CLEANEST CHINESE SPA IN TOWN They have 2 locations and this one on Garfield is VERY nice! Right when you walk in you can feel its more spacious, clean, upscale feel but with the Chinese massages and prices! My lady was very sweet. I kept changing my mind on which massage I wanted and she didn't rush me. My 90 minute foot reflexology included head scalp and was $60. I don't like it too hard and she kept asking if I was okay with pressure. Very good job!!! read more

Came here after seeing a TikTok video recommending this place and booked a 60-minute deep tissue massage. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing from start to finish. They accidentally double booked my appointment, so I had to wait quite a while before being seen. The rooms looked really nice and I was impressed, but it wasn't very relaxing since I could hear toilets flushing and people talking outside throughout the session. My bed was also very squeaky. As for the massage, it was honestly one of the worst I've had. The masseuses relied heavily on using her elbows, and the pressure felt inconsistent - more like random elbowing than an actual deep tissue massage. She also used so much oil to the point where the hot stones and towels didn't remove it all. I had to shower immediately after getting home. The session also felt overly focused on my glutes rather than being a full-body massage (~80% glute 20% other parts of body). At one point, accidental contact was made which made me uncomfortable. I was honestly so surprised and tried to process everything but I wish I had stopped the massage. I then was asked to turn over for a brief face massage that lasted less than a minute, and oil was used there as well, which felt odd. I did also come with someone so we shared a room together. When I had asked if their masseuses did the same thing and if they had the same experience as me, they said yes. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for a relaxing massage. read more

had called ahead for a massage and was promptly serviced. the massage was 1 hour and it was a harddddd massage. the pressure was pressuring but felt good. the masseuse should always ask about the pressure which she did. the place was nice and clean. i parked in the back and entered through the back as well. at the end of the service i was seeing double lol would come again and ask for a softer massage :) read more

Made a last minute appointment since I was in the area and they were able to accommodate. The place was very clean and very new. The staff were friendly and spoke clear English so during my massage I was able to make my needs known for little or more pressure. Would definitely go again, but I would request to be on the side where the wall isn't shared with the coffee spot next door. The walls are very thin and even with music playing I could still hear everything going on at the coffee shop next-door. My recommendation would be maybe some earplugs for the customer. read more

Garfield Spa - Massage table. Very comfortable. - Massage Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Wow! Amazing service. My husband and I went in for a couples 60 min full body massage and it was amazing. When we got there we were told to come back for a scheduled time but fortunately someone called and canceled. The ladies were so professional and it was so relaxing. They gave us tea after our services. Definitely coming back. Thank you! read more

Came here for 30 minutes back & neck massage and I know it is almost the same price a full body massage but I feel four times better since I left and I think that's the move. The place is very clean and very inviting, my masseuse was Eola and she was just really really good! I think I found a regular place for back/neck fix! read more

My husband and I checked out Garfield Spa for the first time on Saturday, 9/13/2025 at 11:00 AM. We called in the morning and easily made a same-day appointment for 1-hour couples deep tissue massage ($60 for 60 minutes - price as of 9/2025) Appointment: It was a good deep tissue massage, but it had been a while since I'd had one that intense, and I found myself in pain during parts of it. I'll admit I was hesitant to speak up, so I just tried to push through the pressure...though looking back, I know I should have said something (I struggle with that!). The masseuse did check in with me at the start, and at that time I felt fine, but the pressure was a little too strong as the session went on. I even ended up with a bruise on my left shoulder afterward. That said, my husband was fine throughout his appointment, and we both agreed they were skilled at targeting specific trouble areas. For me, they focused on my shoulders, while for him, they worked more on his mid-back. They used a variety of techniques throughout the massage, but heavily used their forearm most of the time, which was a slight complaint from my husband. Just keep in mind--when they say deep tissue, they really mean it! Customer Service: Very good, they were quick to pick up the phone and quick to greet when we came in. They can speak both Chinese Mandarin and English, and were friendly. Payment: Credit card and cash are available. Just note that there is a 3% surcharge that's added on. We ended up paying in credit card and providing a 20% cash tip to each masseuse. Parking: Street parking and they also have a parking lot in the back. We had no issues! All in all, we will definitely be back! I just need to tell them to lighten up a little next time. read more

New massage spot in Monterey Park, named Garfield Spa. I gave them a call really last minute since my schedule is never known until pretty late. But they were able to squeeze me in and I got to have quite a nice hour massage. Wish it could be longer, but they didn't have openings since they were busy. But overall this place was nice clean and got my shoulders nice and relaxed! read more

I just found my new favorite place to get a massage in the SGV area. This is the cleanest and most modern Spa in this area with Chinese massages and prices. Interior is new and it has a nice spa feel. I called last minute and was able to get an appointment. I was able to find street parking right out in front. Sasa was great and used good technique for the massage. She was nice and professional. They are able to speak English and Chinese Mandarin. read more

Very clean and professional spa experience! FeI Fei was very kind, at first she didn't know I spoke Cantonese so she tried her best to communicate with me in English and using an app to make sure nothing was misunderstood. Making an appointment was easy as well. Definitely will be coming back again read more

Garfield Spa - Massage Near Me - Monterey Park, California

This place is disgusting. The masseuse doesn't speak English so it's extremely difficult to speak with her. My bed sheets were dirty I have pictures, there was lip stick, blood and dirt. I will never go back. Highly don't recommend this place. Also she massaged me for 10 minutes but it was horrific she had no idea what she was doing. read more

I did an 80 minute session with deep tissue and foot massage. My masseuse was really good and professional. Ambiance is clean and professional and massage is in a private room. She worked hard to get out the knots in my back and neck and I was sore the next day. I'll be back. read more

This place never disappoints. Linda did an amazing job. She has strong hands. Love this place.

Massage was great, excellent / Reasonable prices. Only thing is I was put in the first room closest to the entrance so it was a little noisy at times. Still would go back though. read more

Booked a massage at Garfield Spa as part of a self-care weekend and I'm so glad I did. I went in for a deep tissue massage and thoroughly enjoyed the experience from start to finish. The spa was clean, calm, and quiet--exactly the kind of environment you want when you're trying to fully relax. My massage therapist was excellent. The pressure was strong and effective (maybe even a little intense in a few spots), but she was very responsive and adjusted immediately when I asked for slightly lighter pressure in certain areas. I really appreciated how attentive and skilled she was. Overall, it was a great experience and exactly what I needed. I'm already looking forward to my next visit soon. Highly recommend if you're in need of a much needed massage and me time. read more

Amazing! I made a reservation the week before and it was very simple! All the staff were very kind and it a good massage. They have a couple different options to choose from and I got the combo one! Inside it's clean and very calming. They keep the rooms more dim so it's easy to relax! read more

Fifi gave an amazing massage today. Highly recommend her. Will def be back again. They take CC and encourage tips. They definitely deserve them. read more

This place is beautiful and clean! Apparently it's their location. My husband had the deep tissue massage and I had the head/neck/shoulder massage with Ella which was great! I don't think this is a Thai massage place, so I doubt they step on your back here; especially since we didn't notice any bars on the ceilings. read more

Garfield Spa - Outside - Massage Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I was hoping for a relaxing experience at this new massage place, but unfortunately, it didn't meet expectations. The atmosphere was far from peaceful -- there was loud hammering from construction next door throughout most of my session, which made it hard to unwind. Inside the massage room, it was surprisingly noisy. The staff were talking loudly, running in and out, and one woman, who seemed to be in charge, was giving orders to others as if she were a drill sergeant -- all while clients were trying to relax. My massage therapist had decent technique, and I did appreciate how she used her elbow effectively on my back. However, she was way too rough on my neck, arms, and fingers -- it was more painful than therapeutic. There's a big difference between using strength and just being rough. Also, her breath was noticeably unpleasant, which made it uncomfortable at times. Unfortunately, the combination of noise, discomfort, and lack of professionalism means I won't be returning. read more

Clean and friendly place. My lady did a very good job. Had the full body massage for 50 bucks an hour. And gave 25 dollars tip. My son and his girlfriend had one room and my other son had his own and I had mine. Paid 200 for massage for 4 and tipped 100 for us 4 since everyone loved their massage. read more

This place is new, clean and friendly. This is one of the best massages I've had. Sasa did a good job. Cash or card is acceptable. She is professional. She didn't ask to pay cash or amount of tips like some other places when you pay. I'll definitely come back here read more

Garfield Spa - Menu of Jan 2025 - Massage Near Me - Monterey Park, California

This place slaps i love going here. Super clean and reliable. They know what they're doing and have been going to Garfield for years. Also, there's dumplings next-door. Would be nice if they fed you dumplings while you were on the table through the head hole. Maybe this is just my fantasy. But everything else is amazing. Would recommend. read more

I loved the fresh and clean design, and my masseuse was great. I appreciated the more precise and varied application of pressure throughout the session, and walked out feeling refreshed. read more

I called to do a 90 minutes deep tissue. I asked for someone strong. The receptionist said no problem. The place is clean and it's recommended by a friend. But it turn out to be the worse massage ever! The masseuse doesn't know how to massage. I feel it's more rubbing. Don't talk about deep tissue which I pay more for it. But it's really just rubbing your back with only 1 way, using her forearm back and forward. It is so bad that I actually cut my massage shorter. And the amazing thing she only did my back and nothing else, I got it I cut the massage shorter but not even my hand? I really wonder if these people even has license. I just feel scammed, don't advertise as deep tissue if only rubbing. And owner can you train your people first before opening? I am more tired and now have a headache after massage than when I came there. And it was very noisy with lots of people, very very disappointed read more

i go here once a month and it's absolutely the bests massage spa ever!!! the vibe is amazing and calming. the best deep tissue massage for the best price and service! read more

I got a 90 minute deep tissue massage today. I asked for someone that can walk on my back and my goodness! Best 90 minute investment for my well-being.

Garfield Spa - Lobby - Massage Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I really enjoy massages, the massages here are great in the local area. The masseuses work out the knots meticulously. This is at the new building across the street from Pronto Donuts and there is spacious parking in the back of the building with easy access. The interior of the establishment is a step above with the decor and lightings that make me feel at home. Overall quality massage and nice venue to bring friends and or family. Will be back here soon! read more

VERY VERY clean and the workers are so kind. I got a deep tissue massage 60mins for $60. She worked on my back & helped me loosen up all my tight muscles. I will certainly be coming back! Don't forget to tip your masseuse! (: read more

This is an excellent place, with very friendly and accommodating staff. They took our walk-ins for my mother and I for massages. The techniques are good and took out most of the knots that have bothering me for the past week and very comfortable with the private rooms. I will come back next time when I am around, highly recommend read more

This used to be my favorite spot! I've been going to the old Garfield spa for a little over 4 years so when this new location opened up I was super excited. The old location had superb masseuses and excellent technique. I would love to say the same for the new location but I've had too many negative experiences already. I get a massage once every 3 weeks and for the last 3 months, I've been bruised and hurt despite asking the masseuses to be gentle. The most recent time I went, I asked the worker if she could be gentle and soft, which she responded with yes. She obliterated my back to say the least and left me in pain on the nape of my neck. After the massage finished, i clarified with her that it was a regular body massage and not a deep tissue to which she assured me it was a regular body massage. Despite the rough massage, I still left a 5 dollar tip and politely thanked them for their service. Before I had the chance to leave, they stopped me abruptly and asked me for the rest of the tip and said the tip is usually 20%. I always tip $10 for my $50 massages and have no problem doing so when the quality of the work matches the price. I have remained apart of their loyal clientele until today. I do hope they can improve on their quality, service and attitude. read more

Very nice n clean and reasonable and friendly people live them snacks too and water service

I had a great experience on my first visit but a really uncomfortable one on my second. I may update my review if I decide to go back. The first time, I loved how new and clean the spa felt--it smelled amazing, and my massage was wonderful. However, if you're not familiar with Chinese foot massage establishments, I'd recommend researching them beforehand. They differ quite a bit from places like Massage Envy or traditional spas. Many sessions are fully clothed, and while Garfield Spa does offer private rooms, other places tend to be more mindful of modesty when nudity is involved. At Western-style spas, for example, therapists are usually very careful with blanket placement when adjusting your legs. Personally, I'm not too sensitive about that, so it wasn't a big issue for me--until things got uncomfortable. During my second visit, the therapist frequently lifted the blanket, which made me feel exposed and cold. Had my therapist been a man, I would have left immediately. She spent an excessive amount of time massaging my butt--about 10 minutes straight--which felt inappropriate. On multiple occasions, she ran her hands so far up and down my legs that I instinctively braced myself, worried about being touched in an intimate area. Looking back, I feel frustrated that I didn't speak up, but massages put you in such a vulnerable position that it can be hard to react in the moment. In terms of technique, she relied heavily on her elbows rather than her hands, which is somewhat common for Chinese foot massages, but I've had many and this felt excessive. There was also a lot of repetitive rubbing rather than actual muscle work. Overall, my second visit left me feeling uneasy and disappointed. If I return, I'll be sure to request a different therapist, but I'd caution others to be mindful of their comfort levels before booking. read more

New spa that is clean, well decorated. They were able to give me a same day appt a couple hrs from my call. They take card or zelle. The staff is nice. Flora and Amy helped me. I had the combo body and foot massage. They used my own organic massage oil per my request. The massage pressure was fine- not too light, not too firm. I felt relaxed and peaceful after. Much needed for my high stress life. Will recommend to others. Thank you! read more
