    This place is great!!! I can't recommend it enough. Came in on a random Sunday and it was pretty busy but I got helped out immediately. Service was great and attentive. I got my contacts exam no problem, got a test pair and got a trial pair ordered. Learned how to take the contacts on and off and met the doctor. Dr. Chen has been great with helping me with my first pair of contacts. I've come in to get some adjustments made and he's been very accommodating and helpful and patient, too! I'm stoked to have my first pair of contacts. It's gonna take some getting used to but I feel brand new! Would definitely recommend!

    Dr. Dickson Chen is the reason we've come back for over half a decade now! We love him and appreciate all that he does. Davich Optical is a gem because of him and all of LA would be driving to Ktown to see him if they knew what they were missing! Thanks again Doc!

    So I came to Davich for my sister prescription,first of all they have some much variety of glasses frames,all different types brands,customer service was amazing,Andy was helping my sister to pick a nice frame,you can tell Andy has experience and his recommendation worked out,prices are very affordable,I mean they have cheap and really expensive glasses,but the best part is cheap eye inspection for prescription,store was super clean and packed with a lot of customers Davich optical is highly recommended if you have any problem with your vision P.S ask for Andy to get amazing and professional direction

Dr. Kim is a mom too so she was amazing with my oldest daughter. I was so scared my daughter would freak out, but Dr Somi did absolutely amazing with her and she was totally comfortable and super happy. Dr Kim didnt even say anything when my youngest was being loud in the exam room and running around (my husband took her outside with a promise of a lollipop) where most Dr's may have gotten upset and kicked us out, she spoke and paused between loud laughs and screams for her older sister lol. My was a little disappointed that she wasnt getting glasses bc she found ones she loves, but I am through the roof with happiness lol. Anyways, old or young, Dr. Somi is amazing and now I am proud to be bringing the third generation of my family to this family business.

What keeps me coming back isn't just the quality of service--it's the genuine warmth and kindness you feel every time you walk through the door. Everyone is welcoming, attentive, and truly cares about their customers. During my recent visit, I was once again reminded why I've stayed loyal to this place for so many years. The staff took great care of us and made the entire experience comfortable and pleasant. It's rare to find a business that consistently combines professionalism with such heartfelt customer service. I'm happy to see them doing well in their new location and wish them continued success for many years to come.

    Disappointing change in customer service - Beware of the manager…read moreI have been a loyal customer of Keum Kang Optical since they were located in Rowland Heights. The owners and his wife were always incredibly kind, welcoming, and provided excellent service and fair pricing. Even after they moved to LA, I willingly made the long drive because of my trust in them. Their daughter became the optometrist a long time ago, and seeing her now made me realize how much time has passed and that the owners seem to be looking forward to retirement. Unfortunately, the customer service has severely deteriorated due to a middle-aged manager and a couple of senior staff members. This manager acts as if they own the place and has been consistently rude to both customers and new employees. I kept returning hoping it would improve, but every visit was uncomfortable. The breaking point was when a new employee correctly identified a lens mistake made by another staff member. Instead of being grateful, the manager publicly yelled at and took her anger out on that new employee right in front of customers. Seeing such unprofessional behavior made me decide never to return. I heard they recently moved locations again. If that same manager and those rude staff members are still working there, I strongly advise against going. The original owners built a wonderful business, but the current staff is completely ruining it.

    Full disclose, this review is regarding my experience only ordering glasses, no optometrist visit…read more TLDR: I got what I needed, but will keep looking for a different place for my family's needs. My toddler daughter needed glasses and we already had a prescription from her pediatric Ophthalmologist. I was searching for a place closer to home that carried toddler frames, because the recommendations from her pediatric Ophthalmologist at the Dohney eye institute in Pasadena were all in SGV. I called New Vision specifically asking about frames for my 20-month old and after being satisfied with their answers, made an appointment. However, their selection was disappointing and they didn't have the strap-on toddler frames, as I was told on the phone. I went with the only viable option reluctantly because I wanted to get the glasses and didn't want to waste more time. I gave them the prescription (in paper form) and they had trouble with their scanner so told me they'd give it back to me when we picked up the glasses. I asked if my daughter needed to be present, and they said yes. When glasses were ready, they texted me at 3:48 Friday asking me to make an appointment, and said they were closing at 4:15 and reopened on Monday. Had I been notified even a couple hours earlier, I could have rearranged my schedule instead of waiting until Monday. So that was disappointing. Finally when picking them up, my daughter tried them on but they didn't really do anything else so not sure why my daughter needed to be present or why I needed to make an appointment. And they also didn't have the paper prescription that I had been promised. The person giving me the glasses made zero effort and just told me how easy it is to request it again from the ophthalmologist office. I obviously know this. This just underscored to me that things aren't communicated properly about patient requests.
