I love this place! Incredibly kind staff, great drinks, and so much fun. The private rooms are so great for parties and the staff is super attentive to you to make sure you have everything you need. If you don’t have a reservation, the main area is a vibe too. 10/10
We had a fun time celebrating my sister-in-law’s birthday. The bar itself is a vibe but the drinks we ordered never came from the ceiling as expected in the room we booked. The music was really not great at times too. For some songs the lyrics were missing/incomplete, for others the lyrics were highly modified from the original version. The bar is 21+ only so the lyrics being bleeped or edited was absurd and made it very difficult to follow the song at times. You had to really know the songs well without having the words on the screen to guide you which misses the entire point of karaoke. We enjoyed our time in spite of these things but expect improvements before we would visit again.
Absolutely LOVE coming to Tokyo Kitty! We make it a must-do every time we’re in town because of the creative cocktails, energetic vibe, and exceptional staff! I mean seriously exceptional: incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful!! Be sure to check it out when in Cincy!
Rented out one of the large rooms for 2 hours for my boyfriend's birthday, as he and his friends have come here often! Everyone had a great time, and it's nice that you can bring in your own food/snacks. Would love to come here again the next time I'm in Cincy!
Reserved a room for six for two hours. Drinks are reasonably priced, well-crafted, and pretty tasty. Employees were also pretty nice and helpful. But the actual experience felt bare and poorly-executed. Cheap. The rooms are very minimalist in design, are not soundproofed (can hear other rooms singing, not to mention the main club room), and the karaoke tech is TERRIBLE: The music defaults to weird keys, is randomly out-of-sync with on-screen lyrics, and the song library is so minimal (do not go to the Japan-themed karaoke bar and expect to karaoke any Japanese songs or anime titles). Add to that the removal of past elements like drinks being lowered through the ceiling and robot deliveries, plus a mandatory gratuity added to your room reservation fee (not just your drinks, which itself is sensible), and I can’t help but feel Tokyo Kitty has gone out of their way to cheapen an experience (not the cost) that will eventually run out of one-time customers.
I really wanted to like this place. We booked a room for an hour for my friends birthday and the room was dingy and no where near as nice as pictured on their website. You are supposed to have a server come to your room to take drink orders, no one ever came and we kept having to go wait out at the bar to be served which ate into our time quite a bit. The song selection wasn’t very vast and many songs didn’t line up lyrics with the instrumental. Once you queue a song there is no way of skipping it which made no sense to us. Ultimately we will sadly not be coming back.
We came here to celebrate my wife’s 40th birthday with a small group of friends, and it was an absolute blast. I am not a karaoke person, and many of our friends were hesitant at first, too. But the atmosphere was so fun that every single one of us ended up singing! I completely made a fool of myself and enjoyed every moment of it. We found this place doing a simple search for "things to do in Cincinnati," and it lived up to the hype. Highly recommended! No pictures but still great time!!
