It was Mr. Kim's idea to make the slip shorter than the lace overlay because he is a GENIUS.
Daphne R.

I have avoided posting this review for a very long time. I would rather gatekeep. This is my secret drycleaning spot, Mr. Kim is my tailor, etc. Unfortunately, there are low reviews that are so outside the scope of my almost monthly (if not bi-weekly) visits. I have to say something. Service: Friendly and careful. They always make sure they understand what I need. If it's not super speedy, the customers are mainly to blame. I know I take a minute explaining things. Cost: By far, the most reasonable prices I've come across and I live walking distance from at least four dry cleaning spots. Most things are at LEAST half the price of other places. Tailoring: Mr. Kim is the main reason I'm addicting to getting almost every article of my clothing tailored. I exclusively shop at thrift stores and this is how I justify this expense. He's respectful, efficient, and never makes me feel weird for wanting everything shorter and tighter. There's a bit of a language barrier, but this is just another reason to learn some Korean. My advice is that you walk in rather than ask for a quote over the phone or through Yelp. Even if you're an hour away, they're likely much less expensive than your local options. You also have to communicate what you need clearly. If there are stains or spots that you're extra concerned about, point them out! In conclusion, I'm a regular and I'll continue to be a regular. I recommend them very highly.

Damaged leather coat
Mikey W.

My wife and I came in this morning around 10 am to get her leather coat's sleeves shortened. Shockingly, Mr. Kim put a safety pin on her sleeve instead of marking it. It was horrifying to watch him damage beautiful genuine leather like that. He said it was to mark the stitch but the stitch should've been hidden under her sleeve anyways. The front guy Henry watched the whole thing happen and felt awful. Such an unfortunate, careless interaction. We immediately left with a damaged leather coat :( Never ever trust a tailor that pins leather to mark. Needless to say, we're never coming back

We used La Brea Cleaners as our main place to get laundry done, and before they were very inconsistent with how long it took. Sometimes it would be several days, and other times they told me it took over a week. I also had a specific request about what to do with the laundry (I just wanted it to not touch the clean cloths) and it was honored 2/3's of the time. Most recent batch of laundry had dirt and stains all over and I think we'll probably not come back here. I'm very disappointed with the quality. Feels like it was poorly done and we had to wait a week to get it.

I adore this place. This is a business run by mom and son. The son is always cheerful, helpful and…read morejust a wonderfully kind person. Very friendly. I don't live close but the alterations done on my clothes have been so amazing it is worth the drive. I have taken my oversized suits, formal dresses and gowns to get them altered and you would think I bought it that way. Incredibly professional and such a delight to visit. It can be pricey but I think when you are altering very expensive clothing, it is worth it. Especially with the way clothes are made so by heap nowadays. If you have a good base/foundation to work with and good fabric... do what I did and save the clothes! Get them altered here. You won't be sorry

Part 1 of the experience-…read more So far the service one would expect from a Mom (Maria) and Son (Fernando) duo is what's expected- Excited (The Son Fernando); attentive (The Mom Maria); engaging ( the Son Fernando compliments women picking up wedding dresses and talks sports with the fellas)- All AMAZING qualities to keep customers coming back- Especially on Saturday - Depending on what you are looking for in customer service, although AMAZING, the attention and excitement could be overwhelming- The customer service experience appears to be built on excitement and immediate response to customers entering the shop- We ALL like immediate response and attention to detail, however, we have our movements when we want calm, cool and collective- Wedding dresses were being picked up quickly, on time and without complaints from 4 soon to be Brides, a prom dress was being altered, while Maria took alterations in my three piece suits- Lastly, suit bags or other agency cleaner bagging options for your clothes will not be held or accepted. Instead, they ask that you take the bags you bring the clothes in, back home with you- be prepared to leave with the bags you bring- Attention to detail will be instrumental in the final review of the experience, as this is my first time using their services- Stand bye- May 19
