Super quick and easy spot for alterations, also accepts card, which is kind of hard to get in Oakland. I only had one pair of dress pants that I needed tailored - it was $15 for one pair and the turnaround was very speedy - it was done in about two days. The seams were very even and they did a great job! read more

Getting clothes altered and repaired is preferable these days over buying new stuff. My wife and I have gone to Ritz for years, including things like hemming pants, alternating dresses and suit jackets, etc. the owner does a good job, works fast and seems to charge reasonable prices. The owner Yim is a super nice Vietnamese lady who seems to put attention into detail. I've seen customer get measured for new suits, I don't know what she charges but it seems like people have good experiences. A more tailored fit to my suit jackets have made them feel and look better. I've brought her cheaper jackets and nicer more expensive jackets and they all come out ok. read more

Yim is the BEST!!! The quality and speed of their work is incomparable! Unmatched quality and speed

I had an amazing experience here. They were incredibly fast -- I dropped off my pants and was shocked at how quickly everything was ready. The team is super kind and made the whole process easy and welcoming. On top of that, the workmanship is excellent -- every detail was perfect, I'll definitely be coming back and recommending Ritz to everyone I know. read more

I'm not sure how this place has so many stars as they are Not true tailors. They only do minor alterations that you can get done at a dry cleaner. Something also smells off at this place, I'm not sure if it's old fabric and/or mildew. Thank goodness I found a real tailor that can make alterations on my son's prom suit. read more

Excellent experience and great pricing. The return time is ideal. I highly highly recommend Ritz Tailor.

Mom and pop tailor shop The building is very old and unassuming, no frills. They're great for basic alterations: button, zipper, shortening hem- I haven't needed to do drastic alterations but so far had a good experience read more

Very helpful fast service and they are extremely nice and accommodating. Support !!! Will be back for any service they do provide

This review is long overdue. I only come here for my tailoring needs. Fantastic service. They're quick, honest, and so good at what they do. Highly recommend! read more

I needed a wedding suit custom made and they were great! I'm recommending Ritz Tailor to everyone I know for the quality, care and attention to detail. He made me an incredible navy blue suit that would work well for a hot summer night with a lighter fabric. He answered all my questions and after measuring me, he drew on paper the suit he was going to build and it only took him ~2 months! I'll only go here from now on and might have him make me more suits if I ever have the need to wear formal wear frequently! read more

The best! I've been coming here for years and she never lets me down. Provided quick service and is always pleasant to work with. Cash only, which I don't mind. read more

My partner accidentally cut into a pair of pants I just bought while opening the package for me. Imagine the devastation and incredulity we both felt when we saw the holes!!! We asked around two places and decided to go with Ritz because of the price factor and the Yelp reviews! See attached for the picture of the holes and then the result! I truly think it couldn't have come out better than it did. They suggested I hem the length so that they can use the same fabric to mend the holes. They did a great job with both the mending and the hemming. I trust them completely and will be back for more tailoring needs. The storefront and the interiors are not fancy but please don't judge a book by its covers. Their hours are also reduced during the covid lock down so make sure you call in advance before dropping by. I think the days they are open right now are Tues, Thurs, and Sat from 11-3 but don't quote me! read more

I had several pairs of jeans altered and hemmed keeping the original bottoms on some. They did fantastic work.

Had a great experience with Ritz for my wedding outfit. I wanted a duster made (detachable skirt usually worn over pants) to wear over a jumpsuit I already owned, for our City Hall wedding. I was quoted over $700 for this at a wedding shop in S.F. Ritz was able to make this for me at a fraction of that price. I went in for two fittings and they were able to make changes to the skirt as needed. Great quality, very happy with how everything turned out! read more

Competent friendly service. Always on time and very easy to work with. They are very accommodating.

The couple that owns Ritz are extremely kind and accommodating. I love the lady that has helped me, but can't remember her name.... I've had pants hemmed/ repaired, jumpsuits tailored to fit (after i butchered, thinking i was a seamstress!!), large vintage jackets tailored perfectly- all done within a few days turn-around time and affordably priced $20-$40. My only issue is the smell of moth balls- it's overwhelming! BUT, it's their shop and they gotta do what they can for pests! read more

This is the store that will make you look more aerodynamic. My go-to tailor for relatively basic things like hemming and tapering pant legs and jacket/shirt sleeves, and taking in waists/jackets. Luckily I haven't needed anything much more complicated than that. Turnaround is pretty good (usually within 3-4 days), the work itself is solid, and the price is reasonable. It'd be nice if the store had a standardized list of prices for basic alterations. read more

They respond very quickly when I was dying to find a good Tailor shop. The lady was very nice and welcoming. The service is VERY GOOD!! I love how they did a GREAT JOB on my Maxi Dress. Price is very reasonable. I will for sure come back to Ritz. VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER! read more

I had a short but very solid experience here: needing new buttons on an old favorite shirt. I dropped it off on a Saturday and picked it up in a week and it was $5. The interesting part was I asked if I needed a ticket or could give them my name and the seamstress said nope we'll remember, and sure enough she did! It was a five star (though short) experience, so I'd certainly repeat! read more

Ritz is solid! Reasonable prices and turnaround. The seamstress is patient and helpful whenever I have questions about alterations. It can get busy around closing time fyi! A friend recommended this spot and I'm happy to support an AAPI business. read more

Ritz is the only place I take my clothes to. They're always friendly, always do an amazing job, and always on time with deadlines. Highly recommend Ritz if you're looking to get anything tailored. read more

The couple are very nice and humble people. The husband makes custom made suits. The lady does an amazing job with altering the dresses. Really happy with the result! read more

Came here to tailor my dress and jumpsuit - friendly service and fast too. Dropped it off the afternoon before and picked up the next morning. I hemmed my dress shorter and the lines were on point. My jumpsuit also needed to be hemmed and it looks great now. Prices are okay, $10 per hemming and I needed to make the straps shorter for my jumpsuit which was $5. read more

First time tried here by friend recommendation. I had couple of tricky alteration and it was well taking care of, Thank you.

My first time taking my New Year's Eve dresses to get altered here and since it is right around the corner from Dude's office, and he never mentioned it, I thought I would give it a try. Yim and Henry are very friendly and I felt comfortable in their store. Henry even makes suits to order! I was having a red gown shortened as it had a train and was too long for dancing. From start to finish, I tried on the dress, Yim measured it and asked me to come back in about a week. I came to pick it up today, tried it on and it's perfect! And the cost of alteration was very reasonable! read more

I had my jeans shortened. $15. Ready the next day. The stitching looked like the original.

Excellent quality alterations and fast turnaround. I needed hems done quickly and they delivered. Price was high but worth it.

Love this place, the owner is so sweet and accommodating. Came to get my costume altered needed to be brought in at the waist- she got it finished in a few hours and charged 30 including fixing a couple holes and hemming another shirt- very reasonably priced. read more

Ritz repaired a bag of older clothing I brought over, with various holes in the material, and ordered a corded belt that was missing from my sweatpants. They missed a couple of holes, but overall did a nice job. I'd definitely go to them again. read more

Had a great experience at Ritz Tailor. I needed a shirt tailored for an upcoming event that was happening in less than a week. I walked in, they made adjustments on my shirt in about 5 minutes, and then 4 days later it was ready and fit perfectly. The easiest and fastest experience I've had with a tailor. And to top it off, it was more affordable and a way better job than other tailors I've been too. It's safe to say, I'll be bringing all my new shirts here. read more

I really like the people who work here, they are very nice, but I didn't appreciate the button they sewed on my jeans (original button had fallen off and was lost). New button they sewed on is very scratched read more

So happy to have this neighborhood tailor. They took in two pairs of jeans at the waist and they fit perfectly now. I wish I had learned to get my clothes tailored sooner! Fair price and decent turn around time. Nice people. read more

Positives: cost me $10 per dress shirt to taper it because each shirt was too big. Turnaround time was less than 7 business days. Result was great as well. Overall - impressive! Paid total of $20 in cash for the 2 shirts tapered. Negatives: nearby parking is fairly difficult for this area. read more

Ritz Tailor has been my go to for a couple years now. They are responsive and good quality.

I needed a suit tailored and for a wedding. I saw on yelp that this was one of the highest rated and cheapest place to get it done. I went to another tailor the day before and they were offering $75 to shorten the jacket sleeves and hem the pants. They had me try it on and measured the suit around me. Here to shorten the jacket sleeves was $25 and to hem pants was $10. Total of $35. When I walked in she just asked what I wanted. I tried the suit on, but she didn't really have much opinion on what needed to be done. Just kept asking what I wanted even though I asked her if anything else needed to be done. she didn't measure everything. If I didn't go to the other tailor the day before I wouldn't have known what needed to be done. I told her I needed it in two weeks and she asked me which day. She told me it would be done by the next weekend (1.5weeks). when the weekend passed. I didn't get a call. so the week of the wedding I decided to just go in and see if my suit is done (still no call). Then when I got in she said she forgot to call m, luckily the suit was already done with its adjustments and fit great. The other groomsmen went to other places and they actually measured everything. Inseams, Outseams, and everything else. Here I guess you have to know what you wanted. But for the price it isn't bad. I would come here again for just pants hemming. Only thing I would say is probably check for adjustments instead of asking what the person wants. this was my first tailoring experience and I had no clue. Also with communication, keep the clients updated. Other than that, great work, Straight to the point, and great price read more

I've been coming to Ritz for years to get my pants/jeans altered. I even got my wedding dress altered and taken in a few years ago. They've always done an amazing job with a relatively quick turnover (2-3 days -- but they always ask when you'd like to pick it up so let them know if you need it sooner). Prices are super reasonable. Call before you go so they know you're showing up -- sometimes they keep the door locked in the front if they're working in the back but if you give them a heads up, they'll be waiting for you. :) They're the best tailors in town! read more

I had a dress that needed to be hemmed and I saw the amazing reviews on this place so I decided to give it a try. They are very quick and the dress came out perfectly! I am very happy with the services here and I will definitely return! read more

Good tailor job but they didn't press the dresses or put them on a hanger , especially for the high prices they charge. The lady just handed to be not even in a bag. The turnaround was fast. read more

I had sweatpants with a small minor tear that they fixed in only a minute and they insisted on it being for free!

Absolute angels. They do their best work and I have not been disappointed yet. From alterations to repairs. They got me!
