Great honest man who is an expert at his craft. I come here all the time for hemming for my pants (Cuts, Lulu, Bylt, etc) and the price is cheap and the hem is outstanding. I have also brought in suits before for weddings and he did a fantastic job. In summary, if you need a place with great prices and great quality in the area this is your place. read more

Ming always took great care of me, had fair prices, and did quality work. I hope you have a wonderful retirement, Ming. Enjoy many walks with your wife, I wish you the best!! read more

I needed two dresses hemmed within a week for a wedding, and Ming came through! He told me the time to come in, and he had them all ready for me then. Prices are very fair. Remember it is cash only! read more

Ming and his wife are amazing! I highly recommend and I would go down there all the time if it were not for the farmers market where his store is located! There was a parking structure around the corner. He is an exceptional Taylor and does wonderful work! read more

They have done alterations and repair work for me. Great value and next day service. Love it!

I stumbled upon L & A tailoring with the goal of finding a good tailor that didn't break the bank and had a good turn around time. I'm glad to report that this place met all three criteria. I needed a new suit altered within a week and he delivered perfectly. The price was very fair and good value and not overpriced. One of the best things about L & A tailoring is their hours being open until 7PM. That means you can come drop off or pickup your clothes even after a 8-5 work day. Overall this place has friendly service, quick and promised turnaround time, and won't break the bank if you're looking for a tailor. read more

Worked so fast and the was quality work. Would recommend if anyone needed something tailored

I've gone here a few times throughout the years for minor alterations and feel ambivalent about the service. I would go somewhere else if I had more time for these kinds of errands. Pros: very convenient location and hours such that I can stop by after work or on Saturdays. I live in NP and there aren't many other options nearby. Cons: disorganized and lacks attention to detail. I have had issues more often than not. For example, I'd asked for a bridesmaid dress to be shortened from floor length to cocktail length, and I asked to keep the extra fabric (for a wedding-related project) but the shop did not reserve the fabric for me. Then, I'd dropped off a pair of pants for hemming and to patch a small tear. The pants were not ready when I went to pick up, and when I came back, they had not patched the tear. Most recently, I needed a pair of jeans hemmed. The right leg came back about a half inch shorter than the left, which doesn't seem like a lot but they are wide-legged pants and so one leg perfectly skims the ground while the other skims the top of my shoe. FYI: a hem job cost $20 and it's cash only! read more

The owner is super kind and great at what she does. You can easily walk in and drop off your items. There is a quick turnaround time. Great value as well. read more

I had my prom dress and a summer dress tailored here. The quality was average but was overpriced and not worth it.

Best tailor around. We have brought in dresses, suits and pants for alterations and been very happy.

I was in a bind and needed next day alterations for a suit. They were able to get my pants hemmed and adjusted for the next day and did an awesome job. I was in and out within minutes both times and he was really friendly. read more

I took in one of my uniform pieces into L & A to stitch up a hole in the seam. They did a thorough job of identifying any other weak seams throughout the item and it was ready in a few days. Cost $18, cash only. Only issue is they do not print official itemized receipts and given this was a work uniform, I wanted to expense the cost and the receipt caused some issues because there was no business heading or information. read more

Had a pair of pants altered here and the man who I believe owns the store got my measurements right. Now they fit perfect! Thank you for the smooth transaction :) Really meant to go to this place to help out a small business. The gentleman's customer service is read more

I had to get a bridesmaid dress altered off the length. I came in on a Thursday, and he said he could get it to me by next Wednesday. They only take cash so it was ~50 for that work. I'm not familiar with pricing, but that's what he quoted me! I came back on the Thursday after the Wednesday he told me to come, and he wasn't ready yet. He said if I could come later that night he would have it done, but I didn't want him to push himself so much! So I said I would come the next day. He did have it ready on the Friday I came back. I will come back to try again if I need any alterations. Very sweet man, looks like it's just him! read more

Very fast and high quality work. I had a suit jacket and 3 dress pants tailored. The price was very fair (120$) for everything and was ready to be picked up in 3 days. I walked in and put on the suit and he recommended what needed to be done and quoted me read more

Friendly, quality service, and fast! I had a pair of pants hemmed and they turned out great.

Needed alterations for a work conference, they did a great job and quick ! Reasonable prices too! Thank you

Professional and polite! The service was completed very quickly. I asked for my dress to be tailored at the straps because it was too long and when I received it back, it was exactly how I asked! I never got a phone call when the dress was done however, so I needed to come back on a guess!! Other than that, quick and easy service and would recommend this spot for anyone who needs to get their tailoring job done! read more

Cash only. Excellent prices. Excellent service. They were able to tailor my $300 Japanese raw denim and keep the selvedge. Fantastic business. read more

Dress Hemming - I was in a bind and needed same day alterations for my dress. He was able to get my dress hemmed and adjusted for the same day, I was in and out within minutes both times and he was very friendly. read more

I came into L&A knowing the service would be quick, but meticulous. I dropped off my dress about a week prior to the event date and Minh let me know it would be done even before then. Minh did a perfect job in hemming the dress and the total was only $35. I highly recommend L&A for your alteration needs! read more

I'm only 4'10" soEVERYTHING needs shortening. We may bed to this area almost 19 years ago and I have always had my pants shortened here. This past week a sibling of mine passed away and we needed to leave less than 48 hours later to travel. I called (on the day he was closed) and he came in with my old work slacks I haven't worn since I retired 6 years ago. The next day it was raining and I couldn't find parking. I called to find out how late he'd be open so I could make arrangements for a ride and he told me to pull right up in fro t of the door. He ran out with my adjusted slacks and I made sure he got a great tip. Thank you, L&S Tailoring. read more

Very fair prices and they are able to accommodate last minute alteration requests. I've gone twice now for week of wedding bridesmaid dress alterations and their pricing has been very fair ($65 for a hem) and work has been on time despite been last minute. read more

My friends recently recommended Minh at L&A, and I've already had him tailor half my wardrobe! He shortened alllll my jeans to the proper ankle length, so I no longer have to tuck them under. And the most amazing clothes that he tailored for me are my ski bib and ski jacket -- he shortened the pant legs on the ski bib, and the sleeves on the jacket. It's like having custom-made ski clothes! Now I just need to work on those blue-level ski runs... read more

I brought a two piece outfit here to get altered (the pants needed hemming and the top needed to be taken in). I was running out of time and requested a quick turnaround, one I was assured they could meet! The alterations were perfect and so prompt. The owner and his wife were also very kind and a pleasure to give business to. The price was also very fair, especially considering my rush! I will definitely be back. read more

I had to get the zipper on my favorite jeans fixed like ASAP! I was surprised that they were able to fix it for me within an hour even though they were very busy. Great customer service and very affordable. read more

Happy with my US Women's World Cup Jersey. Had my patch put on just in time for the quarterfinal match. read more

L & A Tailoring - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Diego, California

A friend of mine said he is the best tailor in San Diego and I took his word for it. I have since had five of my nice daily wear suits tailored here. He does a great job on the tailoring and a bonus is he tells a nice story. Ask who he has tailored for and when he got started. I have not had any issues and my suits fit great. He is an expert. Bottom line: Good tailors are hard to find. I'll keep coming back. read more

I've been coming here for years and love the work he does. He turned me away once because I wanted to replicate a pretty detailed stitching on a delicate garment. I appreciate his honesty/integrity and trust him to hem and tailor my clothes with little guidance from me. read more

My items were finished professionally, on time as promised, and exactly as measured. Very friendly and helpful. I would absolutely trust my most expensive items to them, and feel sure they would come out perfect. read more

The buttons of two pairs of shorts had mysteriously popped off...either it was just time or they couldn't handle the stress of my growing waist. I gotta stop eating out and exercise more. Came in since I live close. Minh was there and said it would cost $5 for both. Wrote up a ticket and as I was walking out said, "I make them strong for you." Picked them up the next day and I'd have to say that yes, they are sewn on pretty strong. His wife was there and they are both very nice. I asked if he tailored suits, and they said yes, but I need to lose some weight before I cross that bridge. read more

Tailoring was fine, but there was a roach in my garment bag when i got it back. It defecated on and stained my wedding dress. Owner denies the roach came from his shop and did not offer to dry clean the dress. I have never (and have not since) had roaches in my home--it didn't come from my place. Beware. read more

I have been coming here for years! Always makes me look great, cuts are clean and professional. I send all of my baggy suit wearing buddies here. read more

I had a pair of shorts hemmed. 2 day turnaround and he even relocated the logo. Very nice gentleman.

I had the seams on a jacket repaired. He did good work but was slow, and he seemed a bit disorganized; he was hunting around all over for clothing belonging to the customer in front of me. He seems to try hard and he's a nice guy from what I can tell, but I'm not really sure I'd come here again, at least for simple things like the work I had done. Maybe he's worth using for more complex things. read more

Dropped off a pair of jeans to get the zipper fixed. He had them for three weeks and didn't do anything with it even though he said it would only take one week. It was only when I came in to find out what was going on that he told me he needs to buy a zipper. It's just a pair of jeans so I obviously don't need them super urgently, but the fact that he had them for so long and didn't do anything is mind boggling. The least he could have done is call me and ask if I want to wait for him to buy the zipper. Or, don't tell me you can do it and will get it done in a week when you don't even have the right materials. Got the feeling that if I had never gone in to check he would have just kept them forever. FYI it was going to be $20 just to get the zipper fixed. Decided to take the pants back and get it fixed elsewhere. read more

Amazing! They were honest and so helpful. They tailored two blouses and three pairs of jeans for me in a week. Very kind throughout the whole process. read more

I had a pair of my fav overalls taken here to be hemmed to my size. Very quick and looks amazing. He took a lot of time getting the correct measurements. Great price read more

Had my suit altered here, he was unsure if he could do it because of how much material was left in the suit, but it was ready two days early and fit perfectly. read more
