What an amazing, much needed experience. I came here based on reviews and asked for someone a bunch…read moreof reviews mentioned, but they were unavailable. I was a walk in and didn't have time to wait. I instead got Saline, who was AMAZING. She truly listened to everything I told her, made her presence known throughout the massage but not too much, so I was able to fully relax. I cannot say enough good things about this massage. The space itself was cramped and no frills and some of the pressure is on fellow GUESTS to keep their voices down (please keep this in mind!) but it has everything. The space felt clean and cozy. I went for a 1.5 hour massage which felt like a splurge because it was longer than I normally do, but their prices were so reasonable and I had just come off a very long work week that it felt needed. The massage was so incredibly relaxing and left me in a little bit of pain in a good way. I knew Saline had found a lot of my deep knots, so there was no way for it to be without pain, but every fit of it was so worth it. It was so relaxing and I left feeling 100x better than when I came in. It was a little hard to find because it's on a small strip mall, but now that I know where it is I won't miss it. Highly recommend this spot!

This was a decent Thai massage, although I have to admit I'm comparing it to a Thai massage I had…read morein Vegas that was so good that I've been chasing that feeling ever since . I had a 60-minute massage here with Nina. The massage itself was good and I left feeling relaxed, but it just wasn't quite the same level of therapeutic or memorable experience as that other massage. Nina was also coughing a bit throughout the appointment, which made me wonder if she might not have been feeling her best that day. The price was $70 for 60 minutes with cash, and they recommend at least a $15 tip. I left $20. Overall, I'd say it was a perfectly fine massage and I'd give it 4 stars. It may have just been an off day, so I'd be open to trying them again with a different therapist.

We asked for foot massage for us both .. they stood a few feet away and spoke in a different language for two minutes.. after saying we don't understand and we're standing right here; they finally told us one at a time ($20 / 30min massage) - my guess is only two workers and a client was already being worked on. We picked me since my partner has a scheduled massage at "the now" this week. The lady who worked on my feet was fast to get it started and a little light on the verbal cues to tell me "sit here"/ "feet up" / "sit back" .. etc - but what she did do, was lift my feet up, put them in bucket , dry them off and prop them up & push my head back onto the pillow She put the right amount of the pressure on my feet , full 30 minutes, very relaxing (even though I'm in the lobby getting my massage & someone came in to ask if they were busy) .. she was thorough and the towels were clean. I will be going back soon

I have lived next door to this business for over two years, and the first time I went, I had a…read morefemale masseuse and was not impressed. It wasn't bad, but I needed someone stronger. The woman who massaged me was funny and incredibly kind, so I couldn't find it in me to complain. It has been over a year since I went, and today I went in and asked for a male masseuse. I have learned to be better at making my needs clear to other Chinese folks. I was surprised when the person who elected to massage me was the owner, Kevin. Kevin was incredibly polite. He got to work and didn't say much. I pointed out to him that I was having a lot of pain in my left glute. Suddenly he shifted his approach and WENT TO TOWN. He left no part of my body (sans genitalia) untouched. Every possible muscle group that he could manipulate, he did. My IT band, my glutes, my scapulae, even muscles that were tender and sore like my upper chest were handled, stretched, kneaded, and massaged into submission. Muscles in my arms, my hands, my legs, my joints, the tendons and ligaments, my temples, my scalp... You get the point. He found all of the pain, and I didn't have to say anything else. American masseuses don't typically do all of that, but traditional Chinese massage targets the whole body in unconventional areas, like in between joints. I have been receiving massages most of my adult life, and I am very picky and enjoy deep tissue massage. I used to dance professionally, and I'm used to my body feeling like a train wreck. I wish I found Kevin many years ago. He has been doing this professionally for ten years and it shows. While confident in Chinese (mainland/Beijing-ish accent), Kevin is clearly a bit shy and nervous when it comes to speaking English. His anxiety comes out in his speech, but his smile and the warmth he communicates are both genuine. Most Chinese places are not this warm and personable. For me, this place is a dream come true. I can walk downstairs and be treated by one of the best masseuses I have ever encountered. Thank you, Kevin. I will be back often.

The Service: They don't have too many employees so the downside is that my masseuse had to go greet people who walked in. It is a small business so I totally understand and it didn't detract from the experience. They were very nice and welcoming and didn't feel pressured to tip like at some other places. Service Requested: We got the 90 min combo massage (60minute full body, 30 min foot). The type of massage that they do is more of the Asian acupressure massage which I enjoyed. They give you clothes to change into which is nice if you don't like being unclothed when massaged. The massage had so much variety which I loved. Price: it was $70 for a 90 min combo massage which I found it well worth it for my money. They also offer 90 min full body which is $80. The Atmosphere: Very clean and cozy atmosphere. They played piano music while the massage occurred. I felt very relaxed. Parking: Parking in Ktown is a bit difficult but one thing I can say about this place is that they have a parking lot which plenty of spaces that were easy to park!

I came in and there was a man and a woman there. The man seemed confused as to why I was there. I had to show him I was told 9:30am was okay. He showed me the room, but when I requested a female masseuse, he seemed angry and said 'did you ask the manager?'. I looked confused, so he went out and got a female masseuse. When he came back he said 'why don't you have your clothes off?' I said I was waiting for him to come back and this was my first time here. He finally chilled out and apologized. The female massage therapist's name is 'Mia'. She doesn't speak English too well so you may have to translate what you want. But she's excellent. I highly recommend her. Very caring and funny. In the middle of our massage the male barged in the room and asked 'is everything okay'? My lower half was uncovered so I quickly covered myself up. I was totally confused and astounded at the lack of professionalism. If a woman is in a room and in a vulnerable position you don't barge in. I have never had that happen to me before in a massage session. Looking back on his general demeanor and how he reacted to me requesting a female massage therapist, and how he came into the room while I was in a vulnerable position without knocking, I have suspicions that he is a pervert. I found out later supposedly that man is the manager. Honestly the women should run the place. The male was abrupt and unprofessional. I was able to leave a tip for Mia via Venmo. I hope she receives it. I hope they pay her well. My suspicion is this place may be sus or illegal or something. Anywho, if you happen to go, ask for Mia.
