We have been customers since they were located in the mall. I am glad to have renewed our relationship with them again. My husband used to have all his suits tailored here and more recently, my daughter needed her prom dress tailored to her size and frame. We came about a month in advance with the dress and gave them about two weeks for the first fitting (just in case it needed more work). However, it did not! The dress fit her to the T, straps were shortened, chest area was fitted, and the hem was shortened as well. Looking at the work close up, you would’ve never known it had been touched! I am willing to travel for a good tailor and this is certainly one!

I have no idea how did they get those good reviews??? Worst customer service ever, they treat customers like garbage, it was not my first bad experience with them !! The lady working there is horrible worker a complete service shut down!!! The second time I went there she rudely said No with a wicked smile and then she turned her back for me, like I was asking her for charity !!! That’s not a good way to Handel business with a horrible customer service I’m not sure if they understand English language! A complete Failure, I don’t advise any one to go there !!! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE

Mr. Kim did an excellent job on my dress. He definitely has a good eye for altering clothes for the perfect fit. He was very friendly and took the time to listen to my needs regarding the dress alterations. My dress was ready in 4 days and looked fabulous. I will definitely be back when I need other alterations done.

Everyone wrote a great review on this place but my experience wasn’t the same. First, I think it’s ridiculous to charge $ 10 to sew on a patch on a t-​shirt. Second, lady who took my order was bit rude. She had an attitude when I asked if she can rush this. If you are charging me that much just for one patch, I can do without an attitude and you can hustle my order. I don’t think I will return.

5 stars: Kim did a very good job here on my dress! I took the dress in for a hem, but I noticed the top side by the boob had completely ripped when I got there. Maybe I didn’t notice when I bought it? Kinda freaked out because it was for a wedding out of the country and I left in 2 days. I wasn’t sure if he could fix it with the bright orange thread needed, and this delicate thin lace material that stretched across the chest, but Kim did an amazing job! Looked as if nothing had happened to it! It laid fine across the chest when worn. The hem was fine too. Reasonably priced. Fast service. Will use this shop again.
4stars: Communication. :/

Kim and his staff are very friendly and have always done an amazing job with our tailoring needs. My husband has taken countless suits to his shop and they come out looking better than before we bought them. I have taken pants, dresses, and even a raincoat to have hemmed or taken in. every time they have fit perfectly. The process is fast, easy and you absolutely get what you pay for. Bravo, Mr. Kim.

We have taken four of my husband’s suits, all of our dress pants, a formal bridesmaid dress, and a handful of men’s dress shirts to be altered and have NEVER been let down. The staff is extremely talented, speedy, and competitively priced. We do not go to any other tailor and recommend this wonderful business to everyone!

My husband got a great deal online for a suit. He tried it on and it didn’t fit right. We brought it to Mr Kim and he fixed him right up. $ 43 for a sleeve shorten and hemmed pants. Good deal.

Mr. Kim did a great job on hemming my prom dress about a month ago. I was really worried since I procrastinated and took the dress in last minute before prom as well as the fact that I need like six inches off my dress since the dress came with a small train, but Mr. Kim handled everything so calmly and quickly. I also was worried about how the dress would turn out since the material was chiffon and I didn’t know if it would still retain that flowy look it had but everything turned out great and I was so ecstatic. I will definitely be back if I need anything altered in the future!

Just the type of service I am looking for… quick, excellent, to the point, and reasonably priced. My pant legs need to be hemmed and compared to the amount of time it takes a big store like Mens Wearhouse to complete a simple hem, I’m more than happy to give all my business to Kim’s.

Kim’s did a wonderful job hemming a chiffon dress I needed for a special event. I brought it on a Wednesday and it was ready that Saturday. It took all of 2 minutes for him to mark the dress and take my payment, and my husband picked it up for me with my ticket. Easiest alterations ever.
My only fear dropping off my dress is that it smells like the Japanese restaurant next door in there– and not in a good way, however I am relieved to report that my dress doesn’t smell like day old seafood, so no harm done. I do also realize this is in no way the store’s fault– I just mention it ease your mind that your clothes will not reek at pickup.

So I had a custom-​made suit else where that still fit me entirely too big. With 2 weeks remaining to my wedding, I took to Unilocal to help me find a great tailor.
As soon as I stepped into Mr. Kim’s shop, everyone was busy working away. Mr. Kim came over to speak to me and asked how he could be of assistance.
After putting on my suit, Mr Kim. stood about 15 feet away from me, walked around me in a circle, and began pinning away — no questions asked.
8 days later, my suit was actually ready 2 days before the original date given.
Mr. Kim did a terrific job getting me all spiffy for my special day.
The only thing I would say is he is a bit pricey. However, his craftsmanship is evident.
I don’t know how often I will need a tailor, but when needed, I know where to go!

This place did a great job altering a bridesmaid dress I had for a wedding. They let me pick the date I wanted to pick it up, which happened to be a week from when I needed it. I ended up paying $ 69 for the alteration which I think is a little steep, but they did take it in on the side and shortened the dress which had 3 layers. All in all they did a really good job and I would go back if I needed more alterations.

Fast and great work! I went to them for Halloween when I bought a costume that fit all wrong. I was worried that they would turn me down because it was terrible material and just overall cheap. Not only did they do it, they did it just in time for my party and the fit was fantastic! I would definitly recommend them and will go back to them in the future.

Mr. Kim is great.
There is no other way of getting around it.
Have some online clothes that don’t quite fit? Mr. Kim can fix them.
Clothes lose or too tight? Mr. Kim can fix them.
Always friendly and always professional Mr. Kim not only listens but also recommends tailoring options and always produces quality alterations.
He may be a little expensive compared to some sew shops but he is much cheaper than Nordstroms and does better quality work.

I have taken several suits, shirts, and pants to Mr. Kim over 3 years. I’ve seen him for minor work, like shortening a sleeve, and for major alterations like reconstructing my suit jacket.
It’s only worth seeing a tailor if they do the job perfectly. It requires a lot of skill, perhaps not found at dry cleaners that offer tailoring services on the side. Ideally, you want your clothes tailored at a fair price.
Mr. Kim’s shop offers tailoring services exclusively. He does perfect work, and his price is usually fair. It’s not cheap but it’s not expensive either. He can work on price depending on the quantity of clothes you give him. Very reasonable. As a one man show, he can sometimes be in a rush to deal with you if there are many customers waiting. But it doesn’t mean the quality of his work is rushed.
Happy to have him as «my tailor».

I was a fashion designer for 13 yrs in NYC so finding a good tailor is hard for me because I know how to sew and can sense shotty work a mile away. I dropped off a black tie gown that needed hemming. Bloomingdales was going to charge me $ 70 Kim’s charged me $ 30 and that included securing one of the beads that fell off AND fixing the bulkiness in the back zipper so that it would stop getting stuck on the way up. It had been bothering me since the day I bought it, but I didn’t bother to mention it to him. He caught it on his own and just offered to fix it. (I’m sure it was in included in the price though. Lol. There’s nothing free in life). Anyways, I picked up the dress and it was as if nothing had been done to it. PERFECTO!!! The hem looked great, perfect length, and the zipper works much better now. Kim’s does MORE than just a «sew sew» job! ;)

I am so happy to give Mr. Kim and his wife nothing but kudos of his service, and my wife and I are so happy they found this spot after Springfield Mall closed for redevelopment! I’ve been having him do ALL my tailoring, mending and alterations for nearly 20 years and keep going back. They are skillfully great, very sweet and customer focused, and the prices are right — don’t throw it away, have them fixit!

Thank you, Mr. Kim!
Soooo happy that he was daring enough to help me. One of my most favorite designers, Betsey Johnson, is going out of business. (Sad face) So of course, I had to shop her liquidation sale. I find a fabulous Spring 2012 runway dress which of course is one measly size too small… and the only one left… of course. I buy it anyway, and it’s a bit snug in the… chest area… not a bad problem to have most of the time … but I take it to Kim’s so he can help me out.
There was no extra fabric in the seams, so he added a strip of fabric under the arm. Now it fits perfectly and I can be the fashion superhero I always wanted to be!
Now all I need is shoes… oh wait, DSW is across the street!
