After dropping my puppy across the street for a groom thought I'd drop in for a 30 min foot massage. I only had 30 min because I had another appointment but was in desperate need of a massage as I am 8 months pregnant. The woman I had basically lightly stroked my legs and feet for 30 min then charged me the price for a full hour AND said mandatory $20 tip minimum. Her massage was definitely not worth a tip that was just $10 less than the cost of the whole massage and since when are tips mandatory?? When I inquired further she looked at her coworker and giggled and said she could do $10 then I saw her enter another amount on the keypad. Shady AF. There is a sign saying this is a legitimate business "no hanky panky" but I did take note every customer who walked in during the 30 min I was there was an older gentleman, most of whom seemed to have an established rapport w a masseuse. Just saying...maybe this is where the mandatory $20 tip stems from. Save your time and money if you want a decent massage and go elsewhere! read more

0 stars if I could. This establishment isn't professional and very rude. They told me I needed to make an appointment but when I called they said I could walk in. I explained I was already there and was told I needed an appointment, the male that answered said no I can come now. Unorganized and seems they make the rules as they go?! read more

I went with my mom this morning & the massage was nothing short of amazing. We paid $15 for 50 mins + $10 mandatory tip which was fine (pretty good deal) I got a male masseuse and my mom got a female masseuse and both were very skilled. When we got there it was empty so they took us immediately (1:30 pm on a Saturday) but gradually more people started coming in so to be safe it's best to make an appointment beforehand! This is an asian American owned business so they speak Mandarin & are decent English speakers, so pls be patient when communicating!! :) Def a 5/5 experience, my mom and I are planning on coming back real soon! read more

Um if this is the place i went to it was fine Bus stop right in front. I did the foot masage head phones in Very good cant beat the price I think they work on the feet to relax you so you will do the body. I been there a few times and did the full bod pretty consistent with being good. I like if pretty hard. deep tissue to work out the hurt muscles. They are little mostly older women but they sure do a great job And its an hour for 35 i norm give 60 of its a true hour read more

By far the best massage my feet have ever known.Jackee is the very best at what he does. I am very picky about where I go and this guy is really worth the visit. I have been coming here for a while and will continue to do so because of Jackee. Very patient, kind and pleasant . I highly recommend for a great foot massage! read more

This is my first time for this place, The price from the sign is $35 per hour. For the service The massage therapist used one hand massage me and another hand for play her phone. After I got massage they asked for $20 tips per one hour. I hope they can improve it. read more

They advertise $35 for 1 hr massage and 30 min footwork. I had a massage only - it was ok. At one point the guy stopped massaging me and left the room only to come back and drop hot stones in my back without any warning! I tried playing nice and made couple jokes but they were lost in translation since he spoke very little English if any. Then it was time to pay for service. And boy was it fun! Stupid me for not reading the yelp reviews!!!! I refused footwork and still paid $35, gave tip $5. They asked for another $5. First the masseur did ( surprisingly, in ok English), I refused politely. Then the cashier came out, I refused. Then the owner did. I told them there was no sign of mandatory (!!!) $10 tip and they should make one to avoid confusion in future. And I left the place. And I am NOT coming back. DO NOT GO THERE. Not worth it. read more

I came to this place for 60 minute massage, which cost only $36. The staff here is very friendly and professional. The woman who did my back did an exceptional job, especially because I have a lot of knots and muscle tension in my back. The music here is very relaxing, and the even play the soundtrack from Amélie. Overall, the facility is very clean and relaxing. This is one of the better massage places in the area, and they're completely legitimate. I highly recommend this. read more

This is the first time I am reviewing a place but it's because they complained about a 20% tip, which I really don't appreciate. I got a 30 minute massage and it was okay. The place had Chinese soft pop playing. Typically I like the music to be just instrumentals; better ambiance in my opinion.... When it came down to tipping, I gave 20% because I felt that the massage was just average and wasn't anything phenomenal. Not only did she count the money in front of me but then said it wasn't enough for a 30 minute massage. Call me whatever you like but if you are only charging $20 for an okay 30 minute massage, I will base my tip on that. read more

Based on Jenn's advice, I went to get a massage at Green Apple. I went in and wasn't impressed with the place. It's a bit dingy and can you please cut out the Chinese elevator music! Anyway, I got into the room, undressed, and sat on the table as I wasn't sure where I needed to place my head. Once the masseuse came in, she ripped a hole in the paper lining at one end of the table and told me place my head there. The massage was good. Better than American masseuses but not as good as a Korean masseuse. Plus, the oil smelled funky and I'm about to jump in the shower to get the funky smell off me. But, for $35, it was quite a deal but I just prefer to go to a nicer massage parlor. Call me a snob but I don't care. If you don't care about the ambiance, you should definitely check this place out. read more

Best massage I ever had. Price is fair and people there are super nice and rooms are clean as well. Will definitely come back again

I'm almost getting angry just thinking about be service. My mother and I were loyal customers. I paid for 1.5 hour massage (1 hour body, 30 min feet). But after the body massage, they said it was another 1-2 hour wait for a foot massage because all the employees took new customers. I was furious and told them I already paid you for the service after the body massage and before the foot massage, for the price of both. They said they couldn't don't it unless it was another 1-2 wait which is so absurd. They also yelled at my mom when she gave them a 20% tip, which is a great tip! It's so stressful here read more

They play games by switching technicians. They want money and if they're not happy with your tip they let you know! Relaxing massage but then they stress you out wanting more money. They don't speak English. Can not communicate with them. Other places will be more appreciative of tips than here. They want a salary not a tip. Ok so fast forward until a few days ago.... I did enjoy the massage that's why I went back. They now dictate you must give $10 tip on a $35 massage. I went to give the technician $7 (20%) and they said no $10 minimum tip. So I gave $45 total. read more

i went yesterday(11th january 2020) at around 7.30 pm for a foot massage for myself and body work for my hubby. the guy in the front said foot massage is not available, but then when we said i need the foot work and my hubby would get a body work he agreed which seemed dodgy..the place smells like some grandma perfume/powder. its somewhat clean but nothing fancy, also all the employees are bit rude and in a rush. they don't understand english! its very hard to make them understand to be gentle! the lady almost broke my husband's back with her elbow while giving massage on back! even though he asked to be gentle and he doesn't want any massage on back only on shoulder! however my foot massage was ok if not good. the guy didn't know how to relax with massage i mean i took foot massage at other places and felt a lot better. they charge $15 plus $10 minimum tips for foot work for 50 min. which is $25 at least. for this cheap rate the service is ok. for body work $35 for 60 min but they actually gave 50 min. this one has no minimum tip rate but at least $10-$15 is decent. if you are looking for cheap rate and not so great service i recommend this place. but don't expect anything fancy. when i came back home i saw blue/purple bruises on my right feet cause the guys was so hard on my feet at the end. i felt relaxed for 10 minutes out if 50 min session. it was more like a rushing n rubbing than a relaxing foot massage! read more

Green Apple Spa - foot massage area - Day Spas Near Me - Flushing, New York

Made a reservation. Place was dark and quiet. Seats were comfortable and the foot massage was relaxing. The massagers do not speak much English. They seem unengaged and watch the clock. The price is very reasonable so I would go back because of the price. read more

SPA AMBIENCE: close to null. Customers and staff alike have conversations and are loud! You can hear everything and no one cares. First time I walked in I waned a manicure. On the window they advertise mani pedi. They looked at me as if I walked in a restaurant! "Huh mani pedi?", so I left pissed thinking it's probably a happy ending kind of "spa". My friend told me that she has had actual massage and it was worth it for $35. So I went back. My back was killing me and Massage Envy was packed for the day. CLEANLINESS:it was clean. They kept changing sheets and towels as the patrons came in. Women and men were customers, so I felt better. MASSAGE: I doubt they received a certificate for what they call a massage but it did help my back. The lady never asked me what was bothering me, or if too hard or if I was comfortable. Very basic service. COST:$35=1hour TIP:30% required I gave $10 for 1hour and a half massage. That would be a 20%fee and the woman actually brought over a big poster showing suggested tip are 1hr =$10 1 1/2=$15 But... That would bring the tip to 30%! I refused and said tip is my choice and not even required and I left. I don't see any reason to go back. Oh wait they gave me a mini tiny little cup of water as I paid. LOL that was nice I guess...ha! read more

Came back yesterday for my 3rd massage at Green Apple. It was amazing. I've been having pains in my back and Mabel must have kneaded out every single knot. Do not be fooled by these little ladies; she was incredibly strong! read more

Tried it the first time and I must say the back massage is very good. I haven't had a great massage in a long time and it was amazing. It's 1 hour back massage for $35 and I usually tip $10-15. I've been going to a few other places around but I will continue to come back here simply because the quality of the massages. read more

I've been going to this spa on and off for the past year usually to get the kinks out of my back. It has always been a no frills, go in, get your massage and leave. Today, after the lady failed to get my knots out, when I went up to the register to pay, she demanded a 45% tip and stated that the massage itself is cheap enough, I can afford the tip. What the heck?! Last time I checked, tip is completely optional and I can give you as much as I see fit. Ugh avoid this place. All their employees are lounging on the chairs, feet up, fast asleep which proves that no one wants to deal with their backward nonsense. read more

Not good. Plenty of other places that are far better. They thought I was there to make sure it was a legitimate business, but I only went in with my husband so that they wouldn't think he was a weird person. Apparently they judge you either way. 20 minutes of good massage followed by carelessness and all around laziness. He still tipped, but I would have left in the middle. He's in more pain than when he went it, so now we're going to our usual place together. Don't waste your money. read more

a legit place - $35 for 1 hour Lim was amazing. Got the knots out - and a hot stone massage to boot. If you're looking for a feng shui place - or posh & pretty - Green Apple is not for you - but with Massages for $35 an hour - i can treat myself more often! read more

The guy who did my massage acted like he gave up working that day. Maybe bc it was near closing? He seriously was just rubbing my feet the entire time What a waste of money. read more

I just got a massage because I had bad lower back pain and shoulder/neck pain, and am impressed how much better I feel. They used a lot of heat (towels and Chinese massage balls) and medium to strong pressure. I have had a number of massages by MTs, but thought this one was equally good and better than many I have had. The atmosphere is not great, but for most of the time, you are face down on the table, so the atmosphere doesn't matter much. She also worked a lot of pressure points and paid extra attention to the places where I had pain. The only thing was that I was told after leaving a $5 tip that $10 tip for an hour long massage is minimum. I am happy to give $10 because the massage was so cheap, but I didn't know and it seemed a little awkward. Overall, very good experience and I am grateful. read more

We had great foot massages. Just walked in and were seated immediately. They did a fifty minute massage for 15 dollars and there was a ten dollar mandatory tip which was well deserved. The guy was really good and so was the girl who did my feet. read more

My friend and I went for the first time. She had a good massage, so I will give the place that- one lady there is good. My massage however was very painful! i kept asking her to be more gentle, but she didn't listen. it hurt. Then, as we were leaving my friend and I both decided to give a 20% tip, eventhough the massage was not that great. We thought that was very generous and the lady yelled at us! We told her we were giving 20% and she continued to reprimand us and tell us it was too little and she didn't want it. She wanted more and she was visibly furious. It made us very uncomfortable. She even picked up the phone and called her daughter who spoke English and asked her daughter to yell at us. We explained that tips are optional and that we thought 20% was very generous. She was pissed. And now I am pissed and NOT going back. read more

I am no stranger to massages and would have been satisfied with the massage I received here and given a better review as the massage was adequate, but I have never in 15 years of getting massages experienced such rudeness. Although the massage is well priced at $35, apparently a tip of at least $10 (almost 30% is expected). I paid in cash as I was advised it would be $3 more plus tax if paying by credit card even though there is no advertisement of this fact. Neither is the fact that they expect a tip well over the usual and customary for the fee. I was giving an $8 tip(23%) and was quickly ambushed by the masseuse at the front desk asking "Didn't I give a good massage?" You should be giving at least $10 for a tip. When I responded that the tip was over the usual and customary 20%, they advised that it should not be based on a percentage. Nowhere do they post any warning of the tip expectation. Why would a business put themself in the position of insulting a customer by telling them that their tip is not enough? If the expectation is that your tip be a certain amount, it should be posted somewhere or explained when the pricing is explained. As I said, this is the first I have experienced this extortion tactic, and it will be the last even if the massage had been exceptional insteaed of adequate. read more

I went to this SPA just yesterday and I was the first customer to enter the store. I went there numerous times before and use their services because prices it advertises are great. It's true that the workers are loud and everything can be heard from next guest room as explained by the other users. However, I was shocked that after using the same masseuse for 3 times in a row, she demanded that I pay at least 30% because I always pay 30 percent. she asked me to pay her 30% because that she expected by her, not mentioned anywhere at the store. I paid 26% tips because I didn't have enough cash that day and I didn't want to charge because they charge additional $5 when card is used, which they don't tell you.They also set the timer about 7/8 minutes less than what you want. I always felt cheated my first few times and I ordered 90 minutes and my iPhone alarm went off after about 10 minutes she left the room. When I went to pay, I mentioned to my masseuse about the time after she literally demanded that I at-least pay her 30% and she made a face at me when I told her. I can't believe how unprofessional and dishonest they are. For foot massage it says 15 in large bold prints on the door and in small handwritten print behind the counter it demands $10...I will be seeking for a different location this point forward. Also they have a hand written note inside the room saying they are not responsible if your belongings are missing. Speak of dishonesty in written form is actually practiced at this place. read more

We, my husband and I, just returned from our massage. It was wonderful. We have had many massages in the past, including in Europe, on cruise ships and of course here in the USA and we can truly say that the massages we got today were as good as the best massages we had before. The only difference was the price...When we tipped, we did not use the 20% rule of tum. Instead we gave what we usually give for a very good massage: $15.00 per massage and $5.00 for the footwork...If the massages were not that good, we would have given much less. read more

They were pretty good when they first opened. However,they've become greedy over the past year or so. I didn't have enough cash once and aked if they accepted credit cards, they said yes;at the end of the massage they said $5.00 more because it's a credit card. Recently they asked for more than 20% of the total for a tip. I thought that a tip was optional based on the service received. They are too sneaky with their pricing. DEFINITELY WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE AGAIN! CLOSE THEM DOWN FOR TRYING TO RIP PEOPLE OFF! read more

I have been coming to this place for over a year now on and off and getting either an hour body massage or foot massage. The massages have always been decent. Not earth shattering, but for the price you pay who could complain. I went this morning and sat for an hour foot massage. First off, I had to ask all the ladies in the place to please stop talking soo loudly. I came in for a massage, and it is supposed to be relaxing. Hearing four Korean (I think) women talking in Korean in a loud voice right next to you is not relaxing. Then after the massage was over and I paid cash, no receipt given of course, I gave the girl a 20% tip and she said to me: you no happy. Why you leave me bad tip. I was appalled. I can't believe the nerve of this girl. He said that I was supposed to tip between $10 and $20 dollars. Thats 40-60%. They will lose a lot of customers. I wonder if their boss knows they do this. read more

I went to get a massage here with a friend because I've been having shoulder pain due to tense muscles. The place is a little nail salon with private rooms for full body massages. The staff are relatively nice, however their English is limited. Their massage technique was not very comfortable, as they kept rubbing my muscles over my shoulder blade. The pressure was too aggressive in that they did not gradually progress from light to deep pressure. They kept pushing my shoulder blade out towards my side, which physiologically promotes poor posture. It was not relaxing at all and the massage oil was not pleasant either. The staff clearly does not appear to have good knowledge of human anatomy (regarding muscles of the back) for effective massage technique. Both my friend and I left being in more pain than when we got there. I expected to be slightly sore, but it was unacceptable that I couldn't lift my arm without shoulder pain and a clicking sensation each time I moved my arm up. The soreness/pain lasted 3 days. read more
