    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

    We used La Brea Cleaners as our main place to get laundry done, and before they were very inconsistent with how long it took. Sometimes it would be several days, and other times they told me it took over a week. I also had a specific request about what to do with the laundry (I just wanted it to not touch the clean cloths) and it was honored 2/3's of the time. Most recent batch of laundry had dirt and stains all over and I think we'll probably not come back here. I'm very disappointed with the quality. Feels like it was poorly done and we had to wait a week to get it.

    new holes and snags on blazer
    Yummy D.

    UPDATE: Originally left 2 stars for snagging/putting holes in my vintage clothing, then blaming, lying and gaslighting me. Business co-owner reached out two times to offer repair of the relationship/service. They offered me $100 credit + written apology posted to Yelp. Apology was never posted, I haven't been in to claim the supposed credit. I will definitely be going back to Manhattan Cleaners in Ktown; even though it's farther away, they are sweet, do a great job and honest people.

    Had this dress brought in to be taken in on the sides and the tailor did a wonderful job! Only took him one week!

Strong points for thorough cleaning of the three dress shirts I got dry cleaned here with a quick turnaround. Pricing is reasonable/affordable compared to other local options, with good value for the quality. Based on the reviews I had figured it's a go-to spot for locals. Convenient corner location, Whitsett & Chandler, with plenty parking available. Straightforward, clean storefront with friendly, professional service.
