    Chilli beans is a fabulous store at Irvine Spectrum. My son has been shopping there for about 7 years to find unique sunglasses and watches. Liam has been giving us excellent service, and has personally helped Sean many times. I highly recommend you shop at Chilli beans!

    SCAM/FRAUD ALERT!! Do NOT purchase from this store! I am utterly shocked and disappointed that a huge mall like Irvine Spectrum Center has a fraudulent store! Everybody (past or present customers) check your receipt's SUBTOTAL. They over charge you!! We got over charged $18!! And the worst part is they dont give you cash refund!? They absolutely did this on purpose so they can still keep the money they over charged if customers find out later about the over charge. This is absolutely outrageous and unfair. And it seems like they've been doing this for months according to other reviews with similar incidents. BEWARE!

    New Harry Potter sunglasses for these two :)

    Great collection of Harry Potter sunglasses make two children very happy today. Thanks!

    Cheap glasses!!

    The glasses are cheap because they are CHEAP!!...bought a pair of sunglass 2 months ago and yesturday the arm broke, didnt sit on them, didnt drop them, normal wear. Just cheap material. Now thats fine but the girl who sold them to me swore up and down if anything happens to them just bring them back no questions asked and they will replace them!....obviously that didnt happen because the same girl was here who sold them to me and she acted like i purposely broke them and refused to replace them. She said she promised no such thing, and i called her a liar and told her it was a $50 lesson and i would NEVER buy from this store again! They have bad business practice and thats probably why the store is empty!! BEWARE..DONT BUY!

The current state of customer service here is appalling, and I will be taking my business elsewhere. The front desk staff are not only incompetent but utterly rude. Dealing with them feels more like haggling with a predatory used car salesperson than visiting a healthcare provider. Here's why you should save yourself the trouble: * Insane Price Gouging: I went in for a simple quote to replace my lenses. They quoted me $300 for standard lenses. For comparison, both Warby Parker and Costco offer the exact same service for around $65. * Hostility Over Medical Records: When I realized their pricing was a scam and asked for a copy of my own prescription (as a patient of this office), I was met with immediate attitude. * Artificial Delays: They couldn't even give me a wait time for a simple printout, claiming "it would take time" to print a single piece of paper. They waited until later to say "their system is down" To LensCrafters Corporate: You are losing long-term, loyal patients because your staff lacks basic professional training and human decency. It's a shame that a decade of history with a clinic can be ruined in one afternoon by such an incompetent team. Bottom line: Do not go here for exams, and definitely don't go here for glasses. There are much better options nearby that actually value their customers.

Our doctor at the Beverly Hills Eye Center referred us to Dr Domínguez, Modern Eye Optometry, in Lake Forest.

Our fears were allayed immediately, and time and time again Dr Domínguez' expertise in optometry has been demonstrated. I had an opportunity to also see an ophthalmologist that when I mentioned I was under Domínguez' care, he said "Ah you are in great hands."

It's the right thing to do. I came there for a battery repair and got out with a broken watch. I was just here last weekend to get my Aquaracer's battery replaced. When I came back, my watch's crown is already detached from the watch. The employee changing the batteries was telling me that it's broken as if it already was broken to begin with. Absolutely not. Initially, she was saying that the crown was too tight and that there were resins present. And then she changed that statement to: she only opened the back to change the battery. She didn't touch the crown. But didn't she just say earlier that the crown was too tight? Also, please tell me WHY the date that was originally set to the 6th (the correct date) was on the 13th when I came back. Which means the crown was fine because she was able to turn it to change the date until she broke it. I was still able to adjust the date and time earlier that day. Now the crown is completely detached. It just falls to the side. It won't even stick to the watch. When I saw my watch, I just felt like crying. It was my late grandfather's gift to me. I felt like $65 was too much for a battery, but I was thinking, as long as my watch is safe it's okay. Well it's not. My original worst fear was the back case getting scratched, but it came out worse. My watch is broken. What's even worse is that the employee showed absolutely no remorse, no accountability, tried twisting her words so many times. SO YES, do review your CCTV because if it actually shows you working on my watch, it will show the truth. The employee was asking me to leave my watch there because the technician was off that day and that it will be looked at first thing in the morning. I said I there's no way I'm leaving my watch there and that I'm not paying for any repairs. She replied okay and that she will just take out the battery that she had already put in. OH WOW. After ruining my perfectly working watch, she even had the audacity to say that. Their services are not cheap. The least they could do is hire competent people to care for other people's watches. Also, if that employee was not sure about what she's doing, she shouldn't have touched my watch. They even told me that they deal with aquaracers on a regular basis. I don't think there's an ounce of truth to this. If they do, this wouldn't have happened. Anyway, another girl stepped in and said that I can bring my watch back the next day and they will fix it free of charge. I brought my watch there because I thought that the business was reputable. I was wrong. I brought my watch to the Tag heuer boutique that same day because there is absolutely no way I'm letting them "fix" my watch. I will post an update once the diagnosis is done and once the price estimate for the repair is emailed to me. The manager said that it will take a few weeks since their repair center is in a different state. I will be emailing you the invoice that Tag Heuer sends me. I hope that you at least cover the expenses. If I can give a negative score, I would.
