I came in looking for a deep tissue massage, not a gentle reminder that I have muscles…read more I've been coming to Hillhurst Thai Spa since before the management change, and unfortunately, the experience just isn't what it used to be. The therapists previously knew how to apply serious pressure and work through those stubborn knots. Now, it feels like everyone has switched to the gentle setting. I've tried four different therapists, hoping to find someone with the same strength and technique, but no luck so far. Maybe I've just been unlucky with my appointments. If you've already found a therapist who delivers the pressure you like, definitely book them directly. Otherwise, it's a bit of a guessing game. I miss the days when I walked out feeling like someone actually worked on my muscles, not just politely introduced themselves to my back.

I can't believe this massage is $55, it felt like a $100 experience. I'm going back on my birthday!…read more I'm a massage expert at this point as I get 2 massages a month, have gotten them in 11 different countries, and have gotten a 3 hour massage before. My masseuse was Anna, and she was wonderful. Now let's get onto the experience: - ambiance 5/5: if I'm paying this little for a massage I'm not expecting a Hilton massage experience. Most of the time these massage parlors are very no frills. BUT this was very nice. The decor really put you in the mood, the bed and room was clean and welcoming, and the place smelled wonderful and relaxing. - technique and experience 5/5: one of the things I liked was being able to fill out a form and tell my masseuse where to focus on. Unlike most places, they actually took it into consideration! I also am a fan of Swedish and Thai massages. I got Swedish here and asked for Soft, they did soft! - did I feel spoiled? Yes. Most places skimp on massage oil, I LOVE it. They don't skimp on oil, on hot towels, it was just wonderful. - outside looks a little shady but it's a hidden gem for sure!

It's unfortunate that they best massage therapist Martin left…read more I had always requested him because he knew exactly what my body needed and paid attention to knots and would take his time. I had called every week because they kept telling me that he was on vacation and today they finally tell me that he is no longer massaging there. I had one other massage therapist but he wasn't as good. I think his name is Tom. If anyone knows where Martin is massaging now, let me know. He's the man!

They offer a variety of massage services such as Deep Tissue, Thai, Shiatsu, Swedish etc. Furthermore, they offer one FREE massage after you had your 10th massage. They have four dim lit rooms with spa meditation sound for tranquility and relaxation. Today, I came to alleviate my sore back muscles due to the vigorous activity that I did this past weekend. ;D Shhhh! It was my first time at this massage parlor after walking past by it for nearly a decade. I procured a combo (Thai x Deep Tissue) service which cost $60 bucks. Their massage bed-table was covered with clean white sheets and facial head tissue. Moreover, the massage room was clean, neat and odorless. My female massage therapist was great! She applied the correct pressure points on my body and can be adjusted accordingly. After I was serviced, my muscle soreness, especially my lower back, were gone. Prices were competitive. Free rear parking. Collectively, I enjoyed their customer service and massage; I highly recommend this massage spa. I will definitely come back.

I cannot recommend Pho Saim enough; I also cannot say enough great and wonderful things about Jai,…read morethe masseuse who has an extraordinary instinct and healing, theraputic touch. Jai is truly the best. And, no. I am not being paid for this! I even reluctantly mention Jai, because, selfishly, I fear that she will be less and less available. But if anyone deserves a 5-Star +++ review, she IS the one. NOTE: I am only giving 5 stars because I can't give 10 stars. Come to think of it, I should write a second review to add the addtional 5 stars. CJH

I hate to leave negative reviews but this place has gone downhill. The last few times were…read moreprogressively worse and worse. I used to love it.. and have been going since it was near Alvarado. Last weekend will be the last time I go. The therapist didn't ask me if I had any injuries, and quite frankly it was a little dangerous on my joints. Is there any safety training.. doesn't seem like it. Seems shady now. Oh and they also increased their prices which is whatever at this point. I'd happily pay more for a good experience. Their suggested gratuity (before the service, mind you) starts at 25% and the therapist is looking over your shoulder as you pay. It's pretty empty now.. probably won't be around for that much longer. So long, Pho Siam.

Call for appointment in advance to have your spot reserved since it's always packed. The parking is not easy to find though there are 2-hour meter parkings in front of the place.

This place just weirded me out…read more At the end of the $50, 1 hour-massage (which was so-so), the female therapist (I am male) walked out, saying "All done!" She closed the door. I go to put my underwear on, and then she walks back in, unannounced. I'm standing there in my underwear. She goes, "Ooh, you have a beautiful body , like a dancer!" (I don't have a beautiful body and I am not a dancer). She kept complimenting me. I awkwardly got re-dressed in front of her as she stood there and watched me. No joke. So I figure, I guess i will just tip her here in the treatment room. So I hand her a $10 bill. She looks at it and then says "No, TWENTY". I said "Twenty? It's a 50 dollar massage!" and she said "TWENTY DOLLARS FOR ONE HOUR!" I polietely refused, and tried to exit the room but she wouldn't let me -- she was blocking the door! I managed to get by her and then she followed me into the lobby and demanded 20 dollars. I just walked out! It was so weird, and it made me super uncomfortable.

The people who work here are just unbelievably kind, and always go out of their way to make me feel comfortable and taken care of. I've never had trouble making an appointment day-of, and I've had a different masseuse every time and they've all been great! I usually choose to do the Thai combo massage, this time I did 75 minutes (but I wish I'd done longer!) This time I had Martin -- he was very friendly and fun, but not overly chatty, so I still felt relaxed. And he did a great job checking in with me about the pressure he was using, and making sure I was comfortable, at the right temperature, etc. He even managed to massage my legs a little which is no easy task -- I'm SO ticklish on my legs. I asked for medium pressure this time (medium firm last year was also great, but I wanted a little more relaxing and a little less intensity today). I'm sure it's challenging to guess what "medium" means to each person, but he really nailed it! The receptionists are always so nice too, and this time for my birthday she gave me a cup of tea and few other things after my massage. So I got to sit and sip tea and watch the fish and relax, and it was just a really wonderful experience! Thanks to all who work there! We'll be back soon! :)
