We were so excited when Tracy presented two Rolex models for us that we can purchase same day, the Rolex explorer and Datejust, my husband was ecstatic! He couldn't believe his luck! Tracy explained that it was a new Rolex programs for ADs to have random Rolex in stock for walk in customers. Hubby tried on both watches, along with some sample models, in the end he decided to purchase the Explorer model due to personal preference and lifestyle. I also tried on the some Cartier watches and still considering the Santos or not. My hubby on the other hand could not whip out his credit card fast enough, he wanted his RoRo baby, and he was a happy camper smiling from ear to ear. Tracy was extremely patient and knowledgeable, explaining the difference in models, nicknames, availability, wait times for hard to get items. She was lovely to work with. Thank you for a wonderful experience getting my hubby his first Rolex. This LHW stores is grand, freestanding, and beautiful, with two heavy weapon security guards at the front.

I originally came in hoping to purchase a Rolex, but the model I'm looking for wasn't available. May explained the process and added me to the waiting list. She never made us feel rushed or pressured and took the time to show us several other watches. While we were there, she showed my wife some beautiful pieces, and we ended up purchasing a Cartier for her. My wife loves it! Throughout the entire experience, May was patient, knowledgeable, and never pushy. She even made sure we were comfortable and offered us water while we looked around. What really stood out was how welcome she made both of us feel, even though the Rolex I originally came for wasn't available. It made the Cartier purchase feel special and enjoyable rather than pressured. Now I'm hoping to get that exciting call from May when my Rolex becomes available! It will be especially meaningful to me because I'm planning for it to be my retirement gift to myself after 30 years of work. I can't wait for that day. Thank you, May and Hing Wa Lee Jewelers, for a great experience. We'll definitely be back!

SERVICE: To preface, I did not get a piercing here (yet). I lost the back of my earring for my flat and needed a replacement ASAP. Kat greeted me warmly and asked if I needed anything which was very nice. I was browsing and wasn't sure what I wanted. Lev soon came out shortly to help me look for a piece that was in my price range and helped me put them on clamps to hold up next to my ear. This really helped me decide on what to choose as I could "see it" on my ear. Both made me feel so welcomed!! They were both so friendly and cool that I made a mental note to come back to get a piercing from this place. The pieces here are a bit on the higher end but most piercing studios with higher quality pieces usually have the same price range. I ended up getting a cool lil dagger that was within my price range. It was so nice that Kat was able to put in the earring for me and transfer the temporary one back to my lobe as well. I didn't expect that service which was really nice. OVERALL: Love the decor and the vibes! I definitely will be coming back as soon as I know which piercing to get next!

The studio is incredibly clean! Everything felt very organized and sanitary. Each piece of jewelry is sterilized for 7-9 minutes before being used, and the jewelry displays were spotless and beautifully organized by brand. Every piece they carry is gorgeous, so be prepared to have a hard time choosing! 2.) Friendly, patient, and knowledgeable staff My appointment was with Boge, and while I was waiting, Lev helped me choose my jewelry. Both were incredibly kind and patient, especially because I am very indecisive. They never pressured me to choose anything and were happy to show me different jewelry sizes, talk through my options, and help me calculate the total cost. 3.) Honest advice and genuine customer care This was probably what impressed me the most. I originally came in wanting a hidden helix, but Lev actually advised me against getting one at this time because of the potential healing concerns with my ear anatomy and piercing history. They also took into consideration my upcoming events and helped me plan which piercings to get first and when it would be best to get the others. Although I was initially disappointed that I couldn't get the hidden helix, I really appreciated their honesty. They easily could have done the piercing, but instead prioritized what they felt would be best for my healing. That made me feel like they genuinely cared about me as a customer rather than just making a sale. And the customer care went above and beyond! I hadn't eaten before my appointment because I was nervous, and Boge noticed and offered me one of her own chewy granola bars so I wouldn't risk feeling faint. Such a small gesture, but it meant a lot to me. 4.) Fixed my messed up Claire's Piercing I had a piercing on my right ear that was pierced at the worst location as I have a mole there so I never bothered wearing earrings. Boge was able to work her magic and made everything look even! Please see my photos for before and after. Seamless experience (I have a super low pain tolerance and prone to fainting with needles). She was so kind and talked me through it all and let me lay in the chair for a bit before even getting up. I never felt rushed, pressured, or uncomfortable at any point. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable, and I left feeling really confident about my piercing plan. Thank you to Boge, Lev, and the rest of the team for such a wonderful experience! I'll definitely be back when the timing is right for my helix.

Review for My Thanh Jewelry…read more I came in around 1 PM to have two pendants checked after finding this place through Google. It had good reviews and was close, so I decided to give it a try. After being buzzed in, I stood right in front of the employee. He looked at me, then got on his phone and didn't acknowledge me while I was standing there. There was also a woman on the phone, which I understand, but even after that, there was still no greeting or basic acknowledgment. When he finally spoke to me, his facial expression and tone felt dismissive, like I wasn't worth the time. He did give me the information I needed, so I got what I came for. But the overall interaction didn't sit right with me. It felt like I was being judged based on how I looked or what I brought in. A customer is still a customer, no matter what they walk in with. Just sharing my experience so others know what they might expect.

The first time we didn't bring my jade and other items, just chat with Mr. David and found out that he is a very knowledgeable and experienced master with Jade, diamond and other gemstones with so many years hands on experiences. So I made my decision to bring my jade, diamond and ruby to him the next visit. Mr. David is very professional and knowledgeable. He explains every item's details from the look to the test results from his professional examination equipment. Also showed us the similar item both in fake and real in his own collections to teach us the difference between the fake one and nature stone. For my real diamond, he counted the whole one and melees very carefully and gave the most precise appraise price, and also the current retail price. He also gave me the advice on not to change the diamond ring's base and the reason behind this, and help us to clean the item with the professional tool. Mr. David is a very fun person to chat as well, it's really fascinating to hear some of the stories from the master who has been trough a lot. We are glad to find the Pro like Mr. David in this field in LA area with all the strong knowledge and vivd personality. We will definitely visit Mr. David's laboratory again to lean more and enjoy this atmosphere surrounded by these beautiful stones and interesting history.

Various certificates posted in Mr. Ha's store attest to his extensive professional expertise.

Mr. Ha charges $35 for a verbal appraisal and $65 for a written appraisal, which seemed very fair and reasonable.

I came in looking to resell some gold, clean my jewelry, repair a necklace, and to look for some new earrings. Like the other reviews said, the shop is owned and run by David and his mom. David speaks fluent English and Cantonese. I think some Vietnamese as well. His mom for sure speaks Cantonese and Vietnamese. They're both very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Let them know what you're looking for and they'll have recommendations for you! RESELLING JEWELRY David was very honest with me. I had some loose stones and he let me know there's not much anyone can do with them. I also had a ring that he identified as fake gold so it was pretty much junk lol. For some earrings that were 18k, he told me that there wasn't much gold (they were small) and because of that I would not get much resale value. Most of the value was really in the labor of making the pieces. I told him the main reason I was looking to sell was because they were white gold and I preferred yellow gold. He suggested I see his colleague at Focus Plaza and get them rhodium plated instead. (And I did for $20, see pics!) CLEANING Nothing to add, he cleaned my engagement ring so it was nice and shiny again. REPAIRING Great! His repairman soldered my necklace back together. The clasp snapped off but it was an easy fix. PURCHASING They have a great selection at great pricing. I ended up getting a pair of earrings with a delicate chain. Super cute and dainty.

First off this is my first review. This is the third time this has happened to me so I decided to finally write a review. I'm giving it 4 stars only because I finally had someone professional help me. The first time I came in to check out the store (I'm just walking by ) and I get buzzed in and I see two ladies behind their desks. One young lady on the phone and another Asian lady watching her phone. I know this because I stood at the counter waiting for her to address me and she has her earbuds in watching something on her phone, Ignoring me. Finally after standing there she looks up and says "let me know if you need any help " still staring at her phone. So rude. Thankfully the young lady came up to help me as I wanted to look as some jewelry for my mothers bday. She was very sweet and super helpful. Answered all my questions and I'm still thinking about that Cartier ring I looked at for myself. I feel like someone needs to talk to this lady about what real customer service is. Every time I've been in she's just staring at her phone and doesn't acknowledge the customers. read more

am a regular customer at the place for 25 years at least and I when this past Saturday to buy foreign coins and paper money, I found 2 small coins from everything I was able to see because I was trying to see a lot of foreign coins a older gentlemen was finishing looking and the sales person said I can't show you them because I need the space for a bigger sale and also said I don't want to sound like rude but... so I couldn't see any other item, those 2 tiny silver coins melt was around $8 and because I took "too much of his time" charge me $35 I was not happy at all. This sales person is a tall guy his wife also works there too I don't know his name. Malcom was around but I don't like to rude and make a big deal with more customers in the store. I won't be going back to this store anymore I didn't feel appreciated by this person and is not the first time it happen. I didn't see this person for a few years I thought he was gone for good but I guess not. read more

This coin dealer shop is an absolute scam! I've been dealing with them for weeks, and they keep refusing to pay for coins they've already agreed to purchase. Every time I follow up, they make excuses or completely ignore me. It's clear they have no intention of paying and are trying to take advantage of people who are simply trying to sell their coins. I've never encountered such dishonesty in any business. They've wasted my time and money, and I'm left feeling completely taken advantage of. Don't trust them with your collection or your transactions. This place is a rip-off, and I would strongly advise anyone to stay away. If you value your time and money, look elsewhere for a reputable dealer. Worst experience I've ever had. Avoid them at all costs! read more
