Had a Swedish massage this afternoon with Patricia. It has been about a year since I had my last massage at Mon Siam. Patricia was very thorough. She worked on all my pain areas (calves, lower back, shoulders) as well as the rest of my body. She used nice long strokes with firm pressure and was receptive to feedback from me on whether to press harder or lighter. I left feeling relaxed and well-taken care of. Mon Siam is a treasure tucked away on the Alameda. There are restaurants and a couple shops close by, like Recycle Books and New/Found Vintage Market. I enjoy spending time in that area. read more

Truly one of the best massages I've ever had! I'm a nurse who suffers from extremely stiff muscles and misaligned ankles that leads to bodily strain. Out of all the states and countries I've received massages at, this was the most relaxing by far. The team is sweet and professional, and Pam is especially skilled at targeting those tense spots. I did the Thai aroma as an intro to Thai massage (I typically do Swedish or deep tissue, and this is like a hybrid between traditional Thai and deep tissue). This was a welcome change in the type of massages I will be receiving. Will definitely be back! read more

Been coming for a while and always quality! If you want stronger massage... Joy is very good

Arthur worked on my sciatica and it feels so much better! I also have had a problem with my left shoulder and he also worked on that and for the first time in months I can lift it above my head! Everyone here was professional and very kind. The place was clean and had a very calming atmosphere. Definitely worth it!!! Thank you so much Arthur! read more

Traditional Thai massage with Pam. Released my frozen shoulder and lower back by the end. Highly recommend.

Bee is amazing. She gets every spot intuitively. Her session flows continuously and she definitely is a master of bodywork. I have also experienced joy who is excellent as well. read more

Let me begin with parking. Occasionally, you can park right in front, but when that's not an option, there's a parking lot next to the Billy DeFrank LGBT Community Center, a block down the street. It's about a minute's walk. The overall ambiance is Thai-inspired, and the tea you get at the end is delicious. They accept NFC/Apple Pay, but there's a small fee. You can tip directly, put the tip in a small envelope when you pay, or add it to the total. Mon Siam has been my go-to massage place for quite some time now, and I've never had a bad massage. However, I must discuss my last three massages. Leonardo Da Vinci, Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, and my masseuse, Nari, all share a common trait: they're brilliant. Nari, in particular, has a deep understanding of anatomy, drawing parallels to Leonardo Da Vinci. At 58, I've had massages at other places that were either okay or good, but Nari is an artist with her hands, feet, forearms, and elbows. She has a surgical precision that finds knots I didn't even know I had. After a massage with Nari, I'm so relaxed that I once walked out without putting on my shoes! I absolutely love this place and couldn't recommend it or Nari more highly. read more

I've been coming here for the last 3 years and I've had Nadia massage me. She has the perfect pressure and is so attuned to my responses to the pressure and adjusts to my needs. Also, the staff are all so sweet and accommodating. They also have warm tea waiting for you after the massage which just is the perfect touch read more

I haven't been to Mon Siam Thai Massage in nearly 6 years. I previously wrote about the experience being fine but not extraordinary. That being said, Mon Siam Thai Massage totally redeemed itself during my most recent visit. I was desperately in need for reflexology. I took a dance class and was feeling the DOMS 2 days later. The DOMS was so bad that I could hardly walk, and gentle stretching felt intensely painful. I Googled for reflexology spots in the area, and Mon Siam Thai Massage popped up in my search. Rather than take a chance on a new place, I decided to give Mon Siam Thai Massage another chance. I booked a 60-minute session and was able to get an appointment right when they opened. I was expecting the massage to be like a Chinese reflexology massage where they soak your feet in a bucket of hot water. It was nothing like that, and I'm glad! I laid on the massage table the entire time, and Beam, my masseuse, did a fantastic job with my legs and feet. She applied the medium pressure that I was looking for, and she really worked on my tight feet and calves. I also did indicate that I wanted my arms and head/shoulder massaged too. They weren't necessarily my focus, but I appreciated that she spent a good 20 minutes on these parts of my body. Overall, the reflexology was exactly what I wanted. I left the session with more mobility in my legs. I will definitely be back for this massage again! read more

I went in for my first Thai massage and scheduled a 60-minute one. Omg, I should have scheduled a 90-minute one. Make sure you read the signs because the spaces directly in front are only 30 minutes. They are on The Almeda, but I had no problem finding a 2-hour The ambiance is very quaint and soothing. There is a shoe rack at the door, where you leave your shoes and slide into huge slides. When you enter the room, you are given a pair of super-sized pants to slip into. My appointment was with Janney and she is a MASTER at her craft! , read more

I love Joy's deep tissue massages. She is very strong and solid so her stretches are deep, especially on hips and legs. Her pressure is great because she uses elbows, feet, and knees in addition to hands. Because I have seen her many times for 10+ years she has learned what works for me. Her packages are a steal and my husband and I use them up over a few months. Please keep groans to a quiet minimum, the walls are heavy drapes and sound travels. read more

Due to my annoyance with the way Mon Siam was approaching cancellations and rescheduling (which I will say they have improved upon), I tried to find another massage place, but no other place can compare. The quality of the massages is the best that I have experienced, though I will say that they don't always get out all my knots in a 55-minute session, but the 85-minute session will do the trick. I really appreciate their intake form to understand my preferences before each massage as well as the tea they provide afterward. Plus, everyone here is super nice. My mom and I love coming here. Many thanks to Joy, Beam, and Janney for facilitating much needed relaxation in our lives! I have referred several people here who have all also enjoyed their experiences and will continue to do so. read more

First time coming to Mon Siam Thai massage and for sure won't be my last. I work out typically 3 to 4 times a week and work a 9-5 so it can take a toll on your body. Luckily was able to find this spot on Yelp and fortunate that they had an opening at 7pm for a 90 minute massage. Being a former massage therapist I can get critical about how different therapists work but Pam made me feel at ease and did a great job. When I arrived the front lady was nice and let me know there was goin be a bit of a wait and instructed me to pin point the areas I needed work on. When I went into the massage room the decor was nice and clean. Pam came in and instructed on what to do and after looking at my chart she said we're on everywhere you pointed out. Her pressure is really good not over baring strong and she had some great stretch techniques. I must of fallen asleep twice since she was doing a great job. I definitely am going to be coming back and requesting her forsure . Thank you so much Pam I feel rejuvenated! read more

It was our first time at Mon Siam. My husband and I needed a good massage. We are so happy that we booked our massages. Nat and Pam were awesome. They took their time and got out all our knots. Don't be hesitant about trying Mon Siam. It will be your best decision ever. read more

Honestly one of the best Thai massages I've had! My gf and I were looking to find a similar massage style we had in Thailand (where they really fix all your knots and don't go easy on you). Pam and Patricia have been awesome, so good that we ended up getting a package! Everyone that works here is super nice too, great vibes all around. 10/10 but definitely more than a 10, highly highly recommend read more

First time here for Mother's Day. Very pleasantly surprised! My therapist was Pam, and she really focus on the places I asked for. I will definitely be returning again. read more

Good massage, price, and last minute availability. Thank you. Also clean. ..............................

I've been going to this Thai Massage place for over a year now and it's my go to. They are clean, quiet and tentative with their services! I always leave feeling so great. And the prices are very reasonable. I typically go for either the Thai massage or aromatics massage! If you have never gotten a Thai massage, it's definitely different than your typical. They will eventually put you in restorative yoga positions to get deeper with some adjustments. It caught me off guard at first but oh boy....it does wonders for sure! I always have to mentally prepare if it's I want that day though. Sometimes I'll just do a regular Swedish massage. Tips: make an appointment at least a couple of hours beforehand. Days if you want a particular masseuse. There is parking lot a block away which is remember parking at! read more

Worst place ever. Unprofessional people and doesn't know how to communicate. I do it recommend this place at all. They don't do good massage and the lady sitting at the front is so rude read more

Thank you so much Jenny (Jaynee?) for the most amazing massage. Not only is this place clean and cozy but the masseuses here do a really excellent authentic Thai massage. Thai aroma is my go-to and the deep tissue literally put me to sleep for 14 hrs when I got home. Best way to unwind. They even serve a cozy tea after your massage. Will definitely be back read more

Was able to get a same day appointment, Nari was my massage therapist and she was absolutely incredible. Truly felt like my body was fixed after that massage. Very nice and traditional space. Attached a picture of prices and lounge. read more

The massage is fine but not the service. Hence, I won't be visiting the place again. The front desk lady gave stamp after the couple massage since I asked and she wasn't pleased. The stamp had our names and expiry dates in it. We have been a regular visitor without even getting these stamps. When I checked with a friend of ours, her stamp didn't have her name or an expiry date. My friend mentioned that she got the stamp without even asking for it. There is a clear discrimination towards customers based on appearance or unknown criteria. read more

I just came back from two back to back weekends of Coachella so my body is wrecked. I thought the best way to recover would be an intense traditional Thai massage and I'm glad Mon Siam came to the rescue. After reading Yelp reviews and browsing their booking system, I decided to book with Janney. Process is simple: book online, they give you a call two hours out as a reminder, show up, and get started. You're asked to fill out a form and specify what areas you want worked on more than others, strength level, length of time, and some general personal info. From there, I was walked into a room, undressed, put on those big thai pants provided, and awaited my massage. It lasted the full 60 minutes and I left feeling very relaxed. Thai massages are no joke -- if you ask for strong, you'll get what you ask for. My body was walked on, contorted, stretched out, and twisted in every direction possible. If your pain tolerance is high, I'd definitely go for Strong. You'll leave feeling great. Prices are a bit high for me to return regularly, but affordable enough to consider coming back every now and then. It's also right next to my regular haircut place so it's very convenient. $80 for a 60 min traditional Thai massage at the time of this review, another $3 for credit card charges. Bring cash, tip cash. read more

I just had an amazing aromatherapy massage with Patricia she was absolutely awesome. My friend and my boyfriend came to see her and recommended her and I would recommend her to everyone. I will definitely be coming back. Very welcoming receptionist when you walk in it's very clean. read more

Had a great Thai massage with Patricia! She was very detailed and attentive. The pressure was perfect, and I felt so much better afterward. Highly recommend! read more

I had alexa. Right when you walk in it's quiet. It's perfect too. They give you a form and it tells you to circle where they want you to concentrate most of the massage. I had the Swedish and Alexa was phenomenal! The massage table was large with a great big face piece! Not one of those small tables! After massage they give you a cup of tea and the whole experience was great!! Polite, clean, and definitely will be going back! read more

My husband and I got the Thai aroma massage. It was amazing. The best massage I've had in a long while. The ladies walking on our back was incredible. They got every kink and every knot out. Will absolutely be back. read more

I got a traditional Thai massage here and it was great! Came in with neck/shoulder pain probably from working out. Nadia took care of those knots! Nadia gave me some great stretches for my legs and back! Only minor problem was the next door and upstairs was pretty noisy. Other than that awesome spot and nice staff! read more

I've gone here 3x and each time gets better and better. Went last night and by far best massage ever, I let them know I was sore from the gym and was recommended a specific massage and it did the job. Walked in slow and sore, walked out feeling great and able to move and stretch without soreness pain. Appreciate the skill work. read more

What an experience! I had never had a Thai massage before and had no clue what I was getting into. I decided to get a massage at the last minute and googled a nearby location. It was super easy to book an appointment online. Upon check-in I was given a chart to point out areas I needed work on and choose the intensity of the massage. Because I chose the Aroma Thai Massage which includes some Swedish deep tissue massage they also have you choose a scented oil. They do have you strip down and give you some loose light cotton pants to put on. This may be because I did the combo massage. My therapist Susie was 5 star amazing! She walked on me, stretched me and pulled me in directions I didn't even know my body could go! She was very professional and always checking in to make sure the intensity was good for me. After the massage is over you go back to the reception and they give you a cup of tea and an envelope to slip a cash tip in for the therapist. The only reason I did not give this place 5 stars was because they need to spruce up the decor a little but the massage was deserving of 5 stars. read more

Before the COVID19 shutdown, I stopped in with one of my girlfriends because we were in need of a really good massage. We both opted for the Traditional Thai Massage off their menu of services. Try to arrive about 15 minutes prior to your appointment as you will need to complete a questionnaire noting your problem areas and declaring your health status. Also, it will give you enough time to settle in and change into the slippers and loose clothing they provide you. My massage was so relaxing that I kept falling asleep -- the only reason why I would wake up was to the parts of the massage that included stretching. I love Thai massages. It is such a craft to be able to manipulate the body to various positions by using stretching techniques that helps the body remember whatever flexibility it once had. This place is not very expensive and the owner of the parlor has wonderful hospitality. Looking forward to returning once we are all sent back into the wild! read more

Was my first time here and I had Sophia as my masseuse. She's petite but pressure is firm and to the right spots! My shoulders and neck and lower back have been so tight and sore and especially in cold days everything is very tense. I feel much better now after all the stretching. Thank you Sophia! read more

Mon Siam Thai Massage - After massage tea - Massage Near Me - San Jose, California

After my visit to Mon Siam Thai Massage for a prenatal massage, I left with a profound sense of disappointment and extreme physical discomfort that lasted almost one week. Despite the claims on their website promising improved circulation, reduced stress, and tension relief, my experience was quite the opposite. Far from promoting inner peace and calm, the massage exacerbated my discomfort, which worsened overnight. At 25 weeks pregnant and of a petite frame, I have had only three positive massage experiences, as many inexperienced masseuses have mistaken my bones for knots, leading to painful sessions. Unfortunately, my prenatal massage at Mon Siam fell into this same pattern. I was seeking relief from upper back and shoulder pain, as well as some lower back discomfort caused by the additional weight of my pregnancy. After reading the positive reviews and noting the proximity to my home, I decided to schedule an appointment, selecting Jan, a therapist who was described as experienced with prenatal clients. Upon arrival, I was greeted with a smile from the receptionist who handed me a clipboard containing a questionnaire. I filled it out noting my specific areas of discomfort--primarily my trapezius area and lumbar spine, with a request for minor leg work to improve circulation. I also requested medium pressure, anticipating that this would provide a balance between comfort and relief. However, from the very start of the massage, it was clear that my requests were not being considered. Using quick and rough movements, Jan applied deep pressure almost immediately, mistaking my bones for knots and dragging her knuckles and elbows along my spine and all over my bones. Rather than focusing on muscle relief, she applied undue pressure to sensitive areas, including my neck. I politely asked her to reduce the pressure and go "soft", which she did briefly, only to revert back to the same intensity shortly afterward. Throughout the session, I found myself tensing up, twitching, and breathing heavily in response to the pain. However, I refrained from asking her to adjust the pressure again, dissuaded by a sign in the lobby that instructed clients not to "tell them how to do their jobs," accompanied by a graphic of two stick figures with one hitting the other. To add to my concerns, I questioned whether the oils being used were safe for pregnancy. There was no mention of whether the products were non-toxic or formulated for prenatal care. Given the importance of ensuring that the oils used during prenatal treatments are free of harmful chemicals, I was left uneasy, unsure if the products were suitable for pregnant clients like myself. Upon leaving the massage, I felt sore and bruised, and the discomfort only intensified as the evening progressed. Simple movements such as walking, lying down and sitting became increasingly painful, disrupting my sleep and overall comfort. In hindsight, it may have been a mistake to seek a prenatal massage from a Thai massage therapist, as they clearly do not specialize in this particular service even though they offer it. During the session, my baby moved more than ever which was unusual, which, in retrospect, might have been his way of signaling that something was wrong. Though Jan seemed kind, unfortunately, the experience left me not only physically in pain but also regretting my decision to entrust my prenatal care to a practice unfit for such specialized needs. As much as I hoped for a great experience as everyone else, I was deeply disappointed and will not be returning to Mon Siam Thai Massage. Prenatal massage cost: $105 with a $5 Yelp check-in discount for first time clients, plus a $25 tip that was prepaid by my partner. read more

Great massage and great service. The ambience was also very good. Felt much looser and relaxed afterward.

Sophia and Nari are my favorite masseuses here. Sophia is superb for authentic Thai massage: get to the points where tricks my body pain and migraines. My body is very tight and need to be released for the circulation. People who know Thai massage should know that no pains, no gains for Thai or Shiatsu massage. Nari is superb in oil massage. She relaxed my body after Sophia releasing most tight spots on my body. I feel relaxing to sleeping during Nari's massaging me. See you both next time!! read more

"I recently visited Mon Siam for a Thai massage and had an excellent experience. The massage was both very good and firm, exactly what I needed to relieve my muscle tension. I have seen both chiropractors and physical therapists for my pain, but nothing seemed to help. Then I remembered my previous visit to Mon Siam, and how much it had helped me before. Once again, the skilled therapist at Mon Siam worked wonders, providing the relief I had been seeking. The ambiance was serene and relaxing, contributing to an overall wonderful experience. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a high-quality Thai massage. read more
