Some people go to therapy. Others scream-sing their hearts out in a karaoke room with friends and bottomless snacks. If you’re the latter, welcome to the club.
Karaoke in KL isn’t just about belting out your best Adele impression—though we fully support that. It’s a whole vibe. Whether you’re blowing off steam after work, celebrating something big, or just craving a private concert moment, there’s a karaoke spot for every mood and budget.
And let’s be real—while there’s no shortage of karaoke joints around the city, not all are made equal. So we scoured the Klang Valley for four karaoke spots that go the extra octave, offering not just song selection but atmosphere, affordability, and some tasty bites too.
1. Karaoke Manekineko

This Japanese chain landed in Malaysia in 2019 and quickly became a crowd favourite. With outlets in malls across the Klang Valley, Karaoke Manekineko brings a bright, family-friendly vibe with its signature pastel interiors and cheerful atmosphere.
Rooms come in all sizes, including VIP options that can host up to 30 people and Studio Rooms for up to 50—perfect for parties, reunions, or just an extra-dramatic rendition of your favourite heartbreak song. Even kids are welcome, thanks to dedicated children’s rooms with built-in mini playgrounds.
Every session includes free-flow soft drinks and snacks, making it an easy choice for longer singing marathons. And if you need something more filling, the menu features a variety of Japanese dishes that pair surprisingly well with belting out ‘Lemon’ by Kenshi Yonezu.
Price range: RM9++ to RM24++
Locations: Paradigm Mall PJ, Sunway Putra Mall, Sunway Velocity KL
2. Loud Speaker Karaoke

A mainstay in Malaysia’s karaoke scene, Loud Speaker has been serving good vibes and singalong anthems since 2009. Designed with casual hangouts and post-work gatherings in mind, the brand has built a loyal following with 14 outlets nationwide—including several in KL.
Their rooms are simple but stylish, featuring colourful lighting, plush sofas, and updated tech that makes it easy to queue your next favourite track. What really keeps people coming back though? Affordable pricing and consistently great snacks. Whether you’re into truffle mash, or popcorn chicken, you’ll never have to sing on an empty stomach.
Loud Speaker’s song selection is also constantly updated, spanning everything from Cantopop classics to English indie hits. It’s a great pick if you want a stress-free, budget-friendly night out with solid sound and no fuss.
Price range: RM10++ to RM30++
Locations: MyTown KL, Sunway Pyramid, The Starling Mall
3. Red Box Karaoke

You know that friend who always sings like they’re headlining a sold-out arena? This is the place for them. Red Box is one of Malaysia’s OG karaoke brands, and since its launch in 2000, it has carved a reputation for turning karaoke into an all-out production.
Everything about Red Box feels amped up—from the oversized party rooms to the LED-lit stages and powerful audio systems that make you sound (almost) like a pro. Their outlets often collaborate with local artists, and occasionally host karaoke-themed events that add an extra dose of energy.
Song selection is expansive, with options in English, Mandarin, Korean, Malay, and more. It’s a one-stop shop for everything from birthday bashes to team-building nights. The slightly higher price point is justified by the premium experience, and it’s a crowd-pleaser if you want to go big.
Price range: RM25–RM50 per person
Locations: Pavilion KL, The Gardens Mall, IOI City Mall
4. CEO Karaoke

Part of the Neway karaoke group, CEO Karaoke first opened in 2010 at Fahrenheit 88, bringing a more refined and luxurious feel to the city’s karaoke scene. Since then, it’s grown into four upgraded outlets across KL and PJ—including CEO SS2, CEO Eastin Hotel, and CEO Premier at KH Tower.
What sets CEO apart is its commitment to comfort and inclusivity. The rooms are sleek and stylish, with plush seating and ambient lighting. True to Neway’s “healthy family concept,” CEO offers a welcoming space for both adults and kids. Expect a massive song library with selections in Korean, Japanese, Mandarin, Malay, Tamil, Vietnamese, and even children’s songs.
The vibe here is elevated, but still casual enough to let loose. Whether you’re celebrating something or just want to treat yourself to a more polished karaoke session, CEO delivers with top-tier sound systems, excellent service, and a spotless environment.
Price range: RM35++ to RM38++ (Happy Hours start at 1pm)
Locations: Fahrenheit 88 KL, Premier KL, SS2 PJ

These four spots offer way more than just song lists. They’re a vibe, a break from reality, and sometimes, exactly what your week needs.
So round up your crew, warm up those vocal cords, and go make some noise.
