Twister Karaoke

Small karaoke place, it was just okay. They do really need to wipe clean the screen of the song selection machine though.

Given that this karaoke spot is in a location where there are several other (cheaper) options just a few steps away, you would think that the staff would take this into account in how they treat their guests. I have been to multiple karaoke spots around Toronto and in the same area as Twister, but I have never before received such poor treatment from staff:During our experience we learned:1. No outside drinks were allowed, including closed water bottles. They thought we might be bringing in alcohol despite the bottles never having been opened before, and even if it was water, they are a business" and instead want us to purchase their $3 water bottles.2. They charged us the incorrect amount

No real complaints for Twister - it's a very affordable karaoke joint in the Yonge and Finch area. That doesn't take into account the cost of alcohol but it will always be expensive so I won't let that impact my review. We couldn't get a room at any nearby places but Twister could take us with a short 10 minute wait, so we decided to give it a try. The employees are helpful and we had no issues with getting a room and payment.The rooms aren't old, but things are a bit outdated. For example, the wallpaper isn't the most aesthetic but it's not a big deal - just go out in the hall if you want to take photos for memories. They had most of the songs we were looking for and had a secondary screen where people could see the words if we couldn't see the medium sized main TV. That secondary screen could be moved around which was convenient. Their system is connected to Youtube, which is great, because they had some very new songs that came out just a few days before we went! Really appreciate that compared to other karaoke places that don't regularly update their songbooks.One other plus for me is that the room didn't smell like smoke - something that we usually take for granted.

Worst experienced ever in the past weekend visited. They made us paid deposit for 1h in advanced to reserve a room which is fine. When we arrived 15mins early then scheduled just to make us wait 25mins more to get a room since they have to kicking other customers out which i found it very rude.Things keep getting worse right at the start, The Karaoke machine connection didn’t work so they took 30mins to restarted the machine and it finally working for a proximately 1h then it lost connection again. They forced to move us to a bigger room in the bs and charge us the same amount of time without any deductions when we checked out. On top of that they took advantage of us with the invoice thinking we were drank and tried to cheat the bill right in front of us. SO GREEDY!!!PLEASE BECAREFULL WHEN YOU DECIDE TO VISIT HERE.

If you're going with a big group be prepared to go into a room that's located right next to the washroom and smells like one too. Although they cleaned it right before we went in (we saw the guy with a mop and bucket in hand) it smelled like a heavily used washroom.It's $7/hour but they don't split the bill on weekends apparently after 9PM. There was no sign of this in the store when we went in. The owner however decided to split the bill for a group of Koreans around 10:30PM but refused it to do it for my group of 8 (a mix of Chinese, Japanese and Russian). When someone in my group asked for an explanation why he replied Just because I'll do it for someone else doesn't mean I'll do it for you."This is just poor business. I will not be coming back here"

We went here with a group of 6 because our usual karaoke place down the street was full. We were assigned a spacious room at the back that wasn't too hot. The karaoke machine was decent; it allowed song selection via YouTube using Wi-Fi. However, there were occasional disconnections or glitches, although the overall karaoke experience was enjoyable. The only downside I would mention is the high cost of alcohol. We should have been more aware of the prices before placing an order. A bottle of Soju is priced at $23. I can't complain too much about the prices since we didn't inquire beforehand, and the surprise of the expense was a letdown. Given the price, I cannot rate this place higher than 3 stars, and I do not recommend it to others.

Pros:- The service was good and the song selection was quite extensive with lots of new stuff.Cons:- They charged $10 extra per hour even though they quoted me a different price when I called two different times.- Was on main floor and the room was boiling, we had to open the door constantly to try and get some cool air in.

A great karaoke spot in a prime location with tons of song selections run by an amazing team! We’ve been coming here for many many years and have celebrated many milestones here. This will continue to be our go to place in the area! As long as you respect and follow the rules of the establishment and come with a fun group, there’s no complaints really!

Dont bother coming here, there are many many better places around the area and is a lot cheaper. the staff is rude and unprofessional, they also lied about the bill pricing, it was very frustrating, our group decided to just pay and move on with our lives in the end, but it really isnt worth it here. There are many other reviews that tell you the same, do yourself and your friends a favour and just go elsewhere.

My review is late; however, it's still worth saying that I wouldn't recommend this place at all. The reviews below are quite telling. The staff are quite rude and unprofessional when it comes to customer service. They are not transparent about their pricing and it most likely because they know what they are doing is unethical. First time my friends and I went, everything was fine. Second time we went, we were overcharged significantly. We asked for an itemized receipt to see the charges and they refused to give it to us because they knew we were aware of being charged incorrectly. When we asked about it, one of the male staff members became verbally aggressive. They likely overcharged us because we had a bottle from outside with us the second time we were there. Even so, we did buy alcohol from the establishment while we were there. If we were not allowed outside bottles, they should have asked us to remove the bottle or leave. Instead they took the bottle (which WE paid for and was OUR property) and then proceeded to overcharge us and to this day we don't know why. Unprofessional and not a good way to do business. The walls are covered in stuff and signage is not clear. Consumer Affairs Canada should take a look at these reviews and ultimately the business to see if this business in violation of ethical business practices, especially when it comes to confiscation of others property and charging for services without transparency.
