Bulgogi pizza at Juju Norae Town, a Busan karaoke room bar

Today's recommended review: a Busan karaoke bar, Juju Norae Town.

Where is Juju Norae Town and what are its hours?

Juju Norae Town is on the 4th floor of 13-1 Gwangbok-ro, Jung-gu, Busan, and it's super close to Jagalchi Station, so it was really easy to find. Hours are Monday to Sunday 18:00 to 05:00 the next day, and Friday–Saturday until 06:00, open year-round with reservations available.

Hi everyone! Today I visited Juju Norae Town, where you can enjoy a clean karaoke place and delicious side dishes at the same time >< I really wanted to eat some good food and sing my heart out to blow off some stress!!

Eating something delicious with my boyfriend in the evening and then singing is basically my greatest happiness, and this place turned out to be exactly the perfect spot I was looking for!! I really want to tell people visiting Busan, or anyone looking for something to do around Nampo-dong or Jagalchi, about this place!! I'll walk you through my honest review now, so I hope you enjoy reading!!

What is the inside of Juju Norae Town like?

From the moment you step into the 4th-floor corridor, Juju Norae Town has a dark-toned interior with mood lighting throughout. As soon as I walked in, the hallway already had this clean, upscale atmosphere!!

With the dark interior and mood lighting, photos come out really nicely, and overall it was clearly very well kept and clean!!!

Juju Norae Town menu and prices

Our order this time was a basic room for ₩25,000 and a bulgogi pizza for ₩28,000. Juju Norae Town has a smart T-order tablet installed inside the room, so you can order comfortably from your seat without having to call a staff member over!!

• Basic room ₩25,000
• Bulgogi pizza ₩28,000

Looking through the menu, there was such a wide variety that I had the happy problem of not knowing what to choose~~ From stews and hot pots that pair well with soju, to pizza and fried snacks, dried snacks and fruit — they had it all!!

They even have premium whiskey set menus with Yamazaki, Hibiki, Balvenie and Glenfiddich, so it's perfect for setting the mood on a special occasion!!

Room condition and mic sound quality

The room at Juju Norae Town has soft sofas wrapping around the whole space, with an induction stove installed in the middle of the table. When I walked into the room, I was genuinely surprised at how spacious and comfortable it was!! There was room to spare even with a whole group inside!!

There's an induction stove in the middle of the table to keep the food warm, which I thought was such a thoughtful touch haha. The lighting inside the room wasn't too dark or too bright, just the right cozy mood for chatting comfortably with friends!! There was no musty smell at all and the AC was blasting, so it was comfortable the entire time we were there!!

The most important thing at a karaoke place is obviously the equipment and sound, right?! Juju Norae Town has a large HD screen installed, so the lyrics were crisp and easy to follow, and I could stay focused the whole time!! But above all, the mic sound quality was absolutely insane..

When I held the mic and sang, the resonance was so good and the sound came out so cleanly that I almost fooled myself into thinking I sounded like an actual singer!! Also, on weekdays the time is unlimited once you enter, so my boyfriend and I, both big fans of singing, sang until our throats were sore~~~

How far do the free side dishes go?

The free side dishes at Juju Norae Town included tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), fried snacks, a fried egg, patbingsu (red bean shaved ice), and even fish-shaped manju (sweet pastries). While we waited for our bulgogi pizza, the table filled up so much that I had to ask if we'd accidentally ordered something extra.

We ordered the bulgogi pizza and were waiting, and wow.. once the free side dishes started covering the table, I was genuinely shocked... I found myself asking, "Boss, are you sure we didn't order this?" — there were so many dishes and it was so generous!! Doesn't the photo look amazing...?!

From spicy-sweet tteokbokki to crispy fried snacks and a fried egg!! They even gave us patbingsu, refreshing like a dessert, and sweet fish-shaped manju as part of the free spread!! And out of all the ramyeon (instant noodles) I've had, the karaoke-place ramyeon was especially delicious haha. I cracked an egg right into it and it was so good.

When we paid and were leaving, the owner made sure to send us off with cold ice cream — such a nice touch. After singing your heart out at karaoke you get a bit warm and flushed, and right at that moment, cold ice cream...

Out of consideration for other guests, it's one cold ice cream per person, and with that you get to enjoy a perfect karaoke experience haha.

Is Juju Norae Town worth a visit in Nampo-dong?

For this visit to Juju Norae Town near Jagalchi Station in Busan, I honestly want to give it 200 out of 100 points!!! The location is super accessible, and the interior and room condition were so clean that I felt good the entire time I was there. The free side dishes and food were delicious enough to call this place a food destination in its own right, and thanks to the up-to-date sound system and top-quality mic, I could really feel the joy of singing!!
