    Our room After the massage, the sheets were straight prior to our massage
    Alisha C.

    We got a couples massage on Groupon and the appointment was made the same day. They took our voucher number and thankfully there was no additional cost to us. The front desk receptionist was really friendly. We absolutely LOVED our massages. I felt like my masseuse took her time with every crevice of my body. It didn't feel rushed or like it was less than the paid for time like some of the other massage places I've used before. My partner also loved his massage as well and his immediate response was that it was great and that he really needed it. We will definitely be coming back!

    We have visited twice and love the quiet peaceful atmosphere once you step inside the doors. We've enjoyed the 90min hot stone couple massages. Be vocal on the pressure desired on your massage--can be quite firm. We come away feeling refreshed and calm. We found deals on Groupon and while making the reservation we mentioned it and was honored. Great staff all around too. Be careful where you park in the area, some of the surrounding stores will tow if you use their space. If you're in the area, highly recommend

    Minus a star, this is NOT a place to come relax. You will hear all sorts of loud conversations Phones ringing People having whole conversations Doors closing People moving around etc. But other than that PENNY ROCKED MY THAI/ Swedish massage. Her pressure was Sooooo hard and I LOVED IT. She got on top of that table and on my back and went to WORK!!! The stretching part was much need. I will say she used WAYYYYYYYY too much oil. I mean I felt like a fish sliding across a wet table!! ON A SHEET no less! When I thought she knew she had ENOUGH oil, here comes the squirt sound of MORE OIL! But penny was worth every bit of money! Street parking only Place looks dingy outside Very crammed and not super nice inside None of that mattered once my massage started

    Just to prove that we were actually here. The place is right around this corner.

    Avoid, avoid AVOID this place at all times. Seriously. Especially if you bought their coupon through Groupon. We bought a couples massage ticket through Groupon, we made a reservation using phone call, gave them all the coupon number and everything. So they KNEW about our Groupon-ticket. We arrive, and the receptionist woman checks our coupon and tells us that we UNDERPAID for the session, and that we must PAY EXTRA on top of the coupon we have bought from groupon because "they will not make any money from that price." First of all, it's not our fault that the tickets were sold for that price. We paid, we came. As a business, you should be dealing with errors on prices with Groupon NOT with customers. You dont make customers pay extra money for the mistakes that the businesses have made. Secondly, we insisted that this is not fair, and that we will request a full refund. The receptionist tells us to take that up with Groupon saying they have nothing to do with this. So we asked for her name to include their info for our request claim. SHE DELIBERATELY SHAKES HER HEAD AND SAYS SHE WONT GIVE US HER NAME!! Then she calls the OWNER, (his name is JOSE) and we had a phone call with him. Lo and behold, the Owner, Jose, tries to talk us into just paying a few extra dollars and just get the service. He kept saying they wont make money off of it and that Groupon usually make mistakes with their prices. That means they already had MULTIPLE SITUATIONS LIKE THIS before and still didnt do anything about it!! Seriously?! NOT TO MENTION THE COCKROACHES I SAW AT THE RECEPTION COUNTER. I wanted to take pics or video of them crawling around in the back shelf by the wall behind the receotionist but couldnt since she was sitting right there. Dont ever waste your time and money here guys. This is absolutely disgusting and dirty way of marketing. They jack down prices on Groupon and make people pay extra money when they arrive. Lol. ++ I've read few other reviews of this place and seems like they are partners in crime (receptionist and owner) and this whole thing is their usual scenario to stick by to SCAM people into buying at cheap price and then making them overpay it.

    This is the scar due using eucalyptus on my face :(

    I recommend you avoid this place at all costs! I purchased the massage at Ancient Thai massage. During the massage they put eucalyptus on my face which ended up burning my forehead!! With 2 visible brown streaks scars.. I went back to show this to the store manager , prior to his arrival the lady receptionist confirmed that eucalyptus should not be applied on face and then the manager arrived ( he introduced his self as Jose) and instead of to be cooperative and helpful to try and find a remedy for their mistake he tells me he's not a doctor and he told me to go to see a dermatologist and this had nothing to do with him or his business!!!!!! He was super rude and he walked away in middle of the conversation and closed the door and would not respond to me !!! Again I recommend you AVOID this place at all costs ..

    Call 213-385-5169 to book an appointment. Thank you!

    Are they open I keep calling?

    I drove by about a month ago because i was calling too and they were not open. Gate was closed completely at around noon. I'm assuming they are shut down.

    Are they open?

    They are open. I called them a few days ago and they answered and scheduled an appointment for today.

    Are they operating during COVID?

    I don't believe so. I drove by about a month ago and called 2 or 3 days before that

I was a walk in and didn't have time to wait. I instead got Saline, who was AMAZING. She truly listened to everything I told her, made her presence known throughout the massage but not too much, so I was able to fully relax. I cannot say enough good things about this massage. The space itself was cramped and no frills and some of the pressure is on fellow GUESTS to keep their voices down (please keep this in mind!) but it has everything. The space felt clean and cozy. I went for a 1.5 hour massage which felt like a splurge because it was longer than I normally do, but their prices were so reasonable and I had just come off a very long work week that it felt needed. The massage was so incredibly relaxing and left me in a little bit of pain in a good way. I knew Saline had found a lot of my deep knots, so there was no way for it to be without pain, but every fit of it was so worth it. It was so relaxing and I left feeling 100x better than when I came in. It was a little hard to find because it's on a small strip mall, but now that I know where it is I won't miss it. Highly recommend this spot!

I was brought to tears at random moments in the session. Michelle used techniques I've never experienced before. If she asks to use her feet, say yes. Trust me. The level of skill, intuition, and passion she brings to her work is rare. You can feel that she genuinely cares about what she's doing. I left feeling reset in a way I can't fully explain. Phenomenal. Truly 10 stars.

She really focused on my problem areas: neck, shoulders, and back - and I left feeling noticeably better. The front desk staff was also very friendly and welcoming. Just know this is a no-frills experience. There aren't fully enclosed private rooms...massage areas are separated by curtains, so you may hear other clients.

Snow wrecked the team's plans, my bones were screaming, and my inner voice said: Koreatown. Massage. Now. The very friendly girl at the Moxy front desk recommended Silver Lake Spa and casually dropped the words "mid-week special." $55 for one hour. Sign. Me. Up. No questions asked. Just one boundary: if I get poked, I'm out. The place is modest and unassuming. JJ was my therapist. Between my moaning, grunting, and aggressively pointing at my neck and shoulders (note to self: don't lift weights the day before a six-hour flight), we agreed on a relaxing Thai/Swedish combo. Friends... JJ knew exactly what she was doing. She found knots in my skull. My actual skull. Then proceeded to perform some kind of kung-fu Thai magic where I felt what used to be my brain turn back into mush--in the best way. She moved to my shoulders and back, mixing deep Thai stretches with light kneading, locating muscle kinks like five-carat diamonds and polishing them until they no longer existed. At one point I'm fairly certain I was purring. HR would not approve. Then came the oil and relaxation portion. Pure bliss. She was gentle, focused, and so intentional that I may or may not have teared up slightly. One hour was simply not enough. I could've moved in. If you live in LA--go see JJ. If you're visiting--go see JJ. It was a glorious hour, and I'm still wiping the drool off my face. This girl is going straight to bed. But I will find JJ again. Just don't tell HR.

The walking on the back may have been the best I've experienced. Everything felt very intentional to the needs of my body. The only thing that was off putting.

My masseuse seemed nice but spent most of the time on my back when I specifically asked her to focus on my legs.
