Came here through a Groupon and it was one of the best massages I've had in Chicago. It's a super…read moreclean facility, all the bed sheets and blankets they use were all clean. The mattresses had warmers which was a nice touch that we weren't lying down to a cold massage bed. This massage is definitely not for the feint of heart. I asked for the pressure to be hard for the massage because I'm always used to people using less pressure than I want, but this one was borderline painful but exactly what I needed to get the knots out of my neck and shoulders. The massage therapist used her arm like a rolling pin and relentlessly kept kneading. They also use a technique where they're doing a plank using your butt which was a little unique but still felt good. Everyone here was super polite and not really talkative. Pleasantly surprised that both our therapists were Mongolian, which connected the dots for me as to why the name of the business. I haven't met many Mongolian folks in my life. They do tend to use a lot of oil during their massage, so forewarning about that before you go. You'll leave with a little oil residue on your skin. Still a 10/10 massage and would definitely come back! These's lots of free street parking available.

I was greeted right away and was directed to the room that had large private spaces separated by tents in dim lighting. They ask you to take off your top and bottoms and leave on your underwear when you get your massage. You lay on a comfy bed and the massage therapist will bring in a warm basket of water to soak your feet in. Michael did a wonderful job taking care of me! He applied pressure where I needed it the most and checked in with me to make sure I was okay intermittently throughout the session. I didn't want it to end! I will definitely be back to visit!

They never ask you any questions just open a door let you in and then close it. I was confused so opened the door and she says take it off. Ok now I know she won't be walking back in for a min and get ready and under the sheets. During the massage I felt comfortable and she gave me a quality professional massage. They have lots of other services and apparently a sauna which a tour would have been nice. Can't beat the price and quality so I will be back and perhaps try and ask more questions about the space.
