Been going to Mr. Kim for around 4 years now and he’s never let me down. Fair prices and really quality, excellent work; from basic hems, repairs, to completely reconstructing a delicate garment. New location is right around the corner of his old shop

I bring all my dresses here to get tailored. Quick turnaround, consistent craftsmanship and have never had any issues with my garments. He moved down the street next to Stickies and no longer has cats. No more cat smell! Highly recommend!
