At close to 80 had many optometrists but Dr Chen stood out as awesome. Took his time and explained the exam and felt comfortable. He speaks 3 languages and has a great personality. Cynthia, his assistant helping us choose glasses also did an awesome job of making the most out of our insurance allowance and getting the best quality lenses. Would highly recommend this place. read more

I wanted to share my experience with Dr Alan Chu. I've had many optometrist in the past but he was the most thorough one I've ever had. Not only was I relieved to know my prescription hasn't changed, but he also took his time to explain to me how the eye works in detail. He explained why my eyes were healthy by showing me a picture of my eye. He also answered all my questions patiently, including answer to a question no other optometrist has been able to answer before. I was amazed how knowledgeable he was. On top of that he was personable and easy to talk to. I cannot recommend him enough. You won't be disappointed. I will be bringing my family to see him soon. Thanks Dr Chu and golden vision! read more

Five stars in service, prices, insurance dealing and high quality products overall with very skilled optometrist in house catering to clients from all walks of life. They have large numbers of Asian American staffs who cater to Asian clientele but also have many different products that are attractive to all other ethnic groups! I truly admire their service motto firmly rooted in customer care and common sense. They are there to serve the customers and not to make dollars for themselves. They greet you quickly and try their best to accomplish everything you need in the most efficient way and save you money. I vote five stars for the rarest and best optometry shop in OC. read more

Dr Chu was great, very informative, patient, kind and knowledgeable. Good selection of glasses and great assistance picking out! Shout out to Phoebe for my faux Gucci look! And thanks to Jen for being very sweet! read more

Amazing doctor. Very patient and answered all of my questions. He cares about his patients, and super knowledgeable.

My 8-year-old daughter and I have had a really great experience here. Cynthia is always so helpful, kind, and patient, and Dr. Chui is professional and thorough. The price is reasonable, and their aftercare and follow-up service have been excellent. We definitely recommend this place! read more

I give the highest 5+ rating to this optometry, for its customer-first working spirit and professionalism. We relocated to OC last year, but my kids needed urgent help to get replaced contact lens. We went to the optometry for urgent help. Lack of info, they reached out to our prior optometry, gathered all the info, placed the order for contact lens for us, and delivered the lens to us in 4 days. After that we had several orders of lens replacements. The office offered awesome support to deliver the high-quality lenses to us as quickly as possible. A few times, when we ran late at the weekend, they even offered extra support by waiting for us and delivered the prescription to us. We feel obsessed by being a patient of this optometry. Love it! Though I usually do not write reviews, but can't help recommend this optometry to all who need vision services. read more

Golden Irvine Optometry - Optometrists Near Me - Irvine, California

I have been doing business for my lenses with Golden Optometry since several years. Unfortunately, after Mimi, the Manager left, their service has deteriorated. The staff makes one wait for40-45 minutes before attending. Their attitude is not customer friendly and borders on insolence. The Manager is not present at the store when needed. This store needs to get its act together to restore its customer service. read more

I visited Golden Irvine Optometry for Presbyopia concern. I've been to this shop a few times in the past and always had great experience with services provided by Mimi and her team. This time is no exception. Mimi helped setup my appointment with optometrist, and helped me choose the appropriate frame and glasses. Received my glasses in a couple of weeks. Pretty awesome! I no longer have that "senior moment" when reading off mobile phone screen or restaurant menu. Good to feel young again..... read more

The staff were really helpful and nice. They have a good selection for glasses. I guess I didn't realize how much frames really have gotten but I'm happy with the choice I made. The optometrist was knowledgeable and answered all my questions and I was in and out pretty quickly. read more

The front desk assisted guests who had not made an appointment to interrupt the queue openly. Why did they still make an appointment? It was a very disappointing experience and I will never go again read more

I have been a customer with Golden Irvine Optometry for many years, and every time I go to Mimi for help, I really enjoy the experience. Mimi is very professional and makes you feel genuinely welcome. She always helps me pick the right glasses. Recently, Mimi assisted my family with glasses and helped my son with MiSight contacts. She trained him on how to use the contacts in under 30 minutes! Mimi is very patient with kids and is excellent at teaching them. She also helped me quickly with my contact and eye drops order. Mimi is fantastic with insurance and always takes great care of her customers. She is wonderful! read more

The PEOPLE at Golden Irvine are what sets this business aside from other companies. That's what differentiates them from everyone else. I have nothing but great things to say and will continue taking my family there for years to come. Mimi went way out of her way to make sure all my needs were met. Thanks Again for everything read more

I don't get glasses very often, so I wanted to make sure they were done right. It doesn't help that I have dry and sensitive eyes. I CAME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!! I stopped by because the location was convenient, but I stayed because I was impressed by the professionalism, choice of frames, and the warm and welcoming staff. Jen, Phoebe, Cynthia, and Dr. Vincent Chen were all so helpful and great. read more

I've been a client for a few years now. Love Dr. Chen. He's really nice & his exam is accurate. I've found my eye doctor! I recently returned to redo my progressive lenses because the ones I had didn't feel right. Phoebe & Mimi helped me. The ladies are very cordial & understanding. It took two tries this time, progressive wear is challenging, but during the process they put me at ease and assured that it'll work this time. They patiently brainstormed together to figure out the problem & solution, and in the end I can wear progressive glasses again. So happy! Thank you Phoebe & Mimi! You ladies are awesome! I totally recommend Golden Irvine Optometry. And needless to say, I'm a satisfied, repeat customer. read more

Very excellent customer service. My glasses were not fitting right and Mimi the office manager took the time to help adjust my glasses making them fit perfectly. I also have a more narrowed face and Mimi suggested that we bring the temples in a little more on my glasses for them to match my face better and feel more comfortable. Overall a great experience, and they have a lot of nice selections of modern, higher end glasses. They have a lot of nice Chrome Heart classes that I do not readily find at other optometry's. read more

One of my sunglasses lens popped out while I was visiting the OC, and Lisa helped me fix it with ease. I was in and out within 5 minutes. Super friendly and professional staff! Thank you! read more

I ordered multiple frame glass and contacts from the store for many years. They have nice staffs and patient doctors. Doctor won't persuade you to buy anything you don't need with professional advises. I always contact Mimi for questions, update on my glass. She knows her clients very well like friends. I can send her a message for everything I need, and quickly pickup in the store. My husband can even return a glass with uncomfortableness. How can they do better. It's the best place for glass with no doubt. read more

First visit at the Irvine location and great experience overall. Mimi was helpful and attentive.

I came here a couple weeks ago because I was getting my dogs groomed a couple doors down and I am so glad I found this place. My prescription was due and they were able to get me an exam as a walk-in. It did not take quick and the ladies who work here are so sweet and accommodating. They have a good variety of eyeglasses and sunglasses. I ended up getting a pair of Burberry sunglasses and they were ready for pick up within two weeks. They text you when it's ready too. Absolutely love this place. This is definitely going to be my go to Optomitrist and when people ask me now! read more

I normally go to the Golden Optometry (高登) in Rowland heights, but live in Irvine. I was pleasantly surprised that they opened a location in Irvine and isn't as crowded as the Rowland location. It's located right next to Four Seas Restaurant in the corner of the shopping center. It's not as big as their Rowland Heights location, but the staff was nice and everything was clean. There is a good amount of frames selection, but less with contacts if you're looking to try different brands or colors. They would have to order it for you and you'd have to come back to try it out. Cash price of the contacts is a bit higher than what you can get elsewhere, but the grand opening special offset the difference so it was still reasonable for me to get my Acuvue's here. M Also I spent minimal time waiting so that's always a plus with two kids waiting for me. read more

Love going to this location! Even though I live a bit far from here, I choose to go here because the level of customer service is amazing. Lisa, Phoebe, and Mimi are always super helpful and wonderful to work with. These ladies are always pleasant, sweet and kind. Whenever I'm running into issues or delays in my contacts shipments, Lisa has always made sure I get the necessary care I get before the contacts arrive. Thank you to this team of wonderful people, you guys are all amazing!! read more

Yelp reviews did not disappoint! Materials purchase only- Alicia was very helpful on the phone before I brought my son for replacement glasses. She was very patient with him in person. He picked out $300 frames but our insurance allowance is $130. After I explained that he already lost one pair of glasses this year, she steered him to $130 frames and notated that I should add transitions because they were covered 100% for children on my insurance. Glasses arrived earlier than expected and they adjusted the arms to fit snugly on his head. I've been to three other optometrists in the area over the years and didn't really care to return to any of them again. I will be going back to Golden. read more

Just got my new pair of eye glasses today, and really happy with this new pair. My old eye glasses broke 2 weeks ago. I called, explained my situation, and Alicia was able to squeeze me on an appointment the next day. Service was quick and friendly. The selection (and size of the store) is not as large as the San Gabriel location that I gone to before, but I was able to find the pair that I liked. Overall, I'm a happy Golden customer, and I'm really glade that we now have this location in Irvine. read more
