I'm not from NYC originally but $60 for minutes is unbelievable even where I'm from in LA. The rooms are only semi-private; there is a divider between the rooms (not four walls) so you can hear some chatter. But since I was one of the only clients, it was rather a relaxing experience. The room was also clean. The masseuse Tina did a great job getting alot of my knots out and also used hot stones as well. I made sure I left a good tip, as the service was so cheap. I highly recommend this place and will be back as I am a permanent resident here now.

Saw this place while walking around and went in on a whim for foot massages. This place is truly no…read morefrills--it's basically one skinny long hallway with a few massage beds against the wall. The foot massages were so good that we decided to stay for full body massages too (I think there was a combo). Usually when I go to Chinese massage places in northern NJ, it's really a hit or miss and a lot of the times I'm not 100% sure that the person massaging me knows what they're doing, or how much pain they're causing me. Here, every movement seemed to be calculated and effective. The guy massaging me seemed to be in tune with how much pressure my body needed. I never had to say a word. We walked out very refreshed. The only thing I didn't enjoy (my boyfriend agrees) was that the hole for your mouth/nose in the massage bed was very small and it was pretty uncomfortable to be pressed against it. I had some mild bruising under my chin afterwards lol. This is not a luxurious place with private rooms and you can hear other clientele coming and going. The prices were more than fair and I would definitely come again. Bring cash to avoid the credit card fee.

Thankfully it's next to a great gluten free restaurant so it will be easy for me to visit on my next trip. It's very fair pricing (comparing prices to other states and fancier massage places with worse service) and you can choose specific lengths of time for your service. A great spot for locals or tourists with sore feet!

Thanks to Joy G. (and Yelp) for the tip! I never would've found this place on my own, tucked away…read moreas it is under a stoop in the basement of a residential building. It looks a little shady from outside, quite frankly, but inside, the space is pleasant, the massage tables impeccably clean. You can, indeed, hear all the goings on in the adjoining rooms, as Joy noted, but luckily on my visit, there wasn't anything too loud or distracting going on. They seem to have good COVID procedures in place: Everyone gets a temperature check before coming in, a squirt of hand sanitizer, and their shoes spritzed with disinfectant. Staff and customers remain masked at all times. My massage therapist, Michelle, was excellent -- more akin to a medical professional than a spa employee. Like every other office grunt in NYC, I sit a lot and my back / shoulders are a disaster. I also do a lot of kid lifting (this should be an Olympic event) and recently started taking taekwondo classes, which are beating the crud out of me -- in a good way. Her technique was almost painfully hard, but magically kneaded out the kinks and qi blockages. Yep, an hour lying on your belly does leave you looking like you've spent the last hour sobbing, with or without contacts in. (I don't wear contacts or glasses because, according to my parents, I never studied hard enough. ;) So bring shades and an extra mask in case you relax so much you drool. Pricing is ridiculously inexpensive: $48 for 61 minutes! And yes, it is sixty-ONE minutes. Maybe it's a numerology thing.

I came to Zu Yuan Spa after seeing it recommended on Reddit, and it absolutely lived up to the…read morehype. I got a one-hour full body massage for just $55, which is an incredible value. My masseuse was fantastic--very attentive and really worked out all my trouble spots. He went hard (which I personally appreciate) and checked in to make sure the pressure was right. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and while the space is no-frills, it was clean and comfortable. A nice surprise was that the massage included lotion and hot stones, which were a great added bonus at this price point. One tip: the spa is on the second floor, so keep an eye out for the A-frame sign on the street. If you're looking for a solid, affordable massage without the fancy spa markup, I'd definitely recommend this place.

I was looking forward to using the first of six one-hour massage certificates I was given for…read moreChristmas at Hua Kang Qi Gong massage parlor located at 164 W. 80th Street and 303 Amsterdam Avenue I booked a 90 minute massage and turned up a little early to be respectful of this place's schedule. The door was locked, and none of the six buzzers next to it were marked with the name of the parlor. I had to call someone who called someone else who came to open the door. Then I had to wait for my masseuse to arrive. The result was that we were delayed starting my massage by some 10 minutes. Once we finally started, we were no more than one minute in when the masseuse had to leave because there was no one there to take care of another client. No sooner was she back than she had to run out again to take care of another client. Rack up about another five minutes out of my 60 minute massage because the place was inadequately staffed. It's not as if waiting for her was pleasant as there was a heavy thumping sound of footsteps tracking back and forth on the floor above the massage rooms. I had requested a deep tissue massage which I have had many times. This place's version consisted solely of applying the pressure of palms or maybe knuckles primarily to my glutes. Go figure. I had to ask her to work on my neck and shoulders which she did, again basically applying pressure with her palms and perhaps her fists. There was no attentive and anatomically aware seeking out of tight muscles and sore spots. I felt like a slab of meat being manhandled rather than a client being massaged. This was an experience to be endured more than enjoyed and as a result I shortened my massage from the scheduled 90 minutes to only 60. When I left, I spoke with the "manager" to ask if I could return my five remaining one-hour gift certificates in exchange for their purchase price as I did not want to use them. He told me wouldn't do that. Amazing. His solution was to say I should talk to the person who gave me this present, which of course isn't helpful. His way they have the money and won't be called upon to provide any service so they come out nicely ahead. How hard can it be for them to get their gift certificates back in return for their cost so that everyone is back at the starting point? They wouldn't consider it. Awful customer service. This business is at best highly indifferent. On a scale of 10, three would be a high grade. An indifferent massage plus hanging onto the cash is a very bad combination. I'd give them zero stars if I could. I should add that I have gone to many qi gong parlors for massages over the years and found them generally high-quality and well priced. Not this one. I will stay away and would recommend anyone else considering going do the same.

I've been coming here for 3 years. As everyone stated already, its a no frills, no privacy, dingy,…read morethe normal scented smells when you walk in a massage place aren't there, the carpets are definitely old and some other aspects questionable. HOWEVER, if you're looking for a hard massage (sports massage if you've been to Thailand, but A LOT harder), this is the place for you. You see in the other reviews as well. You don't come here to get gently touched and oiled and fall asleep. You come for a beating, enjoy it, pay and leave. I have heard many people yell from the stall over and they take it with pleasure. Its the reason they keep coming back. I have personally teared and probably cried a few times. At the end of the day, this is what people come here for. If you don't enjoy this style, please don't come. Also, for previous clients who aren't aware, JJ is opened and shes the only one there for now. CC, Wendy, and the temp lady is no longer working due to age/safety concerns. Shes hurting for business! Please stop by if you can and take the necessary safety precautions. I haven't had to make an appointment whenever I go in during peak hours nowadays so I hope that means something to you. I'm hoping my favorite massage place will remain opened for many years to come. 7/7/21 - landlord painted over her sign to a dark green. However, JJ is still there! If the gate is opened, shes inside. Schedule ahead of time as it is still herself and she is getting busier.

Great M4M hourly Spa…read more Dylan and his staff provide hourly massage services at a great price. I recommend you make an appointment first, some of the masseur schedules are tight. The rooms have there own doors, although the walls don't reach the ceiling, and provide enough noise suppression. The masseur asked me to dis-robe into whatever I was comfortable with, and lay down on the table. He asked me if the pressure was ok? or if I wanted more pressure? Then proceeded to massage my body with no oil first, then applied a little massage oil. I was surprised the hour floated by so quickly. I was very satisfied with his service. I have visited Babylon a number of times since, sometimes with the Master Dylan, and sometimes with others, they all are professional. They all make me feel happy/satisfied with their services. They also have a full shower if you need it. I suggest a tip of at least $25, or more. I will definitely return, soon.
