Unless you want to be extorted by a little Chinese man at the door, do not come here. After a rough one hour and a half massage (that was upsold to me by a nicer lady up front), I was demanded to give a tip before I left. I didn't give one because the massage was painful, and the masseuse lacked the ability to communicate to me when she would hop in my back and begin to break dance. After the massage she demanded a tip and when I denied she called the little enforcer to NOT politely ask why. I told him I gave 5$ to the lady at the front and said it's not enough. I kindly said that's all I had and laughed because he was really upset. DO NOT COME HERE, I wasn't intimidated by them but someone else might be and that's not fair and definitely not right. read more

Worst massage ever!!! Bug bites on arm from massage bed. Dingy, not clean. Man covered and drenched me in oil. I still cannot get it off till showering at home. Someone call the better business bureau! Went on 07/24/25 3:30pm read more

you'll regret coming here. was forced to receive an hour body massage after calling for an hour foot massage on the phone and also asking for that in person. but the woman refused to accept that and made me get the hr body massage. then it gets worse with the massage itself. no need to say more, it's bad. when the massage lady left the room I cracked my neck and back and left in the same shape. it gets worse. when I leave I ask to take a photo of the prices, and the woman says okay and the man I assume running the shop comes out of a pitch black room angry yelling at me to delete the photo. I left and acted like this was all just normal. never again for damn sure read more

Said thy would take me so drove straight there. They called me multiple times on my way then were going to over charge. DO NOT GO

Worst service ever and dirty! The man yelled at me in Chinese and threw the towel off me

This massage was hysterically bad. I came in to just ask how much a massage was and because of the language barrier I was just confused and paid the $55 to get a full body massage with oil. I said my neck and shoulders have big painful knots so I needed as much pressure as possible. I was lead to the massage room and told to undress. I guess I was taking too long to get undressed so the lady returned and the started to lift up my dress, pointed at my underwear and said "Don't take off." She left and I got on the table and some man didn't even introduce himself and started pressing on my back with very little pressure. Because he wasn't speaking I assumed he didn't understand English, so the entire time I was just seething and picturing myself writing this review. When the oil eventually was applied, it was WAY too much. I felt like he was turning my body into a slip and slide and comical fart noises were happening at the low pressure being applied. He would take breaks to open the door and hock a loogie outside. He eventually asked if I was Okay and I said "I came in because I have a horrible knot here, please press on it." He barely pressed on it and then left to get warm towels and I'm assuming to go to the bathroom because when he came back his pants wreaked of urine. I did tip him 25% because I felt bad. Anyway, I don't want the employees to lose their livelihood but I need to warn people who are thinking of potentially going there. They need to go in an entirely new direction to stay in business. read more

The guy Matt is very professional and courteous , I always felt relaxed and comfortable after the massage , the place is clean too!! If you want to have a good massage and foot massage , come here , the pricing is very reasonable and competitive read more

This place is really great. It's a very relaxing place for me. The massage is very comfortable. It's worth going again

For the cost of the quick appointment I thought it was a great experience. It's not a place with frills but I had a very sore back with backpacking that they helped immensely. read more

this experience was so uncomfortable. insisted on a bigger tip even before service. aggressively grabbed me and did not feel relaxing at all. i should have never come here read more

If I could leave anything below 0 stars I would. I am not one to bash businesses but truly this business should not be allowed to offer care. I went to this business by myself as a female who was seeking relaxation. I went in and the woman at the front charged me before my service which was fine until I realized why. I go to the back room. It is extremely old, and smells like cigars. I clarify I am taking off all my clothes and she walks up to me pulls my sweater up and pulls the waistband of my tights to look at my underwear!!! I let it go and ultimately hope the massage is good. I wait in the room I am only covered with a towel so my hips are visible. The gentleman who massaged me did not know how to massage at all. I woke up sore this morning. He drenched me in oil, fully drenched even when I stood up from the massage bed it was coated in oil. During the massage, he opened the window about 10 times to spit a luggee. At the end of my massage, I was on my back, and once finished he slapped my face around and laughed. When I was leaving I was extremely uncomfortable. I asked for a refund and they refused. The woman placed the receipt on the desk and asked for a tip and continued saying "$20" "$20"... I felt extremely uncomfortable and vulnerable so I put in $5. She was like "No sista this is not good." I moved forward towards the door and the man stood in front of it and did not let me grab the door knob. He urged me to go back to the desk and fix the tip. I asked to please let me out. Ultimately, this place is disgusting. Being a female in the business alone made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I do not recommend it at all and if I could file to remove the business from providing services in general I would. read more

I needed a good massage to work out the knots in my neck & back , I got exactly what I needed & I will return. This is a simple place , not the best ambiance but they did the exactly what my back needed read more

First time we've been there my sister and I went here for an hour and half full body massage.we both loved it and the price is very reasonable you can request if you like to have a male Or female masseuse but to me it doesn't matter. Place is decently presented and clean. It was a nice place to discover since my sister like to get a massage every 2 weeks at least!hope you guys get the same results read more

This has been my go to massage for over 2 years. Lilly is a miracle worker and I always walk out of there feeling great!

If negative stars were possible, that's what I would rate. I normally don't write bad reviews, I'll simply just not go to the business again, but people need to know how horrible this experience was. The man was way way waaay to rough with this massage. I did not ask for a deep tissue. I said "ow" and "okay, that's enough for me." multiple times before I basically had to get up, topless, and get off the table. Not only was I pissed off that he did not listen to me when I asked, "Can I please get dressed now?", I left in MUCH more pain and I have bruises all over my arms and on my back. -10 stars. Horrible experience. Don't waste your $55 here. Might as well have someone beat you up instead. read more

Happy Garden Massage - Bruises from the massage therapist. - Massage Near Me - Pacifica, California

Great massage, always professional and clean. Great atmosphere and price is good too. Highly recommended

Came here with my friend with high hopes. The women who greeted was Friendly but was very hard to communicate as there was a language barrier. The room was very dark and definitely could have been updated. The woman at the front desk massaged my friend and I had who I believe to be her husband. Let's just stay both I and my friend did not enjoy our massages at all, with inappropriate grazing of places no one should touch at all during a massage, the lady kept Answering phone calls and leaving the room to greet customers. The male Was way too rough, My Neck and back are severely bruised even when told it hurts, he nodes an smiled then assisted to my Feet. Then to top off our visit they stood by the front door blocking the exit asking for a tip with hand out. I Do not recommend! read more

Don't go here some guy did massage to me worse massage ever have in my life I wake up whit bruises this guy is horrible , so much pain for 3 days read more

A year later and Lilly is still my go to masseuse. I had to see Lilly every week when I was in a 8 week fight camp. She worked my muscles over so well and had me ready for my fight. I love it here because you get a great service and where are you going to find another massage parlor with these prices? This establishment is clean, friendly, and most importantly consistent. You know what you're going to get every time. read more

I came back here for a second try, so far so good! Owner is very nice and friendly. Foot massage price is reasonable and cheaper then other places. 30 mins foot n 30 body ( on the chair ) ! read more

Happy Garden Massage - Menu - Massage Near Me - Pacifica, California

Lily and Matt are very nice and my boyfriend and I enjoy it. I don't know why other reviews have lower ratings, but this place is awesome. This is a good massage for the main stress areas and makes you feel calm and relaxed. Massage is great, just the right amount of pressure is relaxing; And the service is very detailed. read more

Worst massage. I felt beaten up. He did not listen to my feedback. Just kept pounding away. I have had massages for 50 years. I have had deep pressure, but this was not good. Felt pain for many days. read more

We called to set an appointment for two massages. We showed up at the correct time (10 min early actually). They told us to wait 30 more minutes. When we came back, they took me back but said my husband would have to wait another 15 minutes. So far, so good. Sort of. My masseuse was a man and asked if I wanted soft or medium. I chose medium and said no deep tissue. He scrubbed my back with his knuckles so hard that I have been sore for two days. When I told him it was too hard, he patted me and said no. And kept doing the same thing. At one point, I started to crawl off the table. He just kept telling me "no" or "stop". My massage was supposed to be 90 minutes and full body. He barely touched any parts except my shoulder blades. He put the oil on my feet then promptly wiped it off. Not much massaging. He drowned my body in oil then wiped it off with towels. Although this or normal, it seemed this was only done to take up time. My husband said his massage was similar and he's sore too. I would not recommend this place. read more

Enjoyed my massage with Linda and would come back! A no frills massage place. Expect some noisiness from outside as it's not soundproofed well but I didn't mind it. I arrived late and Linda was honest and gave me the full hour; I really appreciate it, thank you! read more

A waste of $120. The guy took 45 minutes of towel massage, I barely felt it. 10 mins was spent with interruptions. And then he slathered and soaked me with icky massage oil for 20 mins. I wanted him to stop the massage but didn't understood instructions. And gave rude comments on my fats. read more

Wonderful service and incredible massage! Thank you happy garden massage for making me so relaxed ! Matthew and Lily do great work (:

Came here with my friend last minute. They were not very polite. My massage was too light after asking for more pressure, and my friend's unfortunately was too hard. She repeatedly asked for less pressure and even had her hand swatted away when she said "no", and "ouch". They also only had small towels for drapery, not even a sheet. Afterwards, she and I were both hustled for a bigger tip than we thought was deserved. The ambiance was non existent and the interior is old and grungy. I unfortunately would not recommend this business. Definitely find somewhere else to take your business. read more

IF you get Lily she is a good massage therapist BUT spends too much time interrupting massage answering phones or checking in other customers. Very unprofessional! That should be totally unheard of when dealing with a good paying and tipping customer. Also ended my massage 10 minutes early because she had another customer waiting....sheesh! read more

I came here to relax on my day off today and instead I kinda had a bad experience. First when I arrived and paid, I tipped 20% to only have the lady tell me it wasn't enough. Like what? She coerced me to raise my $9 tip to $15. Not only is that rude, but overall they did not deserve that high of a tip. Second, I had a male (not sure of his name) masseuse and boy it felt like it was his first massage ever. He was digging his elbow into my shoulder bones on my back. I've had massages before but none like this. I literally feel as if my shoulders are bruised it hurt so bad. If you go here, ask for a female masseuse! read more

Got an amazing massage from "Lisa" today. If you're not modest about being nude, and you like a deep, intense massage, this is the chick for you. She literally kneeled on my back and butt. Plus she used hot stones and hot wet towels. It's not the typical high end spa atmosphere, but I don't really care too much as long as the massage is good. $45! The price is SO RIGHT!! read more

Not relaxing. Very rough! Told my male masseuse (several times!) to stop and do it softer. I was obviously in pain, but he just laughed at me and continued with the same pressure! Not going back ever.. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. They were so rough. Even before we got the massage she asked us to pay and required us to give $15 tip each BEFORE the massage. She also answered a phone call in the middle of my massage. This is my first ever yelp review and that says ALOT. I've never experienced anything so bad that I had to write a review. NEVER GO HERE read more

All I can say is Doris is the best! This is a no frills non-fancy massage place - you come in, pay for the massage, go into a room, wait for the masseuse and undress yourself. I didn't know what to expect but oh my goodness, this is the best massage ever! read more

Very good massage. Very relaxing and everyone was nice. Good place to come to get rid of stress and soreness in body and feet. Will definitely come back again! read more

This is a Chinese cheap massage. Price here is very good. $45 for 1 hour massage and they do expect a tip. They do not understand English very well though. I came for a 90 minute deep tissue massage and only got 60 minutes light pressure. When I asked for more pressure I got "ok" but no change several times. Next session was better with older woman who works the counter. She did better pressure and worked my legs well. read more

OMG!!! I'm So excited to have discovered this massage place. It's walking distance from my house. And Doris is the best ever! The first time I tried this place and I'm in love! The price is so good for how your quality of work is! I will always be coming here! And I will share this place to my whole world read more

I don't know why the other reviews are lower on the ratings, but this place was incredibly amazing. Did a full body massage for an hour and the masseuse hit every body part and knew exactly what she was doing. Highly recommend coming hear vs. a resort spa / luxurious high end massage read more

I try to get a quick massage before long haul flights, time permitting. This is proximate to SFO. There's a masseuse here named "Matt". I really prefer a hard, "hurts so good" pummeling, particularly on my upper back and shoulders. This guy breaks a sweat. (it's actually comical and makes me laugh at how vigorously he takes it, but it's specifically what I request. It is funny to me, though) He is literally dripping avalanches of sweat. If this grosses you out, take a pass or a more timid touch. If you want to work out all your knots thoroughly and relish the feeling of being completely rejuvenated - ask for Matt with no hesitations. read more

Just my opinion, but I don't think this place is good at all. Just to rattle off some problem areas. 1) I never had a massage parlor that pulls down your underwear pass your butt (strange) and to top that off doesn't cover it with a towel. I would say a majority of the massage my ass was hanging exposed. (weird and uncomfortable) 2) It didn't seem like they had a routine down, the lady kept using her elbows on the right side of my spine then lower back and lastly side butt for the longest time. After the 8+ time of going over the same spots, it started to become uncomfortable. The left side was the same. 3) I never do this during the massage, but early on when my ass was exposed I told her to focus on my neck and not my butt. Even using hand gestures to get the message across, but nothing changed. 4) If the towel is too hot for the person to hold, I think it's a clear sign not to put it on me. She @#$% burned me with the towel when trying to wipe down the oil For those reasons, I will not be coming back. There are much better places that do the same service without all the trouble. read more
