It was Mr. Kim's idea to make the slip shorter than the lace overlay because he is a GENIUS.
Daphne R.

I have avoided posting this review for a very long time. I would rather gatekeep. This is my secret drycleaning spot, Mr. Kim is my tailor, etc. Unfortunately, there are low reviews that are so outside the scope of my almost monthly (if not bi-weekly) visits. I have to say something. Service: Friendly and careful. They always make sure they understand what I need. If it's not super speedy, the customers are mainly to blame. I know I take a minute explaining things. Cost: By far, the most reasonable prices I've come across and I live walking distance from at least four dry cleaning spots. Most things are at LEAST half the price of other places. Tailoring: Mr. Kim is the main reason I'm addicting to getting almost every article of my clothing tailored. I exclusively shop at thrift stores and this is how I justify this expense. He's respectful, efficient, and never makes me feel weird for wanting everything shorter and tighter. There's a bit of a language barrier, but this is just another reason to learn some Korean. My advice is that you walk in rather than ask for a quote over the phone or through Yelp. Even if you're an hour away, they're likely much less expensive than your local options. You also have to communicate what you need clearly. If there are stains or spots that you're extra concerned about, point them out! In conclusion, I'm a regular and I'll continue to be a regular. I recommend them very highly.

Damaged leather coat
Mikey W.

My wife and I came in this morning around 10 am to get her leather coat's sleeves shortened. Shockingly, Mr. Kim put a safety pin on her sleeve instead of marking it. It was horrifying to watch him damage beautiful genuine leather like that. He said it was to mark the stitch but the stitch should've been hidden under her sleeve anyways. The front guy Henry watched the whole thing happen and felt awful. Such an unfortunate, careless interaction. We immediately left with a damaged leather coat :( Never ever trust a tailor that pins leather to mark. Needless to say, we're never coming back

See all

Downtown

Went down a rabbit hole reading about toxic chemicals and decided to get my gown cleaned before an…read moreevent. Found this place and made the trek over. I went on a Tuesday and was told Friday initially but was able to get a turn around or Thursday. Place is clean, staff is friendly. They're paperless. I had my receipt in my email. I got a text when my dress was ready Thursday, as well as an email. I got 20% off as a new customer. Very happy w the service. I REALLY wish there was another location closer to Pasadena. I try to limit dtla, but next time I need something cleaned, barring closer location, I'll be back!

These people are the absolute WORST. They have continuously added random charges to our bill even…read moreafter giving them hundreds of dollars for delivery and pickup for our dry cleaning and fluff and fold services. Now they have "accidentally" charged us DOUBLE the amount for our bill. They were clearly able to attempt to charge our card (3x) for the correct amount of $101.77 and then suddenly after giving them a different card they charged us DOUBLE the amount for $203.54!! The worst part? I had to call them back after giving them the correct CC over the phone, to alert them they charged the amount. Then the woman tells me "oh yeah, sorry, I accidentally charged double but it will fall off" (completely nonchalantly) ...what on earth!? How is this acceptable? These people will tell you one delivery fee, then charge another on a completely different order. They don't respond to emails, they have no online system for putting in orders, and now they will blindly charge you double the amount of money you are owed and not inform you of said charges. They are only open weird hours (11am?!) so good luck calling them in the morning to place an order. See my screenshots for proof! Shady business, shady people, I do NOT recommend and we will no longer be using their services. I will be contesting the charge in full (no money has fallen off to date, and I doubt it will).
