Touch Massage Bar, located near the intersection of King and Spadina, offers a variety of massages…read moreservices including a seated experience (fully clothed), traditional massages lying down (including lymphatic drainage), as well as prenatal massages. The Tulum inspired interior transports you to another world as you escape the business of King Street West. The shades of white and beige bring about a sense of calm. They also offer beverages like coffee and tea for purchase. I booked an appointment at Touch Massage Bar recently for a 25 min seated experience after work. Upon entering the space, you are required to take off your shoes. There are shoe racks available to place your shoes. After checking in for my appointment (was early), I sat down in the waiting room to make myself comfortable. My massage therapist came to get me at the scheduled appointment time and she took me to a shared room with multiple chairs (I believe it was called their Tulum room). Luckily, I was the only person who would be in that room during my massage experience. My massage therapist, Amanda, was friendly and personable. We made small talk as she first massaged my hands and forearms. She made her way to my shoulders, back and scalp. A very relaxing experience! Overall, great space to unwind and relax. Would return for a full body massage next time!

You can't miss the tacky neon sign out front giving a good indication if they are open or not. I was welcomed in heartily by a woman named Wiwi. She was very enthusiastic about my options for a massage here, and immediately tried up-selling me with the most expensive option, the 4-Hand Massage. She said "two girls are better than one" and who can argue with that, so I decided to give it a try. Looking at the prices, turns out there isn't any volume advantage with four hands vs. two, so unless you want to spend twice as much, this really doesn't make a lot of sense. Since the cost was so high, I opted for 30 min instead of 60 min. Since that's not a lot of time, and it takes time for me to relax, it didn't seem like much of a value. They can cover you quicker, but since you would get the same coverage in an hour, this would only be an advantage if you were in a hurry. So it could have its place. If you think you've tried everything these spas have to offer give it a shot. And consider checking out other options that look intriguing here, like the sea-salt massage, no idea what that is. According to their business card, they also have sauna and shower services which could round out your visit.

We both wanted Thai massage, but they didn't have two Thai massage therapist at the time we requested. My boyfriend got the Thai massage. He said it was okay, not the best I had the Swedish, which I found uncomfortable. The therapist had long nails and kept on sliding his nails up and down my back actually making me feel tighter in the back as it was a bit uncomfortable. He also was very fast in his technique, with didn't loosen any of my tight muscles. He did try want to work together and do what I liked... but unfortunately when the technique isn't there, it's hard to explain what you want. And the worse part of the massage was that he used a scented oil on me that overwhelmed my scenes. I left there uptight and congested. I don't I would try this place again.

My therapist Ying was phenomenal to say the least...she lived up to her bio on the spa's website and more! Both treatments were an hour @ $125.00/each and worth every penny!

I was actually surprised because it was dirt cheap ($50 for a 90 minute foot and back combo) yet better than most massages I've had at more upscale professional salons. They don't speak English very well, and the place is opposite from fancy, but they tried their best to give good service and it was clean. The guy who did the massage did an amazing job and i could tell he was a professional masseuse (certified perhaps in Asia). I told them I like it very strong and it was one of the few times that I actually had to ask him to be a little more gentle. He really put in a lot of effort in my massage and made sure I was comfortable. They have a variety of massage combos for cheap (ex. facial + massage, foot + body, foot + back, etc). As well contrary to a previous review they did not ask for a tip and when I did tip them they were very gracious. If you want a no-frills dirt cheap yet high quality massage then look no further. I will definitely come back!

They have the same rates but what I don't like is that at the end of massage and paying for service, they ask for a tip. Tips is up to the discretion of client and is not mandatory. If one wants to gain my repeat business, this behavior is unnecessary. I have travelled to Asia and not one has asked for gratuity and I am sure if they tried, they would get fired. I will never go back to places like that so save your $ and go else where.

This is the next shiatsu massage place working my way east on Dundas from Spadina in my search for…read morethe best value for my massage dollar. I'm not sure why, but every time I go to try out a new place for shiatsu massage in Chinatown, the experience gets better and better, and XiangXiang is no exception. It's easy to spot with some bright yellow signage, and the requisite tent card sign on the sidewalk out front. The front door is just down a few steps where the waiting area is right there in plain view. There's a hair salon above it. I walked in and was immediately greeted and offered some slippers from the shelf to prevent dragging in slop from the sidewalk out front into the massage rooms in the back. The charges for services are clearly posted and Lucy asked how many minutes I wanted. Now I know to choose the 60 as it is clearly the best value for the dollar. Interestingly, this is the first place where they had a credit machine, although I paid cash since I'm down with that. As soon as the massage started, I knew this woman had plenty of experience. This was the first one who asked, before starting, if I wanted light, medium, or heavy pressure, in good English. I said heavy and I'll let you know if it's too much. It wasn't and the experience was much more effective for me compared to others. She even asked if I wanted heavier pressure than "heavy" but I was good with her choice. This worked amazingly well for me. The heavy pressure on my thighs worked wonders and seems to have lasted til now, which is awesome if that is what made the difference, but I can't explain the improvement with any other reason. There was no head massage, no nonsense, and instead a concentrated body massage that was the best ever for me. This lady is absolutely amazing with what she can do and I highly recommend her!

At first I felt a little uncomfortable because the location was in an alleyway and the entrance to the treatment room, which was so quiet I can hear the ventilation, looked like a room in a home.

After he had collected all of his information he left the room and spa music came on and when he returned he dimmed the light and it felt perfect atmosphere. The massage table was very cool too. It had an arm rest and did not creak. During the treatment Hideki kept asking me where my tender spots were and solely focused and cared about fixing it.
