K-Rok Korean Barbecue & Karaoke
Tuesday - Saturday, starting at 5 PM
The only destination with karaoke in its name adopts the Korean tradition of noraebang, or “singing rooms.” Instead of singing your heart out in front of strangers, K-Rok lets you reserve one of three private rooms to harmonize together with friends and family. Reservations are for two-hour blocks and the music library includes everything from American Top 40 to K-Pop.
