San Carlos Plaza Dry Cleaners

Have been taking my dry cleaning here once a month for over a year now. They are friendly and do a high quality job. Prices are competitive. The evening hours are much appreciated as well. Only slight downside is it takes a few days with standard service, but I just plan ahead and it is no big deal. They have also done a great job with small repairs such as hemming.

Too expensive. Too slow. They expect two pants to take 4 days and add $ 1.50 per item to the job in two days. Do not recommend!
I would recommend going to Richard’s cleaners a few blocks north. They do the same job in 24 hours for 40% cheaper and they are much friendlier!

I had an unfortunate incident with an unpleasant tummy and got nasty things all over my pricey wool coat and dress. When I brought it in, it was nasty and terrible. I had some trouble explaining to the lady what was on the coat but through the magic of hand gestures, I got my point across.
She was very frank about the situation, telling me that she will have to have water on the coat to remove the things on the coat, and it might shrink. At first, I wanted to just do the side of the stain, but she convinced me that it is better to do both sides so even if it shrinks it is proportionate… and WOAH. I picked up my coat today and it was amazing! No more stains, and the coat didn’t shrink much at all. They did alot of work to remove the stains bit by bit, so they won’t shrink the coat! She was also very realistic about the possible outcomes and got me prepared.
Wheeeeeeeeeeee!

cant say enough nice things about this cleaners. thorough, quality work owned and run by the loveliest family. sun is so sweet and always remembers her customers, i never have to give my name. she is there six days a week, no exceptions. i could find a less expensive place but its worth it to know i am supporting a business that cares. will always go to plaza dry cleaners!

When my kids changed schools, I tried to find a dry cleaner a bit closer to their new school.
I didn’t realize how great we had it at SCDryCleaners & with Sun unitl I tried finding a replacement. I tried 5 other places (Belmont/​San Mateo)
After a few months, I returned. Been there ever since (2 more years) and remain a very happy and loyal customer.
Thank you Plaza Dry Cleaners & Sun!

5 stars for keeping business hours that actually work for working people, you know — the people who actually need dry cleaning.
See my review of the less intelligent ABC Cleaners for a related rant on this subject.

This place is awesome! They always do a fantastic job with our clothes. They get out stains that seem impossible. The other day, they even sewed on a missing button on my husband’s pants. It is this attention to detail and personable service that gets them 5 stars. I am also impressed that the woman who works there has memorized my name. That is pretty impressive considering how many customers they have! I will definitely continue to return.

Okay folks… we have not Unilocal’d in awhile but this place deserves a rating from us because of the disappointment we experienced with this place! OMG! DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE associated with this dry cleaner!!! I have no idea where all the 5 stars are coming from??? I (we) decided to bring our «articles of clothing» to this establishment for both dry cleaning and alteration needs based on the Unilocal reviews. What a mistake!!! First, the woman (some Unilocalers referred to her as «Sun») did not greet us and just looked at us with a blank stare when we walked in… STRIKE ONE! Second, she spoke very little English (not a complaint) so when the Mrs. tried to explain what she wanted altered the only reaction she got was another blank look! After going over the details of the alteration several times, «Sun» finally said that she would try and do what was asked but she did not guarantee that she could do it. Huh??? Just tell us whether you possess the skills to complete the task and move on! STRIKE TWO!!!
Lastly and upon picking up my dress shirts that were laundered and pressed, I discovered that several of my shirts had shrunk!!! STRIKE THREE, YOU’RE OUTTA HERE SAN CARLOS PLAZA DRY CLEANERS!!! The sleeves were a ½ inch short and now I have to wear my shirts with the sleeves rolled up. WTF! I should’ve just stuck with the dry cleaner that we have been using for years now but I wanted to try something new.

I think this is probably the best Dry Cleaning place i’ve gone to in the Bay Area. The prices are reasonable, the quality of cleaning is very good, they do alterations as well, and they seem to be able to get clothes back to you by whenever you need it. Friendly service and good hours as well.

I have used over a dozen dry cleaners over the years and I have to say that these guys are the best I have EVER seen. I do approximately $ 20 a week in dry cleaning and they have never lost an article, torn an article, or given me a poorly pressed/​clean item. Also, they remembered my name almost right away. I highly recommend this place.

very reasonably priced and quick service. I will never go to one of those «$ 1.99 per piece dry cleaners» again.

I will most certainly return here for all my Dry Cleaning needs.
Zak’s suit jacket was left behind at a wedding in SoCal a month ago and my cousin, instead of sending it back to us right away, allowed it to sit in a chair for the whole month… while her cat slept on it.
We needed it for Easter and so the Wednesday before we had her overnight it to us. she warned me of the cat hair issue before she sent it but… WOW. Let me give you a visual by quoting the UPS Driver when I opened the box in front of him, shall we? «Oh HELLL NA!»
ha! So, when I called the sweet woman here and told her my dilemma of needing this jacket cleaned so well that my boyfriend who is allergic to cats can wear it and I needed to pick up BEFORE SATURDAY in time for Easter … No Problem!
We got the jacket and he never knew the difference! Awesome.

5+ stars. Great service — our cleaned items are waiting for us at the counter as we get out of the car. She recognizes me, my boyfriend, and the dogs, from a distance!
I have also had several alterations done here — great quality and timing. So lucky to have this place right down the hill from home.

I wish I could write 50 5-​star reviews for this place! My husbandy started going to this place, as it is just down the street from our house and despite the $ 2.50 dry cleaners being closer, I just don’t ever feel like $ 2.50 worth of dry cleaning does the trick.
This place though!!! So, as I said he started going there and the first time I went to pick up the order, the lady was so nice and friendly! Guess what? The next time I went back (to pick up HIS clothes, mind you) she recognized me! Brilliant!
We have since been in together and separate and she always has our clothes pulled out and waiting for us before we even get through the door!
The prices are reasonable, but the value is key. They do an AMAZING job! They even got BBQ sauce out of a silk dress that I left! Alterations can also be done on site– she has successfully repaired several of my husband’s damaged suits.
Overall, wonderful. As good as it gets. Customer for liiiiiiyyyyfe!

We’ve been going to Sun for 4 years now and she’s amazing. They do everything well because they have amazing attention to detail. In addition to dry cleaning, they do everything for me from pressing complicated wedding dresses to finding/​repairing holes in clothes that I brought in to clean. All for a reasonable price! And my kids love her!

I’ve been getting my dry cleaning as well as laundering my dress shirts here for a couple years now and am always happy with the great service! It’s always a pleasure and i can’t recommend them enough! Sun, the woman at the counter, is super friendly and always recognizes my fiancée and me!

Fast service, cheap prices, and great jobs on both dry cleaning and alterations.

Awesome! Love them! Friendly service and great results! I never knew what I was missing before I started bringing my dry clean clothing here. Now, I wouldn’t feel comfortable going anywhere else!

This dry cleaners rocks my world. I found out that I had left a pack of gum in the chest pocket of a suit I had not worn in over a year. A weird sticky substance had claimed the inside of the pocket and portions of the inside of the jacket. It was a very sad situation.
Luckily, I found this place on Unilocal.When I brought the suit in and explained the situation they didn’t even laugh in my face, which was a big plus.
The suit came back as good as new. I will definitely be returning here for all of my dry cleaning needs.
Also, everything the other Unilocalers said about them remembering you and which clothes are yours is true. It’s actually kind of spooky.

Sun, the woman at the counter, is wonderful. I was a new customer, and had dropped off & picked up laundry only once before. The second time, I waited in the car with the baby, while my husband went in to get the clothes. He didn’t have a receipt and she knew which was our laundry just by looking at me! This is really fast, friendly service. I highly recommend them!
