I've been spatchcocked! This massage was all knuckles and elbows, seeking the most tender and painful nooks in each joint, each vertebrae. I've had a lot of massages. I lived in China and have been to several tuina joints in NYC. This was the most intense massage I've ever had. I asked twice for her to lighten up but I don't think she was capable. Even after my leg seized up in cramps. I actually think that made her go in deeper! If you like firm massages, this place is for you. If you're hoping to relax a bit, not so much. read more

This place is great. I came as a walk in on a Saturday morning. It's a small place with very comfortable massage beds separated by curtains. I got a 60 minute deep tissue massage and 10 minutes of reflexology. Not much background noise, although I did hear someone burping lol. I asked for a male masseuse, and the guy I got was very strong and extremely skilled. He even incorporated some light stretching. My only real complaints are the amount of time spent massaging me over the towel feeling kind of long, and that he didn't have me turn over to massage me while I was on my back. Just a note, the Yelp check in for 5% off only applies if you pay with cash, and there is no ATM on site. I came in with soooo much tension and feel awesome now. I'll definitely be back. read more

Sunshine Best Body Work - Massage Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

Ive been going to sunshine on and off for about 15 years, and since i moved a bit closer about 10 years ago, i've been taking my sorry back in about every 4-6 weeks. that's many visits over the years! Knocking off one star from an otherwise rock solid 5 due to some small things: * There is one 1-star review that recently got posted in which the yelper says she was recorded during the massage w/o her consent. This yelper has no other reviews or connections on Yelp and may not be legit/ may be a competitor, or she may be a real person whose privacy was violated. I can't tell, but if she's real, this is a huge flag worth noting. * It's low frills. If you don't know that going in, you may be disappointed. Part of my reason for posting this review is to let folks know what to expect so that you won't be disappointed. "Low frills" = booths, not rooms- you will hear your neighbors breathing and sighing, and you will hear the reception person answering the phone and scheduling appointments. Sometimes you will hear the toilet flush. No impact on stars, but things you should know: Sometimes people don't realize that there is a pricing difference for cash vs card- they incentivize cash w a discount. Don't expect the discount if you're paying w a card. The fees they have to pay are in the price charged to cc customers. They prefer tips in cash. That is common in the industry, b/c tips that are paid by credit card get taxed, meaning the workers get less. If you must tip by card, tip extra high. Areas where they really EARN their stars: * the massages. I've been going there for yeaaaars and had many different staff over the years, and they've all offered so much relief. Most of the masseuses have read my body really well- whether I'm going in just feeling exhausted and run-down, whether i have tension from sitting too much to hit my deadlines for work, or whether I'm nursing an injury or strain from exercise or sports, they just know what to do, every time. Once i went in after not having been in for a few months due to deadlines and work commitments, and the stress in my body was so crazy-- the guy put his hands on my neck and then said "oh my god!" -- and rearranged the table so he could get more traction and apply more force. He used physics and gravity as much as his hands that day, and i am *still* grateful. Migraine? Hangover? Shoulder pull? Half-marathon muscle fatigue? Painful workload causing tension in body and brain? Whatever i have gone in there carrying, they have sorted out. 15 years or relief, my friends. 15! * lymphatic massage option. This is a little more expensive and i don't always get this, but it's been helpful during allergy seasons where I'm feeling congested and muggy inside. Also helpful - at least for me- after I've had a week with too much rich food or alcohol (holidays, weddings, graduations etc). Women, please note: there is a focus on frontal contact for a lymphatic massage- there is energy directed to heart and to belly. They also get into your armpit lymph nodes a bit. if you're hypersensitive or ticklish or shy about sternum/chest work, you should know this before you book a lymphatic treatment. * pricing. Their prices are incredible for what you get. They've raised prices a bit over recent years b/c of the insane cost of living and MTA fare hikes over recent years, and I've heard some grumbling about that, but come on, people. Nyc is expensive and they need to be able to live here, too. The value is still incredible. As i mentioned before, cash is cheaper; cash tips are strongly preferred. * scheduling & availability. They work hard to accommodate you, whether you call ahead or are going in as a walk-in (I'm usually staggering in as a walk-in unless i specifically want a lymphatic massage- i call ahead for those so they can get the right person in). If you walk in and they don't have enough people to get you in right away, they call someone in from one of their nearby locations and can usually get you into a booth within 10 minutes. The only time they can't accommodate right away is if their booths are filled- peak times, as far as I've observed, are about 5-8pm on weeknights and weekends about 12-8, though sometimes couples book couples massages on weekends and it can stay busy until about 9. Idk, there are lusher places, and there are similar or lower-frills places - there are a lot of options out there. But Sunshine is the one i choose, and which i have chosen more often than not for the last 15 years. I recommend them to anyone who uses Qi gong tui na massage work to take care of themselves on an "ongoing maintenance" type schedule. No, you don't get lavender oils and cucumber slices or a room all to yourself, but yes, you will get a great massage at a price tag that you might be able to afford more regularly. Hope that helps, and regardless of where folks end up going, i hope you find relief. read more

PLEASE BE AWARE: I was secretly filmed by a male member of staff during my massage at Sunshine Best Bodywork. This was my regular massage location (the Park Slope AND Williamsburg location). I have been maybe 5x in total. During the massage I hear the sound of video recording and look up to see his phone on the shelf above. When my boyfriend and I confronted him, he tried to leave, then was on his phone quickly swiping through videos and images to delete what he had recorded of me. I demanded to look through his phone but by the time I had his phone he had deleted it. I did check his hidden folder and it was full of screenshots of massage porn as well as massage photos / videos at the massage parlour. The other staff tried to say he was listening to music but he did not have headphones in. I reported it to the police and there is an ongoing investigation. If you have been massaged by a male member of staff at this business and something untoward happened then I'd encourage you to speak to the police too. The police confirmed that this was the second report of this happening in park slope in the last month (at another location) but this is a real issue happening. Be aware and find another location with certified massage therapists. I will not make the same mistake read more

5/5 WOW! I was around the corner getting my toes done (already treating myself) and thought wow, why not go all the way and get a massage too? I found this spot through Yelp and wowwowowow I'm so glad I decided to go. The spot is small so don't be shocked! I think there's like rooms in like a 600 sq ft small area divided by curtains - you can hear everything going on and while I was getting my massage, in the next "room" I could feel the masseuse walking around because my feet would brush up against their body as they were passing by. But the beds and rooms are super clean and the best part is, they don't play terrible, loud "spa music" that a lot of these no-frills massage spots play. I asked for someone strong and they put me with Jim. He should change his name to Jesus because I saw the light. Maybe because it hurt like hell or maybe because right afterwards, I felt like a NEW NEW person. I'm not going to lie to you, it hurt like hell though. But I knew I needed it - I hate going into one of these spots and you ask for them to get your knots and go hard but it feels like they are massaging you with tiny Trump hands. Jim focused on the areas I requested, calves and shoulders and today, the next day, my calves have never felt so relieved. My shoulders are still tender but in the good, kinks-and-knots-are-out kind of way. Wow I'm definitely coming back here. I've been hitting a few of the newer massage spots on Smith but I never felt leaving the way I wanted to. But that was before I met Jim. Jim changed me. I'll be back! Thanks, Jim! read more

There are the best I go there for many years and always best body work Stay late for us and clean Thank you read more

The 60 minute massage (45 min body + 15 min foot) exceeded my expectations! The beginning massage was a simple massage and then the deep massage/pain begins afterwards. I had very bad back ache and the male masseuse relieved the tension. He spent more time on my back area which i appreciated. The foot massage was wonderful! I do a lot of walking and I have plantar fascitis and the foot massage helped relieved the pain/tension. Overall, excellent 1 hour massage! The massage beds was very comfortable and the place was clean. read more

Favorite massage place ever. I see Ruby about once a month (wish I had time to visit more frequently). I get a one-hour full body lymphatic drainage body massage, plus an additional thirty-minute foot massage for less than $90 if paying cash (before tip, of course). Ruby knows my body better than I do! Truly the best. Way better than massages I've gotten at bougie spas for like $150+, and I LIVE off of massages. I live in Bed-Stuy about thirty mins away, but I'd travel a few hours to get a massaged here :) "Sunshine Best Body Work" is the perfect name; def my happy place. read more

I just went here for the first time after reading so many great reviews. This is not your typical massage place. Very low key, tiny curtained off rooms and no frills. You can hear the people in the next "room," the numerous cell phones that people forgot to turn off, the credit card machine and even some noise from outside. The music is very low so you may want headphones or earplugs if you're bothered by it. The massage was very good. Out of my 60 min, 55 was pure pain. I felt like I went through the meat grinder, but it was worth it. After I walked out of my "room" I accidentally walked into someone else's curtain. Be aware that may happen to you in you're in one of the back 2 rooms. They face each other and you have to leave through corner. I used the 5% yelp coupon which saved me about $3.75 in a 60 min massage. You have to use cash if you want the discount. After paying, I have my girl the $5 cash I had left in my wallet for a tip. She gave it back to me and asked for 20%. I was really surprised but decided to hand over my credit card for a $10 tip. If she didn't refuse my $5 cash tip, I would have rated 5 stars. read more

Great massage! This place is no frills but the price is right and the quality is great. The decor is very nice, full of Asian influence. I Will definitely be back. read more

My go-to massage spot in BK. I have probably had 20 massages here over 5 years...with a breakdown of: 5 sensational 10 really good 3 standard 2 bummer, a bit disappointed (2 of 20? Ok, i'm cool with it. I was coming from high expectations) Truly, I've had so many different people work on me here but their training is great. Rather than telling them where to work on, the first 10mins works as a kind of diagnostic period that determines the time & treatment for the remaining time. For the most part they have nailed it in focusing on my problem areas for that given day without needing direction. Bonus: If you get really lucky on a really ouchy post-sport dying kind of day, you might get the man I call "The Giver Of Pain". You'll die. You'll tap out (I actually did). You'll regret ever saying "you can go harder". Then it will be over, and you'll reflect on the fact you've never been turned into a pretzel like that in a massage before. Nothing hurts anymore. You're limber. Agile. Life is good, possibly perfect. read more

Pro tip: If you're planning on going out dancing all night, make sure you save $35 for a foot massage at this place the next day. The massage was fantastic. I actually feel like a new person. A nice gentleman massaged me and he was very good. A little too much pressure at first, but I'm a big believer that, when it comes to massages, the masseuse can't read minds. Better to try to communicate with them a little and make the experience better for everyone. Otherwise, you're just laying there in pain and wasting both of your time. Yes, they are Chinese here, but I find that typically they can understand enough English, especially words that relate to their vocation. Customer service was great as well. I was greeted and sent away with all smiles. The facility was clean and I was able to get in for a massage immediately without an appointment. This place is actually located on my block, and I'm so happy that it's there. I will definitely be back. read more

There are many massage saps around but this spa has been there for more than 19 years for reasons. One of the reasons is that most of the technicians have worked there for many years. The owner must have treated the employees well and fair as this kind of business has high turnover. You may find a little cheaper spa, but I bet, you will have hard time to find better value for your money in this neighborhood. read more

I've come to this place twice and plan to come back again. I have worked with Coco both times and hope to continue to see her. Not only is she very precise with her work, she seems to have a great sense of awareness when it comes to tighter spots on your body. Both experiences were similar in that she makes time for the entire body, but different in that she notices what spots are holding more tension and spends more time on those areas. As a part time student, part time physiotherapy assistant, and part time personal trainer, I also have a good understanding of the body and what works best for musculoskeletal relief. Coco knows exactly how to apply pressure from origin to insertion of the muscle, applies the right amount of pressure, and knows how to rotate your shoulder in order to access the deep muscles within the shoulder blade. She notices when I am particularly ticklish or tender and will adjust her pressure accordingly, and I really appreciate that. The place itself is small and by the street, so if your appointment is close to when school ends you will hear children laughing and playing, but the service is still five stars. You also may hear a snore or sniffle from your neighbor because everybody is so relaxed coming here! If I had more clients in Brooklyn, I would refer them here. Overall I would highly recommend Coco and her team, and hope to bring my boyfriend and my parents when they come to visit. read more

Do yourself a favor and go to Sunshine Best and get Tui-Na from Lisa. I have had a lot of massages, and I hardly ever review anything on here. But I had to. This was hands down the best massage I have had. I want and ask for hard massages. And that is exactly what you'll get. She really goes to work, and 2 times I almost had to "tap-out" bc. she was really digging into the knots in my back and shoulder. Prepare to breathe deeply & get through it. Remember the relief afterward was worth all the pain ;) read more

I've had massages all over NYC and Amy and Jenny here are really the best ! Thank you so much ladies ! Love this place

They don't have private rooms. 5 beds available and are sectioned by dressing shades & curtains. Relatively quiet however you'll occasionally hear patrons walking in and out since the place is small & the lady at the desk collecting money for the service. Other than that, the massage is great and you'll get a little hot stone massage at the end to help soothe the massage. Male or female masseuse available. Make an appt, it's always busy. However, they do take walk-ins but you'll have to wait. 15 mins $18 30 mins $35 45 mins $45 60 mins $55 90 mins $80 30 min foot reflexology $35 read more

I had such a great massage here. It was just what I was looking for -- hard enough to get to my knotty places but gentle enough not to leave me feeling hurt! Definitely recommend this place! read more

Lied to me and said 5 min, then kicked me out and told me to come back in an hour. Terrible customer service!

I gave this place another shot and had a significantly better experience. My massage was firm without being excruciating and did a good job getting my knots worked out. The space is small but clean. I saw the staff changing out the sheets and towels after each person's visit, so that was comforting. The massage tables also have memory foam toppers on them, which makes them delightfully comfortable to lay on and also helps prevent you from having an awkward red circle on your face when you finally get up. Seems like they're pretty consistently busy these days, so make an appointment if you don't want to be waiting for a while. read more

I went to this massage place yesterday and while she giving massages I was up side down and masseuse was using her feet on my neck to give massages and I felt really weird. Then I asked her about it and she replied that " because people neck has tighter mussel that's why I use my feet"and getting her feet on my neck doesn't feel comfortable at all. Also I paid for 60 minutes massage but 45 minutes later masseuse was like ok your time is done, and I would like to say I went there to feel relax by massage and thought it would be quite but during the massage she was talking whole time with another masseuse in different language, which definitely did not make me feel relaxed and that's not because of the different language but because of the sounds and talking while I was having massage which is really annoying. I feel really disappointed to go to this place, Waste of my time and money. read more

It's easy to walk to and from if you're traveling from the Atlantic avenue station. This place is a small intimate spot. The only thing that separates you from the next person is a curtain. If you don't mind noise here and there. This is the place for you. If this is your first deep tissue massage I recommend booking one hour first and then the more you come back you can book how ever long you'd like. I do wish she'd consulted me on area where I was feeling pain before jumping right in but she did get the job done. For anyone concerned about pain during and after, this is normal but do be vocal if it does get too intense. You are working out your body and with any workout it's better to start off slow than going all in on your first try. read more

As someone who is a bit of a massage junkie, I don't think I've had a better massage anywhere in the world. I've been going for about four years now, once a month. Every time I go, I get an excellent deep-tissue massage by clearly well trained staff, both male and female. I've gone when I've had a slipped disc and I've gone when I've just needed a relaxing massage from back stress. Whatever the reason, the massages are first rate and the rates are extraordinarily reasonable. The atmosphere is not entirely what you'd expect, but don't let that stop you. The "rooms" are separated by curtains, like in a hospital. You can hear the person next to you whispering "thank you!" and you can hear when people come in and out of the shop or when the phone rings. But there's relaxing music and it all fades away when the hot stones are rubbed up and down your sore back, leave you quivering like jelly. One general tip: i think it's a good idea to give your masseur or masseuse feedback, whether it's too light or too hard or just right. They are not mind-readers! Help them help you. I highly recommend Tom, Jim, and Jason. read more

Fantastic massage. Clean, quiet and excellent bodywork. I would highly recommend this joint! Relaxation awaits you! Ahhhhhh

This review is long overdue! Sunshine is my go-to Chinese massage spot in the neighborhood. Like most Chinese massage places, it is affordable with no frills, and it gets all your knots out. They also include hot stone in every massage. While all of their massage therapists have been great, my favorite is Nancy. I always feel like I'm walking on clouds after a session with her. Thank you for all the great massages! read more

I did not enjoy the 2 massages that I booked. The first time I thought it was an off day for them but the 2nd visit confirmed that it's just not a good fit for me. The customer service was good but the massages not so much. I had to keep reminding the gentleman to ease off, he was very rough and had long nails which scratched my back. read more

The best massage in Park Slope! I live here almost 20 years and I tried many places, probably most. This place is not fancy but it's always clean and with fresh soft linens. I get a great massage every time no matter who I go to, every masseuse is great. I've been coming here for the past almost 8 years. It's affordable so you can get strong massage for an hour or even 2. I come in exhausted, tight and with knots and leave refreshed and light. My favorite masseuse is Vanessa. She discovers every knot and is incredibly strong. If you are into deep tissue massage she is the one to ask for. read more

Nice massage store with couple of flexible options or combination. Decent deep tissue massage better than just rubbing the surface. Could relax and be refreshed from top to toe when the procedures are done. Highly recommended to busy and hard working New Yorkers and long walking travel tourists. 60 minutes at least body work is highly recommended, well worthy it. Will come back again, better than the massage using the electric massage chair at home. read more

I was surprised by how good this place was. I've tried other massage places, but none has come close. My body felt so much better after a massage here. It's definitely a lot of pressure, but that's my preference read more

Great place to get a deep tissue massage that is painful, but in a good way! All my knots were gone the next day :-) also I like that you can just do 30 minutes or less if you'd like. read more

I book an appointment for myself and my husband for a massage. I was actually looking for more of a body rub with a lot of focus of feet. On the phone a woman told me that it's going to be an hour and it will be also a foot rub... Took husband for what I though was going to be a relaxing massage... well, we left feeling beat up, we got the deep tissue massage. The next day was really rough, we were super sore. Don't make that same mistake and choose appropriate option for yourself. Next time I'll know better but for what it was I think it was great. Staff was super nice and very polite. Also, remember to let whoever is massaging you know of any health problems. I don't think you have to make an appointment so that's always good. read more

I wear combat boots. I don't own a single piece of gold jewelry I have one handbag. I haven't had anything "waxed" in my entire life. All these details should let you know, that I am probably the world's most low maintenance woman ever. People like me would never dream of spending a lot of money on a "spa experience". Thankfully, through a tip from a workout buddy, I was told to go get a massage here to resolve some issues I got from strength training. This place is EXACTLY what you were looking for if you just wanted a really good massage, for relatively cheap, without the bells, whistles, and costly extras that come from those "Barbie Spa" type places. No. No one is giving you a seaweed facial. There aren't rose petals on the message tables. There is not one scented candle to be found. No one is telling you what lotions to use to get rid of your cankles. If you want that go pay, 800 dollars for your Barbie Spa experience. At Sunshine, you get a really good back, leg and foot massage done on a clean table, with no frills white sheets. The "room" is actually a little booth sectioned off by a room divider made of rice paper. There is no mood lighting and you can hear every whisper and moan from your neighbors. These things won't bother you 15 minutes into your massage when the capable hands of Steven or one of the others is manipulating your sore tissues into ecstasy. 1 hour costs you about 55$ Its worth every penny. Ask for Steven. Use the money you saved not going to the Barbie Spa, on another handbag, or in my case, on my Student Loans. read more

Owwwwwwww! I have had tui na sessions for over 20 years. I went to Sunshine based on the reviews. I'm pretty sure that I am headed to 8 weeks of physical therapy. My masseuse seemed to concentrate on bone rather than muscle. Yeah, I was pretty tight so maybe she couldn't tell the difference. Not. The session was excruciating, not in the good way. The open door was about 8 feet from my bare butt on a 50 degree day. I was in serious pain for 2 days. Couldn't go to the gym for a week. And now have developed what feels suspiciously like a pinched nerve in my spine. Hard to walk upright more than 10'. There has GOT to be a better tui na experience in Brooklyn. Stay away!! The 1 star is because I can't post negative stars. read more

Disappointing. I forewent my normal Chinese massage place, Relaxing on Smith, in lieu of Sunshine because it was closer. Big mistake. While they were able to take me right away, the massage was half %$# and not worth my time. First of all the place is tiny, the little stalls separated by white cloth even tinier, and there are 2-3 staff sitting in the front, stage-whispering the entire time. It's really distracting. I have very achey shoulders & neck and asked the masseuse to focus on those, but she did not respond. The main point of going to a Tui Na place is to get a really firm pressure massage! This was so light it was like a bad aromatherapy massage. I asked her "can you please go harder" and she didn't respond and did nothing. (Language barrier?) I asked again a few minutes later and she said "no hard?" and then went even more softly! So I decided to suck it up and just get out of there as soon as possible. Every time she went near a knot or pressure point she backed off entirely- so frustrating! So I made the mistake of asking one more time, and she made a noise of exasperation and uttered a long string of what sounded like fightin words in Chinese. Then finally she went a bit harder, but only in spots where it doesn't feel good- and with the point of her elbow- in my side/ribs, inside of my upper arm, etc. Vengeance. For the remaining half hour of the massage she just raked her knuckles back and forth on my back as hard as she could. Awful. But I couldn't say anything because she already hated me. read more

Shady business practices: After reading great reviews of this place here, I decided to go for it. The actual massage was pretty good, painful at times, but maybe that's what my knots needed. The hot stones at the end were nice. Then the up-sell comes: the woman says, "your 60 minutes are up, would you like a foot massage for 15 more minutes ($15 more)?). Begrudgingly, I agreed. Since she hadn't done my feet yet, what was I going to say? :-) Then I go to pay, and I hand her $80 for the $70 bill. I told her to keep the change, thinking I was being magnanimous. She kind of pushes the $10 back and tells me, "we only accept 20% tip." Huh?! I stood there dumbfounded. I didn't want to make a scene since there are other customers there getting massages behind their flimsy little screens. But at that point I should have just taken my change and walked out. So I ask her to clarify. Three times. Yes, she says, I have to pay $14 more. 20% tip. Mandatory. So somehow a $55 massage turned into an $84 massage. Not cool. If you want to charge more, go ahead - but for that price, I can get a better massage with privacy in a better environment. Not recommended to support this kind of business practice. read more

Been getting massages for decades, and this unassuming place tops the list. Jaden was amazing. He found every ache and pain, and in a combination of strength and gentleness, he soothed them away. I can't wait to return. read more

I opened the door, sat down and was greeted by someone's bare ass being kneaded. The masseuse was too busy trying to see who was coming in because there was no receptionist, so the customer's curtain was pretty open. This place has partitions, not walls, which is par for the course for a $55 one-hour massage. But the space is so small that there is no privacy and you hear everything. My masseuse just couldn't get the pressure right and basically outlined my bones, which hurt. Alternately, she just rubbed in lotion. I guess I was ashy. *Shrugs.* Then she broke out these stones that felt like they had been heated in the bowels of hell by Hades himself. I hadn't asked for a hot-stone massage, but I guess it was my lucky day. Ouch! She stopped during my massage at one point to chitchat with another masseuse, yelling in Mandarin or Cantonese the whole time. I got up exasperated and she then apologized. I almost gagged when I flipped over and saw the pillow she had used to prop up the back of my head. It was dingy and uncovered. The bathroom was gross and had some type of machine (I have no idea what purpose it served) in between the toilet and the sink, further cramping the small space. I went home and bathed with Hibiclens. Yep, I'm a mild hypochondriac; it was totally warranted this time! To be fair, I went here on Valentine's Day. I can only assume the day was hella busy for them, but I won't be back. read more

I researched reflexology locations in Brooklyn and was very exited to try this place out. I drove all the way from South Brooklyn (Bergen Beach area). I initially wanted a reflexology foot massage for 30 minutes but the workers seemed nice, so I decided to throw in an additional 30 minutes of Tui Na. The reflexology was amazing and I couldn't keep myself from falling asleep. However, Tui Na was rather painful and I didn't enjoy it. While laying on the table I had my mind made up that I would visit Sunshine at least once per month for a one hour reflexology. However, that ALL changed while settling my bill. Unfortunately, the girl who gave me the massage informed me that a 20% tip was mandatory. My final bill was $55... I was paying with a debit card so that was increased to $57. I was fine with that. I told her that I had some cash on me and would leave the tip in cash. I took out $6 and she pointed to my debit receipt and said that the tip had to be the amount printed (which was $8). The two extra bucks wasn't gonna kill me so I gave it to her.... But I thought that insisting on 20% was rude. It really put a bad taste in my mouth and I won't be returning. It's really too bad because they could have made much more money over time by simply allowing me to leave the tip amount that I thought was fair. Buyer beware! read more
