What customers say about A Dong Silk
I don’t know if A Dong Silk is the best tailor in town, the price would suggest it is as it is the most expensive. The team basically assembled my 3 peice suit in 2 days. Price was about less than 500usd , shirts were $45 usd. If you stay at Silk Sense Resort you get a discount!

Complaints to know before visiting A Dong Silk
- 1 detailed review (3 stars) describes serious construction defects specifically in a pair of trousers — pleats sewn shut, crease drift, misaligned pockets, wandering internal stitching — requiring multiple full remakes over more than a month, while the same order's suit jacket and shirts were praised as excellent. The reviewer credits one staff member's advocacy for the outcome and says management offered a refund if it couldn't be resolved.
Who A Dong Silk is best for
A Dong Silk suits couples, brides and grooms, professionals and repeat customers who want suits, shirts, blazers, coats or wedding outfits in wool, cashmere, silk or linen. Van and Chau are among the staff reviewers praise for patient, knowledgeable advice, and several customers have come back over the years.
It is not a budget option. Read the complaint above: one customer's trousers needed several remakes over more than a month, while the jacket and shirts from the same order were excellent.

Before you order at A Dong Silk
- Suit prices are posted on the shop's website; one reviewer contrasts this with another tailor that gave no prices and started upselling. Another notes suits begin at USD 140 but expects most to end up around $500+.
- One customer reports a discount for guests of Silk Sense Resort; ask about it if you are staying there.
- You can start before you arrive. One customer planned fabrics and scheduling with Susan on WhatsApp months ahead, and another booked a same-day appointment through the website.
- Shipping is offered, but one customer found it a bit costly and the suits took about a month to arrive, and suggests carrying them home if you can.
- The only three-star review concerns trousers: pleats were sewn shut and several pairs had to be remade over more than a month, with Lee pushing every correction through. If you order pleated trousers, check the pleats and the drape closely at the first fitting.
