My husband and I called about 20 minutes before arriving for a couples massage. When we got there,…read morethe initial impression was very strange; the attendant behind the security door seemed completely surprised by our arrival, giving the feeling that we had shown up at a bad time. The logistical issues continued from there. Despite clearly having a couples room available, we were placed in separate rooms without any explanation or instruction on what to do. The level of professionalism was poor, as we were simply left alone after the masseuses closed the door. During the massage itself, the draping provided was entirely inadequate. Instead of a proper sheet, I was only given a small towel, which left large parts of my body exposed and made me feel very uncomfortable and unable to fully relax. Additionally, my masseuse was overly talkative, constantly asking questions, which was the opposite of the relaxing experience I was seeking. The only positive highlight was the technical skill of the masseuse. The pressure she applied was absolutely perfect--firm and effective, without the excessive pain I have experienced at other Asian massage parlors. While I appreciated the great pressure, the poor customer service, awkward arrival, and insufficient draping overshadowed the quality of the massage. On top of that , they have a window in between the rooms where you can peek through the blinds to the other room where clients are getting a massage. This made me feel uneasy and uncomfortable. They should have a board blocking the view !Due to these significant issues, I don't plan on returning. It's disappointing because this place was so close to home.

The worst. They saw I was 7 months pregnant and still charged me right away. Then after they…read morecharged me and begged me for a tip BEFORE I got massaged they refused to give me a message because I was pregnant as if they didn't notice my 7 month belly!! They acted like they didn't know how to give me a refund and all came out and made a big deal like it was my fault they charged me and didn't give me a massage! They had to watch a YouTube tutorial to figure out who to get my money back.. They all were wearing black see through clothing just soo SKETCHY! if I could leave 0 stars I would. So Upset... AND WHO BEGS FOR A TIP BEFORE THE MASSAGE !!

On Sunday (9/22), hubby & I decided to treat ourselves to a message; after searching Yelp, we…read moredecided on Angel Spa Massage (ASM). I left a message on their website, and did hear back from someone in the 2 day period. I booked a day & time, then needed to change it. They graciously accommodated me. Because it is our first time here, arrived little early as we did not know what to expect; it is located in a little strip mall in the Southbay -- blink and you miss it, but the big sign on the storefront is very helpful. Make sure you read the sign as to which door to enter in. Once we entered, the reception/waiting area is very small with interesting knickknacks to look at, and has a price list. Dear Reviewers, please be advised you must pay first, and receive a small discount if you pay with cash. We decided to go with the 60 minute hot oil and aromatherapy massage with hot stones thrown in -- because I did my first check in with this area, we were given a small discount which I gladly accepted. The room Hubby and I had was dim, and a nice size. We were provided with sealed bottles of water as we waited for our masseuses. The music is relaxing, it didn't smell moldy, dirty or used. The sheet provided to cover yourselves, and that you're massaged through, was a bit small, but we made it work. Hubby said his masseuse had strong fingers, and he was very satisfied with the services received. He especially liked the hot rocks. My masseuse (Summer) was great, and she adjusted the pressure as needed -- I'm a big baby and don't like painful massages. Overall, we would gladly return; fair prices, honest staff and great service. A hidden gem for sure!

This will be the longest review i have done and if you read on you will know why…read more HISTORY I have been a loyal customer to this spa for the past 13+ years. I was their 2nd customer way back when they first opened in Chula vista. I even became friends with the owner and would often let her know about problems. Once her daughter took over everything has slowly gone to crap. She and her mother run 7-9 spas from home. That is what I was doing last week when the cops came. I explained I was texting the owner about my appt I made and why when I got here the girls just look at me because they don't understand a word you say. Well it turns out the daughter had me trespassed because I was sitting in front texting the owner. I was angry because this happens all the time they both run these spas from home. Keep reading and you will know too. This place 13 years ago started out as a nice massage spa and over the years having the same owner who now has many spas has deteroited into one of the bad spas that you go to for illegal activity. If the owners or a Mgr was present then this kind of activity would be minimized. This is probably the most legal spa this owner operates. someone there as a Mgr they could stop this kind of activity. These owners do not treat the girls well at all. Many sleep here as well and the owner charges them rent, staff get paid 20 yuan which is nothing. This business does nothing for our community it's a cash business. STAFF currently they have 4 girls who most have worked there for years. None of which are certified. Not being certified the business is required to have a certified thera p ist on duty they don't. These girls are friendly but if you want a true massage this is not the place to go to. Past staff did have certification but they are gone and the place is left with girls who can give a back rub and that's about it. Along with the illegal things. Also 1 girl is currently wearing an ankle bracelet so I'm guessing she is in some kind of trouble if she has to wear a ankle monitor. I mention these things because they are listed in the municipal code for massage businesses. TIPS A $20 TIP is more than enough. If they had any massage skills it could be higher. And guys and ladies don't give them a tip until you are ready to leave. If you pay for 1 hr make sure you get 1 hr they often try to get you to change it from 60min to 30min and tell the boss it was only 30min and they pocket the rest. Again having a responsible Mgr there this can be avoided. The certificate that they bring is not approved by the C.M.T.C.. PRO'S and CON'S PRO'S prices noted hours of operation shown clean rooms friendly staff CON'S You cannot talk to any of these women because they don't understand. The girl who wears the Ankle monitor is the only one who speaks a few words in English but not enough to actually be able to help. *linens are not changed after each customer (only the top sheet is changed) *customers in spa after midnight *therapists not certified * no name tags * no certified Mgr that is present Let's not forget about the black mold that is growing in the shower area. This itself is a health and safety violation which could make customers sick since it is transmitted through the air. Funny thing I was the one who notified the owner of this problem I even went so far that I offered to fix this problem if they would by the materials. I never got a response other than they are looking at it. Its been 2 months and it's still growing in the shower area. At some point the city of Chula vista is going to have to Crack down on these places. They pop up everywhere just like liquor stores. The city needs to regulate these places and get a handle on them before it really gets out of hand. Please note the items listed below with an * are items where they are municipal code violations that the city needs to start enforcing. CONCLUSION They have lost probably their longest spa customer 13 yrs. You can get an avg massage here now nothing like the massage that you use to get when they actually had certified therapists. While both the mom and daughter have certificates shown I'm not convinced that they are real and not faked. So if you want an avg back rub or other activity that is not legal then you might like this place. Over the next few months my mission is going to provide real reviews of all the spas that these 2 operate. So far the ones I have visited are worse than this spa and the women working there are let's say not the best candidates to do massage. Stay tuned there are more to follow. As well as there are so many other spas that want your business and will do their best to make you a return customer.

Lao-Thai massage, seems to be a brand new massage clinic, as they don't have an actual sign when I…read morewent. I got a massage here cause I was following one of my favorite Thai massage therapists, Ray. He is awesome, and if you want a deep tissue massage he is awesome. He does thai massage, where he steps on you and also afterwards you get stretched like a pretzel. I always feel amazing afterwards, so relaxed and so ready to start my week back to work. I'm refreshed and always in a better mood than before my massage. And I can start work eager and with much less pain. If i just rate him he is definitely worth 5 stars. As for the actual shop, it is tucked away near the corner of Imperial and 47th street, in what is not the nicest neighborhood in San Diego, but this is where Ray is working so i'm following him. Once you get inside the shop, it is clean, but not well lit. The room is dark and cold, and there is a unfinished look and feel to the place, so minus 1 star. As for the table, it is comfortable enough, but a bit on the firm side. I love deep tissue so it's fine with me. But others that don't may not like it this firm. The store shares the space with a jewelry store and right next door is a grocery store and also a restaurant as well. Parking spaces are limited and narrow, even for my little car. The spaces don't have a lot of backing out space and so you will be right out on the street fairly quickly. So be careful when backing out.
