Love going here I try to go once a month because they got great stretching and stepping They always have appointments available so that's also a plus when i need to come in last minute read more

I loved my massage from here. Pricing is very affordable. Decor is cute. They gave a cup of tea at the end as well. Loved it !

Disappointing, they have a paper asking you in detail what you want concentrated on and what you want them to avoid or not massage. Well toss all that out the window! She couldn't speak a lick of English and did her routine with no regards for what I asked for and basically gave me a 2 hour limbs massage when I had specifically had asked my back to be worked on! Website advertises 2 hour massage $120, they charged me $130! Not going there again. read more

By far the best massage I've had in a long time. I'd never had a Thai massage before so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was better than I could've imagined. The knots in my shoulder blades and arms got worked out like never before. The masseuse took her time and made it a relaxing experience. My favorite part was the head massage at the end. I'll definitely be going back. read more

This place is great . I take my wife every week. She is very I'll and is in bed alot and when she leaves ,she feels amazing, relaxed and her body heals . We always ask for Tanya , she is amazing , she will make every muscle and nerve crack , releases knots and tension , from the bottom of your feet all the way to your head .. I'm a big man 6ft 1" 260 lbs and she makes me hurt and almost cry , but when she is done, you feel amazing for days. When she treats my wife she it is still strong but very caring and careful . Highly recommend this place and Tanya especially. read more

Over 90% of the Thai population are Buddhist. Although Buddhism originated in India, Buddhism plays a larger role in Thailand than in India since their country mostly reverted back to Hinduism after their civil war. That being said, Ayodhya Thai looks like a mini Buddhist home temple as you drive up and down Indian Hill Boulevard. As soon as you turn into their private lot, there is a peaceful ambiance about the business with many Buddhist sculptures that makes their exterior look like a Buddhist garden. Ayodhya Thai is actually my favorite go-to Thai massage place, but there are few things that annoys me slightly about the business. They seem to be short staffed and most calls will go to voicemail during business hours until they are done with their current customers. The phone call situation is so messy one time I actually made an appointment for two but they only had one person available and we had to wait for someone to drive over from their sister location. It's also really weird how they keep their front door locked while they are with a customer so even though you rang the doorbell, you'll be standing on their front porch waiting on Indian Hill Boulevard. If you're not from the area, this isn't somewhere you want to stand around. Their sister location Mint Leaf up the street provides a better waiting area, but they have the same phone issues and this place is cheaper ($45/hr) so I still come back here. When you come in, please take off your shoes!! They provide some home slippers and loose baggy fisherman clothes for you to change into so they can optimally massage and twist you up thai pretzel style. The massage beds are on the floor so that there is space for them to twist you into a bunch of positions. I've seen the cute old Thai lady do a little prayer before starting the massage before she started our massage session. You can tell they have the utmost respect for your body as they maneuver your body into the optimal stretches and poses. If it's your first time don't be shy and tell them if you want it harder or softer. Thai massages are definitely not gentle. They are in my opinion one of the best massages if you want real results. I even took my friend here one time after her car accident and the lady seemed to know all of her aching spots and applied an oil ointment to sooth her pains. Despite my struggles with making the appointment, Ayodhya Thai is still my favorite Thai massage spot based on their superior quality. The friendly Thai ladies are always smiling at me when I come and I usually forget my frustration by the time I leave completely stretched out and free of my knots and pains. read more

If you like a deep massage and someone who will focus on the area that you specify, this is your spot. Best massage I've ever had every time I go. Daisy is my favorite. She is so strong and she completely fixed the problem with my glutes by tackling my entire hamstring. I felt like I wanted to scream through some of the massage but it's what I signed up for. Deep tissue and she delivered! read more

I recently discovered this place on a business trip. I had a few hours to kill and ended up getting a Thai massage here. The ambience was beautiful, and it had its own private parking lot. It was a miniature oasis in LA. They were able to fit me and immediately for last minute massage. It was very cost-effective at $60 for a 1.5 hour massage. It was a bit painful as I was very sore, but is very therapeutic. I had the older male masseuse who was excellent despite my occasional cries of pain (ouch!). Don't ask for hard massage as it's borderline painful. :) Keep in mind that Thai massage is very different from traditional massage. It's much more focused on stretching, deep massage, and acupressure. While this massage wasn't the same thing is getting one at the Wai Pao monastery in Bangkok, it was still two thumbs up. read more

I think I might've just had the best massage in my life here. I've been having some neck pain for the past few months so I've been going to a few massage places. The last 2 experiences I had were not that good. Either the massage was so-so or their was a language barrier. I was treated at Ayodhya by some guy named "Cho." I don't know how to spell his name or if I even heard it correctly. At any rate, it was an amazing massage that was a very good price. I let him know my neck was hurting and he did a lot of focus there. I asked for a 1 hour massage ($45) but it felt like it was 1.5 hours. It was easy to give a $10 tip. I would recommend this massage spot to anyone looking for a quality massage at a good price ($45 for 1 hour or $60 for 1.5 hours). The place is small and doesn't look like more than 4 people could get a massage at the same time. When I came no one was there so maybe that's why I got lots of attention. I would drive more than 30 minutes just to come here if I was dying for a good Thai massage. read more

Amazing workers. Made an appointment, they told me I could come earlier than the given time they made for me. So I showed up and they took me right away at 4:15. It looked like a home/business, really soothing and a nice quiet dark atmosphere for you to feel relaxed. I have a lower back pain in which Kate had helped me out. I told her only my lower back hurts and she focused the lower part of my body for a good amount. At the end of the session she told me that my back was a little weird and told me it was slightly tilted in a way. Ironically, the only way anyone can tell is if you used an x-ray. (I have a bad lower back from sitting too much lol) so I was pretty impressed by working with my body she was able to figure out that much. This is not a typical relaxation massage where you lie down in a chair, you lie down in a bed that the masseuse can work around with their body and yours. If you feel in any way discomforted, inform the masseuse as I did because they don't know your body and are working with what they assume to know, so please be informative with them. 45$ for one whole hour, they even offered me tea as a kind gesture. I'd highly recommend this place as this was my first time getting a Thai massage. Different experience than other places and I was extremely happy with how my lower back felt and so I decided to write this review a 5/5. read more

Wow. I'm always skeptical about these affordable massage places, but I'm so grateful I found this gem in Pomona! I had a crooked neck and I think I'm getting carpal tunnel so my arms were on fire. Pin was so professional and the best I have had. She stretched every area of tension and I feel like a million bucks. I will definitely make this place my official go to place. Save your money on those over priced chain places and save your money on those ripoff cheap/ creepy places and come here. It was a full hour, no minutes cheated! So refreshing :) read more

I really enjoy going to Ayodhya to get my Thai massage. At first I had Kat I think that's her name. She was amazing she also walked on my back and it felt great. The second time I got a young man that was very hard on me he did a great job too. But I was sore for a couple of days. I love the fact that they give you Thai comfortable loose clothing for your massage. That way they can Stretch u you out every which way. Can't wait to come back. read more

Thai massage was definitely an interesting experience, especially if you are the kind of girl that's used to Burke Williams and all those Swedish massages.. This location looks like its in the middle of a residential neighborhood and looks like a house.. The massage room is one room broken up into three sections.. so your massage isn't necessarily private.. it's only separated by a curtain.. so it was a little disturbing that you can hear some of the others conversations with their massage therapist.. and you can hear the groans of satisfied customers.. I think I even heard a little toot come out too.. The massage was interesting.. it's interactive.. instead of lying there like a lump of flesh.. they pull and push and twist and step.. It's not "relaxing" in the sense that you can fall asleep in the middle of the massage.. but you know that all that tension will be pulled.. pushed.. twisted.. and stepped out of you.. and you leave rather relaxed.. I would recommend this place totally.. just be prepared in knowing this isn't Burke Williams in any sense.. but go.. read more

Amazing experience. Thai massage is like doing yoga with a learned partner who will gently guide you through the poses and also expertly massage you as well. You leave feeling light and free of pain. The atmosphere at this place is quite lovely: the outside is a tidy, bright garden with stone statues, a small oasis in the middle of a busy, rather common street. The inside of the establishment is clean, cool and utterly relaxing. If I could take a nap in the cozy massage areas I certainly would! After the massage I enjoyed a cup of jasmine tea. All is well in the world after a visit to Ayodhya. read more

I really enjoy a great Thai massage. That said, I hardly EVER get mind-blowing Thai massages...except in S\an Francisco from someone named Paula (some amazing gymnastics), or from someone named Nak in Chiang Mai (who is blind and can find ALL spots and crack them -even between my tibia and fibula). My friend treated me to a 1 hr massage. Was absolutely RAVING about this place. I now know why. The decor is FAB, and not overly done up. It is graceful and the fragrance of green jasmine tea hits the spot. The Feng Shui is done nicely as well and has a positive flow. The outside of the place is also beautiful at night with wooden statues and a pretty cool (and functional) swing. Kind of what you would find on an expensive Asian veranda. The inside is gorgeous. It really is. Nice and clean, but not hit-you-over-the-head minimalist either. They had no idea if I was Thai or not. Hey, I look like the boy next door in most of Asia and Latin America. There were some newbies there, and I was talking to them. I lived in Thailand for a little while, so I was able to explain a lot of their questions away...while I was sitting comfortably on the floor -in a way that looks a bit Thai. Some of the folks who work there noticed this, and made some comments -to which I slyly answered in Thai...but hey, I'm not Thai...and I had to say that early on. One of the comments had something to do with herbal tinctures, poultices and how to use them. ...the other was when I was first putting up my hair...they said something under their breath -and I gave them a sharp look because I understood the funny comment at my expense. I pointed at the guy who I wanted to massage me. He wasn't available because his back was starting to hurt. LOL. I wonder why... maybe it was cuz he was a little cute...and I was sizing up his strength. They gave me an older, friendly guy. Who DIDN'T give me enough pressure. I kept asking for it in Thai. He just didn't do it hard enough. At one point, about 25 minutes into the massage, I got frustrated and asked if I could show him. He tried harder. I told him to eventually use his elbows -on my palms. I told him to use his knees...but he had finished my back by the time it registered that I like it pretty deep. It also didn't register to him just how I don't seem to have bones. I'm VERY flexible...and I don't require a warm up. He went about his routine -but I felt NOTHING. After a few of the same moves, I started to flex and stretch my legs myself. He sorta stumbled into me -he started to get the hint that my limbs go A LOT further. It's funny how confusion and amazement register so quickly when someone gives me a massage. We both giggled quite a bit. He would (try to) put me in a stretch. And I would adjust myself and get another 30 or so degrees into the stretch. Especially with my hyper mobile toes, feet and ankles. (Somewhere on youtube is a vid of my feet opening a jar of pickles in Goatikin's community garden.) I started to assist him in how I wanted a better massage. At the end, I asked him if he wanted me to give him a one minute massage. He quickly acquiesced. He left the room so I could put my street clothes on. He had apparently run to the rest of the staff and my friend with the comment "HE KEPT ASKING HARDER AND HARDER!!" I put my clothes on and gave him a full minute of stretching and simultaneous compression with my knees and elbows. I asked him a few times "Jep mai?" (does it hurt?) and he really enjoyed those 60 seconds. What he took 20 minutes to do to my body, I did in 30 seconds to his. I'm very effective, controlled and expedient with bodywork. (If you go through yelp, you'll find comments about me) Then it REALLY dawned on him HOW MUCH BETTER I AM AT DOING THIS, and that the massage I received could have been much much better, faster, stronger. (Thank you Daft Punk). He could have worked out some of his own childhood trauma out on my back and I would have enjoyed it. He asked if we could exchange moves. Nah. I have to attend a reptile super show. I told him I don't live there and that I was visiting for only a day. In any case, all of us had a good laugh. I told him if I ever meet him again, maybe I'll give him two minutes. Maybe. I tried to tip him by shaking his hand. Apparently, that was his first time to get tipped within a handshake because he certainly didn't understand what I was doing. For me, that was precious. -The one with more understanding has more responsibility... I could've been an awful and mean client. But I understood the situation a lot better and tried to make it better as well. The staff asked me for my card. LOL. We don't really have to get into it here. Good space. Good people. Good massage. Good price. What else do you want???? read more

Nom is AMAZING! My first Thai massage ever and I will definitely be returning. She found every single painful spot and applied just the right amount of pressure. I have never had such an intense massage that managed to work out all of the areas that were painful. Nom definitely wasn't afraid to apply pressure which other massage therapists might have been lacking. For those of you who have never had a Thai massage it is different than any spa massage you've ever had. First you are clothed for this experience. You are given a loose linen top and fisherman liner pants, you keep your underwear in but ladies remove your bra. You are then taken to one of two rooms. The room I was in had one long platform that was divided into 3 bed like areas divided by curtains. There are pillows as well. My only complaint was that unlike massage tables there was no doughnut hole for your face so when laying face down you have to keep your head to one side or have your face down in a pillow. That was mildly uncomfortable. Nom literally worked on every major muscle group in my body. The clothing you wear is loose on purpose and the move the clothing to reach specific areas. She did apply direct contact with oils to my back as well as worked on top of the clothing. Nom used her hands, elbows, forearms, knees and feet to work out the tension. She also did specific stretches to help looses up the muscles and relax my spine. You cannot beat the price if $45 for an hour and $60 for 90 min. I only did an hour yesterday but will definitely opt for the longer massage in the future. This place is a gem and I highly recommend it to anyone who has had deep tissue massage in the past and needs that extra deep pressure. read more

I was a little sketch when I saw the 909 metal gate surrounding this hole in the wall find but as soon as we stepped in through the door it was like walking into a different world. I had never had a Thai massage, but I had been having vertigo recently, and needed my energy to be circulated. They first give you clothes to change into - loose pants and a loose shirt. FYI, the pants tie in the BACK, not the front. They really need instruction manuals. And then, you go in this curtained room, and the magic happens. And boy was it magical. I'm sitting sore to the core because they rocked my world. Stretching limbs, beating muscles. Pushing joints that I didn't think needed to be pushed. I think I'm a little bit in love with the masseuse I had. Especially when he whispered if it felt good. Don't worry, it's not a happy ending type of a massage place, despite the proximity to Holt. It was strictly PG - 10 and a half. It was definitely amazing and totally worth the $45/hour. And I haven't had a dizzy spell since. read more

Been here more than a handful of times this past few years and just got reminded today of why I return here after trying out various other similar price ranged massages ($40-$50). They don't only give you a great massage tailored to your preference in pressure but they also stretch you out in ways that aren't even possible to do yourself in yoga! I love it! I always seem to end up getting the same guy so I asked him for his name today and learned it was Chok and he is great :) The place is great! I love coming here by myself and getting the single room and even more when I come with others in the room that fits 3 clients together. This room's setting is comfortable and unique. Oh and the shirt & fisher pants they provide you to change into is quite comfy! The hot, fragrant jasmine tea at the end of the message is a wonderful touch! read more

I am a massage therapist myself, and once I discovered the joys of Thai massage here at Ayodhya, I have not gone back to other styles of massage! Ayodhya staff are all welcoming with very bright and happy dispositions. This place is a small home away from Thailand, peacefully set back from the main road in Pomona, literally just south of the 10 freeway, with easy access. This is a wonderful place to go alone or with a group for a massage. The price is amazing and very affordable, so go and try for yourself! They have a sister store in Claremont on First Street, which is even more beautiful, but $10 more per massage session. ( At the moment there is no difference in price) There are two types of massage available, straight Thai and Thai/West combo. Both are excellent. Worth a trip and worth a gift to someone you love. read more

This is the first time I've given a 3 star review. Usually my opinion is you like it or you don't, no in between. This place was just ok for me. I got a tiny lady so that was the biggest problem. She wasn't strong enough for me and I need a lot of even pressure. Sometimes her pressure would be hard but she was so tiny it felt like a sharp poke. The place was really nice and clean. I liked the garden, it was peaceful looking. My friend got a male masseuse and she said she really liked it. Since she was right next to me with just a curtain dividing us I could tell that her massage was going a lot better than mine. I'm kinda bummed that I didn't enjoy it more during the massage but my sore shoulders do feel better now that it's over. read more

Such a hidden gem in Pomona. The place is quiet and tranquil, service is always nice and massage is even better! I know it's a good massage place when I can fall asleep during the session and I did. Definitely can't beat the price. read more

My favorite place in the world. Always the way I like the massages and prices is on point. Don't miss the opportunity to try this gem out!!! I wish I lived closer. read more

I was tense and every muscle & tendon was in knots. I read the reviews and decided to give this a try. I hadn't tried Thai massage before, but I absolutely love it over the traditional for pain. I had a full 90 minute total body massage by Judy. She even gave me pointers for at home maintenance between massages. The Indian Hill location is a small house with beautiful gardens. Inside is a serene atmosphere. Much more relaxing than a storefront or office park setting (in my opinion). English is not strong, but if you listen carefully & be patient you'll get it. I recommend this location for full body massage read more

I really didn't know what to expect, and I was apprehensive. The experience was great. Its fully clothed, which is different, but man it had been a while. Tony listened when I said the pressure was too hard, could tell spots where I was stiff. $45 is a great deal. This was one of the better massage places Ive been to. The only criticism is I currently need a lot of in depth shoulder and chest work, and they focus more on whole body, so I'll have to go elsewhere to find that, but for a whole body, I *highly* recommend for dancers, lifters, or people who want to focus on opening up muscles and flexibility. read more

Very professional workers and overall good experience.Although the place looks like it's a house, the decor is appealing.They even have a random elderly couple lounging in the front of the building, giving it the air of a family business.They cater your massage to your requests and ask about problem areas. $45 dollars for traditional Thai massage. If you've never had this type of massage know that you won't enjoy it but if your muscles are sore, you will feel much better after. They give you a loose top and shorts to wear during the massage so you won't be uncomfortable about being naked while they walk on you. read more

First time getting a massage. I looked at previous reviews and decided to give it a try since for the past few days I had a lot of tension on my left shoulder. It was well worth it especially for their affordable price! Humble people that make you feel comfortable and welcome as soon as you step in the door. I got my massage with what looked to be the owner. It was a little painful but I feel better already! My sister got one at the same time with a lady. She said she was good too but after telling each other what they each did, it seemed like the lady didnt do a lot of the things the man did. Hopefully next time my sister experiences what I got to. We will definitely return. :) read more

A game of Twister anyone? The name of the game is to see how close you can come to reaching your nose with your knees! Haha, just kidding. I can honestly say that I knew what I was getting myself into and feared that I would be ultra nauseated after the treatment. I was well relaxed at the end of it all. Located on the border of Claremont/Pomona, this massage place is literally a converted house. The place is clean and updated (nice wood floors, btw.) with a serene feel. We were greeted at the door and given slippers and PJ looking tops and bottoms to change into. Me and 2 of my girlfriends shared a massage room (literally a room with curtains to separate us). Laying on the comfy pad on the floor, I was close to napping. Choc (sp?) was my masseuse. He did a pretty good job with the kneading and stretching. At one point, I wasn't sure where he was going or what he was trying to attempt to do with my leg going one way and my arms the other and throwing in an over the head trick. I just kept my eyes closed to not freak myself out. I was wondering how much he weighed. At one point, both feet were on my back legs, with knees on my back and hands on my shoulders (you can figure that out). The best move was feet on my back while I'm sitting Indian style as he pulls my arms back - spine did the domino click. That was the best! For $60/90min. this was worth every penny. I have to check my calendar to book a follow-up massage. Oh, and the tea at the end is quite tasty. read more

Wow! I was really hoping to like this place. Receptionist was hard to understand and gets mad at me for asking her to repeat herself. As soon as I get there I am stared at like a foreigner. Four guys on a bench staring at me as I walk in is not a pleasant experience for a 20 something girl. Guy takes his own tip as he is giving me my money back. Next day I am in more pain than when I came in and finding new knots in my legs where I had no problem before. Thanks fellow yelp reviewers... Really! read more

I highly recommend this place. I had my massage done by Tony. Thank you so much Tony. My back was hurting so badly upon arrival. After leaving, I felt amazing. To-date, I feel so relaxed. I will continue to get my massages here. Note-be sure to make an appointment read more

Went for Thai massage and combination massage with friend couple weeks ago. Great environment, great massages, and reasonable price :)

Came to the Ayodhya because of a friend referral and all the 5 stars and great reviews! 1st time and I will definitely return! Kin Kong is the best! Cracked my back, blood flowing and I am SO relaxed! You can not beat $45 for 1 hour! read more

This place Is amazing - the girls were thorough and kept on checking on me while the massage. The sheets , linens and the room was clean and spotless. Prices are good as well. I would highly recommend this place. These folks know their craft! read more

I got a chance to visit here and get an hour massage and it was wonderful. I had this lady named Manie and she was really accomodating. She was able to get rid of all the knots in my neck and shoulders. I loved it when she twisted my body to make my back crack. It was such a release. This is truly a unique place. You will definately say what have I gotten myself into when you drive up but just park, go inside and give it a try. read more

Love love this place bring my mom here every 2 month for deep tissue massage she walks out feeling amazing

Super amazing service!! Beyond fair pricing!! Stopping here every time I pass thru!! Well worth the drive from anywhere tho. Best massages and stretch I've had in a long time!!!! Thank you!!!! read more

See all

First time getting a Thai massage and I loved it. Will definitely be coming back here!

Its always very easy to make an appointment for the same day. The facility is very serene and clean. I'm so glad to find this place in Pomona of all places. The massages are traditional thai. Most of the masseuses are great. Perfect pressure and positions. Except for one lady (long hair & middle aged), I didn't get to catch her name. But she seems to be new doesnt know what she is doing. Hopefully she will learn in due time. read more

I got a massage here about 3 months ago after one of my friends recommended it to me. I headed there straight after work (after a very long day actually). I remember I had to call my friend to make sure I was at the right place... the outside can be a bit deceiving. After confirming I was at the right place, I went in and it was as if I was in a whole different world. Everyone was pleasant and polite, the massage itself was great. Highly recommend it! read more

All I want say is WOW! It is easy to find the place and they provide enough space for parking. Inside deco is clean and special. I love it. It seems that I go back Bkk or Phuket. Their employee are amazing too. Go try a staff named Wendy. She does a great job! Overall it is a good experience. I will be there once two weeks for sure. read more

Ayodhya Thai Holistic Therapy - Massage Near Me - Clairemont, California

This is THE place! My best friend and I come here to get our stress-relieving fix and it is always on point! All of the massage therapists are great. It's not your typical Swedish massage with all the frilly oils. First, you enter this serene environment with candles and soft music. This is great especially since the place is located in a seedy area of P-town where you see your typical hobo on the street...(also a sign that you will be surrounded by great food...) Anyway...then, you wear these super comfy slippers and then change into fisherman's pants and a loose-fitting shirt. I love the fisherman's pants...I would totally wear them to the mall with a cami. Then, they lay you down and start massaging you. It's like they are doing the yoga moves for you as you do all these Superman moves. I felt like a rice crispy treat...I was just snapping, crackling and popping all over the place. It felt soooo good! I always feel realigned each time I go. All of the massage therapists are phenomenal....BUT...the male masseuse is where it's AT! I've always been the "female only please" for a massage therapist...but this time, I was like hey...why not!? OMG! He was so good, if he had massaged me any longer, I would have inquired about his marital status. He does this thing where he rolls your back from side to side, and then, he whispers, "Hold my hands", and pulls your arms as he presses on your back. Wow! I can't wait to go back! All the therapists are truly gifted, professional, and very experienced. I suggest making an appointment. They also serve delicious hot tea after. This beats your typical over-priced Glen Ivy any day... My best friend wants to find one in San DIego and I want to find one in San Francisco...but there's only one place that's just purely amazing, and that's the Ayodhya Thai place! read more
