First massage I've had that I want to do again! Never had my trigger points / areas of tension worked on so thoroughly- other massages have been relaxing but not effective at working out the tension. I had a male masseuse and felt comfortable around him. Within a few minutes he identified the areas that needed work without me saying a thing. read more

This place is the definition of a hidden gem. I would've had no idea it was even there if I hadn't looked it up in advance, but a part of me is glad this place is a little hidden because they're amazing! The staff was extremely welcoming and the location upstairs was also warm and inviting. We did a 90-minute deep tissue couples massage and the two women did a fantastic job beating us up (in a good way). We walked away feeling amazingly refreshed and full heartedly recommend this place. Amazing people and a great value too! read more

Wow... Just Wow!! I had never had this type of massage.. It was amazing.. Chin was able to apply a great deal of pressure. Best massage I have EVER had!!!! read more

OMG My Ex (girlfriend at the time) brought me here for my birthday back in March...A-FREAKIN-MAZING! It was everything and more. Maybe about 10 minutes into the session, I was out cold asleep, snoring and all! This was the ultimate relaxation experience. They even do the thing where they walk on your back with walker. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed read more

I was looking for a place to help me relax and cope with my migraines. I get huge stress neck and Pat reached out to schedule me literally ASAP. It was the best massage I've ever gotten and I'm so pleased with the quality of communication and support provided by my masseuse. Joe was so wonderful, friendly, receptive, and really knew what he was doing! I recommend this business 100%! read more

Great massage! Though I'm used to being asked about problem areas or any preferences before the massage begins. Besides that my husband and I had a wonderful couple's massage. read more

I got a massage here on Monday evening. A woman answered the door right after I rang the bell and asked if it was me. Ambiance: The place is very small. There's a waiting area and it seems like they only have one room with two beds. Definitely seems like you need an appointment to get in. Service: My masseuse, Pum, had me take my shoes off and brought me into the room, prepping things as I got ready on the massage table. It was comfortable and the room looked nice and relaxing. Someone in a previous review said the street noise was distracting, but I thought it wasn't bad. She played music which I thought was loud enough without being overpowering. I opted out of the stepping because I know my body can't handle that. It's nice to have that option and I made sure that I told her before she started the massage. She also asked about areas to focus on and I said my upper back and shoulders (where my knots are). Massage: Pum used warm oils which I love during a massage! It had a menthol kind of smell which was perfect for clearing up my congestion. She used different techniques to massage such as with her fingers, knuckles, hand, and arms which I appreciate. The last massage I got the masseuse kept pushing my back so I'm glad this wasn't like that. She also focused a lot on my upper back and shoulders and got my knots out. Thank you!! I even enjoyed the stretches she had me do. I haven't worked out in over a month so I'm pretty stiff. My favorite part though was the hot stones! I've never had hot stones during a massage before and it was heavenly. Pum made sure the temperature was perfect before applying them to my back and neck. She did this twice because I liked it so much. Pricing is reasonable ($70 for one hour) so I'll be back again! read more

Thai Lotus Bodywork - Inside the massage room - Massage Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This location is in south loop but I know they have another up north! This location has some free parking around the side and a block away which is nice. Or you can pay for street parking out front! Just so you know DO NOT TAKE THE ELEVATOR. It's cool that it's so old school but the second floor door did not open. Panicked a little and went back down to take the stairs lol. Right when you walk in it's like a whole other world. So calming and pretty and cozy. Take off your shoes right away. Everyone was so kind. I thought me and my bf were getting massages in separate rooms cause of COVID, but it was an actual couples massage which was nice! My massage was 1.5 hours and just what I needed. I work as a nurse and I haven't gotten a massage in forever. I was going somewhere else before this place but omg I'm going to keep coming back here instead. So soothing. Just what I needed. I got KitKats at the end too! Absolutely coming back!! read more

Thai Lotus Bodywork - Massage Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Well...this certainly isn't an experience for those looking for a luxury experience, but it's absolutely a great option for those who want a massage experience that leaves you feeling relief. My shoulders and back had been hurting for a while and a few places I'd visited never seemed to apply the pressure I needed to offer reprieve from the muscle knots. Enter the Thai massage. I was willing to try something new and Lotus Bodywork offered that to me, plus the peace of mind of other great reviews. Not to mention a consistent, reasonable price at $70. The building it is located in is no frills and the massage room is no frills either, but I wasn't looking for that anyway. The masseuse applied oil and consistent pressure and techniques that weren't conducive to a relaxing massage but left my shoulders and back feeling great. One thing to note: the masseuse will offer to walk on your back and you can say yes or no. I said yes and didn't regret it. I highly recommend! read more

Pum was exceptional, probably the best massage/stretch I've had in recent memory. She didn't rush, but took care to attend to every inch of my body. I will be returning. read more

Had a great session with Ann who is amazing with deep tissue and Thai massage techniques. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a professional massage done well in a clean and spacious facility easy to get to. read more

Had a lovely experience here with my boyfriend for a couples massage. It was both our first times getting a Thai massage. I did a little research on what it would entail but was very pleasantly surprised by the entire session. The massage takes place on a hard raised surface with a thin cushion over it. Movements are more stretch oriented and felt really great as I've been super tense from working at my computer all day. There were normal oil/lotion portions as they do during "typical" massages. If there were any recommendations or changes that would improve the experience, i would recommend to get noise-proof windows. While the hour long massage was super relaxing with light music in the room, you could still hear the noises outside (more than just sirens) like talking and minor honking. The two masseuses were very pleasant and ensured we knew everything that was going on. They asked if we wanted to focus on any specific part of the body before we started and accommodated to any injuries or problem areas. Overall a super relaxing time, will definitely be coming back and would recommend to anyone who has or hasn't gotten a Thai massage. read more

Thai Lotus Bodywork - Couples massage - Massage Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Truly a hidden gem. The building might throw you off, but once you're in Thai Lotus itself, it's very cozy, clean, and relaxing. Kat is amazing! She made me feel so comfortable, and was able to work out the deepest knots and tension. read more

This massage place is now my hidden gem, so maybe this review is a bad idea... but I also want to share how good it was. I was stressed and looking for just like... a good massage at a fair price. Couldn't find it anywhere in Chicago, I kept getting massages that left me wishing I had gotten more work done, this one hit the spot. The massage therapist truly listened to me, in fact everyone was super proactive about understanding what I was looking for from the moment I walked in, so I got the right pressure, focus areas, and overall vibes I was after. This was also my first time getting a Thai massage, and they can twist you around in interesting ways to get all the little spots you don't normally get addressed unless you're like, at a chiropractor. Overall, amazing. I managed to get a same-day appointment but I heard that's not really common, so book ahead. read more

First visit and there will be many more! Incredible experience... Possibly one of the best massages/stretches in my life! I left feeling relief in all concerned areas and like a new person when I walked out! read more

Wanted to try a Thai massage. So I went to the one on Broadway, sketchy neighborhood and building! Felt scared .. as far as the massage good technique but place was set up like someone's garage, plus had to wear shorts not used to that a sheet would of been better. Not worth the $70 , will not be back. Massages are usually naked. Has nothing Todo with the layout of your sub par place. Let your clients see for themselves. read more

I booked online and received an ail confirmation for my appointment but when I got there they said they had no record of it. Wven after I showed the email confirmation they said, sorry but we can't take you at this time so I left. Right after I got a text offering $10 yo tru booking again. I said no thank you. I'd already paid $10 to park for that appointment. I also spend a great amount of time in construction traffic so I said no thank you to $10 off yo book again and told them to fix their broke system. A very good friend of mine who goes here once a month referred me and he was upset when I told him what happened. They have now lost a loyal client by being unprofessional and unorganized. read more

Went to the uptown location, we were expecting a professional spa setting but the bathroom was outside of their business space and really dirty. I had thai massage in Thailand many times before and this was by far not even close in terms of technique. Of course it costs at least 5x as much as in Asia. They will step on your back with their feet and use oil, which was not a traditional Thai massage. If you never have had a Thai massage before, you might like it but you can skip it if you are expecting the same experience. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover... despite the upcoming uptown location and the urban signless building once inside you will transport to a tranquil utopia. Clean and welcoming. My healer Charlene was beyond impressive with both her knowledge of traditional Thai massage and her natural ability to feel blocked energy. I've suffered with chronic neck and shoulder pain for years, having a sedentary desk job doesn't help this. I left this session feeling pain free, I couldn't believe it! The joy nearly brought me to tears. read more

Best massage I've ever had! Everyone was so friendly and they are very good at what they do.

A great massage and a great value. The space is clean, comfortable, peaceful and welcoming. Not high frills but perfectly suitable. If you're like me and need deep massage on a regular basis, I highly recommend Thai Lotus bodywork. Ask for Om! read more

This is the best hidden secret. Nadia is better than any physical therapist or chiropractor I've ever experienced. I will be coming here regularly read more

This is a hidden GEM in the city. Seriously, I've been to many massage clinics over the past few years and this place is absolutely incredible. All of the masseuses are extremely kind and make sure that you leave as a satisfied customer. I feel so relaxed and healthy post-massage, definitely going to become a regular here! read more

Purchased a groupon for a couples thai massage from Stephanie and a gentleman I forgot the name of. Never had a thai massage before but upon arrival I was asked if I wanted a traditional thai massage or more of a regular massage.I opted for the latter but still had thai massage elements that allowed stretching of the body. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get the groupon (though you don't have to buy it to get the price)! There's no bells and whistles here considering the location in uptown on a 2nd floor walk up but if you're looking for a feel good massage, come here! read more

Awwwesome I got the 90min thai-sport massage. I could feel those psychotic feelings just melt away. read more

Xavi (works Thu + weekends) was excellent. Painfully good, but excellent.

This place is awesome!!! From outside, it doesn't look like much, but the massage room is beautiful inside. But the real magic is the massage!!! Thai bodywork is definitely its own style... more intense, almost like deep stretching assisted Yoga... at some points it felt awesome, at others, awful. But it definitely got a BUNCH of my knots and tense points feeling much much better by the end! If that all weren't enough (which trust me, it IS, just go, it is awesome and worth it), super extra bonus points to the woman who i think is the owner... I accidentally booked my massage for Tuesday (I thought I booked Monday), it was a couples massage for me and the fella. We showed up and knocked, no answer, but then she showed up, we figured out the mistake, and she called in a second masseuse at the last minute and they took care of us... I can't thank her enough... but I will certainly come back again & again!!! read more

I wouldn't recommend this place. I got a 90 minute "deep tissue" massage--it was not a deep tissue massage. She did some traditional Thai massage stretches, but I honestly could not tell if she was professionally trained. It was definitely relaxing to lay there but I did not get the relief I wanted. Especially on my back, she barely got underneath my shoulders and was just trying to lososen up my body by very gently shaking my shoulders. The website makes it look legit with all of the lengthy descriptions of different services, but don't fall for that. The building is also extremely sketchy. You can definitely find a better quality massage place for the same price. read more

Nathalie is very stronger or able to use her whole body professionally to work the stress and pain out. I need people to step and swist me around in yoga like poses, and she is able to do it (or light pressure if you need less). Doing massage therapy myself, I was trying to find someone like me, well I finally found her :-) read more

Incredible massage. Very clean and professional studio. I came in with a sports related injury and Ms. Ju provided me with valuable insight to keep my body healthy in the future. Highly recommended! read more

One of the best massages I've had. I get massages a lot as a desk worker, traveling consultant, and now a postpartum mom. I do like my massages to be firm and deep so I can feel a little bit of that 'good pain' where my knots are worked on. I found this place through Groupon and I had my massage with a man (I didn't catch his name). Let me tell you, it was worth it even if I had to pay full price and more. Blows away all the massages I've had at spas and chiropractic places. The space was neat, clean, and comfortable with music and comfy beds. You don't take your clothes off and change into anything so be sure to wear something thin. I requested my focus to be on my shoulders and back so he paid special attention to those parts but everything was worked on thoroughly head-to-toe. He even cracked my back and oh it felt so gooood! It is not for the faint of heart as all your body will be stretched to its full range like assisted yoga. read more

Great massage. They took great care to adhere to COVID rules and it was a very thorough massage. Very relaxing!

Each time we go we get amazing massages. Thai Lotus is a hidden gem. Everyone who works there is great. We will to continue getting massages at Thai Lotus. read more

STAFF NOT VACCINATED. When I called to make an appointment for Jan 2, 2022, I asked if the massage therapist was vaccinated and was assured they were. When I showed up, they were late for the appointment and when I asked her directly if she was vaccinated, she said no. She said she "was new," as if this somehow could possibly be a justification. I left. 1/7/2021: RESPONDING TO PAR'S ANSWER TO MY POST: Their reply is untrue. I left as I didn't get a massage as the therapist was not vaccinated and told me I should rebook with someone else. So, I left. I would not post a review that wasn't true. I am making sure people are aware of my experience. read more

On my recent trip to Chicago I needed a Massage and decided to go back to Thai Lotus, as my first experience there had been wonderful. Well I'm happy to report that the consistency is there. I had a different massage therapist this time and the service was every bit as good. They really focus on massaging your problem areas, while at the same time, providing an overall stretching routine that leaves you feeling amazing! Highly recommend!! read more

Do not let the exterior deceive you. The inside is well maintained, clean and relaxing. Ask for Ms. Ju. (Small lady with wonderful techniques) -She's the real deal- Authentic, strong spot on thai massage. Incorporates thai traditional massage with chinese massage as well as her knowledge for muscles and joints. You can let her know your trouble spots but just let her work on you, she will figure it out and really crank out those knots. On top of that, she will stretch you out so you wont become sore and that your body will loosen up from the massage. Really recommend! read more

I've been here twice. there was a lady who was professional in massage. I was very relaxed at that time. The last time I got an hour of massage and paid a $20 tip, it was worth it. Unfortunately, I forgot her name. I'm a little disappointed that I came here for the second time today because the worker I met this time were not very professional. I didn't feel good this time, so I only tipd $10. read more

Favorable price at the expense of quality service. Went for a couples massage, & my partner and I both had less than okay experience(weak technique). Location was sus. Explore other options if you can read more

The best massage I have ever received. Very reasonable price, full body experience, very therapeutic and healing.

Thai Lotus Bodywork! 3 magic words! My story: I started lifting heavier weights this year, and pulled a lower back muscle while dead lifting. I looked up massages in my neighborhood and Thai Lotus popped up. Scheduling was very easy via their website and I booked 2 hours (the same day). The massage was AMAZING. I have never had a Thai massage before. The Therapist was so skilled at unbinding my sore muscles; and put me in stretched positions where she further work on my injured back. I can't wait to go back, and unfortunately did not catch my therapist's name. Thanks for the great massage. read more
