    They never answer the phone or return messages so I'm pretty sure they are not open for business.

    Ok, as for language barriers- typically I do not have issues with my masseuses because I can speak…read moreChinese. This is no exception. This is still one of the cheapest places for reflexology in the area. They do have cash pricing so use that. I just get the 30 minute foot/30 minute body, which is in a communal massage area. It's ok for me. I'm not complaining since this is usually how reflexology places work and you're fully clothed. I usually have good experiences here. Usually I have a male massage me, and they tend to be super heavy handed, just the way I like it. There was a massage I got once that I felt was on the really light side on the foot part, but once we got to my hips and glutes, definitely didn't know I had some tightness there. As for tipping, I haven't really experienced issues myself, but I did hear them kinda judge on tips when the customer was gone in Chinese. Mainly asking how much she got and said the number. I would say it's better than getting a pedicure, so I much rather spend $55 on a foot massage (cash price in June 2026) than a pedicure.

    First time here, I was taken to a large shared room with 10+ beds, just be aware this isn't a…read moreprivate setting. The lighting and music were nice, but a ticking clock next to me made it hard to relax. During the service, multiple staff rotated in and out, I had three different people massaging me. The massage felt too rough and overall chaotic rather than calming. I was asked to pay before the service, and when I tipped 15% at the end, the therapist seemed disappointed. Everyone was very nice, but the experience was not relaxing and left me disappointed.

    My wife went to this spa and came back very happy!…read more It saves me the trouble of doing finding time to do it myself The results are very good, relaxed wife is a relaxed life

    Let me start off by saying... I just realized some of the pictures uploaded by the business a month…read moreago must be AI because that is NOT what the actual establishment looks like LOL, shame on me for not noticing prior. I literally decided to give this place a call because of those pictures so now I feel tricked lol. However, my husband and I were on a time crunch because we had to get back home to our babies but wanted to really have a self care day which also happened to be on a holiday. With that said, there weren't many options that were open and or available for the time we needed. We called and were easily scheduled for an appointment with our requests of both female masseuses for a 2 hour couple massage. I've had bad experiences at Asian spots where the men always smelled like cigarettes so I try to avoid it when I can. I got a lil PTSD when we pulled in to the parking lot too because that's all I smelled. Keep in mind the parking lot for this business is fairly small so you may have to find street parking. Another thing that made me apprehensive was the bathroom. It was giving run down, there was no toilet paper holder and the paper towel dispenser was either out of batter or broken? So I honestly wasn't expecting much of the rooms. My husband loved his massage by Grace and I had Kelly. First thought, OKAY with the heated beds! I've ever been to an Asian spot with the heated beds and it was definitely a nice touch! They also had a cute lil electric fire place in the room. As for the massage... Initially, I thought she wasn't going to be applying enough pressure. I came in with so much upper back pain I also kept thinking she wasn't hitting the right spots. Because we had a 2 hour appointment (for the first time) the max we usually get is MAYBE 90 mins; I felt like there was a point where she was kind of BSing the massage. It felt more like she was kind of stroking/petting my back lol. But when she went IN I was pleasantly surprised. She hit a lot of pressure points I didn't even know I had/needed and she didn't just go 0-100 she really took her time to apply pressure so my body had time to respond. I've been to many deep massages that feel ok during the appointment but then make me feel so sore or bruised after. I appreciate how both ladies asked if we were comfortable throughout the massage and when I mentioned I felt like I needed more on 1 side than the other she addressed it. I will say though, I don't remember her ever really touching my shoulders. I'm not sure if that is because my husband circled my upper and lower back as a focus? Regardless, I left relaxed and happy that I left with less pain than I came in with. Can't wait to come back for another! I also plan on gifting a massage to my mom & sis since it's their birthday month!

Based on those reviews, I carefully selected the masseuse I thought would work best for my shoulder tension and knots. Unfortunately, I did not get the person I originally booked, and no one informed me of the change beforehand. The same thing happened to my friend as well. Additionally, during the check-in process, the front desk never gave me a card or questionnaire to fill out regarding the focus areas for my massage. Since this was both my friend's and my first experience here, I expected better communication and a more thorough process. Instead, the experience left me disappointed and a bit shaken. Another awkward part of the experience was the checkout process. At the end of the session, they wait for you at the front desk expecting a tip. Of course I planned to tip, but the pressure and expectation made the experience uncomfortable. One especially odd part of the Signature Massage was that the masseuse inserted her fingers into both of my ear canals without warning. I was completely caught off guard and really disliked that part of the service.

I have seen him and his father for approximately 6-7 years. I have acute muscular issues. I had my left shoulder rotator cuff repaired, and my right shoulder fully replaced with metal and plastic. Jason never stops. He addresses all the DEEP issues, until he releases the true muscle issues on every point in my body. He often is huffing and puffing as he releases MY issues. He gets a true work out working on me. My wife enjoys his fathers knowledge on addressing her issues professionally.

The style is shiatsu, which is done fully clothed and uses firm, intentional pressure and stretching rather than the oil and long strokes you'd get in a Swedish massage. It's a different experience, and for me, much more effective. I leave feeling like my whole body has been reset. It's not just relaxing--it actually works out tension in a way that lasts. If you're looking for something that goes deeper than just a soothing experience, I can't recommend this enough. I hope they stay here forever!

I initially tried to book for 3PM on the same Sunday, but I guess someone else beat me to it cause that slot wasn't available anymore. I ended up getting a 5PM appointment It was fairly easy to book online, and I appreciated text message confirmations about my appointment as well. Small entrance, and not one of those luxury spots. Don't expect anything other than a solid massage. Checked in, waited a bit, and got assigned to a room. Removed clothing other than underwear and put on their traditional top and shorts and lie face down on the table. Print was my masseuse and she was amazing. Great pressure, and she explained some stuff to me which I appreciated. There were spots that were really tight that I had no idea, She worked my right shoulder/neck so hard as well as my glutes as those were some of my tightest spots. I sweat so much during this massage - perhaps more than an hour long workout! Parts of the massage was super painful, but that was a good thing. Release of muscle tension, loosened up some knots, and more. A mix of dry, oil/lotion, hot towels, etc. Love the stepping part as well. Def not a massage for everyone, but it was great to me. There is also a water dispenser for hot and cold water, and there were disposable cups and some tea bags. The massage rooms were connected by doors and such, so it doesn't feel as private, but I had no issues with that. If I can justify spending so much on a massage, I'd be going at least every week. I can't do that, but I do plan to come back here at some point.

Then the front CSR arrives with the most unfriendly non greeting ,frowning face and demeanor i have ever seen, possibly just a bad day? (should go home or stay in the back) . I initiated conversation by asking if tai masseuse Nicole was in? She proceeded to tell me that only women work as masseuses. I said Nicole was a ladies name last i checked , my wife and I was treated here before and could not remember my masseuses name but i thought it was Nicole, She did not try to help me and continues to not assist in helping me figure it out. Almost scared and very hesitant , i asked her , who is here? And found out Niki was working and was the person i was looking for. I am a guy who likes the full experience and feel their is Great value in the front end CSR position, more than some people know and i feel from my experience today that the CSR working today did not put her best foot forward In assisting me and making me feel welcome. :-( or good about giving up my hard earned money to this business. ON the other hand NIKI helped tremendously and turned the day around. The best techniques ,professional, and allows me to feel comfortable enough to let my body relax and let her do magic with my muscles , tendons and limbs. Thank you Niki for making a lasting impression after my bad first impression. 5 STARS FOR YOU NIKI. THANK YOU
