ZERO STARS. DO NOT COME HERE. THIS IS NOT A SPA EXPERIENCE. Worst massage experience of my life in…read moreany country. Terrible technique. Disgusting hygiene. A 40% mandatory tip posted on the wall. A "cash is better" front desk. A masseur who had to be yelled for like a dog. Real physical pain a full day later. Read this and run. Walked in at 5:35pm for a 90-minute foot massage. Walked into dark room where masseur was sitting in dark, chilling. Told to sit down. Sat 10 minutes while the masseur walked away. First red flag. He came over to start with shoulders, which is standard for Chinese reflexology. I declined and asked for feet and legs only. He dropped my feet in a basin of hot water and disappeared again. Unprofessional from the first second. Once the massage started, it was clear this man has no technique. Zero. 90 minutes of brainless squeezing, yanking, and grinding like he was aggressively scrubbing a pot. No skill. No rhythm. No pressure control. He seemed nice enough as a person. This is just not the job for him. I have hairy legs and he used so little product the friction was unbearable. It felt like rug burn. I told him during the massage. He kept going. I asked for less pressure. He kept going. I asked for more product. He barely adjusted. It is now past 11:15 the next morning and my legs are STILL on fire. Every hair follicle feels inflamed and yanked at the root. Skin feels raw. I woke up in pain. That is not a massage. That is sanding someone's legs down for 90 minutes. Hygiene was vile. He repeatedly plunged his bare hand into an old communal jar of product, smeared it on my bare feet, and dunked right back in. Over and over. No spatula. No pump. No scoop. Just bare hands, bare feet, and one shared open jar collecting skin oils and dead skin from every client before me. NY State requires massage establishments to keep equipment and supplies in a clean and sanitary manner, and double-dipping bare hands into shared product between clients?! This is exactly the kind of sanitation issue that gets businesses written up. The front desk woman seems sweet for 30 seconds. Then, unprompted: "yeah, cash is better." Universal red flag for no paper trail. Combined with everything else, the place is shady. Tipping policy is insulting. Posted on the wall: $20 per hour of service. On a $75, 90-minute massage, that is a mandated $30 tip. 40%. For service this horrible. That is a shakedown, not a tip. After the massage, he vanished again. No thank you. No water. No goodbye. The front desk woman had to yell for him like she was calling a dog. And this is the man collecting a mandatory 40% tip! When asked how it was, and I told her the massage was honestly bad, she did not even ask why. No follow-up. No apology. No concern. Just blank indifference, like complaints are a daily occurrence. She was already pressing the elevator button and standing at the door, ready to flush me out before anyone overheard. I have had hundreds of massages in dozens of countries. Hotel spas, neighborhood shops, luxury resorts, at random beach cabanas, night markets, and even sessions with blind therapists whose technique was extraordinary. This was an able-bodied man with full use of his eyes and hands, and he managed to deliver the worst massage of my life! Every glowing review here and on Google is a lie. Fake, planted, or written by people who have never had a real massage. No honest person walks out of here and calls it good. Take your money and your dignity literally anywhere else. AVOID. RUN.

This is a conflicting review, as the masseuse was actually VERY good and his name was Paul. But…read morehere's where the issue is. My husband and I walked in for the $30/hr foot massage. When we came in and said that was what we wanted they escorted us to the back to a table for a massage. I said to the women again, I wanted the foot massage. So at this point we felt trapped and like we couldn't leave as they forced us to the back area of this establishment. We laid down for our massage, and enjoyed the actual massage. It seemed like Paul actually understood the body, and it did feel good. At the end of the massage they asked us if we wanted our feet done in addition to the hour we just got. We said yes.... thinking it would be an additional $10/15 in addition to the $30. We met the lady and man who did our massages at the front after and she said $120 for both. Well that was quite different than what we came in and asked for $30/hr x 2 = $60. I tried to explain to the 4 people standing in the front that we came in and asked for the foot massage and they gave us NO choice but to do what they wanted. All I wanted was an acknowledgement. They all pretended that they had no idea what my husband and I were saying. And we both felt completely taken advantage of. Shame on you. I am the type of customer that repeats and tells others. I rarely leave bad reviews, but you may be taken advantage of if you come here.

I wouldn't recommend this location at all. Mid leveled massage for double the price. My friend and…read moreI were around the area looking for a last minute massage. We called Thai body kinetics because they had the most reviews and they had availability for two for an hour body massage. When we got there, we were greeted by one staff and directed to a room for two people. When we were ready, two masseuse therapists came in. They didn't ask what kind of massages we wanted and just started working on us. It seemed promising at first when they were warming up, they asked how the pressure was and continued with work. By the half it, the girls just seemed lazy. The rest of the experience they were whispering to each other and giggling. Honestly, It felt like I was just being rubbed down with lotion, my therapist just did light work and added in stretches to make it seem like she did something. We paid $130 per person for an hour rub down. They had us Zelle their manager. For tip, they had the audacity to ask for MORE. Are you kidding? We tipped (which is optional) on the level of service and they wanted more. The space is small and they just stood there making things awkward asking for more tip. The one star review they have here was true. Don't get scammed here.

Not bad but... The place is located in a big office building…read morein midtown Manhattan. Once you enter the building you have to write down your name, where you're going and the arrival time with the not too pleasant concierge, then when you arrive to the actual spa you have to wait for your masseuse in the corridor because they won't open the door until it's your appointment's time.The place is not cozy or elegant but it's extremely clean and the staff is very attentive, always showing the typical oriental hospitality and here is where the problems begins. The language barrier don't allow them to clearly understand if you have any sensitive areas (even though the lady asked me that before starting the massage),I mentioned that I strained my hip and wanted to concentrate more in that area. Her massage certainly improved my pain but I got the standard massage not taking into consideration my request as she didn't put more emphasis in that area and the techniques and deepness used felt a bit amateur. After booking one of their most expensive massages ($140 for 50 minutes) with a "Master" as they describe it on their website I'm very sorry to say that it was not worse or better than the $45 massage you get in any of those massage parlors you find in Manhattan.

Tui Na focuses on bones, blood flow and joints which is more of a chinese medical massage. It is not relaxing or comfortable. It has been a challenge finding a place to go to after Health Trail closed down. I've been to many others ever since and today I found Yuan Shi and they are what I've been searching for. I now have bad knees and back pains. I came in on a Sunday and got an hour of the Chinese full body Tui Na. Michael was my masseuse and little dude is strong. He was able to pinpoint all my pain areas and proceeded to roll, press, stretch and kneed it to death. The more squirming I did and wincing from pain, the harder he went. I wanted to stop showing my pain just so he would stop sometimes. But as the guy at Health Trail said, "No pain, No gain". The timer went off after and hour and he continued working my back for another 5 minutes. I really appreciated it, as he knew I was in need of this session. 1 hour was $50, and I tipped $20. He really earned every dollar. Im sore from the bruising but my back pains are relieved right now. I'm considering buying the certificate. 10 sessions for $500 upfront and comes with 3 free massages. This seems really worth it in my opinion. I'm definitely coming back again.
