Was staying across the street at the Hotel Kabuki and saw Pearl and looked it up. Around 11pm on a…read moreSunday night found 2 openings for a Korean Body scrub (7:30am and 9am). I booked the 9am and got there about 8:25, which gave me time to get oriented/tour facility and do a soak to prep. The reviews were accurate. I glad I was solo, made it easier being comfortable being nude. Lots of amenities to glam up before leaving. It was calm and quiet when I arrived, and got busier as I was leaving. Staff was great, and made me feel comfortable and welcomed. They explained everything and answered questions with a smile. The place was super clean and staff actively removed used towels/swept throughout my stay. A good scrub, felt like a symboloc ritual for shedding the old for the new. I now have baby soft skin!

Absolutely loved my spa day here. Came around 9:40am for a 1030am appointment…read more We did a 90 mins milk and honey treatment. After the body scrub they wrap your body in a foil while they shampoo your hair and apply a face mask. The spa is small but has the essentials: sauna room, steam room, cold plunge, and jacuzzi. Upstairs there's a clay ball room and the salt room. My absolute favorite was the clay ball room. I was so relaxed after my 90 mins treatment when I went into the clay room I almost fell asleep. I will definitely come back. Only thing is it is in japantown so parking can be hard. But it was very convenient to go across into Japan Center for lunch afterwards

Sandy was kind, accommodating, and gave just the right amount of pressure! I'll be back.read more

Finding a massage place you can truly trust in SF is harder than it should be. Between questionable…read moreambience and not knowing what you're walking into, it can feel like a gamble. Siam Orchid on Polk takes all of that uncertainty off the table. The moment you walk in, the interior does the work. Wood paneling, soft music, and a space that's clearly been thoughtfully designed to transport you somewhere calm. You're in relaxed mode before you even lay down. One thing that stood out to me: you pay after the massage. That tells you everything about how seriously they take their craft. I've tried several services here including the traditional Thai, Swedish combo, Thai aroma, and hot stone. All of them were exceptional. My recommendation on timing: 90 minutes is the sweet spot. Over an hour is a must, and two hours was a bit much for me personally. Pricing is fair for the quality, and they offer a small cash discount if you bring it. They also have water, tea, and a lovely bathroom, which sounds like a small thing but adds to the overall experience. This is not a cheap random massage parlor. This is the place you go when you actually want to release muscle tension and leave feeling restored. My go-to in the city. If you can't find an appointment at the Polk st location the Taylor st one is just as good too!

Their demeanor perfectly matched the relaxing atmosphere. The massage room I was in was cute, calm, and well-appointed. While the massage itself was good, the regular price point is quite high for what they offer, especially since there are no additional amenities like a sauna room. For that reason, I'm not sure if I would go back.

Came in for a foot massage and honestly didn't expect it to be this good. The place has a really…read morecalm, low-key vibe, nothing over the top, just clean, quiet, and relaxing. Exactly what I needed! The massage itself was great. The therapist knew exactly how much pressure to use and focused on all the right spots without me having to say much. It was one of those sessions where you can actually feel the tension melting away, not just going through the motions. What I appreciated most was how comfortable everything felt. No rush, no awkwardness, just a solid, quality experience from start to finish. By the time I left, my feet felt completely refreshed and I was way more relaxed overall. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I need to unwind. Highly recommended with great and reasonable prices for anyone looking for a massage.

BOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE! I booked a session here hoping for relief from work-related lower back pain…read more(I'm a nurse and spend long hours on my feet). I scheduled both a foot and back massage with the expectation of therapeutic work. The "massage" felt more like someone rubbing lotion on my skin for an hour than actual therapeutic work. My 70-year-old nail technician gives better foot massages than what I received here. There was no real reflexology or massage technique. It was so bad I even stopped halfway and explained my dissatisfaction, still the lotion rubbing continued. When I expressed my dissatisfaction at checkout, the front desk staff simply shrugged, charged the full amount, with no attempt made to address my concerns or offer any resolution. If you're looking for legitimate therapeutic massage from licensed therapists, I strongly recommend going elsewhere. This place is not worth your time or money.

Been feeling a bit out of sorts lately, so went to Iyara and got the Thai Aroma Massage ($110 hour)…read morewhich is a variation of Swedish Oil Massage combined with Thai deep pressure massage. I used to get the Traditional Thai or the Heat Herbal Compress, but lately my favorite is the Thai Aroma Massage (Swedish/Thai combo) because it's just the perfect combination for me in terms of pressure and technique. So I went in asking for relief of my shoulder/neck area because it was tensed from work, and came out feeling so much better. My massage therapist also worked on my back and calves which I didn't know I had a knot on one leg, so it was slightly painful, but felt relieved afterwards. I really wanted to take a 1/2 hour nap afterwards instead of get up to leave, but c'est la vie. The place is clean, staff is friendly, walk-in are welcome though I usually book/call ahead to make sure they have the time.

My masseuse was the opposite, similar to what one reviewer on here Erica said, the masseuse went through the motions. I thought she was easing into it, but it never got better. She didn't massage the shoulders, or back much at all, and spent a lot of time rubbing the body, my scalp, and putting little effort into anything, The best way to describe it was if someone was just learning to massage, or just decided to give up for the day, but she's clearly been working there for a while given she ran the front desk too. Anyways, won't be coming back, if the business knows who she is, consider firing her because she will ruin your ability to get new customers and cause friction with existing ones. It only takes one bad experience to lose business, especially with so many other options nearby and in SF.
