Excellent service and extremely fair pricing. Brought in my stained wool suit and they were able to get it out without any issues. Already brought a bunch of stuff back, and i'm sure it will be taken care of. Highly recommended dry cleaning service. read more

Highly recommended this place for professional tailoring, alternation, and dry cleaning. Anna the owner was able to professionally dry clean my Pendleton wool Board Shirt and military press them. At first I was a bit worried cause pendleton board shirts aren't cheap. But She did an excellent job at making sure my Pendleton shirts are military pressed correctly, no evenness unlike the last place I went to which did a poor job. I no longer go anywhere else but here, Anna is the best !! I trust her with my beautiful Pendleton shirts, even my absolute favorite shirts. Anna is also able to fix any holes and stains your shirt may have. She did an excellent job patching the holes on one my shirts and tailored my sleeves to the right measurements to fit me better. Best of all she help me tailor my rare vintage 70s wool long coat to fit me perfectly, can't thank her enough she always has me looking Great( i get many compliments) . I always thank her and leave tips for her amazing work and effort to satisfied her customers. I guarantee you'll be satisfied with her work no matter if your drive is far. Also really appreciate that they're open on SundaysI work all weekdays and don't have enough time to make it and A lot of dry cleaning and tailoring spots aren't open on Sundays. I Make sure to call just in case because this is a small family business things happen. read more

Best place to go to get your things altered. I am what you called, semi short so I need majority of all my items fitted. She does great work and most importantly quickly. Because if you are like me when you get new things you want to wear them ASAP and not have to wait weeks for them to come back from the alterations. Parking is a bit tight but is to be expected, overall very good place. read more

Took several pairs of pants for hemming plus a travel pants that I hadn't worn for 20 years that was not too big and the elastic had worn out. Hems were nicely finished. Disappointed in elastic used for waistband. Had to replace elastic myself with a "non-roll" elastic. The one Kent used was folding over. The gentleman I dealt with did not speak English, or so I thought. The person I spoke with on the phone understood English and replied in good English. Prices were very reasonable. If you can get by without speaking, workmanship & price are worth putting up with. read more

I've been here 3 times to get pants and shorts altered. They do a really high quality job, very quick turnaround, and pricing is very fair. However I've had issues with their customer service/communication. The hours on Yelp are not accurate, currently they are open Tues-Saturday (according to the hours on their front door), but honestly I don't know because the hours seem to change week to week. I had one pick up on my ticket that told me to come in on a day that they were closed, so that was a little frustrating. Another instance I went to pick up during their normal hours and they had a hand written sign on their door saying "Sorry we are closed Thursday and Friday this week". I understand as a small business things come up, suppose I should have called to confirm they were open. Another time I went in to get shorts altered for $10, when I picked up I was told that anything less than $20 is cash only. I was not made aware of this when I originally dropped it off and I did not have cash on me. They did honor my price of $10 using my credit card which I appreciated. Long story short I would call them to make sure they're open whether you're dropping something off or picking something up. Like I mentioned, the quality of their work is A+ and pricing is great! read more

History

Established in 2006.

The tailoring business was established in 2006, built on garment craftsmanship passed down through a family with roots in the industry dating back to the 1980s. Early training in tailoring began at a young age, during a time when sewing machines were still manual, emphasizing precision, patience, and quality workmanship. In 1996, the family relocated to the United States and spent several years adapting to the local market while continuing to develop skills and experience in garment alteration and tailoring. After years of learning and persistence, the family was able to open their own tailor shop and begin serving the local community. As the original founders reached retirement age, the business transitioned in 2015 to continue operations under the next generation, preserving the family tradition and standards of craftsmanship. Today, the shop remains a small, family run business serving customers throughout Southern California, Orange County and the surrounding neighborhood.

Meet the Business Owner: Kent T.

Hi, I’m Kent, the owner of the tailor shop. I grew up around garment work and tailoring from a young age, learning the value of precision, patience, and pride in craftsmanship. Being part of a family rooted in the garment industry shaped how I approach this business and how I treat every customer who walks through our doors. As a family owned business, we believe in honesty, consistency, and doing quality work the right way. I am hands on with the daily operations and take pride in making sure every garment is treated with care, whether it is a simple alteration or an important piece for a special occasion. My goal is to continue the family tradition of reliable tailoring while serving our community with respect and dedication. We are grateful for the trust our customers place in us and work hard every day to earn it. Kent Owner

Inconsistent Pricing & Unprofessional Behavior Be sure to review your receipts carefully. On several occasions, I noticed discrepancies in the pricing, such as incorrect sizes or items listed that led to higher charges. I chose not to raise concerns at the time, but it became a pattern that was hard to ignore. Most recently, I inquired about having a casual midi dress custom-made. The initial quote was $300 and I decided to proceed. However, the price was later changed to $400, and I was told there would also be an additional $100 fee for expedited service, which is a total of $500. This lack of clear, consistent pricing made the process confusing and frustrating. During a fitting, I experienced unprofessional comments about my body that made me uncomfortable. As a long-time customer who has referred friends and family in the past, I was disappointed by how the service and professionalism have declined. The inconsistent pricing and dismissive tone have ultimately led us to look elsewhere for tailoring services. read more

Watch your wallet because they will try to rip you off. I've been coming to this tailor for years, but unfortunately their service has gone downhill. At first, everything was excellent, fair prices, and reliable work. But over time, they've become careless and even unprofessional. One time I paid cash and they never gave me back the change. I brushed it off, but now I see the pattern. More recently, when I brought garments in just for steaming, they regularly wrote down the wrong sizes so they could charge me more. This happened multiple times, I don't want to keep correcting people. They used to be a dependable tailor has turned into a place that cuts corners and takes advantage of loyal customers. Be careful bringing your business here, double check your receipts and your change, because they will try to squeeze more money out of you. read more

I bought 3 new suits at Hollywood Suits in Westminster, including the suit for my wedding. I was referred to Kent Tailoring by my Father-in-Law for the alterations. I had extensive changes done. Suit pants were hemmed and taken in both in the waist and in both legs. Coat was taken in around the waist as well as in the arms. I picked up my finished suit a week later. Pants fit perfect and we're very well done. I was worried about that since I had bought a 50R suit to fit my shoulders and the pants were what came with it.. Suit coat was taken in around the waist but still needed a slight adjustment. In a couple minutes she moved over the buttons on the front of the coat and it fit snugly all for no additional charge. Total cost in and out for $85. Thank you so much for helping me feel good in my wedding suit! read more

Don't trust them when they say they never had you as a customer. I have been a long time customer for this tailor but the lady owner is getting more suspicious with her pricing. I get a lot of my clothes hemmed here but the price slowly gets different every time despite it's the same materials. At first they were quick with services and fair with the prices, everything is upfront. Now sometimes I asked for the receipts and I caught some more adjustments on it so it's a bit more expensive. So disappointed that even the small business seems to be scamming now. I should've trusted the bad reviews about them. read more
