Little J Cleaners

Kim is the best!!! I moved to downtown but I still bring my dry cleaning to her. She is also great tailor.

I can’t say enough about Kim’s tailoring/​sewing skills. Faced with the task of having to get alterations for mountaineering gear ahead of a climbing expedition, Kim was able to customize the fit and functionality that I required and that I need to rely on under very adverse weather conditions. The level of care and consierdation she gave to the project was really appreciated given this is not a sport most tailors are expected to be familiar with! It took some good conversation to make sure we were on the same page but all for the best as the end result was superb and I will look forward to climbing with confidence.

I’ve been using this cleaner since I’ve moved into the city. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. My shirts and pants are always delivered promptly. And whenever I have issues, they’re understanding and try to accommodate as best as they can. I’ve been happy with the service and will continue to use.

This little Js on 48^th/​2^nd is the best dry cleaners I’ve found in NYC. No matter what the situation they always seem to manage to fix it. They get out every stain whether I point it out or not. They fixed ripped clothing. They do an excellent job at everything. Additionally, Kim is an amazing tailor. She does a wonderful job in trimming suit pants or whatever else you need. She’s very friendly and knows what she’s doing. Place is also reasonably priced and always delivers on time. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

Went today for to have some shirts pressed, repeated twice that I was leaving tomorrow.
Came at 3.50 instead of 4.30 as they asked me. They weren’t ready. So I asked them to deliver. Well, they didn’t, and I’m leaving tomorrow and with no shirts!

For more than 20 years, I have been doing business every month with this dry cleaner. Though it is not in my neighborhood I make the trip here for all my dry cleaning and alteration needs because I always receive excellent services from Mrs. Kim. My clothes are dry cleaned very well and the alterations are done correctly and professionally. I wouldn’t go to any other dry cleaners. I highly recommend Mrs. Kim.

BEWARE OF THEM LOSING YOUR GARMENTS!!! UNPROFESSIONAL OWNER.
Dropped a bundle of clothes off on a Tuesday morning, and when I received them back, my $ 250 Hugo Boss skirt was missing. Upon closer look at the receipt, only my last name was listed, followed by a comma and then a first name listed as «Little» (my name is Jennifer). Further, my phone number was neither listed on the receipt, nor did they have it in the computer system!
Even the smallest, yet most important details necessary to run any kind of business were not properly recorded, including any indication of my expensive garment. Upon request for them to simply look around to see if they could locate the skirt, I was confronted with an irrational Korean woman who could not even understand the spelling of my last name, and couldn’t understand how my first name wasn’t «Little.» She refused to simply appease her customer by looking, frequently interrupted, and yelled back that she didn’t have the garment (again, without simply running the conveyor or glancing in the back).
Now I am out my skirt, and would strongly caution others who value their items to go somewhere trustworthy like Alpian’s a few doors down. It’s not worth the frustration and being out time, effort, a prized possession, as well as money to go to such a substandard facility for literally what amounts to just a few bucks less.
The woman who owns this place is unhelpful, does not know how to functionally communicate and is completely irresponsible. I’ve learned my lesson to always read the receipt and confront any issues before the clothes go out.

They charged $ 25 for dry cleaning my winter wool coat. Dropped off on Monday and they said a late Wednesday P/​U was OK. The place around the corner (Triple Eight?) wanted $ 1-​$ 2 less, but P/​U wasn’t until Friday. I went with LIttle J and have no major complaints. Friendly service.

Firstly, this place is overpriced! Secondly, I had left my two shirts there for a few weeks because I had been away. One day I was walking by the cleaners and the tailor harassed me. She started yelling at me saying that I have to pick up my 2 shirts and pay NOW! Don’t go unless you want to be harassed and yelled at by the tailor and have it ruin your entire day! THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! Clearly she does not know Unilocal exists. Whatever happened to treating customers with respect!

This place is absolutely terrible. I dropped off $ 95 worth of dry cleaning to get a call the next day telling me that one of my shirts was damaged and they couldn’t clean it. There was a rip in the sleeve of the shirt that was certainly not there when I dropped it off. They refused to provide any type of credit for the damaged shirt and proceeded to yell at me. When I asked to speak with the manager they had her call me the next day and she also yelled at me. It’s also pricier than other places in the neighborhood. I asked them to credit the cost I paid to have that shirt cleaned and an additional $ 10 to make up for the damage to the $ 40 shirt and they refused. This happened during my second time coming here — needless to say I won’t be back.

I adore Little J’s! I found them on a Saturday morning when I was trying to find someone who could wash and fold my clothes and get them back to me the same day. They promised that as long as it was turned in by 10am it would be possible. I have been going to them ever since. The clothes always back back perfect, they have never lost or damaged anything and the staff is very friendly and remember you by name. They also have a pick up/​delivery service I have used once or twice when I didn’t have the time to walk the clothes in.
I highly recommend Little J Cleaners.

Wow we love this place traveling from australia and spending a week at waldorf we desperately needed a laundry solution other than Waldorf at 9 dollars per underwear and over 30 for a thirst washed folded! We were thrilled with drop off overnight service and only had good experiences with our large bag of clothes less than 20

Okay they get two stars just for being OPEN. After two previous stops (Victor’s & Symphony) lugging two bags of dirty clothes, I was thrilled to find their doors open!
I about fell over when I was told it would be nearly $ 33 for 21 lbs. of clothes. I’d read earlier reviews of other cleaners with prices of $ 1 or so per lb. so was not expecting it to be significantly more. Oh well, it was cheaper than 2 of us checking bags. The clothes were done when promised (same day) and it seems we got everything back in good condition with a fresh smell.

Little J has reasonable dry cleaning prices and great quality tailoring services for a cleaner/​alterations combination location.
That said, you can DEFINITELY find cheaper places to have alterations done. They are well-​done but expensive.

I came across Little J’s Cleaners after having an awful experience at Alpians (see my review), just a few blocks away. Alpians wanted to charge me $ 40 to clean one dress! And, the dress was nothing special; just a regular Ann Taylor business dress.
So, as I was leaving Alpians very disgruntled, I came across Little J’s Cleaners. I asked a lady who was leaving the store if she liked Little J’s. She enthusiastically said yes, so I gave them a shot. I could not be happier! They charged me only $ 18 to dry clean my dress, and they did a fantastic job! Plus, it only took them like 3 days to dry clean my dress; Alpians is full of it when they said it would take several weeks because the dress required «special» dry cleaning. And, even better, Little J’s is organic! Dresses are normally $ 14 to dry clean (a little more than the $ 12 I pay at my neighborhood dry cleaners), but mine was a little more because the faux leather trimming takes a little extra care to clean. The little Asian lady at Little J’s could not be sweeter!
I could not recommend Little J’s any higher.
