Ngan’s Tailoring

quick, fast and easy service! and great prices as well :) This was my second time here and I will definitely be returning if I need anything altered.

Walked here to find out this place was closed at 12:30PM – when clearly it says it’s open at 10:00AM. CALL FIRST.

Brought brand new suit into get tailored to fit. The lady marked it up with chalk (this stuff better comes off!!!), then charged me an expensive rate compared to other tailors around the area. Decided to take my business to another tailor…

VERY GOOD SERVICE and GOOD price! First time here, the owner hemmed my dress and pants for $ 20 in total. He offered me to hem another part of my dress for free.

Sign says 10AM on the door. Called number on sign and he said he might be in by 11…

I have used Ngan many times in the past year. I had approx. 10 shirts made, and 10 alterations. Workmanship and price are very good.
I will return in the future.

Came here during business hours. Sign on the door clearly indicated that the store should be open at this hour, but instead I just wasted my time and a trip.

Excellent service. I’m visiting from out of town and needed a button repair done on a suit jacket and he reattached it for me on the spot in a matter of minutes. It took me longer to write this review than it did for the repair. I’m sure the turnaround time is normally longer but I arrived at store opening and appreciate him helping me out. Definitely would recommend.

Very professional, very helpful, and very talented. A very good tailor, he altered my suit perfectly and did it in about 24 hours. I will use him even though I live north of San Jose.

Yeah, that’s right, FIVE STARS. I did not have a week to wait like one alterer wanted me to wait on a funky sequined vest for a party. I needed it in like two days, tops. I was in a hurry, so thought I would drive the neighborhood and look around. Ngan’s popped out at me. They were still open at 5:30 so I bring in the vest and he tells me he can have it ready after 2pm TOMORROW. Nice!
So 3pm next day rolls around and I show up. He shows me the vest and the stitching is immaculate, really, really good. So he meets my schedule, gives me a perfect alteration (thing fits perfectly now) and does it for $ 15! His suits are pretty decently priced as well. I know where I will probably get my next suit. All in all, a great transaction.

My husband and I have been going to Ngan’s Tailoring for about 6 years now. He can take any style pant or dress or skirt and duplicate it! My husband is a hard fit — we bought fabric for 6 pairs of jeans and my husband’s favorite jeans that he loves the fit of, and Ngan made him 6 pairs of jeans, and each one fit him great. And if one pair might not have been perfect, Ngan will fix them with a smile. It is no effort for Ngan to make a professional garment. I had 3 dresses made and one jumper which I drew free hand and Ngan was able to make the jumper to my specifications with my fabric and buttons. I would highly recommend him. Karen K.

Hooked it up with perfect suit pants. Definitely will come here again for anything related to slacks/​suit alterations. 15 bucks? Steal!
Jeans on the other hand, I haven’t tried, and I’m kind of scared. I’ll probably stick to Forest Tailoring, or if I gain the confidence, I’ll try here.

Came here about two years ago with one of my favorite pairs of jeans. The zipper had snapped off, and if you’re a lady (plus a tall one like myself), you know how are it is to find a good fitting pair of jeans! I’m a student at SJSU and live by campus, so I thought this tailor was good fit. I remember the price being reasonable, $ 10 I think? They put a whole new zipper on my jeans in a short amount of time. I remember being very pleased, until I went home to put them on.
Whoever «fixed» my jeans didn’t sew the zipper far enough to the side to be hidden under that flap that prevents your fly being shown. So my zipper was exposed and looked like my fly was down, even though it wasn’t. They were too embarrassing to wear anymore!
I probably should of gone back and complained to see if they could solve the problem, but the woman who helped me didn’t speak very good English, so I felt like I would have to walk in with the zipper abomination to prove my point. I ultimately ended up recycling the jeans. =(

Mr. Ngan is a downtown institution and a fine tailor. I’ve gone to him for maybe 10 years without a problem. And the prices are sooooo reasonable.
It’s a pleasure to support a business that adds to the vitality and authenticity of San Jose’s downtown.
One caveat: make sure MR. Ngan is the one you deal with; Mrs. Ngan’s English is a problem and her work isn’t as good.

Nice, friendly neighborhood tailoring & alterations shop. They have good deals on suits also, of which I own a few.

Excellent, friendly service.
I’ve been coming here for years. He’s my tailor.
Ngan can make any sort of alteration or he can create a garment for you. He’s extremely professional and will listen to what you want, as opposed to many other tailors who just do what they want.
Make sure you’re specific as to what you want from the alterations and don’t be afraid to ask for special requests or to ask for his suggestions on what he thinks would work best.
He can turn things around in a few hours if you request it. The prices are much, much better than other tailors in the area with comparable skills. Ngan is a true craftsman.
