super friendly and very nice. They have a wide variety selection of glasses. I love the fact that turn around time for glasses are quick. Other places you have to wait 2 weeks the earliest. But not here! Very fast read more

Did the prices go up? Second pair from there (first since they moved) and I feel like I paid a lot more.

Happened upon Seoul Optical and Kenny when looking to get my son's prescription. Couldn't be any more pleased with the quick professional service. Will definitely be returning to fill my prescriptions. read more

The best plave to get your eyeglasses. Price is fair and everyone is super nice. My first glasses didnt fit so they exchanged a second pair for me. The lens is super cheap with everything you need, blue ligut, ar, uv and anti scratch. Must come!!b read more

The best experience ever!! I went to Walmart to get my eye examination done and because they didn't accept my insurance (UHA) I couldn't get my prescription filled there. The front girl was no help at all so I went to Yelp- Seoul Optical had 5 star reviews that validated where I was going to get my prescription filled. The owner and optician Kenny is the nicest man ever! He selected and recommended which frame he felt I should get (I was not convinced but went with it anyway) and made other recommendation as far as lens and anti glare and LED protection. Picked up my glasses today. LOVE IT! Especially LOVE the frame that Kenny suggested. Please patronize this business. I believe good things happen to good people and may ONLY good things happen to you Kenny!!! read more

I've only been coming here for about a year, and so far every visit has been awesome! Today I went there because I broke my frames, and don't have a spare. We picked out a new one, and he adjUsted my current lease within 20mins. The owner is very nice and they have a great selection of glasses. I can't wait to order more pairs of glasses from here! Great quality glasses, fair prices, and quick service! read more

If you're looking for a place that has high quality glasses with amazing customer service, this is the place for you! Seriously, Kenny is one of the most kind human beings I've ever met. He really does care about each of his customers and is very good at his craft. I also appreciate that he is very honest and up front about all your available options regarding pricing, etc. With that, you're able to choose which would be best for you and he does not mind if you don't go with his opinion/decision! I was not ready to make a decision yet and he told me, no worries and to come back in anytime! He is also willing to fix any problems you have regarding glasses or contacts! He is seriously the best! So so kind! read more

there is nothing i can say that no one else already has. this guy is truly awesome and 100% a go-to glasses god. thanks for adjusting my pair and answering my questions! read more

My favorite optical store! The man who works here is so friendly! And since I didn't have insurance, he was able to give me a great price! I've been going here since '10 and plan on going to this place for many years to come. *-* read more

This place is fantastic, and the service is top notch! Came in to get new lenses for some old frames and was really impressed. Lenses were finished SUPER fast (about 20 minutes), the price was great (MUCH less than LensCrafters or even Walmart), and the owner is incredibly nice and helpful. In fact, the owner is the best part-- this is the nicest guy ever. I was wearing another pair of glasses that were pretty beat up, bent out of shape, and falling off my face because the arms were loose. While waiting for the lenses, he looked at the glasses I was wearing, said "let me see those," and completely re-bent the frames so they sit straight and are tight on my face! And he did it for free, without even being asked!! This place is the best. Five stars. read more

Friendly owner and workers. Affordably priced. I ordered my first sets of contacts from here and the owner was so accommodating and friendly helping me through the process and explaining what I needed to do in order to get contacts. Customer service is what makes this place amazing! read more

Was in need of purchasing my new glasses looked at a couple of reviews and was actually told to go to Sams Club across the street. I decided to go to see Kenny glad that I did. The selection was sufficient for me to choose from, although the Kenny found me my current look. It's not your 24hour service but for the cost and awesome customer service I will defiantly return. Ohm they also file for your insurance coverage... read more

I've bought my glasses from here before and I always left happy. Their glasses are on the cheaper side. But of course, if you want designer frames they have those too! I just bought my pair. And the guy who helped me (he's helped me before) was so kind! I cannot stress how kind he was! I will never get my glasses anywhere else. He also figured out how much my insurance covered and gave me the break down of everything. Awesome service and awesome prices! read more

the glasses i bought here are absolutely great! the man who works there is very polite and friendly and he actually cares for your eyes. I would highly recommend this place! read more

This place is excellent and the owner is extremely nice, I stopped by inquiring about some new glasses and he was able to help right away. I wish I had came here last year instead of lens crafters where they told me I needed an exam even though my exam was only 6 months old. But this place is awesome and it has a very nice family feel to it everyone is extremely helpful. I will always come here for any future optical needs read more

Very cheap for such good quality lenses and great services. I highly recommend everyone to come here for eye glasses. It only took him less than an hour to finish my order. I broke my glasses this morning and didn't have to wait to get a new pairs. read more

My third year being a client of Mr. Kim. I ordered two glasses and made numerous adjustmets. Mr. Kim has been most kind and willing to accommodate my requests of small and large. I appreciate his thoughtfulness. Mr. Kim stays up to date on new technologies related to optical wear. His prices are fair. read more

Nice friendly people with a nice view too!, they also take hmsa quest for prescription lens! For some I believe :D

Don't usually do reviews...but I do have to say the guys over at Seoul optical have top notch service deserving of 5 stars. I'm one of those guys that always ends up misplacing my glasses and having to get a new pair (this is probably my 3rd pair this year) every time that I've gone in to get replacements, I've received nothing but the best service. Whole process takes like half an hour! Great place to go for all of my eyewear needs. read more

I've been coming here ever since I was 7 and that says a lot cause I'm 20 now. Mr. Kim or Kenny as he prefers, is my #1 go to for anything relating to getting glasses. He is always kind, caring for all of his customers whether first timers or regulars. He will always help with all he can whether it be finding a frame that suites you looks wise or price wise, making sure your frames fit perfectly, or fixing any broken frames the cheapest way possible. Whenever I have anything he helps with a smile and his face and does so in a very timely manner. If you get any prescription glasses, sunglasses, or even contacts come to Kenny and you will not regret it. Customer service and happiness is his #1 priority. read more

This place is amazing! I have never had a better experience when it comes to buying eyeglasses. The man working, Kenny, is friendly, quick, and efficient. During my first visit, a handful of other people came in and out. I've never seen someone multitask so well, and I was only there for 30 minutes. For the quick fixes, he never charged and was always so polite to everyone. I didn't have my glasses updated for three years because other places were trying to charge me up to $450 for just the lens. It just wasn't worth it to me when I'm a regular contact lens wearer. For the lens through Seoul, I paid about a fourth of the cost stated previously. I even ordered another pair of glasses I've been wanting. They didn't have the ones I wanted in stock but were able to order them for me. After having my new lens for about a day I realized that my prescription was probably not up to date. I came in the next day and he confirmed this, replacing my lens, and doing so all free of charge. Who does this anymore? As others have said, he is genuine and he's definitely not doing all this for the money. I'm glad I found this place and highly recommended it for anyone who is looking for reasonably priced glasses, and to getting them quickly! There is no hassle and you know they wont rip you off like some other places try to do. I've been telling all my friends about this place and can't get over how great my experience has been. You need to go here. read more

I found this place on Yelp and the reviews were so encouraging I wanted to see for myself. I broke my glasses and my husband tried to fix it. Long story short, I knew I needed new glasses but I didn't know where to go since I only bought glasses from my optometrist on a neighbor island. I hoped to not spend a lot but I saw on Yelp that they sent claims to my insurance (VSP) and they have a variety of frames. Kenny was very friendly and helped me to choose frames that were the right size for my face and for my lenses, because I have a strong prescription. He told me that he would special order thin lenses for me. It was on the pricey side because I ended up choosing designer frames and the thinner lenses cost more than the frames. When I picked my glasses up, Kenny had me try them on and adjusted it so it fit well on my ears (something I never had done for me before). While it was more than I hoped to spend it was totally worth it! For the first time in years I had lenses that weren't so thick and heavy. I was overall satisfied with the service, experience, and my most importantly...my glasses. Definitely recommend them and will be back for my future glasses needs. read more

Walmart directed me here because they fully cover HMSA Quest. Stepped in and the man was welcoming. The glasses on the wall is covered by my insurance and it's a huge selection! He was really nice and helpful! He's also really sweet :) Chose my glasses within 10 minutes and he told me it'll take 30 mins! I stared at him cause I thought I mistaken 30 minutes for 30 days but it was ONLY 30 mins! I came back an hour later and it was done! The glasses are perfect and it was free! It was simple, fast, and he said I can come back anytime if I have any problems. I'd refer this place to all my family and friends :) I'm coming back here again if I need new glasses. read more

Excellent service! Friendly, fast and affordable! Lots of styles to choose from. You can get your glasses done in 20 minutes! Convenient parking as well. read more

Perfect perfect perfect..... very very friendly. One of my glass handles fell off and he fixed it "exactly as it is". He even clean them up for me and they look perfectly new even if they are about 10 months now. No place like this that they can make lens in house fitting to the frame that you want. If I am not mistaken, you can bring in your own frame. Thank you, read more

This is the place to go for Glasses Fast and Reasonably priced!!!! Amazing courteous and FAST service!!! I went to every Optical store in the Ala Moana area today, and I received the best service at Seoul Optical. The sales person helped me pick a frame quickly. They had my prescription in stock, and they made a perfect pair of glasses in 1/2 hour, for less than half the price of a comparable pair of glasses at Lense Crafters (which btw didn't have my prescription in stock)! I would recommend anyone who needs new glasses to check this store out!!! This store would also be highly recommended for vacationers who lose or break their glasses while in hawaii as the turnaround time is lightening fast! I have never written a review on Yelp. I made this account specifically to comment on the excellent service that I got today at Seoul Optical! I will definately buy my next pair from them! read more

My first experience buying glasses from anywhere other than Walmart or Sam's Club. I was greeted by a nice Korean man asking me what I was looking for. I had just broken my glasses a couple weeks ago and I needed a new pair. So I took a few minutes to try on different frames until he suggested to try on a square frame pair and they were a perfect match! He told me my glasses would be ready in a half hour and I was surprised. Came back around noon and tried them back on and it was slightly readjusted and I absolutely LOVE them. I also love not having to pay an arm and a leg.. The glasses only costed me $130! Quality service and quality product for less than what I normally pay for.. This is definitely a place worth going to. I will be coming back again soon! read more

Through my teens - mid 30's I've purchased my eyeglasses from Costco...best prices right? Well without fail, no matter what style I purchase, the right lenses and piece that goes over your ear ALWAYS manages to pop out (lens and screw!). I purchased my first glass from Seoul Optical almost 2 years ago and not ONCE has a screw nor lens pop out. Absolutely LOVE it. Also, when you purchase from Costco or other store you normally have to wait approx. 2 weeks for your order to come in...not here. He told me if I could wait an hour he'd have my glasses ready that afternoon! No ways!...I told him I'd came back the next day so no need to "rush" my order. absolutely love this place. Will get my business when my Rx changes or I want a new style! read more

Great customer service. I found cheaper glasses online but opted to stick with this place. I got glasses here 6 months ago thru my insurance but they were destroyed leaving me virtually blind. My insurance covers 1 pair every 2 years. Seoul Optical sold me an even better pair at a deep discount. I highly recommend this place. read more

The optometrist here is very nice, and he actually started the appointment on time. The eyeglasses here are very reasonably priced.

I've been going to Seoul Optical for 4 years now, and the service is always fast. I got my glasses readjusted today, and it was done perfectly and in no time at all! Prompted me to write my first Yelp review ever. :) read more

I bought my glasses here last year and the whole process was quick and brisk, not to mention they had excellent customer service. I recently had a mishap that resulted in my frame getting warped causing me to be bent out of shape hehehe. I called and asked if I could bring them in to have them readjusted and Kenny told me to come right in and it would be no problem. So I went in and not only did he fix my frame but he also hooked me up with new nose pads and a brand new cleaning cloth all at no charge. Thank you Kenny! From now on, all my eyeglass needs will be taken care of at Seoul Optical! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE, got glasses from a different eye doctor, and the frame broke so fast, and they wouldn't give me a discount so I came here and it was super cheap and fast service. read more

Super kind, very helpful. Great service+++ best place for fixing buying adjusting glasses.

i went there a two months ago to get new prescription glasses and they are very poorly made. i got my glasses and by three days they had broken and i had to get them fixed. and then now the frames have completely snapped off and there is no way to fix it. very very VERY poorly made read more

Greatest service there is. Spoke great English and service all. Was treated really well. Now I know why people been rating this business a 5 star rating. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Excellent customer service. read more

Very nice guy.. really helpful. even submits the insurance paper work for me. He is also cheaper even if i did not have insurance, than other places i looked at. 2nd time going to him. highly recommend read more

Was sent to Seoul by Walmart Optometrist, when I arrived at suite 1212 at 1440 Kapiolani Blvd I was very impressed, until I walked in and met a very rude and unhelpful man who I believe was Kenny. He basically stood behind his large counter of frames and glasses offering VERY little help and absolutely NO suggestions as to what would look best on my face. After looking around I tried on a few pair and told him I was fine with paying any additional cost if my insurance didn't cover the entire price of the glasses I chose, he still did not seem to care about helping me with my choice even thought I said I was most interested in rimless styles. Instead, he POINTED me over to the wall of cheaper Glasses while he stayed behind his counter like a soldier protecting his Palace ! I decided to leave rather then put my money into his unearned pocket!!!...I decided to look for another Optician that hopefully will provide better customer service and appreciate my business !! read more

I went here the first time on my way home from the mall once to get my glasses repaired, and the man working there was incredibly nice and professional. Since then I've been going there everytime I need my glasses repaired. I have never been disappointed :) read more
