I have been going there for over 8 years they are amazing. I highly recommend there location and massage therapists.

We came to get a quick massage while in Cambridge. We opted for 30 minutes on the chair. There was no wait and we were walk-ins so the ladies put a timer on and started right away. I asked for light to medium firmness and the masseuse delivered. There was a little basket near the chairs for personal items and a hanger in the wall for bags. Overall, I thought everything went well and I would return. read more

Got a 40 minute table massage on a whim. I was able to walk-in and quickly be seen. The staff is very professional and the massage itself had good pressure and a relaxing atmosphere. read more

What a great find. We called the night before to make appointments for 90 minute massages. Easy to get in. Note the location is on the second floor of Cambridgeside Galleria not the third floor. The staff was friendly. We were taken into small curtained rooms right away. Staff set very loud timer/alarms for the service you choose. Reason for four stars versus five is the doors of the space are left open. You hear mall noise/traffic, walk-ins crossing over the entry mat (which dings loudly every time), and a staff member helping them every few minutes. It is not relaxing at all due to this. On our visit, one walk-in took a long phone call on speaker while waiting in the chairs just outside our rooms. You can't fix rude or stupid. The massage was excellent though. I didn't feel rushed or that time was being killed. My male therapist worked very tense areas both by hand and with hot stones. They do use a small amount of oil, but it will eventually be wiped off with hot towels. I was most excited for the reflexology part at the end. My feet were very grateful. Would definitely come here again and hope the entry doors are closed and walk-ins are non-existent. read more

I love the massages here but the fact that the keep a fish aquarium that is not well kept and the water is so hazy you can't even see through it is disturbing. Seeing fish die really affects my ability to relax here. read more

I have gone for 20 yrs when gift card and 3rd floor space . Although these days the noise of outside traffic rude dumb questions from inquiring walkers by or loud employees are not relaxing. I usually get a decent massage as they fly in new people constantly I am perplexed as I give a $20 tip to not see the person again.. Puzzled most recently had a lady try walk on back or just use body weight not good or a massage and the fella I was to see another time then was , switched on me to this BS too bad I go once twice month your loss of my money ... read more

I don't know what just happened. I think my masseuse had a personal problem with me, either that or he's just the strongest man in the world. Oh my god. My everything hurts. He's so strong. I need to get a massage just to work out the kinks from that massage. Strongest man alive. Pointiest elbows I've ever seen. Nice scalp massage. Good luck in there. read more

Walked in and immediately taken for a 60 min massage without any appointment. Women who provided my massage was very strong and thorough. She used the time well to work on troubles areas but still made time for foot massage, etc. Bring headphones to block out mall noise & it will be worth the value for sure! read more

the Massage was okay !!first she was very harsh than she was so gentle I could barely feel anything. 60 minutes and I didn't even relax! I had a coupon from them that's on the cambridge side galleria mall's website she didn't let me use it and was pretty rude about it. I'm not sure if I would ever go back ! My first time here and the impressions wasn't good. read more

I've been going to these folks for years. Great massage, polite staff, clean facility. I keep coming back as I have been to other places where the massage was not so good. read more

They often do deep tissue acupressure which is perfect for me. I work with my arms up for hours at a time and have knots in my neck and upper back. It's temporarily painful but releases the knots, thus, chronic pain is gone. Highly recommend!! read more

I asked for 120 minute massage. Went in and got it but one hour was with a woman and then the second hour was with a man. The woman was a little rough and seemed like she was rushing through it. The man was really gentle and did my stomach under the sheet, never took the sheet down and covered my top and massaged me that way. It was an ok massage but was weird that the woman had to leave after one hour. read more

Stopped by this place while in town for a conference and super glad I did. I only got a quick chair massage, but it was very reasonable ($25 for 20 minutes) and the masseuse got in there!! Pressure was VERY deep, which is what I prefer... might be too much for some people, but I'm sure they are able to adjust. Some reviews mention it not being that relaxing - probably true, especially for the chair massages, since they're set up right by the door to the mall corridor. The tables for table massage are set up deeper into the space, which may be helpful. read more

Really bad experience here. My mother and I got the 30 minute foot reflexology and and 60 minute back work. The foot massage was nice, not much reflexology at all but instead a massage. Still, it was nice. The back, though, was terrible. For my mother and I both, they laid a towel over our bodies and began massaging with their elbows through the sheet. Which was fine to start, but my massage was 80 percent under a sheet without lotion. Not what I was expecting. The worst part was that both of our massage therapists could not see our backs through a sheet when using their elbows to kneed our back. Both of them tried to do pressure points on either side of our spines, and ended up doing "pressure points" on our spine?! I was writhing in pain and even asked the woman to lighten up. Today is the day after and we are both bruised all over our upper backs and shoulders. Who "massages" bone?! read more

It's in a mall so it definitely not a quiet spa experience since you can hear all sorts of outside noise but they do good work here and the price is right. The woman who worked on me did a great job and made the experience as relaxing as possible. I just wanted to try the place out to see if I'd like it so I went for the 40 minute foot reflexology service but I think I will do the full hour next time since I did enjoy being there and the work they did was great. They have table massage as well as foot massage here and you can even get a package that includes both. They play soft music in the background and that adds to the experience. They accept walk-ins but if you wish they also will allow you to make appointments as well. read more

I do enjoy the staff here. Polite, and understanding. Recommendation to the team: Buy light blocking curtains for the windows and consider adding a door to block outside noise. It would add to the spa experience for little cost. read more

First off - I don't recommend this place. I was a walk-in but realize the moment I saw "oriental" (an severely outdated and offensive term) I probably shouldn't have come in. Two gentlemen are sitting ahead of me. I walk in. All chairs are taken. The lady tells me it's a 10 min wait. The gents laugh. Another dude walks in. She says the same thing. I now chuckle with them. We all actually did get set up at the same time in 10 min. A plus. It's behind clean in here. I get a 40 min full body work. Shirt off only. An old Japanese man walks in. I'd prefer a woman, but I don't discriminate. Maybe this guy has magic hands. He sets a timer. I like the efficiency and transparency of that. Then we begin. The whole massaging me over a towel is odd at first. Then he moves to massaging on bare skin (I'm like why not do that in the first place?). He does a decent job at hitting the knots. But damn is he rough. He works on every part of my body other than my front torso and feet. He isn't consistent with what he did on one side and the other. 80% consistency there. What shocked me is that he started to speak Japanese to another masseuse. She was next door behind a curtain. I found this unprofessional. The focus should be on the customer. Then he walks out without explanation for two minutes. What he brought in was kind of cool. Metal balls that were heated. It felt like it would burn me. But it didn't. Just super warm. Right on the line between comfortable and not. Interesting. Communication is a weak point here. Mostly Japanese immigrants that don't have intermediate English skills. It reminded me of Imperial Foot Massage in the Pacific Rim Center in the International District in Seattle. $27 (all cash) for an hour foot massage that morphs into full body. Biggest Problem - sometimes you get a magic hands masseuse and sometimes you get a cigarette smelling person w/ a nasty nasal drip and bad hands. Same issue here. Although they are far cleaner (and in a Westernized mall). The mall can get loud. It didn't bother me since it was an afternoon on a weekday. At the end the beeper went off. Not a relaxing sound. He was like ok get up. It felt transactional. Not much care in "okay get the hell out next." I wanted to pay in card. He kept pushing hard for cash. So I gave him his cash. You're better off going to a seasoned professional who may charge double. I didn't come out feeling super relaxed. Mostly beat up. Don't settle for less. Your body is a temple. read more

Here's the thing: It's in a mall and, as such, the prices are more than fair. Don't expect a fancy massage room. You should know you can hear the mall traffic, laughing kids, crying babies and talking adults. But, it's inexpensive and clean and professional. 1) You can walk right in and get a massage. 2) It's less than 1/2 the price of some fancy place so you have to ask yourself if you can drown out the noise for 50% off 3) It's clean and those that work there are professional 4) You can make an appointment if you want 5) Maggie is the best. Seriously...amazing. I got the hot stone massage and she was amazing. Deep tissue, yes. This girl can work your knots. She knows how to put pressure and work it out! I've had plenty of "dead hand" massages in my lifetime. Maggie was one of the best hot stone and deep tissue massages I've had. I vote 5 stars. The 50% less prices are acceptable because of the facility and I will gladly pay that amount of money to get a good massage versus paying more for aesthetics that has a bad massage. THANK YOU MAGGIE! Rockstar! (and it should be noted that if you don't like deep tissue/hot stone than this review if not for you). read more

I love this place so much. It's super cheap and the chair massages are amazing. Just make sure they don't do some back punches at the end and ruin the relaxation experience. They use elbows and go super duper strong- it's like the deepest tissue massage ever. They only really work on neck, traps, and mid back. If these are your problem areas- you need to stop in. read more

Good value for the price. Yes, they would like you to pay in cash but at 1$ a minute I do not mind going to an ATM to save them some money. They were very nice and professional. I had a male masseuse. He showed me the timer before he started which I thought was nice. He did a good job and used a good amount of pressure, which I like. If you are expecting a relaxing massage with waterfalls and new age music you may be disappointed. He paid attention to major muscle groups and pressure points. This was very similar to massages I had in China, complete with a small amount of slapping of the skin. This might put some people off but it really isnt that bad. Also, he kept me respectfully covered and while he did massage my buttocks, it wasnt in a creepy way. I would go back next time I travel to Boston read more

Had a ton of neck pain. Popped in here for a 20 min chair massage and it absolutely did the trick. The women started off with very intense pressure I asked her to ease up a few times which she happily did. Saved me that day! Will be back read more

Honestly never write yelp reviews, but this place really bothered me. They had an older man do my full body and it was very uncomfortable. As a woman in her early 20s I expected a woman to be my masseuse. I didnt like the way I was being touched by him. I felt really uncomfortable the whole time. When I was lying on my back he kept moving my sheet and exposing my breasts. I didn't like where his hands were drifting. Overall a very uncomfortable experience. But I did't say anything or complain. Then when I left he was so rude about the tip I left. I was going to leave a $5 dollar tip and he stopped me. "Really? Only $5?" SO UNPROFESSIONAL! Tipping is optional! So I left feeling violated in a few ways. Will never go back. It's supposed to be a relaxing experience and I was tense the whole time. I expected WAY more professionalism. read more

I woke up on a Saturday morning with a terrible headache and a stiff back. I needed a massage. Immediately! I scoured groupon looking for a deal and called all over the city trying to book a day of appointment. Not happening. I admit, it seems a bit weird being in a mall. But I was desperate, and being in the galleria is actually really convenient. What I appreciated: 1. No appointment necessary. 2. No wait time! 3. For a massage, it's pretty inexpensive. I paid $25 for a 25 minutes. 4. I had no trouble paying with a credit card and including my tip on it Oriental Relaxation Therapy was exactly what I needed. I walked away feeling so much better! I would absolutely recommend when an immediate massage is in order! read more

Fantastic massage!! Deep tissue. Nice and strong. Went in for a 60 minute and switched to 90 minutes.

I lift a lot in my gym and unfortunately strained my back to much which had my back in extreme pain every day I woke up. I try some professional massage therapist around the area but did very little to help my back problem. It was until I came to the mall to check out the GNC to get some supplements to relieve my pain that I notice this place. I decided to give this place a try and had 20 minutes in the chair I told the lady about my back problem which was a bit difficult because she did not know English well. I was in the chair for no less than 10 minutes and I began to feel a difference my back muscles began to relax. She was also strong and really fought my muscular back to treat it well. When the 20 minutes were up I was able to stand up without feeling no pain in my back. I was surprised and shocked at the result where every place failed to help me this place succeed. I gave her a good tip for the great work. I am definitely going to tell my gym buddies! I like this place because you don't need an appointment and if it is full you can always check out another place in the mall and come back. Really convenient! This place is really worth it. read more

No frills, just solid massage work. You're in the middle of a mall so you're going to hear all the mall noises and not have that relaxing spa experience you are probably used to. But you get what you pay for, and then some, at this spot. I was a walk-in during a weekday and there was no wait. My masseuse used deep pressure which I prefer, but she would often ask me if the pressure was okay. She also spoke to the masseuse next to us, only separated by a curtain. I found that odd but not as odd as when she would softly speak to herself. Oh well... no harm, no foul. The hot stones completely took me by surprise... I wish she would have let me know she was going to do that first so I wouldn't have been so shocked (and they are HOT). There is no bathroom inside the shop and it was a bit annoying to have to take the escalator down to the first floor, but I survived. Definitely recommend for the value! read more

Great prices and definitely a great full body massage! Got the 40 minutes for $45 which included hot stones. Have been to other spas but this one offers value, convenience and a great experience overall. read more

Had high hopes for this place but I'm not sure how I really feel about it. Got a $60 1 hour foot reflexology session today and couldn't help but feel like it kind of wasn't worth it. My feet do feel a lot lighter and less tense but for that price you get so much more at other places. There's no foot soak here like in most other places. They also strictly focus on the feet, a bit on the calves but that's it. I've been to places where they even massage your thighs. The pat in the end was weak, no stretching either. No brief shoulder massage. It also felt really hot inside today and they have these old recliner chairs where the foot rest is all ripped up and taped together with tape.. Eekk, was very turned off by this, good quality comfy chairs play a big part in this business, invest in them! This place is prob good for quick stops but not your regular spot or anything. I also see what people mean by the tip guilting, not only is there a sign for cash tips but she even asked me about my tip upon presenting my card, just to bring the cash thing to my attention... read more

If you like super strong, deep massages it doesn't get any better than this in Boston. Originally from the west coast and used to traditional Asian techniques I'd been to a dozen disappointing places for those weak lotion rubs at twice the price that pass for massages around here before my daughter took me to ORT. When a visit to the podiatrist resulted in a prescription I was told I would need to take daily for the rest of my life to control scorching nerve pain I chose a half dozen foot massages to break up the chronic tendonitis instead. On a follow-up visit to the same to the podiatrist "cured," he marveled. How did you fix that?" My reply? "Not with your little white pill." As a masseuse there once said, "Chinese way is the best way." I have been coming here for 4+ years and have never been disappointed. Note: It can be mall noisy so take earplugs if this is an issue for you. read more

I have been here twice and I must say I was skeptical (given they are in the mall) at first but I really was pleased. It is convenient, they can generally take you right away with no appointments and open 7 days a week since they are in the mall and they are reasonably priced. I opted for a "table service" massage both times. I did a 40 minute and a 60 minute and had 2 different people and thought they both did a great job. Both times I went in with a specific issue, this most recent time my neck was killing me and I had been having headaches so asked if he would focus on neck and head which he did and although sore today he definitely worked out the kinks and feel much better. Will try again if need a quick massage fix :) read more

Went here yesterday for a 30 minute massage. The massage itself was great and really relaxing. The man did a great job. They did ask me to pay in cash but I only had a card on me and they were okay with that, no problems. The reason for the lack of stars was that it was very noisy. I wasn't expecting a serene and tranquil environment but I could of done without the masseuses speaking to each other throughout my time there. In addition, when the three masseuses were working on myself and two other clients, a client walked in and one of the masseuses got on their phone and called someone in. It was very awkward. Massaging a client while talking on their cell phone? Not okay. All in all, it was a great massage and I will give it a 2nd chance! Thanks! read more

I'm really surprised at the other review - I've been here 3 or 4 times and my experience has been great. No comments/guilt at all when using a credit card, and the massage - both chair for back/shoulders and reflexology foot massage - was fantastic. read more

Just got a foot massage from here and wow, it was amazing!! Anyone who works with retail or at a restaurant understands how freaking painful your feet can get. I was desperate in need of a relieved. During my first 20 mins of the massage, I was thinking where the heck have I been? Judy did an amazing job- very strong and detailed. Not to exaggerate, but I literally felt like I was on cloud 9. I even asked for another 10 mins because that's how much I freaking enjoyed it! I will definitely become a regular here and try their special combo (60 body+30 feet for $80)!! Tip: I would recommend to listen to your own music instead to avoid outside noises. and bring cash for tips!! read more

I went here for a full body 40 min back massage which was just okay because I kept getting distracted by all the noise and the person who was massaging me kept talking to someone on the other side of the door. It was extremely irritating. Then, she offered me a foot 20 min foot massage, but I declined and asked for a head/ face massage instead. That was the worst mistake of my experience there. Instead of massaging my face with oil she used a little bit of cream which made the massage painful and stretched my skin in a negative way for 5 mins. Then she spent the next 15 mins scratching my head, and not in an enduring nice way. She scratched it so hard. It didn't feel nice, instead she pulled my hair and her scratching dried my scalp that when I came home I had to sooth it with a conditioning treatment. To top, the cashier had the audacity to ask for a bigger tip. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. I had what felt like the best massage considering i had my clothes on. The place is in the mall and they usually wont make you wait long but if there is a wait you can just walk around the mall and kill some time. It is quiet and seems relatively clean. The massage was excellent. He focused on areas that were tight and made sure I was pleased with the experience. When i left, i was planning my next visit. HOWEVER, the next day, i felt like i had been hit by a truck. My back and neck were so sore. Not sure what to make of it. read more

Okay so they say never be too quick to place judgement so I gave them three tries and everytime the massage were mediocre. Maybe I'm a little spoiled but I tried three different people and none of them were up to par (two older women, one younger male). Probably okay for first timers but I hear you should stick with Jason if you don't want to waist your time and money, no Jose working there. The last guy who gave me a massage had a cold, poor guy was coughing everywhere. I hope he feels better. read more

Hands down the BEST 30 minute chair massage I have had. To give you an idea, I work 2 jobs... I just had a 40 min chair massage, boring and didn't help a thing @ a local place. Also bought a group on and did the chinese foot massage thing, nada. ALSO went for a 20 min chair massage, in CHINA town, early July, couldn't wait to leave. KEVIN was amazinggggggg...first time I felt better. Neck relief, shoulder relief, tension gone, amazinggggg Cant wait to go back. If they didn't have a wait list I would have stayed another 30! read more

A great spot for a quick 20/30 min lunchtime massage. I unfortunately do not recall who gave me my chair massage, but he was phenomenal. The only downside is that they are located in the mall and leave their doors open, so you can clearly hear echo-y chatter in the background which I found a little distracting, read more

I've only been here once, so take my review with a grain of salt. I decided on a 40 minute reflexology treatment. My therapist was Tony. I've had reflexology before and I can say that he did an excellent job. After he finished, he told me to get in the chair so he could do my shoulders. Some people might see this as an upsell, which is fine, since they're in business to make money. However, my shoulders were really tight and he was right on, so I agreed. His 15 minute shoulder massage was awesome, too, and he wasted no time finding and working on my knots. I left there feeling great. The price was a very good deal for what I got. $55 for 55 minutes. I don't know any other place that charges this. I will definitely go back. read more

Jack is awesome! I went in around 7 p.m. in need of a massage and Jack was available- didn't have to wait at all. No filling out paperwork or inquiring about the painful areas etc. Which was very strange to me, as I am used to therapist asking a lot of questions. Jack exceeded my expectations. He seemed to be very experienced, did not waste any time and somehow knew to concentrate on my lover back, which is the problematic area for me. He did use a lot of oil and a very deep pressure, so if you're one of those ppl who cannot stand deep tissue massage, maybe he is not the right therapist for you. For me it was perfect, as I usually cannot find a therapist that puts enough pressure. Overall, surprisingly excellent experience -all thanks to Jack. After massage was over I felt relaxed and without back pain. Forgot to mention it's only $60 for one hour of massage. The reason I'm giving 4 stars is because of noises. You can hear customers talking, people walking by and music from the mall. They do have relaxing music in, but it is overpowered by other noises. Other than that, would definitely recommend this place and I will go back as long as Jack is working there :) read more
