On Monday I dropped off a pair of pajama pants to be hemmed before we leave on vacation so the family can wear matching pajamas on Christmas Day. The lady stated it will be ready Wednesday. I go to pick it up at 2:30 pm on a Wednesday, and it still isn't ready. At the time I had a million things to do before our trip, and on top of that a very tired 1 year old. I needed to get him home for a nap, and didn't have time that day to pick it up later, so I took the pants back with me. So so frustrating. If you state you'll have them ready by Wednesday and don't specify a time, they should be ready. PERIOD. Plus, charging $12 for a pair of pajama pants? A bit hefty if you asked me. Take your business elsewhere. read more

I can't recommend this business enough!!! They are so good at what they do. I have been bringing them things to hem for quite awhile and they always do a wonderful job. They have helped me out several times when I really needed a quick turnaround on something! They are pleasant to customers and are quite skilled at their work. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for tailoring work to be done skillfully read more

Brought in a casual dress shirt to get the sleeves & length of the shirt shortened couple of weeks ago. I requested the shape of the bottom of the shirt remain the same, curved on the sides. Also brought in 3 work dress shirts to have the sleeves shortened only. Came in on a Monday morning, they said it would be ready by Saturday 2pm. 2:30pm Saturday I get a call that they are behind & won't be ready until 3:30pm. I said I'll just pick it up on Monday, no rush. Came in Monday, little buttons are not sewn in & it should take 10 min while I waited. I'm a little irked but the sleeves on all shirts were fine. But the casual shirt bottom was straight with only a very slight curve, it didn't retain the normal dress shirt curve like I asked. Also once buttoned, the two sides on the bottom wasn't flush. I asked them to fix both issues & they said it will be ready by Saturday. I come on Saturday & the buttons weren't sewn in again? But worse yet the curve is now too high so the front & back look very pointy. And two sides on the bottom were still not flush. Disappointed & no longer did I want them to work on it anymore I just took my shirt & left. I already paid $15 for the sleeves (price went up) & $12 for the hem. Sigh. I will look for another shop to fix the mistakes on the shirt. read more

Thank goodness for these guys. I was a little skeptical about the reviews here when I arrived to a what looked like a shanty shack. The place is small, old looking, and a little on the ghetto side but hey, they did well! I would have to say that I'm a little on the picky side but even so, I'm even lazier to drive somewhere farther to get an alteration. So I brought my Theory dress pants into the shack and they told me to try it on, blah blah blah. Story ends with them doing a good job, and DID NOT ruin my slacks (I was scared). Also it's pretty darn cheap too. 6 dollars for an alteration. You Asian families that run alternation shops at your home better watch out (or lower your prices)! read more

In the last several years, I've brought in approximately 7-8 pairs of jeans to be hemmed. The work has always been done very well, and to my specifications. Only once has my pick up time been slightly delayed; so it's wise to call and confirm a completion of order. I've only dealt with Delfa (who has a pleasant and friendly demeanor, and is accommodating to the specifics of your order). I definitely recommend these guys! Also, the prices are competitive and parking is easy. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I had read the reviews and chose this place, over others, based on their good experience. I have to admit that I'm quite disappointed, and I'm yet to receive my things back 72 hours after the agreed time. The person there was very nice and helpful. She had mentioned that she may not be able to have my things ready on Friday afternoon, that if I could pick them up on the weekend. I told her that I wasn't able to pick them up on the weekend, and that I would be okay to pick them up on Monday morning. So after the weekend, I drove here first, thinking that my things would be ready with the additional 72 hours given. I show up opening time on Monday and nothing is ready. I was asked if I wanted to wait for my things for an hour. I told them I had to be ready for work already and that I would have to pick them up later during the day. I called at 2:00 pm again, to confirm that I would be picking my things up to get the reply "One more hour." I rarely critique things. I understand that working with the public is not always easy. My work requires above average patience, but how long do I have to wait for something I was told would be ready by 4pm on a Friday? I understood and I was the one that said "don't worry about it", and that I would be willing to wait until Monday. I'm not sure how to feel about this situation, especially critiquing some small mom & pop place like this, but it's not fair for me, as a client, when a simple answer could have been given. I would have not minded if they said a week, or more time, but don't tell me a different time twice and not be ready. At this point, I'm just waiting to see how my garments ended up. I'll have to update this review later, if necessary. This place takes cash only, so make sure you're prepared. read more

I found Mike on yelp and thought I would give him a try since I frequent the area. So,.. I have a habit of buying pants that are too long and actually wearing them as they drag on the floor. Finally deciding get them hemmed and hemmed right, I stopped by Mike's arms laden with pants. The first pair of pants were absolutely perfect. Went well with flats or heels. My second set (series of 5 pairs) were good as well. They're quite busy but the woman who helped me stayed late(!) to get mine done a few days early since I was starting a new job. Reg pant hems will set you back $6, pants with lining are about twice that. Next test: dress fitting. Edit 1/24/08: Took synthetic silk (rayon really) skirt to be completely re-sized. Nothing too crazy (I thought) - just need the skirt to be shortened FROM THE TOP. No extra darts, no fancy ribbing. I got it back and it was HORRIBLE. Not only was it about 6 sizes too big (skirt was cut on a bias - bias cut fabric will stretch out of shape oddly if not done right) but raw edging of the fabric was sticking out of the top! Realizing that the fit was completely off, she offered to correct it by adding additional seams. I thought that to mean darts. Not so. When I arrived the second time, she had 'forgotten' about the adjustment and made me come back. By my third visit, I had given up and picked it up without looking at it. When I got home, I noticed that the "seams" she put in were not darts at all. She just took larger (ie, HUGE) seam allowances from the existing side seams. Now I have a skirt that fits (barely - skimming off really), with weird bunches on the side (from extra fabric), feathering at the top (from unfinished edges) and a 2" zipper. I could have done a better job! In which I have to ask myself why I paid $12 for this? Sigh. I will attempt to correct the horror that is the skirt and vow never to bring them anything other than pants to hem. Thus the amendment. I dropped another star after this incident. read more

I brought in a pair of nice golf pants I had just purchased, but needed to have shortened. They finished the work within the specified time and with excellent results. In fact, when I picked them up, I wasn't sure they had altered them before I tried them on. That's how professional the hemming was! Overall, I am very happy with the results, and the price cannot be beat at $6! read more

Sweetest lady and son combo run this shop. She takes care of all my tailoring needs. Great turn around time great service. Service: 5 stars Price: 5 stars Awesomeness: 5 stars read more

Ive taken everything from suit coats to pants here. They always do a great job. Excellent job on tapering my pants. Will go back again

Always amazing and on time. She even went to downtown to get a custom color zipper!!!

Fantastic little place. Went in there at 10am and needed a jacket and pants shortened/altered. Got it done by 4pm same day and for an amazing price! $25! Great service, great job! This is my new spot for any of my tailoring needs. read more

I'm a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding and came across probably the worst dilemma a bridesmaid can face. A dress that is too small! Yikes! I needed help ASAP and i found Mike's Tailor shop here on yelp and crossed my fingers that they could save me! And they did. The mother and son that run this place are super sweet and they did a great job on my dress. Luckily I had some extra fabric from a shawl and the hem that they were able to use and turn my dress from too small to a perfect fit. I will definitely use them again. read more

A friend recommended that I get original hem ($9) done at this place for dark wash jeans. I went on a Saturday afternoon, found a parking spot in the lot easily, and was greeted by Joe with a friendly smile. I tried on the jeans for him to measure, which he did carefully. I appreciate that he asked if I would be wearing shoes (heels) of that height with the jeans. He said that original hem wouldn't be necessary, so I just got regular hem at $6, with $2 more for the jeans to be ready by Monday. I don't think the extra charge was necessary, but maybe it's because it was the weekend. Can't complain since it's cheap and the hem's decent. I just wish now that I had worn flats instead as the jeans are a bit long to wear with flats, but that's my bad. This place only takes cash. read more

I have been using Mikes service for quite a while now. Even though I didn't get to challenge him with anything difficult, I am pretty happy with his friendly service and speedy turn-around time. Sometimes they can get it done in the same day. Reasonable rates too! read more

I brought a new suit here for some alterations. The lady was very helpful at measuring my body and getting the suit to fit perfectly. The suit was done in 4 days. The work is very good i couldn't tell it has been altered. Sleeves $18, waist $22, pants hem $7, total $47 tax included. I would come back again even though it's a 20 min drive for me. read more

I usually go to the alteration at Las Tunas because they are cheap but unfortunately it took them almost two months to do simple alteration for 3 dresses and paid $25 each just to be shortened the length. I started looking for different alteration place and I came here because of good reviews. I just need to have my dress shortened but the lady charged me $65 which almost the price of my dress and the hem was not even the original one. read more

Five stars for the excellent service from Elfa and very fast turn around for the clothing I needed altered at such a great price. I will definitely be going back for any alterations I need for any of my clothing. anyone looking for your clothing to be altered in any way, please go Mike's Tailor Shop you will not be dissapointed. read more

I agree with Henry M's review. I had two pair of pants hemmed here. Althought the price was cheap (less than $10), the quality and attention to detail is lacking. To be fair, it wasn't horribly done, but it wasn't that good either. read more

I've taken several garments here for alterations over the years. Pants, skirts, formal dresses. I've always been satisfied with the quality of work and the turn around time. I'd rather drive 15 minutes there and 15 back and pay them rather than doing it myself. And the price is always reasonable, even lower than the dry cleaners. read more

Took my suite to get fitted. Took them only 2 days to finish! Was amazed by the detail and time it took them. Would definitely come back again to get my stuff tailored. Thanks! read more

Damaged my dress. I took a dress with crystals which needed to be shortened and their machine ripped off two of the crystals And left holes in the very delicate fabric. Will not ever go back read more

I've been coming to this tailor shop for at least 20 years. They were originally in Temple City. The owner is very friendly, efficient and extremely competent. I have recommended her to all my friends that have ever asked, if I knew of a good tailor. Besides being very good, she is quite inexpensive. I'm feel very fortunate to have her not too far from where I live. read more

Fast turn around and a good job. I've used them for about four garments now.

I couldn't be happier with my experience here. Came here on Friday to get a new suit tailored instead of driving out to West LA to my usual tailor. I usually wear my suits extra slim, and she pinned me up exactly the way I wanted without arguing (I'm used to tailors trying to tell me that what I want is too slim and won't look good). I didn't expect the suit to be perfect after the first fitting, but it came out exactly the way I wanted! I was very surprised and happy. Will be back for all my future tailoring needs! read more

Brought in my uniform pants to get them hemmed and have my stripes sewn on. I said I don't need them rushed and he said 4 days and they will be done. The day before they were supposed to be done they called and asked if they could take another day. Sure thing. They were ready to go then next day and looked good. $6 for the hem and $15 to do the stripes. read more

I was searching for a shop to alter two pairs of pants I had recently purchased for work. Searching Yelp, I came across this store and decided the reviews were good enough (to my liking) to bring my clothing items in. Not only was the man working in the shop extremely nice, but he quickly pinned the bottoms of my pants to my altered liking. Additionally, I paid a meager $12 for two pairs of pants to be altered, and only needed to wait about a day and a half. However the only downfall is this store only takes cash...... read more

A lady named Deifa hemmed two of my dress pants and tightened up a dress shirt. I am very happy with her quality of work. Prices are reasonable. $7 hemmed pants. I will be back for many more alterations. read more

These guys can do the basic jean or pant hem but they can't be trusted with anything more advanced. I took a skirt which was size 8 to be taken in to a size 2/4 (my size) and paid extra $25 for both sides to be taken in, but they totally didn't measure me correctly and took in the sides unevenly. The right side was clearly more taken in than the left side and the skirt hung lob-sided on me. When I asked them if they noticed, one of the guys even said "it's because you only took in one side". I actually paid extra to have both sides taken in, sir. They basically ruined my skirt and now one side is more scrunched than the other. I'm disappointed that even though they took my measurements, they still couldn't get the skirt right. read more

I've only used the tailor service at Mike's once, and I'm pretty pleased with my results. I dropped off 5 pairs of jeans, ranging from expensive Citizens to some cheap $20 Mossimo's from Target. The hemming was perfect on 4 pairs of jeans, the thread color matched perfectly. Pretty good deal for 6 bucks a pair. However, my cheapo jeans from Target were a bit off. The seams were well done, but one leg is hemmed about an half an inch shorter than the other. Since these were pretty cheap jeans, and I only plan on wearing them for everyday errands, it's not a big deal. However, I do expect even leg lengths on all my pants, regardless of price. I plan on going to Mike's again, so let's see how they work out the next time. read more

They do a very professional job of hemming pants for a reasonable price. We have been going to them since they were in Temple City. They also altered a suit for my son and did a nice job. read more

I brought 3 pairs of pants for a simple hem job. I told the gentleman exactly what I wanted done. When I picked them up and tried them on at home, they were ALL too long. I called them to see if they could fix the problem. The lady said she would redo them for me without charging me again. However, when I went back, she changed her tune. It was frustrating to waste my time and gas for that matter. The price is right BUT MAKE SURE YOU TRY ON THE PANTS THERE!!!!! read more
