I feel TERRIBLE about having to leave this review but I did try *everything* in my power to rectify this situation prior to resorting to this, as I genuinely do not believe in leaving negative reviews for small businesses. I am willing to delete this review & put up a positive one as long as I receive a response from the owner w/ an agreeable resolution. I called the business this morning & requested to speak to the owner - I was told that the owner only comes in on Sundays. I was not given a direct line to them. I then requested an email to reach out to- I was told the employee isn't aware of this business having any email. So I did try my best to communicate with the owner directly instead of leaving a public review, but unfortunately there are just no direct modes of communication available to customers. Moreover, I have been going to this laundromat for years & in general held my tongue whenever I noticed something disagreeable, precisely because it is such a great laundromat at a convenient location w/ excellent staff, great hrs of operation, and, unlike so many businesses, what appears to be a rejection of the surveillance state (I haven't noticed any recording cameras). But it's worth noting that when they mysteriously stopped accepting pennies without any sign or disclosure, I said nothing. When their dryers seemed to need a whole 1.25-1.50 to dry clothes (like I said, I've been going here for years & I remember three quarters, i.e. 0.75, being sufficient to dry a load of laundry. the dryers do NOT seem to be working as well as they used to), I said nothing. But now that I had an entire batch of clothes absolutely RUINED, it really is time to say something. I arrived to this location last night intending to stay under an hour, as I just had one load of laundry to do. After my clothes were done being laundered, I loaded my items in a free dryer. Before anyone asks, no, nothing was wrong with my attire upon removing from the washer. Please do not suggest that I had anything in my pockets, because if I did, after doing laundry on the warm cycle, I would have seen damages on my clothes upon removing my clothes from the washer (there are other ways I can confirm I did not have anything in my clothing pockets- for starters, only 1 single garment in this whole entire hoard even HAD pockets). I did not notice anything particularly wrong with this dryer, as there was no sign indicating anything was wrong, & the business usually leaves an "out of order" sign on any machine that isn't functioning. As soon as the dryer timer was done, I started taking out my belongings & noticed item after item was coming out SOAKED in black marks. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that they looked like ink marks. I started inspecting the dryer carefully and could see tons of wet black spots all over it. As I ruffled through the clothes, I saw the culprit... a black pen (that did not belong to me), which had clearly exploded with the heat of the dryer. The pen was almost the same color as the dryer, so I hadn't noticed it there upon loading my clothes in. I don't know if it exploded during my dry cycle or some previous dry cycle. Needless to say I was *devastated.* I should have been done with my laundry at this point. I had already been at this location for nearly an hour. Instead, I had to bring this to the attention of the employee working at the time. She was extremely helpful to me- if it weren't for her help, I would have lost ALL of my laundered items, the damages of which would have amounted to hundreds of dollars and I would have *certainly* taken this business to court b/c I just can't eat up a cost like that. She put an 'out of order' sign on the dryer & gave me a bottle of stain remover so that I could try getting the stains out of the garments. I used some of the Shout spray but noticed that the ink wasn't removable. I should note that I have a degree in chemistry, so I am aware that alcohol is the best remover of ink stains; I asked the employee if she had any isopropyl alcohol. She didn't; she gave me a hand sanitizer bottle instead. I then spent the next 2 hours hovered over their sink basin, soaking garments in alcohol, scrubbing, squeezing the excess liquid out to try & salvage my items. The alcohol appeared to be somewhat working- I could see some ink falling into the sink and some of the stains fading. My hands at this point were covered in ink & alcohol, & I was exhausted after both working all day & using all of my strength to hand-scrub garments on a Monday at 9PM. The employee was nice enough to let me run a second wash for free after all of the garments were soaked in Shout and/or alcohol. Not that this covered the cost of the excess detergent I had to use to run a second wash I never should have needed to run, but I digress. Thanks to her help, I was able to salvage a great number of clothes, including my favorite pair of pants! Unfortunately, many items were unsalvageable :( read more

See all

Very friendly service, keeps clothes very organized. I come here every week and they always keep my belongings very neat and ready to go. Highly recommen. read more

EXTREMELY RUDE AND DISMISSIVE!! Most of the people that work here are so nice and helpful and I always come to this laundromat but I went to pick up my laundry today and the man with the ponytail was so rude to me that I will NEVER COME HERE AGAIN! I will be going to the laundromat around the corner from now on. No one with that kind of attitude should be working in any type of costumer service job! I could not believe how this man treated a complete stranger and costumer! I even brought change because I had planned to leave a tip but he was so nasty to me that I couldn't. Horrible costumer service. It makes me sad that this one person completely ruined my experience at Chow's but I will not be returning to be treated with such disrespect. It is not worth it. read more

The sign indicates last wash is at 7:30pm however that is not the case. Arriving just in time for last wash, I was immediately met with hostility, saying "I am not going to sit here and wait for you". Please change your signs if you intend on closing at time of last wash. The advertised hours were the only appeal as it was convenient. I will not be returning. read more

My daughter likes it but I wont ever go back. The whole vibe was off and the washers and dryers are very old and run down. I found a nice spot in Whitestone. read more

I am a busy blue collar worker and I needed a place I could drop off my laundry. I have tried most of the areas laundromats and have found them to be a hassle. I have used Chows Laundromat service many times and have always been impressed. The same day service is amazing. I had a stain on my shirt and I was nervous that it wouldn't be removed. They were able to get the stain out completely! The staff was very friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend Chows Laundromat! Thank you! read more

Good laundromat but a bit small so I recommend going on midweek when it's less busy, they have some seats that are often available if you need to sit and wait. read more

Good machines and well maintained, premises clean and neat, helpful staff answers questions and available for leave-it service.

I dropped off about 100 lbs of laundry here a little less than a year ago. It was cheap, I believe a dollar a pound- but you get what you pay for. I got back a blanket that wasn't mine, but looked like mine - it was a very similar fleece material to my blanket and almost the same shade of gray, but definitely NOT MINE- obviously they wash your stuff with other peoples stuff after sorting by fabric and color. My blanket was not returned to me. To make matters worse, I dropped off atleast 10 pairs of new Victoria secret underwear, I know I included these items- without doubt. I never received them back, I also had a black adidas hoodie vanish. When I called the laundromat to inquire about my missing items and the blanket switch, I was told that there was a physical lost and found area and I should check there. Also, every few weeks they threw everything away from this "lost and found". I dropped my laundry off here because of the positive rating- what a mistake. There are no positive recent reviews, for good reason. Don't bring ur laundry here unless you are okay with not getting all of it back. I mean seriously, who has time to drive here, find parking, and then look through a clothing lost and found?? So unprofessional. The kid who answered the phone both times I called here might as well have said "I could give a sh*t less about your stuff, lady", as it would have been literally impossible to interpret his scoffing tone, any differently. Beyond unprofessional. DO NOT drop your stuff off here, or it very well may be the last time you see it.. and what really chaps my a$$, and it ought to chap yours too, is the fact that you're being charged to throw away your clothing and/or linens. I didn't call yelling or screaming, I called twice, very politely, asking about where my missing items were, and to inform them I had someone else's bedding (which they didn't ask for back, btw)- and didn't even get an apology. I bet I will get one now on Yelp- but who wants to resort to such measures in order to get one? I didn't and don't even want one- all I want are the services I pay for. Aren't we all entitled to that? read more

Love this place very clean I wouldn't go anywhere else.

This Horrible Place that I ever Seen The washing machine was not working probably (water issues) so i show at the moment and asked to refund of 2.25. but the worker say that machine is no problems. I kept showing the issues but she ignored. I ask just for refund so He said she will. But she said she is not going to not refund because these was no issues. But end up I got refund because I made my voice A louder. After the issues was solved, she was making fun of me in Spanish. I said Excessed me, Stop making fun of me, but end up she said she will call the police. How awful is? SUCH A BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY OFFERED read more

This is such a great family owned laundromat. Met the owners and they were so friendly and helpful. I did the drop off service and some of my clothes had unspeakable stains on them. It was returned to me the next day looking brand new. This laundromat is located in great location next to so many restaurants and a public library close by. This is definitely becoming my "to go" laundromat from now on. I just want to tell the Chows thank you for your great service. read more

I like bringing my laundry to this place because they are helpful, courteous, and allow me to bring my 98lbs of laundry at 7:00am and pick it up at 6:00pm, clean and neatly folded. My only thing is that I dont think they use enough bleach /softner t make the clothes white and smelling , . . . . I guess fresh? its just smells like clothes from the dryer. Does that make sense? Pshhh, you know what I mean but yea other thanm that they are awesome and thats why they get five stars from me. the clothes are coming back clean , just not white enough and fresh smelling enough for my standards. then again, no onte is going to take care of my clothes like I do. I have a bit of O.C.D. for my clothing. Yep, I'm that one with the baking soda and bleach on an old toothbrush trying to scrub out that oil stain out of my three-year-old's polo from last night's Aloo Gobi. read more

I've been going to this laundromat for a few months and I love their service. The owners are very helpful and courteous. When I'm too busy to get my laundry done myself, I opt for the drop off service. I always get my clothes back fresh and nicely folded. I'll continue to come here as long as they're providing excellent service read more

Dropped dirty clothes off, got some clean clothes back. Quick service. Beverly was really nice and accommodating, I had about 50 pounds of clothes and they came back smelling socially acceptable again. read more

Outstanding drop off service. Inexpensive AND they really take good care of your clothes

Nicest and cleanest laundromat in the area. It's owned by a nice family. Will definitely be the place to have our clothes cleaned!

Awesome little laundry mat on Bell. Dryers are hot and work well, owner is friendly and the place is clean!

Great clean place! Workers are nice and not rude.. weekdays in the morning are empty... did my laundry in and out... the machines are in great shape... especially the medium and large loads!! read more

Just want to give a quick shout out to the Bell Laundromat at 42-30 Bell Blvd. Beverly and her husband are very customer service oriented and know how to treat customers so they come back again. I just dropped off all the linens from the Taste of Bayside, over 120 pounds. They gave me a 20% discount and took everything from my car and make a very tough job, for me, very easy. We should all support local business that know how to do it right. Judy Limpert President Bayside Business Association. read more
