I have visited Bao Zhi Lin Pacific Spa in San Gabriel more than a dozen times. My first visit was…read moreon August 24th, 2025, and my most recent visit was yesterday, May 30th, 2026, Saturday.
I was introduced to this place by my best friend, and since then I have become a regular customer. I have also brought my family here several times because I like this massage shop so much.
The prices are very reasonable, and the massages are excellent. My favorite therapist is Lei. He works very hard and always provides a thorough massage.
I spend long hours working in front of a computer, and I have also been involved in several car accidents in the past, so I constantly deal with shoulder pain and stiffness. Whenever I come here, I can feel the tension in my shoulders loosening up, which is why I keep coming back.
Their Package A includes a foot massage and a full-body massage for one hour. It costs only $30, and I usually leave a $10 tip. Package B includes the same foot massage and full-body massage plus complimentary hot stones. That package costs $40 before tip.
Besides Lei, both Tiger and Sam are excellent massage therapists as well. I usually request Lei every time, but yesterday he was not available during our appointment time, so I received a message from Tiger for the first time. Tiger tends to use stronger pressure, but he did a good job, too. My friend usually requests Tiger, but since I was with Tiger yesterday, my friend was treated by Sam instead. According to my friend, Sam is also an excellent massage therapist.
I later heard that Sam is actually the owner of the spa. During my friend's massage, Sam was answering reservation calls while working, which made the room a little noisy. Normally there is a lady at the front desk who handles appointments. I believe she is Chinese, and she speaks excellent English, as well. Since she had not arrived for work yet, Sam was taking calls himself while giving my friend a massage. That was probably the only downside of our visit.
Other than that, I really appreciate that they have not raised their prices despite the rising cost of everything these days.
I have recommended this spa to my family, my mom's friends, and many members of the Korean singles social group that I organize.
They also offer a loyalty stamp card. You receive one stamp per visit, and after collecting 10 stamps, you can enjoy a complimentary massage.
If you are looking for an affordable and effective massage in the San Gabriel area, I highly recommend giving this place a try.
Cf) They only take cash or zelle payment.
