We do not have to use public wash/dry facilities, so what we have to say is limited to the custom tailoring service offered by this location. In this respect, the Japanese co-owner (apparently a law graduate from an elite Japanese university) has performed excellent work for both myself and my wife (about ten jobs in all). Her work is reasonably priced, precise, careful, and detail oriented, a cut above other so-called tailoring services in our Center City area, where weve lived long enough to have tried many of them. For a couple of rather complicated waist adjustment jobs (pants and skirt), she seemed to really understand how to make the material conform to the body, while her general attitude remained friendly and communicative, making it a pleasure to deal with her. In light of this, we might suggest that customers of this business should bring any concerns to her attention, rather than to anyone else. Also, from what we could see, the place always looks super clean and efficiently managed.

This place is one of the higher end laundromats in center city. The older model laundry machines seem to accept single loads, while the newer models range from either double or triple loads, which is definitely a plus to save money during those long sunday laundry days. im not quite sure what the guy from the previous comment was talking about, but the machines washed my clothes without a hiccup and the dryers dried my clothes without a problem. perhaps he didnt realize that there was a temperature setting from low to high? either way this guy either wrote a review for the wrong location, or he just didnt know how to read. this place is clean, the machines work great, and most importantly the owner was very helpful and nice. conveniently they also accept dry cleaning, which is definitely a plus, though i still have yet to use that service. i am definitely using this place as my go to laundromat to wash my clothes.

This place used to be our go-to spot for laundry. The staff was friendly and we could pop in and out to do our laundry while we had dinner at the bar next door. We went there every Monday night for over five years. Since management changed last year weve experienced nothing but problems. Their pricing is almost double. They close up shop a solid 10-15 minutes before 10. They need to have some sort of warning sign for their customers if theyre not going to keep strict hours. Or maybe- they should just be there when they say theyre going to be there, you know like every other business in America... My husband and I have both gotten attitude from the new staff as well. Theres never a good reason to treat any customer, let alone long standing loyal customers like we are with the dismissive snark weve heard. Tonight will be our last time going here, its not worth the grief. Any newbies to the area should be warned...

Came here for many years; almost seven years.. well before I met my wife. We did our laundry EVERY Monday for almost 6 of those years - ask the owner of Jose Pistolas nearby. Spent hundreds of dollars in dry cleaning and tailoring... and I will NEVER be coming back. The first time they did it to me years ago, the lovely Korean owner told me with enthusiasm that she was sorry and it wouldnt happen again. Fool me twice.. this time a crabby old korean man that now closes weeknights (whom I watched degrade an old black man who needed assistance with the driers), CLOSED THE LAUNDROMAT 15 MINUTES EARLY. I have THREE LOADS OF LAUNDRY sitting there right now. He closed at 9:45, which means I now have to wake up an hour early to get here when they open tomorrow so no one steals my clothes, and he cost his employer a 7-year customer.

I have been going to this place for years. They have altered my uniform pieces several times, and as for the comment on the dryers set to the lowest temp, what are you smoking! Youre suppose to have the option of setting you dryer temp which theirs do. I cant imagine going someplace and tossing my stuff into the dryers with only a HIGH or HOT only option. You must not have delicates. Three different types of washer, and plenty of dryers. Ive never had a problem here. As for the guy who commented that he spent extra money on dryers that didnt work...you may want to do one of two things...select HIGH to dry your clothes...or open your mouth and tell the woman behind the counter. Anytime there is a problem they will reimburse you on any defective machine issue.

This is the absolute worst place to go for your laundry. The customer service is HORRIFIC. When you go to the owner with a problem, he laughs in your face. Not good for a place that is extremely over priced and you only go because of how close it is to you. Ive had a lot of clothes get destroyed there over the years but not any longer. Save yourself time, money, and hassle by going somewhere else. The new owner is complete scum of the earth and does not treat his employees or customers well. This is not someone you want to give your business to.

Ive been coming here for the past 3 years and have always had excellent, friendly and efficient service. The opening hours are great and allow you to drop off at a time that suits your schedule. In addition to cleaning, Ive also had many clothes tailored with excellent results - Everything from coats, trousers, shirts and jeans. The cashmere sweater repairs are also excellent. Use this store as youll have great results - Im a tough customer and I cant fault this place - they deliver quality, friendly service every time I visit.

I dropped off more than a season of dry cleaning and a whole bunch of post-Black Friday alterations, all at once. The service, including the fittings, were accommodating and quick. Everything was done to my exact(ing) specifications on time and for a very reasonable cost. I have tried a number of other dry cleaners in the Dupont/Adams Morgan area and U-Do-It Laundry & Dry Cleaning is by far the best.

(I go here to wash/dry bigger items that will not fit inside my apartment unit washer/dryer.) The washing machines are clean and efficient with exceptionally hot dryers that significantly reduce the drying time. The two ladies that are always at the location are friendly and helpful with any questions that you might have.

The machines do not wash. they cycles must be set to the minimum possible and the hot water isnt hot. same for the dryers they are set to the minimum heat. very nasty tricks to do to your customers. so in summary, if you want to spend more money and wash your clothes twice, this place is for you!

The staff here are very friendly and professional, facilities clean. I needed some tailoring done within about a day and the staff ensured they got my tailoring measured perfectly and completed quickly. I would definitely recommend this place, and Ill be back.

Had to give it at least a star to rate. That being said, ATM does not work. Change machines did not work. They dont take cards of any kind. Manger was rude and was more interested in his conversation than dealing with customers. Avoid!

My suit ripped before a funeral, and I could not find a tailor open on Sunday. After finally finding this place, the proprietor fixed my suit immediately and refused to take any money. This place is run by great people. Thanks!
