I don't normally feel the need to do this, but I was thoroughly disappointed with my massage. I went a few months ago and had an amazing experience with 'Jenny', so I felt confident buying a second Groupon. It was $60 for an hour oil rub down, and while I can appreciate the effort, I believe we all seek a massage that releases us from our present state of being. I'm a runner, and massages are so essential to my wellness in that regard. Afterward, with every ache in my body, I still intended to tip, which she charged to my card with an additional $3 service fee which I noticed just as it processed. I can't say that I will come back, I think this establishment lacks adequate management but my experience last time supported the benefit of my doubts. I hope they can improve. read more

Great strong massage. It's open late took they also take walk in which is good. I highly recommend this place.

Had a great experience! The staff was friendly and professional, and the massage was very relaxing. The place was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I left feeling refreshed and will definitely be back. Highly recommend! read more

Well lesson learned to rely on Groupon for a place for a massage at a good deal. By far the worst massage I'd ever gotten. I got a 90 min and it might as feel like 5 mins as I felt nothing after. No feeling like my knots got worked on or any tighteneness was released. It seems there was no education on how to give a full body massage. When I tried to give a tip worthy of the massage she balked at it and demanded more money. I honestly just gave more to get out knowing I'd never return and have my review to try and warn people not to go. read more

Worst massage I have ever experienced, got my mom and I some massages for Mothers Day and the experience was absolutely terrible. First off, the inconsistency in the massage the whole time was the part that really upset me, the masseuses would be talking and laughing while me and my mom were getting them, and I got the worst "temple" massage I think I have ever gotten. She was rubbing the sides of my forehead so hard it basically gave me a headache afterwards. I would even go as far to say that the women working there today really milked that hour that I paid for the service. One of the girls stopped in the middle of the service to go help a customer... in the middle of the massage. So unprofessional and I still tipped cash. Regretting my decision right now. Worst massage ever read more

I just floated home after a 60 minute foot massage with Lucy. First visit at Golden Ocean - and I'm going back tomorrow for full body... with Lucy! She is so sweet and gentle... but still hitting my spots... just what I needed. Liked having private room. Only thing not so good, Lucy and other gal in next room talking to each other... not much, so it wasn't annoying.... All good! Thank you, Lucy! See you tomorrow! read more

This was definitely the WORST massage of my life and I've had plenty all around the world. I didn't even let her finish bc of how horrible it was and I should of known bc they charged me before the massage and I've realized places that do that is because they are horrible at what they do. I don't even consider that a massage idk wth that was smh HORRIBLE read more

My partner and I booked a couples massage and as everything went well with him. My masseuse walked out to do other things in the middle of my massage. She would go get the front door, leave for a few minutes multiple times. I understand that yes things may be busy. However, I didn't even have these minutes made back up at the end of my massage. My partners masseuse didn't leave at any point during the 90 minutes, yet we were done at the same time. It was just upsetting, I paid for the full experience. It was very clean, and very calming. I would recommend other than the interruptions. read more

I did massage here me and my boyfriend both of us felt the same way the massage was whatever When I saw the reviews I thought it's good place but turns out ok I found it on Groupon so I usually get a Groupon see if it's good. I come back if it's not I don't. read more

I came here and they just gave the best massage and it was just amazing I 100% recommend this place

Do not get a deep tissue Swedish massage if you are worried of pain. My upper back hurts very badly. It was an extremely uncomfortable massage and I frequently wanted to scream of pain. My buttcheeks were practically completely out, barely covered by the towel. And not to mention, the hot stones were only used for 1 minute. If I purchase a hot stone massage I would expect much more time. It was the only moment in the massage that I wasn't in pain. Despite this, the space was very clean and the people were nice. read more

Great Groupon pricing. Friendly service. Easy to make appointments. Good massage. I kept falling asleep it was so good.

I tried to call about a couples massage and was hung up on after asking a question that got lost in translation. No real communication, warmth, or helpfulness. Was looking to give them business but not worth the rude service read more

We got a 60 minutes couple massage from Groupon and had Mia and Lili! They were amazing!!! It was a fantastic massage and they really worked on trying to get rid of all of my knots :) I will definitely be back again! read more

Best couples massage. So relaxing and calming. I love coming here to relax! Great pricing options as well! Hours are convenient!

I was not expecting to be writing this review. I purchased a Groupon for a 60-minute couples massage with hot stones and made an appointment with the owner for today at 5 pm. We arrived a few minutes early, were immediately greeted (the masseuses spoke very little English), asked for some water, and were brought to our "room," which was more of a space separated by curtains. The walls are paper thin, and we could hear music from the establishment next door, as well as all of the construction they were doing. From the get-go, I felt a bit uncomfortable, as I could understand the masseuses' Mandarin and could tell that there was a power dynamic between them. Immediately, my masseuse (I think her name was Jenny, but the owner told me I had been booked with Mia) was telling Tracy (my partner's masseuse) how to give the massage. Around 10 times, she made comments like, "Why are you using more than one towel to wipe her? No wonder we are running low on towels! You don't need to wipe all the oil off. They are going to shower after this anyways." Our masseuses also stepped out maybe three times to retrieve more materials. When it came time for our hot stone treatment, I was disappointed because it only lasted one minute (I'm not exaggerating). Also, during our massage, another client came in, and Jenny/Mia left for a few minutes to greet them. When she came back, she told Tracy that they needed to cut our session a few minutes short (they had started at 5:05 pm) in order to be done in time for the next one. She also told Tracy to stop applying more massage oil because it would take longer to clean up, and to use something that could sit on the skin/evaporate instead. I felt awful for Tracy, who seemed to try to advocate for us to receive the full and a high-quality massage. Jenny/Mia ended up wrapping up my massage first despite already having stepped out to speak with the next client earlier, and Tracy appeared to feel rushed to finish with my partner soon after. Tracy then asked if she could get my partner water, though she declined. I did go get myself some water after, and Jenny/Mia commented to Tracy, "So you're just going to make the customers get their own water?" Tracy appeared on the verge of tears, telling us that we did not need to tip her because she was still in training. We ended up tipping 20% on the total for both of us on my card (there is a $3 charge for each transaction), though it was difficult to communicate that we wanted the tip to be split between the two of them. I hope that Tracy still received her half of the tip, but I am not certain, as she had gone to the back of the business by the time we were able to be checked out. In terms of the quality of the massage, I feel sad to say that my partner and I both had really unpleasant experiences. My massage felt aggressive and rushed, and it was more uncomfortable than satisfying. I appreciate a massage that hurts in a good way, but this one hurt in a truly bad way. Unfortunately, it sounds like my partner had an even more disappointing experience, describing it as the worst massage she has ever gotten, and one she would decline even if free. She described her masseuse pressing really hard on her bones to the point where she would frequently shift her position to avoid this. Her underwear were also completely rolled down below her butt cheeks without a towel being placed over areas that were not being worked on, and she had to move her towel herself a few times. Otherwise, she felt like she did not really get a massage, as the pressure was too light, and essentially just had oil rubbed all over her. I hope this review does not ruin anyone's livelihood, but rather, that this can be taken as constructive feedback for the future. I am not sure why our experience was so terrible, given this establishment's otherwise great reviews. Perhaps they assign trainees to Groupon bookings? Regardless, we did not feel it was worth it and left in worse condition than we arrived. read more

Golden Ocean Spa - Curtains separate the rooms - Massage Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

One of the best massages I've had in a while. The place is okay, separated by curtains, not very convenient, I would've preferred a private room, however the service was impeccable. I had a groupon for a 60 minute body, 30 minute foot massage. It was great bang for my buck! Will be coming back. read more

Perfect in every way. So happy to have found this spa massage. Highly recommend! Quiet warm, lovely atmosphere and therapist. read more

We found Thai Lotus Healing Spa...through Yelp, actually and the reviews were pretty accurate. They are located on Ventura Blvd., on a nondescript block where the only noticeable business was a McDonald's. By the signs, they do have complimentary parking located in the rear of the building, however since we went on a Sunday, we parked right in front of the storefront. Inside, it's cleaner and more serene than most Thai or Asian massage places in the valley. One can be pretty certain that this place is legitimate and clean. The waiting little waiting area is well decorated and refined. In the back, it's a giant room that's separated by curtains, which seems to offer them the flexibility to the space for singles or couples. The massage beds are interesting in that it looks like a torture machine with bars overhead, but those are actually the bars they use for the Thai style massages where they walk on your back. Regarding the massage, I would say they are above average in comparison to other spas and facilities located in the valley. Pressure was good to great to painful, but that's all based on preference. You don't for a minute feel uncomfortable and unlike a lot of places, they are not talking to each other in their native tongue while giving you a massage. That I really appreciated. Overall, for the cost and the services offered, I would recommend Thai Lotus Healing Spa and personally will go back to try other types of massages on offer. read more

Very clean space, the person who gave me a massage was incredible strong for their small stature. Excellent technique and they were very responsive to any tender spots that were causing me pain in the beginning of the session. I felt like a million bucks walking out of this business. Well worth the money! read more

My fiancé and I were desperate for a massage due to tension and knots in our back. We found this place last minute and they were able to fit us in immediately. Both our masseuses were strong! We enjoyed the massages very much. Just be aware that they speak limited English and the rooms are separated by curtains. read more

Great massage place.Mia is very hospitable the massage is amazing!There is free parking at the back. read more

Golden Ocean Spa - Great massage place.Mia is very hospitable the massage is amazing - Massage Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Very nice masur and responsive to very to my needs and requests, very satisfied with the quality of service provided.

I purchased two 90 min massages on Groupon and went to Golden Ocean Spa to redeem it with my friend. It was an amazing experience from the very beginning where I was offered water while checking in. The massage was very relaxing and professional. We really really liked it here and will be going back. I recommend this massage to anyone in the area, and anyone who isn't. read more

Unfortunately, no one showed up for my 10am appointment (while Yelp says it opens later, their door and when i called they say 10am). At 1010, we called and someone said they would be there soon. After another 10 minutes we called Michael reminding him of the appointment. He said he forgot and that someone could be there in 15/30 minutes. I had specifically chosen this 10am time due to other appointments/plans for the day so I could not wait. I am quite bummed to have been let down by something I was so looking forward to. read more

Made appointment 2 days in advance for 2 people with michael Showed up for appointment and NO ONE there. Called and spoke to Michael First phone call he said they would be there in 10 minutes Second call after waiting ten minutes, he said they would be there in 25 minutes Coming from San Gabriel VERY DISAPPOINTING read more

I had Wendy and she was AMAZING! Incredible bodywork, knows what she is doing and needs to do for the body. Highly recommend this place.

I went here tonight for a last minute massage & it was pretty great! She didn't speak English but she was very attentive to changes or adjustments while giving the massage. Easy parking and very friendly place. She worked out a lot of my knots from lifting in way that wasn't painful and very relaxing. I'm super sleepy as I right this so that definitely tells you I am feeling GOOD after my hour massage. Didn't catch her name but I'd go here again :) You should too! read more

Made a same day appointment here after an exhausting day and when I arrived everything was closed and pitch black. I called to make sure it was the correct location and was told that a masseuse would arrive 10 minutes after my appointment to open the place. Very sketchy place. The text messages I received from a strange number that instructed me to wait made me feel Very uncomfortable! Extremely unprofessional business. read more

Good price. I got a nice massage here. You don't get a private room, the areas are just separated by curtains so it's not super fancy feeling. Nobody can see you getting a massage though. Clean and professional. read more

Great Thai massage combo. I came as a walk in 6pm to release neck back tension. Was seen immediately young lady masseuse targeted the right areas always asked if it's too rough or not. Ambiance was perfect quiet getaway. Ignore reviews from whiny entitled people on here. It's a massage place it's supposed to be dim(calming), it's not sketchy. Go to Burke Williams if you want a US trained masseuse to talk to. I highly recommend this nice gem to relax prices very affordable will be back next week....Mali read more

They are open again, I haven't been here since before covid but I booked an appointment..after I go I'll update my review. I couldn't find any new reviews letting you know this place is open so I just wanted to write this for now :) also..not sure if benji is still with them :( ***UPDATE: Thai lotus is open!! And it's even better than I remember it. Of course you already know I scheduled with Benji she is my absolute FAV!! I have a lot of neck pain due to an old car accident injury and benji has been the only masseuse that can help me through this pain and get my spasms to stop. They also have VERY good and safe Covid rules in place, I also like how they lock the doors and open them when they are expecting you for an appointment..makes me feel very safe! Best massage place in the valley!! read more

This was the Thai Lotus massage place but the excellent staff and ownership has changed...along with the quality, service and it is very disappointing. The massage was okay, at best. Some of the issues included: Massage therapist unable to speak English: therefore was not able to communicate effectively (kept using his phone to translate) Couldn't ask me where I wanted focus, and hurt me multiple times, and nervously laughed when I cried out in pain. Weird massage: not Thai, and not much of anything. Excessive oil, rough towel, didn't focus on anything I actually needed or wanted. Couldn't tell me how to pay, then pointed to Zelle in a book, with details hard to read. Then demanded a tip. (I'm all for tipping when it's worth it, but I couldn't explain why I didn't want to tip, or feel it was deserved.) Would not recommend or go back again. read more

Benji is my favorite! She's really good and so nice Her massages helped with my body aches Been seeing her for years read more

the price was right and the massage was incredible! Highly recommend! Next time you need a good massage, go check them out!

I was on my way to LA to get an acupuncture for my left hip pain, but I decided to get off the fwy because the drive seemed especially long today. I searched for the nearest Thai massage, and I ended up here. I asked for the first combo, but it started off too soft for me, so in the middle of it, I asked for more pressure. I'm really glaD I asked, because from then on, I was like~that's exactly what I needed!! There were some positions of massage that I never had elsewhere, which really worked for my side hip area. I felt more balanced and my body felt like one piece again lol! Hopefully, I can call for the same skillful hands next time. I liked the bed set-up as well. The sheets and face pillow had clean scent, and cleanliness is extremely important. I'll definitely visit again. Thank you! read more

I have to start by saying that this is my fav massage place on Ventura. I've been here several times and always enjoy it which is why today at around 4:30-5 I went in to get a massage. I was a walk in which I always do and they usually take me. So today I walk over and the door is locked. I immediately check their hours of operation and notice that they're open until 8pm so I knock. That's when I notice someone SLEEPING at the register (pictured). Well. I though I would call and try to wake her up but it didn't work. I went around back and tried that door but nope. She locked that too. Guess she decided it was nap time so she locked all the doors. I understand that people get tired but at least go take a nap inside on one of the beds so a customer doesn't come and see you laying there snoozing lol I'll probably still come back but will def call beforehand read more

Great service, great massage!! Highly recommend! Before coming here I went to The Now in studio city and was not happy with the masseuse at all. I'm so glad I found Golden Ocean Spa!! read more

I was looking to get a massage this week, this was my first time at Thai Lotus Healing Spa. I am glad I decided to come here because the massage was amazing and at a great price. I got the combination Thai and swedish massage. The ambiance is great which helps makes the experience fantastic. The place was pretty clean. My masseuse was amazing, she was communicative and really worked to get my knots out. I wish I had asked for her name so I can request her next time.I feel so refreshed after my session. I am definitely a fan and plan on coming back. Street parking was ample. read more

I have been to countless massage therapists and can definitively say that Vicky is the best! She found all the areas of tightness in my body and left me feeling so relaxed afterwards. I get the combo massage and it's also been the best price for the quality so I tip her more because I know how hard she works. On top of that, she was so thoughtful and gave me thai sauce and noodles to cook at home the second time I saw her since I had told her I wanted to find some. read more
