They are the best. Ive been going to them for 20 years! Always perfect for all kinds of clothes read more

BEWARE!!!! I almost never leave a negative review, but want to save people the hassle I had to deal with. I've been coming here since 2007 when they had 5 star reviews. There's an absolute reason they now have 3 stars. Dropped off 2 pairs of pants one to shorten, one to lengthen. Pair #1 (the ones shortened) came back w the right leg about 3/4 longer than the left. Pair #2, we agreed to let out about an inch with the indication of a pin. Pair #2 was let all the way out now rendering them about 3.5 inches too long. When bringing back pair #1 I was gaslit and told the pants legs were the same when visibly in the mirror they were about 3/4 an inch off. Finally she admitted I was right and they were in fact uneven but not before telling me, 'I see it, but just pull your pants up higher on the one side.' Like WHAT?!? Pants #2 I was told they were not ever pinned and that I asked them to be let all the way out so I'd have to pay again to have them fixed. I agreed bc I need the pants for an upcoming trip. Picked up pair #2 and the legs are uneven by about 1/2 inch. Gaslit again saying they were perfect and I was nuts, so paid 2x for uneven pants. I truly warn you to stay away. Being my sole tailor for almost 20 years it's a sad reality to face. read more

Kim's tailor shop charged me $25 she did an Awful job on my pants and would not give me a Refund DO NOT GO THERE if u want her to do a AWFUL JOB She Will Rip You Off and Not Refund U read more

Kim was very helpful when hemming my jeans. Very recommended! Service was quick and respectful.

Super rude the women pushes you actually pushes you when measuring you and just over all rude to you. Would not recommend supporting business owners like this read more

I've been a customer for a couple of years and find Kim to be pleasant and efficient. Never had a problem.

Very nice tailor experience. Kim is very nice and professional. I am always happy with her work.

Price has gone up again to $15 for pants alterations, however, it is a quick turnaround you can ask for anything to be done within 4-5 days.

The worst customer service I have ever experienced. I brought an evening gown with me to see if she could possibly take out some of the seams inside so that it could fit me (after having kids). She told me I should exercise and lose five pounds. I got to her store in such a hurry that I forgot to bring the plastic dress cover with me. As I was leaving, I asked her if she could kindly give me a plastic cover for my dress so that it wouldn't get ruined in the car (as I was going to pick up my toddler from school). She told me she didn't have any. I looked around and saw a roll of the plastic film that she would put all of the garments in. I asked if I could use some. Her response was "why should I give this to you for free? I paid for it." read more

I gotta say, I'm surprised by the positive reviews here. I guess if you're just getting a hem, it may be fine. I brought in 2 men's slacks to be revised. Now, I paid $94 total, which seems a lot, and she promised me I'd be pleased with the results. One pair was fine. The other pair had pleats and they stick out. They look ridiculous- like old military uniform pants. I showed her and she just kept moving me around in a circle to say it will work from another angle. Hogwash. Then, she told me I need to wear them with a jacket- ha, I guess to hide the actual slacks. Lol. Ridiculous Overall, there are other tailors just down the street, and I recommend you check those ones out. read more

Family owned local tailor. Very quick turnaround and very polite. Many other reviewers on here were being rude and thus received poor treatment. Have respect for them and their business and they will treat you amazingly. read more

Kim is great!! Her attention to details is excellent. Always fast service and for a great price.

Over charges. Ruined my dress and took no responsibility. The woman is extremely rude. I would never step foot in this place again. Shocked they are still in business read more

Really love this mom and pop store who take in walk ins and they are super fast. I took in 8 pairs of jeans and they matched the hems to the original stitching of each pair. They also did a very beautiful job on a wool crepe dress. I was super nervous about this couture dress but, the inside of the dress stitching looks great! I do sew, so I do know how the correct alterations should look. Down to copying the stitch size to match the original make. Very pleased and highly recommend this place! read more

Kim's Tailor - Store front - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

Great place if you need a tailor. The owner and her husband run the place and truly care about everything. Cute Place.

I love this place. They aim to please and do very good work. As corrected by another Yelper, original hems are not 8 dollars. I apologize for the mistake. However, they are very nice and do a good job. They did some work on Henry Winkler's (aka the Fonz from Happy Days) clothes. read more

Took a pair of pants for them to take a few inches off because they were to long. After picking them up and taking them home I noticed that nothing was done. When I took them back to get them fixed she then wanted to charge me again!!!! I would never come here again. They over charge and only take cash so beware DO NOT GO HERE! read more

I miss kims Tailor so Much! I've never met anyone who is so consistently amazing. They've flawlessly altered the waist on multiple designer jeans for me. What I love is that they do it in a way that the denim on the butt doesn't bunch as it does when many other places take in the waist. They also altered a bridal dress for me here. The dress was a terrible fit when it arrived, it was too big practically everywhere but the bust. Kim's tailor completely altered my dress, in less than a week, and it fit so perfectly that all the other bridesmaids wanted to know why my dress looked so much better on me than theirs did on them. I live in Colorado now and I have seriously contemplated flying out there to get a few bigger alterations done by Kim's tailors. I have never found anyone else who I trust like I do this business. read more

$70 for a a double layer bridesmaid dress. Cash only which was not convenient. Lady was quick/short but very sweet. Unsure how that compares in price to other tailors but Culver City prices definitely beat this one! In terms of the cut, fantastic! read more

Got two dresses shortened! Happy with how they turned out!! Reasonable price and quick turnaround time as well

I had been searching for a new pair of gray dress trousers for two years. My waist and inseam are difficult to find (28"x30"). I finally found a pair and the clothier does not hem the pant legs so that anyone with the waist size can buy them and have them tailored. That's all to say that I wanted to bring my hard-won pants to an experienced tailor. Kim's did an excellent, excellent job. I was in and out in less than 10 mins. The cost was also fair: $12. They were ready in a few days, pressed and the perfect length. They also patched up my favorite canvas backpack for $12. It looks brand new. I'm pleased with this efficient, expert shop, but I wouldn't expect anything less from a tailor with 30+ years experience. Note: they open at 10am and not 9:30am. read more

Bought some discounted slacks at Uniqlo for my graduation ceremony. Didn't fit as well as I'd like, so took it here. Around $20-30 for the slacks to be slimmed down. Pretty good in my experience. read more

Very rude. Overpriced and bad workmanship. Go to the other tailors down the street. Don't waste your time and money

Fast was the key reason I ended up here. They delivered on it, and cost wise, not that bad, as far as I can tell. Clothes have held up well, considering the way I treat clothing, which is borderline abusive. Tailoring can be an art, and for what it's worth, this place does an arty good job! Cheers read more

The owner is Korean and she was nice and friendly! The service and price are good.Since there aren't many tailors in my neighborhood I think I will be using their service in near future read more

I would give no star if possible. Parked in the back and wanted to check out this place because there is an upcoming event and I am in need of Tailoring a few suits. Anyway, even before I got to go in, the owner started yelling at me. I guess I parked in his spot, I apologized and started going to my car and he kept yelling at me and honking and calling me names. Wow! I was actually scared from his temper. I took a pic of him in his car in case he tried to do something to me. Awful man and his temper and whatever it was he was calling me is disgusting. Wouldn't want to drop my money there read more

I was going here for a while with some good results, some not, but sometimes she forgot to finish some items so I would have to go back. So then things are not ready on time. Worse, she then double charges you. The worst though is that twice she deliberately overcharged me by putting her hand over the total when she gave me the credit card receipt to sign. I wanted to think it was an innocent mistake. The second time it was a $20 bill but when I looked at receipt afterward she had charged my credit card $60. read more

When I got a tear in one of my favorite dress shirts, I thought it was beyond repair. The hole was right up front, next to a button hole. On a whim I took it to Kim's, and to my amazement, they were able to fix it! They had fast turnaround, reasonable prices, and friendly service. What more can you ask for? Best of all, though, one of my favorite shirts is saved. They definitely do quality work; you can barely see the repair. The owner speaks English pretty well, and you could tell she was genuinely happy to help. I can't recommend Kim's enough! read more

No customer service. I had two shirts and a jacket shortened. it is also pricey. you can find much cheaper places. However the woman will not acknowledge any complains you have. I alter my clothes because I want them perfect, but she would have none of it. She gets angry and annoyed very quickly. The sign of a good tailor is one that will allow you to try on the clothes after they have been altered and then offer to make small changes to make it fit you want. she will only do it if you pay the full price of the alteration again!!! never again. (edit) I would like to add: The work is very good though. Original factory level of work. Just a rough ride. I like a nice tailor since I go so often. I don't want to cringe every time i show up. read more

Went there to get some jeans hemmed. Service was fast, good quality, and reasonably priced. Would go back again.

Kim is the best! Kim knows what looks good and at what length. If I ask her to alter the length of my pants she will make suggestions based on my body shape and my height. I really appreciate how Kim works hard for her business and her husband who does the tailoring in the back is very sweet and very good with alterations. It's got a mom and pop shop feeling and I love supporting businesses like this. I would recommend Kim's Tailor to all my friends and anyone on here. read more

Great husband and wife alteration team. I took my size 36 diesel jeans and took 2" off the waist. It took one week to be ready. I don't know how they did it, you can't even notice. So happy, this will be my go to place for tailoring!! read more

I have been going to Kim's since the 90's on a recommendation from a friend. They always do a great job and the alterations are always perfect. I highly recommend Kim's! read more

Did not have my alterations done here, just wanted to say that I'm not sure what kind of deal Toodles got because original hem is $18, not $8, woman looked at me like I was crazy when I said that and told her that's what one of her customers put on Yelp. Again continued giving me the crazy look and said they've never been $8. So I went to Rancho Tailor & Cleaners, they have great reviews and they charge $10 for original and $6 for regular. I'll review after I get them back. Funny thing was she grabbed the jeans back from me and took out the pins, lol, really? Pretty sure I'm going to be remeasured at the next place. Plus, they were already pinned with my pins when I came in, I guess I should've asked for those back. read more

Lost in translation? Maybe. But when this Korean couple get what you want they do an amazing job altering your cloths. Yes, they are a little pricy for fancy alterations. However, your cloths will fit perfectly afterwards. For not very sophisticated things, they are reasonably priced. read more

I took a dress here last year because the zipper completely broke. They were very friendly, and the zipper works great now!

Always very pleased with the results! I found Kim through Yelp and been coming here since last year for my alteration needs. Skirts, dresses, pants, etc , you name it, i had them altered and hemmed and as expected, i've always been a happy customer. It's only a little bit pricier than those other places around West LA but it's WORTH it! read more

I called to get a price for a job that needs to be done and they thought I was a sales person and hung up the phone to my face.. Called twice after and never picked up the phone. What a great service! read more

They lost my suit and with a bad attitude said that happens, they refused to compensate me and they refused to pay me back the $85 that i paid in advance. i showed them the receipt that i paid $600 for it and asked them to reimburse me and they started yelling at me that they will try to find it. a month passed and they did not find it. i filed a small claims suite and won. Don't trust them. another customer had the same issue when i searched the public record. read more

I had pants altered there before and they did a decent job, so I brought a suit hoping to get the slim fit look. They took my measurements and were backed up with jobs, so they said they could only get it done in 3 weeks. I wasn't in a rush and figured they would do a better job if I gave them more time for it, so I said okay. The collection date comes around and they still weren't done with it. I asked to try the jacket for size and it was still too baggy for my tastes and I asked that they taper it a bit more. Instead of saying "OK," the lady there argues with me that it will look ugly, tapered waists are for girls, I'll ruin a good suit, etc. Despite my protests to have it taken in more, she laughed it off and kept insisting that it looked better her way. With all due respect, I know she is an experienced tailor and is entitled to her professional opinion. But the bottom line is that I am a paying customer and am entitled to have my suit fitted the way I want. If I want to look like a clown, for example, so be it because it's the customer's right. After trying to reason with her in vain, I paid what I owed and took the suit to another tailor who said "no problem" to my requests. I will not be going to Kim's again. read more
