Richard Lim/High Society in Koreatown is great. Not sure what he charges for this kind of work, but I had him make two suits for me and one tie repaired.

More than a tailor, High Society is a creative studio responsible for some of the most iconic tailored garments since 1968. High Society taps into the wider creative culture to pull inspiration and direction for custom tailored garments as well as its collection of ready to wear.
Sounds like you are just visiting. If you happen to come out this way, the Huntington Gardens is absolutely amazing and I'd be happy to give you food recs too. This is asian food mecca.
Yeah, visiting, and food recs would be much appreciated!
Lunch:
Osawa in Old Pasadena specifically for their sushi lunch (mini $30 omakaze) and their Pork Katsu Beef Curry
Golden Deli for Vietnamese egg rolls (insane and cheap)
If you get to golden deli and the line is too long, across the street diagonally is an amazing katsu sando/curry place called Katsu Sando
or there is a simple hong kong dim sum place next door with great har gow and pineapple custard buns
I think it is called Hong Kong Dim Sum lol
Zankou Chicken for lebanese roast chicken (get the roast chicken or the chicken tarna and dont miss out on the garlic sauce [get extra])
Dinner:
Union (fancy traditional Italian)
Sushi Enya (fun and fancy sushi)
happy to give food recs closer to you in case these are completely irrelevant lmao
if you want AYCE Korean bbq near ktown the #1 choice is Wi KBBQ
also BCD tofu is great
Thank you so much! All super helpful, will very likely get over by some of these areas 🙏
sweet. if you happen to be in other areas on the east side of town and want more recs I can see what I can do
enjoy LA 🙂
