Royal Tailor Alterations

Excellent tailor! I bring my best men’s suits here for total alterations. Highly recommend!

Great work on some tailoring I needed– He made some recommendations on what he thought would be best and it came out beautiful! Small shop, nothing fancy but he knows his stuff! Oh also you should know ahead of time he takes CASH ONLY! And yes, per some of the other reviewers, place is a little shady looking– it seems like his business is the only one open.

Wai Chan is my savior! One of the groomsmen in my wedding party arrived at 3pm the day before my wedding and needed to have his suit completely deconstructed. Since the wedding was at 7am the next day, Wai Chan was so generous to finish it that same day! He finished before 6pm and did an amazing job! I highly recommend this place!

I’ve been here twice, once to drop off and another to pick up. The first time I came in was a Saturday early afternoon. It was busy. Two men were waiting for a rush alteration and another customer came in after me.
A woman came out from the back room to help me. She guided me to the two dressing rooms. I tried on my blazer and she was very meticulous in measuring and marking. She pinned it and asked me if I liked the pinned length; same with the jeans. She gave me a quote and hand marked receipt. They told me it’s cash only, and pay when I pick it up. I was in and out under 10 minutes.
Jeans — original hems: $ 18
Unlined blazer — sleeves hemmed: $ 15
I came back the following Saturday to pick up my items. I handed them my receipt and I paid. They had my clothes neatly folded for me on the back counter; they don’t give out hangers or bags. If you want to try on your clothes to check it out, they let you do that. No attitudes. Quite the opposite, they are kind and respectful.
The work is great and pricing is affordable. He does an awesome job, he is very skilled. I’ve been to tons of tailors and seamstresses throughout my life. He is by far the best.
I wish he was in a better location that doesn’t make my spidey alert senses go in overdrive. I’ve had no issues during my 2 visits. But this area and shopping center has seen better days. I used to live about five blocks away over 20 years ago. If I wasn’t familiar with the area, I probably wouldn’t have stopped in. So a 5 star for the tailor and 3 stars for the location averages 4 stars.

Wow! Today was my first visit here. I was feeling a little nervous, never having anything professionally hemmed before. But I went in, was met with sweetness and decisiveness that had me feel confident in what I was getting myself into, and left 15 minutes later with a quality-​hemmed pair of pants! I thought I might need to wait a week and was sad that I had missed my opportunity to wear my new pants at a meeting tomorrow, but I was surprised and delighted when he said give me 10 minutes, then $ 10 later, I was walking out the door feeling very pleased! I will definitely return with any future alteration needs.

This shop came with good reviews and its close to home. So glad I chose them don’t let the outside area detour you from going. I brought my wedding dress on on a Friday and was worried I had waited to long. It was available the following Friday the day before my wedding thank you so much.

I’m a short gal, so this is my go-​to for all my hemming needs. It’s pretty close to the mall which makes it convenient if you just bought some items that need alterations. The owner is super friendly and can usually have the items ready same day. It’s $ 10 for slacks and $ 16 for slacks with lining.
The only con is that it’s in a rough looking strip mall with few parking spots. However, I’ve never had any issues, I’ve always had a place to park and you’re in and out very quickly.
I would definitely recommend this place.

I brought in my suit and three shirts. He measured one shirt and told me that’s good enough for measurement, and tailored other two shirts exactly how it was measured with the first one. I love the suit btw. This was the suit I bought many years ago and I thought I would never wear it again, but it is in the first in line in the closet. Love this guy.
He was a bit on the pricey end, I end up paying $ 130 for total, and the only downside is that he only takes cash, and no credit cards or checks.

I took my daughters dress in for a fitting and it came out pretty good. It was $ 48 to have a homecoming dress altered. I thought not bad. So when I needed some pants hemmed and tapered I went to the same place. Not a good idea. $ 25 each for hem and taper. Now I don’t mind paying for good work but the price does not match the quality. So three days later I go to pick them up. Tried them on and not only were they too short, they were not even. I asked how long it would take to fix them. He said a half and hour and I. The way out of the door he said he would call me. Now I needed these pants the next day and it was already 330. I knew he wouldn’t call. I ran some errands and and hour later no call. So I went back and they hadn’t even been touched. I wait another 15 minutes. Never again.

Cute husband and wife team that did an excellent job for next to nothing.

I found a faux leather jacket at Goodwill and fell in love with it! I had been searching for one that would fit me right for 4 years! Needless to say, I was ecstatic that I found this particular one. Unfortunately, the sleeves were too long. I called around and most places wanted $ 60 and up to shorten them. I came across Royal Alterations on google and saw they had awesome reviews! They only charged me $ 25 and my jacket was ready in less than 24 hours! I was very happy with the final results. This jacket retails for close to $ 200 and I only had $ 45 invested after having it tailored. The gentleman that helped me was very nice. If I ever need anything altered again I will definitely be coming back! Thanks so much!

Incredible! Needed pants hemmed in a hurry for an interview. Other places quoted me weeks and upwards of $ 30. I was given Wai’s business card, and he had my pants done (perfectly, I might add) in 15 minutes for $ 10. I couldn’t have been more pleased.

Excellent service– took 3 pairs of scrub pants in to be hemmed and had them back within an hour! Fantastic!

Two pants needed hemming. $ 10 ea. Done in 90 minutes. GF approved (straight stitching and exactly the right length). Fast, economical, and quality work. What more could you want?
I did this on a saturday. Some other highly rated Unilocal alteration places did not have weekend hours and lost out on my business.

Great quality work. I called on a Saturday with 3 shirts provided to my by my new employer. I’m a taller guy and XL shirts feel like tents in a regular cut and slim cut is too narrow in the shoulders. At first I thought at over a hundred bucks for the three it was expensive, however when I picked up my shirts, only 3 hours later, they where perfect. High quality seams with a great fit!

This place is very affordable and the service is excellent. I’ve used this place exclusively for pant and jacket alterations with zero complaints. The owner is friendly and is able to turn the alterations around quickly. I highly recommend.

The owner formerly did alterations for Nordstrom, so I’ve continued using him. Not inexpensive but they do great work. If you just want a cheap pair of jeans hemmed, you might save a few bucks and go to the closest alterations shop, but if you’re altering anything that you’ve spent money on or otherwise care about, then it’s worth spending the extra money to have the work done here.

I found this place on Unilocal Of course and my god I love thier work, The guy there is such a great help. You explain what you want and he right on it, I left happy and glad. Same for my boyfriend, he’s very picky and for him to love It so much Was a plus. Affordable prices, My pants were so baggy at the bottom, when he was finish. My pants were perfect fit. I love it. I recommend this place to anybody. The awesome part is if you call in and tell him you’re running a little late. He will wait for you to get there and get them done for you right there and then.

Even though I don’t live nearby, I take all my clothes that need alterations and hemming to Mr. Chan. A friend recommended him years ago, and I really appreciate the high quality of his work.
He once did alterations for Nordstroms.
When I need pants hemmed, he just marks a couple of places on the pants legs and that’s all he needs.

Referred here from Nordstrom Rack — originally bought suit from Men’s Wearhouse to get a suit altered I bought a year ago. MW tells me my suit can’t get altered because I lost too much weight and that I needed to get my suit re-​cut. MW tried to get me to take advantage of the BOGO sale, but told them I’d think about it. I thought to myself… just buy a dress shirt and pants and shoes, and it should be good enough for a funeral.
Enter in Nordstrom Rack — in the fitting room and it reminded me that they do alterations too, so I asked. They told me the same reason as MW and instead of trying to get me into a new suit, referred me to Royal Tailor Alterations.
It was about 545pm and the tailor closes at 6pm. He says he would stay open for me, so I hurried over. He measured me over and asked when I needed it. This is a first for me, so I thought maybe he could get it done within a week and he says it won’t be a problem. The cost was a fraction of a new suit. I paid 30% down (my suggestion) and to pay the balance when I pick it up. Fast forward to next week, and my suit fit perfectly — felt custom made. I was impressed. Comments from my friends and family were just amazed at the quality of the tailoring for the price.
If someone asks, I highly recommend this tailor. The business is in a hole in the wall type of place, but don’t let that fool you. He’s located between the 7 – 11 and the Pier 1 Imports on Fulton Ave.
Tip: He does charge a fee for using your credit card, so if you prefer — pay him in cash.
