L & A Tailoring

Patched my worn down 7 For All Mankind jeans like new, and have him hemmed all my high end jeans like 7’s. Awesome job! In, out, done. Quick and very well priced.

Just moved to North Park from Ocean Beach. Figured Id try a local tailor. The place had good Unilocal reviews. Had a pair of true religion jeans that are wearing down at the hem. He flat out said he couldn’t repair them. And did so in a very rudely
Drove back down to my old tailor in Ob and she was able to fix them like new.
This place is a joke. I highly recommend looking for somewhere else for repairs to your nice denim.

I needed some patches sewn on to the front and back of my jiu jitsu gis and not only did i get them the next day, but the work was excellent and the price was amazing. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone in San Diego in need of a great tailor!

Been there twice. A year apart. Minh is a perfectionist with 50, yes 50 years experience In tailoring. He is like a Jedi. Had two blazers taken in, one extensively. I got a great deal on a suit but I’m 6’3″/193# and the suit was made to fit a refrigerator. After Minh was done, it looked like a $ 1500 custom made suit. He won’t be doing this much longer so get your stuff to him.

I’ve been to several tailors around North Park and University Heights, and can say that L&A Tailoring is the best. Minh’s work is super neat and I’ve never had a bad experience here. NOTE: payment is cash only.

Great service just too pricey. $ 13 to hem pants? No thank you, other places charge $ 8! 2 pants for the price of 3! Total bummer!

Minh is absolutely the best! I’ve brought in several items, and they all fit perfectly. I brought in a dress from jcrew that needed to be adjusted on the top because it fit too loose and Minh tailored it beautifully. I’ve also asked him to shorten a blouse and jeans. The blouse fits like a glove and he even sewed the edges, which when I purchased it, were not sewn. So he went above and beyond. I was hesitant to bring in the jeans because they’re quite expensive and only needed to be hemmed about an inch. But that inch made all the difference and they look and feel so much better!

All I can say is WOW! Minh helped me out when I was in a huge pinch for a wedding. My cousins wedding was that day in SD and I was one of the bridesmaids. I put my dress on that morning and the whole back zipper of the dress completely fell apart. It was around 8am that morning and I was on a hunt to find a tailor that was opened. After visiting 3 other tailors that could not help and said it was a lost cause, I found Minh. He was so nice and so hopeful. He even opened his store early just to help me out. Nevertheless did an AMAZING job with an incredible price! He saved me! My cousin would have been so upset showing up to her wedding with a broken dress. Thank you Minh!

I went in to have two pairs of pants taken in in the seat area, it did not seem like a huge task, but he was very uninterested and told me I would be better of returning the pants. He spent a total of 1 minute with me…

I can never find things that fit! I found him about 4 years ago and have been happy ever since. Great pricing, done when he says it will be and great hours, open till 7!
I would recommend not picking things up early, he stays busy so if he says one week he means one week. But its done and correctly. He is always help full and happy! I wish I was happy all the time, go in and walk out with a smile!
Parking can be a pain but he is located at North Parks busiest corner! Use the parking garage or off 29^th St. Don’t make a U turn the cops will get you there!
I drop off on Monday and it’s always ready saturday. I tend to have a lot of hems done, so I can’t comment on a wedding dress.

Great tailoring. He is really honest regarding what he’s capable of and will turn down a job that might damage your product. Cash only is somewhat annoying and he doesn’t always follow up when your item is done.

Did a fantastic job. Prompt service. Very friendly. Attention to detail. I took my suit in. He mad something that fit and look ok, fit and look great.

Minh is extremely talented and so efficient. I’ve had him alter suits, pants, shirts, you name it, and everything comes out so perfectly hemmed and tailored. My wife has had a number of dresses and evening gowns taken in by Minh and she is always impressed by how nicely they turn out. Prices are very reasonable and he makes sure to get your garment finished on time.

I had ordered a fairly expensive winter coat online. When it arrived I discovered the sizing ran large. I liked the coat but didn’t love the fit and considered sending it back, but I wouldn’t have been able to get one in the size I needed. Enter L & A tailoring.
I took it in and he was able to see exactly what needed to be done. A few chalk marks and I was out the door. When I picked up my coat and tried it on, I not only liked it, I loved it.
Minh is professional and quick. To some, he may seem brusque but I liked my interaction with him and when I couldn’t find my receipt it didn’t matter because he remembered me right away. I love his work and am very glad to have found such an excellent tailor. I won’t get too stressed now when something I like doesn’t quite fit.
What a find.

Great results. I trust this place with my life. After getting something altered I always kick myself for not coming sooner. Why am I walking around with clothes that don’t fit? Pricing is reasonable, cash only and parking is well, difficult depending on the time of day. I love this place and would recommend it to anyone looking for quality work at a good price!

Had to get multiple suites altered here. Was reasonably priced and the work was good. Turn around I was able to negotiate. Thanks!

What. A. Life. Saver. I had to do a last minute alteration before a trip and was willing to pay double! He so was willing to help me out and I will forever be in debt to this man.

I found Minh via Unilocal about a year ago. I am so happy that the reviews were accurate!
I ordered a bridesmaid dress that was about 4 sizes too big. I went to a different tailor and they made it too too tight and refused to fix it! I went to Minh feeling very stressed out. He was able to loosen up the dress to fit perfectly! I felt comfortable and confident wearing my dress.
After my first visit, I have gone a few other times for dresses, blouses, jeans, etc. I am petite so sometimes it’s difficult to find things that fit just right… tailoring is a great option.
He is reasonably price and does a great job! I love having clothes (especially dresses) that actually fit me! So happy I found L & A Tailoring! :)

I imagine I’m not the first person to experience my scenario so scroll further down if this sounds familiar:
One of my suits was already at the cleaners and I just bought a new suit but it needed some tailoring. The only problem was it was going to take two weeks for a turnaround and I had an interview in just a few days so I needed to get it tailored quickly.
I took my pants here to get tailored and they were able to get them done the same day and also remeasured my pants to ensure they would fit properly. I came in early in the morning and got my pants finished by four o’clock that afternoon… at the same cost it would’ve cost me to get my suit tailored at the store I bought them from; something Rack, I can’t recall the name ;)
Im sure they would’ve done a good job at the store but two weeks was too far away and while I’m not always looking for instant gratification if it costs the same for a less than 24 hour turnaround why would I wait?

Ming is a masterful tailor! I’ve been taking my dress suits to him for the past 4 years with yet a problem. He is the first tailor I’ve ever had that everything was done on time as quoted.
If you can find me a better tailor than Ming let me know in central San Diego. Good luck.
«All Hail MING!»
