This hidden gem has been my go to spot for years. Even through the pandemic period, they were super cautious with cleanliness and wearing masks at all times. They clean your area and even spray sanitizer. You really can't beat the price either! I do the 60 minutes combo massage and if you pay cash, you knock off a couple bucks which makes it about $35. I think I've said this before but I truly believe reflexology places like this beat any Burke Williams or ShangriLa hotel places where I've spent HUNDREDS of dollars and didn't feel like I got my money's worth. It's just practical. I don't need to sniff aromas or have my own private room. I come to this place to relax and get rid of whatever pain I may be having with my shoulders, neck or back. The wonderful thing about their "routine" massage is I know what to expect every time. I particularly love the first 10-15 minutes where they're examining your back for knots and then a swift push down my back to crack my spine. PEOPLE, it's a massage AND chiropractor visit all in one. You know how much Chiro visits are? On top of that you get your feet soaked in water and rubbed with lotion. I almost didn't want to post this because I don't want this going out to the public. Next thing you know, I'll have to book appointments a week in advance. Oh, another perk.....walk-ins welcomed. Oh and another one, its located in the Diamond Jamboree plaza so you know I'll be eating somewhere there afterwards AND grabbing something from 85 Degrees Bakery. =) Happy girl. MY KIND OF SPA DAY. read more

My go to. Best quality and best price. These people know what they're doing and will take care of you.

They are my newest favorite spa - clean, affordable, friendly staff and great work. I think I melted into the bed & left refreshed and renewed. I will be a returning customer & will recommend to my family. They booked me right away via text. Inside is a little awkward because there are no real private rooms but dimly lit individual areas curtained off so if you require more privacy, this isn't the place for you. The spa is located upstairs in a very, very busy dining & shopping center so give yourself time to find a spot & find your way upstairs. There is an elevator available too. read more

Great massage, very professional and clean facility. Good value for the price, and going by how well booked they are, others agree.

Five Star Massage truly lives up to its name! The staff was professional, the atmosphere relaxing, and the massage left me feeling refreshed and tension-free. Best place for deep tissue massages around. Highly recommend! read more

Always very friendly and accommodating. Been coming several years and have always had a great experience.

The atmosphere was good: dim lights and relaxing music. Everything was done in one open space, but there were curtains for sense of privacy. The only downside was that my boyfriend's massage therapist wasn't accommodating. We both requested for the massage to be lighter/less intensive because it was our first time/our muscles were sore from the gym. The lady for my session was super nice and sweet, and always checked in to make sure everything was going well. However, when my boyfriend mentioned it to his massage therapist, he said "No, you're a guy, you don't need it to be lighter." Just found that to be rude and discriminative. Update: my boyfriend woke up feeling very sore and much worse about his back and his spine felt bruised. It was his first time getting a massage so he wasn't sure how hard it was supposed to be and just went with the masseuse, but clearly he went too hard. read more

As a college athlete and soon to be professional I walked into Five Star Spa with no expectation... walked out with probably the best massage I have ever gotten! "Dairy" or "Derry" has hands like no other... I asked him to do his thing and I left feeling like I got reborn. A MUST GO! They actually know what foot reflexology is ! read more

Allen is the best. I have been going to him for at least 1.5 years, and by far, the best massage quality is consistently excellent. If you have tight muscles and need deep pressure point releases regularly, Allen is the right person. I have not had experience with the other masseuses, but I am sure they are just as good, based on my girlfriend's experience with another masseuse. I wish I could go here more often, but I am a college student about 5 hours away, so I make sure to go whenever I come back home for holidays, when I visit family, etc. By the way, I have tried other deep tissue massage places around my college; they do not even come close to how professional, expert, and reliable five-star spa staff have been. read more

Great value for a 60 min or 90min massage! I've been here twice and you can tell they put good effort to making it a good experience for their customers . read more

Always a good experience. Same day availability, friendly, and professional. Massage feels intentional and not rushed through the motions.

This will be my new go-to spa place! Today we opted for the 90 minute combo massage. Oh wow, it was amazing!!! The masseuse worker was very firm, but it felt amazing on my muscles. He was great about checking in on the pressure and how it was going a few times in the beginning. By the time he got to my feet, I was snoring a bit! That's how relaxed I was. The place was very clean and nice. It was very easy to call and book an appointment about a week before. They do accept credit cards and you can leave the tip on there which is nice. Will be coming back here for sure!!! read more

I absolutely love coming here, especially when I have neck or back pain. I like that they have 30 minute massages focusing on certain areas. It's also slightly cheaper to pay in cash and they've been very flexible with rescheduling. read more

AMAZING! Always amazing, it doesn't matter who you get they have all been really good. This is one of the few places where "deep tissue" is actually deep! Very friendly as well. Highly recommend coming here. read more

Good foot reflexology massage. The place was clean and staff attentive. I will be back!

Again, it's been a while since I've been at five-star spa partly because of the pandemic. But we went ahead and made appointments for the usual foot massages, as well as sweetest massage. If you're looking for a spa environment such as a hotel etc. this is not the place for you. This is a quiet and calm space that offers what I would consider more traditional Chinese massage although they do offer Swedish and relaxation. You enter a larger room that is divided for foot massage and private massage. I opted for the foot massage, which starts out on your stomach that includes back, leg, and neck massages. Then you will turn over and put your feet in some relaxing, warm water While they massage the rest of you. Then they will give you a very soothing foot massage with lotion. Also keep in mind that you are dressed for this foot massage combo and they do not use lotion on your body only your feet. If you're looking for a full body massage that you get undressed, then I suggest the Swedish or another full-service massage. Prices are very reasonable and I don't think they've gone up much in the past few years. I love supporting this place and have been coming here for years. You could always finish off with a nice lunch or dinner in the mall area. Service is always so nice. The front reception gentleman is also super friendly and helpful. I like that you can leave tip on a credit card. There are no showers by the restroom. Plenty of parking. I always find it exceptionally clean here. The massage styles can vary. I've had different ones for the foot and body massage. I always let them know to come up a little on the pressure because sometimes it's too much for me. It's OK to speak up. read more

First time coming in here for a deep tissue massage and it was amazing. It was definitely painful since my muscles were extremely tight but after my 90 minute session I felt so light and invigorated. 10/10, would recommend it for any bodybuilders or if you play any sports! read more

I've never done a private massage there but the other ones are good! I'm not a huge fan of massages because they always hurt but I tend to do the split of feet and then head, neck, shoulders, etc. and it's perfect. I love that they have those options. Many places I've tried don't give you the option to break up your time on different areas of the body. The only down part is that it's an open space so sometimes there's some noise, but they do their absolute best to keep it very quiet and soothing. read more

Cleanest for the price in the area. All massage therapists are skilled. No matter who I get, I leave satisfied every time (:

I had high hopes for this place. Technique was not great. Had 2 different masseuses in the evening. It was too much pressure or no pressure at all. They also used elbow instead of hand to massage. They tried to fix this but they said there weren't a lot of choices that night read more

The name of the place is fitting! A very high quality massage for a very reasonable price. The place is clean and calming. Get there early to find a parking spot, the mini mall can get very crowded. read more

My favorite place to go when I can't go on vacation! Best massage therapists and the prices are affordable. They are professional and this place is super clean. I've been coming here for over 9 years and not going anywhere else read more

Great spa for a great price! Went in for a 90 minute Swedish massage, so I was able to have my own room! The lady who gave me my massage was super nice and always asked if the pressure was okay. Definitely would come back! Also, bring cash to pay and for tip. You get a few bucks shaved off the price if you pay that way! read more

This place is amazing. It is the best massage you'll ever get. If you're looking for a place with amenities and all the fluff. This is not the place for you. The main focus here is massages, and they are really good at it. I get the tissue massages, and make sure I bring my bottled water and drink plenty of water before an after and sleep. So good the night of, and feel like you the next morning. read more

This place is located in a busy area in the second floor of a strip mall. Parking was a challenge. As busy as it is outside, it's the same as inside. You go there to relax ... But, it's noisy, people are talking (even the massage therapist), a lot of foot traffic that you can hear. One good thing the area for the massage is dark enough. I requested for a room, thinking it would be better. But, all they did was pull the curtain, which really didn't solve the problem. read more

My favorite massage place ever. I love going here. Book early in the day as they book up

Was a few minutes late because I was unfamiliar with the area and parking was crazy, the guy seemed really annoyed with me. I did combo 1. Half way through when it was time for the feet part, they changed out and a lady took over. Her hands were so good. Excellent pressure on the head and feet massage. Overall nice quiet room and relaxing atmosphere. Will be back, hopefully a little better prepared for the parking situation!! read more

It should say Ten Star Spa, by far the best massage I ever had. I've been to many places, they weren't bad, but this place has the best masseur DAVID, and I'm assuming the only hired such excellent people. . I asked for hard pressure and in one session he fixed all my problems from head to toes. He knows where the problem is without telling him a word, so if you wanna get fixed this is the place in SoCal, highly recommended. Might not be the luxurious spa in the area, but I felt like this is a gem spot. Not only they are great but also check their prices, they are also the best. read more

I hope it does not sound like I am exaggerating when I say I felt reborn again after my 60 minute full body deep tissue massage with Steven. I had been experiencing whole body soreness from frequent exercise and low back pain due to a tight hip flexor. No amount of stretching, foam rolling, massage gun, or Epsom salt baths were a match for Steven's mighty elbow and forearm. I opted for firm pressure and Steven worked on my knots and I left feeling rejuvenated and walking taller. I was also able to walk upstairs with ease when I clearly remember it taking more effort before my massage. The spa is located at Diamond Jamboree on the second floor right about Ajisen Ramen. I like that it was so easy to make an appointment and they close at 10PM. The facility was very clean and all employees wore facemasks. My husband and I were walked into a large room with multiple massage tables. Our two massage tables were partitioned by curtains to provide some privacy. Wave sounds were played in the large room and it was quiet (therapists weren't chatting), so I can relax. We were given the open to remove our clothes or leave it on. We were glad we opted to remove our clothes because the massage therapist was able to apply oil and really get into the muscles. The body is wiped down with a hot towel and dried afterwards. The cost is lower if you pay in cash, but that was not advertised on their price list in the lobby! There is a recommended tip amount depending on the service provided. read more

Excellent service and very efficient staff. Reflexology massage was excellent. Highly recommended.

Amazing deep tissue one hour massage. I got the $53 one in a room with a closed curtain. It was reasonably priced and my masseuse, Allen, was very strong, courteous, and skilled in his work. All of my knots are gone. Highly recommended. read more

It started as an average experience, then it was a bad experience. The process of booking the appointment was easy and quick, I booked a last minute appointment. Called at 3:26 pm and got an appointment with Alan for same day, at 4:30 pm. I didn't know Alan but read about him on Yelp. He seems to be in high demand. People are saying Alan is very good. I was happy to get an appointment with Alan on first try. I arrived at 4:25 pm. Alan was still working on his last appointment. I was okay with it because I had extra time to relax and prepare myself for the foot massage. I booked the 60 minute foot massage. Although we started 15 minutes behind, I did received a full 60 minutes session. The session ended on time. Alan was good, not great. I was in an open room, no curtains & no doors. I can hear everyone talking and walking by. Everyone also can see me. It was awkward and I felt my personal space was violated. I guess I was in an open room because the session is only $40. I didn't get a private space (not room, a space) with curtain. Those would cost more. I got quite relaxed toward the end of the session. But then a lady customer bursted out loud saying she can't relax because her massage therapist kept on asking her how pressure was. Thanks to the lady customer, I got jerked back to the reality and felt very annoyed by her. My session ended within five minutes after that. My experience thus far was average up to this point. When checking out the front desk lady asked me if I was paying cash for tips. I had some cash so I said yes. Although my experience wasn't the best I thought Alan provided good service so I tipped 20%, $8. However the front desk lady asked me to tip MORE. Minimum is $10 for a 60 minute massage, she said. Umm, did you forget my session started late, and that I was woken up by a rude customer? Despite all that, a $8 tip for a $40 massage isn't good enough?!?. Five Star Spa is not a 5-star spa. I am reluctant to even rate them as a 4-star spa after my check out experience. Hence 3-star. read more

I used to come here years ago and recently returned. I called in to see if they could do a couples massage for my husband and I and surprisingly, they had a separate area for us with enclosed curtains! Usually, I would just go and stay in the main room with others so that was a nice option to have. My masseuse really dug down and got some hard knots that I had for awhile. I like the firm pressure so didn't mind that she did a very deep tissue pressure. I didn't object and she asked if it was fine, so it was to the point that it was a bit painful but it did the trick! I had been in so much pain for weeks and one hour here, literally cleared it. Plus, the soft therapeutic strokes to finish was needed and left me feeling relaxed and pain free! Sometimes you leave massage places and a few hours later, you still feel like you need one, since it seems unfinished. I left Five Star feeling like my health was better and I could get through the rest of the week. Bonus, they are opened late so it's a great date night or pre sleep ritual. For the affordable price, you can come more often than not instead of a massage just being a luxury. read more

I went to this massage parlor and had a poor experience. Here is why I won't visit here again: - When booking my appointment they didn't ask me if I preferred a male or female therapist and automatically assigned me a male therapist. Upon arrival and after waiting in the room I noticed a male therapist entering so I politely told him I preferred a female. In broken English he responded by saying that I had been assigned a male at booking and no female therapists were available at the moment. While walking around I noticed there were a lot of male therapists working here. - The room layout was not relaxing in my opinion. It looked and felt like a military bunker. The rooms were divided not by well decorated and thick walls for noise cancellation but instead with sheets hanging from the ceiling like a tent. There were security cameras on the ceiling during my massage. This place seems to have been poorly converted into a massage parlor from something else. The waiting area on the other hand is decorated nicely which is why I went through with my appointment only to be disappointed when being sent to a strange massage tent moments later. - My male massage therapist didn't speak much English and it was very hard to communicate with him. - Due to lack of thick walls between rooms I could hear everything from the next rooms. I could hear other customers and employees speaking to one another. It was impossible for me to relax with so much noise. It is my opinion that there are too many other amazing, well decorated and managed massage parlors nearby with a mostly female staff of therapists for me to return to this parlor. Before leaving I shared these complaints to the front desk employee who after laughing at me said they had been open for many years and I was the first to complain about these issues. This review and my comments are based on my personal experience and thoughts and should be treated as just an opinion and not facts. Make your decision on going to this parlor based on your own research and thoughts. read more

I dragged my friend here with me about a week ago for an impromptu 1 hour full body massage. I had Steven and he did a deep tissue massage while my friend got a Swedish massage from a female masseuse. While I felt rejuvenated and much better after my massage, unfortunately he was feeling worse than before he got in. The pain ended up lasting for a whole week, with him reporting extreme soreness and discomfort. We had another appointment, this time for a 90 minute full body massage in about a week and I requested for Steven again. We alerted the front desk that my friend wanted someone different and preferred a male masseur. Second time around, both of us had a wonderful experience! Steven was just as amazing as last time, and my friend enjoyed his experience. Unfortunately we didn't get the name of my friend's masseur, but we will be back again! read more

What an amazing massage we had. Why partner and I each got the deep tissue combo where clothes may stayed on while laying on table. I had never had one like this before and was concerned it wouldn't be as good as a full unclothed body massage. We were both so pleased. The pressure was perfect and the quality of it was amazing. We will definitely return soon. read more

Such a great place! My friend and I came as walk-ins and the person at the front desk was very kind and accommodating. They were pretty booked out for the day but were able to squeeze us in with a 30min session. My masseuse was very nice and friendly! Unfortunately, I forgot to ask for his name. He asked for my preferred pressure and we both had some good chuckles at how many knots I had in my shoulders. My shoulders were definitely sore after the session but they feel much better than when I arrived. You also can't beat this price. It's such a steal for a thorough massage! read more

Still my fav massage place in OC! I've been to a bunch around the area and this place has been the most consistent with good masseuse! If you can bring cash, I highly suggest. I believe it's a couple dollars cheaper. I also highly recommend calling ahead and making an appointment. If you can't decide on the type of massage you want, get the 60 min combo massage. It has a little of everything. If you haven't been, just be mindful that it's a clothes on type of massage. I like to wear shorts and a tank top (preferable loose tank) read more

Tried it out for the first time to get a deep tissue massage, so far good service and good prices.

Not sure how qualified I am to be writing this review, but it was my first time getting a massage in my life and I was pleasantly surprised. My masseuse Cindy did a wonderful job with my whole body massage and made sure the pressure was alright. The price was so decent $53 for an hour and I really felt the tension in my shoulders melt. It's a no fuss no frills kinda place. Very simple and great for the price. read more
