Reviews for HIVE | Karaoke & Golf in San Diego, CA

Chicken is super fuego however bar/wait staff showed zero care for customer service or customer experience. Waited 20 minutes to... get drinks even though there were no other customers and we could see the bartenders chatting with each other. Golf simulatoris cool if you bring your own clubs as they have half a set to use for loaners. Read more

Song selection for the machine was pretty bad. Lots of songs simply didn't play/load. Lots of errors. Service was meh, most of... the time they didn't check in regularly. Only in the beginning was service good. We had to go to the front to order food/drinksnumerous times. Maybe it was because our party was too big? Food and drinks were great though. Maybe service was just a fluke,will try again. Read more

It’s a cool space with a lot of private karaoke rooms and decent food and drinks. Prices aren’t bad either. The parking lot... is a bit small so sometimes parking is difficult. Also, they should make the English song selection much simpler or have clearinstructions. There are many, many Korean songs and it can be confusing at times. Read more

I’m here now. We’ve yet to run out of English songs and we’ve been here over an hour, you just have to search for them. So... far we’ve had a (much better than expected) good time!! The fries and ranch are good. The only reason I’m not rating fivestars is that it feels a little dirty here. Not the most visually appealing and the batteries are taped into the remote. Butother than that it’s been a super fun time. I’ve never done a room for karaoke but I’ve had an awesome time here so far!! Read more

Food is good. Mostly fried chicken and fries. English song selection is limited. Parking is hard to find. But we had fun. Ok to... bring own cake for birthday celebration. Read more

I wanted to like HIVE a lot, but I just couldn’t after my friends’ and I’s experience there. I booked 3 weeks in advance,... but when we showed up, we were put into a room with no air conditioning. I really hate inconveniencing staff on busy nights, butthe room was ABSURDLY hot, and the room across from us had nobody and no incoming people for the 2 hours we spent singing. Whenwe asked if we could please have the room, we were told it was booked - Which is odd, because… Nobody was there, the wholetime (photo attached). We also requested water which wasn’t delivered to us multiple times. All in all, I was charged $144 foran experience in which our room was equivalent to a sauna and we were not given what we asked for, and as much as I wanted HIVEto be my go to karaoke spot in San Diego, I just can’t do so. I wish I had my money back. Read more

The chicken was good, my favorites would have to be the sweet and spicy sauce as well as the passion fruit mule, but the service... was really slow. It could be because of the pandemic and service workers being hard to find, but everything seemed to be a 30-45min wait. Bartenders were super nice as well as the wait staff that was around. Sadly, all the karaoke rooms were full so Idefinitely missed half of the experience of this place. Read more

I was surprised that I actually like this place! I’m not a fan of the other rice chicken competitor in north county. But this... one won me over. First off, it’s located inside HIVE. There was no one at the front table so I walked inside towards the bar.It’s best if you call in for your order to give at least 30 minutes. We got there in 20 minutes but from the time stamp ofwhen I placed the call to the time on my receipt, it was 35 minutes. Parking here is really bad. It’s always packed and thespaces are tiny! We got the Spicy Soy and Sweet & Spicy. Honestly, it doesn’t look like the photo based on the color and itwasn’t spicy. Couldn’t really tell them apart but if I had to guess, one was slightly sweeter than the other. The Sweet &Spicy was like a wet sticky sauce and it was only at the bottom of the box so only parts of the chicken had the sauce. Itwasn’t evenly distributed. Each box of chicken came with 4oz diced pickled radish. It doesn’t come with coleslaw like itsays on the menu. The rice flour made it lighter, fluffier, crispier. Usually when it comes to Korean fried chicken, I’m doneafter two but I ate 3 and they were huge. We got the half. We also got Cajun Fries and tried 3 additional sauces. The honeygarlic, sweet & spicy, and angry sauce. It’s 4oz for $2 or 2oz for $1. We got the latter. The fries were nothing special. Forthe sauces, I love the honey garlic because it reminds me of eating honey with American fried chicken. Read more
