Best Spa

Wonderful experience with friend… Very gentle and kind, I am looking forward to coming back again.

Came in with Pain came out a new man!!! Great massage, nice friendly staff. They even parked my car. I’m definitely coming back more often affordable pricing!

This is definitely a great place to ease those tense muscles. My whole body massage was beyond amazing by a very nice gentlemen. The establishment was very clean and the staff and owner were so very nice. My husband and I have already discussed making this a weekly treat since the price is unbeatable. Best spa we will be back, thank you for everything!

Massage parlors very nice, very clean, service is very warm, very comfortable today, not the waist, massage done to alleviate the pain, I will go. thank you all!

horrible horrible HORRIBBLLEEE massage. omg. me and my sister went here to get a massage since we were in new york for the weekend. i usually go to kimberly’s spa in manhattan but since we were in flushing, decided to give this place a try. when you walk in they ask you to take off your shoes and put on slippers. this didn’t make any sense to me because they send you to this changing room where they give you a two piece shirt and shorts set to put on. They have locker rooms to put your stuff in so I dont know why we had to take the shoes off and leave them at the front when they had plenty of rooms in the locker. next we went into a couples massage room. I had a guy masseuse and my sister had a female masseuse. my masseuse sucked! he was soooo light. then when i asked him to go a little harder, he started massaging HARD. it was so painful. he kept massaging hard up my spine. my sisters wasn’t any better either. her massage was just uncomfortable. We came out in more pain than we went in. Also, if you are looking for a relaxing massage I would not recommend this place. they are SOOOO LOUD! they are literally talking and holding conversations in the lobby. THE BOSS is. I mean how do you expect to offer clients a relaxing massage when you’re talking and laughing?! Me and my sister tipped $ 10 (believe me I wish I tipped less but they REQUIRE $ 10 minimum). They were annoyed when they saw that’s all I tipped. C’mon now. I always tip above if service is good but there’s was horrible and I wanted them to know that. I would give this place no stars if I could. save your money.

They are pretty nice & efficient. They also do a really good job on all massages. I’ve gone for 1hr full body massage like idk, maybe 5times & I went once for 1hr foot massage. Every time, great experience!!! The only thing that is just wrong, is that they demand a 10 $ tip. For the prices of the massages, a 10 $ tip is really not that bad, I think it’s fine, but I know some people have a fit about it. They even have a happy hour where the massages are even more cheaper than they already are! I continue to go here & always will until I find a different better/​place. They are clean & it’s always quiet & calm & very tranquil experience. You can’t beat the prices & they do a great job!

I love it here! I try to get massages as frequently as I can (In my line of work I benefit from at least 2 massages per month). Jennifer is the best… She literally takes me to a different place, my knots and tension melt away. Peter and Tiger are good if you want very strong, deep tissue (painful during, but very effective after). Everyone is so nice and it is so clean. I love how you get your own locker, too. Always a good temperature inside, and nice background music. Also, I can’t believe the low prices! You’ll never find a gem like this!

Came here twice for foot massage and whole body massage. This is the best massage spot as compared to many other mediocre places I been to in the past. Not to mention that the spa is incredible clean and staff are very friendly!

I’ve been on a massage binge for the last 2 months. Getting one every week from these well rated places on Unilocal that’s located in flushing and manhattan chinatown. I have to say Best Spa is the best. They have lockers to put your things in, shorts and a top the change into. The technique of the 2 different masseusses I had here were better than the others I had. I’d probably go here more often if it were closer to the 7 stop

They were rude to us and the two ladies who gave me and my friend a massage didn’t know proper massage techniques. They also force $ 10 min tip. Not cool.

Came here twice and brought my friend from California. He said one of the best massages he’s got. Much better than those expensive spa who don’t know what they’re doing most of the time. My foot massage was incredible. Also note the café downstairs is pretty good also.

I had a pretty decent massage here. The spa is really nice — it’s incredibly clean, and they have proper locker rooms for all your stuff. When you arrive, they give you a freshly laundered outfit to wear. The massage rooms are cordoned off from each other by curtains, which means that you can sometimes hear alarms going off in other rooms, etc. This wasn’t too problematic for me, as they play nice soothing music over everything. The spa also has a ton of capacity, so I had no trouble getting a spot as a walkin.
The prices are really low, although average for that area (there are a ton of spas/​salons in this general vicinity that offer reflexology, etc) at low price points, although I suspect these salons are of varying quality. This was my first experience with a Korean style spa. The massage was very relaxing, although I do wish she’d worked the pressure points a bit more (especially some knots I had in the shoulders/​back). That said, it felt good.
As other people have mentioned, the tipping situation here is a little unusual, at least compared to other salons I’ve been to. As I was checking out, I handed the masseuse a 20% cash tip. The guy behind the counter took a look and said, «Actually we require at least a $ 10 tip, because that’s the only money they make.»
I was happy to pay a higher tip (she did a good job), but it felt odd. First off, if a $ 10 tip is mandatory, it’s really a fee (as another reviewer mentioned). It should be mentioned on a sign or something. Finally, the masseuse isn’t paid by the salon? I get that their prices are low, but I felt weird about it, esp considering there’s no way of knowing the salon doesn’t take a cut of the tips as well. (I know that hair stylists are often branded independent contractors and salons take a commission of their volume, but I didn’t realize similar systems were in place for massage therapists as well)

An excellent place to release your all day long tiredness. Clean environment with friendly staff who know how and which part of the body to rub and press so you have a relaxed sleep. Hot stone was amazing specially the first touch of it on your back. You will also enjoy the feelings when they leave hot stones on your back during massage of your legs. Best in Flushing!

I usually go to Chinese spas for massages, but decided to try a Korean one yesterday. Got a 1 hour foot massage and since it was a guy doing it, I was a little worried it might be a little painful. Well… either he was scared of bruising my feet or was being lazy and not putting in any effort because my grandma could have done a better job…
He basically just squeezed my feet and calves and occasionally pressed into some pressure points in my feet, but that was probably his easiest 1 hour massage.

I’ve been to do many spas and this place is far best out of all. Other places I feel like you’re paying them to rub oil on you for an hour but here, they focus on where I’m tensed most. I try to come here everytime I get the chance and get body & foot massage and I always feel like a new person after. This facility is very clean & sanitary out all the places I’ve been to as well.

Got 1 hour massage today based on amazing reviews. What a great experience!
Echo other Unilocalers about this place being clean and staffs being professional, so I won’t go into details on that.
The place is fairly small, only has about 9 massage beds, so making appointments is vital there. Also, there were more male masseurs than female, so if you have a gender preference, you need to let them know during booking.
We happened to be there before 3pm and they offered happy hour special — 1 hr body massage for $ 28 vs. $ 35 after 3pm (+$ 10 tip).
Massage itself was really good. My masseur (Peter) spent a lot of time working on my neck, my shoulders, and my lower back (all my problem areas). He spent about 40 mins on my upper body and 10 min each on my leg… it was great! Will go back again!

I’ve been walking around with what amounts to a stiff neck that insidiously crept all the way down my back shoulder. Like a lion with a thorn in his paw I mewled and growled and wanted to eviscerate anyone who crossed my path, to give these happy, relax-​muscled people a taste of my suffering.
Frightened by my own increasingly feral demeanor, I gave in and went to Best Spa, that joint right above Caffeine Fix in the booming mini-​Koreatown in my hood.
Walked up without appointment. Greeted warmly. Changed right out of my street shoes into slippers. They asked if I preferred male or female therapist, and as always, I say it doesn’t matter. If they’ve got fingers, I want them to fondle me.
Led to the women’s locker room, where I changed into crisp cotton top and shorts. Left all my stuff in the individual lockers – very nice touch!
The host led me to my room, checking to see how masochistic I am when it comes to massages — «Deep tissue? Are you sure?» (See all my other massage reviews.)
Disrobed in the room, lay face down on the table, the SHE came in… my savior, my death. She had that take-​no-​prisoner approach I both love and hate. Unlike other sadistic therapists, she asked a few times if the pressure was ok. I said uh-​huh, mentally crying and bearing it.
For the regular folk who like relaxing massages, other reviews suggest they are capable of that. For those looking for serious intensity I have not found since Graceful Services, this joint is tops.
I might have come out of that fantastic massage like a survivor of a Saw film, but my neck/​shoulder problem was solved. She spotted all my trouble zones and destroyed every opposition. She zoomed a bit in the last half since she spent so much time in tune up mode, but it felt thorough nonetheless. There were even a couple of times I thought — hey, that’s something new!
The best part, the price! What an amazing value, compared to Manhattan prices for Asian joints. No wonder other reviewers and touting this as a weekly thing. At the regular price point of under $ 40 for an hour, it’s a reasonable treat.
I finally found my massage mecca!

This spa is located above Caffeine Fix! I have been studying at Fix for almost a week and my shoulders and upper back were aching. At one point, I couldn’t take the pain anymore so I called Best Spa to see if they had an availability the same afternoon. The woman spoke English but not too fluently. They mainly speak Chinese and maybe Korean here. Once I told her I was downstairs in Fix, she encouraged me to come upstairs. 5 minutes later and after taking off my shoes, she greets me very warmly and guides me to the women’s locker room.
This spa is pretty clean and well-​organized. They give you a key to a locker and a set of clean uniform (t-​shirt and shorts). They have laundry machines running outside of the bathrooms so you know their towels and clothes are clean.
My massage was really nice and relaxing. It was a thorough all-​body massage and my masseuse spent some extra time focusing on my shoulders. Normally I would say «no pain, no gain» but her techniques weren’t as painful as I had expected and my body felt completely renewed afterwards! So it’s more like «little pain, lots of gain!»
$ 35 for an hour, which is an amazing deal! I thought $ 7 (20%) was a good tip but was informed that there’s a minimum $ 10 tip (tax-​free). Not really sure if that’s considered a tip, more like a fee… but my masseuse deserved $ 10 anyway. There’s also tax if you pay with credit card.
They have $ 200 gift cards, which they sell for $ 160 and can be used between 2 people. So for the price of 4.5 massages, you get 5.7… not sure how the math works out (extra massage?) but if you live nearby and want to pamper yourself, it’s worth it! Far cheaper than any groupon or livingsocial deal for a quality massage!

This place is amazing. Inexpensive and they know where all the pressure point. Not just wasting time touching me. Highly recommended. I would definitely come back more often. :)

Spend 2 – 3 hours here and you will emerge a healthier, happier, stronger, leaner, YOU.
For the truly bent out of shape, ask to buy a package of sessions. And here the owners speak Chinese and Korean, I have to say, haggling should not be avoided.
as good as it gets comes up short. the amenities that Best Spa provides justify the prices you pay. Hurry before the daytime specials become a thing of the past.
