We did extensive research in picking our new piano which will be in our family for a very long time. I initially reached out to Steve Rivera who informed me of the different piano models and what to look out for before making our purchase. He was knowledgeable and available by text to answer our questions. We decided to stop by the Tustin location over the weekend to see the piano models in person. We met the owner who was also professional and pleasant to work with. A few days later our beautiful baby grand is inside our home. We are eager to teach our children the beauty of this amazing instrument and look forward to many years of enjoyment with our piano. If your in the market for a new piano I encourage you to stop by Kims before making a decision. Wonderful experience ! read more

Steve the manager was incredibly kind and helpful during the piano buying process. He took his time to explain the different brands and models. He also set us up with free delivery and a great piano tuner also called Steve. We will be getting a lot of use out of our purchase! read more

I'm really happy to find this store! I was looking for a grand piano and I'm so happy with all the different brands they had. Benjamin was so nice to not pressure me to hard but was awesome because he knew all the details of the different pianos! I ended up purchasing a beautiful Yamaha grand piano and I'm so pleased with it! Now i get to play and write music everyday! read more

Finally got the call for rescheduling and got the piano tuned today. As of now, 3.75 stars for my overall experience with Kim's Piano, for trying their best to make unhappy customer satisfied. read more

Bought our first piano here. The gentleman that helped us was really nice and gave us a great deal that included free delivery and tuning. They have a decent collection of pianos to choose from read more

We had a great experience buying a piano with help from Steve. We called around looking for an upright and found that we were presented with the best pricing right away. We came in, played multiple pianos, and chose the one that fit our needs without upsell pressure. Steve was always reachable, responsive, and assisted with complex shipping. Now we have a wonderful piano in our home, and we are happy with our experience. Thanks! read more

Awesome people, great pianos and more. I bought my piano last November and I love it. They give you a complimentary one time tuning and delivered it on the same day. Called them again a few weeks ago for the key and they had it ready on the same day. So professional and kind. read more

We recently bought a new Kauai piano from Benjamin at Kim's Piano. All I can say was their service and help with the purchase was exceptional. We had shopped around several stores for the right piano for my son. We were in the area and called Kim's to see if they were still open. Benjamin answered the phone, and he told us that they normally close at 6:00pm, but he would wait around for us until we arrived, which was like 6:20pm. Benjamin showed us a selection of pianos, and without any pressure, advised us on different options. We decided to go away and think about it, since this was a multi-thousand dollar purchase. Benjamin offered us interest free financing, which was a great incentive. We decided to go with the Kauai piano because of the keyboard action and the sound was excellent. When we picked up the piano, the kind lady helped us load the piano in the car. Excellent customer service, thanks Benjamin and Kim's Piano. read more

I began my search for a new piano at several popular piano stores in Orange County. After narrowing my search down to a couple of brands, I decided to go have a look at the Kawai line of grand piano's and I found Kim's Piano on their website as a authorized dealer. I called late evening on a Wednesday and talked to Mr. Kim's relative. I explained that I was piano shopping and would like to make an appointment to come in and take a look at the showroom. He promised to have Mr. Kim call me back right away. Five minutes later, Mr. Kim called me directly. I explained to him what I had been up to and asked if I could meet with him the following day. On Thursday morning I drove up to the Stanton showroom and met with Mr. Kim. He was very friendly and took the time to understand what I was looking for, what I had looked at so far and what price range I was shopping. He then took me on a tour of his showroom and showed me at least 8 different piano manufacturers including Kawai, Estonia, Mason & Hamlin, Steinway, Baldwin and Petrof. After we were done with the tour and demonstration, he asked me what I thought and which piano I thought sounded the best to me. I immediately said that I thoroughly enjoyed how the Mason & Hamlin AA grand sounded but already knew (or thought I did) that it was well out of my price range. He smiled at me and said something like, "Well, what if I told you that we could probably work something out so that it was in my price range" and I told him that I didn't believe him, knowing what the MSRP price was on a new M&H Model AA. After some further discussion with Mr. Kim, I realized that he was seriously going to sell me a brand new, Mason & Hamlin Model AA piano with a PianoDisc Prodigy player and deliver it for FAR less than I could have ever imagined. I literally thought he was kidding me. We sat down and did all the paperwork and shook hands. I am anticipating the delivery of my new piano next week and cannot believe that I was able to get a brand new M&H piano at such a good price from Mr. Kim. I can tell you that Kim's Piano is the "real deal" and you would be foolish to buy a new or used piano anywhere else without first meeting with Mr. Kim. Thank you. read more

Checked out Hanmi Piano and had a bad time. Decided to walk across the street and was blown away by how great my experience was. Kim's Piano is not a showroom. It is a factory wholesaler with a plethora of pianos that you can play firsthand. Like what your playing? Each keyboard can be delivered same day to your door. I was shown around by Steve Kim - one of their experts. WOW. He is truly an expert when it comes to pianos. I had a wonderful time learning about the different models and how YAHAMA and KAWAI differ in terms of sound and structure and he was glad to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend going to Kims for your next piano purchase. The people here are much more educated about the art of piano building than the Hanmi sales-oriented showroom across the street. +1 star: Kim's services include piano exchanges and repairs. read more

I am obsessed with my piano! So in love with it. A piano tuner recommended that I purchase a piano from Kim's and I'm super happy with it. I accidentally went to the other piano store across the street first, fortunately when I left there I saw Kim's & figured out that I went to the wrong place & this was where I was supposed to go. They are a really nice family owned business. I was looking for a used grand piano and ended up with a wonderful Yamaha. They have lots of pianos and I spent a long time deciding. They give great advice on choosing your piano and leave you alone to play. Delivery was great and I'm set to get it tuned by them soon. read more

If I could add more stars, I would. Let me start by saying that 1) I'm not an expert in Pianos and 2) I'm very picky and particular about what I buy and do. I have a very high standard in service and product, so I'm not an easy customer to deal with. My wife and I went to Kim's twice. Once to ask questionsand then a few other stores mixed in and then once more to finalize with Kim's. In particular, I worked with Benjamin. I was blown away by the level of his service and attention to detail. He gave us an extremely thorough description of every single piano we touched including the manufacturer's background, the specific model's background, where the piano was made, where the parts are from, comparison of technologies involved, pros and cons. At the end, I'm very appreciative of Benjamin and his team. He made me feel comfortable while dealing me, my wife and my 4 year running around. I made a good decision in going with Kim's and you won't be disappointed as well. I suggested you do the same. Kudos to Kim's Piano! read more

Their Garden Grove store closed and they recently opened this nice location. Same terrific family owned business with great customer service. Here's my review when I visited their flagship location in Stanton: On the way home from Porto's Bakery & Cafe in Buena Park, I happened upon an amazing piano store with incredible customer service and a large recital hall. John and Benjamin were very welcoming and knowledgeable. They've been around for over 31 years and their love for piano is exuberant. They support their community in many ways including opening their recital hall to special engagements. Beautiful pianos are well organized in a maze of future melodious ambitions. read more

Stopped by today with my daughter to get some ideas about buying a piano, as I have no clue what to look for. Steve explained everything in so much detail, he was very pleasant and also very kind to my daughter. I wanted to go back with my husband later, and there was no pressure to buy right now unlike some places that make you feel bad. I will definitely stop by with my husband later. Thank you very much Steve! read more

I bought a an upright piano from Kim's last spring and the initial service was good. I had mentioned that the piano I was purchasing was a little out of tune on the bass side. I showed the salesman he agreed and told me he would send someone to tune once it was delivered. I never received a follow-up. I am just disappointed with the lack of follow-through and attention to detail. read more

I had the chance to work with Benjamin Kim while looking for a Shigeru Kawai piano in Dec 2019. It was a joy shopping at Kim's Piano. The showrooms were beautiful with so many pianos to choose from. The employees were extremely helpful in both locations that I visited. And there was never any pressure at all; I could gets answers whenever I wanted, or simply play any of the pianos as much as I needed to figure out exactly the piano I'd want to purchase. This made the whole process enjoyable and stress free. After several hours and traveling between two showrooms in Tustin and Stanton, I decided on the Shigeru Kawai SK-2. Benjamin even matched a price I had seen earlier in the year for the same model piano which was located in Portland, OR, where there's no sales tax! I purchased an amazing sounding Shigeru Kawai piano and got a great deal as well! But where Kim's Piano would really shine was in their customer service a few months later. After receiving the piano in January, a couple months went by and I noticed that one note on the keyboard wasn't sounding quite right, even after having it tuned by Benjamin's Uncle Steve, who did amazing, meticulous work on the piano. So, it was decided to try replacing the strings to that key. Even after that replacement, which did make the note sound much better, it was agreed that the note wasn't perfect, and since there was a full satisfaction warranty by Kawai, we would ask for a replacement. Throughout the whole process, Benjamin always answered and returned my phone calls, and stood by the Shigeru Kawai product and warranty to ensure my complete customer satisfaction! This kind of customer service going above and beyond is why I wholeheartedly recommend shopping for a piano at Kim's Piano. I now have a brand new SK-2 that sounds absolutely perfect. read more

While traveling on business recently I stopped in at Kim's Piano Store to look at digital pianos. The sales person that helped me was Benjamin Kim. He was very knowledgeable, helpful, courteous, professional and accommodating. This was true even after he found out I was from out of town. It was a pleasure to meet Benjamin Kim. I asked to see the best digital piano that they had and he showed me the Kawaii Concert Performer. What an outstanding versatile instrument with great sound! Their prices were very competitive. I would not hesitate to buy a piano from Kim's Piano. read more

This is a very friendly and courtesy place. We went there after placing a few offers to other places which never called us back. Benjamin was very nice, helpful and accommodating. The service is top notch and the price is as reasonable as you can get. We were educated on various brands and models. Our daughter's teacher recommended a Kawai and so we bought a K3; it was delivered a few days later. Their tuner expert, Mr. Steve Kim came and gave us the first free tuning one week after delivery. The K3 sounds fantastic after being tuned. I know there're many Yamaha fanatics out there but if you listen to Kawai in classical and romantic music, you may wish you have bought a Kawai :) This place offers the best price and best service. As first time buyer, we really appreciate their courtesy and honesty. read more

Kim's Piano has a tremendous selection of beautiful pianos and are an authorized dealer for Kawai and other brands. I happened to be in the market for a new digital piano and after researching a few brands decided to stop into see what they had. Although most of their stock is acoustic pianos I was delighted to see they had the Kawai digital model I was considering on the show room floor. I tried it out and was quoted a very competitive price by Steve Kim. I told him I'd think it over, went home, did some more research on other brands/models, and came back the next day and closed the deal with Benjamin Kim. What I enjoyed about the experience was the total lack of any pressure and the respect they had in letting me wander the shop without being lurked over the entire time. They asked if I had questions, made sure I understood the features of the piano I was looking at, but otherwise left me alone unless I wanted help. Much more my style of shopping than in the store across the street where the saleswoman lurked behind me as I looked at every piano and I didn't feel as if I'd be comfortable playing any model for any length of time. I'm very pleased with my piano and the experience of buying from Kim's. read more

We visited Kim's in Tustin. They have a variety of pianos including beautiful pianos made in Germany. The employees are very knowledgeable. At this time we decided to rent a piano for my daughter's private lessons during Covid. My daughter practices on the weekends, before and after school, every time she walks by the piano. She loves it and learned in a short amount of time. She now fills our home with beautiful music. read more

I was in the market for an digital piano and Kim's Piano had the perfect models for me to try out at their store. Setting up an appointment was very easy and Benjamin Kim was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. He even made sure that certain models were set up before I arrived at the store so that I could try them all out during my visit. Benjamin also gave me a great deal on the piano that I ended up choosing, so I will definitely be going back to Kim's Piano for any future purchases. read more

We had such a wonderful experience with Steve Kim at Kim's piano. He was patient and informative and we didn't feel a lot of pressure when buying our piano. He was also able to work within our strict budget and made sure to touch base after our piano delivery to set up a tuning. I highly recommend visiting Kim's Piano and plan to shop here in the future if we decide to upgrade. read more

Visited the store and had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Kim himself. He showed us around the store, played some pianos for us, and let us wander around to explore and try out any piano. I don't enjoy high pressure or balogna slinging sleazy salespeople in any industry, and Mr. Kim was perfect. He answered questions, listened carefully to our requirements, and didn't try any ridiculous upselling (a waste of everybody's time). Having visited several other piano stores, I can tell you this is not the pleasurable experience you will have at all the stores. You will see what I mean if you go to the big names around here. We ended up not buying from Kim's Pianos because we chose a different brand of piano, and actually felt sad that we wouldn't be able to work with him. read more

Both my brother and my sister bought their piano from Kim's Piano. They all recommended this place when they knew that I was shopping for a piano. Although I live 2 hr of driving away from the store, I decided to check it out when I had a chance to go down to Orange County. I'm glad that I did. Benjamin Kim, the store manager, nicely explained to me about the differences between the two brands/models that was interested. He answered all my questions, knowing that I was only checking, not ready to buy. A few days later, I called Benjamin back. After a few e-mails and phone calls, we got a great deal for a new piano, including delivery and tuning. We are very happy with Kim's Piano. read more

Very glad I found Kim's when I was looking for an authorized Kawai digital piano dealer. Benjamin was really helpful and really took the time to explain the different features of several piano models to me. He offered me a great price on the one I ultimately chose. I'd definitely be back when I'm ready to get an actual acoustic piano! read more

Bought a piano from them. One of the key made weird ringing noises. But the owner kept telling us that it was normal. Even our piano teacher told us that it is not normal. read more

Kim's Piano is wonderful! Kim's has a very extensive inventory of top-notch pianos, new ones and used ones in excellent condition, all well-regulated and tuned, in a range of prices to satisfy pretty much every budget. All the experts say it's important to play the piano a lot before buying, and Kim's is set up for that. You will find the piano of your dreams, no question about it. Benjamin Kim spent much time with me, and patiently guided me to instruments that were appropriate in price and quality for my circumstances and need. I fell in love with several of them! There was never a hint of pressure, and the prices are not just reasonable but excellent. In addition, Benjamin really knows pianos, and could answer every question and concern regarding the workings of these complex machines. I am still in the process of deciding what to do, but that is based on my financial circumstances, not on any reservations about Kim's. If and when I decide to make the move, Kim's is my destination. read more

Bought my first upright piano here. Everyone was very knowledgeable and supportive. I came in without a ton of experience, but they let me feel my way around to get a sense of what was right for me. Overall, very positive experience (I would even call it "fun"). Would happily buy from them again. read more

Top regulators, tuners, and sale department in all of Southern California. Peter, Steve, and Benjamin as a Family Business are heads and tails above everybody/ They rock. Thank you for all your kindness and help in my beautiful Baldwin L. The Kim Family is the Best!! read more

Of all the piano stores iwe shopped aroundin OC, I would say Kim's Piano has the best deal. Also Benjamin is very professional and kind of dealing with his customer. The other store did not even call us and follow up. We have the piano for more than one week now and my kids are happy playing it. We are just waiting for the free tuning to come hopefully soon. read more

Went to their store a couple of weeks ago and there wasn't a single person in the store to help you with questions, Yes, there was a female person on the telephone talking in a foreign language in a relatively loud voice which grinds me the wrong way if you know what I mean. They had a variety of selections, but is there is no one at the store to help,is very difficult to select a major purchase on your own. I left and bought a Steinway @ Fields. read more

Just stopped by to look for a upright piano for my daughter to practice on but was disappointed at the minimal selections of Kawai pianos they had. I expected more from looking at their perfect 5 star reviews on yelp but that was not the case. I had a hard time understanding the salesperson who had helped me and eventually just left the store and went to the other piano store right across the street. read more

We have been searching out that perfect piano for about 6 months and I think we listened to and played every piano for sale in central Texas. Branching out to Dallas, Chicago and New York we discovered some fabulous pianos and sampled a nationwide cross section of stores and sales people. All of the rebuilt pianos came with at least 7 excuses. The holy grail S-brand pianos were just so-so and came with pretentious sales and high prices. The sound of the Fazioli 228 is incredible as is the price. The smartest thing we did was visit Kims piano in Stanton and listen to a Shigeru SK7. Steve Rivera was incredible in helping us select the very best piano for us. We walked out with a new piano and knew we made the right choice and for the right price. There was a slight problem with our delivery on the Texas side. The delivery person did not have the right equipment or attitude. I called Steve after hours for help. He was actually in NY working on a recording but made some late night calls and set up our delivery for the next morning with another company. The delivery (probably one of the most difficult around) went flawlessly. If you live in the USA and want a piano, make your way to Kims and ask for Steve Rivera. If you are looking for crystal clear highs, powerful resonant bass and incredible dynamic range with unbelievable touch the Shigeru Kawai is the one. read more

After an intensive research including reading both available piano buying books and visited 5 piano dealers, I ended up buying a new Kawai K5 from Kim's Piano. My son's piano teacher also recommended this store for it being not pushy sale and great price. In addition to no-push and great price, Kim's Piano have their piano's on the floor well tuned. Since I was new to piano, it was better to evaluate a tuned piano than an out-of-tune one. I wouldn't know if something didn't sound right was related to being out-of-tune (which will go away) or a major structural issue (costly repair.) It also eliminates the chance of getting a piano that have tuning stability issue. read more

Got a Brodmann upright piano from Kim's Piano 2 weeks ago, and we're loving it! We use it every day. Benjamin Kim was our sales person. He's very courteous, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Anyone's looking for a piano, we highly recommend Kim's Piano for a good advice, selection and price. read more

They knew I wasn't buying a piano but they allowed my little sister to play on their expensive pianos anyway. They simply told us to only play the ones owned by the store and not ones owned by customers looking to sell though the store and to ask if we had any questions. Very polite and highly suggest coming here if looking for a new or used piano. If they treat non-paying people this nice it is safe to say paying customers will get the best of treatment. read more

I bought my Kawai piano from Kim's last year. I can't tell you how professional and easy to deal with they were. The piano was delivered same day, the tuner came very quickly. I have recently moved to San Francisco and fortunately the piano survived the move intact(albeit in need of a tune). read more

As a piano teacher I need a good piano that stands up to constant use. My last Kawai lasted 30 years before it needed major repairs. I really appreciated the courtesy and expertise of Benjamin and Steve Kim in helping me find a new instrument. I'm delighted with my new baby grand. It has a gorgeous tone. My students love it too. Several of my students have also purchased pianos there, and now that they have a new store in Tustin that will make it even more convenient for my students in the Aliso Viejo area. read more

What a wonderful experience I had at at Kim's Piano! I bought a Kawai baby grand and was treated as though I had bought a Steinway concert grand! Everyone there was courteous, friendly and caring. I traded in my 44 year old Yamaha upright which meant a great deal to me and was given a very fair price as well as a great price on my new piano. THESE PEOPLE CARE! It's a family owned business and they treat you like family. Hats off to Steven, Peter, Benjamin and everyone at Kim's Piano. I will recommend them every chance I get! read more

Kim's is one of he best places to buy new and used pianos!!!! I purchased a used Kawaii grand piano. They have a large selection and offered me a good price. read more
