I love this store and its employees. I've been here 3 times and each time was always pleasant. The owner Raquel is so nice and helpful. You tell her what you need and what kind of occasion it is, and she knows exactly what you're looking for. I have bought a few barongs and a bollero. In my opinion, everything is decently priced. My boyfriend and I have gotten plenty of compliments on them. If you're looking for a barong, bollero, or something nice for a special occasion, look no further; this is your one stop shop! read more

Barong and Formal - Bridal Near Me - Vallejo, California

I went here last month as I needed a barong for an event. Staff wonderful found one in my size in an instant. The color of the design i wanted wasn't there but got something else & in love read more

Your response is absolutely inaccurate and if you thought we left happy you were only paying attention to my son who was happy because he got something. A normal reaction most children would get OR maybe you have mistaken my politeness for happiness. I was taught to be respectful. Thank you for your feedback. My review stands with one less star. THE POSITIVE: If you know what you want and refuse for any additional information from the sales rep or owner, you may have a better experience. you have the advantage of being the only barong formal attire on this side of the Bay Area. It seems their stock is full of basic attire. The material feel varies between items. Depending on what your definition is for cheap this place can be expensive or fair. I wouldn't say it is cheap in cost or hugely take roll on your wallet if you treat it as a formal wear place. read more

Bought two barongs for myself and my husband. I was pleasantly surprised to find a modern one that I've seen online so of course I bought it! Love all the options. There's no way you won't find what you're looking for here! read more

Great service, a great variety of clothing options to choose from and great pricing! Thank you so much for all of your help with finding a Barong for my baby. read more

Needed a barong for a wedding. Nice selection. Easy to find with parking. Hubby happy, happy wife! Check.

Drove here today from San Jose and was well worth the drive. I called ahead of time to confirm if they had my size in a specific style barong and they confirmed they did. When I got there, Jhane had pulled multiple options ahead of time in my size and color I was looking for which made my shopping experience that much quicker. Ended up getting two! Thanks again Jhane for your help! read more

We were greeted as soon as we stepped in. The woman that helped us was very friendly and showed us our options for barongs. He was able to try it on and she even offered to press my husband's barong before we took it home. Luckily we live close and was able to pick it up before they closed. I also decided last minute to purchase a filipiniana bolero and it fit great. Although they were closing in 30 minutes they were more than happy to help me find the perfect one. I tried on several ones and they were very patient with me. The bolero I chose matched my dress perfectly! read more

Thanks to Jane for making my last minute graduation outfit shopping experience easy. Shes very helpful and pleasant to talk to. Salamat!

Unacceptable communication. I called in advance to make sure I can try on the barongs to check out the quality and texture of the clothing. I told the lady that I had to drive far and wanted to make sure I can at least try them on to feel the textiles and comfort. I rarely make a scathing report but this person not only lied to me, but wasted my time. What kind of clothing store doesn't allow a person to try on the clothing before making a purchase decision? I'm still in shock that this lady tried to explain herself that I misheard when I asked her several times on the phone prior to my visit that I can try on the clothes because of the commute. I would never recommend this store to anyone. If I could rate in the negative, I would in a heart beat read more

My husband and I drove an hour to buy barongs here. The person who helped us was really nice - kept calling us my dears. She even let us try on an extra large and a large in order to see if the size fit. They had a good selection and we went with the black ones. They're cheaper than what I thought they would be, and we got matching masks for a wedding! I loved the barongs and I especially enjoyed the customer service. One odd thing though - the person who sold us the barongs thought I was MY HUSBAND'S DAD. read more

A lot of my friends have been trying to find Filipino Barongs around the Bay Area, my friends in the city couldn't even find any in Daly City so I checked out my local shop in Vallejo. They surely do have adult barongs and even toddler/children barongs! Perfect for baptisms! They range around $40 for children but about double the price for adult. They have all your Filipino needs here, santo ninos, devotionals, Maria Clara's and formal wear for women, and a variety of barongs. They're closed on Tuesdays and the lady running the store is always really nice and helpful. This is the spot if you're looking for barongs in the Bay Area. Sometimes they'll have Christmas parols but they don't have them as available or go quickly. Perfect place to find Filipino formal wear, they have an online site but probably easiest going to the store. Located in the Seafood city area in Vallejo. read more

They have great service and quality barong. They also have formal wear for ladies and kids. It's a one stop shop for everything filipiniana :-) read more

Yes, bought 2 barons for my son and a bolero for Filipiniana nights . Staff is very helpful.

Jhane is very bright and full of energy. She asked me to try on a general Barong to gauge my right size. After careful examination of what will fit, she proceeded to show me the various colors she offers. Wow. I am sure happy with the purple fade my Barong has going on. Thank you Jhane for your valuable time. Quick TIP: go during the weekdays if you want more personal time, she's busy on the weekends. Also she's CLOSED TUESDAYS! Happy read more

Came here for the first time after many years as my boyfriend wanted to wear a barong for my family party. As soon as we walked in, the woman was very friendly and was very quick to help us find the right shirt. I even got the traditional sleeves for myself! read more

Too pricey, no returns and the saleslady is so pushy. I did not end up buying. Good selection but expensive. There is a small fitting room. Might try online where it's cheaper and returnable in case it does not fit. read more

the only store in California everything is final sale and can't return even its less than a week. This business should be reported in Better Business Bureau. Not Customer Friendly better buy online or elsewhere. BEWARE!!! read more

My mom just bought a shawl here and a brooch. She took it home and unfortunately the shawl did not match her dress. Thus, we tried to return it as she's not able to use the shawl and brooch, but the salesperson said they do not accept returns. Really? She only had it only for 1 day and has never worn it. It would not be so bad but the small shawl is $64 and the brooch is $30+ totalling over $100. This is a lot of money for a Senior citizen. The salesperson should have told her that there is a no return policy. If she did, we for sure would not have bought the items as we were unsure if it was going to be a perfect match to her dress. Shame...for not making this clear. I do not recommend people to buy at this store. So, this should be a zero star. read more

Let me first say that the customer service here is 10/10. We came here on a none busy day when Jhane and Raquel manages to help me with what i needed most for my wedding day. I was able to find my barong and it was unique. Very satisfied with what they have showed me. They offered many varieties of barongs. They were also able to find my fiancé's a nice dress. Along with my kids barong. They have the perfect clothing for my event. I can't be thankful enough of how much relief i felt knowing i will have the best wedding representing their high quality of dresses and barongs. The staff was really friendly and it enlighten our mood. They also gave me a free sticker. Thankful for this place for fulfilling my needs. Highly recommend to people who are graduating, getting married, having a death ceremony and many more events. The service was 5/5. The owner and the staff is really friendly and had a lot of choices when it comes to the dress and the barong. Thank you guys for the great service. Me and my family was satisfied with the purchase! read more

Barong and Formal - My barong and my wife's filipinana modern dress. - Bridal Near Me - Vallejo, California

i am reading all the reviews . for some who did not like the place it seemed it was all about customer service . The respond to all the comments seems the same . " the rep was getting annoyed " because she did not like many dresses . This is definitely attitude problem and lack of customer service . You should have said - you have a plan to improve this and here it is ... the apology is nothing when we don't know what your plan for improvement . you did not even ask who was her rep ! sad i want to come to this place but now i am dissatisfied already just reading comments. In addition to - covid or no covid , customers paid for the shipping it should be on time !! those clothes in your store has been there , it was not made yesterday . And the alterations, boy i can't believe the price . It's not that hard to cut, saw, and tuck . they are sitting most of the time . Oh wait , " it's covid " read more

The saleslady is rude, unprofessional and condescending. She should learn how to treat her customers well.

I was in a barong emergency and the staff was so incredibly helpful. They were able to meet the needs of my wedding party. Though it was a bit pricey, I think the purchases were worth it. read more

I bought a barong here recently at the lady working was very helpful. I wonder how many sales this place makes a day. I would think not a lot of people need to buy some Filipino formal wear that often. Maybe lots of people go here to get wedding gear and there's more weddings and cotillions than I think would happen that occur year round in this area. Anyway, they got some good product here so it wouldn't be a bad idea to check it out if you just randomly want to buy a barong like I did. read more

I have been looking for the perfect attire to go to a wedding vs the typical suit. I decided that I'm going to change it up. I decided let my roots come out. I searched the whole Bay Area and decided to go to Barong & Formal in Vallejo, CA. I walk in and was greeted by Marife. She was so helpful and guided me throughout the whole process. There are lots of color choices and designs for Barongs (filipino formal shirt) and couldn't make a decision. She explained the different materials, designs, and recommended some styles that would complement 2 Barongs. I left with 2 which complimented each other. My husband and I will look smashing at the wedding we are attending. Well worth the drive from San Francisco. I will definitely will be back! Maraming salamat Marife! read more

Hours are inaccurate. All platforms such as Google, Yelp & even their own website says they are open on Tuesdays. Drove over 1 hour from the South Bay and was extremely frustrated & disappointed to see them closed. There is a small sign on the window that indicates "closed" on Tuesdays. Wish they would've made more effort to update the online info. Super inconvenient for customers traveling from across the bay for this specialty store. Highly recommend calling first! Luckily, on the way back home, was able to find what I needed somewhere else. read more

I bought my son's barong here for his communion over six years ago. We came here today looking for a barong for his 8th grade graduation. I found a few places where you could buy them online. However, I wanted for my son to be able to try on the barongs to make sure it fits right, looks good, and most importantly, he likes it. Came in the store. The lady took a little bit of time to help us. She also seemed too scared to help us out. We were wearing masks and sanitized our hands before we entered the store. I asked if my son could try on the barongs. She said because of the pandemic, my son can't. Okay. I asked if we could return it, if it turns out it doesn't fit right. She said no. She said she can put it on his back to see if it's the right size. Lady, are you crazy?! That's like buying a suit or tux without trying it on. I understand there's a pandemic, but why even open your store if you have this ridiculous policies in place? You could get a steamer to sanitize the barongs after they have been tried on. I said no thank you and walked out. I guess she will not be getting my business. Called a tailor in SF who has some off-the-rack barongs in stock. She said of course, your son will have to try it! Guess where I'll be buying his barong? read more

Awesome little shop right next to the Seafood City supermarket! I have a wedding to attend next week, and I desperately needed something to wear. So I said, "I think I'm gonna go get me a Barong Tagalog!" I didn't have the time to get myself measured and have it custom-tailored, so I went to Barong & Formal. I ventured out here last Friday, and I met a nice lady that went by the name of "We." She was very nice and sweet and even helped me put the barong on. I was surprised that they had my size, because I'm a pretty big Filipino! We found a pina barong that looked great on me. I didn't have enough funds in my account, so I asked if she could hold onto it until Sunday. She had no problem with that, and I came back on Sunday where she welcomed me with a smile on her face. I bought it along with a white undershirt, and it came out to just under $130. I don't think that's a bad price at all. Thank you, We!!! =) (they also sell dresses for women, and a bunch of different items from the Philippines) read more

They don't accept returns! This store is so hungry for money. no fitting room. They don't follow costumers right.

We went here recently to look for a Barong Tagalog for my son's 1st Communion. It was easy to find and there were a lot of Filipino stores next door. I found a Barong perfect for the little man with help from the nice Sales lady. There were a lot of different styles of Barongs and I amazed on how many different varieties they had to offer. I was looking for a tie to go with the Barong and they did not have one for a 7 year old. Looks like I have to order one online. Other than that, the Service and the price was just right. Time to get a Buko Pandan next door at Jolliebee. read more

Wow! It's super expensive here. I had always passed by the shop whenever I was at Seafood City and I finally paid this store a visit this week. The nicer Maria Clara dresses are around $500 and barongs are $200. There are of course simpler styles which cost less but those were the prices for the nice ones. It's cheaper to just have it made or ask a kamaganak to buy you one in the Philippines. Nice designs though. I guess if you're desperate for a barong and in a time crunch this isn't a bad store to go to but it will definitely cost you. read more

The lady at the counter kept asking me if I needed help I wanted to just look at the items myself but she kept asking me what was the occasion for and I said for anything but she kept asking me about 10 times what the occasion was for even though I told her 10 times over that it was for anything. Imagine the irritation going back and forth asking/telling that. It was almost like she didn't want me to see what they were actually selling. I didn't know specifically what I wanted but if I found something I like I wanted to purchase it. I found something there and asked if they were letting people try them on. She said no because of covid-19 which is understandable. And then she said there are no returns. So if something doesn't work out are we just supposed to buy and keep the things the don't fit us? I left the store feeling irritated with the unpleasant customer service from the moment I got there read more

My wedding was in one week and the groom still hadn't bought his barong. Thank goodness for MaryFae ( I think that's how it's spelled) helped us out. We found the one he wanted with the PI islands on the front and it was even yellow/gold, which is our color scheme. It even ended up being on sale! Great selection, awesome staff, overall fantastic experience! read more

The worst service EVER! The people who work there are rude... Bastos talaga!!! My fiancé and I walked into the shop looking for a barong for him and our two boys. At first they were nice and helpful, but I guess they didn't want to show us the different styles of barongs. My fiancé was looking to buy a barong for our wedding, so he wanted to make sure he found the right style. (He wasn't going to buy the first "nice" barong he saw that cost $250). They insisted that the 2nd one they showed us was the "nicest" one. We still wanted to see more styles to be sure that there wasn't something we were missing. You aren't allowed to try on the barongs that they have. Instead you're only able to try on the plain samples for size.... After trying on a few, it seemed like they were rushing us to make a decision so that we can buy and go... 1 lady helped us while the other was behind the counter eating. When we wanted to look at the different styles for our boys, we asked to see what different embroidery work they had cause we wanted to find the same style if not closest to their Dad's style barong. Instead the lady eating her food stood up and said in a RUDE tone, "what style are you looking for?" I told her that we don't have a particular style in mind because we're not familiar with the "STYLES".... If we were, obviously we wouldn't have asked. The other lady who was helping us rolled her eyes.... JERK. So I told my fiancé, "LET'S GO!" I didn't understand why they were rushing us, we were the only people in the store (2 adults and 2 kids) and there were 2 of them to help us. The other one ate and the other one (kind of) helped us. The other one who was eating only put her 2 cents in I guess when she felt like she had to get off her butt and work. I would give this place "NO" stars, but yelp wont allow it. So I guess 1 is good enough to show that this place is "TERRIBLE!!!!!".... If you just want to buy a barong and not care too much about what your buying, then this is the place to buy... Basically buy and go.... There are 2 other places to buy barongs in the bay area. 1.) www.weddinggownsuperstore.com / Wedding Gown Superstore located in Fremont off of 880/Stevenson. It's a bridal store that sells wedding gowns, but they also sell barongs there. The lady who owns the portion of the store that sells tuxedo's and men's wear, sells the barongs. She is really nice, patient and HELPFUL! You can try on ALL their barongs. 2.) Pioneer's Tailors & Alterations 2963 Mission Street, San Francisco (415) 334-6034/ We went to this store after we left Vallejo and the man who helped us was SO nice. Gil & Beck are the owners of this little alterations shop that sells barongs. They were actually closed that day but saw my fiancé walk up to their door, and they were kind enough to open their shop to us. They live above their little shop, and they have a nice selection of barongs. They were helpful and patient. Not only did they tell us we can wait a while to make a decision, but they told us they'd hold my fiancé's barong and my 2 boys barongs for a couple weeks. If you buy your barong from them, they will do the alterations for free if there is any needed. Needless to say, we decided that we are going to purchase from them. My fiancé liked their service so much that he's going to buy 2!!! read more

Bad service!!! The employee "FORGOT" to tell me ALL SALES ARE FINAL after purchasing barongs for my groomsmen. After finding a place that was cheaper and had more selection at Concord Sea food city I tried to return the barongs to this place and was denied. After she told me herself she FORGOT to tell me, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. (There are NO SIGNS UP saying so) She told me it was on the receipt. That does not make any sense... After trying to talk to her and telling her how she made a mistake for not telling me BEFORE hand, she still denied the return. She got her commission! THIS PLACE IS A JOKE! PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! Thank you. read more
