I stumbled in here trying to get a last minute massage as I was passing through Chinatown. At 4:30pm on a Friday it was pretty open. I got their 40 minute foot massage & body massage combo for $40. I enjoyed the foot massage where it put me to sleep. I think I could've done without the body massage. But for the last minute availability and low cost I think I'll be back. read more

The message was great! But the customer service isn't so much so. There were two ladies who did ask if what service we wanted. We asked for foot massage for us both .. they stood a few feet away and spoke in a different language for two minutes.. after saying we don't understand and we're standing right here; they finally told us one at a time ($20 / 30min massage) - my guess is only two workers and a client was already being worked on. We picked me since my partner has a scheduled massage at "the now" this week. The lady who worked on my feet was fast to get it started and a little light on the verbal cues to tell me "sit here"/ "feet up" / "sit back" .. etc - but what she did do, was lift my feet up, put them in bucket , dry them off and prop them up & push my head back onto the pillow She put the right amount of the pressure on my feet , full 30 minutes, very relaxing (even though I'm in the lobby getting my massage & someone came in to ask if they were busy) .. she was thorough and the towels were clean. I will be going back soon read more

Merry Spa - Still closed! - Massage Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had the worst experience at the spa ever. I've gotten many many massages and today I really needed to work on my body because I've been working out a lot. So I went in for a 90 minute deep tissue massage and got punched in the feet instead of more pressure when I asked for more pressure. Although I was unhappy with my massage experience I was still willing to give my therapist a tip. All I asked for was a receipt for proof of purchase for my taxes. Unfortunately my therapist did not understand what I meant even though I attempted using Google translate to explain I needed a receipt and they said there was nothing they can do about it. I left disappointed but then realized I could just use my credit card or debit card and that way I will have a credit card receipt. So I asked the lady to give me my $100 back so that I can use my card instead. After I was charged on my card we realized we forgot to add the tip. So I asked them to give me my hundred dollars back and I can go get change and with the change give them a tip. They didn't have change and tried to take the hundred dollars away from me. Luckily I was able to get my hundred dollars back and I would have went to get change to give a tip but after being yelled at and then the masseuse continued to pull my bag to try to take the money from me I will not be returning back to this spa. read more

I've actually been here a couple of times and never wrote a review; however, the last time I came here, the experience was quite terrible to the point that I don't think I would come back considering there are other massage parlors for similar prices. I came for the $20 foot massage that comes with 40 minute foot and 20 minute body massage. I normally come alone, so I'm usually the only one in the room; however, this last time I came with my fiancee so we were in the room together. The masseuses were extremely unprofessional and talked to each other for part of the massage. In addition, they started charging time for when they led us into our rooms even though it took a good 5-10 minutes before they had set everything up. As for the quality of the massage, I'm normally okay with it here (obviously not the best), and usually I fall asleep during it as well (I consider that to be good). However, this time, the foot massage was the most terrible one I've ever had. She spent most of the time purely rubbing my skin instead of actually kneading like you're supposed to in a foot massage. Then, she also massaged my foot with her knuckles, which I understand if you're trying to put some strength behind it for the bottom of the feet, but why in the world would you do that to the top of the foot where not only is it uncomfortable, but it hurts in a bad way. Overall, since this time was an exception to most of my experiences, I didn't give the place 1 star. But knowing they're willing to hire such terrible masseuses, I will never be coming back. On the other hand, they were never that good to begin with and my review for them probably would have been a 3. read more

The best ever massage experience ever Definitely recommend. I got KC and he was amazing. Definitely coming back. Best price best in town. read more

I'm writing this today after a night of complete shock. I cannot believe what I experienced here and am debating reporting it to the police. I hate to call this sexual harrassment but after discussing with many of my peers, that is exactly what it is. First of all, I had asked for the $25 dollar foot massage which is 30 minutes body, 30 minutes feet. He did my body the entire house. I was lead into this room that had a little smell to it, but I didn't say anything. I was instructed to lay face down on towels that felt dirty. He proceeded to massage me. After a while, the dude took off my shorts and massaged my ass cheeks. I let it go on for a little thinking it wouldn't go past that, but that was my mistake. He literally pulled down my shorts and proceeded to straddle me. I told him to please stop but he did not speak English. I would assume he knew what stop meant. THE WORST PART, when I turned over, THE LIGHTS WERE FUCKING ON! I've never been so traumatized in my life! How are the lights on?! It's a private room, but I felt so disgusted. I was traumatized but I wasn't going to let them get away with it. I called my brother's friend to translate to the boss, with the guy who massaged me standing right there. He denied everything. I am told I should report this to the police. I cannot imagine how many people have gone through this experience. The worst part is that they probably have been getting away with it. I paid out of courtesy because the lady at the front was nice. But I really should not have. read more

My friend and I went in to get the $20 foot massage. My masseuse didn't soak my feet with hot water. My friend said his masseuse soaked his feet in hot water. The description on the wall said 40 minutes would be spent massaging the feet and 20 on the body. I don't think think even 20 minutes were spent on the feet. I didn't like that the masseuse massaged my feet first before massaging my face. She should have at least washed her hands before touching my face. read more

Today the masseur rubbed my arm so hard that the skin slit open and bled rather alarmingly. He didn't offer to return any of the tip which I gave in advance. I wouldn't have taken it but the gesture is always nice. The owner didn't offer to comp the massage either. She didn't even apologize. read more

I was running errands and have time to kill. Also with a knot on my shoulders so I found this place and gave it a chance. The foot massage was good, but when he was massaging my shoulders, that felt really good. Took my knots away. Not the cleanest looking by far but the service was great! I definitely am coming back when I am near this area. read more

This place is a real deal! Coming from the East Coast, where $45 an hour massages is really a scam, and they somehow charge you $60 (which is still even considered cheap), I thought $20 was way too good to be true and they would upcharge as well. Boy, was I wrong. They couldn't speak English, and I just pointed at the $20 one where they massage feet for 40 mins, and full body for 20 mins. I honestly felt it was the other way around, and the whole thing was a full body massage. I got a greaeattt massage, my masseuse applied just the right amount of pressure, which was hard, but not painful. After the massage was finished, and it did seem like a full hour, my bill came, and I was ecstatic to see it was just $20. I tipped my masseuse 50%, and she seemed really happy, it was well deserved! If this place was in DC, i would get a massage every week, no joke. read more

I have been to many massage spas and by far this is the best place! They know where to massage deeply and lightly. I love how staffs are very careful with handling your body. I got the 70 min foot & body massage and it was great ($35)! My body feels much lighter and more relaxed. One thing about this place -- there was no english speaking staff when i was there. But i didnt have any problem getting the right service. Overall experience, two thumbs up! I highly recommend this place. read more

I came here with 2 other friends last month. This place just opened not too long ago, the owner is a very cool guy and he massaged me. I had to say 3 of us were very satisfied with the experience in here. They are all very good masseurs! I will definitely come back again! read more

I checked out all the reviews for this place before coming here and I honestly didn't know what to expect. Overall it was a great experience with only one concern which I'll get into later. In the heart of Chinatown, it's a small cozy place. The decor when you first walk in is nice. To the right you see two mini beds right in front of their glass wall towards the entrance. This kind of scared me at first as I thought they were going to do the massage in front of the hundreds of people walking by. Fortunately, once they come to greet you, they escort you through a narrow hall with rooms on either side after you point to what you want from their menu. Now that's what I'm talking about. I asked for the $20 first just to try it though I was tempted to do their second option. I figured I could always come back another time and get a longer body session if I liked it. (Which I will definitely do). A tiny girl came out and brought a basket of water with solution to soak your feet in while she starts on your neck and shoulders. I was surprised at the amount of pressure she utilized. She applied a good amount of pressure. Next, you lay on your back feet still soaking and she works on the head, face, and sinus pressure points again with great pressure. She also did more work on the neck and shoulders as well as the arms and hands. On to the feet... I never had a foot massage so I wasn't sure what to expect. The stretch to begin felt really good. There were 2 things she did which were quite painful and it wasn't one of those hurt so good but I know it was beneficial and not damaging so I relaxed as much as possible and focused on my breathing. When she was done with my feet I thought we were done but she asked me to lay face down. A good amount of time had already passed so I was taken aback but hey, I won't argue lol. She was working them knots... Magic. Loved it except for one thing... The thing that takes away from a perfect 5 stars... So I've been to a Chiropractor several times and there are these spots where the chiro will touch and it will feel like a weird tender, sore, bruised feeling, something we don't feel very often and hard to explain. Well, I felt that while she was putting forearm pressure on the bottom part of my back over my spine. Now, I'm no expert but from what I understand, when you give or receive a massage, we need to stay off the spine directly and only putting pressure on the muscles on either side of it. She definitely went gun-ho on my spine and it was a concern. Other than that, I had a wonderful experience and I'll be back for sure. I tipped my masseuse 100%. I spent a total of $43 if you include tip and parking. As I was walking toward this place there was another massage place that offered $39/hr which of course doesn't include tip or parking so I'd say... Definitely worth it! read more

This place it's a place that I will never go back again. The place just so dark and funny. The style it's just like old time Asian massage place, but they don't do massage there. Anyways, if the massage it good, I don't care the environment. We went in with 4 people. My experience was bad, I feel he is just rubbing my feet. I had to tell him can u you do it harder. I mean really rubbing it. The when he massage my head I can smell the cigarette on the finger. I really wanna walk out, but wasn't just me. So I finish the process. Later I asked the other 3, they all said not good. I though I was just not to lucky. Got some freshman. One of the worse place I said. read more

Horrible experience. I went there to relax instead i was agitated, frustrated and irritated. It was so loud. The employees talk LOUD. They dont even bother to whisper. I was put in a room where there's another room access in it. They had put a guy in there while i was already getting a massage. They were unbelievably rude. They would walk past me (its a small room) and talk loudly. While the guy was getting a massage, he would have a legit conversation w the woman massaging him. It was so irritating that i almost wanted to get up and leave but i didnt cause i hoped it was just for that moment. But nooooo the whole hour i was there, they would go back and forth! He finished before me but they kept walking in and out of my room! LOUDLY! WHAT A WASTE OF MY MONEY!!! I dont even wanna give a star but i have to click one. Oh and it smelled like piss. read more

Very nice location and have free parking very nice service, and very reasonable prices. Specialize in foot massage but great full body too. read more

Came here for my first massage. I didn't know what to expect at all. I was skeptical about the $20 but we tried it out anyways after dim sum(: We ended up getting $35 worth which is about 40 minute body and 20 minute foot massage. My back didn't really get a lot of work on. I just felt like it was more rubbing. He knew I was tensed because I workout a lot so my whole body needed to be more relaxed before he could really get to work. I enjoyed getting my arms , head and feet massaged. I tried to tell him to do a deep tissue massage for my ankles but he didn't understand which sucks. Overall it was okay for my first time. I just wished there was more massaging rather than rubbing. read more

While taking my wife out to lunch in Chinatown I ran across this little Massage place. When I saw the prices they charged I just couldn't resist and the wife and I both went in for the treatment. Let me tell you, it was the best money I"ve ever spent. They don't speak much if any english, but they work their butts off to give you a heck of a massage. They don't charge much at all either. I honestly do not know how they can stay in business with the low prices. Any and overtime I got to Chinatown I will be getting another massage. I only wish I lived closer to Chinatown so I could do this every week. read more

Affordable and pretty good can't complain. I will be returning. As soon as I got there I was greeted and took into a room I paid for the 30 minute foot massage and 30 minute body massage was only $25 and it was amazing. read more

Nothing fancy, non boogie-ness. Wouldn't have walked in if it wasn't for yelp-- the massage was worth every Penny I paid (and it's so affordable!) Highly recommend Cho Lee. she press so good! 30 foot 30 body for $25 +please remember to tip read more

Horrible odor with no ventilation. I was taken to a back room with seems like it was a converted storage closet. The masseuse spoke no English and barely used any lotion which was quite painful. I was expecting a deep tissue but it felt more like a swedish, I kept asking her to dig a little deeper but I do not think she understood. Will not be coming back her read more

If I could, I would rate this place 10 stars! I am a pretty built guy who has tolerance for pain. I don't usually do massages because I always leave disappointed. Came in here with a hangover and thought that maybe I'd give it a shot. Do not be fooled by the way this place looks. I don't know if I just got lucky with my Masseuse or not. But his name is "JC" if you like STRONG massages. Gave him a decent amount of a tip, but I wish I gave him more. Next time around I'll bring more cash, that way I know it goes directly to him. I decided that I'll be back every time I visit LA. Got a massage in China town in LA, and it was the best! read more

The massage was decent but the place is a little.... I was stuck in a little room within a little room which did remind of the twilight zone. But the Massage was good and I re-emerged into the real world. I guess what can you expect in China town? read more

Great full body massages and will definitely relax you and get he kinks out. Be comfortable with a lot of rub downs and rub ups, but it's all worth it. Just breathe and relax, the knots will slowly disappear. It's worth every penny...I've been here multiple times now and not sure anywhere else beats it at this price. read more

I really hated how they ask me to tip when I've already tipped the ladies in the room. If i give them $100 bill they always try to keep the change. I also hate when they try to leave for 20 mins in the middle of the message because they think I'm asleep... read more

This was literally THE WORST place I have ever gotten a massage from! If I could give it no stars I would! I'm not sure if the masseuse was new or didn't have her massage license at all, I'm gonna go with the later. They could barely tell me through their broken English to keep on my clothes in the full body massage, I should've known right then and there to downgrade and just get the $25 but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Not only did she do the same 4 motions the whole massage, but I had to tell her through the whole massage she was hurting me. I felt ripped off, was not happy with the massage or customer service. Someone needs to go in that massage parlor and check all their licenses!! You will regret spending your money here read more

this place is great. massage was great and very affordable. Only complaint I have is they don't speak English very well. but I recommend anyone to go to this place read more

My first time. KC was awesome. I was in so much pain and by the end of the hour I felt like I was healed by 90 percent. He really felt what was wrong and fixed it. Thank you so much. Looking forward to my next massage and for 25 bucks you seriously cannot beat that price. read more

This place is fantastic! First time here and I'm am pretty impressed... $45 for 90min for a really intense and quite unique massage. This guy AJ knew all the right spots and took the time to focus on an injury I had. His technique is different, I loved the facial and scalp massage and the foot soak was new for me... My only complaint is that it was too noisy being so close to the front door and I think he left for a min to take a call. I'm assuming he's the owner and is probably the only one whom speaks a little English so I forgive him for that. Overall I thought the massage was great and worth an $10 tip... I will be coming back again! read more

Great service and the price is unbeatable at $25 an hour!! Went with my lady and Steven put her to sleep like a baby LOL!! (Night Night!!) YoYo put in work on me with her strong hands and my body is happy on cloud 9!! I will be going back for sure!! read more

This place definitely deserves more reviews. This place isn't fancy and there is a language barrier, but come on guys, you're getting a massage where most of the time you're relaxed in a darker room with your eyes closed. The rooms are clean and the beds have the face hole so you can breath when faced down. These people are great at doing massage that target your pressure zones which is what I love because that's what relieves your stress and pain. The prices are incredibly low. Will definitely come back. No regrets read more

You get what you pay for. The place is a little run down etc but it is in the heart of Chinatown after all. For 25 bucks I got what I needed. I spoke a little Chinese so that helped but the receptionist at the front speaks English as well. I specifically asked for a masseuse and she did a lovely job. I would definitely return again! read more

My dad and I are foot massage connoisseurs, so we decided to try this place on recommendation. Overall, the $20 foot massage (20 minutes body, 20 minutes foot massage) was excellent for the money. Each massage therapist applied firm pressure, and the technique for the foot and body massage was good. The only reason I didn't get this place five stars is I had to ask the therapists to stop chatting during the treatment. They got kind loud, so it started to ruin the relaxation part. However, the guy who massaged me apologized profusely, and they both stopped. Overall, an excellent deal and the place was clean. read more
