Shady place, paid $100 for 90 minute massage. 20 minutes into the massage the therapist asked for an additional $100 tip for good massage. I said no and said I want what I paid for. A few moments later the therapist says "first time come here?" I replied yes. Then therapist says "here you pay minimum tip $50 ok?". I said I will tip based on how well my massage was. After that I got the worst massage ever. I got up and only tipped $20 and left. It's a hustle here folks. Do Not Come here it will ruin your day! I called the owner and all he said was that he was sorry and would talk to the therapist. No refund no can I get you a better therapist complimentary. So disappointed in this business! read more

Kinda run down massage place. Got an hour massage but only got 50 minutes. The guy that gave me a massage had very rough calloused hands. Was kinda uncomfortable, so I'm actually glad the massage was over sooner than the 60 minutes I paid for. After I left, I discovered that I had scratches all over my back from his massage. The woman who seems to be running this place (owner?) is a bit of a shady character. A bit rude. Dismissive. Also, they require a minimum tip of 30% lol. What a rip. read more

My friend came here and was assaulted by a male at the end of the massage. I would stay away from here, he gave no indication that that he wanted anything and the masseuse used his tongue at the end of the massage in an inappropriate place. read more

We spent $45 for a 30 minute massage. I asked for an hour and was just abruptly stopped. When it came time to tip- we gave $10/each and the blonde masseuse pretended to not know English and demanded we give her a 44% tip! She was so awkward and wouldn't let us peacefully leave until we doubled the tip just to get out the door. I would not recommend this place at all as they will rip you off and the massage was tolerable at best. There are several places in the Hollywood area who offer a better rate and don't demand ridiculous tips read more

It's a small place and only had one person working Saturday. Traditional massage without the bells and whistles, more of an end and out feel read more

Nikki did a great job on my back. Thank you, Nikki! I'll definitely be back for sure.

this place sucks ! they ask you to pay 50 dóllars to enter and then the ask you for 80 extra tip for hand job ! no way this pay shack and if you say no to the hand job they will try to make you tip extra 20 dollars to the massage girl. i don't recommend this place don't wast your time and go somewhere else read more

Be aware. They charge you tip upfront. I stopped in for a 30 minute deep tissue massage which is $50 but I was told that I needed to tip $20 before I can even be seen. I was not willing to give a 40% tip. read more

Very bad people. I'm a coming back customer but they don't answer phone calls during their working hours listed in yelp. What's worse is that no one showed up when I went there for my massage appointment! Very very disappointed that they wasted my time. I called them a few times during working hours on last Saturday and this Monday and nobody answered the phone. Finally they called me back and scheduled me for 5pm on Wednesday. I was looking forward to it. But when I showed up at the door at 5pm Wednesday nobody answered the door. I called them a few times but went straight to voicemail box. After half an hour a lady called me back and told me that she's in Thailand and she didn't know I had an appointment that time!!! Gosh I have canceled my evening plan for that massage appointment!!! I've waited at the door like a fool for 40minutes. Do you treat your customers this way? At least you should have told me that you have something coming up and I need to reschedule! read more

I had a great non happy ending massage here. The ambiance and atmosphere is perfect. I love that they have a discounted happy hour times. The masseuses were very pleasant , sweet, had a hella nice smile. Her hands felt so good I fell asleep. I actually dozed off for half an hour over my time and they let me without giving me a wake up rush to get out of there. I highly recommend this place. read more

Hands down worth every penny! I stayed at the Loews hotel and could see the massage spa across the street. I've had a Thai massage before so I knew to expect the walking and stretching on my back. Would definitely do it again loved it read more

I got a massage here that included hot rocks, though the massage wasn't terrible, everything else was. You can hear everything going on in the next room. The phone kept ringing while I was getting a massage and my massage therapist answered it! Not only did she kept on leaving, she brought the phone back inside with her and continued answering incoming calls throughout my massage time. She shorted me a bit of time (not counting the time I was left laying there while she answered/greeted customers). To add a cherry on top: it's CASH ONLY and a MANDATORY (at least) $10 tip per person. If you don't mind any of this.... you might go back. I know I won't. read more

I visit this place once in a while and I am pretty satisfied every time. Today I had a great deep tissue massage from a lady who seemed to be very experienced in this. The stuff is always nice, the place is clean and decent. $50 for 60 minutes of any massage + tips (up to you). read more

I was excited to find a Thai massage place so close to where we were staying with affordable prices but the massage was just mediocre. I got the combo and expected stronger pressure from a male masseuse but his touch was too gentle like from a young girl. To his credit, he spent a longer time on my hip where I needed more work (after I asked him). But his technique showed his inexperience and I left feeling only slightly more at ease. The place is clean and peaceful even though in a strip mall. read more

Royal Thai Spa - Beauty & Spas Near Me - Los Angeles, California

In the mood for a deep tissue massage, I consulted Yelp for a place that was close by, preferably in walking distance from my place in Hollywood. I called and was able to make an appointment for a few hours later. I walked over, and got a little bit turned around at first, even in my own neighborhood. I didn't realize that it was inside of a plaza. It is right above the 7-Eleven on Highland & Yucca. I walked in and the place seemed very slow. I told him I was there for my appointment, and they asked me if it was OK if a male did the massage. I told him I didn't mind and they escorted me to my massage room in the back. They said somebody would be in shortly. There was no place to hang my clothes so I just put them in a little box by the bed. There's pretty much nothing in there except for a bed and aforementioned box. It was dimly lit in a very small room. I was greeted by my massage therapist shortly after. The massage itself was nice but definitely not the best deep tissue I have had. One of my favorite parts of getting a massage is the scalp massage at the end. I didn't get one, and I had purposely not washed my hair all day for that! Also, he didn't pay attention to my lower back or my feet which are areas that I normally need the most. I did feel relaxed, and he worked a lot on my neck which I really needed because I travel a lot and that is always bothering me. Overall, I felt good and relaxed after the massage and I wasn't too sore the next day. However, I do not feel as though I will be returning because I've gotten better deep tissue massages in this area. I believe it was $60 in total including tip. A bit pricey for the service. Not sure about the parking situation since I walked, but I would imagine that you would be able to park in the plaza lot if you can find a spot. read more

I received a 90 minute mixed Thai and deep tissue massage. It was an average massage with use of numerous different techniques including rub down, forearm, pressure, stretching, and the gentleman standing on my table and putting all of his weight into my back. Very professional draping. I didn't like that it's cash only, he spoke limited English and couldn't tell me the difference bw their types of massages, my "room" had only a curtain divider so I could hear everything they were doing/saying also. Overall, just average. If I was to return to this area again, I probably would not return. read more

Once I first came In there they was nice and gentle and the massage felt good I'm forsure comin back they hands are amazing

I scheduled an appointment, then when I called little later to reschedule it for a following day they didn't even found my reservation but ask me to come next day, when I arrived next day a massage therapist didn't come! I was promised free massage to regulate this situation but they didn't keep their promise telling me that a facility is permanently closed now. Very, very bad guys! read more

Love the service. My first time having a full body massage(actually first massage ever) she took care of me. She has a delicate hands. Love it. Definitely coming back again read more

I got the Swedish massage with the free hot stone addition (it was a promotion) for 60 minutes. The place is in an​ outdated-looking shopping center, but the space inside is clean if simple. The woman greeted me there and escorted me to my room. The only thing I did not like about the massage bed was that there was no actual hole for your face when you had to lie face down. It was just a round, neck pillow -- hard to breathe. The woman was very nice and was very patient with me when I had to blow my nose (unfortunately​ I had a cold). You have to pay in cash/card before service. If you pay with card, there is a $2 fee. At the end I tipped her in cash. They have a chart with emojis that details how much tip you should give based on the service. $10 was the minimum for ok service. I gave $20 but felt that was a lot for a $50 massage. The hot stones were a nice addition and it was great they had a promotion for any $50 massage. It's a good price for the amount of time you get. Their website lists all of their services and prices. read more

This place filled a void that I didn't know I had. We were being tourists and had some time to kill before going to a Jimmy Kimmel live taping. This place popped up on yelp, and I'm so glad it did. It's a place that i wouldn't expect anyone to stumble upon. It's on the second floor of a somewhat shanty strip mall of sorts. I'm so glad we walked in (though we did call 20 minutes ahead to make sure that they could take us). We asked for the deep tissue massage, and were told that there was a special, only $39 for an hour, instead of the advertised $45. It is a combination of getting massaged by the feet of the staff (stepping slowly on your legs and back), thai massage (stretching you and contorting your body a bit), and the traditional deep tissue massage with their hands. They worked out tension that I think had been there since I was born. This is probably not the place for someone super modest, as at the end, to get my shoulders really deep, the towel that was covering my front couldn't really stay where it was, but I didn't really care. If you'd rather hold onto your tension than have a masseuse see your rack, then this might not be the place for you. But, if you like feeling like your body will be in better shape from a massage that focuses on tension in the soles of your feet, to your neck, the do yourself a favor and go here. And bring cash, as it's cash only. (There is an ATM inside). read more

Just moved to the Hollywood Heights area this week and I was way to tired and sore to drive to one of my usual massage spots. Given this place was around the corner, I figured I give it a go. They've just recently opened the place is clean and new, don't let the fact that it's in this little strip mall deter you. I requested a thai/deep tissue combination and had a lovely girl name "Kay (or Kake)" work on me. Her deep tissue was good and she spent a very good amount of time on my tight neck. I'd say her thai massage was much better in terms of walking on my back, applying pressure with her feet and stretching me. Compared to Thai Barai, where most people on the east side goes, I'd say it's a good alternative if you're in a time crunch or a tourist staying at the Lowes or one of the nearby hotels, but I won't trade them for my regular massage therapists. I would ask them to easier on the oil they use or bring your own if you're sensitive to oil vs. cream. Nice people and I'll be back. read more

So, I can admit it...I'm a total massage whore. I'll go anywhere and try anything once. I can honestly say I just received a practically life-changing massage here. The therapist who worked on me (Kake) was ahhhh-may-zing!!!! Quite possibly one of, if not THE, best masseuses I've ever encountered. She did a PHENOMENAL deep-tissue and managed to work out a knot under my left shoulder blade that NO ONE has been able to do successfully. Yes, it's in a strip mall in Hollywood (but, hell - what ISN'T in a strip mall, anymore??) and parking can be tough, but if you're commuting home from work and heading up Highland to get on the 101, you'd be remiss in not checking this place out on your way home from work one night. read more

Had a great deep combination massage! The masseuse's feet were as fine-tuned as hands, so the walking portion was awesome. By far the best bang for my buck I've found for a $50/hr massage in LA. Tip: ignore the 10-minute parking signs as the shop owner said security will check with the businesses before towing anyone. read more

It's been a while since I've been to Thailand, or even had a Thai massage and this was exactly what I needed. I was cracked, and stretched and contorted in places I didn't know possible. Most cheep and cheerful Thai massages you stay dressed in loose clothing (this website suggests the same thing), but when I got into the room she had me strip down to my underwear / undies / knickers / panties (or whatever you call your bottom undergarments depending on where you are from). Be aware you will show all of your other bits to her when getting stretched, so if you're a woman and this makes you uncomfortable hold onto that towel for dear life! (But then you'll ruin the whole experience, and you're both women, you both have boobs so let them free!) Was $39 paid upfront (down from $45, and afternoon happy hour special), plus tip. They have a recommended tipping sheet on the front desk, I can't remember what it said but I tipped $20, making it still a good price for an hour massage. Fun Fact - there is NO happy ending here. And yes, to me that is a good thing. Apologies if you were looking for one, maybe get on a flight to Thailand! read more

I decided to try this place because it's close to my place and I was surprised for their quality. I lived in Thailand for a year and I miss all that cheap massages so much. Certainly the price here is not the same we can get in Bangkok, but their Thai massage was pretty good. I also love all the stretching at the end of the session. The place is simple but clean and organized. I will definitely go back for another massage. read more

Great location! The people there are very hard workers and did a good job I just felt it wasn't as professional as most other places. They also advertise a $39 massage but fail to tell you that you MUST tip at least $10 minimum. In addition to this they didn't give me back my change. I definitely will not be back. read more

So yesterday me and my friend decided to get a body massage and he came across this on Yelp. I don't get massages often but i would say this place is heaven sent! So relaxing, so warm and everyone is nice! I highly recommend this place and would definitely get some more body massages for myself Thank you Royal thai spa for making me feel so great, refresh and so relaxed! read more

A dubious massage parlor across from Loews. The 30-minute massage I paid for did not last 30 minutes, and barely qualified for 22 minutes. The masseuse left the room a few times, as she was alone and the business door kept getting knocked on. She then declined a $5 tip and pointed to a sheet encouraging a $20 tip. A total trap and it makes me wonder. read more

I really enjoyed my massage here. I came in on a Thursday night around 6 PM for a deep tissue massage. The service was friendly and the staff were very nice. My deep tissue massage was sort of a combo Thai massage (walking on me), Thai stretching, and deep tissue. I've never had a deep tissue using feet before, but my masseuse was very competent. I wasn't really looking for the stretching tonight, but it felt good anyway. My masseuse definitely knew what she was doing, and I'm very glad I came here. The shoulder pain I was experiencing is greatly reduced. I wasn't a huge fan of the music, as it was more like children's music almost. But the atmosphere was peaceful and the table was comfortable. Oh and the massage was underwear-on, so those who are shy will probably feel comfortable here. I would definitely recommend and may very possibly return. Not necessarily perfect, but a solid 4 or 4.5 stars. read more

This was the best massage I've ever gotten. Just the right amount of pressure. It was super relaxing and exactly the stress reliever I needed. And it's within walking distance so I'll definitely be back! read more

We got a couples massage here and while the actual massage wasn't terrible, everything else was. The location is pretty bad, your room is actually just a section with sheets up. You can hear everything outside of the room. Also, the phone kept ringing while I was getting a massage and my massage therapist kept leaving and answering it! then after the third time she went and brought the phone in with us! I've never been so agitated while getting a massage... and on top of that they shorted me a bit on time (not even counting all the time that I was just laying there while she attended to her business). I understand it's a small business but hire a receptionist or say you can't do couple massages. read more

Don't let the strip mall location in Hollywood dissuade you from getting a massage here. I got a full body, deep tissue massage from Jenny and it was epic! I cried from pain and joy, and the release. You can tell they work from a place of love and care for those who come in. I'd highly recommend getting a massage here! read more

Experience was amazing. Here is the best spa saloon I have ever gone. I'm not remembering the name of the woman but she was amazing, she found all my points which I have pain in and fixed me definitely I will go back read more

I went with a friend so we did couple massages but the women were talking together, mine didn't pay attention at what she did because she was talking, I waited waited waited again until I asked them if they wanted us to come back later when they will finish . They stopped talking but it stressed us. It's bad to get mad in a place you are supposed to relax. I won't come back and I stick with the place I usually go. read more

This is now my go-to Thai massage in the Holly'hood. Went in for a 90-min deep tissue & they accommodated my last-minute appt inquiry Friday night & my massage went a bit over their closing time. Jenny took a good 30 mins to focus on my left ankle, tired & weak from a 20-yr old achilles tear. She did the back-walking & solid, thorough stretching which felt satisfying without being too painful. I was surprised how quiet their space was, despite being located on Highland across from the Loews hotel. Two of my co-workers also get massage here, & we work in a chiropractor's office further south on Highland. Keeping the biz in the 'hood! read more

Great massage! You have to visit! I go to Burke Williams typically but nothing beats a Thai massage. Great customer service!!!

Let me just say, if I'm getting a massage, I do not want to hear the phone ringing in the next room, people talking loudly and laughing, and the clothes dryer thumping in the other room banging on the wall. My bf paid for a massage that was supposed to include hot rocks, we did not get the service we paid for, they never brought out the rocks and quite frankly I don't even think our massage lasted a full hour. Secondly, the music started getting staticy which killed the entire vibe and it took them about 5-10 minutes to figure out how to get it to stop. You're supposed to be relaxed and enjoy the massage you're getting so your body can heal and you can walk out with less pain than you came in with. We left with horrible service and more tense than before. I do not recommend. read more

I work next door from this place and went today got my first massage ever. Got combination of Thai & Swedish. GOD IT WAS THE BEST THING EVER! LOVED IT! Everyone there is really friendly. I'm extremely happy with the service will def. come back and will recommend this to my pals. read more
