They had white funeral áo dài in stock AND in my size. Even though I was a walk-in with such short notice, they were able to fit me in for a fitting and alterations. I left to grab lunch, came back less than 2 hours later, and my áo dài was already finished and ready for me! They were incredibly kind, accommodating, and understanding of why I needed it so urgently, which I truly appreciated during such a difficult time for our family. The service was so quick and the entire experience took so much stress off my shoulders. I was able to attend the temple service the next day with exactly what I needed. Thank you so much, Ao Dai Bao Han! I absolutely recommend them, especially if you need an áo dài on short notice.

My wife and I visited Ao Dai Bao Han about two months ago while we were in California visiting…read morefamily. We live in Virginia and this was our very first experience having custom áo dài made so we were pretty nervous going into it. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by some of the friendliest people we've ever met (and an adorable little cat!), and Michael took the time to walk us through every step of the process. He helped us choose fabrics, explained the history behind different áo dài styles, and made thoughtful recommendations based on how traditional we wanted our outfits to be. When we ran into a small issue because there wasn't enough of one fabric we loved, he was incredibly accommodating and helped us come up with different ideas while also offering to try to source more of the same fabric. What stood out most was Michael's kindness and genuine care. He never made us feel rushed and truly wanted us to leave with something we'd love. When he found out we were visiting from Virginia, he even shared recommendations for places to eat and explore around San Jose! Our first custom áo dài experience couldn't have been better and we couldn't recommend Ao Dai Bao Han more highly.

I can't recommend Ionna highly enough. She has altered around 40 outfits for me, ranging from…read moresimple adjustments like hemming dresses to incredibly complex transformations--such as resizing a suit from a size 44 down to a 34. That's over a 10-size difference, and you would never know. Every piece looks like it was custom-made for me. What truly sets Ionna apart is not just her technical skill, but her creativity. We've collaborated on reimagining certain pieces beyond the designer's original vision to better match my personal style--and the results have been amazing. Most of the garments I bring her are vintage, and since the original designer is no longer around, my only option is to purchase whatever size I can find and rely on expert tailoring to make it work. Ionna executes this flawlessly every time. On top of all that, her pricing is incredibly reasonable for the level of craftsmanship she provides. She is truly talented, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. Highly, highly recommended.

You'd never know the shirt started out two sizes too big and completely the wrong cut. I really appreciate the professionalism, attention to detail, and timely service. If you're looking for reliable tailoring or alterations--especially on a quick turnaround--I highly recommend them.

I made an appointment with her 2 months out from the wedding and didn't know what to expect. The moment I got there I could tell I was in good hands. Nur was very detailed in how she broken down every part of the dress that didn't fit quite right. I needed the whole corset to be resized. The bust was 2-3 sizes too big, the waist needed another few inches off, the length needed shortened and I needed the bustle put in. In our first appointment she showed me 4 different bustle styles and told me to decide by our next appointment. Immediately after our first appointment, she booked me for my 2nd and 3rd try on immediately to make sure that she could get the dress to me with at least 1 week before when I needed it. She also timed the try ons for the same time of my menstrual cycle of my wedding ~honestly genius. I was so impressed with her work at the end. She really brought the dress to life with how it fit me. If you need your wedding dress altered, look no farther!

I've been coming here for nearly 20 years. Kim usually does decent work but a few recent…read moreexperiences have me questioning her integrity. I've brought in plenty of pants for tapering, shortening, taking in the waist, etc. Last winter I brought in pants that were off the rack and a little long with a 32 length. As usual, I tried them on with shoes and Kim helped measured the length to shorten and I picked them up a week later. Super quick process. I didn't try them on at pickup since I had a lot of work done by her previously so I had no reason to doubt her work. Unfortunately I went 3 months without wearing them but when I did, they were still far too long so I had to bring them in again. I explained the situation and when she examined the pants, she told me it was still the factory stitching so there wasn't any work done by her or any other tailor. I was surprised by that, and that she didn't recognize her own work. I assured her I brought them in just a few months prior. When she remeasured the length, she marked to pants to shorten another 1 1/8 in. She said that she always cuts the length requested by customers and so it was my fault and had to pay again for work on the pants. I have all my pants around 29 inseam so this obviously was not accurate and rather annoying she tried to blame me for the incorrect length since she was the one who previously measured. I needed them done so I went ahead. I didn't want to leave a review about this but the following experience was embarrassing and needed to share. I recommended her shop to a friend who needed to shorten the length of 2 curtains but had a horrible experience. At pickup, Kim casually mentioned that 1 of the curtains were already damaged at drop-off and that she decided to do a free patching for the damage. My friend was not notified of any damage prior to pickup, and furious there wasn't any sort of communication. She couldn't even return the "already damaged" curtains because of Kim's unilateral decision to patch the hole. I felt responsible so I sent my friend $600 to cover the cost of curtains. If there was truly damage already, why wouldn't you inform the customer first to decide options?! This used to be my go to tailor but it's now on my blacklist.
