He has done all types of alterations for me, I am a petit person so every winter coat I've gotten the sleeves are always super long. Unlike other tailors, Reza takes the time to do it right! Instead of shortening the sleeve he starts at the shoulder which means tedious work. It always turns out perfect! He has also fixed couple of my husband's suits that were ill fitting and now they fit perfect! Recently he custom made a sports coat for my husband. It fits like a glove, it's perfect, he helped me choose a beautiful material. Anywhere my husband has worn that blazer, he is bound to get at least one or two compliments. All the compliments go to Reza I would definitely recommend him, the service and the garments are worth the price!!

But it was what I'd chosen for a black-tie optional event, so I was hoping for a miracle. I tried it on in the shop, Reza studied it for maybe thirty seconds, took some measurements and made suggestions. No fuss, no upselling -- just a calm, knowing confidence. When I came back to pick it up, he brought it out and I immediately knew...it was beautiful! What had been a visibly misfitting dress, was turned into an elegant gown! I walked into Reza's shop with a problem dress and walked out with a lovely gown I can't wait to wear. That says everything. Thank you Reza, I am genuinely grateful. I highly recommend your services!

This is an old-fashioned tailor shop that is run by a Korean lady who has been making and altering…read moreclothes all her life. Based on my own experience--and that of my wife--Hyun can do anything with a piece of clothing. I will be specific with my own experience. I had lost almost thirty pounds and took several suits, a military mess dress uniform, and a tuxedo to her for alterations. She carefully pinned up the clothing items as I stood there modeling them. When I got them back, they were as if custom made for me. She is that good. She charges around $165 to totally re-make a man's suit, and I consider that a bargain. These were nice clothes, wool in all cases, and she gave them new life. Be aware that she does not take credit cards, though she will take a personal check. Payment in advance, which is perfectly reasonable. When she retires, which may not be too far in the future, I don't know what we will do.

The good reviews made me see Luis, but I will never go back…read more I took two suits to him for tailoring and am not happy with either. And the experience was terrible. First, neither suit was ready when he said they would be. He had them for an extra week and he had not work on them until the day I went to pick them up. Second, he did not tailor the sleeves correctly, they were uneven. Third, the pant legs were not as I wanted them to be. He kept telling me the style is to have no break, but I told him that is not my style and I wanted them to break. I also asked him to taper the legs and he said it was not needed. Well, when I went to get the pants for one of the suits (the other pants were completely messed up...more to follow) the hem was too high and the legs were too baggy. He lowered the hem but not enough (as I told him to do) and he did taper the legs. Fourth and worst of all...he switched my pants with those of another customer and tailored them to his measurements. That customer is shorter than me. He tried to correct his mistake. But when I went back to get the pants the hem was too high and he had let out the waist and seat a ridiculous amount. I see what he did was let the seat out as much as possible so the hem line would be lower. I had to have him take in the waste and lower the hem the maximum amount possible. The hem line is still slightly too short but there is nothing he could do because he cut the material when he hemmed them for the shorter customer. And also the seat is so low it rubs against my inner things. I should have demanded he pay for the suit he ruined but I was so tired of waiting for it and I needed it that I just paid him. It took three trips and over a month to get my suits from him. Worst of all is he charged me full price for the alternations, even on the pants he messed up. Luis is a nice man but he rushes and does not listen to when the customer wants. Sadly, I don't recommend his tailoring services at all. I know others who are satisfied with him but I was very disappointed by his work and professionalism.

I was highly recommended to bring larger items here, like my comforter, and based on my first…read moreexperience, I understood why. The initial service was impeccable, which is why I decided to return. I'm giving two stars out of grace for that first visit. Unfortunately, my second experience with the exact same item was disappointing. When I picked up my comforter, I noticed small specks of lint scattered across it. I brought this to the manager's attention, and while she insisted she personally handled my item and attempted to remove the lint, that explanation didn't align with the final result. If the issue couldn't be resolved, I should have been notified before leaving--not after I had to point it out myself. I did receive a refund, which I appreciate, but I genuinely wanted this to work. It seemed like the manager had already made up her mind that nothing further could be done, and there was no real effort to try to resolve the issue. At that point, I simply asked for my item back so I could take it somewhere that handles items with more care and attention to detail. It honestly made me question whether my comforter was mixed in with others during the process, especially since I take great care in maintaining it, including regularly steam disinfecting it at home. What was also frustrating was that instead of focusing on my concern, the manager began explaining how other customers' items can come in, as if I was expected to sympathize. My only concern was the condition of my item. Based on this experience, I would recommend keeping it simple here--stick to everyday dry cleaning. I would not suggest bringing larger bedding items like comforters or duvet covers, as the quality and attention to detail may not be consistent.

To make matters worse, when it came to the pants she did the exact same this as last year! I had to deliberately ask her to not and to please check other alterations that need to be made, and she hit my leg and told me not to complain.

The dress…read morewas strapless on the right side and had two long straps on the left to be tied in a bow on the top of the shoulder. I tried the dress on around 1pm to match my accessories. The event was at 6pm. I noticed the right and left side of the dress was safety pinned to the paper hanger to hold the dress up as there was no strap on the right shoulder. I noticed a 3rd safety pin but wasn't sure why. I removed all of the pins to try the dress on. When I went to tie the bow on the shoulder there was only one strap. I looked around and saw it was on the floor. I realized the strap was pinned to the dress because it was no longer attached. I rushed back to the cleaners because I knew it was an easy fix. All they had to do was to sew it back on. I talked to a small man and he was puzzled. I told him if he sewed it back all would be good but that it was connected when I dropped it off. I did not drop the dress off to be cleaned in two pieces. He nodded and signaled to give him time & he would fix it. A larger Asian woman proceeded to yell at the man for a few seconds then turned her anger towards me. She began yelling at me. I told her to stop yelling at me. She told me she was going to make me pay $20, still screaming. I calmly told her I wasn't. I remained calm and noncombatant because I just needed my dress fixed. The man fixed it in a matter of 3-5 minutes. The lady the took it from him and brought it to the counter. She started yelling at me again saying that she was making me pay $20. I told her I absolutely would not. She had the top portion of my dress on her side of the counter and I had the bottom on my side. We were at an impasse while she continued to scream at me and the man in the back. I told her that I was not paying and going to call the police. That is when the small man finally spoke up and started yelling at her. I assume he was telling her to give me my dress so that I didn't call the police. The lady and I exchanged some very unkind words she also called me a liar. I was fed up with her yelling at me. I walked out assuring her I would never return and would write a review about my experience. I guess had I checked the reviews on Yelp first I would have never gone it. The cleaners is 10 walk from my house. I try and make it a habit to frequent the neighborhood establishments. I lived here for four years and have never had a bad experience at any of the shops or restaurants.
