I decided to try this place since it's so close to my house. Fantastic! They have a special for $25 foot massage for an hour. It is really a full body massage (half foot/half full body). The interior is very clean with comfy beds and they have the lights dimmed. They start off soaking your feet in a bucket of tea while they work on your shoulders. The therapist occasionally asked if the pressure was ok. I'm petite and the pressure wasn't painful at all. After working the shoulders, she reclined the chair and covered me with a towel for warmth. My feet were still soaking in the tea. Then she began working on my arms. I almost fell asleep at that point. After my foot massage, I thought it was over. Oh no. You flip over and get a wonderful back massage from head to toe. They will use their elbow to press by the curve of your shoulder blades. That was probably the only painful pressure, but once they let go you will feel so good. I recommend wearing yoga pants or leggings and a flexible shirt in a spandex material so it's easy for their arms to glide over you. This is definitely a great deal for $25!! I was really loose and refreshed afterwards. read more

I've had a lot of Asian-style massages, but this is by far THE BEST place I've ever been to. Their prices are ridiculously good considering how well they do. Staff is very friendly, respectful, and always maintains my modesty during the session. I've been going to them for years, and it's amazing how much they've upgraded their equipment and services. I remember being able to just walk in and get a massage immediately, but now booking an appointment ahead of time is a must. Glad they're getting the business they deserve though. Note: most employees are male and do not speak much English. But they're all very friendly and accommodating. Overall HIGHLY recommend at least trying them out read more

Outstanding reflexology place! Might be the best place I've ever been to for reflexology, actually! $25 for basically all-over massage for an hour - that is pretty standard. However the quality of the massage as this place beats the inconsistency of those at other establishments such as the ones right on the water in the Kirkland Marina area. read more

My friend and I came here to get some foot and body massages and left absolutely dazed. We actually only came to Joy Spa because the other place we went to at first didn't have any open spaces. (Our fault, I suppose reservations are important.) However, we called Joy Spa and they told us they would be able to fit us in so we were instantly shown to the beds. We opted to get the foot and body massage and it was an experience to lie down on the chairs and see stoic Asian men in matching uniforms. I like these type of massages because the men do not hold back on how strong they massage you. (I also like not having to strip..) The massage was strong! Very, very strong that I had bruises on my shoulder. But that's what I needed, especially since I had a painful knot on my left shoulder that the therapist worked on constantly. He never asked me any questions but I felt like I could tell him any time if I wanted him to ease on the power. (My friend's therapist did ask if it was too strong or not so maybe it depends on the person.) Overall, great experience, I love the open space. I would definitely go back when I'm in the Kirkland area again. read more

Ok, after living here all these years, how did I miss this gem?!! This place is awesome! Clean and simple! No frills, all serious massage business. The owner Sara(h) is a delightful person. The masseuse don't speak fluent English, but they have a simple and clear menu, you can point to the service of choice and off you go! This is a cash-only place and the prices are unbelievable. That said, please tip well, they heavily rely on that. I got the # 1. The masseuse asked about pressure. After that she did a phenomenal job on my sore muscles that had been lugging my children. Remember to remove your watch, and jewelry. And remember to wear flow-y pants so that you can easily roll it up to your knees. Because if you get the #1, 2, or 3, you'll keep your clothes on, but roll your pants up. I cant wait to go back! I highly recommend this place. They've just earned a loyal customer! read more

Always leave here feeling like a new person. It's a meditation and massage all wrapped into one for me. Superb, accommodating staff. Everybody is great and May is exceptional. I'll be back many more times. read more

Place is okay, nothing very special. I came there on a Friday around 5pm and the place was very busy. The lady that was doing my massage must have been the owner because she kept on checking everyone in, talking while doing my massage. She did not concentrate much on my massage. The beds are very close together also, which feels like there is definitely no privacy. Also, the lighting seemed a little too bright, not very relaxing. I guess you do get what you pay for, but there are better places out there for the same price. read more

This is my second time coming to Joy Spa and it definitely won't be my last! The ambiance is quiet and relaxing. The staff are very polite and accommodating. The foot massage is amazing. I usually have half an hour foot massage and the other half hour focused on my back, neck, and shoulders. Best of both worlds if you ask me. I like the deep pressure that is applied, and the staff always check in to make sure you're doing okay. Truly great service for the price. read more

The massage experience was very similar to the ones I regularly get in the Philippines. It chose the all over body massage for 60 minutes and had a very positive experience. The workers greet you with a smile and are very punctual. They give you the full hour experience for half the price of spa workers! I will never be going back to a spa massage anymore when I get a better experience here! My only constructive criticism is that I wish they tried harder to tone down noise and conversation. read more

I used to love this place and give them amazing tips but they've changed the price and now it's way too expensive. I can get a better price in my regular chiropractic. Not a deal anymore. read more

Joy Spa - Massage Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Perhaps there was a language barrier the last time I came in here...I don't know...either way, I gave Joy Spa another shot and have to update my review. I've been here quite a few times since the location is close to my home and also stays open later than most places on the east side. Full body acupressure has been much needed from weeks of working construction on the side....and this place truly delivers. I went ahead and booked a massage table in one of the private rooms. I have paid nearly twice as much for similar experiences elsewhere....the Chinese girl who gave me a massage was one of the most well trained I've ever had. She knew how to go deep without forcing, and started with a lot of myofascial stretches. I'll definitely be back. read more

Based on the great Yelp reviews and the fact that I had just ended a crummy week and had a wallet that was a bit on the light side - I decided to try Joy Spa. I feel like I found the greatest deal in the city. Now that may have been the post massage high, the fact that I could actually now turn my head, or stand up straight, or that my feet were suddenly friends with me again. Whatever the reason - I am a new devoted customer! For $25 plus tip I got a 1 hour massage. I asked for the foot massage, but while my feet were soaking, she worked on my neck, and then laid me back in the chair to work on my arms and hands. Then maybe 20 or 30 minutes on my feet and legs. Rolled onto my stomach and she worked on my neck, back and shoulders. All fully clothed - so I would suggest yoga pants or similar. Drink lots of water after to flush the lactic acid, but seriously - this is a great deal and unlike Humpty-Dumpty, I actually felt put back together again! read more

Good place! Polite workers, and very clearly hard working. Love the atmosphere, very relaxing. Wish he would have worked on my back a little more, less on my arms, legs, butt...because that isn't what I paid for. I used to see a massage therapist, and she worked on me hard, but it still felt really good. They just kind of rub really hard. Probably won't replace actual massage therapy, but is perfect price, great location. read more

Terrible! They have been steadily going downhill! Started coming from 2012! My last visit will be today! Not clean at all! Reusing towels for other patrons! Also it is intentionally dark as you will not be able to see how dirty the bed sheets are! They also keep switching between patrons! Really bad! A 1 hour slot and he probably massaged me for only around 40 minutes! Better and cheaper places available all around the area! Will no longer be coming here! Avoid!! read more

Love this place. Great massage, great people. I had a 90 mins deep tissue, feel so relaxed afterward. Make sure you bring cash, as of now they don't take cards. read more

Came here after a long weekend in Vegas to a well-deserved foot massage. Called ahead to make an appointment and was seated right away. We got the #2 which includes a 30-minute foot massage and 30-minute back massage (which was more like a full body massage) for $35. DEALS! The shop is clean and quaint and the music puts you at peace. So much peace you might even fall asleep. My only complaint is that the massage wasn't longer, but I'll definitely be back! read more

This place is awesome! Best value in town, total casual and relaxing. Been over 20 times. read more

Love this place . Awesome. Massages ask for lee or ken . Very reasonably priced 30$ for full body 60 min . read more

This place had everything I wanted. Booking an appointment was super easy- I had an instant response when messaging through the Yelp app for an appointment about two hours later. I went for the deep tissue massage and oh boy, my male masseuse delivered. It's been an hour or two since it ended and my muscles are so relaxed. The ambiance was also perfect, quiet water noises and a relaxing acoustic, instrumental soundtrack had me close to sleep, despite simultaneously experiencing the knots in my muscles being forced out. All of this for an amazing price, I feel like I got a deal even though I didn't have any coupons. 5/5, I'll definitely be back. read more

This place is my new favorite. Price is right and service great. I'll be making it a part of my monthly routine. If you like to relax, go here. Best hour spent today. read more

Terrible back pain...Joy Spa is a MIRACLE!!! I had a full body deep tissue massage for 1 hour. Only $50! I came in without a budget because I was so desperate. Totally prepared to pay twice that for a 60min massage. I came on a Tuesday night around 8pm and was the only customer. At first I was thinking that was a bad thing, but actually it was wonderfully quiet. Great place to come an forget my busy life. I will be a regular there for sure! read more

I went a few months ago, and I really enjoyed my visit. It's a very relaxing, comfortable place, with comfy chairs, and the staff is very kind and attentive. I chose the 30 min foot / 30 min back massage, and I LOVED it. You absolutely can't beat the price, the location is fabulous for me, and I only had to wait about 10 minutes to get in on a weekday night. I'm looking forward to going back again very soon! read more

i am so disappointed i had the worst experience i have ever gotten a whore house could have been better than this he did terrible he felt like he hasn't slept in days like if you don't know how to massage then why would you be massaging me if I wanted to get rubbed and not massaged then I woikd have paid for that but NO my 2 year old grandson could have done better let me be honest and then when i was telling the receptionist how terrible it was she started laughing and if i was paying all of that money and she found it funny there was nothing funny about it i am never coming here again read more

My husband and I came in because my mother in law gave us a gift cert. We were pleasantly surprised and can't wait to go back. We got a number two which was a back massage and a foot massage. It was extremely professional and extremely comfortable. It was very clean and well cared for which only added to the experience! read more

I get reflexology foot massages quite often but decided to try Joy Spa for a change. First of all, they were all very friendly and professional. The lady that answered the phone was so nice, and even remembered the phone conversation with my mom from that morning. The therapists were in matching shirts, clean(sometimes places like this they smell bad), and respectful. The inside had a great relaxing ambiance and smelled better than most Asian spa's as well. Our massage was about $5 more than I'm used to paying but it was thorough and felt great. I will definitely be back and recommend you try this place out. read more

This is my fave place to go when I have a day off from work. I've been going here for years. Consistently good experience. I wish I didn't live so far away, but it's worth the effort to get there. read more

Great for your money. $25 can go a very long way here. You get a foot soak, massage and a whole body massage. The only down side is it's a public massage. If someone talks then you hear everything and can disrupt your relaxation. It was a great experience nonetheless. read more

This place is simply the best. Clean. Efficient. Walk ins. Open room full of beds. $30ish for 45min Foot soak followed by a foot massage and clothed body massage. Different types of massage available. Cheaper if you pay by cash. read more

I called and was able to get a appointment for right away which was nice. Location was clean and quiet. I was greeted by a nice woman. Very friendly. I got the #2. The foot massage portion was great. Good pressure. I was less impressed with the back massage portion, but would certainly come back for another foot massage. read more

Bruh... this guy just jabbed his elbow into my back for 60mins. Purple and black required more text blah blah blah blah

Joy spa, hmmm Not a bad massage lady , it was clean and the massage therapist was kind and professional. I would consider going there for another massage. read more

Great bang for the buck! I went in with my girlfriend and we chose the #2 (Half hour back, half hour foot). Never felt more rejuvenated in my life! Will definitely be back! read more

I love Joy Spa! Everyone is professional and the place is clean. I have been going there for over 2 years, I try to go at least once a month. I always get the #2 option (30 minutes foot and 30 minutes back). From head to toe, I feel relaxed and my body revived. The only bad thing about going is the fact it is a little sad when my hour is up. The people giving massages there are great! Peter is fairly new, but he is absolutely one of the best. Truly though, I don't think you could go wrong with anyone of the massage people. read more

One of the best foot massages in Kirkland! Excellent price and service, our new favorite place to relax.

So my wife and I came in here last night because she had the biggest knots in her neck/shoulder you could ever imagine. I have never been to one of these spas before just because from the initial look of it from the outside just doesn't seem right to me but as soon as we walked in I felt relaxed. The lights were dimmed, there was a soft water flowing stream noise in the background and it was very clean looking from what I saw. We both got the 1hr foot and back massage for $35....$35 to have someone rub my feet and back for 1hr ummmm yes please!! My expectations weren't super high because $35 for basically a full-body massage just doesn't seem right. He first started off by soaking my feet in warm water and started working on my arms/hands and then he took my feet out of the water and went to town on them. He rubbed my ENTIRE foot that I don't think he missed a single spot. When he was done squeezing/rubbing my toes he flipped me over and started working on my back, there was some pain involved just because he used his elbow around my shoulder blades and middle back areas but for the most part it felt pretty good. Like I said before I wasn't expecting a professional massage for $35 but the service I got I will definitely come back. Price/ambiance = 5 stars Massage = 3.5/4 read more

Love this place they are kind and work out all the kinks in my back and well everywhere . Call ahead to make sure they have time but I have had s 30 min neck & shoulder treatment is amazing if I don't have a lot of time and need a pick me up ! Everyone is great but I think TONI is extra awesome read more

The place is very organized and clean. Everyone there is friendly and welcoming. I had a 60min foot and back massage for $38 in cash before tip (it would be $40 if you pay with a card) with Peter, which is a common price for most of Chinese massage places in the town. I was not particularly impressed by the back massage to be honest (probably because my neck and shoulder pain is too severe to be cured by just a one time massage, but it was relieved for a little bit); however the foot massage is extraordinary. It is probably the best one I have ever had. Definitely gonna recommend it to anyone who is reading this review. read more

Avoid at all cost! Impossible to communicate with them. They don't speak English. They only did 50 minutes instead of 60 as advertised. The manager followed me out and threw change at me!!!! Absolutely not ok!!! read more

Holy cow this place was worth it. I have lived basically across the street from Joy Spa for almost two years and have always been too wary of a $25 hour long massage to try it out. Today, I had my Friday off with just relaxing on my mind so I decided to try it out. I got a shorter lady but holy cow was she strong. It was out in the open so it was not private but it was not an uncomfortable feeling. The music they play is very nice and the massage was extremely relaxing. Also, it was more like a full-body massage with an emphasis on giving a fantastic foot massage. Very professional, very clean, very good and wow it is cheap. I left a great tip and it was still less expensive than going to a regular massage place. read more

4 stars for now since I've only had one massage. Atmosphere: cozy and dark. I'm not sure if the person that posted it was too bright actually went to this salon. Every time I've looked in the place the lights have been dimmed with only a few lamps providing light. Chairs: Extremely comfortable. Way more comfortable than most massage tables I've been on. Massage: Amazing! I chose #2: 30 minute foot massage. 30 minute back. Even though it was a back massage he did a full body (focused on my back). I had huge knots in my shoulder blades and have never experienced relief from any previous massages. This is the first massage where the pain was actually gone after the massage! And, the foot massage was amazing. They soaked my feet, put a cloth over my eyes for relaxation, and provided a blanket. In fact, I think I'm going back here today! read more
