Ninja Karaoke - Bar Rescue Update

In this week's episode of Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer and crew are once again in Las Vegas to rescue Ninja Karaoke.  Ninja Karaoke is a karaoke bar owned by married couple Steve Corral and Mami Kanemitsu who bought the bar in 2017.  The bar was flourishing with popular events until the pandemic hit and then the bar was losing thousands per month. The struggles at the bar have caused Steve and Mami to put their goal to start a family on hold. 

During the Bar Rescue makeover, Jon Taffer decided to keep the name of Ninja Karaoke like all other bars during this season. Let's take a look at some information, reviews, and updates for Ninja Karaoke since Bar Rescue came and made all of the changes to the bar (All reviews are post-Bar Rescue):





Positive Reviews:

• "Nice little spot efficiency layed out ready for a party. Drinks prices are decent"
• "This place is awesome. Get there by 6:30 for a great deal on 2 hours of a private room and 2 drinks per person. The hostess was super nice and answered all of our questions, and we had a lot! Really good song selection, all digital on an iPad. Highly recommended and I'll be coming back!"

Conclusion:

It seems that they still do not serve any food.
