Let me tell you about this funny, delightful little woman, Kim. I recently wore out my credit card at a men's store Going Out of Business sale and brought several pairs of slacks to her shop in mid-December to have cuffs done. "When you need them back?" she asked suspiciously. "I'm in no hurry," I replied. "After the first of the year?" "OK," she said. "Just so you don't want them before Christmas. Everybody want before Christmas!" I took my receipt, went home and thought no more about it. The NEXT WEEK, I get a call saying all my pants were ready. "How can this be?" I asked, incredulously. "I thought you were swamped." "I see pants. I thought you should have for New Year's Eve," she said. They were hemmed expertly, and woefully underpriced. (I gave her a big Christmas tip!) I would recommend Kim without hesitation to anyone looking for a caring, professional tailoring job. read more

I highly recommend Kim's for any military uniforms! Recently, I brought in 4 blouses that needed chevrons swapped out and Kim's had them completed for me in a week, and even gave me back my old chevrons. The attention to detail and care that is given is amazing, I am going to continue to return! read more

Ms Kim is the real deal when it comes to alterations. She took my way to big suit jacket and made it look like I bought it from a mens store. I told her I needed it in a month and she had it done in two weeks. I couldn't believe the low cost for all the seams that had to be taken out and re-sewn. I had my military uniforms tailored for 20 years, and Ms Kim is as good as it gets. read more

Kim only takes cash and works alone. She is the sweetest ever. I walked in and she asked me, "when do you need it back?" "Whenever," I said. She informed me that "whenever" to her translates to months... years... so I said, "um...as soon as you can have it done, then?" She told me two weeks and sweetly explained that she is the only one who works in the shop. She told me a couple of funny anecdotes about other people who had told her to "take as long as you need." Only four days later, I got a voicemail from Kim saying that she had finished my skirt. I mean, I had to listen to the voicemail four times before I knew who was calling me and what they were saying... but when I DID figure out it was Kim, I was impressed that my skirt was done much earlier than she had originally stated. I highly recommend Kim. What a neat lady! read more

I REALLY hate writing a bad review-- I am totally not the type of person to use yelp just for bad reviews (check my page). However, I do need to warn people about the service at Kim's. I usually go to someone else, but with Kim's excellent 5 star rating, I decided to try it out. So here it goes: Around the end of March, I dropped off a dress (minor change in hemline), a blouse (small tear in seam), a sweater (sew up pockets), and later a blouse with a run in it. All small alternations and nothing crazy. She asked when I needed them and I said I was flexible. So she responded, 1 week. Great not a big issue. Two weeks later (due to traveling), I went to pick up my stuff. Nothing had been done. At that moment I should have asked for it back, but I wanted to be nice. She said another week. Again, TWO WEEKS LATER (now a month has gone by), I go to the store to pick up my things and they were STILL NOT DONE. I wanted to ask for them back, but they were a work in progress. She said she had to stop working on them, because another guy yelled at her on the phone to finish his pants-- so me thinks that time is a total issue here. To top it off, I am still being fully charged for my stuff. So, one week has turned into one month. read more

Kim is a very sweet lady. She only accepts cash as of right now. Her work is great! Altering clothes is a very time consuming and patient task, so sometimes there can be mishaps. I recently picked up a premium DKNY suit. I do have a muscular build, so finding dress clothes can be a hassle sometimes. I took my suit to her to get altered and I have loved the results that I got back. It's like the suit was specifically made for me. Everything from the fitment, to the length was perfect. I highly recommend trying out her alterations if you need something done. Highly recommend! read more

If I could give her 20 stars I would. I have used her business for years and have never had any, not even one issue! Her customer service is fantastic, she is so sweet and helpful. Her skills have been perfect, and so appreciated! If anyone asks for referrals, I always send them to Kim's. I am actually on my way there to pick up my clothes. If anyone needs sewing, alterations done, I fully recommend Kim's!! read more

I had a brand new suit I had bought for an upcoming wedding that I need to have altered. I had no clue where to go. Kim's Alterations was the closest to my home and had a few positive reviews. So incredibly happy I chose to give her a chance. Not only was she very very nice and outgoing, she has a true understanding of what she does. She listened to every concern I had and gave good feedback. She also understood exactly what I wanted to get done and had a few recommendations of her own. In the end I only had the pants hemmed and slightly altered, as the jacket fit quite well. Her price was very fair and she was also very accommodating to my time constraints. Her work looks fantastic and by all indications will hold up for a long time. It is very important to me to have high quality alterations, by keeping it to a one man operation, she insures that she can pay close attention to each detail and is accountable for any mistakes. I don't think I'll be using anyone other than Kim's Alterations from now on. I can't tell you how pleased I am with her and her work. read more

Amazingly friendly lady, and talented to boot. She did a sewing job that was quite intricate, and where the other top alteration shop in town had turned me down (they said it couldn't be done). This lady did it with a smile and without hesitation. Very amiable to talk to. read more

I took in a pair of raw denim jeans to have them hemmed, as a test run, to make sure they wouldn't destroy my favorite pair. Everything went fine, but on my second trip I wasn't so lucky. My second trip, I took them two pairs of raw jeans to have hemmed and they creased both pairs up to about 6 inches from the bottom. One of them came back with rather large distance from the hem to the stitching and the selvedge lines were squished together on the inside. They effectively destroyed about $400 worth of jeans. Do not expect repeat visits to run as smoothly as new customer visits. *I'm editing this to add another star because no irreversible damage was done to my pants. I managed to fix everything with an iron and some patience. I probably wouldn't worry much about bringing traditional menswear in for alterations. Still not particularly impressed. read more

Kim was kind enough to pick up the phone on a Sunday, the day before my son's Commissioning ceremony. The original tailor did not complete the job and Kim took it on and did a wonderful job of adding the cuff bands and shoulder board tabs to his dress uniform. Highly recommended for the great work and for her helpfulness in getting us through our crisis. read more

I was very satisfied with my results and I highly recommend going here. I had a lot of suit pants to alter as I found my old ones were too big for me and I had an interview coming up. She gave advice on where to hem the pants and I was extremely happy with the finished result - the absolute right length and very neat work! No one could tell they had been touched. Kim is also very friendly. I saw a few customers come in as well that seemed to know her on a personal level, meaning they are repeat customers. Kim knows what she is doing, I will be making return trips. read more

My one sentence summary is that this is one of the most trustworthy tailors in town! Kim runs this shop by herself with the occasional help from her husband (when he gets off work). When I was new to town, I tried about four different alteration shops and found Kim to be the most meticulous and reliable tailor in town. Her cuts are always clean, precise, and the stitch work impeccable. Unlike most other shops that hire several mediocre workers to meet the demands of increasing customers, Kim has no intentions of sacrificing the quality of her work and personal relationships with customers. Needless to say, she takes her time with the alteration work (she usually asks for about a week if it's not urgent), and this can be the downside if you would rather get it in a few days. Other shops in town like Yong's and Noy Tailoring employ sufficient workers to get things done quicker, but I've had a few disappointing experiences with them: their stitch work is sloppy; sometimes they completely misunderstand my instructions; and it's apparent most the time they were more focused on getting it done quickly. At these shops that employ other workers, there often seems to be serious communication problems between the owner who takes the instruction from the customer and the worker who takes over the work. Also, the quality of work as I already mentioned is mediocre at best. For example, I've had a few $125 dress shirts taken in asymmetrically, and polo shirts shortened with the folded cuffs left un-stitched and threads hanging out. If you want a tailor who takes the time to get to know you, listen to you, and actually does the work accurately the way you asked them to, Kim's Alterations is the best place in town. She will work with you until she gets it right. However, one thing to note is that because she works alone with a considerable amount of work coming in everyday, she will turn away some of the more difficult and lengthy alterations like fixing shoulders of men's suits (you should not be buying suits with ill-fitting shoulders anyway). Kim's prices are also one of the lowest in town - so low for the quality of her work that I've been telling her to raise her rates! Despite demands from THE CUSTOMER to charge more, she still keeps it the same, so I always tip her when I'm happy with her work (99% of the time). If you're new to town and care about getting someone meticulous to do the alteration work, Kim is the tailor you want to go to! But just so you know, she only takes cash or check. Still, I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Kim is a very competent and affordable tailor. I've had her hem pants and adjust the sleeve length on a suit jacket for me. Both alterations were a success. read more
