My favorite spa. The ambience, the staff, the fruit and tea afterwards. Chefs kiss. No parking lot but if you pick the right time of day I've never had issues finding a street spot. read more

I last visited about 2 months ago. I didn't ask for a specific person and I went with whoever they assigned me trusting them. The masseuse seemed like they didn't know what they were doing. Despite my telling them to be gentle they did not and it ended up being a painful experience. On top of everything, they had really bad breath and two months later I still can't forget that horrible smell! The owner alleging in their response that they honored my request for therapist is clearly a lie because I definitely remember not requesting anyone specifically and thinking during the time of my massage that was a huge mistake. And no I cannot forget that horrible smell which is etched in my brain forever. read more

Returned to The Raven and had a great experience with Mit. 10/10. The ambience, hygiene, and welcoming energy are always top notch here. Really friendly women at the front desk as well. I really love that my massage with Mit and May were both deep tissue massages and had the same foundation, but they both took the time to work with my body and understood where some of the key trigger points for that day were. My hips were extra tight this time and I didn't even realize it, and Mit really helped loosen them up. It's a great testament that I've had two separate massage therapists and they've both been slightly different but absolutely incredible. Will of course be returning!! read more

the massage was very well and professionally done. I also enjoyed the atmosphere and the hospitality! read more

Used to be a really amazing space back in 2005 until may be until the Covid closure? Not sure what happened but last few times there have been odd and not what I remember it used to be. Massages became all too painful and not pleasant. Staff not very friendly and the whole space has an odd vibe. read more

The Raven Spa is truly a sanctuary. From the moment I walked in, I felt an immediate sense of calm. The space is incredibly relaxing, with breathtaking decor that is both serene and beautifully curated, every detail feels intentional and soothing. The staff was warm, welcoming, and made me feel completely at ease right away. And the massage... hands down the best I've had in years. Thoughtful, intuitive, and deeply restorative, exactly what my body needed. If you're looking for a peaceful escape and an exceptional massage experience in Silver Lake, The Raven Spa is a must. I cannot wait to return. ‍ read more

Have been going to Raven for years and it is wonderful. The masseuses are very, very well trained, the atmosphere calm and tranquil, and the prices....well, not cheap, but not awful, either -- I'd say fair. That said, I have long had a bone to pick. In one room (or two -- I think it's just for Swedish massages) they have mattresses w/ a hole to hold your head so can lay face down without crinking (is that a word?) your neck. But if you're getting a Thai massage your put on just a regular mattress. It's always bugged me because it defeats the purpose: I go in for a massage to work on my neck, but I tweak my neck by virtue of their set-up. Lots of much less expensive Thai massage places either have beds with a head holder or a pillow with a similar design. I really think Raven should do the same. There....bone to pick expressed! That isn't to downplay all the positive: a great place, but I do hope attn is paid to my one nit to pick. read more

Always get spectacular service, place has amazingly relaxing vibes. Couldn't pick a better lace to recharge my batteries.

Had a fantastic deep tissue massage from Boom - she is so responsive about your comfort and relaxation during the massage. Looking forward to seeing her again! I love The Raven - from the caring front desk staff to the tranquil environment - a self-care day is always welcome here. read more

I agree with other reviewers who have described the manager as unstable, erratic and potentially unsafe to deal with. I had been a loyal customer for years, visiting every couple of weeks. During one visit, I received an urgent work call while checking out, so I stepped outside to talk. When told I couldn't speak in the outdoor couches area, I apologized and moved to the sidewalk outside the spa. The manager/receptionist followed me outside, and confronted me aggressively saying that I'm still disturbing the customers because the windows are open. I was very confused by that since I was indeed on the public sidewalk at this point, as other people are walking talking louder than I am. So I moved again and then the manager followed me all the way to a nearby café! Where she continued yelling and told me I was permanently banned. I tried to forget the whole situation, thinking that perhaps she had some sort of an episode. (My best friend is Bipolar and I try to be understanding of these kinds of things). I booked again online, and my appointment was immediately canceled. When I called, the same manager angrily told me that I can never come back. I've never experienced anything like this from any business. I hope ownership is aware of how this location is being managed, with loyal long time costumers being treated unfairly and arbitrarily denied service. read more

Wow! I just had the most amazing facial/massage ever - and I'm pretty schooled in the area of both ha ha! Milk is amazing! I didn't realize how much I needed the custom massage! I highly recommend raven spa. I've been coming here for years me and my wife both and we've never had a bad experience. Everybody's so sweet and courteous! DO IT UP!!! read more

I absolutely love The Raven Spa! I just got my fourth massage there and it's the only place I go now. So relaxing, I get the deep tissue which also incorporates Thai Massage. My favorite masseuses are Boom and Mit! read more

Took my fiance here for Valentine's Day and we absolutely loved it. First of all staff was extremely friendly and the place is beautiful which really adds to the overall experience. We booked the deep tissue massage for two and you can just mention that you're a couple and they'll put you in the same room. It was $100 per person which is average price in LA but for the best message out there. The massage was very unique and the pressure was perfect. It was a mixture of stretching and deep tissue which I really needed. Overall, if you're looking for a really nice date night activity, this is definitely the spot to be! read more

10/10. A truly delightful and therapeutic 90-minute Raven Swedish massage. I was kindly greeted upon arrival and warmly welcomed by Nikom. Top tier. read more

4/20/25 2PM Yuri experience. The massage was great but the person who gave me the massage was finishing up at my appointment time. I was ready, laid down on time but the massage did not start until 10 min after my appointment time. Yet, the massage ended at the scheduled time 3:30 exact, so 10 minutes less. The management to schedule someone to finish a massage at 2pm when there is a 2PM start does not seem possible, unless they are willing to then do 10min past the scheduled end time. I mentioned that I received 10min less massage than what I had paid, and the receptionist said she notified the management. Have not heard anything from the management. They can check the camera in the communal area- they would see that the massage did not start on time. Again, the massage itself was great. read more

The Raven Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Went in to just ask some questions and before I could finish a full sentence the person at the front desk interrupted me and said "you need to speak softer, people are getting a massage and you're disrupting them" This spa is on a busy street and there are sirens and motorcycles driving by constantly. They leave the door open so all of the outside noise can be heard, but she felt the need to say I was being disruptive by asking a question. I have no desire to ever go back. read more

This is a hidden gem! I have been coming here for years, always taking someone new, and anyone I take falls in love. Ive had the Rock Star - my fav! The Thai Massage a few times and event he pregnancy massage a few years ago. Havent had a bad therapist and I hope they continue to upkeep their entrance becasue its so traditional, timeless and very cute for photos! read more

Booked my second massage here since February and they do not disappoint. I appreciate the care they take by making sure your experience meets your needs. I had a Swedish massage while my partner had a Thai massage. We looked like jello and our hair was wild. I'd say another successful experience. Highly recommend you book yours now! read more

Booked a Deep Tissue massage on a Sunday girlfriend's outing, and what a pleasant surprise! The spa is a small oasis setting, low frills, but VERY serene. The overall setup is minimal, with a few rooms and areas separated by curtain partitions. Parking is street parking only. 2 hour meters are available on the street in front of the spa, but this is exempt on Sundays (which is when I booked)- no problem at all pulling right into a spot for my 10:00am appointment. I was taken right back for my appointment at 10:00, and serviced by May. May was extremely attentive to my body, applying additional pressure when needed, and checking on me when my groans got a little louder (this was a GOOD pain). I purchased the Herbal Ball add on, and this was a worth-the-cost enhancement. I've noted some reviews were critical of the time spent, but I found I was given the full hours' worth. However, it's critical that you're on time. The clock starts whether you're there or not. After the service, you're given a small plate of fruit, tea, and water as you return your mind and body to reality. This was a very nice (and welcomed!) touch. The lady in the front greeted us warmly and saw us on our way nicely as well. I'm already trying to figure out the next time I can return! read more

The worst customer service experience ever! The manager (who said she's been there for 9 years) was shockingly rude and dismissive. There was absolutely no sense of customer service or kindness. Instead of trying to help me find the right therapist, she basically told me to go somewhere else! A few years ago, I got a massage at The Raven Spa and it wasn't great -- I had specifically asked for someone with strong hands, and they assured me they would provide that. But during the session, I kept asking for more pressure, and the therapist said she couldn't do it. So I didn't go back after that. Recently, a friend told me to give them another try and to ask for a strong masseuse. So today, I called to give The Raven another chance. I explained my past experience and asked the manager if she could recommend someone strong. Instead of being understanding, she got defensive and snapped, "All of my therapists are strong." I politely repeated that I just wanted to avoid another disappointing session and asked if she could assign someone she personally recommended. Then, unbelievably, she told me that if I ever didn't like a massage, I should have stopped the session midway and sent the therapist to the front desk! That's such an unkind and unprofessional suggestion -- why would anyone want to embarrass a therapist like that instead of simply helping the client get matched correctly from the start? When I again asked if she could just recommend the right person this time, she abruptly said that maybe I should go find another place -- that The Raven "wasn't for me." I was stunned. Her tone was aggressive, defensive, and completely unprofessional. There was no effort to listen, no empathy, and zero customer care. After this encounter, I can confidently say I won't be returning or recommending The Raven Spa to anyone. read more

I loved the look of the spa. It reminded of a remote location in Thailand. Very serene. The massage was amazing. I told friends and will be back. Quality at an affordable price. Location is in close proximity of where I live too! read more

I was in dyer need of a deep tissue massage and I prefer the type that goes hard as they can until I tap out and Milk at Raven Spa did just that. Arriving there Fatima greeted me as I walked in, her calm energy immediately brought me down to a relaxed level as I am a very anxiety driven. Very sweet and assured me that what I was requesting to get out of my massage would be accomplished by her recommended masseuse. She was right! I felt like I went thru a workout and then after being able to sit in a common area to enjoy some water, tea and an assortment of fruit added as my body decompresses. Love this place. read more

I did a 60 min massage here and it was mostly a good experience. The masseuse was skilled and friendly. We had requested a specific masseuse when we booked the appointment online. When we got there we were told that they booked her with someone else. Someone called on the phone and requested her so they basically decided not to honor our request and honor the other persons instead. Why would you do that? She didn't apologize to us about it. She just gave me the vibe that it wasn't her problem and we just had to deal with it. She did offer us a monetary discount but I still left feeling not so great about the whole experience. This could have been avoided if they honored requests on a first come basis. They could have also called us and let us know that the masseuse we requested would not be there. The whole premise of the request is that I am coming to your business to see that person. When the requested service provider is not there it kind of feels like a bait and switch. read more

Raven Spa is amazing. Nikom, was absolutely fantastic. He gave me one of the best deep tissue massages I've ever had -- truly a master of his craft. He worked through all my knots, released so much built-up tension, and left me feeling loose, relaxed, and completely renewed. I can't recommend Nikom enough. read more

The Raven Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The services here are great but whoever answers the phone provides awful customer service. I'm referring to the silverlake location.

We loved the place. Very cool vibe inside and probably the most comprehensive Swedish massage I've ever had. Well Done RAVEN!! ‍

I came here for red light sauna and a facial. I was immediately at ease upon walking in - there is such a calm, magical aura over this place. Everyone working here is so kind -- the lady at the front desk even let me stay in the sauna for longer than my allotted time. After the sauna, they prepare towels, showers, robes - it is pure bliss! As for the facial, it is not an exaggeration that it was the best facial of my life. I almost fell asleep and came out glowing that lasted for days. I have acne-prone skin but the products used are natural and not harsh. It helped with my hydration and blemishes. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a well-deserved relaxation! read more

The same host we had last year was so sweet again and the massages were fantastic. Got a couples massage and even for my giant bf the lady did a great deep tissue massage for him too. read more

This is my 3rd time getting the Rockstar Massage & I loved it. My masseuse was Boom & she has been my favorite of all time! I will definitely book with her again. She took very good care of all the painful knots on my shoulders & even took extra time to release the more tense areas on my back. I loved her patience & care through the massage. The facial was incredible. Boom left my face looking so radiant & soft. Can't wait to book my next rockstar massage!!!! read more

We've been coming here for years and always loved it, but our most recent trip wasn't that great. I purchased a gift card online, then called to make the appointment. I could barely hear the person on the other end of the line. I don't know if it was the connection, but it sounded like the person just wasn't speaking into the phone. After finding a quiet, secluded spot and holding my hand over my other ear so I could hear, we made an appointment, but was a little taken aback that I still had to give them a credit card even after I just paid them for the appointment up front, but whatever. Wife's experience: it felt like the therapist was just going through the motions. usually they spend time on problem spots they find, or ones i point out, but there was little to none of that. Massage wasn't terrible, but wasn't worth the price either. The ambience wasn't what I expected. There were people talking the whole time in what was a nearby break room or something because of all the conversations taking place and the sounds of the microwave being used. Imagine trying to relax when you hear a WHIIIRRRRRRRR then BEEEEEEEP. I mean ... really? On her way out the door to go to the appt I told my wife that I already gave the Raven the gift card number. I even made a point for them to confirm that everything was set when I made the appointment. They said it was. I didn't want my wife to have to worry about anything other than coming in to relax. I then got a call from my wife after her appointment was over because they asked her to pay, then she said "my husband gave you the gift card" and they said "it showed it was already used." I then had to stop what I was doing to get on the phone (odd I could hear fine this time) because it turns out they screwed up copying down the number when I made the appt. This is why I asked them to confirm everything in the first place... Sound like a relaxing experience? I just paid for the thing and it stressed me out. read more

Yes I will gladly give you my honest feedback: I booked a Queens massage 90 min and I got a Groupon deal. I was looking forward it. My expectation: that the 2 therapists would mirror a bit the rhythm and somewhat the pressure. Not at all close to reality. Patty was working on my superior part of the body, while another therapist ( I cannot remember her name) was working on my legs. She started right away, even before Patty, she had a fast pace, worked this Stretches on my left leg, but did not do any stretches or Thai movements on my right leg, instead she kept repeating the same fast movement with oil, for a torturing length of time, the same automatic movement. One moment, I complimented Patty, that I liked her pressure and rhythm that was deep and slow, and ask the other one to try to mirror it. For maybe 2 minutes she slow down a bit, and went right back to the same speed and movement. There was no connection, no muscle awareness, no intention, no relaxation, no deep tissue that was asked, I regret not asking her to don't even touch me. Patty instead was amazing! She did work deep and slow, and was focused and connected. The problem is that was a 4 hand massage, and it was not balanced. Not even one side with the other. As one leg got stretches that the other one didn't. I mentioned I had a knee problem on my right knee. That my heels could not touch my buttock. But it would not prevent from doing anything else. It looks like she didn't even know how to do a massage and was just spreading oil fast paced with no clue of anything. If you do a recipe with ingredients that are missing the end result won't be satisfactory. The same way with a massage. I am not just upper back and arms and hands, so this is the reason for my 2 stars review. Even with Groupon deal it was not worth it. Who wants a massage to leave with your body not balanced? It would be 5 starts for Patty full body massage 2 hands only, but they share the service and so the review, as there was not 2.5 starts, for half of the body, so here we go... read more

I received a gift card from one of my daughters for Father's Day to come to the Raven spa. I'll admit when I walked in it was very beautiful until I met the girl at the desk, Fatima. As I walked toward the desk I stood there about five seconds which is a long time when you're looking at a girl who is just blankly staring at her computer screen. She didn't even turn her head she just side eyed me and looked at me. I was waiting for some kind of greeting "hello, how's it going, do you have an appointment?"Any of those would have worked. Just a blank stare, I broke the tension with "Hi I have an appt," she asked me my name and if I'd like to use the restroom. I said that would be great and then she rudely looked me up and down. I actually chuckled out loud. I thought this poor girl was having a terrible day, cold and judgmental was the vibe, I went pee. Came out and I simply said "What's next?" I wanted to know where to go and what to do. Honest question I wasn't disrespectful, she wasn't forthcoming or communicating anything. At this point the poor girl just had a complete meltdown. Her face, her body language, pure irritation. She crudely said "I take you to get dressed!! She turned to me and rudely and said "is something wrong with you?" I was actually shocked I was absolutely neutral up to this point. I replied no, and then she said she didn't like me!! I was like WTF (I didn't say that out loud) who says that?! I replied "you don't have to like me I just want a massage. What am I supposed to say to that?!" She was an a$$hole and completely projecting her own emotion and story onto me. That's when I realized I was dealing with a class A narcissist. I then stated she had been rude and dismissive the moment I walked in. She wasn't having that she immediately said I was rude and she didn't like being talked to that way! Didn't she just say she didn't like me, who's the rude one here?!! She was mad I called her out and then she said I was making her uncomfortable, classic narcissist, bouncing between bully, trespassed, victim. There's no reasoning with a person who has zero personal integrity so I asked for the manager or owner. Fatima said nope. At this point she went to the other room to call someone, I could her relaying misinformation which, you could understand at this point is beyond frustrating. She kept saying don't follow me. I'm not following you TF?! I'm standing at the desk she comes back and just stares at me. After about a minute of silence, she's just glaring at me, I ask, "what's happening? Is a manager coming? She said no. I'm like what is going on? She said you have to leave I'm gonna call the police! "So I'm not going to have a massage? "No" "Can I have a credit/refund?" "No" "Can I speak to your manager?" "No" She kept repeating you have to leave. She was stuck on that. Absolutely zero communication skills Hey I get they can refuse service to anyone and I respect that but this transaction from the start had nothing to do with me. What ever narrative she was playing in her mind I'll never know, girl was unhinged!! When will the manager be back? "Tomorrow she replies." Fine. As I leave she shouts I'm free to write a bad review about her. I'm like who is this girl?!? The following day I return with my friend who is recording the whole thing. I'm friendly and say hello, today is a new day, I say I'd like to speak with Christine. "She's not here, This is way too much" she said "This is harassment!"WHAT?!! It is within my rights to ask to speak to a manager. 100% not harassment. I reminded Fatima she said to come back today, that the owner would be in! "Perhaps I can make an appointment to meet with her, so I don't have to waste my time coming back a third time I said, how else am I to get a refund for this debacle?! She starts loosing her cookies again, "get out I'll call the police!" I said call them. I watched her upset the next guests coming in spilling her toxic energy on them. Mind you this entire two day transaction I have been calm, clear, not yelling. Frustrated yes because she is incapable of listening or resolve. She calls someone again I assume it's Christine only to shout "stop following me!"Nobody is following you girl I'm standing with my friend at the front desk. I leave 40 minutes later Christine calls me. Quick, pleasant, my money is to be refunded 3-5 business days and do not return to the spa. Perfect!! No problem there!! Thank you A 40 second call Christine this is to you, as a business owner myself I know how important that first impression is. It boggles my mind you would employ such a venomous, hateful, and wildly unprofessional person at your front desk. Hands down the worst service experience I can recall ever. If you would like to see how manipulative and toxic Fatima is, I have it all recorded. read more
