    10/10 experience! Great facility, very clean and relaxing. They have a delicious immunutea. Jung did my wet room treatment and she did an amazing job. I will definitely be back!

    One of my fav spots it's a must! Girls grab your girls and go best place to treat yourself

    First time at Spa LA and I had the best time. We enjoyed the waters. We did the hot and cold pools. We tried all the mineral rooms and I really saw a difference on my skin at the end. The place is extremely clean and everyone is really respectful. The service was great. Kim did my massage and it was a little to much pressure but I did enjoy the stretching she did on my body. The cherry on top is that they validate for parking.

    Best Korean spa I've been to in LA. Everything was very clean and well maintained -- clay room, salt room, jacuzzis, steam and dry rooms were all spotless. The atmosphere was calm and respectful, and the staff was wonderful. Helen did my scrub and did an excellent job (on the harsher side, which I loved). The gentleman at the front desk was very polite and friendly. I immediately recommended this place to my group chat and will definitely be back. The only thing missing is food options -- hope they add some in the future.

    Enjoyed our birthday treatment. Spa experience was 10/10. Definitely recommend and will be coming back. Cute photo op at the end too

    10/10 amenities! Enjoyed body massage, exfoliant, shampoo and all the other amenities offered at SpaLA. Will be back and definitely recommend!

    A now CO-ED day spa in Koreatown, Spa LA is a large underground jjimjilbang with a bevy of different treatments and saunas. My wife and I visited on a weekday, with the service and sessions being good. Spa LA recently finished a large renovation/expansion resulting in the opening of a co-ed in early 2026. Previously, it was female only, with my wife/daughter coming for a mom/daughter spa day when we were still living in Santa Monica. This time, I wanted to treat my wife to a Simply Classic Body Scrub ($125 for one hour) and Mini Facial ($85 for 30 minutes), booking it on-line. They open at 9:00 am, so figured we could come a bit early for the appointments starting at 10:00. We took the train, and it was an easy walk from Normandie station on the Purple (D) Line. Once entering, the check-in desk is right in front. The attendant could be doing a tour, so need to wait until they come back. There are specials to reduce the price a bit and the knowledgeable front staff (Angela) helped us to apply what was applicable. The main one (follow them on Instagram) was to get 20% off a full facial for my wife, which also resulted in my entrance fee being reduced by half ($50 drops to $25, with wife fee being waived since she was having a treatment). The facial change required changing of the reservation times and esthetician availability, but it was no big deal (so must have good availability of staff for same day changes). You pay first with credit card, allowing a tip to be added later (though like most places, cash is preferred directly to the provider). We were both given locker keys that went around our wrists, and then Angela gave a tour of the underground facilities, focusing on the co-ed sections that I would use. Swimwear is mandatory for the co-ed sections, with the female section being exclusively no-swimwear (provided robes only, and au-naturelle in the spas). I was the only person (besides my wife) using the co-ed facilities during the 4 hours I was there. This meant 1). I could take pictures to post here 2). I could imagine the whole quiet place was mine, definitely making the $25 charge worth it for me. The spa closes at 9 pm, so one could spend the whole day if one want to. The male locker room was a typical set-up, with my locker containing slippers (so no need to bring your own), light robe, and towels. There is a large common area where they intend to put in a light snack bar in the future....for now, it is pretty barren. The centerpiece of the area is a foot-deep waterfall fountain, where you can lounge. I really liked the constant sound of moving water that it produced. There is a very large deep whirlpool and cold/ice water plunge pool (no thx). The steam sauna was fully prepped, with enough steam to make visibility non-existent...I could only last about 4 minutes at a time there. The dry sauna was pleasant, but not particularly hot, with the machine not producing much heat (the controls are out of the customer's hands). There are filtered water stations everywhere, private bathrooms which were nice, and cold water showers to rinse (before and after). Phones ARE allowed, with a decent private Wi-Fi (ask the attendant for the password, since cellular doesn't work down there). My wife went to the female section after checking out the co-ed area, and later told me the female-only area has a lot more facilities/treatments, including many different types of pools: akaline, citrus, mineral. As for the treatments, my wife later told me that both the esthetician (Michelle) and the masseuse (Helen) were very skilled, and took their job very seriously. My wife likes whole body scrubs in general, and knew what to expect. As for the full facial, it ended up being a bit too painful for her, so thinking if she does it again, a mini one would be more appropriate.

I was trying to explain what happened and she basically told me "I don't know what you want me to do about it" with the nastiest attitude. Like excuse me?? I'm coming to you because I have an issue and instead of even trying to help, you're talking down to me and acting like I'm bothering you for doing your job. She kept cutting me off, barely let me explain myself and made it very obvious she did not care. And after seeing other reviews mentioning similar issues with her attitude, I really don't understand how nothing has been done about this. At what point does management actually take these complaints seriously?? Because clearly this is not how you speak to customers. The whole interaction was so disrespectful and unnecessary. I genuinely think management needs to seriously reconsider having Gabby in a customer-facing position because if this is how she speaks to people, she should not be dealing with customers at all. I honestly think she should be fired. I will not be coming back after the way I was treated.

The reasons why I want to update my review: Very relaxing atmosphere -- the center area isn't overly loud. Everything is very clean and well maintained. The skincare products they use feel nicer/better quality than what I've experienced at other spas. I also really appreciate that this is a 12+ facility, so there aren't small children running around. At some other spas, kids can be loud and make it harder to fully relax. Here, the atmosphere is much more peaceful, which makes a big difference when you're coming to relax

The therapists who perform the scrubs are absolutely amazing, and I truly enjoyed the experience. I also really appreciate that they make an effort to keep the atmosphere quiet but they need to do walk throughs . I had to go to front desk 2 times to ask them to ask guest to quiet down. Most recently, I went with my spouse, and we had such a wonderful experience overall. Unfortunately, there was one major issue that really affected our visit: I became very sick with what I believe was food poisoning after eating from their kitchen. I experienced significant symptoms for the next couple of days. I reached out to them regarding what happened and was told someone would follow up with me about how they would address the situation or compensate me for the experience. Unfortunately, I still have not heard back. I genuinely love the spa, the atmosphere, and the services, which is why I hope they will take this situation seriously and follow up with me. I would love to be able to continue recommending this place, but I do feel this issue deserves to be addressed. I spent money for a beautiful peaceful experience to ending it ruined by the food.

    worst massage in town. no lie…read more at least for my experience. i brought my girlfriend here for a couple massage for her birthday. 90 minute couples massage. first five minutes was mild at best. we had to ask them to massage with a little bit more effort. shortly after it was pure sharp elbows, digging into our backs from the weight of their bodies, which overhang above. they use gravity and their elbows in an effort to avoid actually expanding effort or using their muscles at all. i don't know about you, but that's not a massage to me. shortly after i looked over to my side to notice that the man that was massaging, my girlfriend was sitting down on the bed lightly massaging her upper back with no more than a few fingers contact. there was no effort or work there. just sitting lounging doing the absolute minimum contact possible. this was almost the same for me however, my masseuse, also using only one hand, would pause for many seconds at a time before exerting some pressure then again another break of many seconds before pressure again. she was systematically conserving energy and then applying the minimum level of pressure from one hand only. after a couple warnings, she finally started to get that. i am not gonna leave us alone and she started massaging more correctly. then excuse the man who was pretending to massage my girlfriend and replaced him with a woman that was massaging me. then they sent one man to massage me who was lazy and barely doing anything so let him go when they sent him them yet. another one who is doing the same thing. at about 45 minutes i finally told him to leave me alone and just continue with my girlfriend. i don't know how it's possible that others aren't reporting this more often, but i cannot speak on what i do not know but what i do know is if you are sore, tired, and just looking for some muscle, relief and relaxation and you expect some discernible level of quality and effort than do not come here. these people do not care at all about giving you a good experience and i gave them multiple chances they are lazy and do not care about their customers at least not for my girlfriend and i if you doubt me at all, please read my other reviews. i'm very honest in my reviews and i take great care to be fair. and i write these to help others. it certainly doesn't provide me any benefit other than that. thank you for reading and feel free to contact me if you'd like more information

It is a sanctuary amidst the hustle bustle of Los Angeles in Korea town and safely located across from the police station. A plus parking is free in the plaza downstairs. The moment you enter you are greeted by the friendly office manager and you meet store owner Eunice. The hospitality is felt immediately. You are issued a locker and towels with a cute pink robe. You cannot wear bathing suits or shoes, but the robe is what you wear and the spa is so clean and smells amazing inside. They have various rooms such as charcoal clay sauna, infrared sauna, steam room, Himalayan salt room, Himalayan salt bath, cold room, oxygen room, mugwort tea bath where you pour the basin of mugwort tea and drench it over your body in a seated shower section. Mugwort tes smells earthy and helps with skin issues. You can do a body scrub to exfoliate your dead skin and your skin will be amazingly soft and dewy. They use a scrubbing mitten and you can request gentler scrubbing versus a new mitt which will be more firm exfoliating scrub. The massage is 1 hour long and extremely relaxing. You can choose green tea or collagen milk for your massage. The collagen milk left my skin so dewy and soft. In the end they wrap your hair into a cute bun atop your head and wrapped in a cute pink towel. The V steam is something new I never heard of before and tried for first time. You are in a private room and sit on a cushion seat with an circular opening and beneath are herbs heated and you wear a cute cloth robe to absorb the steam over your privates hence V stream -- benefits with cramping, hormones, constipation, fertility, etc They offer a biscuit and tea while you stay in treatment x 30 minutes. If it gets too hot you lift the robe upward and it is cooler for your body. There is an area for food that opens at noon. The menu is a variety like Bimbibap or ginseng chicken soup and more. I will definitely come back to try this eating area. Every room is meticulously designed, clean and relaxing. I felt pampered here and can't wait to return.

From the moment my treatment began, the body scrub attendant's demeanor felt cold and unwelcoming. Her tone of voice came across as harsh, and when she spoke to me, it was loud enough that other guests looked over. Since everyone is undressed during these treatments, that made me feel especially uncomfortable and vulnerable. The body scrub itself was much rougher than I expected. I wasn't asked whether the water temperature was comfortable, and the pressure felt unnecessarily aggressive rather than relaxing. I left feeling more sore than refreshed, which isn't what I expect from a spa treatment. This was also the second month in a row that I was assigned to the same body scrub attendant, even though I've never had her before and had always been treated by someone else in the usual wet room. It struck me as unusual, especially since I had previously noticed her speaking very harshly to other staff members. I'm sharing this feedback in the hope that it's taken constructively. I truly enjoy this spa overall, but I hope more attention is given to making every guest feel comfortable, respected, and cared for during their treatment.
