Chau pinned my midi-dress with safety pins to knee length I requested. When I returned found hem was picked up but not length I requested--was still way too long. Though she offered to re-do, I wanted my money back because she knew-I had told her- dress was for wedding on following day and she could not have ready by then. Protracted argument ended with parting from Chau with midi-dress that was still a midi-dress and $50 poorer. Terrible, terrible experience. read more

Tailored jeans were ready a day before the pick up date and they turned out great! Kim is the sweetest!

Great place! I brought in three pants. Two for work and one was trendy faux leather that's super popular. Pants were all too long and the faux leather were too long and very baggy on the sides. She was able to take it in. The pants all fit really well. And turn around time was about one week. I will be coming back here. read more

I tried this alterations place in June and was 100% satisfied. My son had a white suit that needed to be altered. The suit was big all over and they did an awesome job. I brought my Chanel tights to be made into leggings and they were perfect, not to mention they are not pricey but do excellent work. I highly recommend their services. read more

This is the place to come if you need clothes altered! Kim Chau does exceptional work. It's only her work lung because as she said she used to have other people who worked for her but their work just wasn't as good and she holds herself to a very high standard. She has been here for years and she greets every customer like she's your sweet grandmother you love to visit. That's what makes Chau's standout. She will make your suits look great and make you smile and enjoy yourself the whole time you're with her. read more

I got a sewing machine for Christmas. ... Yeah. End of chapter 1. Chapter 2: I needed some pants hemed, so I went to Chau's on recommendation. If you want an extra grandma, or if you haven't had one around lately, go see Chau. I called to see if she was open, and she said sure honey, come over, bring pants. She sounded pleased to have me drop by her small strip-mall shop! My heart all a-flutter, I drove to see gra... Chau, pants in tow. If I could sit with her while she sewed up my pants, that would be the icing on the cake. I dropped off a pair of pants to hem shorter, and one pair that needed to be longer. When I went to pick them up a few days later, I noticed a sign out front indicating it's $10 for pant hems, and replayed her voice in my head from when I dropped them off. "The hem-out pants will cost a little more." No problem. More talking, and family pictures! How sweet! I paid, got my pants, and merrily drove home. After the grandma fairy dust had worn off, I checked out the receipt: $27.00 for both pants. How'd that happen? Sigh. Chapter 3: Learn how to use sewing machine. Go to Chau's in the meantime. read more

Went there for the first time to have my clothes cleaned only last week - picked them up today. The clothes look GREAT! But I'm writing the review because when I walked in the door, it was like Kim was expecting me! She called me by name, she was hugging one of her customers as he was leaving and she was just so nice. I like people who brighten my day like that! Found my new dry cleaners! read more

Kim is really nice! I love the custom alteration she did for my skirt, fixed my torn dress and hemmed my pants. Turn around time was a week and the price was high but I was ok with it given that I love the new life my clothes live now. read more

Ms Chau is awesome! Brought some jeans in to have the waist taken in and she did a great job. Such a sweet lady that works her tail off to make sure every customer has a great experience and has their alterations done in the timeframe they need, and her prices are very fair! read more

Chau can do anything you need in the way of alterations. Kim does hems for $10, fixes seams for $6 and does more complicated work for equally reasonable prices. She's the best and she doesn't try to rip you off like so many other places might do. On a good day, she may even beat her own prices. Whether it's invisible stitching, elaborate re-cuts or just something simple, I trust this lady to do it right and match the colors perfectly. Open 'til 5:30 weekdays and 11-4 on Saturday. I haven't tried the cleaning service, but I highly recommend the alterations. read more

I have been using Chau for I don't know how many years. She has mended everything from slip covers on my couch, to hems, to alternations on dresses. She is the sweetest lady, does excellent work and is fast, too. I am moving to Iowa. I'm gonna miss her sweet disposition. Really nice lady . .. has a sweet little old dog, too. She has seen me go from skinny . . . to fat. From single . . . to married. Very fair prices, too. read more

alteration work is about the same as any other places, but the price is not. 3 stars for the work and turn around time - 1 star for the price = 2 stars. read more
