Review from Sheryl D.
Service here is par excellence. I drive all the way from Coquitlam to Burnaby to have my dry cleaning and alterations done, simply because I don't think anyone can come close to the kind of attention and service I get at this place. They're very straightforward, get in and get your business done but you always leave knowing your fabrics are in good hands.
They're very capable with alterations as well. I had a pair of $10 jeans that now fit like it cost $250. The first time I went in, I was armed with a Groupon, expecting to be treated like crap for being a cheap deal lover and got a very warm reception instead. I was even treated to a mini story about how they did tailoring for an Olympics team (or something) in the owner's halting English. This was despite having a middle-aged man there, clearly his first time, who was trying his hardest to bargain down his pants alteration ("Come on...do 2 for $10 and I'll be a loyal customer for life!). He was speaking English so rapidly that he was basically trampling her over verbally, in a bid to pay a third world price for a service in Vancouver. Give me a break. Their prices are very reasonable to begin with. Shame on you, sir. Shame on you. I briefly contemplated ripping him a new one but decided against it, as it was my first time there and the owner seemed to take it in good stride.
The second time I went in was to use the second Groupon that was expiring and the lady owner told me to forget the expiry, she'll take it anyway for as long as I need alterations or dry cleaning done. Awesome. She just bought my repeat business. -

Friendly service, prompt, excellent prices all with a smile. This family run business, mother & son have never failed me yet.
Just going to say hi to the owner is a delight in itself because she remembers you each and every time and is a real hoot to talk to!
On top of being a dry cleaner this gem also does a kick-ass job on alterations. Again prices with tailoring aim to please. Best part is there is no stain this wonder woman cannot take out, she is genius!
Traditional asian customs greeting every customer that walks in and ensuring they are happy when they walk out. As long I get my clothes dirty you have my business.
