This place is great! Very affordable and they do a good job. I can say anytime I have brought in something to be altered it was always ready when they said! The man I always speak to (I am assuming he is Mike... not sure) is always very nice. I also got my co-workers to start going here and they were pleased with their alternations as well. Just remember though... cash only! I'm fine with since his prices are so reasonable. read more

Had a few things hemmed there. First it was fine but then they lost one of my tops and offered no compensation of any sort. It was cheap so I let it slide. After they unevenly hemmed my pants and made a whole in them I stopped going there. read more

Im so upset I came here. I asked them to do 4 things. Nothing was done properly or carefully. They lost the extra fabric I gave them and tried to tell me I never gave it to them in the first place. Just lying to my face. The replacement zipper they installed looked so bad, I was shocked. They did not charge me thankfully. read more

Best tailor and dry cleaner in the area. Very fast service and extremely helpful. Prices are good too read more

Quick and accurate. Have been taking my clothes for alterations to Mike's since moving to LA in 2012. Never disappoints.

They're always quick and they do an excellent job-- Will I go back? OF COURSE! I've gone to Mike's for many years-- they used to be in another location. I think part of the idea is-- you buy something in the garment district and you take it in for alterations. But they're also really great for alterations-- hemming, tailoring, making smaller, larger, etc. I'm usually running in last minute before a trip or an event, and say "I'm leaving town early next week? Any chance I can still get this done?" They most graciously accommodate. And, as many have said, they are very sweet people. read more

I rarely need to use a dry cleaners but mike was very nice and professional and punctual.

Always does a good job, been going here for years. Not a fancy place and it seems like they are going to lose my clothes, but he never does- he knows exactly where they always are. Good workmanship and a good price. read more

Very sweet people! I will go back if I need another alteration! They were a little delayed in their timing but really rushed to stay on my schedule and I appreciate how much they cared. My skirt turned out wonderful! read more

They were really affordable and accommodated my last minute dress tailoring. i dropped it off on a thursday and picked it up friday by 1pm :) read more

They are very professional, fast service, and super affordable. I got 3 shirts hemmed and only waited 3 hours! I will be coming again soon.

LIARS and THIEVES. I took in a skirt here to have hemmed and zipper replaced. First, they tell me it'd be ready on Tuesday. I get there Wednesday and it's still not ready. So, I had to return later at the end of the day. Picked it up and they did not replace the zipper yet charged me for it. I hate people read more

So apparently there are 2 different Mike's Tailor shops within half a mile from each other. I'm not sure which one I was trying to get to but I stumbled upon this one when trying to get to them. The man who helped me out was very efficient and moved very fast getting all my pants pinned to the perfect length. I gave them 4 pairs of pants and they were done within an hour. At $4 a pant, I'm coming here for all my hemming needs from now on! read more

I have been going to this shop since 2001 because they are cheap and they follow instructions. They specialize in, in my opinion, trimming andhemming pants. To have your pants cut and hemmed, it's only $4! It used to be $3 back in 2001 but times are achanging! You can have those fancy "keep-the-original-hem" things going on too... for a low low price of $8. That is super cheap dude! I found out what a real good deal this place really is after I went to their old address, 821 S. Main, and found out that they were gone. I quickly checked yelp for other tailor shops in the valley (where I'm based) and the cheapest one charges $8 for the plainest of trimming and hemming! With a heavy heart, I tried to make my way across the street to this sign that says "Philip's Tailor Shop" and found out when I got out of the car that Mike's moved across the street and right beside this other tailor shop. Yey!! I thought I lost you man! Don't ever leave me again! New Address: 808 S Main read more

I have been going to this place for 10 yrs! Used to charge $3 to hem a pair of pants. Now it's $4. Still a bargain. He hems it so that it looks like the original hemming using the same thread. If you have those designer jeans, he will even sand it down so that it will look exactly as original. It will usually take him a couple of days to do the job depending on how many items you drop off. Tuesday i dropped off 7 pants and he said it will be ready Thursday after 1pm. I have also waited on a few occasions. It only took like 1 hr and meanwhile i went to lunch. :) *inexpensive, fast, professional work & very friendly. read more

I always come here to get my clothes tailored. They're so kind and do great work. And they're open on Saturday's despite the hours listed.

Great prices, reliable, on time, honest... I've taken multiple articles of clothing to dry clean, cut and resize. Every piece came back tailored to my dimensions. For dry cleaning it's perfect, I'm someone who is careful when wearing my clothes so cleaning them is not a fuss so mikes tailor prices I love the most in dry cleaning, I would say as well great prices for cutting and sewing. read more

Took some board shorts that were too long to get hemmed up and specifically told them to make the cut above the logo towards the bottom of the short and to also shorten the pocket on the other side as it would now be too long and hang out. They told me I could come pick it up after one day and when I did, not only was the pocket not adjusted, but the logo that I specifically had asked the cut to be above is still partly showing as they actually made the cut in the middle of it. They asked me to come back the next day but I went ahead and paid for the poor job because they obviously cannot competently do anything right the first time. I thought hemming some shorts would be an easy straightforward job but this shop has proved that to be wrong. I am taking these shorts to another tailor and I would not recommend these people if you want something done right. read more

Mike's Tailor Shop - Great work and excellent service! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have been a long time customer for many years. Mike's tailor shop is very reliable and outstanding service and prices. They alter all of my suits and jeans. Their work is second to none and friendly staff. read more

I brought my clothes here two times and they would always fix it right up perfectly every single time. Highly recommend!

Great customer service. Good quality work. However, he only accepts cash. There is an ATM nearby but it does cause a bit of a hassle.

I dont know Mike, but he's got a great gig going on. I took a pair of jeans in that I paid WAY too much for to begin with (Now, I can't help I was born with "daikon legs") it was only $3 - done in a day and the threading perfectly matched. It was like I bought the jeans that way. Parking can be difficult... stay to the left side of street - drive slow - theres a loading zone. read more

It was my first time going to Mike's - I bought a Halloween costume in Santee Alley and looked for a Tailor Shop on my way home because I needed it altered in ONE DAY. The service was fast and reliable and it only cost me $20. My boyfriend and I decided we would definitely be going back here next time we need anything tailored! read more

This place is right around the corner from my office and it's the best! I was going to another tailor closer but the prices were so much higher. I can get two pairs of pants hemmed (one with original hem) for $15. Sometimes it's two days but sometimes next day ready! read more

I wouldn't recommend this place. I thought I would give this place a shot because some of the reviews were positive. I called Mike to see how long a hem on pants would take. He told me one day. I brought my jumpsuit in and I told him if I could pick it up the next day at 8am. He told me it was fine and it should be ready. When I go to pick it up, they couldn't even find my item and I see it on the side counter. It's not even hung up OR ready.. Especially with the crazy parking, I didn't want to come back to pick it up. I won't be going back. read more

This is hands down, the most sketchiest, and unprofessional place of business I have ever encountered! I've been going to tailor shop's for basic alternations for over 25 years and this place by the worst of the worst!!! I came in for a basic alteration with a dress and was told by Mike to come back in 3 days and it would be finished. I came back and it wasn't finished, so Mike told me to come back 3 days later again. I came back 3 days later again and it still wasn't finished, so Mike told me to come next week. So I came back the following week, I finally picked up the dress, paid for it, brought it home, unwrapped it out of the plastic, only to find that my dress was butchered. I found up to 14 holes all over the dress in random locations. It was unbelievable!!! This dress was just purchased and I came in for a basic alteration and was left with a dress that looked like swiss cheese! And it doesn't stop there... I called him up, so Mike told me to bring the dress back. I went through the entire dress with him and pointed out all the holes. He didn't even apologize and said to come back in 3 days. Ironically enough, I came back in 3 days and inspected the dress in front of him and the holes had not been repaired. So Mike said come in 3 days again. What a surprise, I came back and holes had still not been repaired and I had to continue to point out all the holes in the dress. This ridiculous charade went on for over a month! That's right, a month!!! By the last day, to pick up the dress, can you guess what happened?? Big shocker, the holes are still there!!! Mike told me to wait 10 minutes to repair each one. As I waited, a woman came to pick up a white bridal dress from Mike, she tried her dress on in the fitting room, came back out with it, and told Mike, "what happened to my dress?" She began to point out all the flaws in to him and I just shook my head and laughed. Mike told her, come back tomorrow. She said,"Tomorrow, I've waited so long already?"Of course, Mike said nothing her, like the professional that he is. I told her, "yeah, good luck, I've been waited for over a month for a perfectly fine dress that he put 14 holes in." Needless to say, she was pretty shocked and upset. I highly recommend no one go near this so-called establishment with anything of value! Beware!!! This is a butcher shop, not an alternation shop!!! read more

Ugh....I had been taking jeans and pants to Mike's for over a year and they had always came back great. I took a dress there on a Friday afternoon and they said it would be ready the next Wednesday at 2pm. Even wrote it on the receipt. I got there on Wednesday at 4:30, and my dress was hanging on the rack still untouched! He said, 30 more minutes, but hell, I'm parked illegally, I can't wait 30 minutes! Especially since they were supposed to be done 2.5 hours ago! Really upsetting because I left work early to pick them up. Yes its dirt cheap to get things altered, but still if you give a time, just have it ready by then! Why is that so hard??? read more

I took a maxi dress to be shortened and I do not understand why it costs $10 when a dress is easier to hem than pants! Mike told me to come back in an hour and I came back 1 1/2 hours later and they had not even started on my dress yet! He told me to wait 10 more minutes. So if my dress takes only 10 minutes, does it mean it's $1/minute to hem my dress? I also did not have 10 minutes. I had a train to catch but I had no choice but to wait and be late to my next appointment. I'm never coming back here again. What a rip off. read more

Needed a seamstress ASAP and needed my uniform today! YELP to the rescue! I called Mike and asked for a quote and if the work could most importantly be done today! Without hesitation, he replied "of course" WWord is bond, tailoring was on point and for that I give this place 5-star!!! read more

I'm giving Mike's twos to offset the high reviews by others as that is what initially led me to Mike's. Parking's not so bad as there's loading right in front so technically you can just "load" though there's plenty of street parking. My main gripe is that they told me Friday afternoon, and I told them I'd pick it up first thing Saturday morning. So when I showed up at 10:30am they said "OH! umm. 30 more minutes," I swear they hadn't even touched it yet. The hem works, and they picked the right length. At least I now know they can hem my dress for $15 in about 30 minutes if I'm in a real pinch. It's not perfectly straight and even, but I'm a bit anal compared to most, my gma is a Japanese seamstress. But for 3.50 a pants hem I figure it's not bad. read more

I've been going to Mike's for over 20 years and they do a great job! I will say they're better with jeans and slacks over dresses and skirts. Because I'm 5 ft. nothing, all of my pants have to be hemmed and I've even taking jeans there in the morning before work, they hemmed the jeans in 10 minutes and I wore them to work and I made it on time that day!! All for $4. You can't beat this place :) read more

Best tailor in downtown LA. I have been going to Mike's for over 20 they are one if the best in the downtown area

For starters, this place is cash only. Was hesitant at first. Gave them a shot due to other Yelp reviews. Dropped off a pair of jeans that were to long. Told me to come​ back in 45 minutes. Jeans were perfect. Same color thread. Perfectly tailored. Like it came from the factory. Extremely happy. My new tailor. read more
