Chapman Plaza Valet

Wow worst service ever. In all my years of valet (which is at least 10) I have to say I had the worst experience tonight. Not only were they rude they mockingly waved me good bye and asked my bf to ‘control your woman’. Wtf?! Who the heck says that. Please. Don’t forget you are talking me. You need to deal with me and whatever issues you have with me and not look for an easy way out okay??? Worst service ever.
Negative stars if I could. O.M.G. Wow
If you care at all about your car or your personal wellbeing DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT PARK HERE!

Definitely avoid this place if you can! They dented the back of my trunk with their reckless driving! All the cars are almost stacked on top of each other and the drivers act like they’re baggage handlers tossing around luggage. They accelerate and slam on brakes probably because they’re trying to get as many tips as they can. It’s really ridiculous!

Don’t be lazy. C’mon now. Just for the love of GOD. Please walk your fat-​ass a few blocks up and street park…

I am gathering people who have been harmed by this LA cosmos valet at chapman plaza. For years valet attendant have been leaving emergency lights flashing when you pick up your car. Valet people don’t turn off your emergency lights when you pick up the car. It is up to you to know that they are on. Did you know chapman plaza sits on what LAPD calls it W-​1 zone. Trouble spot in korea town. Police patrol constantly from 8 pm to 3am. If you know anyone who has been pulled over by police because chapman plaza Valet left emergency lights flashing while driving, email me at

Emergency lights flashing at a plaza where there are more than 5 bars is like painting a big bulls eye on your back. Easy assist to LAPD.

This place sucks. Hands down. If you park here… here are a few things you HAVE to be cautious of…
1. It takes FOREVERRRRRR for them to bring your car. If you want to leave a place by midnight, you have to get your valet ticket to the station by 1120pm. It’s awful.
2. If you try to leave after 1am, the valet guys JACK UP the prices! You can try to argue, but they won’t give you your keys unless you pay whatever ridiculous price they demand from you. Parking is supposed to be $ 2, but they’ll tell you it’s $ 5 or $ 7 if they feel like it. NOT OK. Super shady business practice!
3.They steal. If you leave cash lying around or even an ipod~ expect it to be gone.
4. RUDE service.
5. Did I mention they make you wait 30 – 40 minutes for your car???
I ALWAYS ALWAYS try to park on the street. I’d rather circle for a half hour at the beginning of the night than risk leaving my car with the attendants at chapman plaza.

I KNEW I couldn’t be the only one that found the Chapman Plaza valet the most ridiculous thing ever!
Seriously, if you’re planning on spending any part of your weekend at Chapman Plaza you will thank me a million times over for telling you not to park there. I quickly learned that it takes the valet at least 30 minutes to find your car, and ⁹⁄₁₀ of them are incredibly rude. I either find street parking or go home if I can’t find any. The last 2 times I was there, my friends parked their cars with the valet, and waited a minimum of a half hour for the attendants to retrieve their cars. It doesn’t matter if it’s 11pm or 1am, they have a horrible system, and you will be joining the crowd of people who are impatiently waiting as well. It’s chaotic, and pretty damn unexcusable for a valet business to be run in this manner.

What happens when you gather a few daredevils and a hundred cars in a parking lot meant for 20 cars?
Lots of OOHs and AHHHs and OMFGGGGs~
For thrill seekers who like to see their cars involved in high speed action film quality stunts by untrained stuntsmen, well… this is the parking lot for you.

FOLLOW JAIRO’S ADVICE. DO NOT PARK HERE. The valets are reckless drivers and try to show off their substandard driving skills by going very fast in a very small parking lot. CASE IN POINT, MY CAR!!! My car is brand new. When I dropped my keys off with the valet, I said park it in front. He did, but when I looked at it the morning after, I noticed a big scratch on the bumper. I know when you take the ticket, they disclaim any liability, so I’m going to eat the cost, rather than fight with these people. So, bottom line, do not park here. Find street parking, or park in any other lots, including across the street.

Everyone is familiar with the Chapman Plaza: Bohemian restaurant, Toe Bang, Gaam, chapman karoake, etc. But let’s talk about the valet parking at this place IT SUCKS! I went with my friend to Toe Bang and I made the stupid decision to park with car inside the plaza. When i was getting off the car the guy asked me if i wanted him to leave the car inside the plaza ($ 5) or outside ($ 2). I thought to make this quick i told him to leave it inside. Then after dinner and 3 bottle of Soju we saw this big crowd of people by the valet booth of easily 30 people all of them waiting for their car, I was listening to a guy saying he has been waiting for his car for about an hour LOL. Everything at this place was a chaos I have never seen so much disorentation from any valet service i have encountered at restaurants, concert halls, office buildings… you name it. People were just handed out their ticket and money to the valet 10 of them at the same time! and not knowing which car to pick first. Some of these cars were parked right next to them like mine! and other were parked two blocks away. If i was running this operation which car would i get first… well for them was to get the car parked two blocks away!, very unreal, because of my Spanish nagging I was lucky enough to get my car in 20 minutes! but NEVER AGAIN i would park there EVER
ATTENTION WARNING!!! DONT PARK ON CHAPMAN PLAZA DURING any WEEKEND
