This place is amazing if you're in need of a relaxing foot massage!…read more After running around all day in heels, I was relieved to be heading back to my hotel to shower and relax. But then it dawned on me that I remembered seeing a foot massage spot just a few doors down and decided that might be the perfect way to end my day! I walked in around 8pm without and appointment and luckily they were able to take me immediately. The seating for a foot massage is in an open area with soft, plush leather seats that are so easy to sink into. Once seated, they'll wash your feet and then begin the massage. I booked a foot reflexology massage for 60 mins. It was $45 and was absolutely amazing! Considering how expensive things are these days, I thought that was overall a great deal! The folks that work here are so nice and I was so insanely relaxed and at ease here. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Recommending Renewing Spa to everyone !!…read more I had things to do in Midtown NYC so that I thought it would be nice to have great massage, picked this place through Yelp with many outstanding 5 star reviews and so glad I came. It's too bad I live in Boston. I appreciate Renewing Spa and all reviewers. I walked into this place without appointment, buzzed me in up to 2nd floor. Immediately 2 staffs welcomed me very warmly, great sign of natural accommodation. I felt very comfortable right away. I have been to uncountable massage parlors for over the 30 years but this was the most homey trust feeling I got. They are very down to the Earth, helped me for charging 2 phones before the massage. They sent me Mia. Actually we never spoke any words. Her hands and elbows goes straight to the acupressure points, literally head to toes with exact right amount of pressure. She is very hard working. I didn't have to request anything. I realized her way is real treatment. It's my favorite style, next day I had slight soreness in the morning and later on the day I felt amazing whole body. She gave me most effective techniques and got rid of all of my problems. Unbelievable talent. After massage, staffs told me there is grand master teacher taught all workers in their all (4?) branches. This is treasure old school Chinese system, it reminds me martial art tradition. We are lucky to have this in USA, we need to support this forever. Did I mention great rate and points card for free treatment ? 謝謝 !!

I've been to other massage places around Chinatown, so I was expecting the "curtain separates the…read morebeds" and the "towel on top of clothes massage". For the record - those are amazing too. This isn't a Park Ave spa - it's a $40 Chinatown massage. Because with my past experience with Chinatown massages, I was surprised they wanted me to take off everything but my panties. The guy who massaged me was very professional. Used baby oil on my whole body, and some icy hot on my stubborn neck and shoulder area. His English was really good too. I have to say that I really enjoyed knowing when my massage was coming to an end. He went and got a hot towels (which felt great with the 34* temperature outside) to help take off the baby oil. When the massage started they had piano music playing in the background. And the song you can never forget, titanic was playing when the massage started. And replayed while he was getting to the end if my massage. So the entire song list played, and more. It was great! The fact that I was in a private (compared to what I'm used to in Chinatown, it was very private!) I was already impressed. Yes I would go back. $40 for 60 minutes?? Not shabby at all!

I came here for a full body massage…read more The technique was alright, it felt good while it was occurring, but I don't think it loosened me up. I've had massages that made me feel like jello afterwards but this was not one of them. The rooms are separated by curtains. They do not try to keep a spa like ambiance here because the front desk person was talking so loud. I was also a bit peeved by the fact that she kept coming in to ask the masseuse how many more minutes every few minutes or so because of a potential client. They use baby oil here and when I got home, I had the biggest allergic reaction and was super itchy for the next day or so. Probably would not return.

Didn't really like the vibe here. Maybe i shouldn't have stopped by a place called Feet Island to…read moreget a massage, so that may be the problem entirely. I can only comment on the massage. Got a 30 minute massage. Other comments about hospital bed setting, all agree. I mean, this place is very cheap, wasn't expecting much. What i didn't expect was how there was this hierarchy, I paid to X, who then assigned Y, I get massage, come back and pay X. I don't know how to explain, I know that's how one does it normally at a spa, but in a place this small, it gave me a vibe of 1) these ppl really did not want to be work there, and 2) there wasn't a lot for them to say about working there. I'm not quite sure how to put it in words, but definitely not some place I'm going again. I'll pay a few more bucks for nearby massage places.

The first time can be a bit intimidating, however the staff is completely professional and friendly.

This place is exactly what you want if your feet are destroyed from walking around New York City…read moreall day. It is very no frills, and I want to stress that upfront. This is not a spa where you hang out, relax, and enjoy the ambiance. You are not here for vibes. You are here because your feet hurt. And for that, it is perfect. You can walk in without an appointment, which is what we did every time, but you can also make an appointment if you want. We ended up coming here every single evening during our trip because after walking all day, nothing sounded better than a 30, 45, or 60 minute foot massage. It became our nightly routine. The staff was great. Everyone was friendly, professional, and consistent. The place was clean every time we went, and they offered water, which was appreciated. They were efficient, kind, and clearly experienced, especially considering how busy this place gets. I found this spot on TikTok, and yes, it is popular for a reason. Just know what you are getting. This is not a leisurely spa experience where you linger and unwind in a plush robe. This is a straightforward, affordable, effective foot massage that does exactly what it promises. If you are visiting NYC, doing a ton of walking, and want a reliable place to reset your feet at the end of the day, I would absolutely recommend it. We loved it and would go back without hesitation.

Tui Na focuses on bones, blood flow and joints which is more of a chinese medical massage. It is not relaxing or comfortable. It has been a challenge finding a place to go to after Health Trail closed down. I've been to many others ever since and today I found Yuan Shi and they are what I've been searching for. I now have bad knees and back pains. I came in on a Sunday and got an hour of the Chinese full body Tui Na. Michael was my masseuse and little dude is strong. He was able to pinpoint all my pain areas and proceeded to roll, press, stretch and kneed it to death. The more squirming I did and wincing from pain, the harder he went. I wanted to stop showing my pain just so he would stop sometimes. But as the guy at Health Trail said, "No pain, No gain". The timer went off after and hour and he continued working my back for another 5 minutes. I really appreciated it, as he knew I was in need of this session. 1 hour was $50, and I tipped $20. He really earned every dollar. Im sore from the bruising but my back pains are relieved right now. I'm considering buying the certificate. 10 sessions for $500 upfront and comes with 3 free massages. This seems really worth it in my opinion. I'm definitely coming back again.
