the ladies that helped my boyfriend and me were so kind. this was his first massage and they were great at communicating with him and making things comfortable and relaxing. the pressure was perfect and we both left feeling worlds better read more

Nima and Mai were both amazing. One of the best massages my client and I have ever had.

This place is awesome! It's not fancy--no bells and whistles--but the staff are incredible. The owners are around most of the time, and every massage therapist I've seen has been excellent. I've been coming here for a little over a year and have always been impressed by the quality of the massages, how clean everything is, and how friendly everyone is. There's usually parking in the lot, and if that's full, street parking nearby is easy to find. read more

I've been coming here for over a year now, and it continues to be my absolute go-to for a massage in the area. The staff is incredibly kind, professional, and attentive and they always make me feel welcome and cared for. The space is clean, calming, and comfortable, and they're always so accommodating when it comes to focusing on areas of tension or pain. Every massage I've had here has been consistently excellent. I leave feeling lighter, less tense, and genuinely more relaxed. I go almost every two weeks like clockwork, and I can confidently say I haven't found a better massage experience anywhere nearby. HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for quality massage! read more

Oh my goodness this is my second time getting a massage from Nina. She is absolutely incredible. She worked out my knots and tight spots in my upper and lower back so well and every move was made with intention. I am so grateful to her and the healing she was able to do through her massage. I feel so much better. Carlo who is the manager is so professional and definitely knows what he's doing and running his establishment. Carlo, thank you for having this business and employing people like Nina. Health is wealth and I am so happy to have this as one of my main self-care destinations. Nina, thank you for giving my body TLC and the best care! read more

Don't believe what these haters are saying!!! I love Tahntawan Thai massage - it's one of the best and most affordable massage spots in LA. It's the only one I go to because you get an incredible massage for the price. Mai and Carlo are amazing owners and Nina is THE best. She knows about knots I didn't even know I had and I always leave feeling so relaxed and refreshed. 10/10 for this business! read more

I really like visiting this place and highly recommend getting a thai massage from Sunny. She is super nice and puts extra care and love into the areas you have the most pain in. Nice no frills place with free parking. read more

Hadn't been in a while and just had an hour massage with Nina. She was great, really worked my neck and shoulders, she used coconut oil and hot towels. Looking forward to going back more regularly now. read more

Seriously the best massage salon in the area! The massage is the perfect mix of deep tissue and stretching, and I always leave here feeling 100% better. Nina does an amazing job of finding all the the knots and tension in every muscle. It may not be your average massage, but trust me, you will feel absolutely incredible for the weeks that follow! read more

Finally a place around this area that actually cares and ask what your body concerns are and they do reflexology as well. Other massage places around have been mediocre. This place had nice dim lighting in the room and relaxing music already playing. The masseuse was actually thorough and didn't miss body areas like other places I've gone to around here do. He was great, actually had massage hands aka the touch ....some ppl do some ppl don't the ones who don't shouldn't have careers as massage therapist Looking forward to my next appt read more

Great massage! The rooms aren't the most private, as they are separated from the hallway by a curtain, but that is more than made up for by the quality of massage. The masseuse knew what she was doing, asked me if I wanted her to focus on certain areas, and was really thorough not just in massaging, but stretching my limbs too for an all-around relaxing experience. Will definitely visit again, and maybe try the Thai restaurant of the same name located right next door as well. read more

This is the second or third time I received a massage from this location. The location has plenty of parking and the spa is clean with competent massage therapists. They give you a $5 discount if you pay cash and I received a 90-minute massage for $90 plus tip which I left $30. The rooms are fairly private in that they don't have a door but a heavy curtain that slides closed. My therapist was Tanya and she was fine except for deep tissue she was a bit on the light side. They don't have showers and the restroom also serves as a closet for their linens, etc. I would go back again but would probably ask for another masseuse since it could have been more therapeutic in delivery and she didn't spend enough time on my back and neck. It was fine, but I think I left a tip that far exceeded the overall value. I would recommend, but like any massage salon it is the masseuse that matters and her level of competence. It is clean it seems fairly busy, and there were people who seemed to be regulars so it seems to be a fairly established business. read more

Amaaaaazing massage. Very small, unassuming spot. Don't worry about that because the staff are 5-star phenomenal at what they do and so wonderful in their personalities. I got deep tissue and it was everything - massage, walking, stretching. I don't know how, but it seemed like it was so much longer than an hour, because they're that good. My mom got a light to medium pressure, and hers was just as good. She felt like it was one of the best massages of her life. Easily the best massage I've had in LA, and I've been to a lot of places here. read more

The massages here are consistently ON POINT. The people are incredibly nice. And the prices are reasonable. Honestly, what more can you ask? Only thing that would make me like this place even more is if they had the loose clothing for people to wear during Thai massages. read more

We were so looking forward to getting a massage here and were very disappointed to walk in and find that they had cancelled our reservation. After a few calls back and forth yesterday to lock it in they said they tried to text us and called several times, leaving messages to reconfirm. They had called the correct number back yesterday, but today dialed the wrong number. Not apologetic at all, and no attempt was made to remedy the situation. And no mention yesterday of any reconfirmation needed. The exact opposite of the relaxing experience we were hoping to have. Very disappointed in their service, cannot speak to the massage. read more

Best place ever. I have been to a lot of different massage places that usually become a favorite but then consistency in their massages eventually keep me from returning. This place however has been fairly consistent and is now my go to massage. I am a bit more on the athletic side so I do enjoy/prefer deep tissue massages that really dig into the muscles. So far I have been satisfied every time and will continue to come here. Mai used to be the best one here but due to health reasons she's no longer able to do massages. Everyone else however seems up to par. read more

We had a great experience here. My hubs and I got the "combo" massage which was a little Thai (stretching/standing on back etc) with the more traditional Swedish/oil massage. His was a little more aggressive from the sounds of it but mine was seriously just right. No clue how to spell my therapists name - Sounded like Ka-tan?? We were greeted by a friendly receptionist and the inside was clean (including the bathroom) with a hard wood floor and dark curtains to separate the rooms from the hall. I would not hesitate to send someone here and for the price it can't be beat. read more

My dad and I went in right before they closed and got the most relaxing ( and stretching) massage I've ever had. I slept so well that entire week. Thai massage is not your average massage and these ladies did a fantastic job! read more

Best massage i ever had in a very long time. They are sweet, so kind. I would come back way more often now. Thank you to Nina.

I've many more than 100 Thai massages and I was very happy with my experience there recently. Intuitive firm pressure, never over-doing it, and I felt great afterwards. Thanks!! read more

Since my 1st time here, I've been hooked. Even now that I live in DTLA I still find time to stop by when I am in the area. Consistency, consistency, consistency in quality. All for $49/hour (!), and they also run an early bird special on weekdays that brings it down even lower. Unheard of for the sort of quality massage you get - I've paid twice as much for now mediocre in comparison Thai massages I used to think were the BEST in San Francisco. Massage-wise, I feel that each and every time is slightly different but in a great way. You are supposed to request what type of massage you would like but I feel the majority of the time they don't ask and default to a nice 'combination' massage that involves a mix of techniques, and incorporation of oil/balm when it comes to tight areas. Also, depending on the day, I'll be on a mat, or a table, but they usually check to make sure I am ok with whichever choice it may be. Each woman I've had is great and again, as her own style (some walk on your back, some don't). Let her know what type of pressure you like and trust her to take care of the rest. I feel like a new woman every time I leave the place, and have even been known to, halfway through the massage, ask impromptu if she can extend to 90 minutes (good luck on doing that now that they are pretty booked regularly), due to the absolute bliss I feel at the moment. I have the tightest knots due to long drives and even longer hours behind a computer so this is a necessity at least every other week. I'd gladly trek here each time. read more

I visited this salon for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the massage. I've been to various salons in Los Angeles, and I haven't received such a massage. The masseur did not do the massage for the sake of making and finishing it, but for the client to like it and be useful. This is valuable. Thank you for your service, I will definitely return. read more

Tahntawan Thai Massage - Front Desk - Massage Therapy Near Me - Venice, California

Mai was everything I needed. I booked a last minute massage for my girlfriend and I yesterday. We arrived on time, they got us in right away. Mai constantly made sure I was comfortable and that the pressure was ok. The deep tissue massage itself was fantastic, I felt great afterwards. The only mild annoyance was there was a lot of noise. One family were literally just talking at a normal speaking volume at the front desk and their little kid was audibly running around and it was distracting. I could also hear what sounded like someone doing the washing up which may have been the neighbors. I think they should be a little stricter with people speaking so loudly as the sound travels a LOT. I still give 5 stars because the massage was honestly that good that I still managed to be relaxed. Will definitely be coming back. read more

A truly profound experience. Didn't expect a whole lot considering the strip mall location. As they say - don't judge a book by its cover. Full holistic body session. Felt like massage,acupressure, and Chiropractic all in one. And to top if off, my therapist name was Lucky :) read more

top knotch. spent quite a bit of time in Thailand last year and this place is as close as it gets to those Thai massages. every single person here is amazing and does traditional Thai massage (with added oil to appease the crowds). read more

The best massage in town. My boyfriend and I have been coming here for years and the team works extremely hard to make sure you have the best experience. We always get the medium thai massage which is great deep pressure (they check in with you during to make sure the pressure is right for you) and the stretching element is perfect for us. Their location is always clean, the masseuses always do an amazing job, they are covid safe - couldn't ask for a better place to unwind and relax. We always leave feeling 100% better and can't thank the team here enough! read more

Excellent massage! True to good Thai massages, they tackle pressure points effortlessly. I would gladly come back, and would consider my last visit both therapeutic and BEYOND expectations. read more

The rooms were clean and staff was super friendly... but my masseuse was extremely low pressure. While I did pay for the $65 medium Pressure versus the $75 deep tissue, $65 should still be some pressure and not a light rub. I've been to several massage parlors and this was by far the weakest. Not worth $65 plus $20 tip. My boyfriend said his masseuse was better.. so maybe it was just the person I had but I will not be coming back again. read more

I love this place. All the masseuses are 5 star. I've been going there regularly for years and everytime Ieave wishing I had more time. My favorite massage around. read more

GET THE 90 MINUTE THAI OR COMBO! I was nervous to try a new massage spot because I am a bit of a germaphobe and LA is one big fucking spore. HOWEVER, this spot was very clean. Definitely met my expectations. The man who booked my appointment was kind and prompt - helped me get scheduled. The woman who did my massage was bomb.com and was quite attentive and attuned to my body language. I WILL BE BACK since I'm basically in love. read more

The salon owners' response to my comment is predictable. They shouldn't have bothered with this answer. After they lied to me that there was only one camera in the cabin (and, as it turned out, there were two) and after they immediately stated in an aggressive manner that this could not happen, I didn't expect anything else from them. It is obvious that they do not value the reputation of their salon. My comment for clients. Be careful!!! The salon took advantage of the helplessness of the client, who was laying face down, stripped almost naked. The masseuse left the cabin three times without any explanation and only returned once with a hot towel. The question is why did she come out two more times? And one more note - I actually came and left with the same backpack. But there were two wallets in the backpack. One of them is with a card and small cash for paying for current services, and the second is with savings. You stole them. God is your judge. It is my duty to warn people who go to your salon and trust you with their body. Please be careful and vigilant!!! This salon doesn't wish you well! read more

I really needed a massage badly. I'm super picky when it comes to massages but I must say I was pretty satisfied after my hour massage with Mai. The place is clean and relaxing but I do have 2 small complaints. One is that Mai left the room a couple of times during the massage but I think that's because they were short staffed. The other is one of the times I was wiped down with the hot towel on my back it was really super hot. I definitely recommend this place and would go back again. read more

I dislocated my shoulder and my back was cramping up. Mai spent 30 minutes on my back and I was a new man. I've been back 3 times and I believe it's making a big difference in my recovery Amazing placr read more

I think Jordan H sounds like a pompous bastard with serious need of attention. Here you go! Here's your attention! I saw your review and thought to myself, wow, someone has some serious mommy issues. In all the times I've been here for a massage, I've seen nothing more than hard working women deserving 5 star reviews. Yeah, I'm taking the time and energy to point you out. Please don't let this jackass steer you away from getting a massage here. In fact, did you even have a massage? Nowhere did you even state that you actually received a massage, who gave the massage, what massage​ you received, and what made your massage experience lack luster. If anything, you're flinging mud. Ok....Annnnnnnd? What makes this other massage parlor better? State facts rather than just insults. It will make your rating that much more credible. read more

A new injury brought me into this joint. Sciatica. Holy moly. Never felt pain like this before. I called and got an appointment within 3 hours. I believe her name was Nina. I was floating on clouds, when I walked out, so Her name might be incorrect...But...she was incredible. Professional and strong. She spent the entire hour working out an array of knots and tight hamstrings. It hurt like hell. However, when she was done, I was 80% better and could walk without limping for the first time in a month. Parking is good. Location is average. But, highly recommended, if everyone is as good as Nina. read more

I had a massage with Annie today and she was amazing! I had the 60 minute, combo Swedish/Thai massage and it was exactly what I needed. Annie knew exactly where to work out my knots. I will definitely be going back! read more

The best option on the Westside since the other Thai massage on Abbott-Kinney is gone.

I thought the Thai massages in SF were good, but this was the best!! I wish I got the name of the woman who massaged me. She was amazing. I got a normal Thai massage --couldn't imagine getting deep tissue, because her hands were so strong. I thought I was going to break at some points, but it was great. I feel like a noodle now :) They give you loose pants to wear, but you're topless. I wasn't expecting that, but she made sure to keep me modest which I appreciated. Also, it's $49 for an hour which I find very reasonable. It's definitely not a spa experience; you can hear people outside and the occasional phone ring. However, it's an amazing value. Also, can't imagine you could fall asleep during a Thai massage anyways so I didn't mind the minimal background noise :) read more

Rita at Tahntawan is amazing. I started going there about two months ago, and get a massage from her every week, sometimes twice a week. I'm a trained massage therapist (many many hours of training). The quality of her work is exceptional. Likely the other therapists are also as skilled. The vibe is clean. The owners are very responsible, clear communicators, and organized. The price is also very reasonable. Compared to what you'd pay at a spa, or for a local therapist, this is a wonderful resource. read more

This is my go-to place any time I need a great massage. All of the massage therapists are incredible. They have unmatchable skill for the art and also authentic energy. I have tried many other places and this is my favorite by far. I wish I had discovered it sooner. Great place to come for a self-care treat or if you can afford a massage every 1-2 weeks it will keep your body balanced. Totally worth releasing all the tension you keep in your muscles. This is your LIFE and how you feel is EVERYTHING! You can't beat the prices here especially for the quality!! Worth everything and more. This place is an absolute must experience if you are thinking about a massage. read more
