“I went to Chinatown Optical to get an eye exam since I haven’t done so since pandemic started. I waited 5 minutes and went to the exam room. The Doctor was very thorough explaining each and every step of the process. After the exam, I got to choose the frames. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I chose a couple of frames that I liked and they helped me with my final decision. Very satisfied. I would recommend Chinatown Optical to anyone and everyone needing an eye exam or glasses.”

“Amazing service here. I walked in with a request to cut my lenses and replace onto a different frame. The glasses specialist did an amazing job and the end product looks amazing and the price was affordable. The employees were polite and helpful when I came in with the special request.”

Eric Y. New York, NY via Yelp

“This was by far the best experience I’ve had at any eye doctor. As someone who has put off having an eye appointment for a long time... I will be sure to start booking yearly appointments at this location. The doctor was friendly and efficient. Their staff was great (and patient) picking out frames. Jon went above and beyond to learn more about me while fitting. All that, and it was a 3 day turnaround time from appointment to getting my new glasses! I don't write many reviews.. but they definitely deserve 5+ stars.”
