Paris Miki Optical

We love this place. We have been shopping for frame, lens and sunglasses for the past two years and we absolutely love this place.
Bernadette was very patient to answer all our questions even during high volume of customers season (towards the end of year). She worked with us for selecting the frame style we like, light and durable, and figure out how we can get most out of our insurance and pay minimum out-​of-​pocket.
However, since we didn’t shop around, we don’t really know how their price compares with others, but their service is absolutely the best, will come back for sure.

Fantastic selection, professional, and I had glasses in a half hour (normally an hour)! After a bad transaction with Spex in the City, I was very appreciative to find Paris Miki. Thank you!

They have a pretty good collection of frames. Right from Armani, versace, ray ban to be be, miu miu and even economy frames.
They actually have frames with complete packages starting from 59 dollars. Their airflex frames where the complete package costs 180 dollars is are in fact very good.
They have 20 percent off on most frames and they use japaneses prescription lenses which just cost 110 a pair. The overall deal thus wraps up pretty cheap.
I got a versace frame with antiglare anti reflective spherical lenses for just 350. Pair it with another frame and you get additional 10 percent off on second and cheaper frame.

Took my girlfriend here to get a new pair of Ray-​bans. The service here is great! Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff.
They have a big selection of Ray-​bans and Maui Jim’s and can order anything they don’t have.
If you buy a pair of sunglasses or glasses here they will adjust them for you and clean them for free for the life of the glasses. I’ll be back here!

Paris Miki was great! They fit me and my two kids with glasses and sunglasses. My kids think they look cool :). Dr. Jacob gave us exams there too. Everything was simple and efficient. We really liked Dr. Jacob and the staff. They billed my insurance so I didn’t have to deal with it and I didn’t have to pay anything at all. We will be going back next year as the kids eyes change.

The selection of frames was good at this store, but that’s the only good thing about this store.
Their customer service was very cold and indifferent. They would offer the minimum help to get you what you did, but not a bit more.
Their pricing was also inconsistent between sales people. When I initially visited the store, I was given the sales pitch how the glasses I was looking at was on sale, and I would qualify for additional discount with the MS prime card. I showed them my eye wear insurance coverage, and I was told I would get insurance coverage based on their sale price.
When I ordered the glasses with deposit, and went back the second time, I was given a completely different pricing. This time, I was told with insurance I won’t be eligible for their sales price on frame and lens.
I was shocked, as I bought glasses from this same store before two years ago, and they even have the original sales receipt with insurance coverage calculated based on the sales price at the time. I was given a official line speech about how they never did that when I could retrieve my credit card transaction from two years ago which matches the sales price + insurance coverage.
I was also given the reason that they don’t do this because using sales price and insurance coverage would reduce their profit. I can’t believe what I am hearing.
In summary, if you like their selection, skip this store and go to their Seattle store instead where you will be treated with respect and honesty.

Great service, wonderful selection, fantastic quality! I have been a regular for well over 10 years. I have bought 4 frames, the last in July of this year. I just finished replacing the lenses in all of them with multi focal progressive lenses. I have never had a problem with any of the frames I bought there. They never need adjustment and the screws never fall out or even need to be tightened. Oddly enough, their prices are reasonable, Vista Optical charges a minimum of $ 20 more for the basic multi focal lens then what Paris Miki charges for no glare, UV and scratch resistant! The doc was cool too, I bought multi focal contacts from her, she was quite helpful.

This store is part of the Paris Miki group in Japan. Paris Miki is like the Lens Crafters of Japan; a middle tier of eyeglass stores with OK prices. We didn’t experience their optometry services, and only bought eyeglasses based on a previous prescription.
The Japanese woman was the most helpful and friendly. The others were not super friendly or helpful, although they were efficient and got the job done. If you need Japanese speaking services, then this is definitely a place to consider for your eyeglass needs.

Terrible costumer service at Dr. Kristin Liffick Jacob’s office!!! The lady who works there
gave me a nasty attitude just asking simple question!!!

OK, I bought glasses from them in late 2008 because they had a good sale going and my insurance was about to run out. I should have run away when I first started feeling hesitant, but I did not because of those time pressures.
The store manager was helpful but sort of cold. She was not interested in offering any opinion about the glasses I was trying on. She just stayed quiet. I’m one of those shoppers that wants some feedback.
I picked out some frames that offered a groovy feature that I really liked; they came with magnetic click-​on sunglasses. I’ve always hated prescription sunglasses because they never seem quite right and it’s a pain to have to swap glasses all the time, and I’ve always hated non-​prescription sunglasses because I can’t see worth a damn through them, and these seemed like a solution to all those problems. And that part WAS good.
Sending the order off to Japan to be made? Not so good. Two-​week wait. I was ready for glasses NOW. When they came in, the fitting she did was minimal and not satisfactory. I went back twice to try to get them to improve it; the first woman said they don’t do adjustments and the second person, a man this time, said he would try but he wasn’t responsible if he broke them. WTF.
I was annoyed about it at the time, and a few weeks later, while in Factoria, I wandered into LensCrafters to check out their prices. The gal there was friendly and helpful and offered to adjust my glasses because they weren’t sitting right on my face. She did a better job than any of the Paris Miki people did, even though I didn’t buy them there, and when I offered to pay for the adjustment, she waved me off. If I wanted cheap glasses, I would actually consider LensCrafters before I’d go back to Paris Miki.

Dr. Jacob was very helpful, honest, informative and friendly. In all my years, she is the best I’ve seen in the area (I’ve lived in King County most all my life). The office is very accommodating in regards to making things affordable for their patients. The receptionist is friendly, organized and because of this I’ve never been confused about anything in regards to their office + my respective insurance policy + coverage for my diagnosis.
It is very likely I will continue visiting here for future vision care, and have recommended to all of my family members and a few friends!

I haven’t had my eyes checked in years since i don’t have vision coverage but the fee was not too high and the service was excellent. Dr. Jacob is very honest, caring and knowledgeable. my visit was fast, efficient, informative and pleasant.

Doctor Jacob is pleasant and professional. When I ask questions, her answers are always thorough and seem to take my specific situation and history into account.
The ladies working there have always been courteous and helpful, though they never seem to recognize me even when I talked to the same person three times in a week.
I used to get my glasses at Wal-​Mart Vision Center. Comparatively, Paris Miki Optical costs a bit more, but their lab turnaround is faster, and they work better with my insurance company.
Their location at Crossroads is convenient. There is lots of parking, and I often combine with a trip to the DOL or Sports Authority.
