The worst massage ever! I paid for an hour and walked out after 30 minutes. I couldn’t take anymore of the pain. I’ve had a lot of massages, some not good, but I’ve never quit, always tipped even despite it being subpar… I asked for a manager and she said no manager was there. If you like boney knuckles being pressed into your tailbone repeatedly 50 times in the same motion… Then be all means this is the place for you… I tried to tell her what I liked and didn’t like but she didn’t understand and it went from bad to worse.

1) They DONOT have any knowledge in giving massages. 2) They DONOT speak English. I paid $ 55 for a one hour massage, but I only got 30 minutes and she said she was finished and even asked for«mandatory tip». Don’t waste your money; this place sucks.

I believe that you should be lenient when judging the customer service of immigrant businesses because the language barrier and cultural differences can result in misunderstandings. That said, I left this place because the woman at the front was so shady and deliberately rude. An impatient Asian woman with glasses told me it was $ 45 for an hour. I gave her $ 60 in cash, and she tried to hustle me over to the massage room. I requested my change and she said, «You get your change after the massage.» I told her I wanted my change now, and she huffed loudly as if she couldn’t believe that I wanted my change immediately. I wanted no part of her rudeness, so I took all of my money and left. Don’t bother with this place. Go to Dtox Massage just south of the In-n-Out. Dtox does an amazing massage and charges $ 5 less than this rude place.

i’ve been there few times since last year. the massage was great back then. it was pretty good the last time i went there. I kept told her do it harder and she said she had busy day. I let her do it little more and merely felt she is working. I asked if there is other massues and she said she was the only one there. so I just gave up and letted her barley rub my body. in the beginning, I told the massuse that I am having lower backache and want her to focus on that. she didn’t spend more than two minutes on there. I mean you KNOW that when they are putting effort or not. I would understand if she was incapable of doing a good job but she were being lazy. when about 40 minutes went, I heard there was another massues greeting other customer next room. she lied that she was the only massues left and didn’t try to give me a good massage. I wouldn’t be so upset if it was her lack of skill or lack of stemina that result bad massage but it was her laziness. $ 20 foot massage would be much better than that. just wasted 45. and in the way out, I was going to tip her only $ 5 because service was so suck. before I hand the tip to her she asked me that I forgot to tip her. I wasn’t even exiting the room! I gave her 5 bux and asked if there was change of management. she said no. I don’t get how they got so suck over a year.

I do not recommend you to use this facility, It is a filty dirty, and they have zero manneers. The room was very cold and I kept telling the lady that I need a blanket, but she kept ignoring me and i was so fed up and rushed out and forgot my bra there. I called right back and asked them to hold it for me and I gave them my phone number. however I was not able to go right away and when I went to get it, they lied and told me they threw it away. They called the manager and she was rude and said it was my fault for not going early and yelled at me. I am sure someone there took the bra, It was a brand new Victoria’s Secret bra. The owner did not even suggest to make it up to me in any way… extremely disappointing. Bad service, dirty place, and they would steal your clothes if you forget them there. Rita A

last time i went there(a few months ago), it seemed like pretty much their entire staff changed. and i got a very bland massage from a strange woman. i miss my powerful handed girls. but i’m now afraid to go back.

great, thorough massage. I tend to scour Unilocal looking for cheap massages not because they’re cheap, but because the best hole in the wall places don’t charge you for ambience etc and just get to the point. Yes, my lady was a little sick(sniffling throughout) but she was great! No, most of them don’t speak English, but why do you care? If you say ouch I’m pretty sure they’ll know what you’re trying to get across. Note to ladies: I don’t know about other people there, but my lady spread my legs apart like they were her own. I was glad I’d just visited the esthetician… If you catch my drift.

I was nervous when first going there as it looks questionable. Once you set foot inside & see that it’s an open room with blinds separating each massage area, it made me more comfortable as it’s a legit business. Figured it would be because of it’s location. I try to go once a week or two, sometimes I have gone twice in a week depending on the tension in my body. The first time I went was not good but it was when they first opened. While I was waiting, I overheard a conversation going on outside that there are new masseuses in two weeks. At first I vowed not to go back but figured it was worth another shot since it’s $ 35 per hour for the body massage. Never got the $ 25 foot massage so can’t write a review about that. I don’t ask for any one lady to see which I like best. For the most part, they are all pretty good. So I’m fine with anyone I get. There seems to be about 8 – 9 different people working the tables, each with their own strengths. Some are more general & most are more focused on problem areas as much as they can as they want to cover your whole body during the hour. They always ask how strong you want in the beginning. It would be nicer if they had full private rooms to not hear the talking either by the women or the customers. For the price & location, it works out well.

I’m with the other positive reviewers. Its a legit and nice little operation. The massages I have had are hot or miss, but they try to ask and follow what you are looking for in the massage. For $ 35 you can’t go wrong. And no, its not a ‘happy ending’ type place.

HAHA, I am literally cracking up as I write this review. The previous 2 reviews are complete opposites. Perhaps, this review will balance the beam a bit. As shady and untrustworthy as this place may seem, I do recommend it, if you simply want a cheap, foot/back massage. Really, don’t have expectations. Some thoughts about this place: 1. It aint no massage parlor/spa! Nor is it in BevHills. 2. You feel like you’re getting a massage in China.(I’ve been, so I know) 3. It’s not called«Oriental Massage.» The place has a sign for Afrodta Flowers 4. $ 25 for foot massage. Also covers your back, legs, thighs, butt, etc. Not bad! 5. They charge you $ 1 for card 6. The workers seem to be illegal immigrants… Sad

The name of this place itself is problematic. I went to this place because I was nearby and wanted to try it out. They have a sign for $ 25 massages – that’s just for a foot massage. The whole body massage is $ 35. They put me in a dark room in the back down the hallway. They just put me in the room, didn’t greet me or talk to me or anything. It sounded like the girl was chewing gum during the massage(if she was, I don’t really know) and even started talking to someone outside of the room during it. I couldn’t really enjoy the massage. The massage itself was average. I might have enjoyed it more had I not been so distracted by everything else that was going on. I paid for the massage and tipped the girl(which I don’t think she deserved) I left feeling frustrated and dissatisfied. i’m all about supporting local businesses and saving money, but I was so disappointed with the service. It was definitely not worth the $ 40($ 35+$ 5 tip). I could have spent my $ 40 and my hour on something more worthwhile.

This place is a great deal! Admittedly, it looks a little shady from the outside b/c all of the windows are blacked out. When you walk in, it’s very simple in its amenities and décor, but it is a bargain, so what do you expect? If you love massages, but don’t care about the fancy robe, sauna and steam room that go along with the $ 125+ price tag at the nicer spas, then this is your place. The guy who manages the place can speak English well enough to communicate w/customers. Can’t say the same about the all of the masseurs, though. It’s $ 25/hour for a foot/head massage and $ 35/hour for a full body massage. I have no idea what the difference is, though, because I paid $ 25 and got what I would interpret as a full body massage, though the order in which she went was different than at your typical spa. Anyways, my boyfriend and I were put together in a semi-private room in the front of the place, so I can’t comment on what the rooms in the back look like. Because our area was semi-private(divided by curtains and wooden blinds), we kept our clothes on. I’ve been to other places like this in OC, so I came prepared in comfy, loose fitting clothes. I was definitely nervous at first, but the place was clean and women gave really good massages. It was well worth the $ 25. Please be nice and generous w/tipping given how cheap the price is and how hard the women work for the money. Other good info to know… 1. I’m not 100% sure, but I think all of the masseurs are women. 2. It’s open 7 days a week until 10pm at night. 3. They take walk-ins, but I would suggest calling on the weekends. They don’t really have a scheduling/appointment system, so it’s good to check availability before you show up. It seemed pretty popular on Sunday afternoon when I went.
