Van Quan Tailor Shop

Van Quan is the place to go if you need any type of alteration work done.
From men & women’s suits, to shorts, to tennis apparels (shorts & skorts), to dresses (casual & evening gowns).
These people are professionals.
Not only they are good at what they do, they are super fast, and super CHEAP too.
We’ve tried different tailor shops over the years.
Van Quan’s workmanship ranks top consistently.

I have been coming to this place for over ten years. The owner is extremely nice and prices are so cheap for the good quality work he does. He remembers me every time I come in and even knows my sizes off the top of his head and knows exactly what I want done when I have a pair of jeans to be restyled. If he doesn’t remember he has my measurements on a piece of tape on a wall which makes me feel important haha. I live in Irvine and I go out of my way to drive to him because I know it will be a great job and nice to pick up some Vietnamese food as well.

I’ve been going to this Tailor shop for more than 10 years even though I’ve moved a few hundred miles away. I always bring pants that need hem alterations to them whenever I visit my family in the area. The owner is a nice, easygoing guy and they always deliver on-​time with professional results and very reasonable pricing. Suggestion: bring cash as I don’t recall if they are setup to take credit cards yet.

Ive been tailoring my clothes here for over over 5 years. Ive had suits tailored, pants hemmed and taken it, dress shirts taken in, etc. Ive been to this shop well over 10 times and am always impressed with the quality of work, fit, and prices.

Had two things done; sleeves hemmed on a lined wool coat and pants hemmed on an unlined pants. Both came out great and it cost me only $ 16. The store is located on the top floor towards the FRONT of the mall. Parking is HORRENDOUS at this mall. At least there is a Zagat rated phở restaurant and a great food court while you are there.

Let me start off by saying you don’t have to be Asian or speak any other type of language other than English when you go to this tailor. I spoke entirely in English and he understood. Otherwise a little gesturing with your hands will suffice. I just moved to Long Beach and was in need of a good tailor. Checked Unilocal and came to the Van Quan Tailor shop in the Asian Garden Mall. I needed my new suit tailored. The man there isn’t very talkative which is great since he’s not selling me anything. He’s a tailor not a used car salesman. He knew how much to take up the sleeves and where to shorten the pants. I did ask him to take in the waist on my suit and he complied. I was in and out there in under 10 minutes. He knows what he’s doing. I got an entire suit tailored to me for $ 44. The turnaround time was 4 business days. This is my new tailor. Excellent tailoring at an amazing price. Worth the 20 minute drive from long beach.
FYI: This place is cash only due upon pickup.

I always come here for my tailoring. Thanh is great. Ask for him or any of his staff. They do a great job for less. The place is a little ghetto but hey for $ 4 hem can’t ask much.

My «go to» place for most of my tailoring needs. His prices are are more than reasonable ($ 7 for jeans and keeping original hemming!) and turnaround time is relatively fast (they do offer same day if they are not overly busy). Yes, it’s a small shop and you may have to wait a bit on very busy days, but I’ve been coming here for years now and have never left disappointed.
I’ve had jeans, slacks, dress shirts, t-​shirts and jackets tailored and they all came out great! The only item he wasn’t able to tailor was a leather jacket. =P
Quick tip: on busy days, just park on the side streets. Much easier parking and easy to get in and out, avoiding that mass confusion called «the parking lot.»

The Good: Good tailor at reasonable prices. I was referred here when I bought some jackets and they were a bit long in the arms, damn these t-​rex arms. He did a great job and it only took the weekend to finish it. He also cut off all the labels, tags, opened up pockets and whatever they do to the tail. I have not clue why the sew everything up on jackets.
The Bad: He wasn’t the friendliest guy. I was standing in his small room for a few minutes, while he finished cleaning the place. A hello would have been fine. I don’t feel a sense of urgency.
The Ben: It’s located in a crazy busy mall, the Asian Garden Mall.

Quick, inexpensive and great quality tailoring. Usually has a day turn around for hemming, which is what I mainly get done here. My friend always makes me try it on afterward, which I recommend, but I rarely have an issue.
If you’re having your pants hemmed, make sure to wear the shoes you think you’ll wear the most with those pants, that way the length will be perfect. Most of the women who get their pants hemmed usually wear heels, so they have a few pairs (albeit in small Asian sizes) in the dressing area just in case you forget to bring your own. I personally get my work slacks done, and I generally wear flats, so I don’t like to keep my hem long. Each to her own.

The owner is always professional & pleasant, and their alteration work is good enough. Their prices are OK/​comparable to other similar tailoring establishments nearby. Parking is always horrendous — stay away on the weekends. I took in 3 items to be hemmed up and was promised that they’d be ready in three days. When I came back to pick up my clothes — in 3 days @ 4pm as instructed, nothing, not even one single stitch, had been done. I guess they did not value me as a loyal client — very poor customer service.

I was first introduced to this place from my Vietnamese friend and have never turned back. This place is great! I typically just get the $ 4 hem. They do such a great job I honestly don’t think you need to do the original hem. I usually bring in my clothes batches @ a time & it typically takes them 2 – 3 days. But I know they also do same day alterations if needed. They are fast, clean & precise!
Not only are they cheap but I believe they are honest people and don’t try to milk you for your money the way other places do.
You will NOT regret getting coming here! I guarantee it!

Last time I was here I had a pair of jeans hemmed for $ 7 and kept the original hem. I’m no expert on tailoring, but I was hard-​pressed to notice any signs of poor work.
Did I mention I got the pair back within a couple hours? Judging by the moderate amount of research I’ve done on this topic, the rates the friendly proprietor charges for his craft are borderline jaw-​dropping. Jeans can be hemmed for as little as $ 4 if the original hem isn’t kept and pricing on other alterations are more than worth the while of finding parking and this little shop on the 2^nd floor of Asian Garden Mall.

i’ve been coming here forever… you won’t get a better price anywhere. if they’re not really busy, they’ll do a couple pants in an hour.

I started getting my alteration done here since it’s a friend uncle’s place. They do a great job with hemming jeans/​pants with the original seam line or just original cut hem. Super fast service upon request, where I’ve had jeans hemmed up within a few hours for a special night on the town. Parking may be a hassle and the walk inside the mall but I say it’s worth the derby.

confession: i frequent this place about twice a week, to drop off and pick up. a bit excessive you think? well, when you stand about 5’2, every single article of clothing, sans some t-​shirts/​tank tops, needs to be nipped/​tucked/​hemmed. located on the 2^nd floor of the vietnamese mega-​mall phuc loc tho (sp?) in little saigon, van quan’s walls are lined with bespoke mens blazers and jackets galore… i immediately knew i would like this place. i have had too many bad tailoring jobs at korean-​run cleaners-​cum-​alteration places that are overpriced. upon entering, the kindly bespectacled uncle-​esque store owner will direct you to the changing room and he will professionally and accurately pin your hemlines just by eyeballing the clothing item!
last but not least… the rates are incredible. he does original hem for 12 dollars (!!) and regular hems for 6 – 7 dollars (no joke). jacket arm lengths are corrected for 8 bucks. items will be usually ready in two-​three days, just tell him you want it the earliest possible. if there is no rush, it will be ready within the week anyway.
ending on an economic note: extend the shelf life of your old clothing by having it tailored, ie turning maxi dresses into minis, flared pants into skinnies. NOW you understand my addiction to this place? :)
