I'm giving T-World a review based on what they are: they're a small, independently-owned retail shop in an area where seemingly everything is a chain. Their inventory is not tiny, but also not huge. A lot of the clothes they carry aren't mine or my boyfriend's style, but they have his very favorite thermals in the world. They're also not ridiculously priced, and they are good quality that last through many wears and washes. The owners are quiet but they are sweet. They're an older couple who moved here from Korea many years ago, and they've owned T-World for ages. They even carry a few K-beauty products for reasonable prices. They have a little dog named Lucky who wanders the store, too. In his old age he is a little bit timid, and more of a sniffer than a petter, but he's totally harmless and very gentle and sweet. If you've got kids you don't need to worry about him. The owners try to give you space to find what you want, but will ask if you're looking for anything specific. I love that I don't feel pressured. If you're looking for a size or color they don't have, they'll go search the back but they know their inventory. If you're worried they're rude or something, don't. The owners are very kind, sweet and helpful people. They've just dealt with their unfair share of racism and comments, so I think they don't want to give people ammunition to be rude or something. I find really good nose ring hoops here, and they're so much cheaper than what you pay at the mall for the exact same thing. Support local! Check out T-World! read more

I stopped by T World while working on a special t- shirt project and wanted to support a local small business. The store has a decent selection and the prices are fair, although much of the merchandise felt more like what I'd expect to find in the hood or ghetto , not Rosedale Avenue, though most people call Rosedale the hood now, I sorta agree, so if the shoe fits as they say...... Unfortunately, the customer service left a lot to be desired. The staff seemed far more interested in watching the security cameras than engaging with customers. During my visit, there was little acknowledgment, assistance, or interest shown until it was time to pay. I don't take pictures when I dont feel wanted as a customer, so no photos for you..lol A friendly greeting and a little customer service can go a long way, especially for first-time visitors. While I try to support local small businesses, the overall experience didn't leave me with much reason to return. For future projects, I'll probably stick with Michaels or Walmart. read more

Terrible customer service. Purchased over $100 worth of shirts and was returning to purchase more up until they decide not to exchange a $9 shirt that I purchased 3 days earlier that had a stain on it. read more

Lots of proclubs at a great price. Much cheaper than ordering from the proclub website. Customer service was 10/10, definitely coming back.

The reviews for this place are generally not good. I can see why BUT maybe something has turned the nice couple off of customer service. Retail is a tough business privately owned. I had a pretty good experience despite the lack of 'hello' or 'welcome in' or 'can we help'... I was coming out of GNC next door and saw the cutest little dog at the front door. I admit, he drew me in. I had seen this place before from outside but had never been in. It is huge inside! So much stuff. T-shirts, shorts, boots, shoes, hoodies.. I immediately fell in love with 2 jackets, my size... and the little dog too that belonged to the couple, working. The jackets were $10 each. I could not believe it and snapped them up. Regularly priced at $70 a piece. Decent quality too. Upon checking out, I learned that the owners were Korean. Dear to my heart as my dad taught ESL there and he loved it. I spoke a few Korean words and the woman lit right up. Things changed and I left on a really high note. I even went to my car to get "Lucky" the dog some treats. I would go back here and recommend it to others for casual, inexpensive clothing or footwear. read more

The service was good but they need to update there pictures from there website and very good price and quality

This was our first time coming into this store around noon on Wednesday. I noticed that there were 2 sandal options for ladies upon entering the door for under $10. I'll have to check this place out again because my husband and I came in looking for flex Dickies pants for his job, and I was looking for long sleeve shirts by Dickies for my brother. No luck. I did spot basketball shorts for men in various colors, large sizes, and affordable. I will return again to check out those shorts and other items for gift giving. The store is small and neat. They also have sunglasses, some Vans, and more basic items like socks. read more

This place is so cool and full of amazing clothes such as pro club for ONLY 5 dollars Witch is a great price. Also the cashier is super friendly and helped me pick out my size also they have lots of colors to choose from this place it truly amazing and I we can back here more often read more

Rude!!!!! Unprofessional. They wanted me to leave my newborn In his stroller in the large isle while I shopped, I was stereotyped for stealing im sure even tho my stroller only had my new born in it. And my toddler she kept giving him the dirtiest looks when he said hi. as a customer I was about to spend $100 for a birthday gift and I was treated so unkind I just walked out. I came here for convincine and a gift. But I will never go here again Bc the Oder and attitudes were enough to never ever come back!!! A nosey customer said the owner wanted me to "leave my stroller at the front so I don't knock over the shirts " as she yelled it at me with a attitude. when I go everywhere with my children I'm not leaving them unattended period!!! Do not go here! read more

How does this place stay in business? My daughter and I walked in today looking for a few raglan tees. The old man behind the counter didn't even look up he just kept watching the tv he had back there with him. So he's grumpy and maybe not a people person? Alright fine. But what really bothered me was that we were greeted the moment we stepped in the door by what appeared to be his dog, off leash, not being monitored by the owner at all. My family and I have plenty of experience with dogs-we foster for a local rescue and own several ourselves. This dog should not be off leash around customers. He got right up in my two year old's face and when she moved toward him he jumped back very nervously which made me very uncomfortable. His eyes, tail and general body language made is very clear he did not want to be touched or approached. An anxious dog has no business wandering around a store like that. Now, onto the actual tee shirts. They were horrible! The only raglans they had were "unisex" (read oversized), scratchy, boxy and the small went down to my knees. What the heck? Who would want to wear that. We wandered around hoping to find more options but since the old man napping behind the counter wasn't going to help and I was afraid my daughter would be bitten by the dog, we decided to leave without buying anything. read more

Absolutely horrible customer service and very limited inventory. The man and women who run the store have absolutely zero manners. "What size you looking for!?" , yells the man to me as I am browsing the VERY small jeans selection they have. Um, how about a "hello, can I help you find a certain size?". The man and women constantly follow you around as if you are going to steal from them. Oh, and They have no dressing rooms, so good luck figuring out if something fits you or not. They are also VERY overpriced compared to t mart on ming avenue. T mart on ming avenue also has much more inventory and the best thing besides the prices are the fact that they actually are polite and help you with your purchase, not demand that you tell them your size and what you are looking for like t world. Save your money and time, go to t mart. Edit: I asked the nice lady at t mart if they were associated with t world on calloway. I was going to express my bad experience to them. They said they have ZERO affiliation with them, so be assured you will not be treated like trash here. read more

I went in today and both the man and woman were extremely nice to me. Very helpful too! Thanks for giving great customer service! It's so hard to find! read more

A small family owned business. T-World is a one-stop shop! Men's, Women's and Children's clothing. They also provide a good selection of shoes and accessories.. hats, belts,wallets, the list goes on. Name it and they have it all! Operated by the sweetest Korean man and wife team and their pride and joy, a Chihuahua named Lucky. T-World offers varieties in many styles of clothing at such reasonable prices. There is no other place like this in Bakersfield. Susan, who is the sweetest, just caters to your every need. Poor thing is elderly and she even offers to help carry your bag(s) to your car! That's just how sweet the husband and wife dynamic-duo are! Definitely my go-to store every time I need something in Bakersfield. read more

Very rude owners, they holler "what you want" ? Like they try to make you hurry up and leave!

Rude customer service. All they want is your money and treat customers like crap. Won't be back

Customer service horrible and the lady there would not stop following me and kept yelling for what size.

If I could give no stars I would. The lady working there told me I had to leave my stroller in the front of the store because there wasn't any room. I can't shop, hold my infant, and hold my other sons hand. She got mad because I told her she was legally obligated to have enough room for wheel chairs. She yelled at me to shut her door so I left. I won't be using that store for any needs. read more

I go here quite often and the couple who own it are always very kind and helpful.I don't know why one reviewer would say the place stinks, I have not found that to be the case. I buy t shirts and sweat pants here , the t shirts are priced fairly and although the sweat pants are a little more than I could place elsewhere for just plain sweats , these cargo sweats I have not found elsewhere . The convenience and friendly service here makes me a regular customer. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. The owner is the rudest person I've ever dealt with in a business. I pulled one shirt off the shelf held it up to see how big it was to my child, folded it and put it back. She stared screaming at me from across the store. Asked "what do you want?!" I told her I was just judging the size, her reply ..."don't unfold anything else!!" It's amazing to me that she's still in business. I will gladly drive farther or pay more to never give her a penny. I'm in disbelief at how rude she was. read more

Wowzer so i walk into this store and some lady is clipping her toe nails there was two dogs running around... wtfoook

Stinks in there. No fitting room. Wanted me to pay $30 for dickies I couldn't try on and couldn't return... Then when I asked what time they closed ( it was 6pm) and he knew I needed black dickies for the next day... He lied and said 630 to try and get me to just buy them..... I'll NEVER GO BACK read more

This place is a joke. They have no dressing room and you arent allowed to try on any of the shirts. Seriously? How do they expect to sell anything if you cant try on the clothing. Won't return. read more
