I love this place it's my go to when I need a massage. $90 for 90 min and I usually bring cash but this time I used my card (paid $95.96). I normally bring a $100 bill and just give that and tell them to keep the change as tip. I took one star off because when I was checking out today I wrote $10 as the tip (which I always do) and the guy, who I think is the owner possibly, looked at me weird and tried to tell me how much a 90 min massage SHOULD be tipped. I don't appreciate that. As someone who's worked as a server, you should NOT tell your customers how much they have to tip and make them feel bad for not tipping what you expect. It just didn't feel nice. The only reason I will keep coming back to this place despite this is because the massage itself is AMAZING. Other than that one time moment, I love this place. Today I had Chunli (i'm sorry if I spelled that wrong) and she was AMAZING. She would check in with me and ask me if I'm okay throughout the session which I appreciated. She hit all the points of my body that really needed attention and it's like she just knew which parts needed extra attention. It was fantastic and I feel so much better afterwards. They use hot stones and a hot towel during the session. The area is very clean and when you enter they give you slides to wear when you walk in. They play calming music in the rooms which is nice. On weekdays (mon-thurs) I've been able to walk in and they can take me. Today is Friday and I had to come in at a certain time for them to take me, so it would be smart to call ahead of time and ask if you can walk in or if you need an appointment. Overall, this place is still a solid go-to for me because the massages are consistently incredible and worth it. One uncomfortable checkout interaction knocked off a star, but the quality of the service keeps me coming back. read more

Cons:Street parking but it's downtown so it's a given, Loud music next door but does not interfere with service Pros: They are absolutely amazing, my shoulder has been hurting for about 2 years and after one session with Kayla who has the most intentional has has relieved my pain from a 7/10 daily to about 2-3/10. I can't thank you guys enough. I'll be seeing you once a week now Many business such as Açaí bowl, steak house name it you are in the epicenter. The owner is amazing and allowed me to have a unique experience which involved cup which is something I will be including into my self care routine Felt safe and comfortable the entire time. read more

When I moved away from NYC I was worried about having to commute into the city to get my deep tissue massage, but luckily I found this place! The area is really cute too, Somerville on Main Street has a bunch of places you can eat and walk around. I digress, the massage place, it's clean, no frills, legitimate massage place. I always get the the deep tissue Asian style, where they focus on acupressure points. It's not the most comfortable because they are working out the knots, but that's not on them, that's on me cause I'm terrible with stretching and stressed out all the time lol. Make sure that you communicate to your masseuse how much pressure you want or not, they can easily change this up based on your needs. Personally I like a very deep tissue, I can hear the knots being worked on, sounds almost like clicking, and the hot towel treatments are great too! I am so happy I found this place, and they are very reasonable prices. Make sure you tip well they really do a thorough job of working on the knots! read more

Been coming here for 7 or so years and they do a great job and massaging and loosening tension! I weight lift 4-5x a week and they do a great job at re-aligning me and helping with the stiffness in my joints! Even my hips! Def recommend read more

Had a great experience here. I had a 90 minute, high pressure sports style massage with the owner. I was impressed by his ability to apply a lot of pressure and relieve areas of tightness without the massage becoming painful. The faculty itself is incredibly clean and well maintained. It doesn't feel like a cheap massage parkour at all. They also have a great loyalty program - by 10 get one free! I'll definitely be back read more

Stopped in for a couples message. Hubby decided full body, I chose reflexology. It was horrible, was just a rub down!! Hubby had a good full body. I was disappointed as my person asked me to sleep and relax realizing she was giving me a reflexology with one hand from knee and lower while her other hand was on her cell phone... and paid same price as a full body message ~ should of debated but didn't.. just won't go back !! read more

This is by far the best massage I've ever received. Their masseuse's have incredible techniques for deep tissue massage to address your whole body. The cozy clean space with candles and gentle music playing was all so relaxing. I recommend following the deep tissue with the hot stone massage and facial. I assure you you'll feel like a new person walking out, it's reasonably priced and you're better health is worth it! I'll keep coming back to Sunrise! read more

My first experience was promising. This time around was a bit disappointing. I think there is a new guy who was hired. They suggested that I try a "man" as it would be a "better massage." I've had many massages before and this one felt very disorganized and felt off in terms of pressure. Then they switched off in between massages-- it ended up with a more experienced lady. At the end when I went to pay, I ended up giving a 15% tip. I gave a 20% tip prior but this was not a good one at all. I honestly did not want to even give a tip at all-- it was one of the worst massages I've gotten. But I thought that I should be nice as this is their livelihood and that it is the holidays. I had the card stamped where if you get 10, you'll get the 11th free. But then the lady who I believe was the owner then commented on my tip as "that's it?" She then proceeded to say that they can't honor the 11th free one any more, and that it would end at the end of the year. Regardless, I was a bit disappointed and was put off. I don't think I will be going back again. read more

Great location, clean space, and the masseuses know what they're doing! I have chronic neck/shoulder pain and hold a lot of tension in those areas. I like going here because I need a lot of pressure applied, and they're very skilled so I don't worry about them hitting the wrong spot while using so much strength (that would be painful). I'm shocked that a 60 minute massage here is only $49.99, it's an amazing deal for the service. read more

Called and requested appointment. They call me back to confirm. Arrived and got on table only to be told 40 min wait or " maybe you come back?" Most unprofessional massage appointment ever! I have been before and massage was mediocre at best. Thought I give them another chance. Do your self a favor and go for a better massage with more professional service else where! read more

Sunrise Massage Therapy - Entrance - Massage Near Me - Somerville, New Jersey

Waited until I visited for the 2nd time to post a review. I wasn't disappointed. Masseuse got all the knots and kinks out of my back, neck, and shoulders. She made sure I was comfortable and and asked for input about pressure during my service. Left feeling relaxed and much less stressed. And while this is a no frills kind of place it was nice not to have someone shove a package down my throat when I was checking out. It's a little hidden gem! read more

I have been coming here for sometime and I like the genuine and authenticity of this place. They are understanding of the concerns and take extra care to address. It's a wonderful place with good vibes. Must try if you happen to be in the area read more

I have been a customer of Sunrise Massage for over 7 years. It is a total class operation and has been from the beginning and still is even with the new owner. I remember coming here a few times when they were so busy, the owner called her friend Gui Ying to come down from her own spa in Highland Park to help out. The environment is clean and the masseuses are professional and take pride in delivering a deep pressure therapeutic massage. They can also give you a pressure point massage as well. Immaculately clean spa. All the towels and linens are clean and changed after every customer. My wife, first visited this spa and then recommend it to me. Friends at work and church also frequent Sunrise Massage and all have had good things to say about their massage experience. For sure, the previous reviewer has Sunrise mixed up with another spa. I highly recommend Sunrise to anyone looking for a quality massage. read more

It was a first time For me and I will be back. The lady was good with her fingers. I fell asleep read more

Excellent experience. 90 minute massage booked the day before. Parked across the street (behind the Korean restaurant). Will definitely be back, have the loyalty card! :-) read more

I don't like writing reviews but I had one of the worst massages ever. Started off ok and then quickly went downhill. First, the room has thin walls causing loud music from next door to be in your ear. Second, the pace of the massage was very rushed and lacked attention to detail (elbow pressure missing its intended spot and instead went directly onto my spine.) Also, she left the room a few times - once to attend to a walk-in customer and another time to shout out instructions to someone in the back. She didn't bother making up the lost time. Won't be back. read more

The owner of the place is a great masseuse! The only issue with this place is ... there's not enough masseuses working! It's sometimes really hard to book an appointment which is why I'm taking away 1 star read more

This place is amazing value - $50 for a 60 minute massage! (if you pay cash, that is) I have notoriously tense shoulders, and my masseuse worked out my knots from a particularly stressful week. She made sure to ask whether the pressure was alright, and she was very responsive to my feedback. My only regret is not going to them more during my time in the area. As always, please tip your masseuse. I recommend budgeting at least $60 total for this experience - it is well worth the price! read more

Jenny has returned! I had been going to this establishment for several years until Jenny moved to a different place. I was happy to hear that Jenny has returned and I am again enjoying her excellent massage here at this location. read more

Lily is awesome. Great price, convenient hours. I get massages often. I am back and fourth between NJ and Cincinnati. When I am in NJ this is my place. Thanks so much read more

Came in as a walk in on the day of so that really convenient. A simple no frills massage parlor that doesn't try too hard at being a spa and just gives you what you want...a great massage that leaves you feeling better than how you cane and wanting to come back. read more

Been there twice now, over the last couple of weeks. Very happy both times - accupressure technique delivered by skilled therapists, really gets to the point! A definite step up compared with the big chain massage places which I have been to many times (but wont be going back now that I've found this place). I like firm / deep pressure massages and they dont disappoint. Employees are nice, friendly. Massage technique is top-notch. Very reasonable pricing. Highly recommend this place. Great Job Sunrise! read more

we got massage today, and its not good as last time. the lady is just to busy going outside and didn't do what she doing on my opposite side. lastly they ask for extra tip! tip is good if you work for it. read more

I've had over 25 masseuses spanning six countries and Juliet is among the best. She could feel which muscles needed help...was sensitive to what level of firmness I wanted...although from China her English is very qood (14 yrs in the U.S.). The facilities were good. Price at $50 is reasonable. Note to first timers...these ladies typically work for just tips. Don't tip 15%, but rather $10 is you're basically and $20 if delighted. This is their sole income so treat them well if you're happy. read more

I never had a massage before and didn't know anything about it! She was amazing! I was very tense and my back was hurting before I went in and she took out the knots, she went over them like 10 times, so she knew what she was doing and didn't just skip past it. The best part is that she asked if I wanted medium or hard pressure! I said medium because I'm small, and it hurt but it felt good at the end ! So that's good! Honestly she gave a better massage then my boyfriend hahaha! Well worth the money and I tipped her well! Now I just have to drink plenty of water to get my toxins out! read more

Amazing massage with Mandy today, an hour of REAL reflexology for $50 - I feel amazing, the treatment was spot on, and everyone was so friendly. If you are looking to waste your money and spend $120 so you get a cup of tea and a standard massage skip it. If you want a GREAT massage in a clean and friendly no frills place that actually helps how you feel then go here. Highly recommended. Bring cash of you can and tip well at this price was happy to give $20! read more

The massage was OK but the the massage therapist did some strange things. She pulled on my fingers until they "popped" which is not a pleasant sensation. The staff doesn't speak much English but the owner knew enough to ASK for a tip before I had a chance to pull out my wallet. I don't like that and I won't go back. read more

I had the worst massage of my life here, I had to keep instructing the lady how to massage as she was clueless. She left me for 5 mins to answer someone at the door but never made up for that time. The thing that pissed me off the most was when she demanded a 20% tip for doing a horrible job. Never returning back here! Wasted my money and time. read more

I went here with my boyfriend last night, it was his first massage so I was really excited for him. I was disappointed to find that each massage room does not have an actual door, but a curtain, so noise carries when people are talking or walking in. Overall I found the massages to be "ok" - teh music was not therapeutic but was soft and not disruptive. The bed and sheet looked clean, the masseuse's were both very pleasant though nether spoke a lot of English (not a problem for a massage!) but minor commands like when to roll over etc, were harder and took away from the overall experience. Some elements of the massage were great and very relaxing, and some were cringe-worthy painful. My boyfriend had to ask the masseuse to go softer at one point because he was so uncomfortable. At the end of the massage he got up and asked if he was supposed to feel sore. pro: Clean, Inexpensive, Available Appointments/walk-ins welcome con- not therapeutic or catered to individual needs, actual massage not wonderful Overall a mixed experience here, and not somewhere I will return to, read more

I have to get back to this place!, this was hands down thee best back massage ever!! place is very clean (parking in back), I had a hour massage and she worked the knits out of my back she sis so well that my nose got stuffy ( a sign that the toxins in the muscle s released and are working out of the body), so make sure you drink plenty of water after ( the rest of the day and after to flush the toxins out), btw the lady was very friendly with small talk she was very caring to me she asked a few questions before getting started and only when she felt very tight knots she asked about the pressure I preferred read more

Had a really great experience at this no frills massage center. Lili asked me what areas were bothering me, noticed that I was nervous (I don't get massages often), and confirmed what type of pressure I am comfortable with. She was incredible and the price is right! I left there feeling totally relaxed and like my problem areas were targeted. I slept like a baby that night as well! read more

I have a bad back and have had many massages. Juila gives on of the best massages I have ever had. She asks where you are hurting and takes the pain away. This is the type of place to go if you have an issue. They answer the phone during your massage but the massage is so good you don't care. Plus it's $40. If you are looking for aroma therapy or fru fru nonsense this is not your place. If you are looking to get your body back this is your place! read more

My girlfriend and I were 15 minutes late mainly because we got a little lost. We both got 60 min massages for $50 each. It was fantastic! My masseuses was Tina and she gives a mean deep tissue. Very professional, she even stepped out to cough a few times which I highly appreciated because I hate the thought of getting sick over germs. & the phone rang and she asked me if she could pick up! which was nice of her instead of just ignoring me and answering mid massage. You are better off paying CASH because its tax free. It's decent quality service for the prices they charge so giving a good tip is important. To make things short & easy I left my wedding band (3 rings) and watch in the room and left, I called them an hour later and returned to pick my things up. A professional and honest business is important to me and that definitely sealed the deal for me. I will be going back soon! (once done with the back massage they use a warm/steamed towel and rum you down) it feels amazing! Parking is only available outside & you don't pay meter Saturday & Sundays. read more

This place was aweful. A massage should be relaxing and this was far from relaxing. There was no music planning for the first 25 minutes of my massage, the lady that was conducting my massage was talking to another lady in their language. The massage was painful and my shoulders are in so much pain. I think I have inner bruising. Then leaving this place I didn't want to tip and the women gave me a hard time and even came chasing after me down the road n grabbed me cause she wanted a tip. I'm sorry but tips are optional based on the service received. read more

My daughter and I had a couples massage today for $50 each and it was equivalent to top spas. The atmosphere is not fancy, you will not get a bathrobe and have a relaxing sitting area. However, having a conveniently-located spa with good service and amazing pricing gives it five stars. read more

I love this place! As a busy, working, mom of two, who lives in this town, I run in here once a month or so to relax for an hour and have my sore, tense body renewed! Always professional, reasonably priced, and nice; I highly recommend them! read more

So good! Great massage. The masseuse delivered an outstanding, deep tissue massage, easily worth twice the price. Often, I can't find a masseuse to press hard enough. Juliet prefers to give deep tissue massages, but was careful to ask if the pressure was to much. I will go back again. No other place comes close in the area. read more

I was very unhappy with my massage today at Sunrise. I made appointments for a friend and I for 2:00 pm. We arrived at 1:55 pm to be told the appointments were set for 6:00 pm. She said we could come back at 3:00 pm. We came back at 3:00 pm and requested several times to have a 1 hour body massage and a 1/2 hour of reflexology a total of 90 minutes. During the massage the person doing the massage answered the phone 3 times and stopped the massage to greet someone that walked through the front door. We did not receive a half hour of reflexology. We received a 5 minute foot massage. I do not believe they know what reflexology is even though it is offered. read more

Absolutely Fantastic. I am no stranger to massage parlors & I have to say, Sunrise Massage Therapy is the real deal. Lei Lei, who I now call my massage therapist was quick to determine & address other part's of my body that are strained that take the slack of past injuries. In that 1st session I found myself safe & comfortable with her. However she has to position herself to get to "that muscle or joint that eases the pain & tension" is fine by me. She is definitely a professional masseuse with one goal in mind that is to make clients feel at ease & to receive the relief we came for. I never feel gipped, I get my complete 1hr. If the phone rings or she has to step away I'm ok with that. I get my complete hour. After 4 sessions, I feel as though my body is aligned, I'm more calm, I breathe better, & more energy to. For me, it's the best medicine. I think Lei Lei knows my body better than me. LOL... Totally satisfied. I'll keep coming back. read more

Needed a massage for a long time and remembered this place in Somerville after a visit to the mall. I am a large man and required a deep therapeutic massage. I was fortunate to get Julia and she gave one of the ( if not the best) best massage with back walk bodywork I have ever had. Her ability to feel for restriction and use her toes/foot position was incredible. I am a highly respected chiropractor and known for my soft tissue work and ability. In addition I have uptrained over a dozen very talented massage therapists to work within my facilities in the past. Julia has a true gift and cares about her work. If you are looking for deep muscle work...see Julia. read more
