Echo Music Studio

Organized a birthday karaōke party for my hubby. We had about 17 people and were able to comfortably fit in the room supposedly for 15 capacity. Room seats about 14 – 15. There was also a huge sturdy wooden table available which I was really happy with since I brought food for all the guests so we had something to place the food and cake. Establishment was also BYOB so worked out perfectly for me. Overall we had a great time. There is something about the acoustics in the room and with the background song music sounding like the actual radio version, it helped us maintained the melody. The voices were projected pleasantly which we all sounded awesome compared to other karaōke joints. Not sure how else to explain but overall the karaōke system seemed to enhanced our voices. Anyway, my guests do want to go back again which means the place was a hit. It is located inside the Pines Plaza mini-​mall. Price was also affordable.

Do you enjoy screaming your lungs out in the car listening to music? If yes, then this is the place for you! A lovely Karaōke place conveniently in Edison in Route 27 near Rutgers University.
This place offers songs in many different languages. It’s basically English and a few East Asian languages such as Korean, Japanese, and Chinese (there are a few others as well). I mostly sang in English.
I noticed that there was not much of a variety in English songs. Majority of them were older songs that were very popular. They do not have a lot of new ones. However the Korean songs were updated very well. I would sing more often in Korean if I could read fast enough -.- But oh well.
This karaōke place is a bit pricy. $ 60 for the first hour and it keeps on decreasing per hour. I believe the price is based off per room than the number of people.

If you live in this area, and are with your friends who are craving a trip to K-​Town in NYC for some karaōke, but do not want to drive all the way there… Echo Music Studio is your solution!
Located in Pines Plaza in Edison, NJ, I first would have to say if you come here to visit the other establishments, you will not even notice a karaōke establishment being around unless you already knew about it. This is because there is no sign saying it is a karaōke spot, just a little sign above the entrance saying «KTV». I have had people mistakenly enter the other establishments next to it looking for Echo Music Studio. Once you finally enter this single door, you go up a flight of stairs and see someone who will directly you to the appropriate room that is recommended for your party size.
Once you enter your room, go start singing! This is mainly a Korean establishment owned by Korean owners, so they have a vast selection of Korean songs. However, they have multiple songbooks, a search function on the remote for the TV (for multiple languages) so you can find many songs you want. They have a nice variety of American music and even a nice selection of more recent songs within the last year or two. What also is nice is that room also has couches, a table, two mics, two tambourines, and at least in the larger rooms, have a screen in the front and back so if you are «performing» and facing the couches and your friends, you can still visually see the lyrics without turning around.
This place is BYOB and food, which is great, so you can just pick up some liquor nearby and you are ready to drink, loosen up, and sing your night away! The place does have some bottle water you can purchase in case people are drinking a little too much.
But anyways, the prices are affordable per hour of room rental per person and there are around 10 to 12 rooms available at difference sizes. I would recommend trying to call ahead for a large party to try and reserve a large room and warn them ahead of time.
So finally, even though you may not be Korean or even Asian, there will still be a vast selection of songs you can choose from to sing!

Everything is right in the world when I moonwalk in a disco filled private room singing Man in the Mirror by the King of Pop himself. I even got the whole «ow! Ugh! Hehe!» thing perfected. Throw in a bunch of my coworkers after a long day’s hard work and the funny as hell memories start to pile up. Seriously Echo Music Studio is a hidden gem in the middle of Route 27 in Edison, NJ. It’s owned by a Korean business owner and the whole place really feels like it’s been transported from K-​Town in NYC to humble little Edison. It’s located in the Pines Plaza next to a spa, urgent care center, and restaurants. The studio is located on the second floor. There are approximately ten rooms for rent and one giant party room that can hold over 30 people. I wouldn’t recommend it because it just feels like a giant hall to hold a party. The room that my group got was for 15 people and I tell you we were more than comfortable in there.
When you first walk through the door and up the stairs you instantly know that this place is different. It’s bright (like neon lights everywhere bright) and at the top of the stairs is a flat screen playing K-pop…go figure. Then you go into the room and you are greeted with a huge table in the middle, comfy lounges, two flat screens, disco lights, two microphones, two tambourines, and one remote that might take some time getting used to if you’re not familiar. As for me karaōke is second nature and I had no problem finding the songs and showing others how to as well. Since this place is BYO everything we had plenty of snacks and alcohol to fuel the shenanigans that arose. We sang everything from Let It Go to Faithfully to All About that Bass! Everyone genuinely had fun and by the end of the night I barely had any voice left. Still I was never gonna surrender that easily so for the last song everyone helped out with Barbie Girl and that right there is the very reason why karaōke is loads of fun and why cell phones should not be allowed to record any of said embarrassing moments!

This place is awesome. Perfect place to have some fun with a good group of friends. It is BYOB. They also have cool lighting that goes on with each song you choose. Inexpensive and worth every penny! There should be more places like this. Def a must check out place !

Owner is nice and he explained how the karaōke system works, the bathrooms are clean, the room for three people is spacious, I liked the cool lighting, there are a lot of songs in different languages but it definitely caters more to Korean songs. The system is a little hard to use though if you want to find, for example, a Chinese song.

This place is amazing. Stop at the liquor store down the block and head over to the sketchy single black door with the lit Korean lettering above it in the very corner of the shopping center. The pleasant older Asian gentleman will direct you to a lovely room with two mics, two song books, two tambourines, two t.v.‘s and a karaōke machine. He can also supply a bottle opener if you need one.
The funniest part is the song books. They’re huge but 75% Korean so unless you speak and read Korean or just know a lot of Korean pop music, there isn’t an extensive song choice. It’s fairly inexpensive and was perfect for the birthday we were celebrating.

Its an excellent place for a private party. Not the easiest to spot. We came in on a Friday night in a large group of 15+ people. They really hosted us well… good selection of songs, disco lights and lots of fun. Check it out!

Sing like a K-​pop star! Or American Idol star! Or (insert nationality here) star!
Karaōke is a nightmare for many. With a bit of liquid courage, anyone can be a diva! This institution understands that which is why they have a BYOB policy. What better way to loosen up before acting a fool than to have a couple drinks?
Clean, spacious and a great sound system, what more can you ask for? Monitors on each wall so you can perform without being confined to the couch, you ask? You got it!
Last words: I understand this place is catered towards a Korean crowd, but it’d be nice to have a larger English song selection. We had fun regardless.
