Barong & Formal - Vallejo, California

My husband bought his Barong here in the past and he loved his Barong and the customer service. He said you guys are very friendly ,helpful and wonderful. We will be coming here in March to get another tailor custom made fitting for a wedding. Please let me know if I need to schedule an appointment. We appreciate you guys.

We found exactly what we needed and bought a total pf 13 Barongs for the groom and wedding party! Not only did they have hard to find colors but they also had all of the sizes that we needed. If you were to look online, it would cost almost $50 more per Barong so it’s really a great deal!

I got a very good deal and the fitting was exactly right. Thank you again! I finally got my wedding pics to my wife in traditional Filipino dress. I want to thank you again.

Im giving two stars because the selection of Philippine clothing and accessories was great, something we sadly lack in the Daly City area, which i shared to the woman in charge of the store at the time of my visit. HOWEVER, since i was interested in shopping around at everything and was even shopping for something to match with my spouse and sons barongs for my daughters baptism this saturday (which i also shared with the woman), things got weird, and she started telling me that if i come back maybe the store will have something in stock that would work for the baptism (its in 2 days and i live on other side of the bridge, im not coming back).

Then i went back to the accessories side to pick the color lipstick case i wanted. She started rushing me because she said she wants to take her 15 minute lunch, so i made my choice and went to pay. I just wanted to let her know what a nice store she had, and then she commented “You are loitering around and i want to take my 15-30 minutes lunch.” Excuuuuse me?! Its called SHOPPING and she had great things that i just wanted shop and look at! Even the boleros i was shopping for to match my family were $100-$200 and i was confused at that moment why she was rushing me out for a 15 minute lunch instead of wanting to sell to someone who is interested?

And if she really wanted her lunch, she could have just told me she needed to close the shop to take her lunch, not insult me by telling me im loitering. I told her im not stealing if that is what you are thinking, im just shopping! I continued to pay via apple pay.

By the way, there was another woman in the store with me early on, and the lady in charge was insisting to the customer to “try it on so that you can appreciate the fabric/dress” multiple times. I saw the other comment about her not letting someone else try anything on, but she was seriously insisting to the other customer (filipina woman) to try on the dress. So the lady is definitely selective on who she is letting try on clothing.

I was on my work-lunch break wearing my work clothes (grey pants, black collared shirt, black zip up sweater, black vest with my equipment, and mini star wars backpack) im a health inspector so cannot do much about what i was wearing. Just know she is definitely judging a book by its cover, i guess!

My fiancé wants to wear a barong for our upcoming wedding in Hawaii. He asked to try on their sample size barongs to see which size he’d be, the worker basically said we can only try on the sample sizes if we’re purchasing a barong today which did not make sense to us at all. He asked twice if he could try on the sample sizes, and she said the same answer. There was absolutely no reason why he couldn’t try on the sample barongs. Unless she was discriminating against my fiancé because he was wearing a hoodie. We were also the only customers there and she was just standing there doing nothing except refusing my fiancé on trying on their barongs. That store lost a potential customer because of poor customer service. Never coming back nor suggest anyone to shop here.

I've seen the past reviews and sometimes the salesperson can reflect on the store if your experience was terrible, I get that. The store itself had a wonderful selection for adults and children, maybe I got lucky and that salesperson was off that day. I came to look for Barongs for my mother's funeral for my son and my nephew, the young lady that assisted me was so patient and kind. She allowed us to try on different styles and sizes as we pleased. All while she had many customers coming in and out. She made excellent suggestions and she made me feel comfortable in my price ranges. She went above and beyond and pressed the Barongs I purchased. I will be back for future purchases! I did come here on a referral from a friend and I'm glad I did.

I read the reviews before visiting this place on a Saturday morning. I was already preparing myself for a subpar experience. To my surprise and delight, my husband and I had a pleasant experience and we found the items we needed. We bought a barong (for husband) and a shoal (for me), the wedding was the following week. I’d recommend going to this place. They have a lot of barongs, ready to purchase, and you can try on sizes too.

Had the worst customer service ever. The lady at the store was basically shooing us away. We wanted to look for Barong for my groom and groomsmen and the first thing she ask is if we are purchasing. We said we are still looking and choosing and will look someplace too. Right after then, she just waved us away saying she has a customer picking up that she is not ready and have it go get it ready. We asked if we can atleast look at one barong while she do that but she strictly said no. We tried to wait for 5 mins but she came out and said, tell me if you want to go out, i locked the door even tho we already told her we will wait since thats the only time we have to check it out with our busy schedule. My groom was not happy and said we should just go. So we did. Never coming back again. Once we said we aren't we will be purchasing, she did not give us any service. All she care is that you purchase. You can't even look at the barong because it over the counter. I was hoping to get my filipino formal clothes for the wedding but we will have to go somewhere else. I wish I could have look at the review first before we wasted our time. She was not friendly at all. Filipinos are not like this. She was the first one I encounter that was not welcoming, friendly or happy about giving anyone service. 0 stars.
