Love this place!! I would recommend this place to anyone they are not pricey especially with some of these other massage places that charge outrageous prices and the staff is always so sweet to us read more

Thank you yelp again! And thank you for the 3 other 5-star reviews.... I needed some pampering before a fly out of ORD, and when i used the yelp app on my iPhone I found Yu's. They opened up the end of February, so still pretty new. But - - this place was definitely well kept. One of the nicest looking "Foot Massage Spa's" of this type that I've been too -- wonderful, comfortable decor. The therapist definitely spent an equal time giving enough attention to my back, in addition to my feet. (Which was nice on this visit, since my lower back was a bit sore.) But if you're in the area - - you can't beat Yu's! And only $28.00 for an hour. Go! (Oh and by the way, I called and they were able to get me in immediately around 4:30pm on a Monday..) Nice! read more

Yu's Spa - Massage Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

Wonderful experience! They were so nice. The owner was accommodating. The service was amazing! I really recommend.

I don't know why they only got 3.5 stars. This place is awesome! Price is very reasonable. The masseuses here are going above and beyond. I have been here three times already and I am satisfied every time! Will come back. A pro tip, if you prefer deep tissue and maximum pressure, ask for Charlie. read more

Very pleased with the consistency and value we get from Yu's. We try to get there at least once a month and for $35 you get a very good 1 hour massage. The therapists are trained in the same way and learn the same routine so no matter who you get the massage is well timed and well done. Daniel read more

Been coming here for years and they always do an amazing job! My massage today was with Robert and he did a great job, asking me throughout the massage if the pressure was good and if I was comfortable. It's very nice and clean, everyone is polite, and they follow proper protocols with COVID-19. Get a 90 minutes hot stone they are very relaxing. I highly recommend them! read more

My personal experience was great. The staff was friendly, the massage was great (foot bath and hot stones etc), the place is clean . The fees are very reasonable. Would come back with no hesitation. read more

The reason we wanted to try this place because it was cheap. $29/ hour. The lady on the phone was like they have $45/ hour but she couldn't tell me on the phone when I asked what's the difference. So the $45 one is with oil.The massage was okay. This was my first time having Chinese massage. I usually have Thai massage. I didn't love it so I didn't want to give tips or anything and the lady stopped me and told me it's "optional" tip and showed me how much to give tips. "Satisfactory service" is $10-12. I weren't very happy that they stopped us and basically "forced" us to give tips. I thought it's optional so I gave a few bucks and of course, the massage guys weren't happy but oh well. Don't think I'll come back here. It was just okay and I didn't like the customer service. read more

Had a super great experience here for Valentine's Day. Did an hour massage and felt really good afterwards. Professional staff, very welcoming. Will definitely come back read more

Great service and nice staffs. I really enjoyed the hot stone massage. Recommended service

Don't understand the mediocre reviews. THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!! And it's fairly close to my house. I had Angel and she really is an angel lmao. Perfect pressure. I walked away feeling like a brand new person. Will definitely be back! read more

Been coming here for a couple years, always a very pleasurable experience! Friendly staff, very clean facility, great value. Will keep coming back! read more

6/8/20, I am a mailman in Palatine, IL.....and let me just say this place is awesome. Affordable rates with professional people who make you feel great. Phenomenal service. Everyone there is attentive & friendly. I have been to almost all massage places Palatine and this one by far IS THE BEST. They made my body feel amazing afterwards. read more

"Interesting" is the word I would use. It was not professional at all and I knew the price was to good to be true. They didn't even ask me to fill out paperwork upon entering like most places. They didn't ask how hard the pressure should be or if I have any places on me that I want to worked on. When I walked in I went in a room with curtains, there was zero privacy. The masseuse told me to keep my clothes on and that it would be an extra 10 dollars if I wanted to take them off and use oil. During my massage I heard every other customer in the room it was very annoying and not relaxing at all. It was THE worst massage of my life During the end of the massage he kept banging on my butt which was super weird and I don't understand why he kept touching it. I was so close to getting up and being like, "okay thank you I'm going now." But I didn't. Finally when it was over I went to leave and the girl at the desk asked for a tip. And when I only left five she asked for more. Honestly I don't think they're even certified massage therapists and god I hope no one goes there. read more

I have been here before in the past and my new place was booked so I decided to come back again and it was incredibly disappointing. I now know why Yu's was able to take us right away and the place in deer park had a 4 hour wait. We paid for the $45 hour massage that was supposed to be deep tissue and acupressure, the massage was no different than a standard $29 massage. I asked my lady to apply more pressure multiple times and she never did, it was comparable to a light Swedish massage. She also left the room 3 times, for at least a minute each if not longer. I also found it odd that they asked us to pay prior to the massage. read more

Charlie gave me a deep tissue massage it was just what I needed! It was exceptional!!!!! Great price great service great massage

I was there today and I got the best massage done by Sofia. I highly recommend them. Great service.

I was looking for something new to do with my friend, and decided to purchase a Groupon for a couple's massage here. Ladies were very friendly, and my friend loved his massage (first time). I wasn't a huge fan, as I am used to having massages at finer locations that provide the actual "spa" experience, but for the price, it wasn't a bad deal. I was, however, a little surprised to find out that the massages take place over your clothing, was a bit uncomfortable at times. I also wasn't a fan of having to dangle my short little legs over the table for the foot soak as the rest of my body lay flat. Not sure I would visit again, but as I stated, it was a good experience for my friend. read more

Overall it was an okay experience. In case you don't know about reflexology, it's an asian style massage where you keep your clothes on. Rooms are less private compared to to western massage. Ambiance: great. Lots of places have an open area where all the massage happens, so there isn't much privacy. However, this place has semi private rooms of 2 beds each. The lighting was great as well Neck: it was okay. The lotion dried out quickly, and my massage therapist didn't re-apply. After he did the back, he returned to the neck and did a pinching motion, which was not enjoyable Arms: great! No complaints. Wished. Lasted longer. Feet: The water was just barely lukewarm. As he was working on my neck, the water progressively became cooler. This is the first place I've been to where the water to soak your feet was cool. It definitely took a lot away from the experience. Otherwise, feet was good. There wasn't as much calf, thigh, or hamstring action as I wanted. Back: This was the worst part of the massage, unfortunately. I feel like at most places, the back is painful. However, this was more painful than most places. His elbow was on my spinous process a good chunk of the time. Sacrum: same as the back. Elbow to the sacrum was painful. Overall, I would come back, but not before trying other places. The other individual I was with rates this place highly 5/5, and this was his favorite reflexology place. Maybe is was just the different in massage therapist, so I would give this place a chance if you're reading read more

I come here with my friend every 2 weeks to get a massage. Worth the $29 for an hour massage (whole body) with your clothes on. I've never had a bad masseuse. The place is clean and for the most part quiet. Sometimes at night the lady on the phone can be loud and you can hear her down the hall but it doesn't bother me too much.. might bother someone else. It's not that private, just separated by curtains but again that doesn't bother me. Sometimes the person at the front can be a little pushy with the tip but I just learn to ignore them. read more

Wow. Amazing massages. Have been to many places before but the price and the massage are all beyond the services I've had at other massage businesses. The hot stone massage was great and relaxing. Very clean and comfortable. You can also do a massage with your partner in the same room which is a huge plus. Will be going there again! read more

Hello Friends This Spa truly is a hidden Jewel. Long story short; this was my 1st time at this Spa; main reason is because I live about and 1hr away close to Northwestern University in Evanston. When I got there unfortunately the masseuse that I was supposed to see was a no show no call & of course; at first, I was extremely disappointed because I had to drive so far but The owner Mr. Allen was able to control the situation extremely well. He set me up with another masseuse by the name of Tony and he was phenomenal!! I usually only do female masseuses but Tony has made me a believer and is truly a healer and talented with his techniques on relieving stress especially in the neck Area. Not to mention the prices; which I could not believe were extremely impressive; for all that they do! To the owner Mr. Allen and the masseuse Tony you have now gained one loyal client that will drive an hour just to come see you guys thank you and continue to be the wonderful healers you are. My personal grade: I would have to give Yu spa a strong B+ My only small concern is privacy as most of the massage tables are close to each other and maybe if they would do a call and confirm so that the client and the masseuse are on the same page that would have pushed my blog critique of the massage spa to an A but outside of that; again I still have to grade them and give them a strong B+ The owner mr. Allen was professional and Tony took pride in his massaging technique's! Brilliant work.... read more

Because I was having an overall achy feeling around my body, I thought it was time for getting a nice massage to relieve myself of all that underlying pain. Most services around here are quite pricy, but Yu's Spa sticks out of the grey mass by offering a great pricing that is hard to match! I went there not having too many expectations because it was just 29.00$ for one whole hour - however, the service was actually pretty decent! I liked the warm water bath for the feet, although it feels a little weird having your legs bent at a right angle while you are lying flat down. The massage itself was quite enjoyable, although she could have been a little firmer with her grips even after I told her to tighten her grip a little. Overall, it was a standard massage apart from the water-bath which I consider a little extra treat. I also liked the Chinese instrumental music that they were playing. Even though they were replaying the playlist after around fourty minutes, it was pretty hard to tell due to the fact that most of the songs sounded similiar. Maybe I was even listening to the same song the entire time and I just did not realize until later...well, not that this is of too much relevance. So, I was orginally going to rate this place with a solid five stars due to the cheap price and the good service. But what happened in the end, gave this entire experience a bad side note: Having not even yet completed my credit card payment, I was already prompted to pay a tip in cash. After asking if that were also possible on the credit card bill, I received a hesitant nod after a minute of blank staring. To make one thing clear - I certainly do not consider myself a generous tipper, but being asked if "that is all" after writing down 5.00$ on the tip section of the bill, I had already felt a little aggravated. That feeling was amplified when I was suddenly prompted to pay a 10.00$ tip - aha, so suddenly more than 30% tip is the way to go here? (I did my research afterwards, and it is not). End of the story is that I left in two minds: On the one hand, I liked the massage - but on the other hand, I felt that the entire payment procedure could be handled, let's say, more delicate. I don't know if I will come back, but maybe the cashier lady just had a bad day, so I do not want to let this incident ruin this rating too much. I give this place a solid four stars! read more

Ok, we booked a couples massage, we were together however the room is open the the entire salon. The wall does not go to the ceiling and the door way is open to the next massage area so my husband and I didn't want to talk at all because we didn't want to disturb others. Also the therapists did not speak English so we were confused about what to do. Ended up getting my massage with shorts on...weird. Most of the massage was good, included hot stones which were nice. Will find another place next time. read more

Excellent massage great prices! Only thing my girl disappeared and I wasn't sure if she was done she wasn't she got hot cloths for my feet and legs but didn't tell me I'll be right back. Shared room clothes on wear loose comfy clothes. read more

I had a great massage at this place. My whole family enjoyed their individual massages. Totally recommend this place. The hot stones were wonderful and the people were so friendly. read more

This place is your typical Foot Spa massage joint, but a couple of steps up. First of all, the receptionist is friendly AND speaks English. Second, they have several couples rooms. The receptionist apologized that the room with the parallel massage beds was in use, but our room with two beds end to end worked out just fine. My husband and I called on the way and we were able to get an appointment for 2 in 10 minutes. I didn't get the names of the women working on us, but they were both very quiet but very good. Neither asked for pressure preferences, but they started off gentle and seemed to sense when to back down. The hot foot soak was perfect. I could have skipped the inside the ear massage, but I liked the popping, slapping, and pounding that another reviewer complained about. Tips if this is your first foot spa massage: women should wear a loose tank top and yoga pants or baggy shorts. Men may be asked to remove their shirts. Remove all jewelry and empty your pockets. Don't forget to silence your cell phone too. They accept all credit cards except AmEx. This place lets you put tip on the credit card, too. (Unusual for this type of spa). The price did go up to $29 for 1 hour, but it is definitely worth every minute. I noticed that there is also a Glenview location, which I will check out next time, since it is closer to my house. Glad we stumbled upon this place today. Thanks, fellow Yelpers! read more

Do not go here! Instead go to Chinese Foot Spa on Rand. I frequent there a lot but when I saw the GROUPON for Yu's, I said why not? I made the appointment on Monday knowing that Sunday's typical fill up fast. It was for a couples massage. They took my name and number. This Sunday we showed up for our massage 10 minutes early only to find out that the rude lady at the front desk did not have my reservation. She was rude and unprofessional. I showed her my phone and how I was on the phone with them on Monday for over a minute but she didn't believe me. Save yourself disappointment and distress, go to Chinese Foot Spa. P. S. I got a refund for my GROUPON. read more

Great price for great service! I've been here a few times before the pandemic, and this is my first time back since things opened back up. The service is as great as I remember. Only difference is the price went up, but it's still a better offer than most other places. $35 for a 60 min full body message including foot soak. And the staff is very accommodating, kind, and well trained. read more

I am OBSESSED with Yu's Spa! It is an incredible massage for an amazing price: $28 for an hour long full body massage! So I have gotten a lot of massages at many different places. Right after Yu's opened, my mom brought me there but told me it is a little different from most places. First, you are not undressed. Instead, you get the massage fully clothed. Because of that, you get your massage with other people in the room. My mom and I got the "couples" room, so it was just the two of us in the room. I was a little skeptical but I figured I would give it a try. They do a GREAT job. The ambiance is very nice and relaxing, with soft spa music and water features and dimmed lights. You start lying face-up in a recliner type of chair and you soak your feet in a tub of hot water, which is really nice and relaxing. They also drape towels on you so you stay warm. Then the recliner is moved flat so you can turn over. After going for the first time, I was hooked. It has been open since February and I have already been there three times. I don't even live in the suburbs; I go to school in Champaign, and come to Yu's basically whenever I am home. I can't remember the name of my therapist the first time, but Tom and Sarah have both been great. Keeping your clothes on means you can do more active type of stretching. For people who have gotten massages before, you will definitely have a great experience. It is also an awesome place if you have avoided getting professional massages if you are uncomfortable being unclothed. Plus the price is amazing!! $28?! Are you kidding me?! Unbelievable! I would recommend this place to everyone! read more

I must commend Yu's Spa on their great customer service! I received a gift certificate to Yu's Spa two Christmases ago and then I lost it. And of course when I found it, it had expired at the beginning of 2015. I called the spa and inquired whether they would still accept the gift certificate because I thought, why not?! Doesn't hurt in asking...the only thing I would lose is time! To my surprise, the woman I spoke to allowed me to use my expired gift certificate. So I set an appointment for the same day. I believe a regular price 1-hour massage is $29. This is an Asian-style massage spa, so massages are done fully clothed. The store front is quite small; there is a counter and a waiting area. When you walk in, you're greeted with the relaxing scent of lavender and dimly lit corridors. The corridors have rooms (not sure how many) with two large, comfy masseuse tables. I was glad to know I was alone in my room and you only sometimes faintly hear others getting a massage. The soft music was also soothing. My masseuse told me to place all my belongings on a small table and to remove my coat, sweater, socks, and boots! I would really recommend not wearing tight yoga leggings like I did because they require you to hike your pants all the way to your knees (you can just imagine my discomfort). They begin with having you soak your feet in a tub of warm water and massage your head. I would also caution you to not wear so much makeup because I swear I walked out with half an eyebrow! They eventually work their way to your arms and legs and then remove your feet from the bath to massage your feet. Then they tell you to flip over and they massage your arms and legs again and then your back. Some would say this Asian-style massage is much more rough and deep in pressure, but I tend to enjoy it! The only thing I would say was strange about my massage is that toward the end, my masseuse climbed up on top of me to massage me using her body weight through her knees. It didn't hurt and was quite nice, but I could only imagine how it would look like if someone were to walk in! Haha. This place has great customer service, a soothing atmosphere, and their service I s well worth the money! read more

Great 50 minute massage for $29. Place is clean and friendly. The only thing they need to change immediately is understand that initially putting your feet flat in that bucket of water while you're laying down on your back with your legs/knees bent at a 90 degree bend is a very awkward and unnatural if not detrimental position. Or get much larger buckets so our feet can wander and float freely. read more

I can preface this with I LOVE THIS PLACE. Masseuses Julie, Marry and Sue are incredibly strong and deliver relaxing techniques. It is a casual environment where you wear your clothes but it is hands down better than a spa. The best massage in the Western suburbs. read more

Been here a few times now. Overall it's ok and for a few reasons. The place is really clean and the ambiance is nice which are positives. The inconsistency on the massages is what gets me. One guy I feel was falling asleep while massaging my feet! I couldn't see but I felt him stop for a few seconds then keep going, then slowly stop... They also use plastic gloves I think. At least that's what It feels like when they're working your feet... Had some good and had some bad. I come here only when I'm stuck in the burbs by work... read more

A really solid, good massage. They really get deep into your tissues. I came in with a specific problem in my right leg and hip and he spent a little extra time and attention on it. They threw in some hot stones that I wasn't expecting it which I really enjoyed. Overall a great experience as always. read more

Great massage and price! Enjoyed the hot stones and deep tissue attention to my back, it's like the masseuse the knew exactly where I needed his attention the most. I also took my pregnant friend and she was very happy with her pre natal massage. Definitely recommend going. read more

They are phenomena! If you get an hour massage, you get the full hour, none of that talking beforehand like most places which eats into your time. They also don't push products on you which Is also super annoying at places. The prices cannot be beat!!! read more

I must say this place was great and I will definitely go back and here is why... 1- short notice I was able to book same day appointment for a couples massage. 2- place is very specious for the location. 3-staff is friendly and location is super clean. 4-massage experience exceeded expectations. 5- price is great for 60 minutes massage for 29.00 you awesome deal. 6- when we arrived we only waited about 2 minutes. 7- only reason why is 4 stars is I wish there was more privacy between the tables and wish they communicate better with you. Other than that I will definitely return, I enjoyed the session and will definitely recommend it. read more

I've been going to Yu's now for a few months and I've become a big fan. They charge $29 for a one hour massage which is a great value. They soak your feet in a tub of hot water and they are one of the few places I've gone that actually get the muscles in my lower back to unwind. If you are used to the traditional American massage places in the area, this may not be for you. The rooms are semi-private with no doors (just curtains), and it can sometimes be a little noisy. However, it's usually easy to schedule an appointment and the price is right. I'm becoming a regular there. read more

Excellent place, I've been going there for years. Proper covid precautions are being practiced. I strongly recommend the 90 minute hot stone massage. read more
