What a perfectly amazing massage place hidden away in the most busy intersection in Orange! I stumbled upon Massage Circle when I woke up and couldn't move my neck. Being a passenger hurt, walking hurt, even sitting still.... yep you guessed it, hurt. I called when I checked the prices and saw a couple of brief yelp reviews. *Disclaimer: I really can't understand why this place had an array of weirdly bad reviews! They were incredibly accommodating. For example... 1. First I asked for a couples massage at 12:30. Then I had to switch it to a single massage at 2. They were so super sweet about it and didn't hassle me at all. 2. Upon being led into my room, I was told "someone" was going to be right with me. I assumed it would be a woman. ( I've had varying degrees of uncomfortableness and fear with a man masseuse.) I asked for a woman and again, no hint of annoyance nor did I get any black lash! The little asian woman made me feel comfortable and smoothed out the kink in my neck the best she could. Periodically, she would ask if the pressure was okay. I loved it. The rooms, were actual rooms! You are able to faintly hear outside noise but the calming spa music can bring you back. Once, finished I felt so at ease and relaxed, I could feel my eyes groggily wondering why I couldn't just take a nap there. The massage was $35 for an hour & with the yelp check in, you get a free "upgrade". The owner ( I'm assuming) in front even helped me pick out my upgrade, recommending the popular one. For $45 ( $10 tip ) I can say that this place is worth it. Now, I even have a stamp card from this place & let's just say, I plan on achieving the redemption coupon quite quickly. read more

Massage was ok. I've had better for 70.00. Weird part is they charged after the massage. I was not used to that.

So after my last experience, the owner reached out to me & showed her true care for her customers & business.. which I very much appreciate! I gave them another chance, of course asked for another masseuse different from the last & it was amazing. I left very relaxed! I also brought my friend with me this time & she also said she had a great experience. read more

I think pricing is fair and they make you very comfortable throughout the whole massage. I feel like a new person every time I come out. I go pretty often now and enjoy how easy it is to do a same day appointment read more

Great rates, great service. Our go-to place for massages! We always get the couples 90 min massage with hot stone, and we're always so relaxed afterwards. They listen to your needs and make sure you get the massage you want. Oftentimes we fall asleep on the tables, and then fall right asleep again at home lol. Highly recommend! read more

Wendy is absolutely insane! She really knows her stuff. Her deep tissue techniques always fix my back right up! So very excited my friend told me about this place !:) read more

I have been here several times. I have had a good experience every time. Great massage for a reasonable price.

I went with my daughter for the 60 minute massage and we both felt wonderful afterwards. Vicki did an amazing job for me taking out all my shoulder knots and stretched my entire body out. We will definitely be back for more! read more

Massage was great. Super nice professional people. The rooms are very simple nothing fancy so don't expect too much. But the place is clean which is more important to me than any decor. The quality of the massage was amazinggg, better than more known places like massage envy. Very affordable prices. Highly recommend. Please tip your massage person fairly, they work very hard for what they do. I wish this place well. Definitely coming back. read more

The first time I ever came here- I experienced the BEST massage of my life. 100%. So I made this my go to- ever since then it has been a different person everytime- every massage is getting less and less skilled- and there is zero consistency between therapists. But my last visit.. my absolute last- was the WORST "massage" if I would even call it that- my cat my 6 year old or a back scratcher can do better. This massage was much needed and I just left feeling like I completely wasted my money- I almost stopped the massage 3x to just get out of there but kept trying to give the benefit of the doubt. I should have stuck with my gut. It was 60% elbow to my spine he didn't even TOUCH my lower back- and the hot stone was 3min at best. I always get the same 90 min special and this was just terrible- I wanted to ask for a refund. But of course the therapist comes to the front with u for a tip read more

Best massage in the area. The ladies here know what they're doing. They apply the right amount of pressure on sore areas. Not too hard not too soft. Also the facility is clean and well kept. read more

My neck shoulders and lower back have been hurting for like the last 2 weeks I can't handle it no more I was not able to go to work today I took a nap still hurting so I decided to look for a massage place I found this one on Yelp it had good reviews so I decided to give it a try. I called and a lady was very helpful and she gave me prices location and informed me that it was best to make an appointment so I did I got there like 15 minutes before they were ready for me they walk me to the room. Like a minute later the massager was there he started on me everything was feeling good I was feeling relieved I chose the $25 for 30 minutes for neck shoulder and lower back it was great I cannot complain I was falling asleep lol. I hope that by tomorrow I am like new fingers crossed . The person who was giving me the massage was an older man did not get his name everything was fine he was very respectful. They take debit credit cards if you do use it they will charge you a $2 fee so if you don't want to pay it take cash make an appointment and enjoy. I will be back I give this place a 5 star read more

What's that saying "you get what you pay for" that's the best description I can give this place. The facility is really clean and the staff is nice I just don't know where they learned to massage. I can't speak for all the masseuses there, but the women I had never touched me with anything but her knees and elbows and that was not the massage I was looking for. She walked in asked one question "do you want it hard"? Ummm I never heard that term before while getting a massage but because I'm a bigger guy I said yes I could use a little more pressure. Once she jumped on my back with her elbow diggin into my spine...it was at that moment I knew I F@&$ed up. I asked her to take the sheet off my back because it was creating friction that didn't feel good but she didn't listen. Needless to say I left massage circle feeling worse than when I walked in. I give two stars because cause the value is legit...sooooo I'll end this review how I started it. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! read more

I like this place. It's clean, quant, quiet and the prices are average. They do a pretty good job too massage wise. I usually get a full body massage with medium pressure. My bf however said it made it neck hurt last time. read more

Came here on my birthday for a massage as a walk in! Wendy was amazing! One of the best massages I've had in a LONG time! Can't wait to visit again! read more

I had a 60 minute massage and a 30 minute foot reflexology massage. I was in a lot of pain from arthritis but after the massage I felt so much better. The price was amazing. I can't wait to go back. I especially liked that the massage therapist licenses were posted at the front desk. read more

This place is amazing. They open late. There's a $2 extra charge if you pay credit card. $50 for full body massage (not including tip) is a great deal! The masseuses put A LOT of pressure if you need knots taken out - it's almost painful but much needed if you have chronic back issues like myself. The facility itself is very well kept and clean. Very professional staff and the masseuses use great technique with attention to detail. I'll definitely be returning! read more

The massage was really good but the Chinese ladies called me fat. They were talking amongst themselves about me and I heard the word for fat in Mandarin. read more

Actual rating:: 3.5 stars I've been needing a massage after suffering from neck pain for several months. We usually go to another spot for a couples massage but I wanted to check out a new place. Plus we wanted to get a same day appointment. I found Massage Circle via Yelp with a nearly 5-star rating. I called them and they were able to take us within two hours. They are located in a small plaza facing Tustin Ave. The reception area is bright and calming. They even have signs that restrict loud talking or cellphone use. The lady at the front desk was nice and friendly. Here are a few tidbits:: **They open late 7-days a week and walk ins are welcome. **They require payment before your service which is fine since they may not be able to track who's coming and going. Payment via credit card is charged a $2 fee. **They offer a frequent customer stamp card. You'll get a $15 discount after your 10th visit. We had the Combo massage which includes 45-minute body massage and 15-minute foot massage. The massage room is cramp for the couples massage. The massage bed is old and squeaks. It was noisy in our room because they are next door to a dry cleaners. Overall the facility is clean. The male massage therapist was a bit rough and doesn't speak much English. He didn't even ask if the pressure was too strong. The female masseuse was not too bad. Although she did use deep strokes on my neck and made me sore for 3 days. Make sure you speak up or they will assume you want deep tissue versus light to medium strokes. The prices are decent as compared to other spots. We may come back if in need of a quick relaxation session. read more

Consistently good and professional massages at a good price. I've been able to schedule a few times with 1-2 hours' notice.

Updated - Returned to give it another try and had a very good experience. I am really impressed with the responsiveness of management. Following my review of my initial experience about a month ago, the manager reached out to me, apologized for the inconsistency and explained the therapist my husband saw was new. The manager urged us to give them another try. Drawn in by the value, great customer service and convenient location and scheduling, we decided to give it another shot. We were really happy with our second visit. We had 2 of the $35 combo massages. We asked for really strong massage and both of our therapists were great and met our expectations. The location is pretty nice and clean and peaceful. It seems like individual rooms and rooms for 2 are both available. If you are in a room for 2, they will offer to pull a separating curtain. The massage beds could use a little upgrading. I thought my face towel smelled sweaty both times. Overall, this place is a very good, clean and convenient massage place. The massage and price is similar to good reflexology massage places in Little Saigon, but with a better atmosphere and customer service. read more

My wife and myself spend a lot of time getting massages at various places. We found this place and went to it because of the other good reviews on yelp. We got two masseuses named Carol and Angel. They are the best masseuses we've had ever. The hour massage wasn't long enough for us. The place is very calming and clean. They have a warm oil that feels very nice especially on the colder days. The receptionist is very kind and helpful. The $80 for the couple massage is worth every cent. They also have a massage circle special that is 80 minutes for $45 and plan to try that one next time we come here. read more

I've had great experiences every time I come here. Staff is professional and thus far, I haven't had any issues making appointments. After every massage, I'm usually offered some water :) read more

I enjoy getting a massage here and prefer the man to do it just because he applies more pressure than the women and he also gives a better foot massage. recommend wearing at least short shorts if you decide to because they do tuck in the sheet into them to massage your butt read more

This place has been a great experience! I travel and drive a lot so I deal with a lot of tension in my neck and back and Lisa along with Michelle have been amazing! Im also very active and play a lot of basketball so the deep tissue massage leaves me feeling good and able to continue to play ball and stay active. read more

Called in for a couple massage. The receptionist was very straight forward and helpful. I had no issues making the appointment. Walking into the appointment, the receptionist was very welcoming and kind, as well as other staff members we saw briefly. We chose the "60 Minute Full Body Massage" for $40/person. *This massage does not include a foot massage* We were brought back to the couples room and were told to undress to our undergarments (Ladies, no bra if you want the oil treatment). Our male and female masseuse overall was firm/strong and made us feel like new after our 1hr experience. read more

This place is great for the price. It is very clean and conveniently located. The masseuse was very professional and thorough. Recommend the hour deep tissue massage. read more

This is the best massage place near our hotel, it's just 10 mins from Via Cortez... Here's the full menu of what they have to offer. They were able to accept 5 people in one go... 2 in one room, 2 in another room, and one by themselves. The $25 one is the best deal they have. They knew what they were doing, it was fantastic!! When I travel back here to Los Angeles, I'll definitely visit again with my other family... They knew what to work on, they asked what pressure we wanted, Most of us wanted medium, light, and hard!! Muahahahaha!! They even gave us the stamp cards and stamped 5 of the circles. The service is really stellar and excellent... read more

Reasonable price! $40/hr! Located near the Carl's Jr. off of Katella! Small rooms but good experience overall. Would recommend stating where you're hurting so you can tell them where to focus read more

Massage released all my tension! Got myself and a friend a 1 hour massage. I had been moving boxes all week and this full body massage released all the tension in my lower back and neck. Would definitely recommend read more

I love this place! Dropped by on a Friday night with a friend and we were helped immediately. We had David and another guy with an American name, and we were greatly impressed. They both managed to get all the knots out of our neck and shoulders. I fully recommend! read more

The worst massage I've ever had in my life. I requested a two hour deep, strong massage ahead of time. I basically had some lady rub lotion on me and squeeze my skin for 2 hours. No muscles or knots were worked. She was putting pressure on my bones instead of muscles. Definitely didn't know what she was doing or even understand the muscular system and how they work. I'm pissed. Such a waste of a day off. Every time I tried to ask the girl to focus on a spot or use more tension. She just kept squeezing my skin. Why offer a few a tissue massage if they person doesn't even understand what that means. I would've done better with a tennis and a wall. Don't waste ur time and money read more

Have went here at least four times in the last year. All you gotta do is tell them what you want an they listen... always walk out feeling refreshed... read more

Love this place! I come here about 2 times a month. Prices are reasonable, friendly customer service, and you can check in for hot stones! I do recommend calling ahead since it can get busy sometimes! read more

Absolutely love this place for so many reasons. Fantastic massages, friendly staff are always smiling, and very competitive pricing. Massage Circle is very clean and smells so nice in there all of the time. Love this place, love the staff, I'll never go anywhere else. Highly recommended trust me Ive been there at least 30 times. read more

So wish I could this place 10! Was just there today & they never fail me. My masseuse was amazing. He knew exactly where my pain was. Worked on key areas. Hadn't been since the pandemic shut everyone down. Just love this place. Everyone is nice & professional! read more

This was the most amazing foot and leg massage at a price that was unbeatable. I had the 60 minute foot and leg massage with added herbal foot bath and foot scrub. My massage therapist was strong and used the perfect deep pressure I requested. The only negative thing I can say is I wish I had gotten a 2 hour session because I was sad when it was over. I have been all over at different foot massage places and this is by far the best experience I've ever had! The massage room was clean, quiet, and smelled amazing. The woman worked out knots in my neck, back, and legs that I didn't even know were bothering me that much. My feet and legs are so soft and relaxed right now I'm in heaven. I highly recommend this place and will definitely go back again and again! read more

One of the worst massages I have ever received. I was severely disappointed As I had two girls work on me, both completely did now know what they were doing. There was no real strategy, as one of the girls literally was massaging me in a repeated circle motion. In fact it was causing more friction heat that anything close to an enjoyable moment. Just heated circles, and circles on the same body part, followed by the occasional elbow/forearm move. The only thing she got right was the pressure which I asked for. Sadly it left me wanting another massage from another place. Severely disappointed as this was my 3rd visit. The first two were above par. But I don't think I can come back as the masseurs really don't know what they're doing - did I mention she massages my bones thinking they were muscles. read more

Worse massage of my life! I wanted a relaxing massage I left the place with body aches and was sore for a whole week. I kept telling the masseuse I wanted less pressure bc it was hurting. At one point she got on top of the table and put pressure on my shoulder and back! Never ever returning ever again. read more

Hands down the best deep tissue massage I've ever had. My back has been hurting for months and finally decided to check out this place down the street from my place. Best decision ever! Mia was amazing and will be only going to her. 5 stars read more
