Winnie was amazing!! I have been to many massage therapists throughout the years. As a dancer, I…read moreneed massages regularly in order to care for my body properly. This was by far one of the best massages I have ever received! Winnie explained all about Biomat and how helpful it is. She has strong hands! Perfect for deep tissue massages. However, she checks with you repeatedly to make sure you are comfortable with the type of pressure she is using. There is also a fantastic cream (an add on) she offers that heats up after it is placed all over your back. It penetrates the skin deeply and helps heal any ailments you may be experiencing. I am definitely excited to try the facial next time as well. I will certainly return again soon.

And used Chinese creams that made my pain alleviate and warmed my muscles. I had a stand-up comedy show later that night, in fact, two of them, and both went twice as well... This woman will soothe your back and body to the point that you will become a hilarious standup comic! o Or at least a very relaxed one. I could not recommend it more, as soon as I'm back, I'm going to try out her thermal body pad. She was so sweet, and so accommodating, and even offered to try and figure out another time the next day (on the fly!). If you're getting a massage in Philadelphia... And it's not here... then you might as well play for the Kansas City Chiefs. Because you're an idiot. Go, go, go! T.J. Miller (the original yelp gangster)

You park in the Wing Phat Plaza lot, on Washington and head towards the right side of the building, in the door on the left, up the stairs, and its the first door on the left. In all my years of coming, there's rarely been a wait for service. The spa is clean, quiet, but no frills, this is not a place known for luxury, but certainly for service. Pricing is standard, a dollar a minute, and it's cash only. They have an ATM outside, but it's hit or miss. You can elect for a variety of full body massages or their signature foot massage. The full body massages are in private rooms while the foot massages are in the main room. The massages are great and they check in about pressure and comfort.

But the massage experience was very below par. The masseuse kept rubbing my back with really fast strokes, with not enough oil or moisturizer, and not enough pressure to actually reach any muscles. I first asked her to use a little more pressure, and all that did was make my skin go red and itchy. Then I asked her to go slower but she didn't really do it. Overall it felt like she was rubbing my back raw with a towel and not really massaging my muscles. Good for the ambience, but not worth it for the experience.

The owner of the spa is trained in both Eastern and Western practices and is very knowledgable. I've also taken my mother and husband there who have loved their experiences as well. You can't beat the quality for the price and I never find that I have to book more than a day or two in advance to get an appointment. A hidden gem for sure.

The place was incredibly clean and staff was very friendly and approachable. They speak both English and Mandarin, I told them I had a lot of neck pain and stiffness and they really focused on that area with initial loosening, deep kneading, oil, and hot stones! I was so thankful I found this place, my pain was nearly gone after an hour. $72 (including tip) for full body one hour and they prefer cash but do take card.

Got a life changing massage! I had no idea that asking for a 60 min massage would involve hot stones at the end and just an extremely relaxing time. The hot stones were a wonderful surprise. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there was no music in the background like most massage places have and each time their doorbell would ring the masseuse would step away from my massage to go and talk for a couple minutes which I think cut into my time. Overall a great experience and worth the money!
