Honestly, this is hands down the best massage in the area. I'm an athlete and need regular bodywork for recovery, which obviously adds up fast. I've seen some people complaining about the price, but let's be real--if you want cheap, just go to the foot massage spots down the street instead of expecting this level of quality. Right now it's only $70/hr, and I heard they are raising it to $80/hr next year, which is honestly still an amazing value. It is way more affordable than other spots I've been to like The Now Pasadena ($160/hr), Zentara Thai Massage in Arcadia ($90/hr), or Muscle Lab ($219/hr). Usually you get what you pay for, but here you get WAY more. The quality is so much better than those expensive places, but it actually stays affordable. Their sports massage and tension relief are top-tier. You just need to make sure you book the right therapist for what your body needs: * Natalie: Highly recommend for athletes and deep tissue recovery. * Jazmin & Sunny: Perfect if you have "office syndrome" from sitting at a desk all day. * Ken: The go-to for a soft, Swedish massage when you just want to pass out and sleep. So glad I finally found this spot! read more

So glad I gave them a second chance! After connecting with the owner, I decided to come back for another visit, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Jazmin was my masseuse this time & she was incredible. Despite how busy the place was, she worked out every bit of tension I had and made the entire session pure bliss. I loved every minute of it and left feeling so refreshed. Recommend! read more

Extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional experience. We booked a massage in a couples room and will never return. We came in at 8:26 and we had to wait until 8:48 for our 8:30 appointment despite finishing the intake form before 8:30. Afterwards we were led to our room. From the start, the therapists entered without introducing themselves or explaining anything. One therapist was male, but nobody asked either me or my girlfriend whether we were comfortable with a male therapist. My massage was terrible--almost no pressure despite asking for more. Communication was basically impossible because they did not understand what I was saying. At one point, while the therapist was walking/stepping on my back, and actually SLIPPED towards my head with the feet on both sides of my head. The therapist apologized but it was too late and I was unable to relax. Then, halfway through the massage, they SWITCHED therapists between me and my girlfriend without asking either of us. The male therapist suddenly began massaging my girlfriend. Neither of us consented to the switch, and nobody asked whether she was comfortable with a male therapist. It got even worse when they told us to flip over without properly communicating or covering us first. My girlfriend literally screamed when she realized the male therapist was massaging her after asking her to turn without fully covering her. She was shocked and extremely uncomfortable. My therapist also had me turn without covering me at all. Because it happened to the both of us, I'm curious if this is their standard operating procedure. I later looked up this address and learned that another massage business previously operated at the same location. After reading about the location's history, it certainly did not make our experience feel any less concerning. After the poor massage, therapist slipping on my back, almost nonexistent communication, switching therapists without asking, and making my girlfriend extremely uncomfortable, they still directly asked us for a tip. There are far better and more professional massage places in Pasadena. Avoid this one. UPDATE after owner response: We were both not aware that our appointment was moved to 845pm. This was not communicated. Lastly, going to the front desk to voice our concerns was not possible as the English speaking receptionist was already off. Their response actually confirms two major parts of my review: the therapists switched clients because I asked for more pressure, and the therapist slipped while stepping on my back. Slipping while stepping on someone's back seems dangerous and speaks to the level of experience. To clarify, I had requested firm pressure from the beginning, yet the male therapist was barely applying any pressure. Asking for the pressure I booked is not consent to switch therapists without telling us, especially when that meant a male therapist suddenly began massaging my girlfriend without asking if she was comfortable. As for draping, I can only state what we actually experienced. We did not feel adequately covered when asked to turn over, and my girlfriend was extremely upset afterwards in the car because she was exposed and I could see from my massage area. Moreover, my experience was that I was not covered at all when asked to turn and my girlfriend was exposed. Their stated "adherence to the law" does not change what happened during our session. Explaining what your normal policies are is not the same as showing that our experience was "factually inaccurate." read more

I recently had an excellent experience at Nirada Thai Spa. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the front desk receptionist with a warm smile. The atmosphere was peaceful, clean, and welcoming, making it easy to relax right away. My massage therapist was friendly and took the time to ask about the areas where I was feeling the most tension. The massage itself was exceptional. My massage therapist adjusted the pressure throughout the session and focused on my shoulders, neck, and lower back, where I had been dealing with some tightness. I opted for a combination massage and it left me feeling noticeably relaxed afterwards. I appreciated the attention to detail and the genuine care they showed throughout the appointment. I've had massages at many different places, and this was one of the better experiences I've had. If you're looking for a clean spa with skilled therapists who personalize the treatment to your needs, I highly recommend Nirada Thai Spa! Will definitely be returning. read more

Nirada Thai Spa - Massage Near Me - Pasadena, California

Great massage in Pasadena! After a long crazy week they were able to accommodate me for a same day appointment on a Saturday. I got the combo massage with hot stones and aroma oil. When checking in I filled out the sheet indicating my shoulders and neck needed the most attention. My masseuse definitely concentrated on those areas and helped a lot. The "rooms" here are just a sheet hung up that divide you from others, which is common, but everything felt really close here. Barely enough room around the bed to move through. I could hear every other room which was a little distracting. My room was #4 which is right in front of the lobby door so there was a lot of traffic in and out which also took a little bit away from the experience. Overall though the massage was good and the prices are reasonable so I would come back here again. This place is a little hard to find tucked away behind the Vietnamese restaurant. Parking lot is also very small I had to find street parking. read more

Under new ownership--and it shows. This place is now run by Thai staff and feels like a truly authentic Thai massage experience. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm, genuine Thai hospitality that instantly sets the tone. The massage itself? Incredible. It honestly felt like the treatments I've had in Thailand. They take the time to listen--you can mark the areas you want them to focus on, and they actually do. My therapist had amazing technique (seriously, magic hands) and worked through my tension so effectively. If you're looking to relieve tightness or stubborn knots, I highly recommend booking with Travis. He knows exactly how to target problem areas and get those kinks out. This is the real deal--definitely worth a visit. read more

I had such a great experience at Nirada Thai Spa! I booked a 60-minute massage and honestly wished I had booked 90 minutes. My therapist really listened when I explained where I was feeling tight and adjusted the pressure perfectly. The place was clean, peaceful, and everyone was very welcoming. I left feeling so much lighter and relaxed. Definitely coming back! read more

I had such a great experience at Nirada Spa! The atmosphere is clean, relaxing, and welcoming. Sunny is amazing with deep tissue massage and really helped relieve my neck and shoulder pain from sitting at my desk all day. Natalie is also incredible, especially with the neck and back. She puts in so much effort and knows exactly where to work out the tension. I always leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and so much better after a long day!! read more

Very unprofessional. Nirada or the lady at the counter called at 6:28pm to cancel our appointments for 7:00pm on the same day. She claimed that the person who spoke with us on the phone did not input our appointment into the system but they are fully booked. I called her out on her lie because if she failed to "input our reservations into the computer" how did I get a confirmation text for the appointment?? Nirada was unapologetic and offered literally no solution or assistance with a potential rescheduling. All she said was sorry we are fully booked and cannot accommodate you. So unprofessional. read more

Nirada Thai Spa - Text confirmation received but our appointment "was never inputted" into their system... - Massage Near Me - Pasadena, California

Poor service and poor quality. I arrived 15 min early for my appointment. I had to wait which is no problem as I was early. I was given my room to wait. Massage therapist came in 17 minutes late yet finished on the hour, so instead of receiving 60 minutes I was given only 43 min of service.... The massage was poor even after specific requests and adjustments she ignored. Do not recommend. read more

If you are looking for a truly restorative experience in Pasadena, this cozy spot is a must-visit. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, immediately making you feel at ease from the moment you walk through the door. Unlike some larger, more clinical spas, this place feels incredibly authentic and dedicated to traditional techniques. They offer a fantastic variety of treatments, but I highly recommend the Thai Combo Massage. I had my session with Ken, who was the consummate professional. He has a great intuition for pressure and technique; his work was both therapeutic and deeply effective at getting out stubborn knots. I left feeling significantly lighter and more relaxed. Definitely will come back again for another session soon! read more

Had an amazing experience here. The workers are friendly, understanding, and had great customer service. Ken was professional and gave a very relaxing massage and I would definitely recommend him. The massage area was quiet, dark, and had nice relaxing water sounds the whole time. Other places I've been too have been a little noisy and not relaxing at all, so I was very happy with the environment. I booked with class pass, but their cash prices look reasonable as well. I am already sure that I'll visit again. Thank you! read more

This place was recently remodel and to say the least they did such an amazing job , the place is really welcoming and the staff was very friendly and caring from the moment I walked in Natalie greeted me and made sure I was okay and guide me trough their services , I felt at home. Jazmin took care of me wonderfully I gotta say i was very impressed with the deep tissue massage that I got. by the moment I walked out. I felt Fresh like a lettuce . for sure I will be coming back for my regular monthly massage!!! This place is a must try !!! read more

My first time here and the atmosphere was very lovely. I got the deep tissue massage and they got the knots out of my shoulders. They have the best scented oils/aromatherapy. Everything was very clean and professional. I will be back! read more

Nirada Thai Spa - Outside - Massage Near Me - Pasadena, California

I didn't catch the lady name that massage me but she was so wonderful. I came in with knots in my neck and arms but came out with less knots. my body is so tense so I know it's going to take a few more sessions before I feed better. I would recommend this place. The receptionist is a doll. made this my favorite spot read more

I arrived for my 5:00 PM appointment 10 minutes early, expecting to begin on time. After waiting approximately 20 minutes, the receptionist informed me that there would be a delay because previous clients had arrived late. I expressed that my scheduled appointment time should not be affected by other clients' tardiness and that this was unacceptable. I was told that I would be compensated for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, I was not seen until approximately 5:40 PM, resulting in a 40-minute delay despite arriving early. My time is valuable, especially on Father's Day, and I had planned my evening around this appointment. The massage itself was also disappointing. During the 90-minute session, I asked the therapist twice to increase the pressure, but my requests were not addressed. As a result, I would rate the experience a 4-5 out of 10. I left feeling that the service did not meet the expectations associated with a 90-minute massage. To compensate for the delay and inconvenience, I was given a $10 discount. Given the significant wait time, the lack of responsiveness during the massage, and the fact that this occurred on Father's Day, I do not feel that the compensation adequately reflected the impact on my experience. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so that future clients are not similarly affected. Timeliness, communication, and responsiveness to client requests are essential to providing quality service, and unfortunately, my experience fell short in all three areas. read more

Cute, clean, professional. My masseuse listened to feedback and personalized the deep tissue massage well to where my tension was. Very relaxing environment and kind staff. read more

Nirada Thai Spa fixed an ongoing problem with my lower back and right leg. At times it is so bad I would wake up at night and could not sleep again. Last night was one of those nights. I was recommended to try Nirada Thai Spa. They were able to see me today and really work into my psoas muscle and even into my QL muscles unlike other techniques because of their ability to twist your body into positions to access the muscles. I know a little bit about the muscles because of the ongoing issues with my wrecked back. NO other massage place has been able to solve this problem. Ask for Jazmin when you contact them. Like myself, you will get relief you didn't know could happen. It is a real solution other than taking pain meds and worthless Physical Therapy from places like Kaiser. No need to thank me. I am already grateful enough. read more

The space feels completely refreshed! It's clean, polished, and instantly relaxing under new ownership but the real highlight is the massage itself. I walked in with serious tension in my neck and back, and my masseuse zeroed in on every knot without rushing through it. The pressure was perfectly catered towards my needs, deep enough to be effective but still controlled. I could literally feel the stress release. I left noticeably lighter and actually pain-free. The price is reasonable and the staff and front desk are so kind! They also offer facials which I'd love to try next! If you're in the area, I'd highly recommend! read more

Jazmin was great! Made a quick appointment after I pulled my neck yesterday. Clean and efficient place, she was communicative and worked out my very difficult back! Great value! Will be back again soon! read more

I RARELY leave reviews but I had to leave one for this place. By far one of the best massages I've ever had! I've been to so many different massage places in the 626 area and Pasadena. And this place wins for me. I booked this place through ClassPass just to check it and I will definitely be coming back on a regular basis. read more

I got the 60 min custom massage and I really enjoyed it. This place seems recently redone or had a fresh facelift. The staff was so kind and warm too! Each curtained area had its own sound machine and the entire massage space had relaxing jazzy spa music which I feel like was way more tasteful than other places I've been to. The massage itself was great, I had Ken who I requested medium to high pressure and it was perfect, full body massage that melted all my tension. He used hot stones and aromatherapy and it was exceptional. Highly recommend and the price point is unbeatable. And there's a small parking lot!! read more

I was initially skeptical since this was my first massage, but I had been experiencing morning leg cramps and decided to give it a try. I booked a session with Travis and requested a Thai deep massage with a focus on my legs. I wasn't sure what to expect, but he was attentive to my concerns. At first, the pressure was intense, but it gradually became very soothing as the session progressed. Overall, I truly enjoyed the experience and felt noticeable relief. I will definitely be returning again soon. read more

The place is so aesthetic! My technician was gentle yet skillful. The massage was so relaxing along with the audio of waves. Highly recommended! read more

Got a super relaxing massage here. The massage therapist was really able to find my knots and work them out. Exactly what I needed after a long week and heavy lifting. Receptionist was also very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. read more

This has been my go-to massage spot in Pasadena. The rate is pretty good at $60 for an hour, $90 for 90 minutes. Becky is very skilled and has done very effective deep tissue massages for me. The is very little parking though, and there are very specific spots you cannot park in. So make sure you're sure you're in the right spot. They charge a little extra for paying with credit card, so bring cash if you want to avoid that extra fee. I have also found it can be hard to get an appointment because they don't always pick up the phone. Just keep trying to call, I guess. There was a period of time when I thought they closed because my calls weren't going through. But they're still here! read more

I've been getting massages with Jazmin since before she was working here and I can always count on her to fix me up when I'm feeling a bit sore. I would definitely recommend her! The location itself is clean, calming, and relaxing! read more

Cozy quiet place behind a Vietnamese restaurant, just opened 2.5 months ago. I had an amazing massage experience from Jazmine, a thorough Thai traditional massage with ceiling bar, combined with relaxing CBD oil and hot stone treatment. So hard to find a true Thai massage around my area, this place is truly a hidden gem, right across PCC, has limited parking, come early and find Jazmine. read more

Excellent massage experience with Megan. She is sweet yet her hands are strong and really can execute a deep and thorough Thai massage. Don't forget to ask for the walk on your back technique. 5 stars! read more

Service was amazing, I felt like my masseuse focused on problem areas well. If you want deep tissue massages go to Nirada!

Wow, just wow! This brand-new Thai Spa facility is a hidden Gem! You may not see it from the street, but the place is hidden behind a restaurant. Spotless, elegant, and the staff delivers exceptional service every step of the way. Impeccably clean, very cozy, and the service is genuinely excellent. My massage therapist (Becky) was highly skilled, attentive, and made the session feel completely personalized. The facility uses premium products, and the overall ambiance is calming and refreshing. I left feeling renewed, lighter, and already looking forward to my next visit. The attention to detail is incredible. If you want a clean, professional, and truly relaxing high-end experience in Pasadena, no need to search anywhere else. May be a bit of trouble to find, but worth it! 10/10 read more

Great service and kind staff, prices are reasonable, quality of the massage was excellent from the therapist I had, and the place looks like it recently got remodeled. Would go again. read more

Hit up for a same day massage a little later in the evening. We thought the service was OK. I went with my daughter and you can definitely smell the restaurant lingering from next-door. Parking was fine. Staff was Friendly. We both agreed the service was somewhere in the middle. Not the best we've had and not the worst was a little preoccupied during one of our services and often left the room to greet people at the door so that was a little bit of a bummer. read more

Very professional Thai massage. I come for prenatal massages often. Becky is my go to person.

I've been here many times with my friends and my family. Very awesome massage. But now they have new management from Pattaya Thai Massage and change the name to My House Thai Massage. Now they have new massage therapist and they are very nice. Great customer service. Plus Affordable prices. Today I got a massage from Taryn and Katie with a couple room. There massage was very professional. Now they have a stamp card. We will be back soon read more

I went for a massage today and though they were nice enough, the mediocrity of the massage was such that I left early. I specifically asked for firm and asked if they can go extra firm when I realized it was very weak. I specifically asked to focus on my right scapula area and she did whole body anyway. It was such a weak touch, I couldn't believe it. I didn't expect much for being a cheap massage parlor but I did expect some firmness and working on the specific area I asked for. I threw away $90 today. read more
