I really like Babaylan because there are few places in the metro that offer traditional hilot (a Filipino style of massage), aside from the usual Swedish or Thai massages. However, one huge drawback of this place is that you can almost never walk in here without a reservation, especially on the weekends. I find this especially inconvenient, because prior to Yelp, it is virtually impossible to find Babaylan's phone number on the Internet. I was only able to get their phone number via a flyer and being turned down for a massage (well, they DID have a masseur available, but I'm not comfortable with that idea).
Point is you'll have a better Babaylan experience if you reserve in advance. read more
