Good experience overall! My wife called to book an appointment, luckily they had an open spot for just a few hours later. Very friendly staff, and very helpful. Linda was the lady that did the massage. Very kind, my wife chose the deep tissue massage option. She was very pleased and relaxed during and after the massage. Clean office, nice and relaxed environment, decent prices. Plenty of parking outside. read more

Such a hidden gem! Sunny did my massage. She focused on each knot and I didn't even have to tell her where my body was holding tension. I was a 30 minute walk in. I'll be back! Amazing experience and relaxing environment. read more

They named this place correctly because it is seriously the Best Massage!!! I had severe pain in my shoulder blade and I thought I had injured myself because it was so painful for over 3 weeks. I decided to come into Best Massage and the masseuse said it was a large knot that was causing the pain. She used a lot of pressure (a bit painful in the moment) But she was right, the pressure really helped and within a few hours I was able to get full rotation in my neck and could relax my shoulder- first time in forever! It really helped a lot and I slept well that night! Yay! Definitely coming back!! :) read more

Great place. Great messages. The ladies are very professional. Very clean establishment.

Probably the worst experience ever. When I called, the girl's English was so bad. I asked if there were any openings and she asked what I wanted. I said a massage and she said what time. I said anytime tonight and she said oh no 9 is too late so I said um, ok I can come earlier than 9, what do you have open. So she said 8 and I said yes, then I asked can I request a female masseuse and she said oh no we don't have any men here so can you come still? I said yes, I want a female and she repeated so I said I would like a lady yes its fine and it was settled. Then I get there and the front desk gal tells me to wait and points to a half visible couch behind a privacy screen so I sit there awkwardly before being summoned to the back. I lay down and literally wait for 10 minutes, watched the clock. Then a lady comes in and says hi, very friendly and just starts working. Asks me nothing about pressure or preferences. Then after a minute she leaves to talk to someone. Comes back and leaves the door open while massaging me and talks to her colleagues standing in the hallway about how tired they are and other chit chat. Then leaves again and says she needs to collect money from someone. Eventually whatever is happening out there gets settled so she comes back and actually does close the door and gets to work but she uses her elbows the whole time and I tell her it's too hard so she lightens up but still is just dragging her elbows on me. She also doesn't remember what she's doing so she does random things on the other half of my body and also doesn't know timing so its like 3 minutes on one side and 10 minutes on the other side. Towards the end, she sneezes on the cloth between my legs. I suppose its better than on my naked body. She also starts stretching me and I say no cuz I have a shoulder strain but she doesn't understand me so she keeps going and I basically pull back to avoid her ripping my shoulder off and she just laughs and says oh you too tight. I will never go back here. Ever. read more

I had the best massage of my life with Lauren. She doesn't do the normal massage where it's rushed. She took time on each knot. She really cares about her patients and it was truly the BEST MASSAGE I HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Literally, the best massage. Drop what you're doing and come here now! Or don't... more availability for me :D The people here are so good at finding your sore spots and helping to release them. Seriously incredible. I don't think I'll ever go anywhere else in OC for a massage. Not the cheapest but not the priciest, always 1000% worth it! read more

This is probably the best massage place I ever been so far. I have some serious pain issues and always get relief here. All masseuse are great here, walk-ins are welcomes and often just calling them 20-30 min in advance is enough to get you in. read more

Love coming here! Easy, convenient and affordable. Also Monica gives the BEST massages read more

Recent visit to "Best Massage" was this past week. I wanted to confirm that the quality and professionals working at "Best Massage" was again not been disappointing. The therapist have their state licensed and are experienced professionals which have the training and skills to relief any shoulder, lower back or foot pain. Also, the therapist are very knowledgeable and experienced. After working all day walking around the manufacturing facility, my feet have a lot of pain. The doctor said it was from running at different local 5K and 10K city sponsored events. The therapists at Best Massage business have helped. So, I strongly recommend the therapist at this business location in Lake Forest. Thank you, Best Massage. read more

Excellent care provided by the therapists, very professional, spotlessly clean rooms, reasonable prices, friendly personnel, easy parking, I know why they are named "Best Massage". read more

They are very strong and all the girls are good but Monica is my favorite. I highly recommend anyone who wants a legit massage.

I have tried a lot of massage places. This one really is great. Started right on time, went the full hour with no disappearing like some places, massage by Daisy was AMAZING. Best I've ever had for sure. Will be my new regular spot read more

Visited this place for the first time after being recommended by my co-worker. This place is under new ownership as described by other reviewers. Everything is new from the sheets, towels to the bathroom sink. The place smell clean as it's a turn off for me if that's not the case. After a full 1 hour of massage, I'm all relax. My masseuse was Monica and she did a fantastic job in releasing my shoulder tension. Excellent experience!! Will definitely go back again, In fact I've already booked another appointment for next month!! Looking forward to it already. read more

This was my first time here. I had a great affordable massage and stretch. I highly recommend this place. The hours are great too.

AMAZING MASSAGE!!! I have never had a bad massage here and I am picky!! Always available, always great, excellent service. Def book here.

there's one masseuse here that provides good deep tissue massages, but she's only there a few times a week. the rest of them are meh. one masseuse kept burping during my massage and another one kept sighing..? the owner also hassled my partner to tip more while she was massaging him, which is a super weird time to bring that up & also he tipped 30% already so what was she expecting..? walls are super thin so i heard that whole exchange from the room i was in, which was 2 rooms down. oh and she also makes you pay & tip before the massage. beds are uncomfortable and creak a lot. read more

It is by far the best massage in this area, as the name says! Today was my first time there and it was excellent. Lauren did a great job! Thanks! read more

I have been going to this business for about a year now and figured it was time to leave a review. I have had multiple therapists and all of them have been professional and very good at what they do. You will never be disappointed with any of the therapists. If I were to pick a favorite it would have to be Monica. She is very strong and gives the best deep tissue massage that I have ever had. The prices are very reasonable and the rooms are clean. I would suggest having a therapist walk on your back. I visit Best Massage about every 7 days or so in order to relieve stress and tension. I highly suggest giving them a shot to see what they can do for you. read more

Their massage service are amazing and affordable! The pressure was slow and firm just the way I like it.The SPA is very relaxing! I will be back! read more

After a day of work, I had an hour massage here. My whole body was relaxed. It was great. I will come again next time.

Great staff! Making an appointment was very easy. I felt so bad making a 1 hour appointment at 8:30pm but Emmy took her time with me and never rushed the process. My new go to spot in Lake Forest! read more

Massage was good (except the pulling on my hair) but telling me that I need to tip 33% for a massage because it was 1.5 hours is very rude.

I've been having a lot of shoulder pain and decided to trust Yelp reviews about this place. I called for a noon appointment, but the lady on the phone asked if I could come an hour before or after. I was disappointed, but told her I couldn't and that I'll try again on another day. I really wish the conversation ended there... Instead, the lady offered to move noon client's appointment to a later time. She never asked me to wait for her to confirm, so I assumed the client was someone she knew well and was flexible with time. I was so thankful and excited! When I showed up, however, receptionist told me no one was available! She went to the back to talk to someone, then came back to tell me her manager made a mistake and wanted me to come back in an hour!!! I was so disappointed! I'm not sure how great your massages are, but please don't make empty promises you can't deliver. read more

I came in on a Saturday night at 7 for a massage( it was a stressful day) and the place was empty. It was Saturday so I was hoping it would be! I saw they closed at 8:30, and I didn't have an appointment so I was hoping they'd take me. Helen greeted me and she took me right away! She introduced herself and asked my pressure on the massage, checking in throughout to make sure it was still ok. She was great! I was so relaxed and all my stress kinks were disappearing. She did the full hour for $50. They prefer cash FYI. Only thing I didn't like is there was no music during the massage. But everything else was amazing:) thanks Helen! read more

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! I spent $50 for an hour long full body massage & the masseuse was the worst! Normally I don't care if you can't speak English (my own mother doesn't speak English so it doesn't bother me) but thats not an excuse to act unprofessional. This lady had her cell phone right next to my belongings & it kept ringing & vibrating the ENTIRE time, she even answered it at one point during my massage then she insisted that I tip her. I was baffled! Not to mention the place looks super run down and the towels smelled funny. Don't recommend this place at all! read more

Fantastic! The best massage I have ever had. I went in yesterday on a break from work. They have a lovely office in a nice center and a cheerful, professional staff.. The woman who worked on me was sweet, warm, and very skilled. I was immediately relaxed. She was able to work out some tightness in my shoulder, and I left feeling like a different man. Much recommended, and I will be back. read more

I will start off first with the negatives.. I am a huge ambience fan and let's just say you aren't going to get the atmosphere of a day spa. Also, my massage was interrupted by a few phone calls, and other interruptions as the owner Helen was giving me my massage. With that being said, this was the best massage I have ever gotten... The best! I really didn't care about all of the interruptions because the massage was amazing. After the massage she told me that my problems were in my lower back, neck and shoulders. Yup! Exactly right.... and everything was fixed. When I went to work out the next day.. I was stretching and trying to stretch the pain spots and I couldn't find them ... they were gone. She even got out the pain spots in my palm! Tell me, how did she even know they were there? I didn't say anything... Craziness I know but the best massage ever. When I am back in the OC i will be visiting Helen again :) read more

Excellent massage, and usually available on short notice. Took care of back, neck, and shoulder issues that even caused migraines. Feeling much better now and (unfortunately) haven't had to go back. Helen is very personable and an excellent masseuse. I've also had massages with other massage therapists there and they are very good as well. I will be back again at the slightest tension in my back. read more

I've been here three times already and I've been pretty happy each time. If you are expecting the Burke Williams/ Day Spa feel you will be very disappointed however if you want your aches and pains gone this is the place! There's only one woman (Owner/GM?) I have come across who speaks English. She massaged me my second time. Due to her being the only one that spoke English my session was interrupted about three times by another masseuse and guest coming in front door (you can hear the bells on the door). I tried cupping on my first session. Not sure if that helped my back but it sure did look like I was brutally beaten. It didn't hurt however I wouldn't do it again. Full body massage plus cupping and tip was $100. Today I went for the third time and it was the best one yet. I believe it was Lucy that took care of me today. I got hot stones and it was awesome. I wasn't even expecting that and it was included in my 60 min massage at the check in offer with Yelp! read more

Monica was great. Very hard to find a good massusse like her. Got appointment fast as well. Clean rooms.

Nancy was amazing! This was my first visit and I can honestly say I'm hooked and will be coming in once a week to treat the tension in my shoulders and back. She was incredibly nice and strong for such a tiny thing. She was even nice enough to let me bring my dog with me of course he is well behaved. read more

4 phone call interruptions in a 1 hour session is way Too Much!!! Actually less than a one hour session because the messuse had left to talk on the phone. Message was OK but I have gone to other message places and Never had that many interruptions. Not going back. read more

Monica is the best! She was able to work out the knots in my back. Afterwards I went home and took a 2 hour nap; I slept like a log.

I went in there the other day after work. My back was sore and hurting real bad. I just wanted a massage to sooth my aching muscles and spine. The massage giver is amazingly skilled and all my unpleasant feeling was gone in 10 minutes. This massage shop is on point and I give 2 thumbs up. read more

After having a stiff neck from stress for over 2 months I was convinced by a neighbor to get my first ever massage at Tao Therapy Center. It's definitely a no frills environment which is exactly what I wanted. The staff was very pleasant, rooms are simple, massages detailed. Cathy worked her magic on my neck and back and I left been able to move my head freely. I returned the next week and this time my entire body was worked over. Cathy again was attentive, thorough, and went to work for the entire 60 minutes. read more

I have been going here for awhile now. I was still recovering from postnatal problems and had injured my knees working out. I had so much problems walking, I heard a coworker say she came here and it helped her and she became a believer in acupuncture. That was good enough for me to come and try. Peter did my acupuncture and in 3 sessions, I was walking fine and felt so much better. I continue to go for other issues and to strengthen my knees. I plan to try a massage here. Prices are pretty decent. The rooms are private and clean. Parking can be an issue around lunch time since the lot is small but it's definitely worth it. read more

Amazing! I came in incredibly stressed out and my back and neck in terrible pain for weeks now. I received a discount from yelp that was $45 for an hour of full body massage, and it was definitely worth it!! They took great care of me, working out so many different knots, tightness and body kinks that I didn't even know were there that when I left I felt completely relaxed and like a new person! I would highly recommend this facility and I will be coming back, possibly to also try their acupuncture as well. read more

This place is great! Came here the first time for a leg injury relief. Hard to beat the price for a great massage. They were even able to work with my insurance. I try to go every couple weeks, and I haven't had any problems calling and heading straight there. I will continue to go here as it helps relieve my sore and fatigued muscle pains. Thank you! read more

Just had our first massage there today. We both really liked it! Everyone is very nice and the place is very comfortable.
