Great folks. Lots to enjoy Easy informal access to all services. Great food. Very reasonable prices. read more

Finally came back and tried all the amenities including the famous Korean body scrub that I've heard so much from my friends that supposedly gives you baby soft skin. BUT to try it, I had to be in the nude. But I quickly got over the initial awkwardness reminding myself that gendered public bathhouses and saunas are typical in other countries including Korea. Also, when I went on a Friday mid-day it was semi-empty and probably less than half of the customers were Koreans. There were people of all ethnicities, sizes, and shapes. The front desk was pretty helpful and spoke English well so my friend and I had a better understanding of what to expect with the paid services and what sequence to do things. But here's a run down: 1. Pay for services. Call 1-2 days beforehand to make an appointment if you want massages or scrubs. Receive locker key which is a bracelet with a magnet. You have a 6 hr limit to spend there. 2. Lock shoes in small lockers. 3. Change and lock belongings in larger lockers in women's locker room. 4. Either go the co-ed dry sauna rooms and cafeteria with the clothes they provide you OR head to the nude areas which includes showers, pools (cool, warm, jacuzzi), misty sauna, and dry sauna. There's also massage chairs in another room adjacent to the cafeteria. 5. IF you go to the various dry sauna rooms (i.e. Himalayan salt, Fire, Wood, Ice) or resting areas, note that you're actually supposed to be quiet. If I go with a friend and we want to chat, we will find rooms that are empty. Otherwise, we just go to quiet our minds and relax. I recommend going to the Cafeteria to eat only after you're done with your spa day. You need to bring credit card with you if you want to something from the Cafeteria. I ordered a jjajangmyeon (black bean noodle) which was less salty, slightly sweeter than others I've tried. It was pretty good. The entrees come with 3 side dishes which you can return to ask for a refill. 6. IF you order a body scrub, you need to shower then should go to the heated sauna or pool to open your pores before they scrub you. When it is time, the ladies who provide the services will come out to call the number on your locker key. They have ~8-9 scrub rooms separated by a walk high enough so you can't see the next stall over while youre lying down. Kelly did a great job for my 1st experience for the Body Scrub and Massage. She even washed my hair, poured milk over my entire body, and shredded a fresh cucumber salad to apply to my face though it was a bit cold and dripped down my face. My friend enjoyed an acupressure massage by Ruby. She stated that though she was petite in size, Ruby used firm pressure and walked on her back which she liked. Note: They have body wash, shampoo, lotion, hair dryers, and face sized towels. A friend told me that you can ask for bath sized towels too, but not sure how many you can get. All in all, it was a great experience and the facility was clean. Btw, they have a kids' room and kids are allowed in all the areas except the co-ed saunas. read more

Irvine Spa - Black bean noodles - Day Spas Near Me - Irvine, California

First timer here and perhaps my last. Checked in after paying and was handed what looked like a rolled up robe and a plastic band with a magnetic key. Wasn't told where to walk but I figured out on my own. Was practically lost until I asked the very nice cleaning lady about the place. She politely showed me around and told me about the facility and areas of interest. After I unrolled what looked like a mini robe-was an oversized t-shirt, and extra long shorts. Was told I could not wear my own swimsuit. Place lacks privacy if you get a service and also you can only book 7 days in advance. There are no rooms or curtains to privately enjoy your scrub or whatever service you request. It's super cheap to get in and maybe they should raise the privacy to provide doors or heavy curtains to have a little privacy and not be completely exposed to other women patrons. Felt a little invasive. read more

Just your typical spa! Considering how popular they were that day, the space seemed pretty small. Also, way too many people in the ice room considering the size of the room but still a decent experience! read more

EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING PERFECT HERE. I bring everybody I like and love here because they deserve the royalty treatment I receive from I spa all day everyday read more

This place has become a monthly routine tune-up for my husband and I. We've been coming in for a few years now. It does tend to get busy on weekends. Great place to re-energize. A very relaxing atmosphere when it's not so busy, which so far has been weekday mornings. Definitely a Korean spa to check out! read more

If it wasn't for excellent and professional service of Ruby the masseuse we probably wouldn't be back. The spa is very noisy between rude loud customers and unaware staff it's hard to relax. The cost has also become excessive. We have enjoyed the dining, it seems to have improved recently. Please ask your staff and customers to be quiet and considerate, we come here to rest. read more

This place is definitely the best Korean spa I have ever been to in America. The facilities are super clean and there are so many rooms to visit. We can definitely spend a whole half day here with food lots of temperature rooms and just enjoying the heated floors as well as the whole rooms. The Jacuzzi and saunas are also very large. I would definitely come back for the spa services since the value and the cost are very good. I highly recommend this place. Keep in mind that this is a Korean spot and you have to be fully undressed in the wet areas but in the common areas they give you close to wear. read more

PRICE INCREASE ALERT $35 to $40‼ I want to let my fellow yelpers know that they have recently increased entrance fee.

Finally had a chance to stop by at the Irvine Spa with my husband! This was our first time visiting a Korean spa so we weren't sure what to expect. We didn't get any services, just the general pass. When you enter you are separated into men's/women's. You're then provided with a change of clothing. On the women's side you are fully nude and there was jacuzzis and saunas to enjoy. You are also welcome to get dressed in the provided clothing to enjoy the co-Ed space which has food and various dry saunas and and ice room to enjoy. For $35 we felt like it was a good value and spot to relax for a few hours read more

1st time experience visit this place. The common room is plus, huge and many rooms to try. However, for the wet area is too small and no privacy room to lay down. Only have 4 chairs and it was packed during my visited. I tried the shave ice, it's delicious! read more

It breaks my heart to give this place a one star as I really like them, but I have to be honest and help them improve. Management should be more involved and alert in enforcing their rules. During these past few visits, I leave the place more nervous and tens than when I first come in. When groups of frinds come in, this place becomes a loud chat room and not a relaxing spa. They talk loud, talk over each other and voice echos due to nature of the spa environment. I see a lady scrubbing her feet while sitting in the mist sauna area with some sort of a metal object... yuks. Some one brought their food in the big saloon area. No phone rule? yeah right, They use them in the sauna area all the time. I really feel uncomfortable walking around without cloth when these cell phons are being used. When in the large relaxing area, using the massage chair, this guy is on the phone( ON A SPEAKER )! Ispa, love you guys but you really need to fall back to that relaxing spa experiance you set out to be. I Don't have any photos to post cuz I respect their rule of " No cell phone". Other than that this is a nice spa with a lot of potentials. read more

This was my first time at a Korean spa and I must say it was lovely! The entrance fee is $35 per person and you get shorts and shirt and a locker key. The admission fee gets you in the common area for 6 hours. The common area has 5 rooms you can go in. The floors are heated which is heavenly! They also have a cafeteria, which we tried after sitting in the ice room. The place is overall very clean and it was not what I expected of a spa but I had a great time! read more

Last time I went here, back in '16, it was a great place to get the authentic Korean day spa/bath house/sauna experience. Wide open cozy common area to lounge, relax, maybe take a nap. All the amenities you needed to get that extra Zestfully clean & shine were all provided for. And you could technically spend all day here, for about 20-25 buckaroos. Flash fwd to today: No scrubbing towels, 1 bar of soap to share with 5 shower stalls, sauna is looking run down & in need of an update. But my biggest peeve is how they've seemed to systematically design the entire environment to usher you in & out as quick as possible, & make your now 6 hour time limit, unbearably uncomfortable. 1. Their WiFi is horrendously slow. Like pages take forever to load. Video streaming? Ha! The party here is like it's 1999, DSL. On top of that, the location has somehow managed to weaken your cell signal. Your plan to use their wifi to Netflix & chill like a vill, was maliciously thwarted by their IT team. The better to frustrate you, my dear. 2. The common area is practically itself a mini sauna. I just showered 3 times, & within 5 minutes of being in the common area, I'm sweating like a pig. No wonder the Ice Room was always the most popular room. I could hear everyone who walked in breathe a collective sigh of relief, just like those old Coors Light commercials. 3. The common area's floor; I get it, traditional homes in the Korean countryside had sub floor heating pots with coal to warm the house, & they're trying to replicate this experience. But with no provided slippers, & the humid elevated temperature, makes you feel like you're walking on an oven. 4. Movie theatre prices. I expected the food court to be like Disneyland concessions prices. But $6 for a lukewarm bottle of Coke? And they ask you to tip on top? Gthoh you bandits. 5. Finally, my biggest gripe is their now Orwellian 6 hour time limit. That is not the Korean way to run a spa. Even the KTown ones let you stay all day, but put a cap on your parking time, which makes sense. So essentially, they give you a max of 6 hours, but make it so brutishly uncomfortable to stay during those 6 hours by turning up the heat; they purposely weaken your 4-5G signal, promote their complimentary WiFi, only for you to get flashbacks of AOL dialup speeds, so you can pretty much only browse a rudimentary site, & not much else, thereby forcing you to decide to leave early,well before your 6 hour time limit. It's actually a very smart & efficient business model: charge each customer $35, design it so each customer can only stand to be inside for no more than 40 minutes, make it so that only the food court has AC, but also force you to order something if you wish to sit inside, offer a super slow free wifi...discouraging someone from overstaying their 6 hour welcome. Eventually, the customer is forced to buy their high-priced concessions, sit inside a 90 degree humid room, or get on up & leave, by which it will guarantee more room for the next customer. ISpa's owners are very shrewd businessmen/women. Brilliant in a Machiavellian sort of way... Yeah...I'll try the spas in KTown if I'm in the area. read more

I use to be a frequent visitor, but moved away. So, after moving back recently, I thought I'd give it a visit. Unfortunately, I don't feel like it's been kept up very well. Entrance has increased by $10 (now $35) and it doesn't feel as clean and luxurious as it once did. While in the women's spa area, the window that usually looks out to like a small garden area, is now all distorted bc the glass is damaged from heat and then while relaxing in the hot and warm tubs, I peered up and the ceiling has water damage and just looks gross. Also, the showers just don't feel clean. I love the common area and food in the kitchen (even though all dishes are $20 & higher) but likely won't be back until hopefully it gets a refresh. read more

You learn a lot about a business when things go sideways. This was my first visit to this particular Korean sauna (I was visiting from Santa Clarita). After showering, bathing, and a dry sauna, and before going to the jjimjilbang, I had an issue with my locker....namely, a latch issue that wouldn't allow the locker to close and lock. After notifying the front desk, they sent a maintenance man to look at the locker, confirmed that it wasn't working properly.....and without hesitation, got me a new locker and key. After moving my belongings, I made my way to the jjimjilbang....where they had a lot of relaxing rooms, and great food to eat in the food court (I had bibimbap for lunch). But a big THANK YOU to Yuna, Yejin, the rest of the front desk, and maintenance for promptly resolving my locker issue. You had your A-Game on, and it was firing on all cylinders!!!When I'm back in the OC, I will definitely visit again!!! 정말 감사합니다~~ :)))) read more

Irvine Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Irvine, California

My first time here at the I-Spa in Irvine CA. The facility was clean and large; the place appeared to be well organized and maintained. I was there between 8:30am - noon Saturday. I didn't have time to chill in the Jimgibang or the cafe, maybe next time. The costs of the food in the cafe seems to be on the high side. The place had a decent number of people but didn't feel crowded. The Fire Room (Clay Room) was nice and hot, The Salt Room (my favorite, placing hot salt rocks on my body), the Ice Room (to cool off after each sauna), The Forest Room (didn't do anything for me, not sure what it is and what it does; the room temperature was lukewarm with hanging bags of something, perhaps herbs). There is another room that I can't remember. I used all the rooms in the wet area-Sauna, Steam Room, Hot & Cold & Whirlpools, Shower, Body Scrub. All were clean and well operational. My favorite was the superb body scrub. Paul scrubbed my body well, washed my hair, and even gave a short but wonderful massage all over my body too. I left the place feeling satisfied, clean. I felt like a whole new person after shedding my skin. Highly recommend! read more

Love and enjoyed the experience! A $35 for up to 6 hours it's worth the dazzle of Korea without going to Korea. Except there's no hot boiling egg like Kdrama . read more

Good spot to relax. I made a last minute scrub massage and they accommodated. Very clean and friendly. I don't like that they make you pay for your food when you order. I'm used to paying for everything when I leave. I wonder if there have been customers who dine and dash. It's just inconvenient that I'd have to go back to my locker every time I want to buy a drink or snack. The floors in the common area are warm and hot. Be careful if your feet cannot handle heat. The hot rooms are in the are with the hot floor. read more

This was my first time coming to a spa like this. Definitely come here ready to be open minded and comfortable; you will have to undress. I personally didn't go into the pool or utilize the shower but they have those things. You get a uniform and locker key. I like that the key is a little bracelet and can follow you everywhere. You can choose what to bring with you. I had my Apple Watch and phone on me most times. I'm actually thankful I brought my hydro flask with me to keep nearby for water. The food area was sooo clutch! We got food before our scheduled appt massage. What's nice about adding on a a massage is that you can get there early, eat, go into the other rooms such as the sauna, ice room, salt room, etc. I really enjoyed laying on the floor in the common area. The floor is warm and relaxing. It made it easy to stretch and relax. It's pretty easy to get around. Just read the signs, know when to wear the given uniform, and where to be extra quiet:) The only thing I'd say I disliked is how many voices I heard while getting my oil massage. I also wish it were a closed door, it's more like those doors to bars in old country movies Other than that, I really enjoyed my massage. Her technique was great. The fire alarm went off when we were leaving but they did fix that quickly. My ears didn't enjoy that but it wasn't something they could control. read more

Some dude in the cold pool tried to make a move on me got super close and started touching my leg. Had to tell him he was getting too close. Very Predatory, I ain't going back here. These dudes be thirsty in that spa. Probably a hot bed for that type of stuff. Fair warning. read more

I had a really nice time relaxing here. I came on a Friday during the middle of the day and it wasn't too crowded. There's a common area that's co-ed and they let you borrow a t-shirt and shorts. There's also the pools which are not co-ed and you have to be naked. The pools aren't super big, but I didn't have any issues with there not being enough space. I also got a scrub which was much needed. You don't know how much dead skin cells you have on yourself until they scrub it off. To be honest, you can buy the scrub mitt at target for less than $10 and do it yourself, but the ladies there are really thorough. I also like it when they throw warm water on me to wash everything off. It feels really nice. They also wash your face and wash your hair as well. I went to the shared space which is HUGE! People are pretty respectful and are pretty quiet in there. It was a nice temperature to just sit or lay and relax, take a nap or read a book. I also went to the special rooms like the salt rooms, but they were too hot for my so I only stayed in each one for a couple of minutes. They also keep the dressing room area pretty clean. Overall, it's a nice spa to come to and where you can spend hours relaxing. read more

I enjoyed this place a lot, highly recommend if you're in the area. Not only were the sauna and pool areas relaxing but my friend and I ended up falling asleep in the common area. Make sure to check out the food court the Soondubu was amazing! read more

this place is always so relaxing but id you're looking for a quieter experience i reccomend going on the week days!

I Spa is my favorite local spa. It is the only local spa where you can spend a day and feel like everything is taken care of. I visit this spa almost weekly and really enjoy their amenities. Me and my husband share their 10 for $300 pass special. The facility offers a co-ed Jjim-Jil-Bang area which includes 4 different temp hot rooms and an ice room. All the rooms have different benefits, there is a plaque outside each room with a description. There is a common area to relax with heated floors, benches, a kids play room, and a work area with desks and tables. There is also a wonderful restaurant serving delicious Korean dishes. The wet area is gender specific, it features individual lockers, a relaxation room, lounge area, showers, wet and dry sauna as well as 3 different temp pools (warm, hot and cold plunge). They provide all the necessary toiletries including shampoo, body wash, and conditioner. They even go as far as to provide disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste. In the vanity area they have blow dryers, large mirrors and chairs, body lotion and other amenities. Fair warning the wet area is fully nude, it may be uncomfortable at first but you will realize it's not new to everyone else there and you feel more at ease. read more

I love Korean spa, their amenities & services provided for relaxing mind & spirit. It's one of my favorite oasis and self care time. I've been to multiple Korean day spas, this location was conveniently located. However, my experience at this facility was very unpleasant & couldn't believe the lack of respect from other clients utilizing the spa facilities. There were young kids swimming in the pool that was meant for relaxation, shouting as if it was a community pool time, bringing water toys that floats while there are women in the spa pool area trying to relax. This is absolutely not an oasis experience I was hoping for. Other ladies were yelling at the kids to stop shouting, their moms not respecting the general rules & not being attentive to their own children (approx. ages 5-10). I raised children and understand to a point, however, this is not a community pool time. Poster on the wall indicated 'quiet' rules however, completely ignored. Even the manager came by twice to warn the parents & children, with no luck. I requested for a refund and was not granted nor did they even offer an option to come back another day. I literally left the facility more stressed and upset, not to mention my money wasted. Unfortunately I will not be able to recommend this spa as much as I love elevating local businesses, and it saddens me that this spa place doesn't practice their own policies. read more

Decided to book a spa day for me and my daughter for mothers day! I had never been nor heard of a korean spa before so this was a fun new experience to try! My daughter is 12 so it was new for her being in a women locker room (yes full nudity) but we didnt go into shower/pool/jacuzzi so she did not get nude and we stayed in common areas where clothes are required. I got myself a scrub with Angie (does require nudity as well) she was great! My skin felt so soft and I was so relaxed! My shampoo was relaxing as well. After that me and my daughter tried all the rooms which were relaxing. We refreshed ourselves with a Caramel frappe and Oreo vanilla milkshake. We also tried the seafood Udon (we decided to share in case we didn't like it, but we did! This place is great! I would definitely come here again. read more

My review of the $120 body scrub & massage: Girls' day off at the spa. Meet up there at 9am because we're ambitious. Shared laughs over fake-ass meditations, opened pores, and seeing unsolicited vaginas. We each got the body scrub & massage package. They put us on the cutting board, sprayed us with water, and scrubbed us like potatoes. I also saw my friends butt-ass naked and I don't know how I'm going to recover from that trauma. During the massage, I had to stifle a fart because if I farted, I would have to tip extra. It was one of the most difficult things I ever had to endure. The massage came with a refreshing cucumber mask that may or may not have E.coli. It ended with an invigorating hair shampoo and head scrub that made me grateful I didn't shower for 2 days. We ended the day with "authentic" Korean food to show how acculturated and cool we were. We pretended it was a "light meal" to counter our low self-esteem and body-image issues. Overall, it was a fun experience but I would never do it again because I'm cheap. read more

Irvine Spa - Me and two friends - Day Spas Near Me - Irvine, California

Let me start with I've been coming here for years, and I come quite often. I love this place! That said they have truly delayed their maintenance in recent years, which is why I'm giving them 3 stars. The good: - while pricey, the food is delicious! There is a wide variety of Korean food to eat while you're here. - the types of saunas in the coed space is great. I love the variety! - the proximity to Irvine - I love that I don't have to go to Los Angeles. The bad: - the deferred maintenance has really caught up with them. Things like the showers being broken/capped off so they cannot be used, drains being clogged, the men's hot sauna breaking when someone sat on it, the coed saunas look oily and work, the ice room is always half melted - I could go on. - they recently raised their prices - raising prices for a space that's going downhill isn't a great motto if you ask me. - their clothing is hit or miss. Sometimes you get outfits with great elastic, and other times you get a set that falls off your body. - they allow way too many people in sometimes! I've been here where there is a wait to get into any of the coed saunas or when you're sitting shoulder to shoulder in the same gender spas. It's just not relaxing when you're that close. I could say more, but this is a good summary. I really hope they have a plan to maintain their space and make it better! read more

Irvine Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Irvine, California

If you're looking for a truly rejuvenating and relaxing experience, I highly recommend visiting this ispa. One of the highlights of the spa is the traditional Korean scrub, or "seshin." This deep exfoliating treatment is done where you lay on a table while a skilled technician scrubs your entire body using a special cloth. It may sound intense, but the end result is soft, smooth skin that feels truly rejuvenated. In addition to the scrub, the spa offers a variety of other services, including massages, facials, baths, and both wet and dry sauna. They have warm, hot and cold baths. The dry saunas are particularly noteworthy, as they are traditional Korean-style dry sauna that use natural materials like jade, clay to help detoxify the body. They also have an ice room. The spa also provides comfortable clothes and towels, so you can truly relax and enjoy your experience. And if you're feeling hungry, there's a small café on site that serves Korean food and teas. The food served is delicious. Overall, I highly recommend this spa for anyone looking for a unique and restorative spa experience. The combination of traditional Korean treatments, skilled technicians, and a serene atmosphere make it a must-visit destination for anyone looking to de-stress and rejuvenate their body and mind. Parking is ample. However, the front desk staff was not too friendly but it's okay, we only had to deal with them for a few minutes. read more

This spa is great for a girls group spa day or just a safe place for some peace and quiet. I love each therapy room. The only thing I don't like is they don't have mats to lay on the tile with only small brown pillows. On the other hand, their cafe has great food options. I love how they have fresh vegetable and fruit drink options. The showers are clean and the staff values the importance of keeping the spa clean. You can take your time in the spa and just forget about life for a while. read more

This was my first time going to any spa, and it was a great experience! As the other reviews have mentioned, you go to the first locker to place your shoes, and the second section to change your clothes. I also thought that walking without slippers would be "dirty" but it was like walking around the house barefoot. The floors were very clean including inside the bathroom, which was very clean. I'm a bit of germaphobe and was quite happy how clean everything was overall. The towels are on the smaller size, but it wasn't a big deal. They do their job in drying. We ate at the food area and the food was awesome. Everything was fresh and I was sufficiently satisfied after the meal. I got a scrub because I wasn't sure if a massage after a full meal was a wise idea, and it was heavenly! Next time I will get the scrub with the massage and plan my meal accordingly = ) The parking was spacious and non stressful. I was happy with everything overall and will be back again! read more
