G & G Chinese Laundry

The best in the business… All of the «high-​end» shops in SoHo use them.

I used this laundry while staying at the Soho Grand. The service was fine and friendly, and they can drop off at the hotel which is great.
However, one of my shirts had buttons mangled at the bottom, and one of the cuff buttons was damaged (the shirt itself is fine.) I believe they use an off-​site provider, and I’m sure these things happen now and then. I had already left NY before I realized this, so did not get to ask them about it. So, really just FYI :) hopefully this is just unfortunate thing.

I had a blazer and a sherpa-​lined jacket that I wanted tailored. Many places were unable to tailor the Sherpa-​lined jacket, so J. Crew recommended I try G & G. When I initially showed it to them, they said they could tailor it, and mentioned a price of $ 65. When it came time to measure it, it turned out that it needed more alterations than they expected, but out of respect for their initial price they did not up the price and it remained $ 65. They did an amazing job with the jacket, as well as the blazer. Thank you G & G!
As for other reviewers: I did not notice a smell on any of my items, and it is their prerogative if they would like to take cash!

G&G is definitely the best in the area, and I’ve tried almost all of the dry cleaners in my South Village neighborhood. They are extremely friendly and courteous, but most importantly, they do a great job! I trust them to do all of my dry cleaning, wash and press all of my boyfriend’s shirts, and regularly wash and dry my duvet cover. I’ve been happy with the results on everything I’ve given them!

I wanted to get my wedding dress altered and people were quoting me $ 450+ which I thought was insane, so I worked with Angela.
She was courteous and helpful and had the alterations done in roughly 3 weeks — totally on time for my pickup. So, the timing was great!
That being said, I don’t think the dress fit like a glove. I’m petite (5’1″) and I have a very small ribcage so she really needed to take in the entire bodice all the way down through my hips and also the length on the bottom — and I had a poufy skirt so she had to shorten ALL the layers. I still felt like overall, it could have been taken in more (she seemed very confident that it was enough but it was still too roomy in the bust area and I felt like it bunched a little oddly at my stomach).
Overall, I look okay in photos so I may be a little nitpicky but I did pay almost $ 1,000 for my dress so if I’m going to shell out for alterations, I wished that it could’ve really fit me perfectly. I felt that she could’ve taken more time and given more attention to detail to really figuring out exactly what changes to make rather than just making it smaller.
Overall, it was okay — but I definitely feel like it could’ve been better. That being said, I don’t know who else is at this lower price range who would’ve done amazing workmanship… I had a REALLY hard time finding affordable tailor options!

I have been using them for about 4 months now. Wash and Fold. Perfect service, always ready on time, cheap, and my clothes smell so nice! And i always find them polite and courteous.

I spent a week at the Sheraton on Canal and needed some laundry done before departing to my next city. The Sheraton wanted $ 3 per pair of socks, $ 5 per underwear and $ 10 per T-​Shirt. I asked the concierge if there were any laundry places in the area and he told me about G&G. I brought everything over around 8AM and had everything back by 5:30PM. Two shirts cleaned and pressed $ 3 each and one pound of fluff and fold $ 12 for a whopping total of $ 18. Couldn’t have been happier.

The Best Tailor In All Of NYC!!!

I moved right next to them a couple of months ago, I wanted them to be the right people but every time I bring something to be cleaned I always have to go back.
It’s crazy, white shirts came back with yellow stains, dirty trousers came back after «cleaning» with the same dirt still there, I brought a white t-​shirt with a blue logo (I had it clean hundreds of times) and it came back all blueish. Their answer is always: it’s not our fault. It’s the shirt.
Are you joking?
When I went back with the usual un-​cleans stuff after their cleaning they even tried to make fun of me because there were other customers there saying: you’re the only one who come back with problems, maybe it’s you and not us!

PS Not to mention their stupid cash only policy…

I’m afraid I have to agree with the Unilocaler who warned us to stay away.
Over the years I’ve used this place, the work has become sloppy and careless.
It’s nice that they’re busy, but they don’t seem to be able to handle the volume they have.

TAILORING
I got two coats done here at about $ 35 each. They were well hemmed, with the buttons adjusted accordingly. I personally think that the price is a bit steep, but I suppose that’s what you get in Manhattan?
Beware, they only accept cash when doing alterations. Make sure you stop by an ATM before coming here.
LAUNDRY/​DROP SERVICE
They do drop service at $ 1/​lb. with a minimum charge of $ 10. So make sure you pile up that stinky laundry before you come by. They wash, fold, and bag up your laundry for you, like any other cleaners shop. Not much else to say, but nothing that stands them apart.

I agree with «Shawn Z.»

Simple patch job on some jeans and they would not stand by their work when the «repair» on the seam busted out a few days later.
They were telling me I was mistaken about how much I had paid and conveniently lost the records of the receipt. Bad business over 5 DOLLARS!

New to the city, I’m trying to find all my go-​to places. Found this place to be quite good for dry cleaning. Convenient location (close to Canal St subway station) and service is quick and efficient. Dropped off my dresses on Thursday afternoon and they were ready by Saturday.
Prices are a little steep, but would pay that little extra for great and quick service. Recommended if you live around this area.

I am not giving them anymore of my business. I have had two terrible experiences within 6 months and thats too much for going to them for 6 months.
The first time was when I went to get a brand new jacket tailored (needed to have the sleeves shortened) and they came out uneven and way too short. The girl that worked there constantly said its not my fault, thats how it was measured on your body. Its not my fault your arms are uneven.
The next was when I pulled out a single shirt out of the laundry bag and told the man there that it needs to be washed in cold water and to do the rest in warm. The $ 300 sweater came back completely shrunk and unwearable. When I went back to tell them the man wasn’t there and the lady (his wife and owner) said that it was washed in cold water and would not bend at all on it and insisted the fabric was not meant to be washed in cold water and should have been dry cleaned when clearly the label says wash in cold water. She refused to take any blame for her actions and told me to go back to the store and insist on a refund for a defective item.

These folks are straight up gangsta about their cash-​only alteration policy! Recently, I witnessed a regular customer begging the man behind the counter to let him use a card for a $ 60 total, but the guy wouldn’t budge, even though the two of them are on a first-​name basis. (G&G accept cards for dry cleaning only. Is that even allowed?)
But yeah: I take all my jeans here to be hemmed; prices are middle of the road. I’ve also had a dress zipper replaced and dress straps reattached. They know what they’re doing.

One of the best kept secrets in soho. The alterations are precise and not expensive — jeans, tailored dresses, slacks. The dry cleaning is fabulous — I’ve brought my most precious pieces here, with no worries.
*** Insider tip: This is where all the soho boutiques bring their alterations and cleaning. I first found this out a few years back when I made an expensive purchase at Catherine Malandrino and needed an alteration.

I was quite weary about going to G&G, and when I arrived, my worries were not allayed.
But 4 days and $ 12 later, my Michael Kors pants were perfectly hemmed. I was thrilled. I totally recommend this place– just don’t be turned off by the tiny space and peculiar fitting room.

They did a shoddy job on my sleeves. Had a nice fall coat that needed sleeves to be taken up. One sleeve is not even! Cost $ 30 just for that. Not happy. Will probably have to go somewhere else to get it fixed.
Also they take 10 days for alterations, and cash only.

Love this place. I get stuff altered and drycleaned and not only are they good, but they are fast and inexpensive. Or, in the very least reasonably priced. I’ve had buttons added to things, rips fixed, hems taken up, the works. They are very nice too, and it’s a spacious place. .. not so eerily sweatshop-​esque crammed like many drycleaners.

My friend is in a wedding and needed to get her bridesmaid dress tailored. I needed to get my dress taken in, so we figured we’d go together. After some research, she decided on this place. Neither of us were completely easy with the fact that it was a cleaner with a tailor, but after reading all the positive reviews, we thought we’d give them a shot. Unfortunately, she didn’t check if they were open on Sunday, which was when we went…
So last night, we tried again. The staff here is very friendly and you could tell that their regular customers really like them. Unfortunately, this place is no where near my house, so I don’t think I’ll ever know how their dry cleaning service is…
There are two mirrored changing areas with curtains for you to get in and out of the garments you want altered. I like that it’s not just some tiny space with no room that they’ve hastily put together. There was enough room for both of us in the changing area, and then some!
As for alterations, my friend bought in five pairs of jeans and her bridesmaid dress. I, my dress. Her jeans will be done in a few days and our dresses will be done before the day we requested them back.
I’ll let you know how the alterations turn out, but for now, so far so good…
