It was my first time here yesterday. I brought my husband, mom and SIL with me. Before coming in, I called about theee hours before to make an appointment and I am glad they were able to accommodate the four of us on such short notice. My husband and I did the couple massage. It was a combination of both body and foot massages. They also did hot stone massage in between. The pressure was just right. They ask you anyway if you want more pressure or not. The massage was an hour long and if you look at the prices at their website, you can tell it was a very good deal. My mom and SIL did the combo massage (hour-long foot and body massage combo). They loved it! The place is just small but they have individual stalls and for couples, they have private rooms. From now on, I will be coming back here at least once a month to relieve my back pain. read more

Thr ladies here get the job done. I had 2 massages here during my trip home. While getting one yesterday b4 my flight, some random dude walks in asks if they did more than massage. Lol. This is not a rub n tug massage place. read more

One of the best massage place in Washington. Ask for coco. She's amazing... perfect pressure (strong)

My girls and I love coming here for the super hard super affordable massages. Not a minute is wasted in the massage- they always cover legs, head, arms, everything! And hot rocks are complimentary. The place is clean, parking is plentiful, and the staff is great. Call ahead to make sure you can get in and get the couples room so you can chat during the service. read more

Michelle was amazing! Very strong deep tissue massage, I will come back again if in the area.

First time here with my partner- we did a couples massage and it was glorious! We did hot stones one hour massage- by the time it was done we both felt like melted butter- my partner is all about deep tissue while I'm fat less tough but they adjusted to our needs perfectly and Mei, my massage person worked all my tough spots and really broke Thru my knots and tension- magical hands that just knew how to alleviate pain! Highly recommend! Mei was amazing! read more

Me and my husband are from out of town and I made an appointment for 5pm. Unfortunately we were running late and they were very understanding. When we got there they led us to the room and let me tell you!!! The Best Massage we ever had! They really got down and worked each and every knot!! We are going back before we leave town and adding the Foot service!! Totally recommend 5 star service!! read more

I came here because I wanted to treat myself but also because I've been in a ton of pain. I was able to be seen fairly quickly, the owner was apologetic because it was busy. Clean and warm. I am going to recommend you call ahead if it's a Friday or weekend because they are very busy. Please respect their time as they are short staffed and may not be in a position to accept walking during high volume. The massage itself was good, with good pressure. I might be back if I can't find a regular LMT. Lot parking. Good prices. read more

New to the area and so happy to have found Michelle at Ideal massage! It's everything I look for in a Thai massage spot. No frills, super knowledgeable and highly effective massage to help offset all the time spent sitting at my desk. A new go-to spot :) read more

Decided to give this place a try because it was last minute and the pictures didn't look that bad. When it comes to massage/spas - relaxation, cleanliness and service is what I rate them on. Upon walking in, it seemed like someone had just heated up seafood so it smelled pretty bad. We were quickly accommodated which was nice. The massage itself was okay. I couldn't fully enjoy it because The commercials would interrupt the soothing music, at one point I heard a child on their tablet, the ceiling was not closed off (does that make sense?? ) so I could hear everything going on outside of the door. I found out that my friends didn't even have music in their room but they could hear it playing in my room. If you have back pain and need someone to dig in, this may be the place for you. For me, I didn't feel clean and there were multiple factors that made it not so relaxing. I'm giving 2 stars because the customer service was great and I can see they were trying to make it work. Personally, I wouldn't go back. For the price and the level of discomfort I felt, it just didn't add up. read more

We were looking for a massage place that could accommodate our party of four and they were able to accommodate us at short notice on a weekend. Great massage with hot stones included, plus if you come in groups of 3 or more, everyone gets a discount of $10, making it $50 for a 60min massage which is a fantastic deal. They have a loyalty stamp card program as well. All therapists wore face masks throughout the massage so we felt COVID-safe. Support this woman-owned business if you're in the Federal Way area! read more

Typical Chinese Reflexology spot with Foot Soak and Reflexology, and full body reflexology. My partner and I opted for the 90 Minute (30-minute foot and 60-minute body) reflexology package, which was very good for me. My partner's first time experiencing this and he was was caught off guard with the strength and pressure from this massage. Communication is key when it comes to these places, my practitioner didn't ask me about tension or really consulted with me about the actual massage, just went for it, while my partner, it sounded like, was getting a good beat down. I think it's fairly typical for these places to just go for it when it comes to the services they offer. While I prefer this style on my massages, some might not and it might steer people away. I would say, give it a try, if it's not your cup of tea, just laugh about it later. I know I did, but laughed about it as an experience with my partner. The place is in a strip mall in the Twin Lakes Neighborhood of Federal Way, with it being pretty close to the parking lot, sometimes you heard people yelling or cars passing by so the ambiance could be a little bit better, but what do you expect from a fairly priced Chinese Reflexology place (I've gone to worst, where it smelled like cigarette smoke and felt no form of privacy, this place had none of those, so it was definitely a step up). read more

My expectations for this place were low. In a strip mall, $60 for a 60 min massage and same day appointment availability, but I was still hopeful based on the earlier reviews. I gave 3 stars because I was pretty sore from my workout routine and the massage did loosen things up. That said, the technique and ambiance left something to be desired. My masseuse used sudden, erratic thumping and pinching when she spotted a tight muscle. It wasn't wholly unpleasant, but it didn't seem like she'd been professionally trained or had much experience. The Thai massage stretching at the end was a nice addition, but the masseuse didn't have a good handle on how long to hold a stretch, where to put pressure, she mostly just flung arms and legs. I think I would have really enjoyed this part of the massage if she had a better understanding of the body and technique. Unfortunately, despite other reviewers saying to the contrary, it did smell of cooked food inside and there were several full volume phone and in person conversations and a doorbell that rang frequently. I would have understood quiet conversations, because the walls don't reach the ceiling, but there didn't seem to be any attempt to maintain a quiet environment. I would go back if I had an appointment with Mei (based on reviews she sounds like the best) and I really needed a massage for mobility / pain. If what you're after is relaxation, I would spend the extra cash on a spa appointment. read more

If I could give this place a NEGATIVE 100 I would. Took my mom and daughter today who are both visiting from out of state for the holidays! What an embarrassing and awful experience my mom was in room 1 , I was in room 2 and my daughter was in room 3. We could hear loud conversations between the employees for most of the 60 minutes. It wasn't until I came out and spoke with my mom and realized it was her therapist, talking on the phone, her entire massage as well as talking to other employees through the walls very loudly. After I had already paid, is when I realized her person was the one answering the phone while massaging her. TERRIBLE experience! I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone!!!! read more

I frequent this style of massage in many cities across the US. Ive had my fair share of fantastic and terrible. My experience today was neither. I will say it was decent and I will return. After reading all the reviews, I was a little hesitant. I am pleased to say that my lady did a pretty good job. She checked in with me on the pressure several times and once I told her medium was my preference, she did not disappoint. Additionally, her lower body massage (glutes) and stretching was on point. Worth a visit. read more

I just stopped by and took a body message after ordered a pizza in the next shop, they were so nice and professional on this, the lady whose name is Yun gave me a wonderful time and message, i feel very comfortable and relax after that, i will definitely come again next time, thank you . read more

First of all I have very strict requirements for my massage people and this place hits them all. 1. Walk-ins work AND they take reservations. We walked in. And they took us right away. 1 hour couples massage = $100, fantastic price. 2. No chit chat. I want to relax, sometimes I fall asleep. She didnt talk to me, except to check about pressure. 3. Smells. Everything smells good, not too bleachy....it was perfect. Highly recommend this place. Check it out. It's clean, warm...the women are professional and pleasant. We are making appointments to return. read more

IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD. I went in for a 60 min foot + 30 min body massage. The lady that was massaging me and I swear she was rubbing me. Nowhere near what a massage would feel like. I asked her to go harder but she didn't change the pressure until I asked the third time. She would get up every 5 mins (at least 10 times during the massage, I kid you not) to pick up a phone call or talk to a customer. They're severely understaffed. Then she was sorry and said she would give me 20 more minutes free. YET, she ended the massage 15 minutes EARLY. That's a 75 min massage, not 90 or 110 like she promised. When it came time to pay, I mentioned that she had ended earlier than even the 90 minutes even though she promised 20 EXTRA minutes. She started getting angry very quickly and started raising her voice at me. She couldn't speak English enough to explain herself. But when I explained calmly that she started at 1:20 and ended at 2:35 (75 mins not 90), she couldn't give an answer but just started yelling in Chinese. @_@???? Another lady came out to see what's happening and it happened to be the owner. She was saying sorry to me over and over and told the worker to stop yelling and walk away. She said she would charge me $60 for an hour body massage but to tip the worker at least $10. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Even the owner is afraid of that crazy worker. WHAT A SCARY AND COMIC EXPERIENCE......... YEP NEVER GOING BACK THERE AGAIN. read more

This place can be hit or miss and I don't really like it because you are paying for a specific service and I feel like you don't always get it here. Sometimes I go in and it's great and other times they don't do this or that and all of the sudden this is an additional charge, things like that. Once I got a face massage the other time I didn't. And I always go and get the same thing, a deep tissue massage w hot stones and every time it's different. Once the rocks were way too hot so the second time I skipped them and she still put a hot towel and it was a big mess, kind of rushed and not so relaxing. I've had massages by different people and everyone does it differently, so I suggest scheduling it w someone you liked? Also, I had done a couples massage here and they ladies kept talking durning and laughing or leaving often which takes away the whole relaxation part of it. Anywho, I did not like when I went to pay this last time and the woman skipped the percentage for the tip amount for me to put my own amount and I had to go back and forth w her about it because she didn't want to show me the percentage until I pulled my phone out to do it myself when she got annoyed and did it. That was awkward and annoying! I keep dealing with it because it's so close to home and they take walk ins but honesty it's too inconsistent for my liking. read more

Was and go here at least 2 a week depend my pain level " I visit few places like happy feet and such " Happy feet trow me of with dirty towels and chairs they where constantly talking no minute of relaxing " this place however is new in the area and I LOVE IT ! Linda and coco are great gals and I get great massages they know the needs I have with out telling them they somehow figure out my body and feet and know already my pressure points !

See all

I don't think you can find a place that provides such quality massage and facial with great customer service and price. They are the best! Hands down! I have been coming every month for facial and massage for over a year and they never let me down. read more

I got a foot massage and was relaxing even though I'm ticklish. The masseuse made me very comfortable and was very nice about my feet being ticklish. After it was done, my feet felt so smooth and it was so relaxing during the process. I would definitively come back again and experience another kind of massage. read more

Great place. My wife and I went here for Date night and I think it was the best massage I ever had. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended! I got a 90 minute massage and an acene clansing facial here. Great prices and good service.

I saw the reviews to this place and decided to drop in. I did a 60 minute deep tissue massage. The place is very clean and the staff very friendly. The massage was excellent and the price is VERY reasonable. The massage therapist (Mei) who did my massage was very professional. I will be going back again. If you are looking to get a great massage without the high end frou frou prices, I highly recommend this place. read more

First time here. The experience overall was quite nice. The layout is quite simple , But clean and efficient. I asked for a deep tissue massage, with special emphasis on my mid and lower back. I like very deep pressure, and Miss Mai was very obliging. Went so far as to stand on my back and dig in her heels which was awesome! I will definitely be back. read more

This was a wonderful experience and badly needed. Hot stone massage and as a new client a facial mask during the massage. Anna was my masseuse and she focused where I needed and requested as well as overall. Highly recommend recommend. Very reasonably price as well. read more

I went today and got the full hour hot stones massage. Kelly was my masseuse and she was great. I had a neck and back pain and she relieved all of it by the end of the massage. I will be coming here again for sure! read more

Last minute decision to get a massage. Searched Yelp and found Ideal Massage - close to home, prices were fair and had good overall reviews/ratings. Called to ask if there was any chance I could get in that day and they were able to schedule me within a few hours. I don't really expect much for a strip-mall massage parlor, but I was pleasantly surprised - welcomed me at the door, place was clean and overall first impression kept me there... didn't feel "shady" or "sketchy" at all. Opted for the 60 minute massage - it was perfect. I wanted a relaxing, quiet massage and that's exactly what I got. No chit-chat or interruptions. I'll be going back! read more

Visited Ideal Massage for the the first time today. I had a 60 minute body massage and 30 minute foot massage with Jenny. She got to work right away and found all of the tight spots in my body. The prices here are well worth it and I will definitely be back soon!! read more

Sakura massage is now Ideal Massage. New owners and the massage therapist was phenomenal. Professional, courteous and so strong. I wish I ordered the 90 minute massage I can not wait to go back. This is my new favorite hidden gem. 60 minute foot massage was $35 and well worth every dollar. read more

Lovely place! I enjoy the effort out into the massage and the great prices! Highly recommended!

Never going back. Waste of money. I didn't like the massage. I don't think they're license massage therapist. Her techniques are repeating and I have to constantly tell her to do it harder. Aside from that, they were short staff that day. The girl was leaving our massage door open in the middle of the massage to answer phone calls and greet other customers. Her partner didn't come until 30 minutes but she said the first 30 minutes was free. They keep talking to each other while giving me and my bf lame ass massages. Otherwise, we still paid and gave them a reasonable tip. read more

It's the best place for me to reward myself! Perfect massage service I've ever experienced! Store is clean, and the staffs are very kind and professional. I'm going to take my friends with me next week! You guys should definitely have a try!!! read more

I've been coming here twice a month for 5 months now and will continue as long as they are in business. Mei is my massage therapist (LMT) that I see everytime, she is by far the best of the best! I retired from the Army 20+ years ago, I spent 24 years in the Army as an Infantry soldier and have had numerous massage therapists as far back as during my time in the Army and none of them compare to the quality and healing effects of the deep tissue massage Mei provides (yes I am in my 60's). Since my time in the Army my back, shoulders and knees have been problematic due to the wear and tear from all that time in the Infantry; I can say pain has been my constant companion for decades! Mei has been a Godsend for sure. The muscle pain/tightness relief from her deep tissue massage lasts until my next massage, something that I never had before with any other therapists. If you have muscle pain, back, shoulders, knees etc.. Mei will get you back in action! As I said she is the best of the best!! read more

This is my new go to massage place! It's a bit pricier than I'm used to ($30 for an hour, a ten dollar difference) but this guy puts in effort and not perverted at all! They also do a whole hour! The only downside is it's next to dominos so you hear them slamming the pizza dough and the workers arguing lol read more

This was my first massage ever! I came to this place based on price and because they did walk ins. I had an appt around 7pm, but arrived late. They said it was totally fine and took me and my sister in for a couples massage. The lady who took me did my whole body and tried her best to get the tension out of my shoulders and upper back. The experience was overall relaxing. read more

Very nice, legitimate massage therapy. Great foot massages. Most of the staff doesn't speak a lot of English, but enough to communicate. They all speak Mandarin Chinese. I use the Google Translate app, that works great! I highly recommend this massage establishment. read more

I was a bit skeptical at first, I've been to several Chinese massage places only to get a male smoker with rough hands. My husband and I desperately needed a massage today and thought we'd give this place a try. I was incredibly impressed! The masseuse I had was better than some of the 4 star resort spas I've been to. My husband, a former massage therapist, is very critical of most places he goes but he thought his massage was great too. Linda and Coco were the best. Highly recommended! read more

Busy work nearly drove me crazy. And I really needed a massage today. Thank you, Lily. You are so friendly and professional. I really felt relaxed. If I have time, I will come back! read more
