Stockton; besides getting drunk and/​or getting fat (way too many bars and restaurants here) my friends and I come visit this place not just to sing, but to hang out, have fun, and live life the way it should be. NO, not the stupid people’s version of YOLO. Anyways, it’s very nice here. Great place to relax, have a fun time, or party out! Depending on who you’re with of course. ;D

Having only been to one other karaōke establishment in my life (because my mother believes that they are dens of vice and should be avoided at all costs in order to protect my virginity, innocence and what-​have-​you), I don’t really have much to compare Amador to. But I definitely liked what I saw! Tucked into the back of a parking lot near a Ranch 99, you would never expect it to be there.
Last I had checked, they were totally cool with BYOB so long as you check with them ahead of time. Their rooms are also incredibly clean and fairly soundproof (I could hear my room when I was coming back from the bathroom belting out a song, but I think we were also the only group there that weeknight), plus the lady who runs the place brought our little group of four a bowl of trail mix! We were so touched. Plus splitting the final cost when paying out was a breeze!
I would love to be able to come back and try them again, hopefully with a bigger group this time though. It’s just a shame that none of my friends are really into the karaōke scene. Though once I get a few drinks in their system, then maybe they’ll be more receptive to the idea. I’ll keep my fingers crossed!

For a place in the suburbs, I thought that this place was pretty good. Not only did they have fantastic service, they actually had a song selection that was pretty up to date.
We came in there with a group of 5 people, decided that we wanted to get food to bring in since they didn’t sell any at the location. We reserved a room, and it took us a half hour to get back. By the time we had gotten back, they had given away our room to others that came, but gave us an even better room at the same rate we had agreed to for the smaller room. I was quite amazed.
Then the woman gave us a bowl of popcorn even though we had already brought in a bunch of food.
The place was packed with people. It is definitely a hidden location not to be ignored.
I would definitely come back again. For a group of 5, we paid $ 12.50 for ~2.5 hours.

Love this place!
If you know Dublin, then you will know there is not that much you can do around here (other than our awesome IMAX theatre! –_​_​-​)
However, Amador gave us hope that Dublin was «cool» and a nice place to live around.
The staff here are super nice. They are accommodating and gave us snacks after we were there or a while. Song selection is pretty legit, and the rooms are clean.
AND! You can eat and drink in the rooms too, so that’s a nice plus!
Yay Amador, thanks for always letting have our karaōke fun :)

Well, La-​De-​Dah! Amador Karaōke was a little find!
Normally, I don’t frequent this kind of a place (my initial thoughts were that it would be about as much fun as the McDonald’s play land!) but I had a crew of middle school and high school young people who were looking for fun. I called this place and asked them to open an hour early for me, which was not a problem in their book. The guy at the desk warned me that Friday and Saturday nights they are booked solid (and it’s not unusual to have people hop for one room to another) ergo, the early booking.
I took the tour and saw all the rooms, which were nicely decorated. The Karaōke machine takes a bit to learn how to work, however, they have a «panic button» which calls the front desk guy who shows you how to take care of the issue. Even better, they bring you as much popcorn as you ask for (which works with teenagers and Amador Karaōke cleans up the mess).
The song selections are outstanding although the background screen leaves little to be desired. My teens sang their little hearts out… in fact, they’d like to come back (I think I’ll bring my mother-​in-​law next time).
It’s a little pricey here, but it’s good, clean fun!

Great place to hang out with friends who loves to sing!
Very friendly staff and very clean place. Their song lists has most current songs and it was organized pretty well I would say.
Guy (i think he was the owner but I am not sure) came in and helped us set up the room and the mics (wish they had wireless ones). He was a funny guy and started our night when he tried to start singing but ended up just playing around.
Overall, great clean place, friendly staff and comfy chairs! I will definitely come back if we around the area again!

Yea… it’s a strange place to have a nrb studio (behind China Wall Buffet in a shopping center) but that also means TONS of parking!
Hokai so… I’ll just highlight:
YES TO:
— POKER FACE (I don’t know why but the lady announced they had this song… I assume alot of ppl asked her? :P)
— Luxurious, comfy couches! LARGE rooms~
— Reasonably priced ($ 30-​$ 35/​small room seats 5 people comfortably — 2 hrs and we paid $ 12/​ea)
— TONS of songs.
— Nibbles provided by the front desk (pretzel mix and popcorn/​kettle corn? But we brought our own snacks)
— Very friendly staff
— They update new songs once every month or two. (He gets them straight from Korea the same day they update ~ then again, Korea is ahead an extra day)
NOT SURE TO:
— Having to switch a button everytime you change from the all asian song book to the all english book.
— Midi/​Music quality kinda sucked on the English songs but Korean songs sounded pretty good
— Dublin… I could just go to Jaguar for cheaper and it’s closer (but Oakland isn’t the safest place to be right now…)
I had a fun time :) I don’t know if I’d come here often but I’ll def. consider coming back !
