Hong Kong Custom Tailoring

I used to take all my tailoring needs to this shop… I discovered it back in the late 80s when I worked in the area… Kaspers hotdogs is next door… They did excellent work on all my leather and suede clothing (I had a lot) and the pricing was fair. Not too long ago, I took four items in for minor alterations… 1. hem pant legs 2. reinforce shoulder seams of jersey open-​tunic style top (suggested serging b/​c of how it was «pulling») 3. hem a wide skirt with an uneven hemline… b/​c it hung too long and I no longer wear the high heels needed to accent the look. I insisted that I wanted to maintain the uneven hemline effect… and, with the skirt on, indicated a mid-​calf cut off 4. correct a 2−3″ hem area on an oversized tunic top. OK… First, I could have done the work myself, altho the uneven hemline would have taken a bit more work/​time… AND, Secondly, Every piece was high quality clothing– ergo, take it to a professional… RIGHT… WRONG… NOT ONE ITEM WAS AS REQUESTED OR EXPECTED FOR THE SUM OF JUST UNDER $ 100… Never again… I think these are new folks… I noticed a little remodeling has taken place… All I know, is that I will NEVER USE or RECOMMEND this place again… BTW did I mention that my skirt looks like a mini-​skirt… at my knee… Folks, I tried it on and she pinned it… what happened??? No need to argue… I made a brief comment regarding my disappointment and left… lesson learned. Zero stars!

We have been using this business for 20 years and have always had good results. If they don’t think they can do a job to their standards, they let you know. Over the years, we have had the repair jackets, replace zippers and hem pants, including a pair of jeans that came back looking as if they had been done by the manufacturer.
I would call the service «businesslike» rather than rude, as some reviewers have. You aren’t going to get chit-​chat or questions about how your dog is doing. My only warning — they take cash.

Super sweet family business, they’ve always done a great job for me, quickly and at a great price! They’ll tell you if they can’t do something. Their daughter is way into good music and is building her own guitar, so fun to talk a little rock shop with her when I go in. A pleasure to patronize this local business. To the people complaining about their not being able to match the hem on your fancy jeans or the fact that English isn’t their first language, go away and stop being jerks. There are other alteration shops, best of luck to you. I give HK Tailoring the highest recommendation!

The place is close by and convenient and I decided to get my long dress for New Year’s Eve shortened way in advance so I went in last Friday and got it back on Thursday. There is a dressing room for you to change and Kim seems very nice so I decided to give this place a try. When I came to pick it up she was just finishing it up and another customer came in. He had to wait til mine was completed and told me he always comes here to get his suits altered so I will give her another try for future alterations

Thank god for this place, because I hate sewing. Been here twice, good quick service. I see some people complaining about rude service, but come on, its Hong Kong Tailoring!!! You’re getting treated just like you would if you were in HK. Deal with it.

Good quality work is most important so I give them 4 stars. If you want it back in a hurry… maybe 3 stars. A good and convenient tailor.

Bad service! Will never go there again! I walked in and she totally ignored me and was chatting with a couple. When she finally acknowledged me, she was very short and rude!
I was looking to get my pants hem. I ask to have the original hem place back on there. She said she couldn’t do that and insisted I go with the regular hem. I explained to her I didn’t want that… but she was very persistent. I explained to her the jeans were very expensive and I want to be guarantee the detailing and work will be perfect. She told me she didn’t care about the price and she couldn’t guarantee the work.
I told her I’m really upset with her customer service and I will take my money somewhere else. Bad customer service! Mean lady!

A nice family owned business. The tailor offers good service and judging from the items I bought in for alterations, she really knows what she is doing. She knows what looks right in terms of hemlines of dress pants and dresses. Items are ready in 2 – 4 days, but longer if she is really busy. Will go back and will recommend to my co-​workers. She makes me feel confident in my everyday wear.

Family owned business. Excellent work. Highly recommend.

I’ve needed last minute fixes on two pairs of pants on two separate occasions, HK came through both times within an hour. The charge was a little steep at $ 20, but it was rush and they did do a good job. I don’t mind paying them a little extra for my poor planning (one pair of pants needed to be taken up, the other pair needed to be let down to go with the shoes). Valuable lesson learned: try on whole outfits a week before job interviews. They are so close and convenient and came through for me 2 out of 2 times, I wouldn’t bother with anywhere else for minor alterations.

NO, speaka inglish here. And when the mother handed the phone to the daughter she gave me the price to their appartment for rent «No, blah blah, Adults only.”(sketchy)
I live in the neighborhood, and had to personally pay a visit to the store after two fail attempts over the phone inquiring price.
When I got there and «I «spoke in cantonese, they still seemed confussed, I question their competency.
I can’t give an opinion on their workmanship, but just having to deal with the mother and daughter, it was already frustrating enough.

My new dress to ring in the NY needed to be taken up a few notches.
HK promised me the work would be complete, I arrived on 12÷30÷10, on my way out of town, two hours later than what was on the slip and guess what?
My dress was still hanging on the wall.
The lady looked at me and said, «Oh, you needed it today?»
«Yes,» I said tersely.
SILENCE. No apology, nothing. I was so disgusted, I grabbed my dress and hopped in my car.
Before I left, she had the audacity to ask me for the pickup slip. I told her to go find it yourself.
I usually prepay for services, good thing I didn’t this time.
Always a firm believer in a silver lining: I rang in the NY with something more climate appropriate and it was tres chic.

I was amazed by the speedy service at HKCT. Brought in 3 pairs of pants for a little hemming on Wednesday morning and they were ready to be worn on Friday! I have a few other items that need tailoring (hey, I’m only 5’4″) and will definitely bring my business here.

I suppose the most important thing in a tailor is if they’re good at sewing, right? And these folks are: the suit jacket I took in for a slimming now flatters like the suits do in Mad Men, and the nine other items that needed hemming or miscellaneous stitching all came back repaired as hoped.
The only downside was price: I know it’s the bay area, but tailoring the suit was $ 50 and the other nine minor repairs were $ 10 each, totaling $ 140. Sure, that’s still less than replacing all of those items, but you might want to check with Snow White on Piedmont (whom we used when we lived over there) as I think I recall her being more affordable.
