She's located in Chinatown on the second floor of the Lee & Young building, fronting N King St (just after Maunakea St if you're headed east/diamond head). There is a code to get in, but if you call/text her ahead of time, she will let you know what it is. Reasonable pricing and a turnaround of no longer than a week for hemming, not sure about other items but shes really good about texting you when your items are ready.

She has helped me with hemming numerous pairs of pants and even has helped me with more complicated tasks like shortening the back yoke on some jeans (it's not easy being thicc). My coworker also recently took some snow pants to be altered, and he was impressed with the quality of Nori's work. This shop is located behind a secured glass door, on the second floor of a building on King Street. I recommend calling ahead to make sure you can get in. I usually street park on either Maunakea or Smith. I know street parking isn't the best, but believe me, this shop is worth it.

Growing up as the "baby of the family," I was happy that my mother taught my siblings and me life…read moreskills like cooking, managing finances and household maintenance, and sewing. I held onto my Husqvarna Viking mechanical sewing machine, which I got for myself during my early teens, until after COVID-19 and only used it for general home sewing and for making filter-cloth face masks for family use. However, a couple of years ago, I turned in my "vintage" sewing machine since I rarely used it, but at least managed to hand-stitch whatever patching or button replacement on either my husband's clothes or mine. However, because most of our clothes are made from stretchy materials, I needed to find either a sewist or a tailor who has a serger sewing machine, which is used to create stretchy seams or overcast fabric edges to prevent fraying, after discovering holes in mis-stitched seams in a couple of recently purchased garments. I knew that even if I had kept my sewing machine, I would not be able to finish seams on stretchy fabrics and was too lazy to process returns to the retailer for such minor repairs, so I decided to take my garments into nearby Crossroads Fashions Alterations. We parked in one of the stalls in front of the businesses in this building and strode into the shop, where we were immediately greeted by the affable sewist/owner. We signed into her daily DROP OFF Log as we brought out the garments to show her the re-stitching needed. The sewist/owner remarked on the high-quality knit of the garments' material and confidently assured me that she would not only mend the mis-stitched areas but also reinforce the entire seam in question. Also, she showed us that she had matching thread colors on hand. After she quoted us a very affordable price for the repair work and scheduled a week-later pickup date, I told her I wasn't in a rush, so the one-week time frame was fine. We returned a week later, signed into this business' PICK UP Log while identifying ourselves with the claim slip. She brought out our garments and allowed us to "inspect" her work, which we deemed excellent and could not even tell where repairs were done. The cost for repair was very affordable, and the one-week pick-up time was reasonable. I would not hesitate to return to Crossroad Fashions Alterations for any garment mending or alterations in the future.

There was one time where she was honest and said one blazer fit quite well, she pinned what she could do and said it would not be very noticeable and she was right! Basically turned away business (she is very busy and not like she needs it). But her honesty and good eye for fitting clothes just right is why I kept going back. Parking is tough, be ready to go in and out.

Linh's Alterations was highly recommended, so let's give it a try! I knew where this place was as it has been at the same location along Ke'eaumoku St, between Kinau and Beretania and next to Mai Lan Vietnamese restaurant for decades! There's dedicated parking stalls on the side of the building, in the same lot as the Texaco gas station. Look for the Keeaumoku Pawn / Linh's Alteration sign. It's the same place! But it's definitely more so an alteration place than pawn shop. My wife has been here several times for repairs and alterations. This time I needed repairs! One of my newer Aloha Shirts had a seam splitting after just two washes, and it was all sold out at stores and online, so I wasn't able to exchange! The inside was clean and spacious. Linh was very friendly, nice, and an excellent listener. She definitely has very sharp eyes. Also, she is quite efficient! My shirt was finished in just a couple of days. Shirt was clean, neatly folded, and stitched very nicely. It was $15 plus tax, which was definitely reasonable. It wasn't a big area and it might've been a "simple" fix. Overall, I was happy with my shirt and the whole process, and will definitely bring any clothes that need repairs or alterations to Linh's! It's not a surprise she is contracted and trusted by several high to mid luxury brands. Location is convenient and parking is free and available.

I always come to Linh's for pant hemming. I'm short and don't have a sewing machine anymore, but…read moreeven when I did, Linh's still did a better job. The hems are clean, consistent, and exactly how I want them every time. Helpful tip: if you already know your inseam (and it's accurate), checkout goes much faster. Turnaround is quick too. My alterations are usually ready within a couple of days. I've been in when they're busy with things like prom dress alterations, so they clearly handle a wide range of alterations. Parking can be tricky, but I've been lucky so far, knock on wood. Will definitely keep coming back.

Buwahahahahahaha! Before Covid-19 I used to go to this place called - "Sheridan Laundry" on Young Street (MAHALO Bruddah Peter Y. fo' da hook up about Sheridan Laundry) to get my pants altered. The nice Korean lady who worked at Sheridan Laundry was very good at her craft, and her prices for alterations were very reasonable. Unfortunately during Covid-19 her business tanked, and she no longer does alterations. From there, I found another alteration business on Pensacola Street, but the prices that the lady changes to alter a pair of pants slowly crept up to $14.00. Yikes! Thanks to my Yelp buddy - Jo C., for posting her AWESOME review of - "777 Fashion & Alterations" in Chinatown. Wanna know what da BESTEST part about this business?

I brought a brand new bridesmaid dress -- literally took it out of the package in the shop -- for a simple hem and to be taken in slightly at the sides. I was charged $130, which felt completely unreasonable for the minor work done, especially after talking to the friend who referred me here who had a denim jumpsuit altered in several places for $50. When I picked up my dress, it had pulls in the fabric and was hung by a delicate off-shoulder strap, causing it to stretch and start to tear. Completely careless handling. Pricing here seems inconsistent at best, and I couldn't help but feel that I was overcharged unfairly compared to others I personally know. Pricing is inconsistent and questionable. Zero attention to detail. Look elsewhere
