Mix 2

Total price gouge. Prevents all you can sing. Forces highest price possible. Price not ended up as advertised. AVOID!!!

Yes, even though I’m no singer, but an eater, I can vouch for the coolness of this place almost like walking into those showrooms @ new condos lol. that’s how easily impressed I get.
Didn’t know such places existed in this part of ‘east’ burnaby.
pretty reasonable rates, $ 22/​hr for up to 3 ppl. that’s enough for me, as i’m there just for the ambience.
lots of parking in this shared plaza, with Little Caesar’s right next door, and side street parking.

A group of girlfriends and I came here for the karaōke portion of my friend’s Staggette last night.
Seems like Mix 2 is a fairly new business. The interior of the space and rooms look newly furnished and clean.
Our experience:
I really wanted to give this place 4 stars because we all really enjoyed ourselves but… there were a few instances that lost them a star.
– When you book a room you are charged by the hour. None of us had ever been to Mix 2 so we didn’t know how to start the process of selecting songs on their system. For one the remote to select the songs was not in English. I realize that the majority of their clientele are multilingual. But for those of us who are not, wasted time that we’re paying for trying to figure out how to make our song selections. When the clerk brought us to our room she basically took for granted that we knew how to use the system, put the remote on the table and left not even asking us if we were familiar with how their system worked. After about 10 minutes of trying to figure it out ourselves we had to go and ask one of the clerks to come back and show us how to enter a song selection.
– The room they gave us was pretty small for 7 people not all of us (me) were able to sit on the banquette seat and had to sit on a stool (I know boo hoo), which means you don’t get the same experience as everyone else. Plus due to the fact that there were so many of us in the small room it became really warm & stuffy in the room. One of the girls went out to ask for water… $ 3 for bottle water and $ 2.50 for TAP WATER! eesh! We went for the bottled water anyways.
– Each time the same clerk came to our room (once to show us how to use the machine and to give us the water we ordered) we politely thanked her but she never gave any response/​acknowledgment to our «thank you» (each time she came to our room) nor did she make any eye contact, maybe I’m being kind of nitpicky (?) in this aspect but not to acknowledge your clientele showing you good manners and appreciation for your efforts is kind of rude.
All in all, we made it fun and we did have a good time.
I would give this place a second chance, being that I’ve only been there once, perhaps they were just having an off night.

The only joint i know that has up-​to-​date songs with the artists real music video
U gotta love Karaōke bars… private rooms with black lights large screens and 3 binders full of Chinese and English songs, and even a menu where you can order bubble tea and other shit. .
When you walk in, everything looks pretty clean., A cute lil Asian Hostess walks you and your party to your room where you pic your favorite top 40 jams and pretend to be famous K pop star and try to empress your date with your fine set of pipes! or has this happened to you? someone picks 5 or 6 songs and when it comes time for their turn, they totally flake out and pawn the song to the next person…
girl 1: «no no no i can’t, you sing it!!»
girl 2: «no you! you picked the damn song!!»
girl 1: «let’s sing it together»
girl 2“ok” :D
girl 1: «you sing the first verse «I don’t know it»
girl 2: me neither
ME: WTF seriously? (SMH) –_​_​– «NEXT SONG»!!!
happens all the freakin time!!! Anyhoo… a pretty good place if you have nothing else to do on a boring Friday or Saturday night.
Happy singing. ;)

English song selection are better than the one next to The One Restaurant. A large portion of their new english songs have their music video on the back ground. Warning: this is a chinese karaōke place, so don’t expect the english song selection to be as much as you think it will be. They have mostly english pop songs and they continue to add more pop songs every now and then.
Rates are not too bad. We went when it was all you can sing. There’s a charge for $ 5 for 1 – 3 people. So we ordered 2 drinks to cover that charge, which you’ll probably need when you sing for 3 to 4 hours.
They don’t have a booze licence, which is a good thing since rooms don’t smell.
