Mr Thien is an amazing! He's a one man show, so there could be a wait when it's busy. This is my go to tailor for 10+ years now. His prices are reasonable and he does a great job. You can also try on your clothes when picking up to make sure it's what you want. There's been a few times where I've asked if he could redo something and he's more than happy to fix it. His attention to detail is amazing. I bring all of my tailoring needs to him. read more

I got pants and dress alterations here and loved the results! Thien was professional and the quality of his work was great! And affordable! I highly recommend this place. I don't even live in the South Bay anymore but he is the first person I think of when I consider/plan to get tailoring done. read more

I'm glad I found Thien Tailoring in my neighborhood. The friendliest tailor in town. Prices are very reasonable. I love coming to see the owner too. read more

It was my first time ever getting my clothes tailored and I came to the right place! My shirt went from a shirt drowning me in cloth, to a wearable fabric. I would highly recommend Thien Tailoring. The owner himself is a very busy man, but dedicated to his work and knows his stuff. Massive respect to all his hard work even though he has a lot cut out for him. Amazing, will come back and recommend to my family. read more

The owner and tailor is super nice and sweet! I've gone here 2-3 times already! The dresses were tailored to my liking - but this last one the seams for my blazer were very noticeable and I told him about it but he said he had to do it by hand - the workmanship wasn't up to par - hence I knocked off a star! But otherwise I would've given 5! read more

Mr Thien is our favorite family tailor. He is reasonably priced, and does incredible work. He tailored my daughter's prom and homecoming dresses recently and they have been spot on. He is a kind and pleasant tailor too. Thank you Mr Thien! read more

My whole family and I love coming to Thien! His prices are amazing and he does the best quality work! He's so sweet and kind and anyone that knows him would agree with me. He has done my prom dresses and recently just did my wedding dress, I've been coming to him since 2016 and am never disappointed. Thank you Thien! read more

Thien is a nice old Asian man and is a class act. He's been in business since 1977 and in the exact same retail spot for the last 45+ years. That's pretty impressive. He has a constant stream of customers coming in for alterations and is very reasonably priced. When you walk in, there are clothes everywhere so you know he's busy and knows what he's doing. I was surprised that he remembers clients but he remembered my wife's dress. Finding someone to do alterations is always a pain in the butt because prices and quality varies so much. If you need any alterations, I definitely recommend Thien. read more

Thien Tailoring - Inside - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Lawndale, California

ONE OF THE BEST TAILORS IN SOUTHBAY! He can do almost anything! I've been bringing in my clothes to him for years! He has hemmed and taken in countless pants and tops. I've even brought in my Chanel sweaters and Dolce & Gabbana dresses to have them taken in or repaired (could have taken them in to Chanel or their respective stores, but they take forever to get them back to you, most of shipped to France or Italy). I trust him with all my clothing. He's really friendly and always nice. He may have a thick Vietnamese accent, but has a memory like an elephant. I don't even have to give him my name, he always remembers what I have brought it. read more

I love getting my clothes tailored at Thien! His prices are very affordable, he always delivers on time, and is friendly. Best tailor in South Bay area. read more

if i could rate this place 0 stars i would. i took in 2 pairs of jeans for zipper replacement because the zippers had broke off. they took an entire MONTH to finish them. they left threads all over, the stitching is absolutely atrocious it looks like a 10 year old did it. that's not even the worst part! they sowed my pocket into the zipper so i had to CUT MY POCKET to be able to wear my jeans and after wearing them once THE ZIPPER BROKE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! that's the whole point of me bringing them here. i'm never going back here again and i will be asking for a full refund this is a terrible business read more

Thien Tailoring - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Lawndale, California

I went to have 4 pants shortened. I was very satisfied. The prices were very reasonable and it was ready on time. He is very helpful. Thank you very much. read more

I was really glad to see that Mr. Thien was still operating his business after many years. I recommended him to my son and new daughter-in-law for alterations for their wedding attire. They remarked how nice and honest he was. My husband purchased a couple of dress shirts from Nordstrom which needed sleeves slightly shortened. The turn-around time was quick and he was pleased with the results. Cash or check only, and free street parking in front. Prices are reasonable and he's open on weekends! read more

Thien Tailoring - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Lawndale, California

See all

Mr. Thien is the absolute best! His tailoring and alterations are fantastic and I bring everything to him because I trust his work to be impeccable. He also does a great job on leather which a lot of tailors do not tailor. He is so pleasant and always tells me how he has been a tailor since coming here in 1977 prices are very reasonable and he does get busy at times but it's worth it. read more

When I go to see Thien to get any alterations I feel like I'm going to see my uncle. He is the sweetest, kindest man and truly cares about his work. He makes me try on before leaving to make sure the garments fit correctly otherwise he will fix again until it fits perfectly - although it has always been perfect the first time. He is an honest man and once I brought a dress I wanted to take in and he showed me how to retie the back so it fit better without having to tailor it. He told me 'no need, save money.' I would say he is the best in the business and the best value in the South Bay for sure. Pricing is extremely affordable and he now accepts Zelle payments in addition to cash. read more

Thien Tailoring - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Lawndale, California

I decided to go to Thien Tailoring after reading their positive reviews on Yelp - I'm so glad I did! Thien tailored a bridesmaids dress I had to wear with so much care, speed, and attention to detail. Plus, the prices were great! If I need anything tailored in the future, I'll certainly be back. read more

Mr. Thien is an incredibly kind gentleman who is so proud of his work. I went to him to hem a skirt and adjust the skirt slits, and he was patient, respectful of everyone's time, and very affordable. There were a few people in his shop either dropping off clothes and trying them on for him, or picking up. You can tell that he has a dedicated customer base. There is usually plenty of free parking on the street right in front, and his turnaround for me was one week. Cash only. I'm glad I found my new tailor! read more

I needed to get a bridesmaid dress tailored (hem was too long, lots of layers) and found myself here thanks to Yelp. He did an excellent job with the dress and I've brought several random things for him to fix. Notably, I had a hiking backpack that was falling apart and he was able to repair it. The prices are reasonable and you get a quote on the spot. I think my bridesmaid dress tailoring was about $45-50? and the random smaller things here and there was about $10 or so? Maybe less. I'm not really sure how much he charges by piece because I usually bring several things and he gives me 1 price. There is a dressing room so you can change into your item and he will come to take measurements for the job. Cash only and you pay when you pick up. He has always quoted me about a 1 week turnaround time and when I've asked for things to be done a little quicker (like if I can get it back in 6 days vs 7), he usually obliges. The store does have limited hours and he also takes chunks of time off. If it is something important that is deadline driven, I would have a backup plan just in case and not procrastinate. He is busy!! Parking: street only read more

I've been going to Mr Thien's for some years. I've been happy with all my alterations. He's a one man show so be patient if there is a line. And bring cash . It's easier for him . read more

Mr. Thien has been proudly serving his community since 1977 - that's 40 years! When you come to his shop, you're supporting someone that's not just a master of their craft, but a true artisan and someone dedicated to every detail necessary to make sure things are perfectly taken care of. I could talk about how perfect my alteration was - every stitch was perfectly placed, the perfect amount of thread, and ample amount of reinforcement where needed means that the alteration is strong. My alteration was done quickly, professionally, and accurately - everything I could have asked for and more. The truth is, you don't need me to tell you he's the best at what he does (of course he is!) - do you think that he'd be in business for nearly 5 decades if that wasn't the case? I want to spend time highlighting the man that runs this shop - it's his kindness, willingness to help each person, and genuine concern for your end result that makes this the best alteration place I have ever gone to. Supporting this business means that you're not just "getting a piece of clothing fixed" - you get to spend time speaking with someone that genuinely cares, that'll treat you well, and has been an important and iconic staple of his community for decades, and rightfully so. You're supporting someone with 45+ years of experience that has earned the trust and recognition of entire commnuity. I had a last-minute repair and fortunately, he was able to take care of me quickly. However, this review is less about the repair (which was perfect,) and more about the person/owner. I came in for an alteration but left with a newfound respect and appreciation for someone that's really special. While I'm not from the area (I was travelling for a trip and passing by), I wish that I was - because there is nothing more I'd want than to support someone with the character and principles this man has. That said, this will be the FIRST of MANY trips I'll be making to his shop. I'll be part of a wedding in LA within the next couple of months - we'll be taking ANY AND ALL alterations here, and here only. Words can't describe how much I'm looking forward to my next trip here. Make a trip here and rest assured you'll be well taken care of. read more

This is my go-to always!!! He is fantastic! So sweet and kind too! He can do anything and everything and to what you request.

Thien is a master at his craft!! I have been going with Thien for about 15 yrs now has taylored suits and pants for me. Even my wife has gone to him I 100% recommend Thien. read more

Best tailor you can find in the South Bay. Being a master at his craft, he takes time for each fitting before sending customers on their way. Weekends are busy so be prepared to wait. Recommend you call to confirm your items are ready for pick up before arriving. Mr. Thien is a gem that deserves to be treasured! read more

Family has been using this kind gentleman for several years now and he has always come thru for us when we needed some items done quickly. While his business hours may not be convenient for customers who need access to him often, he is working alone. Happy to keep supporting him and his care for his customers. Thanks Mr. Thien for the years of attentiveness and excellent customer service. read more

Thien Tailoring - Mr. Thien hard at work! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Lawndale, California

Hands down the best tailor in the South Bay! Tran does an amazing job! I've gone to him twice for jeans, shirts, and skirts - and I was very happy with what he did and his prices are beyond reasonable and fair. Tran is so sweet and I highly recommend seeing him! I will definitely be going back. Thank you, Tran! read more

I bought a suit on Amazon for my wedding, but some alterations were definitely needed. Specifically, I needed to have my pants hemmed, my jacket sleeves shortened, and my jacket tapered. In my research of tailoring services in my area, I kept finding that my alterations would likely cost almost $80 total, which would put a dent in my wife and I's efforts to save as much as possible. But then I found Thien Tailoring on Yelp and I was really impressed by the reviews. The guy ended up being exactly what I needed. Not only did he do all the desired alterations really well, he only charged me about $45 total! Definitely a deal! Not to mention, he was very nice and efficient throughout the process. Would definitely recommend! read more

I've been coming here for years for original hem jeans and have taken several suits and blazers to Mr. Thien for all my custom alterations and tailoring! All I have to say is it's hard to find great service and businesses like this one... I'm so glad that they are still here otherwise I wouldn't know where to go for anything without them! Mr. Thien still got it and has the eyes to see what is best and needs to be done to get the right fit as my weight continues to climb through the years! Lol read more

Mister Thien does phenomenal tailoring. Period. The fact that he's super nice, gracious and possesses an amazing memory adds to the experience. So far he's taking in and given new life to my old Lululemon pants that were too big after I lost weight. He's also taken in a made to order tuxedo jacket as well as an off the shelf white dinner jacket that the store tailor previously proclaimed could not be taken in further, and instead, Thien's expert tailoring made this jacket finally fit like my jackets that were made up order. His pricing are well below market, especially given I'd pay more for his superior tailoring. About the only negatives are 1) takes at least a week for any tailoring, large or small 2) restroom is not the most clean but neither of these issues are relevant to the final results you'll be amazed by. Good things come to those that wait!! read more

They do good work at a great price. Don't be spooked by the place. A bit messy but their work is top notch.

I took in my jeans to get fixed and Mr. Thien did a great job. He is nice, great customer service, and has a fair turnaround time. I recommend this small business, please support him! read more

Thien did a great job altering my pants and my daughter's dress for prom. He was very personable and his prices were reasonable. I recommended him to my family and friends. He will be my go to tailor for all future alterations. read more

Full disclosure: I don't get a lot of things tailored or altered. I usually don't buy them if they require extra work. But then I found this dress, and I had to have it. Problem: I'm not 7 feet tall. Solution: I got it hemmed. For FIFTEEN dollars! The hem doesn't even look like it's been touched, and it only cost me $15. I don't have a lot of experience with tailors, but there's a reason this guy has lasted over 30 years in the same shop and comes highly recommended. I can definitely vouch for his hemming! read more

Mr. Thien is amazing. I'm a tall guy (6' 3") and on the larger side - buying stuff off the rack is tough to fit. Mr. Thien always hooks me up and now he just knows how I like my pants and shirts to fit, I don't even have to ask him. Great service and very friendly. Just make sure you go on an 'off-day' like a Weds or Thurs morning, otherwise, you'll be waiting in line! read more

This unassuming little shop is where you'll get top notch QUALITY service. Thien's shop has been in operation for 40 years! The turn around time is better than most dry laundry services and Mr. Thien himself is just an awesome dude! Prices are very good. read more

Truly an amazing talent! Mr. Thien is simply the best at what he does! He's done about everything for me, (suits, pants, shirts, etc).. I couldn't be happier! Best Tailor on the Westside! read more

I absolutely love thien tailoring. He is such a sweet man and so helpful. Once we've found him we never looked backs my whole family brings their items here. Fair prices, great results. He's been in business for a long time and you can totally tell why. We've done fine dresses, pants, etc and always happy! read more

After my last horrible tailoring experience (http://www.yelp.com/biz/tri-cleaners-el-segundo#hrid:l8rh3FRu7Ay9zz_nkrBYBw) I found this place just by searching Yelp. A definite plus when I found out fellow Yelper Penn T reviewed this place too. I came here to shorten a bridesmaid dress. There's a small changing "room" and I was able to show him exactly what I wanted. I come back five days later and the dress was perfect. Mr. Thien is a pro and has restored my faith in tailors. FYI: He only accepts cash or checks. read more

Such a sweet man! My husband use to get his suits and pants hemmed with wherever he gets his stuff from but I convinced him that he needs to come to Thien! Thien does great work, I trust him with the Mr's expensive suits and sports jacket and of course pants. He has even taken in a few of dresses (though I mostly go to my favorite lady who is located OC- but time doesn't always permit it so I'd go to Thien. He always remembers us- even when we haven't been by in a while! :) He's only open Thursday-Sunday. When in doubt, just call him! read more

Good quality work for the price! Although only open from Thursday - Sunday (which can cause some hardships when you wait to the last minute to tailor something), the price cannot be beat! He was also very nice and helped clean up some threads that got pulled due to my nail catching on the dress. read more

Pretty disappointed with my trip to Thien. My fiancé took in his suit to get tailored and had great results. My maid of honor took her dress in to Thien as well to get her bridesmaid dress hemmed and taken in. Both times they were super happy with their results. With that being said, I brought in my wedding dress to be taken in as well. I brought it in on a Thursday and Thien added pins to show where it would be needed. He said it would be ready by Sunday and would only be $40. Sounded like a great deal to me. I came on Sunday a little after opening and he was swamped. 3 customers before me and 5 lines up after me. When it was my turn to try on my dress I noticed that it felt exactly the same as it did when I dropped it off. He asked if I was ready so he can check his work, to which I said yes. He immediately said "see I take in the sides, much better" and stepped out immediately to start helping the next customer. I was still unsure but paid him and went on my way. I opened up my garment bag when I came home later that evening and noticed a very significant stain that looks like 3 dirty fingers rubbed on the side. I also looked inside the dress to check if the inseam was altered at all and it looks exactly the same as how it did when it was delivered! I even still could see the points where he poked it with the pins untouched. I knew I noticed he never even altered it! I'm beyond frustrated because my wedding is this Friday. I now have to spend $130 to dry clean a dress that I shouldn't need to, and have it a size too big since he's only open on Thursday-Sunday. You get what you pay for- having more work than you started with and almost $200 down the drain for no reason. read more
