EMA Karaoke & Bar
About This Spot
Stepping into EMA Karaoke & Bar feels like slipping into a warmly lit gathering spot where laughter and music drift through the air like familiar friends. Nestled along El Camino Real in Santa Clara, this lively yet inviting space offers the kind of atmosphere that encourages both spirited singalongs and casual conversations. The rhythm here is comfortably unhurried—whether you’re warming up with a handful of friends or celebrating a special evening out, the mood invites you to settle in and savor the moment.
What sets EMA apart is the seamless blend of traditional karaoke culture with a modern twist, thanks largely to the use of YouTube Premium for song selection. This means whether your heart is set on a classic Korean ballad, an English pop anthem, or even a Bollywood favorite, the playlist feels truly endless. Private rooms provide an intimate backdrop, thoughtfully designed to accommodate groups of all sizes without losing that personal touch. Meanwhile, the main bar hums quietly for those who prefer to soak in the scene or share a drink between songs.
Food and drink here gently enhance the experience without overwhelming it. Shareable snacks like crispy fried dumplings and corn cheese invite relaxed grazing, perfectly complemented by thoughtfully crafted cocktails and a variety of drinks ranging from Korean rice wine to familiar favorites like Absolut vodka. The menu balances approachable flavors with subtle nuances, encouraging guests to focus on the music and company, while still feeling well cared for by the kitchen and bar.
The true heart of EMA beats in its attentive, warm staff who make the space feel open and accommodating without being intrusive. Their kindness and flexibility help create a welcoming vibe where guests of all backgrounds and ages can feel at home—from families making new memories to groups chasing the perfect karaoke night out. It’s a place where moments are shared more than just songs, and where every visit can feel like a little celebration of community and joy.

Great service. Remind me of the Karaoke places back home (Beijing). Haesoo was really helpful and friendly. Took my kids too and they loved it. Will definitely come back.

Genuinely one of the best karoke experiences I've had! There are mutiple private well equipped Karoke rooms for groups big and small along with the general bar. I had a small group of three and I absolutely loved my experience and service - I ended up running late and the staff were super accommodating! Just make sure to set a reservation first haha. I got to have my dream karoke experience for my birthday this Halloween and I plan on coming back as often as my freinds will let me! As someone new to the bay this has been my favorite experience so far

They have rooms where you can do karaoke and play the music on youtube. Me and my group had a lot of fun, we played Bollywood songs. Staff was nice and welcoming. We had Grape Soju with beer, 2 bottles each. It was very sweet and tasty. Also had garlic edamame, they were really good. Also ordered nachos without meat. They were not that good.

my friends and I had the most amazing time here! the facilities are super clean, and the option to have youtube play as karaoke is a game changer since we can sing all our english and korean songs that aren’t usually out in the usual karaoke systems :) they have happy hours as well! the server minji (MJ) is also super sweet and helpful— this was our first time coming here and using a youtube karaoke so she guided us through everything :)

Such a great karaoke spot! Love coming here on the weekdays because their Happy Hour deal is so great. And it’s usually empty so no reservation necessary on weekdays. Minji is always so nice & helpful

Such a fun karaoke spot! I love coming here on weekdays — the Happy Hour deals are amazing, and it’s usually quiet enough that you don’t even need a reservation. Minji is always super kind and helpful
