Stopped in after reading the reviews & I'm really happy that I did. There was no wait time and I wanted a massage for recovery. The price is very affordable for the neighborhood. The person that gave me a massage listened to my needs. It's not a fancy place, but it gets the job done. Highly recommend. read more

They have shutdown this location but always have always delivered a great massage at a great price. You can now find them operating out of Top Wonderful Garden at 295 Court Street, same number for reservations if you prefer not to walk in. read more

i consider myself somewhat of a massage connoisseur (self-appointed) and enthusiast. i LOVE getting massages and i love getting them often. it's become somewhat of my life's mission to find the best massage spots and there are a number of options on smith st alone. i've been too many on this street, and while to newbies to the no frills massage experience might overlook relaxation garden as it is one of the older, more no frill-y places than its competitors down the street (ie bergen spa), i can confidently say this is the best one. yes, bergen spa is newer, perhaps maybe even more "spa"-like, however service is always hit-or-miss. relaxation garden is my go-to in the area and i've not once left disappointed. most recently, alice revived my tense, cramped neck to full functionality and i can now turn my head 360-degrees like a night owl after several nights of sleeping on it wrong. i like my massages, strong and hard - some people might even consider it painful. but for me, no pain, no gain. i want to leave the massage table equally relieved that my muscles have been de-knotted and relieved that the massage is over (lol jk, but you get my point). anyways, the service here is consistently good and they actually listen when i ask to focus on a specific part of my body. my only complaint is that relaxation garden isn't all that relaxing when it comes to noise. they don't really make an effort here to keep the noise down - the employees talk to each other through the dividers and i've often times been awoken from my half-asleep blissful state bc there are two employees speaking extremely loudly to each other in the front area. however, i refuse to give them anything less than 5 stars bc they deserve as much business as possible bc they've been here longer than most other massage businesses in the area and they always do a good job. read more

Best acupuncturist hands down!! Dr bill is a Gawd Among mere mortals... this is my self care treat to myself I love this place

I happen to be walking by on a sunday afternoon and popped in not being familiar with the place. I was given Leo as a massage therapist and he gave me the best foot massage and reflexology of my life. I really enjoyed. I dont live in the neighborhood but ill probably be coming back again. read more

I have been craving a good massage and stopped into Relaxation Garden as I wandered down Smith Street one Saturday afternoon. I didn't have an appointment and as luck would have it, Susan was available. We walked right back into a little private room. The salon is very clean and I loved the soft relaxing music. Susan was fantastic. I will always ask for her from now on when I return! Often during massages I find myself in pain but Susan used just the right amount of strength that I can feel a difference yet also still felt tranquil and at ease. She has great massage technique and I easily could have laid there for longer! Very reasonable price, too! I paid $50 for a 60 minute massage (30 back and 30 feet). This will certainly be my new go-to! read more

Whoa that massage was everything I needed. It's a no- frills spot that takes walk-in appointments and it was worth every penny. THANK YOU FOR YOUR MAGICAL HANDS! read more

Went in with a sharp pain in my back. I never expected to get an acupuncturist with chiropractic abilities to massage, adjust and completely heal me in 30 minutes. So grateful. Thank you Bill. read more

The nicest place to get a massage in Brooklyn! Clean sheets, professional massage that adapts to your needs (if you want it soft or stronger), really great attitude every employee always with a smile It is very much appreciated that in these Covid times you find places that treat you well, happy and that follow Covid guidelines 100%. Great place, highly recommend read more

Relaxation Garden - Reception area - Massage Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great job! Really enjoyed the massage here. They listened to all of my needs when we were getting the massage done and asked how it was after with a water! read more

This place is great, tried to call and make a reservation but couldn't get through, so just did a walk in for 3 people for an hour massage no problem. A typical tiny establishment the staff was so friendly, nice and accommodating. Not to mention the quality of the massage was awesome. They do take credit card which is a plus and also had a deal if you bought 3 one hour massages the price dropped from $55 a massage to $45. I think i fell asleep and was snoring i was so relaxed, literally came out a new person. Will definitely be back if i am in the area or recommend to friends. read more

This is my favorite Chinese massage studio in Brooklyn as someone who has done the rounds in the city and Brooklyn. No frills but quality massage from Ling Ling, Lili and Linda. Better in my opinion than Bergen Spa, even though their space is nicer. During the winter time the space is always warm and cozy, nice added bonus to help completely relax! read more

I've been walking by this place for 8 years without giving it much thought, but had been feeling pretty knotted up lately and thought I'd give it a shot - and wow, these guys are the real deal. I got a 30-minute foot reflexology treatment, and it was nothing short of incredible. I felt like I walked out on someone else's feet/legs (which is a good thing). The staff was friendly and courteous, and the place clean and quiet. I will definitely be back to see what they can do with the rest of my body. read more

I don't often find myself needing to go to a massage place like Relaxation Garden, which I would place as "everything is wrong in my life and I need total body care." I usually find myself going to get massages to pamper myself or to go to a specialist to get a more knowledgeable, targeted care. But I went through a stressful few weeks, and no matter the amount of sleep I was getting, it was not restful and I could feel my entire body was tense. In a last minute decision, I decided to try Relaxation Garden because I've walked by this place for years, and there's a reason they're still in business, right? Messaged the business on Yelp to see if they had a 2 hour opening that night, and the owner, Ben, responded in less than 10 minutes, I was in! When my appointment came, the manager handling customers was very straight to the point (and I've a feeling walkins are always welcome) and directed me into a room in less than a minute. I've had very awkward experiences with whether or not to leave clothes on (I like to go down to underwear, but you know, some masseuse don't), so I kept my clothes on. Jenny came in, asked me how many hours and then told me to take my clothes off (sweet!) and get under the sheet and then left me alone to do so. She came back quickly and started off really gently. Slightly too gently. I was getting worried. I've been to fancy places where I swear it feels like the masseuses worry about hurting their glass clientele or something. Also...I don't know, there's a way some masseues touch you that I just love - like their touches are getting to know your body rather than going through the rote "massage schedule" motions they have, and Jenny very much had the latter touch. At first. But then she started working me a bit harder, finding specific knots here and there and while not at the pressure I like, I figured I was in here to have my entire body relax and not to work on anything specific, so I didn't say anything. I felt I was on my stomach for for 3/5 of the time, and the other 2/5 on my tummy. And the two hours, she really worked my entire body - head to toe (though head and feet were near the end of the massage and I wished they were longer), and it was glorious. I fell asleep for maybe 10 minutes of it. At the end, I my body was entirely relaxed and since then, have been able to get more restful sleep. She's a very kind lady with ridiculously soft hands (when she was massaging my hands, I felt like I had sandpaper hands compared to hers). It was $90 for 120 minutes and I've been holding myself back from going back to her too quickly, because while the prices are really great, I can't be burning through cash like that. read more

Walked in for a 1-hour massage it was MAGICAL. Told them where I wanted special attention & and they worked out all of the knots and tension. Will be going back again, no doubt! read more

I made a reservation by phone but when I arrived they did not have my reservation. I was told to wait 15 mins but then they were still not able to fit me in, and could not give a wait estimate. Communication was difficult. I ended up just leaving. I have been once before and it was a good massage at a good price. Shame about the lack of appointment system and lack of communication. read more

Just had an amazing massage with Eric. I asked for someone strong who could do a deep tissue massage. I got just that...an amazing massage. I will definitely return. Highly recommended! read more

Super great service. Love this space. I had a back pain but got relaxed after a 60 mins treatment. Will definitely come back again.

I was able to book a 1 hour couples massage on Valentine's Day. They were super nice when I called on the phone. They accept card and cash. It is pretty outdated inside, but LET ME TELL YOU! It was the best massage I have ever gotten. I'm sad I didn't get my masseuse's name. I feel like she was looking and focusing on all of my knots and really got in there. She even added in some hot stones which felt amazing. My bf said his was so amazing he fell asleep. $50 per person was worth it. 10/10 on the experience. read more

No frill, AMAZING massage place. My boyfriend and I love going and getting a couples massage in the very back. The massage itself is great. $50 for an hour! Can't beat that. My only wish is that the full body massage included a foot massage. That is separate and is $40 for 40 mins I believe. But overall can't complain about the price and the service itself. Thanks so much for the continuously wonderful and relaxing massages! read more

I've had 60 min massages at Relaxation Garden a number of times and have always left feeling satisfied and that it was money well spent. Today I had my first massage with Anna and it was *exceptional*. Rivaling any massage I've gotten at much higher end, higher priced spas. The place is no frills but very clean, and they've always been able to accommodate a pretty last minute appointment. We're so lucky to have this gem in the neighborhood. read more

Ive had two really aweful experiences here. The first, the woman massaging me asked me 3 times to extend my time (mind you I was already at an hour ) and went so far as to ask if Id stop my massage to run into another room to ask my friend if he wanted to extend his time too. It was the most un- relaxing experience of my life. There is nothing worse than paying someone to relieve tension only to have it brought back on by them hussling you for money. I finally let her have it after the third time and after i explained how after the first no it should have been enough. The second bad experience ( I shouldnt have gone back but I wanted to like this place) The woman massaging me had the hands of a weak five year old. The massage was so soft and bad that I could have massaged myself better. When I asked for it a little harder she didn't listen and just kept verry gently rubing me, after an hour when I emerged from the massage room. They were all gossiping and laughing at me in chinese- NOT COOL. Talk shit after the customer leaves. It was so clear that I asked them why they were laughing at me and the man (who appears to be the owner) just shooed me away with his hand. So people of you don't mind being hustled for money and some old school racism. Be my guest and pay them money to unrelax you. Yeah Im pissed at this place. read more

After a few days of sightseeing, my husband and I were too exhausted to walk around anymore and we both had leg pain. We decided to try a one hour reflexology foot massage. Our legs feel relaxed now and we are ready to explore more of Brooklyn. Glad we stopped in. read more

They are amazing! Highly recommend... especially, their foot massages! Definitely get a massage here and enjoy! Very healing:) read more

Had the best massage of my life from Amy. Head to toe (literally), strong and intense but never painful, great price, very professional. My new spot. read more

A one hour full-body massage for $55. You can't beat it. For $55, you won't be getting any walls--just partitions--but at least they are considerate. They walked gently in the "hallway" and spoke softly at the front, which is separated from the massage area. The massage was so good that I almost fell asleep. They were professional and courteous. And they're open until 10 p.m. I don't know why there aren't more reviews for this place, but on busy Smith Street they probably don't need a lot of advertisements. read more

Walked right in and got an hour long massage, which was great. Liked the no-frills aspect. Massage itself was not so great. Not bad - strong hands and elbows - but felt like the same kind of massage my untrained boyfriend would give. I wanted to like this place since it got great reviews and had great prices, but I think I'll be trying other places in the future. Just looking for a higher quality massage. read more

Love this place. Great massage for a decent price. The fact that they're open late is my favorite part, nothing like a good massage after a long day at the office... Always, ask for Wendy... she's the best! read more

Coming from the land of cheap asian massages, California, I was determined to find the equivalent in my newly adopted hood. Relaxation Garden is my place!! In some ways it's better because there's a little more privacy with the dividers. If you've experienced these "cheap" asian massage places then you should already know you it's not about the ambiance (water noises and generic forest noises) but they get the job done. If your muscles are tight, have a stiff knot, this is the place. I've been going to the same lady and have taken friends and family from out of town and they love it too. People often complain it's too firm, you just have to let them know because it's their style. NOTE: I think tip is cash only but you can pay by card. read more

I went here on Thanksgiving day and saw they were having a special ($45/hour, what what!) so my boyfriend and I got Thanksgiving massages. The lady who did my massage was either really bony or really forceful, but sometimes that's a good thing I guess. After time was up and we paid and left, I asked my boyfriend how his massage was and he said, "Well......she sure got up in my creases." Long story short, during the massage he was a little worried about what would happen if she asked him to turn over onto his back (but she didn't). Then when we went home to take a shower to get all the massage oil grease off, my BF pointed out that I had big bruises on my back from the massage. Guess my lady was really bony AND really forceful! I'd go back, but def speak up if it's painful (or if you think you're about to get molested). And don't plan to wear a backless dress or anything afterward. read more

Wow! My husband and I just got a 60 minute massage. One of the best massages we both had in a very long time. The price is great - it makes coming back more affordable. Thank you!! read more

They schedule appointments over the phone but do not honor them, even after they admit it was a mistake on their part to take someone else in your place. It is first come, first serve, with little regard for who they've confirmed specific time slots to over the phone. It seems more a function of disorganization than language barrier. Just beware of lack of scheduling when you do go. read more

Seriously phenomenal. Like one of the reviewers below said, they don't ask you about your injuries and individual requirements before they start working on it. But it doesn't matter, because even on my first visit, their intuitive knowledge of my back and body was *that* good. Many of the massage therapists I've visited either go too hard (getting out the knots, but leaving me in pain and not exactly relaxed) or, less often, too easy (a nice slice of relaxation, but no real difference in how you feel afterwards. Relaxation Garden was the perfect middle ground, though. My therapist spent a good amount of time warming up, mapping out the knots and nicks on my body and getting me relaxed, and then got to work on the deep tissue; identifying tension points I never knew I had, but keeping the deep tissue work nicely mixed up with the more relaxing, lighter massage. I don't think I've had a massage this good since I used to see an osteopath. And as others have mentioned, at $55 for an hour, the price ain't half bad, either. read more

Amazing! Strong massage and reflexology. Everyone masked even though the governor says we don't need to be. Very clean station per usual. I'll be back again and again. read more

Best part: Relaxation Garden is one of the only massage parlors that has an owner who speaks english well enough to communicate exactly what kind of massage you want. If you've been to a fair share of massage houses you'll be pleased to hear this. The massage is standard affair. That is, especially relaxing after a long day at work. For those who are nervous about getting a massage, don't be! For some reason in the USA these kind of Asian massage parlors get a negative connotation (you know what I'm talking about). But it's not like that. All you're going to get is a relaxing time, and is well worth it. Would give a 5 star if: The dividers between booths could be taller (though being 6'4" I'm probably the only person that would notice this), and a tighter room altogether. read more

"No pain, no gain." Relaxation Garden is my secret weapon.

I absolutely recommend coming to the relaxation garden for your body relaxation (and mental relaxation needs). I called ahead to book an appointment (although walk-ins are also welcome), and I found out through yelp, that I could get an extra 10 minutes free (if I checked in, which I did promptly). I came late due to traffic, but they happily led me to my room as soon as I walked in. If you do choose the free 10 minutes make sure to tell them before you walk in. The massage was mind blowing. I worked with Li It was as if she knew every thing that was wrong with my body. It's been a few months since my visit, but I'm happy to be going again later today, it was that memorable. A wonderful price for a world of peace and relaxation. I went again recently, and worked with someone named Eric (I believe). I've never had a male work on my knots before but I have to say, he was able to apply pressure to certain spots that no one had ever found before (like my arms, such a weird and cool experience). Very helpful! read more

I had an absolutely fantastic 45 minute foot massage. Probably the best I have had in Brooklyn, worth every penny. In addition, the staff were so friendly that, when it was pouring raining outside, without me asking, they gave me an extra umbrella they had for free. So, so nice! Highly recommend and will come back soon. read more
