Great customer service, very reasonable prices, and an numerous amount of qipaos and tang suits to try! You do need to call them on their phone to make an appointment since it is at a different location than here. Definitely need to speak Chinese (I speak broken and conversational Mandarin) to communicate but still managed to get my beautiful qipao with tailor. Overall, highly recommend to friends and family who are looking for qipaos. Her qipaos also won Miss Chinatown a few times too so you know she's talented :-)

We had such a great experience here and are so happy with our wedding outfits. This sweet couple…read moreserved the Chinatown community for many years and now continue their work in Rosemead. There are not many places left where you can actually see, try on, and choose from a wide selection of qipaos in person. Especially for weddings and special occasions, and their selection truly exceeded our expectations at very reasonable prices. They were incredibly kind and helpful. She even steamed and altered my qipao and helped us find a matching jacket for my fiancé. You can really tell how much care they put into what they do. Highly recommend if you are looking for a qipao and want to support a wonderful small - family business. **I recommend calling them first **

Cheap and fast service. They measure your hem line and they even have medium high heels for your pants alteration. They also sell all kind of not so great Chinese clothing but I never bought anything from them. Plenty of parking.

Personally I don't like to spend money on mass produced clothes to look like everybody else. That would never happen here. The extra appeal for me is that I hardly ever find the same things twice. Other shoppers I see who frequent here like the lady suits that can be custom to fit since the owner can do a little tailoring on the side for free I think--now that's customer service! Costs are fair though the cool friendly owner can give some price breaks too. And hooray, she accepts ATM/credit cards. =)

Great gift shop to go to for kids and adults! Worker was very sweet and helped answer all my questions since some items don't have price tags on them.

The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. Browse at your leisure, they did not rush or pressure you to buy. As you enter, there is a shelf to the right of the entrance to drop off your beverage. No drinks allowed while browsing. We had brought some ice tea moments earlier and were guilty of trying to bring it inside! I think this rule is fair since you may bump into something and spill the tea! Street parking nearby or use the public lot around the corner. Sincerely, Rosemary

I have a Takashima closer to me, but it's always exciting when a new Asian beauty/JP focused cosmetics etc shop opens up in the area. If you are a fan of the Japanese affordable, "drug store" brand Canmake, this is definitely the place to go if you're not close by to Tokyo Central. The stock for Canmake make up and skincare goods is definitely much more well stocked and diverse than what is in Rowland Heights. I got the "aegyo sal"/shiny tear liner that I've been trying to find for awhile and I also got some nice mascara as well. They also carry other brands such as the widely loved Ishizawa Lab Nadeshiko sheet masks, face wash, etc products and the cute Country & Stream lip care items. I honestly still think that Shibuyala has the wider breadth of variety also by virtue of being the bigger store, but if you can't find it there, Takashima is you're next best bet to hit up. Really wished this spot has a snack section like the RH location, but I understand the space limitations.

She was looking for some bras... the old school versions. They were very busy. We had to wait our turn. The nice lady who worked here showed us the bras they sell. Unfortunately, they were padded and didn't fit well for my Mom. Please note there aren't a lot of space so it will be a tight squeeze if there are lots of people in the aisles. Lots of clothing hanging inside the shop. They have clothing and merchandise displayed out in front of the shop as well. We didn't buy anything during our visit. However, this shop is worth a visit. They may have something for you.

Thank you to Helen for turning around a beautiful cheongsam for my wedding. I admit I came to Helen…read morea bit late in the game so there was a tight deadline getting my dress and the fitting but Helen made it happen. You call Helen to make an appointment. Then there you can browse her selection of designs, which she designs herself. If you give her enough time you can pick the fabric. Otherwise you'll have to settle for the fabrics that are more readily available. She'll take your measurements and then you set an appointment to try on your gown. Make sure to bring the shoes you plan to wear on your special occasion so she gets the length right. Then on your second trip, make sure you have your receipt number handy. Maybe take a picture of it as soon as she gives it to you on your first visit. Then she may make additional adjustments or not. Helen also has a lot of dresses available for rental as well. This is a very homey, small business shop so the fitting room is basically a big closet in the back. She is really nice, kinda reminds me of many friends' moms. She speaks limited English so if you have a particular vision and don't speak Mandarin, I'd bring a friend to help translate. My dress came out so well fitting and I got a lot of compliments on it. Hope to find another occasion to wear it again (and hope I can still fit it lol). It was around $300, not too bad! There is street parking in front and residential parking around.

Miss Helen works MAGIC when it comes to QiPao designs. I was looking around for a QiPao to wear to…read moremy graduation and stumbled upon Brocade Apparel after multiple failed attempts of finding a well fitting, generic QiPao in Chinatown. I am very glad that I decided to come to Brocade to see Helen. I did not have an appointment, but Helen took me in graciously. Which she did not have to since she does state on her website that appointment are REQUIRED. I clearly did not read it carefully enough at the time. I told her where some of my insecurities were and she explained that QiPaos look best on people who have some extra meat and fluff to them and she was able to point on what type of designs would help accentuate my natural curves. She rushed my order a bit as I did not know that QiPaos that are custom takes a minimum of 3-4 months to make. I had the basic QiPao design and Helen added the sleeves for me although there is normally an extra charge to add sleeves to QiPaos. Please DO NOT throw away your receipt since you have to text that to her the day before the fitting so she can track your dress. I had a initial fitting in mid November and I received my dress about 3 weeks after since I had gained some weight and the dress needed to be altered to go up a size. In the end it all worked out and I had my beautiful, pure silk QiPao just in time for my photoshoot. Everyone who saw me in the QiPao could not stop complimenting me on the day of my photoshoot and the day of my graduation. I had never felt more confident in clothing than putting on the QiPao. I am so grateful for this experience with Helen in designing a custom QiPao. Also, expect that basic QiPaos are a minimum of $500 and up. If you want embroidery, I was told that it will be a minimum of about $1,000+. Prices are due to change based on the economy of course. Helen also informed me that she can design other clothing besides QiPaos and I had even noticed some wedding dresses in her changing room. I will definitely go back to Helen when I get married to design another dress. She also informed me her busy season tends to be from Jan/Feb until end of August as that is when Lunar New Year and Wedding Season is, so expect a longer turn-around time during that period.
