K.MARINA Ho Chi Minh karaoke & KTV · District 5

Overview

K.MARINA, listed as "K-MARINA KTV" or "659 KTV", is at 657–659 Trần Hưng Đạo, Ward 1, District 5. The District 5 stretch of Trần Hưng Đạo is lined with Chinese-style and local KTVs, including 1127 KTV and Cung Vĩnh Lợi, and works as the backbone of Chợ Lớn's nightlife.

Rooms and atmosphere

The published rate card lists small, medium and large rooms. Chinese-language booking sites market it as a "high-end karaoke experience" (高端卡拉OK体验), which places it in the Chinese-style KTV segment that caters largely to Chinese-speaking guests. We were unable to verify interior photos from the venue's own channels.

How it works and what it costs

From third-party listings (subject to change):

• Room charge: small 600,000 VND, medium 850,000 VND, large 1,100,000 VND
• Time-based packages also listed: 1–3 hours 1,000,000 VND, 3–4 hours 1,500,000 VND, then 500,000 VND for each extra hour
• Beer: Tiger and Heineken roughly 65,000–69,000 VND per can; Heineken Silver 250 ml 65,000 VND
• Water 49,000 VND; mixed fruit platter 550,000 VND
• 10% VAT, and one listing mentions a service fee on alcohol

Because the published price list mixes hourly and block-of-time pricing, ask on arrival exactly how your room will be charged. As across the city's local KTVs, tips for staff are typically paid separately in cash.

Location and getting there

Follow Trần Hưng Đạo west from the Bến Thành area; it is about a 15-minute Grab ride. Trần Hưng Đạo also has a District 1 section, so always add "Quận 5" to your search.

Tips

• Opening hours were not published.
• With many KTVs on the same road, look for the "659" house number on the sign.
• Before paying, ask how the alcohol service fee and VAT are calculated.
• Pair a visit with dinner in Chợ Lớn, where Chinese-Vietnamese restaurants stay open late.
• Small rooms are among the cheaper options on this stretch, which suits smaller groups.
