Kubo Optometry

I literally just left this place about 45 minutes ago. This was my first time going to this optometrist. When you first get here, there’s not much space for you to park. My initial thought was that you can park in the back. So I pull in and I see signs everywhere saying, «No Parking. Violators will be towed at owner’s expense.» I’m like… OH HECKS TO THE NO! So as I’m about to pull out, I see another lady pulling in. I kindly ask her if I could park back there and she said that this week is the last week customers could park back there. So I reposition my car back and walk into the building. As I walk in, the lady I was speaking to was actually my optometrist! Lol.
Anywho, I signed in and they gave me my paperwork to fill out immediately. The kind front desk lady helped me with my eye tests before entering the room where Jessica (The BIG BOSS aka Doctor) would come. Once I was done with my tests, I ended up waiting like 30 seconds for Jessica to come in. They were ON IT! She helped me check my eyes, dilate them, and ran the normal eye tests. Within 10 mins, she sent me to another room where another kind lady was waiting for me to help me choose out my glasses. I preferred the big bulky eye classes that look like bug eyes, but the kind lady told me that it shouldn’t go below my cheek bones and convinced me that the smaller frames worked better for me. I am actually kind of happy that she did that. I don’t have to worry about frames touching my cheeks and when I smile, it won’t lift my glasses up (darn Asian faces with their high cheek bones and no bridge noses –_​-​«). I ended up with a Michael Kors Frame and some extra goodies for my eyes. Right after I was done with that, the kind lady sent me straight back to the exam room so then Dr. Jessica would be able to help me with my contact lenses fitting.
I literally left feeling like a winner! haha. I was able to see clear (besides my eyes being dilated still) and the whole staff was so friendly. I truly recommend anyone to come to this place. Although it’s a little small, it’s totally worth the wait and worth your time and money.
Especially if you work for the State, I would highly recommend you come to this one! I work for the State and was a little hesitant about finding a new optometrist, but let me tell you… this place knows what they’re doing and they’re pretty amazing!

Kubo Optometry saved my day, and my vision! My previous eye doctor «dumped» me and cancelled my appointment because they no longer accept my insurance, and I needed that appointment because I was out of contact lenses. Great– now what? I found Kubo Optometry on my insurance’s website and they were accepting new patients, took my insurance, and could get me in the next day. SCORE!
It’s a small office which is delightfully close to my home. They don’t have miles and miles of eyeglasses on display but the frames they do have are pretty stylish; they also have a nice selection of designer frames. Dr. Huynh was a total sweetheart, super friendly and lightly giggly. My eye exam was a breeze and she even gave me a pair of contacts to use until my order arrived. I had my new contacts in less than a week (probably would’ve had them sooner, but my appointment was right before Christmas).
If you’re looking for a downtown/​midtown optometry office, Kubo is a solid choice.

Dr. Huynh is fabulous and have different designer frames that you can choose from! They even carry Tom fords!

Welcoming and helpful staff and Doctor that made our first experience there a good one.

Dr. Huynh is wonderful! The office looks like it just a makeover. Close to midtown so I get to enjoy one of the restaurants afterwards.

Finally had a chance to have my eyes checked after years of sitting in front of the computer screen from 8:00am — 5:00pm. The front staff was very welcoming, and Dr. Huynh was able to see me right on my scheduled appt time.
The appointment itself was painless, and pretty much what I expected after never having my eyes checked in the past. My work benefits allowed for a full exam, so I made sure to take advantage.
My exam results all came back normal! Although there were wall to wall options of pretty neat looking frames, the doctor advised me without any sales pressure that glasses were only an option if I ever wanted them in the future.
Thank you so much! Hopefully I won’t need to come back soon, but if I do, I know where to go.

Probably the worse customer service and professionalism from Lydia. It’s clear that she doesn’t like or appreciate her job. What she doesn’t realize is the time spent with the Doctor is 30 minutes at best. The rest of the time is spent with the staff, whether it be on the phone and/​or picking up glasses. The doctor may be great but few will get to that point if they have to first encounter Lydia.

My first experience going to this office and seeing Dr. Jessica Huynh– she made such a great first impression! She was very thorough in her explanations, listened to all my issues and gave me resolutions to solve them. She took her time and even helped me decide on frames :) If you’re looking for a professional and knowledgeable doctor – I highly recommend Dr. Jessica Huynh!

I’ve been coming here for years! Even when I didn’t have health insurance, their prices are pretty decent, as far as health care prices go.
I used to see Ronald Kubo, I believe. Douglas took over and I see him now. Great guy, really talkative and makes you feel at ease.
They have a pretty cool selection of frames. The frames I’ve gotten here have always gotten me compliments. :)

Local Downtown Family-​style Optometry at it’s Very Best
SITREP
The Kubo family have been my optometrists since I first started working for the State of California in 1988 downtown and discovered I had vision care benefits.
SET-​UP
Conveniently located (for me) near the corner of 15^th & Broadway, if I schedule it just right, his office is only a lunch-​hour appointment & power-​walk away for me.
MY EVOLVING EYE CARE NEEDS
The Kubo family saw me through law school when my eye-​sight deteriorated significantly that first year when I was literally living in the law school library stacks and reading countless case law books, law school journals and the National Enquirer (for *shits & giggles* to rest my neurons).
GOOD SELECTION OF GLASSES ON MY STATE PLAN
This was the first time I ever needed corrective-​vision wear, so they saw me through a number of very stylish and well-​received eye-​glasses. [I also discovered I had an astigmatism and so was not a good candidate at this time for contact lenses.]
THE LOWDOWN
Kubo Optometry provides outstanding eye-​care in the Downtown
