    Scratches in "new" lenses

    Absolutely horrible place to get glasses from. After receiving my new glasses, I found multiple small scratch on the left side. I was able to order new lenses to get them replaced, got called in to drop off the glasses only to get a call saying they found a scratch and I have to wait for another order. Finally, after the new order, I go once again and got the lenses replaced, however, after arriving home and inspecting them I once again find the same type of stretches that they had the very first time. Optometrist is responsible for cutting the lenses to the frames and this continues to happen and is insanely unprofessional. It isn't my profession, but it's absurd to that they can't properly check frames before having their customers come in and charging them. Better off somewhere else. I'd rather go pay full price for new lenses than ever go to this place again.

    Great place!

    I think this place is great fast and easy. I personally have been coming to this place since I was small in fact I got my fist glasses here and till this day I've been getting my proscription and glasses. Now i bring my son here as well since he has to ware glasses also. The only complaint is that they really need to update their frames sometimes I feel like they always have the same kinds.. Oh and the doctor is great and friendly... Will recommend!

    I've been going here since I was 5. The girls are very helpful in finding your frame. Always enjoyed going to get new glasses, every year.

There used to be an ajusshi back in the day & he retired recently, but he was always helping me & my mom. Then when I got married and dragged my husband to LA, I brought him here. ...now I have kids of my own and when my oldest daughter's summer camp mentioned that she said she couldn't see the board, without skipping a beat, I called Somi Optometry & made an appointment. 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.

    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.

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.

She's patient and doesn't try to rush you just to make a sale which is refreshing and calming. I hope she's here every time I have to come back! :) thank you for making it a great experience!

    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.
