I purchased two gift certificates in June 2023 (paid cash) and attempted to use them today, February 14, 2026. Despite federal law (CARD Act) requiring gift certificates to be valid for at least 5 years, these had a printed 6-month expiration. When I explained the federal law requirement to the owner over speakerphone, he became belligerent and stated directly: "I don't care what the law states, they are expired." He then admitted he's issued "lots of gift certificates" that have expired and refuses to honor any of them. Even after the front desk employee confirmed she personally issued these certificates, the owner refused to honor them or make any exception. I'm deeply disappointed. This isn't just about poor customer service - this is a business owner openly admitting he doesn't care about federal consumer protection laws. I'm filing a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division. Warning to others: If you've purchased gift certificates from this business, they may refuse to honor them regardless of what the law requires. Spend your money at businesses that respect both their customers and the law. read more

amazing every time I come. I've been over ten times and have never had a bad a massage. I would recommend this place to anyone who is experiencing back pain. Tony and Wendy were excellent!! I'll be coming back read more

I'm pretty sure the masseuses here are not trained. However, my masseuse sure worked hard, I could hear him breathing heavily at times. I appreciate the effort and pressure that he put in. One thing he needs to be aware of is boundaries, he would somewhat massage the sides of my breasts and when he was wiping off the massage oil from my thighs, his hand quickly grazed past my private area. He did some weird stretch with each of my arms that made me arch my back, this stretch was not necessary and achieved nothing but discomfort. Also I have my doubts regarding the sanitation practices of this place, and particularly my masseuse. When he left to grab a wet towel to wipe off the oils, I heard a toilet flush but I didn't hear a sink running afterwards for washing his hands. Grossed me out. So overall, a very weird experience but he did work on my back and knots with strong pressure. read more

I tried booking for two online but you can only do one. Huh??? I called, but the person who answered the phone said "hello." Not very professional. We'll go elsewhere. read more

Caution: fraudulent massage scam My back hurts so bad that I'm doubled over, taking a handful of prescription medication just to be able to go to work. Thinking of going to the doctor as I'm in an incredible amount of pain and lidocaine patches and ketoprofen gel isn't helping. Lee rubbed my back with a scratchy cheap sheet, then poured so much oil that she glided up and down my back using her forearms superficially on my skin. Tried telling her that her cheap oil was giving me an allergic reaction but no one spoke English. I asked her to massage my muscles, but only 1/3 employees spoke enough English to process a payment. Then a man switched with her and he had sandpaper rough hands, who also had no clue about human anatomy. He applied too much pressure to my spine, and went against the muscle fibers, digging in and causing multiple knots to form where I was previously pain free. The business used to be run by other people but now is under new management. Anyone know how to legally report this so that it doesn't happen to someone else? They took payment for 1hr despite only doing 40mins when I got up and said enough is enough. read more

Pros: I walked in sore and left feeling limber. It was a deep tissue approach. Cons: The massage therapist that worked on me was sick with a runny nose, coughed several times and left to blow nose a few times. I never heard him wash his hands after blowing his nose but could clearly hear him spit and cough and blow his nose. I can only hope he used hand sanitizer??? He had a mask on but as the service progressed I realized he was much sicker than I realized. I asked him if he was ok but he did not respond. I should have left right away when I noticed. No employee should work that closely with people when sick like that. I'll update this post in a week if I get COVID. Sadly, I think there is a pretty good chance he has it. read more

If you are looking for a softer massage, this is not your place. These Asian masseuse practitioners are focused on body and bone alignment, which can be a challenge for some, particularly for first-timers. This massage style is not for everyone, but for me I absolutely LOVE the reflexology massage I get here. I have been coming here for years now. My last visit was pre-Covid so i was well overdue to get a treatment. After exclusively working from home for 14 months. my body was a wreck. It's hard to beat their price, $69 for 90 mins, are you kidding me?? They've since added heat rocks to the massage which was a new experience for me. The feet in hot water and the uncomfortable position you first lay in are all intentional and part of the experience. I even take my 75 yo mom here. They know how to go softer if you need them to. Rather than relying on words she simply lets out a small pain-like sound if the masseuse is getting too strong for her. It works, and she sits a little taller after the experience. If your adventurous, give em a whirl. read more

Great foot massage. She added in some stretches. It was worth the money. I will go back next time my feet are sore.

My friend and I were looking for a place to have a massage while we were visiting Denver. We called a few places and they were all booked. We decided to search for reflexology and found Bamboo Forest. We chose a 90 minute foot and back with hot stones and oil. We were taken to a room with several massage type tables - more like a nail spa setup. There was quiet music and dim lights. The massage began with a face and scalp massage, then neck, shoulders and arms, then legs - then the foot reflexology- very good!! Then you turn over and there is a spot in the face cradle for your face. Next is a very deep back massage - lots of shoulder and work along the muscles of the spine and also pressure to glutes (I had shorts on and kept my shorts on) Then finishing with hot stones. This was a very healing experience. read more

My wife and I went here for her birthday, our wedding anniversary and father's day. Absolutely disappointed with service. $50 for a hour skin rub that was suppose to be an actual massage After 45 minutes of laying thete waiting for more that my skin rubbed I stopped the session. We paid our $100 and the lady said we didn't need to tip them. I hit the ceiling at that point and left. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. It's nasty, rundown and the owner/staff are certified in massage and apparently have no idea what they are doing. read more

Bad Massage for me and even worse for my wife! Had a couples massage and they spent most of the time on my head and feet. Lots of elbow in the back massage and very rough on the hot stones. Terrible experience!! They were not very friendly either!! Stay away!!! read more

One of the best massages I've ever received. If you're tight and knotted up from working hard, I'd highly recommend. No wasted movements from the masseuse with a focus on deep tissue. I will be returning. If it's kardashian frills and light banter you're looking for, maybe not for you. It is a place to go when your body needs a rejuvenating tune up from a professional who understands the nuances of anatomy. read more

My friend and I got "foot massages" which customarily include a general massage over clothing. I ended up being directed to remove my top and bra DURING the massage and my was directed to remove his pants and shirt mid massage. Both were an older couple and neither spoke English so we couldn't communicate any questions or reservations we felt about this. But the final incident was my friend said that during the massage the lady pulled his butt cheek over and elbow massaged his rectum! He jumped then moved a little and thought maybe she did it by accident only to have her repeat the process beginning with pulling his other butt cheek. Unfortunately he prepaid the massages with tips and since they wouldn't understand what we were upset about without a translator, we just left. I have probably 40 reflexology foot massages at various places and never have I ever!!!! read more

This is a great place for a real deal non American massage haha! They get to it! No playing around. They take you through the wringer, making sure to hit the spots needing work, then pop you back into the world anew and refreshed. Get the 1 hour body and let go. read more

If I could give less stars I would. 90 min massage did I get it no it from the start time to finish time it was 50 mins The 1st person I had kept leaving to talk to the front. Then her coworkers kept coming in to talk to her. She pretty much just pressed on me the whole time. Then I would say the last 15 minutes she left saying she would be back and some man finished the massage. Then they had the nerve to ask why I didn't tip! Avoid! read more

I called to make an appointment and was told 5:00 pm. I arrived on time and was taken to the back where I had to lay on the table and wait 30 mins for my massage. My lower back hurt for 3 days after because that table has no support for your lumbar. They're equipment is dated, used, and not comfortable. read more

This place is legit. I felt loved and cared for by my masseuse. They can be a little rough here, but I enjoy it 99% of the time. Got cupping done today and it was good as well. Good pricing and decent quality work! Thank you Bamboo Forest and whatever my masseuse's name it. read more

This place is nasty. First of all you cannot even understand the receptionist. She led us into the back room where there was another man getting a massage and told us to takeoff all of our clothes and lie down. I looked around like she was joking. My husband said he wanted a private room so then they let us into another room that still had 4 beds in it. She told us to takeoff her clothes and lay down and I asked her if I could at least have a towel to cover myself. She went in the other room and got a towel but nothing for my husband LOL I look down at the bed and could tell it was already used and the sheets were not changed. Needless to say we did not get massages and left that Jenkee place. read more

We really enjoy this location. They usually can accommodate us quickly. We have come here at least 4 or 5 times and is our main "foot massage" place. You keep your clothes on but take off your shoes and socks so they can be soaked in water and cleaned. They are very inexpensive as well. We will be back! read more

Amazing!! Great prices! Great massage! Excellent Deep tissue! Mary is the Bomb! read more

I really wanted to like this place but I had a rash for a week on my legs and my back after the massage. When I was leaving I noticed they reused some of the towels so they are not the most sanitized people. I've also been to Min's Foot Spa on Alameda thats a lot newer and they use gloves when touching your feet so give them a try and compare. Price is the same $25/hr. Parking is on east side of Federal but it only has 3 spots. There's a lot next to it. The people are nice and quality of massage will depend on the therapist. read more

Thanks Yelp! I found this place a few months ago and finally had the time to head here with my co-worker. We came in a little after 10:30AM and were told the massages were by appointment only and the next available was in 30 mins. We left and came back and were ready for some relaxing awesomeness. My feet started to soak and my masseur massaged my face and shoulders. WOW! I was relaxed within minutes and couldn't wait for the rest. After my arms she moved on to my feet which were amazing. I thought this little woman could not push hard enough but she got in there and I was in heaven. Finally she moved to my back. OHHH MMM GGG. I love me some deep tissue and she worked it like there was no other. $25? Heck a $15 tip made it totally worth it and now I HAVE to come back. read more

This is by far one of the best deals in town. I had the $25.00/hour massage (no Yelp specials now) but it does not matter as it was worth every penny. When you go, wear something very comfortable as clothes stay on during the massage. Great pressure and stretching. read more

I've been coming here since 2006. Every time I come I'm reminded of my younger years when my Filipina grandmother would work all the knots out of my body. The decor is basic, but that's not what you're here for. The massage is deep, intense, and effective! Theses guys know their stuff and are similar to other Asian massages I have received. read more

Tony is the reason my back no longer hurts. Last month after a trip, I was calling chiropractor offices on a Sunday so I could get adjusted because I was I so much pain. Of course, none were open. Plan B was a massage, and so glad I found this place on Yelp. I left knowing I was better and day by day the pain lessened and three days later there was no back pains. I now make this a regular habit after a trip! read more

We had the worst experience at Bamboo Forest. I love a massage with good pressure; however this was painful and uncomfortable. My husband actually left with bruises on his back. I'm really surprised by the other reviews. read more

My daughter and I feel lucky to have gotten a last minute massage appointment here. Two one hour massages for $40 each. I was amazed by the cost but most of all we loved the massage. It is not your conventional massage. We stayed fully dressed but we left feeling much more relaxed. Included in the full body massage was a great scalp, facial and foot massage. My back was really tight and stiff going in and I felt much better afterword. read more

Very bad experience The place is so sketchy. The lady at the front seemed like she was sedated. The room they put me in for the massage with creepy and nothing seemed sanitary. They put a gross blanked over me and put my feet in an actual bucket with a blue liquid. The very large man comes in and does not know a word of English. He snaps at you to get your attention and to signal you to move. He fell asleep multiple times while he was massaging my feet. I am going to be covered in bruises. At one point, this 400 lb man is on top of me and jumping on my back with his knees (I am a 23 year old girl). He almost broke my fingers during the hand massage portion. He spread my arms so far apart with so much force that I thought they were going to break out of the sockets. When the massage was over (which I was VERY happy about), he just snapped at you and then walked out. The entire massage he was wearing pajama pants and flip flops so it was so loud when he was walking around. I wanted to end the massage early the whole time but I didn't know how to communicate with him. I also couldn't tell him that he was really hurting me. When I went to the lady at the desk to pay, she just looked at me and didn't say a word. So I just paid and ran out of there. She never even said thank you or a single word for that matter. Definitely better to spend more money elsewhere. I was on edge the whole time. It caused more knots in my back instead of less. read more

Amazing! Did an hour oil massage with William and the technique and bodywork was so good! Although he said he didn't speak English, I told him my neck and shoulders were in pain, pointed to the areas, and he took special attention to the areas I asked for. This was my first Asian massage experience and I am so impressed! read more

Don't let the high volume of reviews tempt you. IDK what my friend and I experienced, but it was not relaxing nor did we leave feeling good or relaxed. You get what you pay for no doubt. Besides the unprofessionalism of the entire setup, what we went thru was wild. They definitely apply pressure in all the wrong places. I think my spine was worked on more than anything else, OUCH! The nuisance of our masseuses phones ringing, they answer it, and left multiple times during our only 30min massage. Even getting into the bed was weird, told me I can get naked and then they stand and watch. Needless to say I left my bra and pants on and laid face down. Once she covered me I removed my bra, also whilst being watched. Almost a week later and we both are still laughing at the insane experience and complaining about our aches still. I left a nice tip just because I felt like my girl just hated being there and getting a shit tip wouldn't have helped her enjoy it anymore. Hope she gets the opportunity to find something she loves, because she shouldn't be doing massages. read more

I actually have passed by this place for years. Here and there I would go to a massage at a school. After many hours of a wait at times. As recently I stopped paying a monthly due at a more expensive massage company. However, I really have been stressed out. So I reviewed Yelp and found that Julian and Lee were highly recommended. I am sure that the other people who work here are great too. I just saw their names. I am jumping for joy at the wonderful massage as well as prices were so very reasonable. Only $30/hour. I ended up getting 90 minutes. I really enjoyed it. It's a little different than a regular American type massage. But I felt so great afterwards I am looking to return weekly if possible. I felt so much better to say the least. This shop was welcoming NS WONDERFUL. read more

This place is awesome! No frills. No fuss. I try to go at least once a month. It's worth way more than what you pay! I highly recommend.

This was my first full body massage and I cannot say enough great things about it. If you want a massage that is worth your money, this is the place. Honestly, they should charge more. Great place, kind people, and amazing massage!! read more

My girlfriends and I tried this place after a quick yelp search when our normal massage place had too long of a wait, and thank goodness for that because this place blew it out of the water. Look, a massage is a massage so I'm not going to go too far in detail. It feels freaking awesome when someone rubs you down- you don't need the play by play. At any cheap, hour long full body massage place I've been to there's a routine. Start on your face, do your head and neck, shoulders, arms, feet, legs, turn over, butt, back etc. The thing that sets this place apart was that when they felt a knot they took the time to work it out, deviating from the routine that most less expensive places stick to in an effort to keep the time low. A knot in my neck, my back, wherever- when the woman working with me felt it she took the time to knead it out, leaving me feeling fantastic. As I sit writing this, with my typical hunched posture creating a new backache, all I want to do is get in my car and rush on over because I left feeling so great. Sometimes you have to treat yourself, and I think $45 (it's really $30 for a full body, hour long massage but tip well on cheap services if its deserved, people) is a fair price to make yourself feel like you're floating on air. read more

I really liked it. I haven't had a massage in a while and needed one, especially my back and neck. I had Peter who kept checking in on me to see if the pressure was too much. Although some of it hurt, my back and neck feel SOOOOO MUCH better. Even though I didn't understand the language, we used google translate to make sure I got what I needed. I'll definitely come back here read more

Holy god. Go. Now. I'm still melting from how good this was. $20 for first-time Yelpers, $25 regular. I already booked another massage for next week. I can barely type becuz mah fingrs r so rlaxed. Srsly, go. read more

I guess I had pretty high expectations from the fact that this place has 4.5 stars. I went here today with my mom and brother. We were told the $25 for a full hour or $15 for half hour doesn't really do much of the back and shoulders which is exactly where I needed all the focus on. The lady at the front said that if we want just the back and the shoulder it would be $40 for an hour and $20 for a half. I thought that was ridiculous. I have never heard of that before but we were there already and we absolutely needed a massage so we got the half hour. Though I still decided to get the $20 half hour back and shoulder massage. It was very much needed Before I start on the massage I would just like to say that I did come out of there quite relaxed and and with less tension on my shoulders. I just have a few complaints. 1. The guy who gave me the massage was so inconsistent. I had to tell him three times that he needs to go a little softer. 2. My massage chair kept squeaking. 3. The room was cold. Now I know it's cheaper than usual but I have had several massages for $20 and I honestly believe that experience was not worth it. I'm definitely gonna keep looking for a better one. read more

It wasnt horrible. It was odd, all the reviews here did prepare me for what to expect. I have massage training and I neglected to realize that there is absolutely NO actual massaging done here save your feet. The massage your feet, yes, but nothing else. And if you really want a massage or are actually hurting this place will only frustrate you. She missed most of the reflexology, she seemed very rushed and frantic almost. Of course my luck the gal I got had to leave me every 4 min to answer the door and/or phone. I actually left more tense than when I got there and my neck and back hurt just as bad. If you have had a long day, are really stressed, and just need a little TLC or a place to relax then this place is a good deal for $25 - duh to me as you do get what you pay for. If you are in pain or need an actual massage do NOT waste your time and go to Lake Steam Bath for $35 an hour they are amazing (I can only speak for women therapists I know nothing about the men) and the BEST deal in Denver for good massages. The bldg is old as hell but $15 entrance and unlimited access to a hotter then heck jacuzzi, sauna, and eucalyptus steam room plus massages @ $35 an hour makes me look past the state of the building. I am going to write a review for them now as I now feel bad for never doing so. read more

Did Thailand invent the marshmallow? Probably not, but that's how I feel after my Thai massage with Betty today. Let me give you just a few highlights. Wait for the surprise.. there is a huge surprising ending. Giant Ieather chair, feet in hot bath, fleece blanket. Without taking my clothes off she worked my whole body. At one point she literally climbed on my back but it wasn't weird at all. I feel 100 percent. The clincher is... $25 I have spent hundreds on less effective massages. This is the place to go! Bamboo Forest is my new place forever and ever. Love you Betty read more
