I was horribly bruised. I've had deep tissue before and I have never bruised. I have never bruised from a massage before today. I'm assuming the rubbing over cloth without oil may have had something to do with it. Super weird. There was really no technique other than rubbing as hard as humanly possibly. They were nice. It is clean. read more

J F Foot Bath - There is more bruising on my butt. - Reflexology Near Me - Millbrae, California

5 stars for the foot massage--it was great. 0 negative stars customer service. I was in my underwear getting my massage when this silly woman who said her name was ""(whose favorite phrase is "i don't speak English followed by cascades of giggling) entered my room with some guy in his his 30s, so he could have a massage, too. She said to me, "You don't mind" I said, "Yes I do mind" that I wanted my privacy, especially since I didn't know the guy, & these double rooms are for couples & friends, not 2 strangers. She ruined my massage by putting me in this awkward position. She kept giggling saying she forgot (that I was wearing only my underwear.) I said it shouldn't matter. I wanted privacy. I will never go back. Since "LEE"can't speak English, here it is in simple Chinese 部按摩五星好评----太棒了。客户服务零星差评。 我当时只穿了内衣在接受按摩，这时一个傻乎乎的女人（她最常说的句子是"我不会说英语"，说完还连连 giggling）带着一个三十多岁的男人走进我的房间，说也要做按摩。她对我说： "你不介意吧？"我说："我介意。"我想要隐私，尤其是因为我不认识那个男人，而且这些双人房是给情侣和朋友用的，不是给两个陌生人的。她让我处于一个尴尬的境地，破坏了我的按摩。她一直咯咯笑着说她忘了（我只穿了内衣）。我说这不应该重要。我想要隐私。我再也不会回去了。 read more

I just had a fantastic massage. I am in town for a work conference and between traveling and the hotel bed, my neck and shoulders were a wreck. My massage therapist was wonderful. She found exactly every tender spot without me ever having to tell her. She even gave me tips for how I can relieve my shoulder pain at home. If I lived near here, I'd be a regular customer for sure. read more

I have pain on my shoulder. Nana, a new masseur, eased my pain on my shoulder. She is so professional and helpful. read more

Kind people and clean facility. However the massage seemed like a modified version of the chair massage you get in the mall. I opted for a deep tissue but it was all elbows digging into my very sore and painful muscles. At first the lady giving me a massage just deeply dug her very pointed fingers into my back without any oil or lotion then used her elbows to dig in deeper and across my back, that really pulled my skin and hurt. Then I asked for oil which she added but language barrier made it very difficult to communicate during the massage. At times the pressure was waaay too much causing a lot of pain. I kept trying to communicate but couldn't get through, at one point the lady sweetly said "no English". Some how I held my breadth and got through it! I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for a proper muscle relaxing and therapeutic massage. The next day I had to take ibuprofen and apply topical analgesic to help with the pain. Positives- same day pretty much walk in appointment and they did give me a small bottle of water :) read more

I came here many times before covid. And revisit for foot massage again becuase my routine massager on vacation. I've tried all the foot massage places nearby. JF Foot Bath always my preferred place. The lady done my foot massage seems not giving any pressures and lack of techniques. I received very different experiences as used to be I am hesitated to come back again. read more

I did a 60 mins foot massage and it was good. The rooms are clean and masseuse was good.

I got new shoes and they had been killing my feet so I stopped by to try this place out. I got the 1 hour half body half foot massage and it was one of the best massages I've ever had. Cindy was able to not only make my foot stop hurting but she also fixed a crick in my neck that I had just kind of learned to live with. The massage was a unique combination of deep tissue and Thai massage techniques which were all perfect. I'm a bigger guy whose back is always very tense and I left that place feeling light as a feather and like I was walking on air. Absolutely the best massage in the peninsula hands down and I will be back probably next week. read more

I'm so sorry to do this but I'm baffled by this experience. I couldn't get out of here sooner. We called ahead to ask for an hour foot massage. When we arrived, the woman at the front confirmed that we had called and then insisted on the full body massage instead. She called over another woman and let her know we didn't want the full body. The other woman made the most disgusted face, saw us watching her and then hid behind a wall to continue the conversation. She then came out of hiding to also insist on the full body massage. We discussed this for a good 5 min and we kept saying no thank you, we'd like the foot massage. They finally let it go and they took us in to the massage room. The chairs were so uncomfortable, my neck and back started aching just from lying there. The massage itself was by far the worst I've ever experienced. It was more poking and slapping my foot around. They were chatting throughout the entire massage and one woman was audibly yawning the whole time. I've had many massages and some of them pretty bad experiences but I will never forget this one. read more

Gotta be my goto place whenever I'm in town, I regularly get foot messages here every week. This place has helped my plantar fasciitis issue. And keep it under control. read more

Achy from sitting all day, I checked a few Yelp reviews, and settled on this spot, Uber-close and reasonable. I've visited more than my fair share of SoCal foot massage joints, so reviews with admonishments like, "they don't speak a lot of English" or "they were talking during the massage" don't scare me off. Just gives me a chance to showcase my limited Mandarin... and in the case of JF, my 7 words I know in Cantonese. Anyway, I called for an appointment, and arrived (a block away... thanks, First-Day Uber driver) a little early. When I walked in, the whole group was enjoying dinner and I felt badly... but they were very sweet, talked me into a 1/2 feet 1/2 body combo ($40), and set me up in a room. Within a minute or two, I was soaking my dogs in hot water in a bag in a bucket, and getting droopy eyed. The lady gloved-up, and--unlike other spots where they start with that bizarre but not unpleasant head and neck scratchy approach, she went right to work on my size 14s. Pressure can always be stronger for me (yes, please hurt me), but she started lighter and got more pressure as it went on. A reflexology-inspired pressure points move on several spots was a nice touch. Literally, I guess. After a half-hour, she told me to move to a different room for the body massage half of the hour. I got cozy on the table under a blanket and she dug into the knots from my neck and shoulders to my lower back. No chit-chat, no questions, no pressure check. All fine for me, actually, and while I still walked out after just a half hour with knots, I felt a lot better. And that's what this is all about. Got the cupped-hands beat down to signal the end of the massage is coming (you know, that bongo drum move?), and she said all finished, and left the room quickly. I paid and tipped an extra Andy, dropped a little Canto to their collective delight, and Ubered back to my room. While it was about $20 more than my usual head to toe Foot Clinic place, it was enjoyable and relaxing. Not the best ever for me, but definitely not the worst. Worth your time and $30 to go get foot massage here. Millbrae is 400 miles from home, otherwise I'd check this place out again. read more

we called yesterday to schedule an appointment for 2 people. about an hour before our appointment we get a call saying they can no longer accommodate our appointment because they didn't have enough people working. i understand that call outs happen but i would have appreciated a notice earlier than the hour before. very unprofessional and lacking in consideration for the customers time read more

It's my first time going out for a massage since Covid. The store is very clean and masters wear masks the whole time. I heard they did new paintings and decoration. I had a very relaxing massage . read more

Julie is very professional and listen well to what I need. One hour massage can get all the tight muscle loosen up. No pressure on tips.

someone on nextdoor mentioned the h*ndjob review and thought I'd share my experience. I received a terrible massage from this place. the environment felt clean enough and they were able to see me immediately which was nice. the woman was friendly. I grew uncomfortable as she complimented me a lot, was talking about me physically and was being inappropriately vocal and felt like she was trying to flirt honestly. then she asked me if I wanted the massage on my private area and offered the happy ending. funny cause my girlfriend was outside and is the one who gifted me money for the massage. i was put off by this and told my gf right away. the massage was not memorable and i won't return to this business read more

I appreciate this business had the flexibility to accommodate same-day appointment request. Though, they were not able to tell me how long of the appointment that they would be able to accommodate over the phone but kept on saying "you come to see". Upon arrival, one of the masseurs tried to explained how I should get combination massage that included body and foot massage but it was not successful. I was glad that I didn't sign up for it. My masseur was nice but because of her technique, I would not likely be one of her returned customer. She didn't hit the "points" most of the time. The massage was more like a massage that usually comes with a pedicure in a nail salon. read more

Really good service and professional treatment! After massage couple times here, I feel better on my back, waist and thigh! Will continue to choose here for my massage! Thank you. read more

I went here over the weekend and it was great! I got an hour massage with Peter. The process was easy. I walked in, was greeted, and told it would be a little bit of a wait as they only had three people working. I didn't make an appointment. I sat for a few minutes while they finished up. I had a nice private room. Peter made sure I was comfortable throughout. This place is great. Given a bottle of water at the end too. Thank you, I was way over due! read more

Amazing customer service, management is great. Julie really does a great job of being super friendly and kind. Massages are some of the best I've had in a while, definitely best in the area. I was struggling, but felt great in the end. Would definitely recommend. read more

JF Foot Bath re-opened under new management since 2021. I have been going to JF Foot Bath for a few years (on and off) and I will say the new management is great! The place has been renovated and is super clean. The new decor has a fresh look and uplifting energy. They added hot stone to their massage, so make sure to request. Since under new management, I go almost every 2 weeks! Julie, the manager and also the massage therapist is wonderful! She's super friendly and well skilled in shiatsu and deep pressure massage. Of course you can tell them if you need lighter pressure, but I assure you the deep pressure will get your deep knots out. Highly recommend taking a hot shower or hot bath after your massage to get the knots out. They also give you hot towels and hot stones during your massage. Ask for Julie or who she would recommend. It's still COVID, so they stay masked. Some etiquette and understanding to support the local business: 1) They welcome walk ins. 2) Call to make an appointment. If you can't make it, call to cancel, so they can open up the time for other customers. 3) Because they re-opened during COVID, they are still staffing up and training new staff, so give some grace. But generally, they are available so call or walk in! It's so hard to find reasonably priced and skilled massage therapists in the Bay Area. I've been to other spas including the Ritz and often find the $$$ does not reflect the quality and value. Check them out and support local business!! read more

Absolute garbage. Someone told me to check this place out. Bad idea. Why? - The staff talk to each other the whole time and they're not subtle about it. - One staff member was watching something on her computer in the waiting area. Yeah, I clearly head it the whole time. - My masseuse, if you want to call her that, was terrible. No pressure. No technique. Avoid at all cost. There's a reason their services are cheap - it sucks. read more

It's been a long time since I came for a full body massage. I'm a woman, and it's usually a masseuse who massages me. Today, the boss introduced a male masseuse, who is very professional and good, because I've been under a lot of work pressure recently, and my neck, lumbar, buttocks, legs, and muscles are sore. This masseuse is really professional and good. I did it for an hour, and the whole sore spot disappeared. I added another half an hour of foot massage, which was very relaxing. I will definitely ask him for a massage next time. His name is Peter. It turns out that he has been a masseuse for many years! I especially give him 5 stars today! thank you very much! read more

I had a female masseuse, she also seemed to be the one manning the front desk and phones. She was excellent, so strong and attentive to problem areas. The prices are great here too, I can't wait to come back! read more

Need a foot massage? Back/shoulder massage? Never mind those fancy spas, and you can kiss Massage Envy goodbye as far as I'm concerned. For any massage needs, all you need to do is to contact Sam at J.F. Foot Bath in Millbrae. He's only a few minutes from the 101 Millbrae Avenue offramp. This ain't just regular massage. Sam definitely has a knowledge of reflexology, acupressure, and Chinese herbology, combined with an uncanny ability to figure out exactly where to apply pressure where it's needed. The last time we went, my wife was suffering terribly with shooting pains through her head, neck, shoulders, and upper back. By the time Sam did his thing, she felt about 70% better, and was able to sleep the night largely pain-free. Then it was my turn. I was just looking for a light treatment for a slight pain in my lower back, but I had no idea how tense my neck and shoulders were. He could tell though, and gave me a thorough kneading exactly where it was needed. The price was very reasonable as well. I have also gone there for foot massages--those can't be beat either. The ambiance here is a bit cheesy, and they keep playing the same mood music every time you come here, but you can get a top-quality bit of bodywork here that will leave you feeling much better than when you came in--guaranteed. I can't recommend Sam and J. F. Foot Bath more highly. read more

More than a foot bath/reflexology place - this place offers therapeutic massages focused on alleviating problems. So far, I've only encountered Philip instead of the owner that other yelpers have reviewed. I've tried the foot massage and body massages. For the foot massage, Philip was good about explaining to me what he was doing and with what part of the body it corresponded. For the back massage, he was good about identifying knots in my back and working them out. He also showed me stretching exercises to help alleviate the stiffness in my shoulders. Rates are pretty reasonable, and they use the full time. Reflexology is $30 for 30 min, $45 for 60 min. All other treatments came out to be about $30 for 30 min and $60 for 60 min. Additional discounts if a package is purchased. Exercise patience when booking an appointment since you're likely to talk to someone who can be a little hard to understand. read more

I sleep in a weird position. SHUT UP. No, seriously, I sleep in a kind of Mighty Mouse here-I-come-to-save-the-day position. Which means my neck is all fudged up like 80% of the time. Anyways, I was working in Burlingame and experiencing some neck pain so I went on Yelp and found J F Foot Bath. Sam is really well versed when it comes to diagnosing chronic pain problems. I won't lie and say the massage is pleasant, but you definitely walk out feeling better than you went in. Some tips: If you can't handle pain, this probably isn't the best place for you. Drink lots of water. read more

I agree with the post below saying this is a very light pressure massage place! It felt like I was just getting touched, not massaged. Also, there were workers talking extremely loudly in Cantonese during the entirety of my massage, which was pretty unpleasant and not de-stressing at all. read more

This is by far the best massage you can get for the price. It's not your spa experience, nor time to relax as you will have clients chit chatting with your masseuse. This place is your go to if you want a DEEP pressure point massage. They are truly experience with releasing tension by hitting your pressure points. I get a massage at least twice a month so I prefer the massage to be painful at the time and feel great the next few days. May and Winnie are the best for the DEEP pressure point massages. Everyone else is good too when I want a relaxing massage! read more

I always see this place when I go home and decided to book an appointment to relieve some major upper back and shoulder soreness. I got a 60 minute full body massage for $50 plus a $10 tip and it was worth every penny. My appointment was for 6:15pm, but I got there 20 mins early and they put me in a room right away. Laid facedown on the massage table, clothes off except for my undies, and was covered by a blanket. The room was heated so the table was nice and toasty! My masseuse came in (didn't catch her name) and got started right away. She really got into my neck, shoulders and back, and as painful as it got, it felt so good and relieving! The massage was a mixture of over the sheet, hands to skin, and then with oils. I left extremely happy, loose, relaxed and thought that I'd definitely come back. I removed one star because the rooms aren't very quiet and you can hear everything that happens from the toilet flushing, to the people checking in, to the lady in the room next to me moaning with no shame "mmmm, ohhhh, yessss right there!" LMFAO! I've been to these Asian massage places before so my expectations for the noise were low. Will be back!!!! read more

REMINDER: Yelp map shows you to the wrong side of Hillcrest Blvd. It shows this place to be north of El Camino, while it's actually on the south. When you're at El Camino X Hillcrest, turn to the apparently brighter half of Hillcrest. Love this place! I had a shoulder/neck session with May today. I couldn't even twist my neck in the morning, but by the time the session ended I felt soooo revived! Immediately purchased a buy-4-get-1-free package afterwards. Can't wait to go back with my friend! read more

I love JF foot bath! As a millbrae newbie with perpetually tired feet (#retaillife), I was searching for a non-sketchy, local spa to tend to my dogs. Luckily I found the JF crew. 30$ for an hour foot massage in a peaceful, tidy environ. I've been hooked ever since I first stopped in. The masseuses are pleasant and mindful. They usually offer a body massage in addition and sometimes I take them up on it. Basically, you can't go wrong so check them out and get your life. Yass. read more

Wow this place is fantastic! My usual spot was booked so decided to give this place a try, it did not disappoint. Julie was amazing, it was like she could read my body. I will be back, regularly!! read more

I come here for stress relief and fatigue. May is very professional on the pressure points. Every time I come here I do one and half hours cause I don't want to leave. I would tell her where I need more work and when I leave there. Omg, I'm a whole new person. Thank you May for everything. Yan is also good if you want strong massage. But I just need the points in my body loosen so May gets all the knots. I use to go somewhere else. Now I only come here. read more

Made an appointment for 1 hour full body couples massage. When we arrived the lady with short hair says the massage table is too high for her in the couples room so had to separate us. I went in room 4 and boyfriend went in room 1. He got the male masseuse and I got the short hair lady masseuse. I liked that there was a heated blanket on me during the massage. The lady found my knots and kept working at them but the pressure was not strong enough, even though I told her to use more pressure. Throughout the massage the telephone kept ringing and my masseuse would stop and answer the phone. When the front door bells chimed, she would also stop and go greet customers. That was annoying. The lady masseuse in room 3 kept talking to my masseuse through the rooms! Massage technique wasn't there. Hour went up and time ended. Did not feel better than when I came in. Met up with boyfriend at the front desk and he was scrunching his face, as was I. Paid $95 for the couples session, short hair lady said she'd give me $5 discount. Gave each masseuse $10 tip, way too generous of me. They didn't deserve that much. I was telling him my face hurts and he said his too. The male masseuse who worked on him didn't use pressure. Boyfriend said it felt like he was being tickled, not a massage but a body rub. The guy masseuse is more skilled in foot massages because when he got to the foot part, he used a lot of pressure. We both agreed that the massage tables in the rooms where your face goes (like a toilet seat) are uncomfortable! It's not cushioned enough. All it had was a rough towel and a piece of paper towel on it. That's why our face hurts! Boyfriend and I both agreed that it was a "never again place". If you like light pressure massages, this is the place for you! read more

I regret going to this place. They are not professional at all. I went this morning for a 1 hour foot massage. The ladies working there were talking and talking. No music in the background. I have to put my earbuds to try to relax. Plus the older guy that I got was horrible. He was giving a massage with no pressure at all. I got so desperate after 15 minutes. I got up and left and use an excuse that need it to leave. But the truth was the service was horrible. Plus they charge me $20 for 15 minutes. Be aware !! read more
