I've been wanting to try Hawaii Choi Spa for a while now, and today the timing seemed right. I phoned and made an appointment for noon and scheduled for 90 minutes. I was excited to try something different. I arrived early, so was waiting outside. A woman arrived right after me and tried the doorknob. It was locked, but the owner (Ms. Choi) opened the door to let her in, and I followed her. They seemed to know each other, and Ms. Choi asked if I had the noon appointment, which I confirmed. She asked us to wait, speaking to me in English and to the other woman in Korean. She explained the options to me, and I opted for Deep Tissue. As we sat waiting, I learned that the woman had been there several times before and spoke highly of them. It was very interesting to watch. I saw three different therapists coming out of the treatment rooms, walking briskly back and forth, seemingly coordinating with each other. From the outside (our vantage point), there was a lot of activity going on. I did not feel forgotten, with Ms. Choi occasionally stopping by to briefly converse with us in the waiting area. After a few minutes, two clients exited their treatment rooms around the same time. Ms. Choi met with each personally, asked about their treatments, and assisted them in settling their payments. Then a third client came out from her room, and Ms. Choi met with her as well. It was our turn now, and we were guided to our respective treatment rooms. Ms. Choi gave me a brief explanation of how things are done there and left me to prepare. When I was ready, one of the therapists came in to work on me. I reminded her that I wanted a deep-tissue massage, and she confirmed that was her understanding as well. She asked if I wanted cupping, and I declined. Later, she asked if I wanted a facial done, and I declined that as well. I wanted to have the full 90 minutes devoted to the massage my body had been craving. My first impression as she worked on me was that it felt completely different from massages I've had elsewhere. I asked her if it was her style or Korean style, and she answered, "Korean style." After a few minutes, I heard Ms. Choi's voice asking how everything was and if I had any injuries on my body. She then asked if it would be okay if she walked on my back, and I said that would be fine. I felt her on my back, and as soon as she started treating me, things took on a livelier tempo and energy. Working from above, she seemed to know exactly where to apply just the right pressure, finding spots on my back, arms, and legs that needed to wake up. She concluded her portion of the treatment, and then my assigned therapist resumed with the rest of the treatment. My impression as I lay there in the treatment room was in complete contrast to the one I had in the waiting room. The treatment itself felt calming, continuous, and relaxing. I had lost track of time, but they seemed to do amazing work in just 90 minutes. After I dressed and came out, Ms. Choi greeted me again and explained her part in the overall treatment. She described their style of massage as "Korean." I would have to agree that it was way different from any massage I had before. I look forward to my next visit. read more

I did a 90-minute session for my first visit here. I chose a deep tissue massage, and my mom got a regular massage. The experience already includes so many great additions like a hot towel, facial, and hot stones. It was my first time trying hot stones during a massage and I absolutely loved it. Great prices:) I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back, especially to try cupping next time. Auntie Choi is incredibly knowledgeable and has truly mastered her craft. She is extremely friendly and attentive, and so is her staff. They do have a customer parking lot, and if that is full, there is also a paid parking area behind the building. I felt amazing afterward, and my mom loved her massage as well. It is such a special and welcoming place with great privacy and a well-designed space. I definitely want to come back again, and I would love to try a couples massage in the future. All I know is I will absolutely be returning. read more

This is my first time writing a yelp review and I'm glad it gets to be about this place. Wow everything was amazing! Everyone was really nice and welcoming. The ladies working on me really knew what they were doing and also very assuring, asking me how I feel and if I'm doing okay every step of the way. Will definitely be back! read more

One of THE BEST massage I've ever had. Hot stone, deep tissue, cupping - amazing! And Choi is so sweet and welcoming! I loved our conversation, her tips and extra care she gave to make the tension go away. I found my place facial was great too! read more

Such a great massage experience! This was my first time trying a Korean-style massage, and I loved it. My masseuse was very informative and explained that it wouldn't be a traditional, soft massage, it was a deeper treatment focused on posture, alignment, and working out stubborn knots. I left feeling a little tender, but a few days later I felt amazing. I can't wait to come back and try their facial services next. Hawaii Choi Spa is definitely a place worth visiting at least once a month, if not more. Mahalo! read more

It's not often that I treat myself to a massage but this place is hands down the best spa I've ever been to! The staff was so friendly and I truly never felt so relieved after. Also did cupping which was amazing! A+++ service, I will 100% be back! read more

Me and my husband came here during our honeymoon for the 90-minute couples massage. One worker didn't show up, so the staff was scrambling a bit but the massage was amazing! The masseuse's were professional and kind, and we loved talking with Ms. Choi. She was so nice and gave us some face masks, pastries, and even some korean food! This was the best massage I have ever received, and in the end we received cupping as well. Our tension melted away and helped rejuvenate us for the rest of the trip. Since Ms. Choi and her employees have PT experience, I feel like they were very knowledgeable and thorough. This would be my go-to place if I lived in Hawaii, but everytime I visit Hawaii, I will come back! We were really tired after the massage, so I would recommend hydrating alot and resting for an hour or two! read more

Excellent massage! Was able to book a same day couples massage for 90 minutes. Was late due to bad traffic, but so glad they were still able to accommodate for 90 minutes. After a few unsatisfying experiences at my normal spa, decided to check this place out based off of their reviews. Prices are reasonable and I left feeling so refreshed and no more tension. Partner has sciatica and said his legs are feeling great. I may opt for sports massage next time, because I'm pretty active and have lots of ouchies, but even my partner said 10/10 and we will be coming here from now on. Massage also includes a facial. I was very puffy this morning, but not anymore! They also have stamp cards for frequent guests, which I love read more

I happen to stumble across a TikTok with this hidden gem. The service was absolutely amazing. The massage was like no other. I've never experienced anything that catered to me this well. I will be flying back specifically for this spot. read more

AMAZING Korean style massage! First time here, my friend and I made appointment easily, and our massage therapists were Aunty Choi and Aunty Hana. Superb experience. I had Aunty Hana, and she had amazing technique in finding and getting rid of my knots. Once she zeroed in on them, she stayed consistent and firm to smoothen them out. I also had the heated stones massaged all over my back, cupping, and an interesting face massage and sheet mask that made my face surprisingly glowing afterward! near the end Aunty Choi and Aunty Hana shared wonderful stories about life, travels, food, etc. it really felt like visiting a friend's house. I've tried other massage places in the area, and although they may have different emphases, Hawaii Choi Spa is by far my absolute favorite. read more

I am writing this review on behalf of my mom. But she shared that this was by far one of the best massages she has ever received! I treated her to a massage for Christmas and she absolutely enjoyed Chois. The service was efficient, they were on time to begin, and so talented. They did cupping on her and her facial/lymphatic drainage massage was amazing! I will definitely be treating her again and trying out Choi's for myself! read more

One of the best and most unique massages we've had! We did a 120min couples massage and Choi and Jennifer were great. They're prompt in time, give health tips, are very kind, and definitely know what they're doing. Would highly recommend!! Parking: free onsite lot shared with other businesses read more

The massages were amazing and affordable! They added on cupping for us after seeing how bad our back pain was. I also did the facial and my skin was glowing afterwards. Everyone in our group had such a great experience that we went back a second time during our trip. The employees are extremely nice and Choi even taught us some stretches to help with the back pain. Can't wait to come back for another massage!!! It was a memorable massage read more

Choi is AMAZING! I treated my friend and I to a massage that I purchased off of Groupon. Choi was so pleasant and so sweet. She really knows her stuff and even tells you what she is doing when she is doing it. She does it all, massage, cupping and traditional Korean facials that really work the facial muscles (the facial is not your typical relaxing one and utilizes extreme pressure to help tone the face). Though very petite, that woman has hands with the strength of a grown man. I wondered how she could apply so much pressure from her tiny feet when she probably weighs a fraction of me. Choi's massage was a combination of deep tissue, Thai (stretching and walking on the back) and hot stones. She treated me like family and it was my first time there. My appointment was a reschedule because my original appointment had to be canceled because my friend couldn't make it. She was so understanding and I felt bad so to our appointment I brought blueberry cream cheese scones and cookies i made. She called me the next day to thank me for the food and to see how i was feeling. I highly recommend coming here! You won't be disappointed. read more

If I could rate this 10 stars I would! My boyfriend and I booked the 90 minute full body massage, hot stone and facial and it was the BEST massage we've ever gotten! We've visited a few places prior but we will forever be visiting this spot! The women are incredibly kind talented and skilled being able to spot the issues that we were experiencing right off the bat. If I could describe the massage in one word it would be healing as all the pain and tightness in my body were magically pushed out with their techniques and attention to detail! The hot stone was also perfectly executed as it really helped loosen and release a lot of the muscle tightness that I had and also the facial was 1000/10. I honestly forgot it came with a facial and didn't expect much, but I've been struggling with bumpy texture underneath my lip and mrs.choi was able to get rid of it in 5 minutes! And my skin feel so smooth ! Worth every penny! read more

Had my first massage with Choi and it was a whole new experience. She uses a Korean style with strong pressure and even walking on the back -- definitely different from a typical spa massage, but I loved it. I walked out feeling like a brand-new person. If you want more than just a light, relaxing rub and are ready for a real body reset, Choi is amazing. I'll definitely be back! read more

Highly recommend!!! My friend recommended Choi's massage. It was amazing!! She's very knowledgeable and professional. I love this place. Definitely I'll go back !!! They have special right now. I only paid for 1hr. Extra cupping therapy and facial and stone massages included read more

My go-to skincare lady recommended Choi for a body massage and face massage. I could tell that Choi was a genuinely kind person from talking on the phone and also via texting. After I lied down on my belly, she immediately knew that I had neck and back problems. She was very thorough while giving me the deep tissue massage and recommended what kind of work-out and stretches I need to do to reduce the pain and to have a good posture. I am glad I met her and will continue to see her for massages. read more

I brought my husband with me for a 90 min couple massage. The lady hit all the right spots and especially my troubled spots. She even went ahead and show my husband how to massage and use cupping on my troubled shoulder when we get home. My muscles are sore but the effects are great. Don't get deals on Groupon cuz the owner can give better deals than Groupon. read more

Aloha! Choi is one of the best massage therapists I have ever tried and I have tried so many because of my neck and shoulders injury. She knows how to connect with my body and tackle all the pain points. She is strong, super nice and her place is so tidy and clean. I feel so relaxed and fresh whenever I get a massage at her spa. I would describe her massage ritual as a piece of art or a story. She is very organized and generous with her time. I also tried her mini facial followed by a Korean facial massage that left me looking so radiant and glowing. Choi is a true healer. Choi's massage is a must and an experience that you will cherish and appreciate for ever. Mahalo Choi for helping me during my journey to get my health back. read more

BEST. MASSAGE. EVER!!! I was recommended this place by a Hawai'i friend and local when I was visiting from LA. From the moment you walk in everyone is so friendly and makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed. Choi was absolutely incredible. She quickly identified tension points and curated a wonderful session based on my needs. She was always making sure things were perfect and it was really nice feeling like she cared that I had nothing less than the best experience. The one thing I would say is GET THE HOT STONES. They were life changing!!! This experience truly made me feel like I had never gotten a proper massage before. I would give 100 stars if I could. Thank you Choi Spa - I will definitely be back next time!! read more
