We stopped by on a Friday evening and was helped immediately. She just looked at my son to guess his size and showed me the styles and colors she had. The whole experience took only 5 minutes from walking up to change in hand walking out. She's very knowledgeable about her inventory and can help you find what you want quickly. We ended up with a blue Áo dài with Dragon design in size 00 for a 3.5 month old read more

HONEST REVIEW: I was looking for traditional Chinese outfits and Ao Dais for my son's 100 day celebration. While the daughter, who looks over the store, is overall nice, the product they sell is TERRIBLE. There are no instructions on how to wash the outfits, so I looked it up online and people generally hand wash them with cold water to be safe, which is what we did. That was a big NOPE. Immediately, the blue dye on the outfit melted away and blended in with the gold colors, ruining it and the overall vibrance. My wife's hands were stained blue for the entire day. My granite countertops are still stained blue! We were devastated. We came back to the store and asked for a refund/exchange. They were of no help, saying, "We just sell the product. What you do it with it after is your responsibility. You should've made sure to wash it under the clothing's instructions." There were NO instructions! The store owner's daughter and I looked and could not find any; and still, she did not take back her words. This is not how you do customer service. How do you expect a customer to come back if they are left unsatisfied? Why sell products that are of one-time use and of terrible quality? Why not take some accountability? Yes, you sell the product, but you have the power to not sell terrible products and ruin the reputation of your store. Anyways, I hate being a Karen, but I hope they learn from this experience. Yes, you can go ahead and shop here, but you (and your hands) have been warned by their quality. read more

This is usually my go to spot for ao dai. They don't just sell women and children's clothes. Lots of options for men too. Cathy and her family are very welcoming and go out of their way to make sure you find what you're looking for. They take their time and don't rush you to buy anything. If you're someone who hasn't worn an ao dai before, they are very supportive in making sure you're comfortable. Highly recommend stopping by in your ventures. You'll be in good hands. read more

By far my most favorite little shop for traditional Vietnamese clothing. This little mom and pop shop not only carries a large number of designs and colors when it comes to ao dais but the owners honestly roll out the red carpet when it came down to customer service provided. Whether you stopped by for 1 or 5 different sets, the friendliness and the welcoming vibes from the staff is all the same. Shout out to the young man who was extremely patient with me and my picky ways. He happily brought out bundles of packaged ao dais for me to rummage through and gave me permission to removed the packaging if I needed a better look. This is my absolute go-to shop for all of my future ao dai needs. Prices may be pretty similar at other locations but the customer service and tone that is provided here stands out above the rest. read more

We came here recently to purchase some kids ao dai for Tet. They were busy because it was the weekend before Tet and everyone was getting their outfits ready for the new year. The sales associate is really friendly and personable. She allowed us to look through their inventory to find what style, size we needed and kept saying if it doesn't fit, bring it back and they'll exchange it. Their pricing is very reasonable compared to the stores outside of Phuoc Loc Tho. We've been back to purchase more items and we'll continue to support this shop. NOTE: they are moving their shop location. still upstairs but taking over the dentist area in the corner since this spot will be renovating so make sure you look for NOVELTY when shopping for ao dai read more

This store is such a gem for ao dais. I do not speak Vietnamese and Cathy was so welcoming. She has a good eye and even helped me fit in the dress a little better. I can't recommend this store enough! read more

I went to other stores but nothing can compare to Novelty since it's the best store in this building! read more

Great location for ao dai, perfect for different occasions like bridesmaid and groomsmen, or something more casual and offers a great variety! My go to spot when I'm in need of a new ao dai read more

I am SO glad I found Cathy and Novelty for my ao dai! I walked in a bit nervous since my Vietnamese isn't great and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to explain what I wanted. But Cathy was super friendly and when I explained what I wanted she immediately knew what to get for me.. I didn't listen at first and she showed me a couple dresses and ultimately tried on what she recommended and dang she is GOOD. The dress was a perfect fit, she knew what I wanted when I didn't. The selection of ao dais were BEAUTIFUL and the materials for the dresses are quality. I'm so glad I found this place on Yelp and will continue coming here for all of my ao dai needs with affordable prices too which is always a plus. Will update with photos once I take my graduation photos... again thank you Novelty and Cathy!!! read more

Came here to purchase the men's traditional Ao Dai for our Tea Ceremony. I went around the mall but this store had the best quality, price. John, Kathy and the owner were so extremely helpful.

Cane in today looking for mens ao dai to surprise my girlfriend. Cathy was super friendly and helped me choose which colors and sizing would be best for me. This family owned shop is definitely worth the visit for their generous prices and welcoming environment. Thank you Cathy! read more

Quick and friendly service from Cathy, we were helped immediately upon entering the store! There was a wide selection of clothing, and we easily found the cutest thing for my GF to wear for Tết! It was hard finding the right size for her anywhere else, but Novelty had every size we could have ever thought of, and it made shopping super easy and convenient! We'll certainly be back again! read more

I bought my kids Ao dai Vietnamese traditional clothing here for a Tet party. I didnt have cash but John let me pay with Venmo. I went home and my 2 1/2 year old protested the yellow color boy outfit. He wanted red. I went back and they let me exchange the ao dai to red. Then my mother in law saw my girl's ao dai and strongly protested the peacock design on it. OGM so I had to go back and exchange it again. The lady did not want to exchange it saying I bought it long time ago. I only bought few days ago. Good thing John was there and he remembered me. He let me exchange my girl's ao dai. Thank God. I recommend this store but you have to see John. He's very nice, not pushy, and easy to deal with. He let me take my time picking the ao dai. He was also very very helpful. read more

Out of all the shops at the Asian Garden Mall, this would be the one I would recommend. It was my first time buying Ao Dai for my love's upcoming Tet celebration and they were more than helpful in helping me pick the correct size. They provided a wide array of colors and designs for different male Ao Dai that was all fairly priced. I will definitely be making more stops here in the future!! read more

staff were extremely friendly and catered to our fashion preferences! would definitely recommend checking them out :)

Went looking for an ao dai and just general clothing, this store stood out because they spoke English and Vietnamese! A plus when my viet is novice at best. Ended up impulse buying some cute pjs! read more

If you want to look for a clothing store with a wide selection for a special occasion like festivals, weddings, tea ceremonies, look no farther than Novelty. During New Years, Cathy and John helped me find a blue dress that matched the color I wanted and pants and sizes you to the T. They have all sizes from small & kids to adults of x,y, & z. My experience here was stress free & not overwhelming. IM SO GLAD I STOPPED HERE. Thank you guys!! I especially loved the dragon on it. read more

Cathy was incredibly kind and helpful- and this store was absolutely outstanding. Very friendly, and provided with exactly what I was looking for.
