How much does a suit cost at Văn Hùng Tailor?
One reviewer was quoted from about 6,000,000 VND for a suit in the basic fabrics and 7,000,000 VND and up in imported fabrics. Another paid 10,000,000 VND for a suit and trousers, and a third paid US$850 all-in for a two-piece suit, a three-piece suit and a shirt, with shipping to the US included.

How long does Văn Hùng Tailor take?
Off-season, reviewers had suits in 3 to 7 days and shirts in 3 to 5 days. One pair was measured on day 1, tried a first version on day 2 and collected on day 3. In busy season, around weddings and Lunar New Year, reviewers advise allowing 10 to 14 days or more. Expect one or two fittings.

What customers say about Văn Hùng Tailor
I had a fantastic experience at this tailor. I had 2 suits made and am very happy with the quality and fit of both. The whole experience was very professional and at a very fair price given the quality of their work.

Complaints to know before visiting Văn Hùng Tailor
- 2 of 60 reviews (2★ a year ago, 1★ undated) question the shop's honesty: one felt the price was pushed up 10% after it had been agreed, blaming post-it-note record keeping, and left without ordering; the other found buttons misaligned, suits too loose and shirts made without removable collar stays.
- 3 of 60 reviews (3★ 8 years ago, 3★ 3 months ago, 4★ undated) report fit or finish misses: a suit still not right after 3 fittings, a forgotten name embroidery plus a 30-40 minute wait at pickup and a redo, and a suit rated 7/10 with pockets sewn shut because the customer left before the final fitting.
- 2 of 60 reviews (3★ 10 months ago, 4★ undated) flag the shop being too busy: 'too busy and long lead time to get what we wanted', and advice to allow 10 to 14 days rather than the 3 to 5 days seen off-season.
- 1 of 60 reviews (3★, 8 years ago) notes they will not fit shirts that were not bought at the shop.
Who Văn Hùng Tailor is best for
Văn Hùng suits business travelers, wedding parties and groups who want a well-made suit, tuxedo or coat and can pay more for it. Mr. Hùng is the name reviewers mention, and one sums the shop up as no pressure, just hardworking people who know what they are doing. Walk-ins work, though with a narrower fabric choice if you are short on time.
It is not the shop for cheap, fast pieces, and according to one review it will not alter shirts bought elsewhere. Read the complaints above, which include a suit still wrong after 3 fittings.

Before you order at Văn Hùng Tailor
- Allow 10 to 14 days in busy season: one reviewer who expected 3 to 5 days from other reviews was told that was off-season timing, and another ordering during the wedding and Lunar New Year rush had the suits shipped a month later.
- Make sure fabric choices are written down: one customer agreeing on three suits and five shirts saw notes kept on post-its, and a manager later asked 10% more for one fabric from the same book.
- One reviewer says they would not alter shirts bought elsewhere.
- Your measurements stay on file: one customer plans to send photos of fabrics and styles and have new suits shipped.
- Give your departure date first: one reviewer notes the staff would not quote a price until they had asked the tailor whether the deadline could be met.
