Basically a fee for "service" type of place. If it is what you are looking for it is probably one of the best in Hong Kong. My friend is loaded and wouldn't settle for less than the best even in this. So for that reason I'm sure it is one of the best, just not for me, I will take a pass.

On my last visit to Hong Kong I discovered feet steaming.

It does miracles restoring tired feet and warming your body in cold weathers. I would say it beats out mediocre foot massage. It's a great way to get some rest during the day, when you don't have more time for a real sauna. Not to mention the numerous health benefits the sweating is supposed to provide, such as detoxification and improving circulation. It's the first time I visit New Born, I didn't know that this place has almost 10 branches in Hong Kong. Foot steaming is their specialty and they know how to do it right. You are given a set of clothes to change into, and a spacious locker to put your belongings. I appreciate the change of clothes as you do sweat - not just your legs but your whole body. While you are changing, the staff turns on the machine. You are given a menu of 20 herbal mix to pick from, from improving the skin tone to vitality for men. After adding the herbal package you can put your lower feet into the bucket, adjust the heat to your liking, and sit there for the next 45 minutes taking a nap, playing with your phone, reading a book or do whatever you fancy. The staff is very hard working, busy refilling the tea cups (when she notices my cup still full, she tells me I need to water up, and their roasted barley tea is quite delicious), rinsing and disinfecting the buckets after a customer leaves, etc. They don't have masseurs in house, but when I said that I want a massage, they arranged one to come to do it after my steam session. If you can call ahead and give them more time to arrange somebody, do so, better chance to book a good masseur instead of whoever's free. Will definitely be a regular of this chain, with all the walking I do during the visit.

I have to admit I wasn't expecting much from Thai Zone; a newish massage spot on the second floor in the Rose Mansion amid the chaos of TST, but it was what I was hoping for: clean, affordable, authentically Thai, and above all, very satisfying. This area of Kowloon is fairly dodgy, but surprisingly Thai Zone's facilities are anything but. The floors were redone and super shiny, the odor in the room had this tart incense like aroma, and the massage chairs were comfy. The owner, Murphy was quick to greet with a cup of Thai tea, which was lukewarm fruity blend of something wonderful. By the end of my session, I had no less than 10 mini cups of it. I think I could drink it all day. We started off with a change into flexible pajamas and then a 45 minute foot massage, which was done by one of the Thai masseuses. While grinding the gears of my feet, she was able to converse in a variety of languages, which was mighty impressive. I won't lie, the foot and subsequent leg massage was incredibly intense to where I had to bite a towel for a minute or two, but I was assured this was normal and supposedly better for loosening up the muscles. The rule of thumb is to bear the pain and embrace the comfort after the fact. Then it was off to the races with the back/body massage. I was always used to Thai massages being conducted on a floor mat than a massage bed, but it didn't matter: She got me in poses that would make any yoga warrior proud. The one that provided the most relief was one where her feet were on my back, her arms were pulling my arms and soon my back responded with a series of clicks that were chiropractor worthy. There were moments where I nearly fell asleep. It's only a matter of time before I visit this gem again, especially when the joints are feeling stiff and the knots are invading again. Lastly, call ahead of time for 10pm or later visits and be sure to bring cash as they don't accept credit card yet. A little gratuity never hurts for the masseuses and drink all the tea that you can!
