Which Sanchong KTV has the most reviews?

摩羯座KTV at No. 6 Zhengyi N. Rd. — 4.6 stars, 2,700-plus reviews, phone 02 2987 9966. It is the thickest of the four and the only independent that outscores the chains on volume. The door sits at the head of the road; Sanchong Station at No. 36 Jieyun Rd. is the cleaner approach, and it is about ten minutes on foot from the izakaya stretch on Sec. 3 Chongyang Rd. For parties of ten or more, or a night that runs to dawn, call and ask about the big rooms. Rates per the posted notice.

Is the place on Sec. 4 Chongxin Rd. a normal KTV?

The listing on B1 at No. 63, Sec. 4 Chongxin Rd. is filed under KTV — 4.6 stars, 107 reviews, 02 2986 9000 — but the shop name reads massage, foot soaking, pressure point work, oil work and a wellness house from start to finish. Singing is the add-on. If you want to sing, leave it off the list; you will walk into the wrong door. If you want a massage and then two songs, it is on the way — Cailiao Station sits on B1 at No. 150, Sec. 3 Chongxin Rd., five to ten minutes on foot toward Sec. 4.

Sanchong Has Exactly Four KTVs: The Thickest Sits at No. 6 Zhengyi N. Rd., the Chain Sits at the Taipei Bridge Head, and the Other Two Aren't What You Think

Q: Does Sanchong have a chain KTV?

One. 好樂迪KTV 新北重陽店 at No. 1, Sec. 1 Chongyang Rd. — 4.0 stars, 2,600-plus reviews, 02 2988 8738. A 4.0 is not a warning sign; it is what chains score. Fixed process, the fullest song library, a price list you can read, and points shaved off for equipment age and peak-hour waits. The address is the real advantage: No. 1 is the Taipei Bridge head, three minutes by car from Datong District on the other side. Small-hours room rates are usually the day's low, per the front desk.

Q: How do I sing cheap in Sanchong?

豪情卡拉OK, basement at No. 66, Sec. 1 Ziqiang Rd. — 4.0 stars, 240-plus reviews, 02 2971 0997. Old-style song selection, no decor to speak of, and four or five regulars singing until two in the morning costs noticeably less than a chain. A count in the low hundreds means it runs on regulars, not check-ins, so bringing people you barely know will fall flat. The other cheap route is timing: weekday afternoons are lowest, and room rates after midnight usually sit near the floor. Exact rates per the posted notice.

Q: Four isn't enough. Which district next?

Depends what you need. For a big room, a buffet bar, or on-site price comparison, Banqiao lists six; 錢櫃板橋店 at No. 6 Guanqian W. Rd. carries 5,300-plus reviews, the second-thickest KTV count in New Taipei. Ride the Zhonghe-Xinlu line to Touqianzhuang Station on B1, No. 18 Siyuan Rd., then two stops on the Circular line to Banqiao. For the crowd favorite, head to Xinzhuang: No. 19, Sec. 2 Zhonghua Rd. holds 20,000-plus reviews at 4.9, and the Xinlu line gets there without a change. If anyone drank, take a cab or a designated driver.

Sanchong lists four KTVs.

Four won’t fill a top-ten list, so this piece takes them one at a time, then covers when to cross the bridge instead. Names and scores are copied from the Sanchong KTV listings, as registered.

No. 6 Zhengyi N. Road: the thickest of the four

摩羯座KTV — 4.6 stars, 2,700-plus reviews, 02 2987 9966.

Independent, and still ahead of Sanchong’s chain house on review volume. The door is easy to find at the head of the road; Sanchong Station sits at No. 36 Jieyun Rd., which is the cleaner approach, and the izakaya stretch on Sec. 3 Chongyang Rd. is ten minutes away on foot.

It is the only one of the four that carries both big rooms and a regular local crowd. Parties of ten or more, or a night running to dawn: call this number, and settle headcount and time slot in that one call.

No. 1, Sec. 1 Chongyang Road: the chain sits at the bridge head

好樂迪KTV 新北重陽店 — 4.0 stars, 2,600-plus reviews, 02 2988 8738.

A 4.0 is not a warning sign. Chains score like this — fixed process, the fullest song library, a price list you can read, and points shaved off for equipment age and peak-hour waits.

The real advantage is written on the address. No. 1, Sec. 1 Chongyang Rd. is the Taipei Bridge head, three minutes by car from Datong District across the water. For a night out with friends from the Taipei side, this beats asking them to ride the MRT into central Sanchong.

Room rates in the small hours are usually the lowest stretch of the day, per the front desk.

The other two aren’t what you think

Basement, No. 66, Sec. 1 Ziqiang Rd.: 豪情卡拉OK — 4.0 stars, 240-plus reviews, 02 2971 0997.

Old-style song selection and no decor. A count in the low hundreds means it runs on regulars, not check-ins. Bringing people you barely know will fall flat; bringing your uncles is exactly right. Four or five people singing until two in the morning costs noticeably less than a chain. Rates per the posted notice.

Then B1 at No. 63, Sec. 4 Chongxin Rd.: 銀河男女時尚舒壓會館－按摩泡腳足壓指壓油壓 KTV 舒壓會館推薦精油按摩 2025網友推薦 — 4.6 stars, 107 reviews, 02 2986 9000.

Filed under KTV, selling massage and pressure work, with singing as the add-on. If you want to sing, leave it off the list. If you want a massage and then two songs, it is on the way — Cailiao Station sits on B1 at No. 150, Sec. 3 Chongxin Rd., five to ten minutes on foot toward Sec. 4.

What each house is actually for

Ten or more, singing to dawn: No. 6 Zhengyi N. Rd.
Friends from across the river, and a price list you can read: No. 1, Sec. 1 Chongyang Rd.
Four or five regulars, cheap, old-school is fine: basement at No. 66, Sec. 1 Ziqiang Rd.
You actually wanted a massage: B1 at No. 63, Sec. 4 Chongxin Rd.

Four houses, not four options — four different things. People who pick wrong usually aren’t complaining that the venue is bad, only that it was the wrong one.

When to walk in

Weekday afternoons are cheapest. That holds across Taiwan and Sanchong is no exception.

But the genuinely good slot here is the small hours. All four run to dawn, room rates after midnight usually sit near the day’s floor, and that is exactly when Sanhe Night Market on Central N. Rd. finishes packing up — the crowd walks over from that end.

Friday and Saturday between seven and ten, stay away. All four are busy at once, and both 摩羯座KTV and the Chongyang Rd. chain will have a wait. The time spent queuing is better spent eating.

When to change trains

The cases where four isn’t enough are clear enough.

Big rooms, a buffet bar, on-site price comparison: Banqiao lists six. 錢櫃板橋店 at No. 6 Guanqian W. Rd. carries 5,300-plus reviews at 4.1, the second-thickest KTV count in New Taipei. Ride the Xinlu line to Touqianzhuang Station on B1, No. 18 Siyuan Rd., then two stops on the Circular line. The Banqiao KTV guide sorts them station by station.

For the crowd favorite, Xinzhuang lists three. 凱悅YESKTV 新莊店 at No. 19, Sec. 2 Zhonghua Rd. holds 20,000-plus reviews at 4.9, the largest count in New Taipei, and the Xinlu line gets there without a change — Xinzhuang KTV by occasion splits them by the kind of night. Cross-district rates are compared in how to pick a KTV in New Taipei.

Which end supper goes on

Think the order through.

Sanhe Night Market sits on Central N. Rd. and the stalls hold until around midnight; the KTVs run to dawn. Eat first and you catch the market and the cheaper rooms. Sing first and all that’s left outside is a convenience store.

To sit down and drink before singing: 老串角居酒屋-三重店 at No. 103, Sec. 3 Chongyang Rd. holds 5,000-plus reviews at 4.9, about ten minutes’ walk from Zhengyi N. Rd., and 老味噌居酒屋 - 三重店 at No. 46-6, Sec. 2 Chongxin Rd. carries 2,700-plus at the other end. Sanchong supper and singing lays out the clock; the Sanchong nightlife guide runs it by street.

If the room ordered another round, leave the car where it is. Cabs are easy to flag on Sec. 1 Chongyang Rd. and Zhengyi N. Rd. late at night, and anyone who drove should save a designated-driver number before the last order goes in.
