Visited this place while looking for a place to get a good massage and based on good Yelp reviews decided to stop here. Both my guest and I enjoyed our massages. They were good and thoroughly done. My guest and I enjoyed the professional treatment and good quality care. My reason for only 4 stars is that neither my guest and I have never read a massage where we were not turned over. We spent the entire time on our stomachs which was awkward and after so much time on my stock my nose was getting clogged and running as well. Good overall but next time I would ask that they turn me around. read more

It was an okay first experience for a no frill no atmosphere Chinese massage. 2 stars for my husband massage and 4 stars for mine. my husband masseur was too rough and overly painful. He felt relaxed after but he didn't have the most pleasant experience. He is unlikely to come back to a male masseur here again My masseuse Mei was good and got a lot of knots out. I did the one hour massage. Next time I will bring my own softer hand towel for my face as the paper towel I had facing down was rough for my face against for 60 minutes. For $60 plus tip I am glad the technique was good and relaxing. read more

This place is one of the highest rated massage businesses in Chinatown that I found with a quick Google search and it does not disappoint. There are no business hours posted on Google nor on the storefront itself, but Yelp says it opens at 10am and we arrived there at 11:15 am. The lights are turned off, so from the outside you'd think it's closed but the door is open. I paid $60 plus tip for a 1 hour full body massage. My masseuse, Lisa, initially started off soft, but I let her know I wanted harder pressure and the massage was amazing! I didn't even have to tell her my pain points, but she just knew the exact spots where all my tension was and focused there. They accept cash and card, but add a 3% charge with card. read more

Visiting SF with my two Florida friends and all 3 of us had foot massages (30 mins) from here. Felt really good for the price and they were very attentive. Went back on our last day in SF they got the foot & back combo (60mins) I got the body (60mins). My masseuse was very kind and she made sure to ask in between if it was too painful to adjust. Also was patient with my first time getting massages. Thank you! Would recommend :) read more

Exactly what I needed on my lunch break. A quick 45 minute deep tissue massage. Convenient location at reasonable price. The massage therapist was able to find all the knots and break it apart in the little 45 mins she had. I also liked how she massaged on top of a thin sheet versus direct contact with oil. I was able to go back to work relieved and not feeling greasy. Definitely coming back. read more

Located in the heart of Chinatown, this place is definitely a hole in the wall. I was in a desperate need of a foot massage so I decided to check this place out. The service I picked was the 30 minute foot massage for $30. It was so relaxing and the pressure was just right. The guy who did my massage was experienced and checked on how I liked the pressure. I went on a Sunday when Chinatown was extra busy. The next time I go I'm definitely calling an Uber because we spent a good 20 minutes looking for parking. But I'll be back for sure. read more

I hate soft massages. They do absolutely nothing for me. I don't care about ambiance or amenities. Just give me a hard pressure, pressure point massage and I'm a happy camper. After a sub-par massage a few days earlier at another establishment by my hotel that cost me $130, I knew Chinatown was the way to go. If that is what you're looking for, this is THE place to go. I got a 20 min foot massage and a 60 min body for $85 + $20 tip. "Joe" knew all the pressure points and got all the knots out in my shoulders, back and neck. At the end, you also get a great stretch. Left feeling light headed and body feeling like jello, which is exactly what I was looking for. I plan to go again before I leave SF, for sure. read more

It's been years since I've gotten a good foot massage since I moved away from the Peninsula. I've gotten one from another place in Chinatown but the masseuse was talking to her friends and phoning it in so I said never again. I needed to find another place. Thanks to Yelp I found Top Therapy. The price was reasonable so I had to try it out. Top Therapy Massage is a no frills massage place. If you want candles and aromatherapy, this place isn't it. People complained about the cigarette smoke? They open the front door for ventilation. And sometimes people will walk by with cigarettes. I couldn't smell too much smoke because I had a mask on. And for the noise? Put on your AirPods and listen to your favorite music or podcast. Now, to the massage. I had to go to a wedding last week and wore painful shoes. Ouch!! I decided to get a foot massage to help with the pain. When I walked in, the lady who greeted me was very nice. I decided on a 60 minute foot massage. She led me to a chair and Jack, my masseuse brought out the hot water for my feet to soak in. I explained to him about wearing heels and how much the balls of my feet hurt. After soaking my feet for a few minutes, he went to work. He was strong and at times it was a little painful but I pushed through it. After he was done, my feet felt much better! Everything was loosened up. Jack did a great job. I decided he will have to be my guy going forward for foot massages ;) The people here work hard, so please tip accordingly. I gave my tip to Jack in cash. Highly recommended!! read more

Amazing spot! Mei is such a gem, she's super strong and intuitive - a real body worker! I like my massages to be more painful/hard versus a lite spa rubbing type of experience.. and Mei is perfect for that. She definitely feels into where your body can take more pressure and goes to town with it. Came to SF for work and went 2 days in a row. After the massage i feel readjusted and relaxed. She is a gifted body worker, not a typical masseuse! read more

I'm in San Francisco working a conference at the convention center and needed a massage after standing. I've had many massages/reflexology and knew Chinatown was a good spot. Unfortunately, this place didn't live up to other reviews. The therapist had jerky hands and didn't focus and knead on obvious tight spots. There were loud conversations at times, and the place was rundown with older, uncomfortable massage tables. I would definitely not recommend and seek alternate locations. read more

I went today for a deep tissue massage because I was feeling very tight and felt I really needed one. I've visited this place at least three times before, and the therapist was always very pleasant from start to finish. However, today, she seemed more focused on making money and was disrespectful. Although the session began well, the work on my spine felt very uncomfortable, as she used her knuckles in inappropriate areas. On the plus side, she did well with some areas, and I did feel looser afterward. One of her coworkers mentioned that the cost was $85, which seemed reasonable to me. I handed over a $100 bill and called the therapist who worked on me. The coworker gave her the cash, and she complained, asking why it was only $15. She remarked that it was too cheap since she had done a 90-minute session. I explained that I only had $102 and only had my card left. In response, she made a rude hand gesture and told me to go away or goodbye. read more

It looked a little jenkee when we went through the door. An old dude was asleep on the couch. But my husband said "hello." And all the sudden, the place came alive. Very few of the workers spoke English...but, we weren't there for the conversation. We asked for reflexology for our party of four and that was when people came out of nowhere! We were escorted over to some bench-like recliners and asked to remove our shoes. We then reclined and they put our feet in warm, sudsy water while they worked on our heads, shoulders and arms. Then, they moved onto our feet. Each of us we're very pleasantly surprised. It was a great foot massage. If you want a great foot massage (reflexology) in Chinatown, this is the place. I only wish we would have gone for the hour treatment rather than the 30 minute treatment. (We visited with our two daughters, ages 16 and 22.) read more

She didn't massage the shoulders, or back much at all, and spent a lot of time rubbing the body, my scalp, and putting little effort into anything, The best way to describe it was if someone was just learning to massage, or just decided to give up for the day, but she's clearly been working there for a while given she ran the front desk too. Anyways, won't be coming back, if the business knows who she is, consider firing her because she will ruin your ability to get new customers and cause friction with existing ones.

I glad I was solo, made it easier being comfortable being nude. Lots of amenities to glam up before leaving. It was calm and quiet when I arrived, and got busier as I was leaving. Staff was great, and made me feel comfortable and welcomed. They explained everything and answered questions with a smile. The place was super clean and staff actively removed used towels/swept throughout my stay. A good scrub, felt like a symboloc ritual for shedding the old for the new. I now have baby soft skin!

Absolutely loved my spa day here. Came around 9:40am for a 1030am appointment…read more We did a 90 mins milk and honey treatment. After the body scrub they wrap your body in a foil while they shampoo your hair and apply a face mask. The spa is small but has the essentials: sauna room, steam room, cold plunge, and jacuzzi. Upstairs there's a clay ball room and the salt room. My absolute favorite was the clay ball room. I was so relaxed after my 90 mins treatment when I went into the clay room I almost fell asleep. I will definitely come back. Only thing is it is in japantown so parking can be hard. But it was very convenient to go across into Japan Center for lunch afterwards
