Incredible customer service. The owner is very hospitable. We came for foot massages and we had to get total packages that's how good it was. Highly recommend great spot in Chinatown. read more

Excellent massage by Tina. She took her time and really worked my painful areas (back and legs). I feel much better now.

Stopped in for a 15 minute cupping session and a 15 minute back massage for two. Total cost without tip=50.00 The masseuse I had gave a half decent massage to say the least. Fealt rushed and no effort involved. Would have went to Xuyuan (excellent) around the corner but we wanted the cupping session. Let me add that the workers were not so professional in regards to repeatedly asking for their tip while breathing down our necks. Almost seemed as if they would have thrown themselves in front of the door if they did not receive. read more

Wang Jiao Spa - Massage Near Me - New York, New York

Dropped in here with my husband while looking for a place to grab ice cream and thought, "hey, we can use a shoulder massage!" The lady standing in front of the place noticed that I had a baby bump, and she insisted that she knew how to do prenatal massages and had given many massages to pregnant women before. She was pretty convincing, so we thought we'd give it a try. My husband and I were in the same room separated by curtains. I was expecting the lady in the front that insisted on giving me a prenatal massage was the one who was going to massage me. To my surprise, it was someone completely different. I still took my chances but I was awfully let down. I opted for the 30 min back/30 min foot massage. The first 15 minutes was the masseuse softly rubbing my back on top of a towel. I told her my problem area was my lower back and to kindly massage there and she kept saying, "ok!" but would continue to massage on top of the towel. The next 15 min was hot stones with oil. This was not relaxing to say the least because there was NO PRESSURE applied. Again, I asked her to massage my lower back for the 3rd time (I had to direct her with my hands) and she finally understood. She applied minimal oil but again, no pressure applied. She continued to do this for 15 minutes and took away from my foot massage. I almost wanted to stop her mid massage and just leave. My foot massage was no better. She applied oil but the pressure very soft even though I told her, "harder". What made it worse was that I could feel her fingernails digging in my feet. UGH! My husband said his massage was OK, but nothing special. There are better massage places around the area. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time and money here. read more

First you are told to pay upfront first for services, places has musty smell to it and walls are thin you can hear everything. Ok massage but the ladies tend to resort to walking in your back rather than using hands or elbows to knead your tight areas. They immediately ask you to give 15 bucks as their tip. read more

I got a couple massage with my friend and it was amazing!!! At first the were walking on me, literally walking with their legs in my back, legs hands and butt. It's was painful but I'm a good way And than gentle massage, not too hard and not too gentle, they used hot stones too. I had a wonderful experience! Thank you! read more

Did body and foot massage. Body massage was sooo good but know that they do step on your back. Hot stone and hot towels included. The foot massage was very relaxing as well. You have to pay upfront and add tip later. Hard working staff. read more

Best massages ever for the price!! Friendly and polite masseuses. As a runner, I come every two weeks to give my feet a good massage. Always leave the establishment with my feet feeling as I'm walking on pillows. I also bring my out of town friends and treat them too a good foot rub after walking all day. read more

The male masseuse here slapped my ass mid massage and tried to put his hand between my legs. Def don't go here if you're a woman. If you're a man I guess it's ok. It's mostly just a wack shack. read more

I was walking around Chinatown and had an urge for a massage ( no hanky panky lol ) I went into this place for a back rub and foot rub with some hot stone :-) The back massage was fabulous..although it hurt a bit but a close mouth doesn't get fed so she cannot read your mind! You got to tell her. My foot rub .. Hmn i was dissatisfied, it wasn't a rub..she only knocked them a bit and ran her arms up and down my legs. Will I be going back? Probably just for the real foot rub...I wouldn't do the combo back and foot though. read more

I had booked a hot stone massage . The hot stone part lasted only 10 minutes out of the 60 minutes. My therapist was through in her massage but I felt more pain than relaxation. She also talked the entire time about nothing important. She also added to my discomfort by dressing provocatively. And when she put a hot towel on me it felt like a rag. When it was over I gave her 18% tip and she said that it wasn't enough. She said there was a minimal tip of 25% ... Wtf?! Needless to say I won't be coming back here . I am done with these terribly cheap massages. You get what you pay for. TIP groupon is the same as price as the place read more

These masseuses are SOOO good and they are super sweet too. I went for a 45 min back rub and it actually felt like way longer. They did the hot stones and everything. Amazing! Recommend read more

I got the $40 hour long back massage which is effectively like a sports/deep tissue as far as working out the kinks. Hard price to beat. Place is no frills, privacy curtains are thick so you don't see your neighbors. As far as the massage- the women have ungodly strength in their hands for their size, they asked about comfort/pressure level several times and largely professional- had timers, clean linens and towels. Then why 2 stars? After my massage, I planned on giving standard 15% tip but was strong-armed into handing over more- Apparently there is a $10 tip MINIMUM per hour!! which is outrageous due to the fact that 1. Nowhere is this prefaced before the massage- no mention or any signs on the wall. 2. A 25% mandatory tip is just egregious. Despite the decent massage, I won't be going back. read more

I spent a day out with my family in Chinatown just doing some shopping and browsing. I heard about the inexpensive and plentiful massage therapy places in Chinatown and decided to get one that day. I came across several massage locations and decided to try this one out because of its cheap prices and also because they advertised the hot stones and heated tables. $40 for 1 hour massage? I usually spend $80 for 1 hour across the river. So I definitely had to try it out. The guy in the front desk was very friendly and so was my massage therapist. My therapist talked to me for the initial 5-10 minutes of my massage, getting to know me, where I'm from etc, etc. I didn't mind the small talk, but it felt slightly awkward trying to speak when my face is smushed inside a small hole in the table. The massage itself was great - just the right amount of pressure, and she knew exactly what places needed more work on even without mentioning it (I have really bad muscular tension on the right side of my neck, shoulder, and upper back). The only reason why I give this place four stars was because the hot stones and towel were so hot I almost jumped out of the table! I mean eventually I got used to the warmth but for the first several seconds I tried so hard not to freak out. And I usually enjoy the hot stones and towel when I get a massage. So my first massage experience in Chinatown was generally good. I would also like to try the other surrounding massage places as well. Since I'm not from around the area and taking the PATH just for a massage is a hassle for me, I probably won't be a regular at this place. But if for any reason I'm in Chinatown again, I may come back here again. read more

It is a very weird looking place :-) Communist spirit and staff :-) It was my very first time in China Town at all, so give me some credit. But the ladies know what to do. A very professional massage. I had no idea, my body was so stressed and tense. After the massage I felt like a new born! Attention: it is not a typical spa relaxing procedure. It is more about health. Recommend to people who work out intensively. read more

Loved my massage. It is very typical separation of people by curtains therefore you can hear almost everything is going on. Either way, it was really relaxing, the massage is fantastic; she worked out my kinks and gave me a deep massage. The hot stones were really nice as well. I have to say overall I'm really satisfied with my experience and will most likely come back. The only issue I have is because I wanted a couples' massage, I would've preferred for the curtain to be open so I can share experience with my partner but we were both satisfied. I think her massage was a little tougher than she likes...still recommend it though! They were very accommodating read more

2nd time here. Brought friends this time. Phenomenal inexpensive massages. Not the best atmosphere, but the massage is $40 for 60 minutes. My therapist was excellent and experienced! Our usual spot in China Town closed after 15 yrs, this is our new go to! Oh- reflexology is pretty amazing here too!!! read more

Not good. Massage was awful. Place was dirty. Bathroom horrible. They demanded a tip for a one hour massage that was the worst of my life. Never going back. read more

Walked in with some friends and was seen right away. (Christmas Eve, around 8:30 PM.) Place seems clean and staff are friendly. Got a 15-minute back massage for $15. Pretty good! Very thorough, back and arms, feelin' energized! My friends went on to get foot rubs, but I was content with the back rub. They offered to extend the back rub another 15 minutes and give me a foot rub -- just say "no, thank you" and they'll finally stop asking :) Would definitely recommend and bring tourist friends. read more

Wang Jiao Spa - These were the prices as of December 2015. They accept credit cards but charge a fee to use them. - Massage Near Me - New York, New York

I came here for a couples massage (couples massage is always cheaper). They have two levels of pressure: soft and hard. I had soft and they used their time well In the 60 minutes (30 front and 30 back) my husband had hard, where they stand on your back. I go here every time I need to relax. My masseuse was Sally. Minimum mandatory $10 tip read more

I really love there! i had a massage recently in the new location on 70 Bayard St (basement) in China town. There are some comfortable chairs all around. They gave me lots of suggestions about other ways to care for my back. That was really helpful for my health. I am a nurse. I knew some skills to look after myself. However, they were more professional than me. I was so relaxed during this processing. I will be coming back! read more

From the minute I was led into the room the masseuse talked about how I had to pay a tip at the end and she continued to ramble on about how she doesn't get paid much throughout the massage. The massage was great but the woman wouldn't shut up until she got her tip at the end and she had horrible breath. She was very happy in the end with her tip, I think I left $10 which is standard. I guess there are some cheapskates out there who tip based on what they paid for a Groupon voucher but that is no excuse for her behavior. The woman was extremely unprofessional and I was uncomfortable throughout the entire massage. Also, they charge a $4 additional tax for using a Groupon read more

Terrible! Probably the worst massage I've ever had and I had tons of them. I don't think I've ever had my bones and spine rubbed so aggressively. There was no rhyme or reason to the sequence of moves and the pressure. I almost got up the table 5 minutes into it and leave. I was looking to make a point by tipping only 10% but even that is not allowed, you are required to tip a minimum of $10. I wasn't gonna mess up my feng shui further by arguing. Anyways, hope someone else checks the reviews first. I didn't. read more

I purchased a groupon for a 60 min massage it was a Very pleasant massage and hot stone treatment. Would definitely recommend. The place was busy but very clean and the staff acted professional. read more

I had a very good experience here here. I got a 30 min foot rub and a 30 minute massage, all for $40. A deep tissue massage can be painful, so communication with the massage therapist is really important. Was not asked to tip but did so because the service was good. The older woman was excellent! read more

I'm pretty picky with my massages and I was very happy with the service that I received. The ambience is typical Chinatown but the service was very good and I would definitely return. read more

We were looking for good foot massage place after we got scammed by a couple of places in flushing Queens on main st(please do not even go there to get a massage) Finally we found this place and tried 30mins($20) to see how good they are. Guess what? The best massage ever I had. We ended up extended to extra 30 more mins. I decided to go there every once a week. I definitely recommend this place for everyone. Btw, staff speak english and they are super friendly :) read more

This place is so not authentic massage place. I been go to Chinese massage place a lot, this one is the worst I ever been. The therapist were just basically hardly rubbing my body, not even massage. I don't feel any relief after the massage. I went there because I got this Groupon deal, but I need to pay extra "tax fee" in there. When I paid only $5 tip to the therapist because I don't feel this massage worth $40 where I paid in Groupon, but she insisted That i have to pay $10....very unsatisfied with the massage. read more

Update: Yes you all are good at what you do, but when you're given a tip, don't turn around, and ask if that's all the tip you're getting. It isn't our fault that you don't have any other bookings for the reminder of the day. We aren't here to makeup (in tips) for the money you won't be making from the lack of customers. The pair of you were given a $30 tip. read more

I was here as a female and requested a female masseuse. Halfway through the massage, the masseuse changed without me knowing! I wanted a female masseuse because i did not want a male rubbing my body and legs including near my thighs and ass. however, they did not care and i had a male masseuse touch my body without me knowing. My head was facing down the whole time so i did not know until i heard him tell me to turn around while i was naked!!! I only had my underwear on with a thin towel covering me. The masseuse should've asked if it was okay to switch people AND if it was okay for me to have a male touch me EVEN though i requested a female. read more

All I have to say is NO. Got a couples massage. My partner was in the "room" next to me, whats the point in booking a couples massage if you aren't even in the same area?! My husbands masseuse was doing acrobats on his back, he said it was the worst massage he'd ever gotten in his life. The girl I had was terrible and wayyy too fast which made the experience completely un-enjoyable. A massage should be relaxing and the rate at which she was moving her hands on me it was like she was in a race. The place was so disgusting and dirty. THEN to top it all off, I tipped 20% and was blocked from leaving because I didn't tip 25%. First of all, the experience was HORRIBLE. And you were a horrible masseuse, why on earth would I tip you over and above 20%. She should've been happy I even tipped 20%. Most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of. Do not waste your time and money here, you'll be very disappointed. read more

my favorite place in the city for low-priced, great service massage!

The receptionist is awful, rude and very unprofessional! Definitely not coming back there!! Was a bday gift and I just wish it was at another place where it's warming and welcoming and they don't yell at you and force you to give %40 tip because "they don't get paid well". Maybe someone should report them if they are being exploited by the awful owner.. read more

I'll say right off that it's clear that it all depends on who gives you your massage as far as what you'll rate the place. The five stars are for Vicki. She was attentive to my particular sore spots and checked on the pressure she was using frequently. She seems to just have a sense of what's needed and had a very pleasant way about her. There's no shortage of massage places in Chinatown. I've been to a couple others. I'd normally be put off by a downstairs place with the signs on the railing, etc. But, there was a good deal on Groupon and my back and hip were killing me. I got a same-day appointment. The person who answered the phone was very cordial and spoke English very well (this can often be a problem as my Chinese is sorely lacking!) I couldn't have been more pleased with the entire experience. I believe the other reviewers, but I just have to report that there was no talk about a minimum tip or about how underpaid my masseuse was. When it came time to tip, I simply considered just how hard this person had just worked on my behalf for the past hour and then tipped accordingly. read more

Great massage. Shout out to Vicky. Your my new favorite. See you next week. Doing a marathon in July. Need all the help I can get.

This place is dirty shouldn't even be called a spa the customer service is horrible the employees ask you to tip them before you even get in the door. When I walked in I felt like I was in someone's dungeon. The massage tables were very hard the towels smelled of mildew. Just an overall horrible experience walked in and walked out definitely was the most uncomfortable spa experience EVER!!!!!!!! read more

This is a great store for chinese therapy. I got a good dicount last week that just is 40 dollors for one hour. there is very comfortable and professional. By the way, I saw some gays came here for therapy because a handsome boy work there. if you like, you can try there. I will come back for sure. read more

I wish I could give zero stars. Please don't ever give this business your money. First, the white haired man who gave me the massage was the most misogynistic and condescending person I've ever encountered. His response to my multiple requests to lessen the pressure was a snide comment about how I was "overly sensitive" and that he was "barely using any pressure" (all spoken in Mandarin). This prompted me to inform him in Mandarin that he was causing me pain. He expressed shock that I happen to be Chinese and continued to ignore my requests while chiding me. The discovery of our shared culture led him to assume authority over what was "best for me," telling me I "must not move very much because [ I ] am so overly sensitive." He continued to provide his gratuitous life advice, telling me to "wake up earlier in the morning so [ I ] can go out for walks every day". After giving a reason why my muscles were so tight, I expected a compassionate response. Instead it prompted him to provide a monologue about how I am "trying too hard in life and should except life as it comes...the things [ I ] seek don't actually belong to me (I have no idea what that means) and [ I ] should stop pursuing [my] goals". I was forced to listen to all of this while wincing in pain. To top it all off, while I was walking out, I decided to provide a minimal tip (he did provide a service to me). However, I was berated by the receptionist as she pointed to a hand written sign taped to the table that stated that I "needed" to provide a $10 tip per person (that was three dollars more than 20 percent). I stood there telling her I didn't want to break my cash for change. She proceeded to say I could use my credit card for the tip tax free. After standing in the chaos and confusion with my partner for a while, I caved in and handed her $20 in cash. I walked out flustered and then it dawned on me that I was coerced into giving them more money. I was fuming. Thankfully, groupon was kind enough to provide me a refund for that horrifying experience. Also, the towels were crusty and disgusting. Please don't subject yourself to such torture. read more

This is the WORSE place ever.... from the time you walk in to the time you leave... went there for a hot stone couples massage...it was in a box that was separated with curtains... we begin the massage the two girls spoke to each other the whole time even when we told them to please be quiet.... one girl even answered her phone and had a whole conversation... the massage was horrible and they only used the hot stone for 2minutes... at the end they kept opening the curtains saying you finish while we were still getting dressed... they even started cleaning the tables while we were still in there so we went in the waiting area to finish putting on our coats .... the girls than proceed to stop cleaning the tables to follow us out just to chase us for tips which we had all intentions on given after we got ourselves together... all of this and my back is sore from this horrible massage...this place needs to be burned read more
