Formosa Cleaners

Review from 11/17/11: Right now, I'm only writing a review for my 1st visit here, & so far it's been good. The only thing I didn't like was that the place seemed a bit messy & a bit stuffy for a warm afternoon, I think this place could have turned on the air conditioner a little bit.

Nonetheless, the lady there whom I spoke with named Lee was friendly. I mostly went to bring my wedding dress here to have them alter it. What makes me a fan so far is that the price was less than half the price of 2 other alteration places I visited! For the same dress, 2 other alterations places (Elegance of San Marino & Sun Cleaners) said they would hem the dress for me for $150 and dry clean it for $100-120. At Formosa Cleaners, hemming my dress here would only cost $65 total! Well, we'll see how well they do when I go back to pick up the dress in two weeks. I'll keep you posted.

Updated Review from 2/10/12: Although I like supporting small Asian businesses, this place doesn't seem to have good organization, sorry to say. =/

The benefits of going here is that they have really good prices for altering clothing that are normally much more expensive than other alterations places (i.e. my wedding & reception dress which cost $50 & $65).

However, the few times I've been there, they seem to misplace things. The last time I was there, a guy was waiting to pick up his clothes that he got dry cleaned, but there was one shirt that was missing from the batch they were supposed to return to him. The lady said she couldn't find it, & would call him to let him know when they do find the shirt. Mmm... that sucks for him. =/

Also, I've brought my jackets & coats to them before, & they didn't make the cuffs that well. They even got a little pink stain on one of the cuffs, but they offered to dry clean it out, so I hope that's gone when I go pick it up next.
