How long does Phương Giang Tailor take?
Straightforward pieces are usually ready in 24 to 48 hours, and a quick hem can be done within an hour. For complex dresses, reviewers and staff recommend allowing four to seven days so there is time for a proper fitting.
Expect one or two fittings; complex custom pieces have needed more, and one dress took four fittings without turning out right. Alterations are often free, even on clothes bought elsewhere. The shop delivers to hotels, once at 7:30 am before an early flight, but it does not ship abroad.

Complaints to know before visiting Phương Giang Tailor
- Around 7 of 75 reviews (4 one-star and one 3-star on Google, plus one 1-star on TripAdvisor) describe rude or rushed staff, especially during busy periods or at pickup — including a customer 'ridiculed' over a hemming request (TripAdvisor, Apr 2026), another rushed out of a changing stall while staff grabbed the order (Google, 7 months ago), and a third describing disinterested staff and limited fabric choice (Google, 4 months ago).
- Several reviews describe fit problems not fully resolved despite alteration attempts: a blazer that stayed slim-fit and tight at the armpit after the customer asked for a classic fit (1-star), pants that still didn't fit well after 2 extra rounds of alteration (2-star), and a custom dress needing 4 fittings that still wasn't right (1-star).
Who Phương Giang Tailor is best for
Phương Giang suits brides, bridesmaids and couples who want ao dai, qipao or a dress copied from a photo, and who have a few days in Saigon. Nga, Thuong, Phuong Anh and Hien are named most for patient service; one customer even had a dress made for a friend abroad from measurements brought from home.
The complaints above cluster around busy periods: staff described as rushed or rude at pickup, and fit problems on blazers, trousers and one dress that alterations did not fully fix. Avoid peak hours if you can, and allow time for an extra fitting.

Before you order at Phương Giang Tailor
- The shop is directly across the street from Saigon Centre (Takashimaya), within walking distance of Ben Thanh market.
- There is a shoe rack at the front, and customers are expected to take their shoes off before going in.
- Several consultants work the floor and one customer was passed from one to another; that reviewer suggests staying with a single person and recommends Nga and Hien.
- Customers have bought fabric themselves at Ben Thanh and Tan Dinh markets and brought it in; the staff worked out how much to buy for each piece. One coat made this way took a couple of days longer.
- One customer noted that they do not ship abroad, so plan to collect everything before you fly.
