Embo Cleaners I

Love this place!!!
I have been bringing my stuff to Embo Cleaners for about two years now and they have always done a great job! Also they aren’t too expensive at all. They make sure I get my stuff within a a day or two from the day I bring my clothes in. They altered a dress for me this Summer and it can out perfectly. The exact length I wanted it and a really clean hem line.
The reason I’m writing this review so late into going to Embo is because, they did something so great for me this Summer that I had to write the review! I brought in two new white shirts that I had cleaned at home that had gotten rust stains all over them when I let them air dry on my old shower rod. I was freaking out because they looked so bad and I had only worn both of these shirts once! I brought them into Embo hoping they could get the stains out. They not only got them out they used a liquid that completely took it out within seconds and didn’t charge me dime!!! I was so ecstatic! I now have my two beautiful white shirts back to the way they looked when I bought them! AMAZING!
Love Embo! Thank you!

horrible service.
i brought in two of my wifes dresses to be altered. i specifically told the girl working that it is to be shortened by 10 CM. not inches, CM. i told her 3 times to be sure as i know most people think in inches. she got it. i watched her use the measuring tape and put a pin to mark the spot at 10 CM. ok, i’m thinking we are good. sure enough, when we go to pick up, they did it at 10 inches. HUH??? after telling her 3 times and watching her do it correctly, it still came out wrong?!?
the owner was being a complete ass about the situation, even though he knew they made an error. he informed us that their tailor actually called before starting as the work order said 10 inches and the pin on the dress was obviously marked at 10 CM. rather than calling me to make sure they went ahead and did it wrong.
the owner called over the girl who took my order and asked if she remembered me. she said yes. i asked her, do you not remember me telling you 10 cm and me watching you mark the correct spot? her response, «no you told me 10 inches». now i’m upset because she is flat out lying to me and her boss because she’s afraid to get fired.
at the end of the day, if they simply said, sorry there has been a mistake, how can we make this right, then hey no big deal. i’ve been coming here for years and the owner was always really cool. not this day though. he was more concerned with deflecting blame than anything else.
finally he agrees to give us the money for the two dresses, which were brand new by the way but now insists he gets to keep the dresses. he says, «they are mine, i just bought them from you» uhh no, thats not how it works. i did not sell him the dresses. the money given is compensation for ruining them. the dress still belong to me. i would rather give to goodwill then let this guy keep him.
anyway, i needed to get out of there before i lost my cool so i let them keep the dresses and left with $ 90.00.
truly unfortunate the way we were treated. i will never go back there again after going there for many years.

After seeing 4.5 stars, I thought if give this place a try:
–Parking: the lot is valet only, but there are a few dedicated spots for the dry cleaners. However, the lot can get really congested and it may be challenging to get into the spot and/​or to get out of the parking lot.
— Compared to other cleaners, the store is a little messer than what I’ve seen.
— The owner is nice.
The reason for the 3 stars is I asked if a belt on my H&M dress could be repaired (one of the holes). The person explained why it couldn’t be. I accepted it. I got my dress back and it wasn’t until I unwrap it at home that I noticed the prong/​clasp of the buckle broke off. I am 100% sure it was on when I dropped it off. I understand stuff happens, but 3 stars for not being notified of what happened.

Pretty good service, small family owned cleaners… I was blown away when I realized I left a pair of $ 250 cufflinks in a shirt and they were returned when I picked up my shirts. wow!

I spent way too much money on a suit a couple months back and had somehow ended up spilling soy sauce or something equally horrible across a huge 6×6 area.
The first dry cleaner I toon it to in NorCal said there was nothing that could be done.
Months later and new to LA, I decided to give this place a try. Had some shirts and wool pants that needed cleaning, figured I’d take the ruined suit in too. I told the owner about the stain and asked if anything could be done. He said he’d do his best.
Three days later and the stain is completely gone. No trace of it at all, anywhere.
Definitely going back the next time I inevitably muck up my suit again!

They are miracle workers! I took in a pretty heavily stained white blouse and they made it look brand new! Prices are very reasonable and the hours are convenient. This is my neighborhood dry cleaner and I take all of my work clothes here.

Took a white blouse with some coke/​jäger stains on Tuesday.
The guy looks at it and says «this is silk (it is not silk btw) and needs to be dry cleaned only. I doubt the stain will come out, but I’ll give it a try. Come back on Friday.»
Went back on Friday. The guy gives me back my blouse (looks UNTOUCHED) and says «i don’t think this is gonna come out. you can try hand washing to try to get the stain out, but you might ruin your blouse. sorry»
SO, 2 things.
1. OK, if you weren’t even going to TOUCH or even ATTEMPT to get the stain out, why did you even take the blouse in the first place?~!!!
2. FURIOUS i was after picking up my blouse, i went home, got my Tide stain removing pen and went at it. LOW AND BEHOLD, the stain comes out perfectly.

I’m pretty happy with the service here. Friendly and helpful.

solid job and also quick turn around time
dark skinny korean man
cute and polite with crinkly eyes
you know the kind that reminds you of your dad
and you just want to give him a hug or a high five
but then he (kinda) picked his nose
(side swiped with his thumb)
so i just took my clothes and backed away slowly
cant complain on the great cleaning job though!

Great service and friendly staff, they do a good job on all of my dry cleaning.

Been using Embo for all my dry cleaning ever since I moved to Ktown in 99′. They do a good job, have reasonable prices, and pretty good with alterations. The owners are nice and definitely hard working, would definitely recommend Embo above other cleaners in Ktown.

Good prices.
Great service.
Was skeptical because of lack of reviews
But it was true that he’s a nice man.
My first time there I took my Maltese and in a splir second
He was gone.
Even though he didn’t have to the owner searched for him and
Found him at nandarang.
He’s a dry cleaner and a dog whisperer.

Great!
Nice nice man… great service.
He’s really nice, I really needed to get some jeans hemmed and he stayed a little later because I was stuck in traffic!
I have went back for many pairs (5 pairs of premium denims now) and I love the work that is done with them.
Not too expensive, but not cheap either… original hem is 13 and straight hem is 7 dollars. Definitely really cheap!
I would go back for all my stuff! :D
he also does good dry cleaning as well!

I’ve been a customer here at Embo since I first moved to K-​Town back in 2000. The location is conveniently inside of a mini strip mall plaza between Nandarang Café and Spiga Boutique. They have their own designated parking spot right in front and if that spot is taken, you can just double park and run in really quick. I’m telling you, super convenient!
I came here first because it was the closest cleaners from my apartment, but I remained a loyal customer even after I moved far away because the owners were friendly and provided excellent service at a reasonable cost.
The owners recently changed so I first gave it 3 stars because they seem to not have the same spirit as the previous owners, but after they completely removed the red wine stain from my off-​white blouse I have to give them 5 stars. It would be an injustice not to do so. Amazing, and the new owners aren’t so bad either.
