Ask for Kenji. Very good! Pressure was perfect. I personally like Thai massages and despite the lack of a particular style on their website I was satisfied with what I received. Of course if you prefer less pressure you can always request less. Definitely going again! Pro tip- street parking is pricey ($3/hr, 2hr max), not sure how much validated structure parking is though. read more

Honolulu Massage and Bodyworks is a solid choice if you're looking for a locally owned and operated business regularly servicing both local and visiting clientele. If you're looking for a regular therapist to improve your overall range of motion, or simply just a drop in to relax, this is a place worth top consideration. In Waikiki, you won't need to walk far to find a licensed massage therapist, so the abundance of choices could be overwhelming. But rest assured that here's a place you should try out whether you're visiting on vacation, or looking for a regular therapist. Inquire about specials so you can get a deal on massages purchased in bulk. The prices are already competitively low, so further discounts will make them perfect for the occasional splurge, or even a gift to recommend a friend. Parking is available on the street at metered stalls (free on Sundays and holidays), or for a partial validation in the Eaton Square lot. There are surrounding businesses that you can drop by for a bite afterward. A First Hawaiian Bank ATM is downstairs in case you prefer to pay with cash and provide tip for your therapist. What's more to ask for? I'm convinced if this shop were located at every corner next to Starbucks, we would make a lot of hard working people happy. read more

Please, no flowers or candy for me: an amazing massage makes THE best gift. As a single-mom with five children and a busy career, my body is always in need of TLC. I've been fortunate to experience a plethora of massage businesses and this has become my "guarantee". I've been a loyal fan of Honolulu Massage and Bodyworks since 2015. I wish I wrote a review years ago, however, the fact of the matter is that I'm always so excited to get to my appointment and leave so relaxed that writing a review is the last thing on my mind. I sometimes feel like I'm floating out the door! At other massage businesses, I have had "hit or miss" experiences with those who have a rotating staff--Honolulu Massage and Bodyworks follows suit. However, what makes this place different is that despite almost never really knowing who will be my massage specialist, I have not had a bad experience over the past 2 1/2 years here. At one point, I was coming in monthly for a problematic area on my right side of my upper body, so you can imagine how many rotating therapists I had the opportunity to experience. Logistically, the customer experience is simple: parking garage with $2 validated parking (super cool!), easy to locate the office as you walk past the beautiful koi ponds, along with a clean reception area and friendly & knowledgeable staff. Their heated massage tables are such a great touch to help me relax, along with their choice of ambient music and aromatherapy used in their three rooms. I also love their use of technology to secure an appointment--I almost always get a quick response and can secure an appointment that will fit into my busy schedule. Price wise, you get more than you pay for. I appreciate their simplicity and focus on their customers needs. All in all, I look forward to my next session and know that bliss is coming soon. Kenji is an amazing business owner and massage therapist. I am happy to patronize Honolulu Massage and Bodyworks. read more

When I'm on the rock, I usually get a massage. For the longest time, I went to a place down on the edge of Chinatown and have always been satisfied. But this year, I thought I'd try somewhere different and looking through Yelp, I found HMaB. I emailed through the website and received a call a day later. I did ask for Kenji since he seemed to be everyone's favorite, however, I was told he might not be available. My therapist was Patrick. I had 90 minutes of relaxing bliss. One thing he did, which was the first time I've had done, was a facial cranial massage. Maybe he saw the tension in my face from my school year. I felt really relaxed when I left. I didn't know about the parking validation, so I will do that next time. I'm sure all the therapists are great, but I would recommend Patrick if you need to to forget about the world outside. read more

luv luv luv I have been to many different massage therapists. I have had good massages and I also had those that made me feel like..."did I just waste an hour of my time?! ...Honolulu Massage and Bodyworks is definitely in the first category. Happened upon this newer company when the previous one in the exact same spot became just about non-existent. SO happy to find the newer "Honolulu Massage and Bodyworks!" This company is better run. Easier to book with. And the therapists are all golden. There is a staff of both male and female massage therapists for your preference. This no frills massage center also has no frills prices. I mean, you may not get a jacuzzi soak or a cup of herbal tea when your finished...what you will get is a solid therapeutic, feel good and good for you massage. Priced at $60 for a one hour massage, discounts are available if you buy a package of 5 massages. These certificates are transferrable. Have already given one away as a thank you gesture and, I know what I will be giving come this coming Christmas...the gift of total relaxation..!!! read more

Taking care of our body is so important, but it's so hard to maintain getting regular massages when it costs so much and/or finding a great masseuse. I've always had tight muscles and neck pains, so for me, it's super hard finding a masseuse that I like. I first heard about this place through my friend who gave me a gift certificate here for a 1-hour massage. Honolulu Massage and Bodyworks is located at Eaton Square, next to First Hawaiian Bank. Parking inside the Eaton Square Garage with validation is only $2. It's a tiny place with a cute little reception area and 3 rooms available for their clients. Their rooms are super clean and their massage beds are heated! Brownie points :) I've been here a couple times with different therapists every time, and although they are all different in their own styles, all of them were great and left me feeling relaxed and looser. I had Song on my 2nd visit, and he really understood my body and applied the right amount of pressure in the areas that were super tight. I liked the technique he used and the essential oils he held above my face allowed my lungs to breathe better too. After my 1-hour massage with him, as I was checking out, he gave me tips as my body was very stiff in my upper body, mainly the right side. He also validated my parking, which only cost $2 for 2-hours! I highly suggest getting their 5 one-hour massage gift certificates for $200. That's $40/massage! Such a great deal! With my body aches and pain, treating my body is essential. I'm so glad I found this place because now I know I can spend a reasonable amount of money and still receive excellent service in return. read more

Massage itself was wonderful. Professional service. Making a reservation took several calls. There was a constant fan in the massage room which was distracting, probably not modifiable. Good value. Would return on my next Honolulu trip. read more

Found this place from Groupon and I have to say it was one of the best deals I've purchased there. Locating a masseuse near me was a plus (no hunting for parking), but the massage itself was immensely satisfying, unlike massages I've had in the past. I've had less than 6 massages in my life before this and for some reason they always left me noticing more pain than before so I've never returned. Kenji, though, left me feeling noticeably less tight than before. I had to return because of ergonomics problems at work but will probably continue coming after that issue is resolved because it just feels good. read more

Got a groupon for a rally good price. Doing it for two. My bf and I. Kenji took our appointment. Flexible and easy guy. Song is massage Marlon. He's talkactive and fun. Kim is sweet and warm. Kim, She's amazing. Strong hand and very good upper body massage. Shoulder and hand and head massage is so perfect. She know all the knots on ur body. Heaven. I feel so good. Thanks kim and will be back for you :) Best massage I ever had Best massage I ever had read more

Honolulu Massage and Bodyworks - Use groupon and it has the best deal ever - Massage Therapy Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This review is for Kenji, my masseuse today. I was recovering from a cold, so I have major body aches. Sometimes you just feel like your body is crying for a massage. I asked Kenji to focus on my back and then a little of deep tissue full body massage, and I got exactly that. I felt like I was a piece of dough on the table, and Kenji was molding and kneeling me to all shapes and forms until my body is smooth without the knocks and kinks. Kenji's strokes were like water flowing up and down my body or a man doing tai chi! Needless to say, I walked refreshed and loosened up from the congestion that I've been having for days due to my cold. read more

I've been getting massages here for a couple of years now and every massage has been wonderful. Kenji and Steve are the best. They tune in on what is needed and give the right amount of pressure and focus. You can't beat the 4 one hour massages for $220, easy $3 parking and pleasant, simple atmosphere. I usually text Kenji and he is very accommodating to my schedule. I highly recommend getting a massage here. read more

My friend Jaime and I went here for the first time today. After trying other massage places, this is the best so far. We had Anitka and Kim...they were excellent. They both were careful on our comfort level. Both had very strong hands and paid attention to the tension areas. We will go back. They also have a special rate now, $200.00 for 5 one hour session. That's $40.00/per hour. What a steal for quality massage! read more

I've recently found that Groupon has a great way of networking some of the best businesses and services. This is one of them. They were so accommodating, they fit me in the same day I called (thank goodness because I just needed some TLC and a treat yourself kind of day) I got a 90 minute massage with Carolyn. (Sorry if I'm spelled your name wrong, love) But let me just say that I don't ever want to have another massage by anyone else. She really put in the love and time to make me feel relaxed and she knew why every muscle was tense or sore. She helped me stretch and really really relax, breathe. I felt genuinely happy, refreshed, and just in a better place from when I first walked in. That's all you really want from a session and she was amazing. You can tell she is amazing at what she does and I will definitely be back for more services, only by her! read more

I was able to secure an appointment for a 90-minute massage one day prior, which was appreciated. The place was nicely tucked in a building located not too far from Waikiki. Upon arrival, I was asked to complete a couple of usual registration and health information forms. I was then whisked to a massage room -- which was lean but functional. The massage itself started "just okay". I was looking for a relaxing experience, but the lady masseuse was interested in chatting, sharing about her recent trip to California, and about her experience in restorative massage. All in all I didn't mind conversing, it was just the fact that I was looking for a quiet and zen time. The conversation eventually subsided, and amazingly I fell asleep through the whole appointment. I was happy I had a decent deal. Will probably return. read more

I was really excited about trying this place. Appointment times are available but if your looking for two back to back massages or even a massage for two you need to make sure you give advance notice. The recommended time was 2pm then to come back at 7pm for the second massage. Not feasible. I'm still giving two stars because I didn't give a lot of notice but hey sometimes groupon deals are quick and we just buy to store the option. I had to cancel my order because I'm leaving Hawaii soon. Star rating is for appointment availability and lack of accommodation/help received from the person whom answered the phone. read more

Honolulu Massage and Bodyworks - Forced to get a groupon refund because massage availability could not accommodate 2 back to back appointments or two massages at same time. - Massage Therapy Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I want to start by saying being a massage therapist can be a double edged sword, in that you know how you like to be worked on and it's hard to find that person that lets you relax without you constantly thinking about what he/she could/should be doing. I am happy to report that I have found that person. *happy dance* I've been here twice now, and have left with my poor shoulders feeling so much lighter and a big ol' smile on my face. Kenji is the therapist I see (and also the owner), and he has a great touch with plenty of experience to back it. For me, I need deep enough pressure to do something, but I want to be able to relax and not feel sore for three days after. I'm also very tight in my calves and hamstrings and while you can go elbow deep in my shoulders, you have to be NICE to my legs! Kenji acknowledged this and does just that. Great massage, talks with me when I talk to him and but let's me drift off to la-la land when I eventually trail off. His office is small, but very clean and with music playing. It's the same for treatment rooms AND they have heated beds! Love! You can park in the garage with two hour validation which is awesome for the area that it's in. And lastly, great prices for such an excellent treatment. Highly recommend checking it out for yourself. It's definitely my go to place when the masseuse needs a massage. ;) read more

I came here a year ago and I absolutely hated my massage with a gal name Sue. But I came back today because a friend of mine wanted to get his regular massage. The stars aligned and I met Kenji! Hands-down, this was the best massage ever. I've had many many many massages over the course of my life and seriously, he worked his magic. I was completely relaxed and in massage heaven. For those who are looking for a really good massage, you need to come see Kenji. He has work at all over the five stars establishments on the island but this is exactly where you need to come for a five star massage. Thank you so much and Mahalo. I'm so happy! read more

Great place! Friendly staff and high quality service. I had a very relaxing massage and achey areas feel much better now. I had trouble finding the place and made a poor presumption about the availability of street parking, and the result is that I arrived SUPER late. I felt really bad, but I was amazed by how understanding they were. My massage therapist fit me in for the full hour even though he had someone coming in right after I left, leaving him no lunch break. It's not part of their policy to do this, so future customers shouldn't expect it--but I wanted to point out their friendliness and understanding, and that's the sign of a good business. Regarding location and parking: there is a parking structure at Eaton Place at the intersection of Hobron and Lipe'epe'e (just makai of Ala Wai). Go to the 3rd floor of the garage and there's a sky-bridge-style exit that takes you straight to the spot. Without knowing this in advance, it can be really hard to find the place. read more

I highly recommend! I called on a Wednesday and left a voice message. They returned my call within 30 minutes, and I was able to make an appointment for Saturday. Kenji was my masseuse, and he was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. We had a thorough chat about where I was aching, so he put a lot of focus there before moving on. He's very in-tune with you; he noticed when I was tensing up or breathing differently, so he lightened or deepened the pressure depending on how I was reacting. It was one of the best massages I've ever had! I came here with a Groupon, but I'm considering becoming more of a regular. They have Kama'aina discount and also a special package deal for four 1-hour sessions. read more

Honolulu Massage and Bodyworks - Price list as of September 2018 - Massage Therapy Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've been here several times. It started because my friend (the owner) opened shop and I was just trying to be supportive. But now, I can't stop because the massages are amazing! And the pricing is so reasonable, I went from rarely treating myself to massages to going, I don't know, once a month-ish? Overview This is not a spa. This is a no-frills, get a good massage at a reasonable price and a small cup of water after kind of place. If you're looking for, I don't know, super luxurious accommodations? This isn't the place for you. If all that matters to you is the massage, this might just be paradise. Location Eaton Square in Waikiki. A little hard to find because it's tucked away in some nook at the beginning of Waikiki (on the Ala Moana end). It's on the 3rd floor which really looks like the 2nd floor. Look for the vinyl sign when you walk into the center. Parking Eaton Square has a parking structure and you may as well use it. The massage place offers subsidized parking - $2 for 2 hours. Just remember to bring your parking stub in and they'll put stickers on it. There's metered parking outside, $1.50 for 1 hour, but if you're getting an hour massage, you probably don't want to undo the relaxing effect of the massage by running out there before your meter expires. Atmosphere Kinda plain in the waiting room. There are two couches and some art on the wall and they have music playing. Totally nothing fancy. There are 3 massage rooms -- they are also pretty plain, but it doesn't matter. The massage tables are comfy and heated and your eyes are closed and you, theoretically, shouldn't be paying attention to any of that when you're getting your massage. Services Holy crap, the massages are awesome. If you are able to, request that Kenji be your massage therapist. I always tell him he has magic fingers. I'm not an easy person to massage -- my back is crooked due to scoliosis. But he has figured out how to massage me in a way that other massage therapists could never do. I've had a few other massage therapists there and they were okay (not bad at all, just not as good as Kenji). Prices Cheap! (I mean, affordable.) They have a kama'aina discount and you should seriously ask about it, because it makes a huge difference, but non-kama'aina rates make an hour massage $60. Worth every penny! And they have specials! And Groupons! And did I mention good massages for awesome prices? read more

Today was such a great add to my vacation!! My cousin brought me here to support her friend's business, and I was more than satisfied with the massage I got. This place is simply two couches and check-in desk in the lobby, and three treatment rooms behind it. It isn't a full on day spa with steam rooms, saunas & jacuzzis but not having the extra amenities does not take anything away from the massage. After a 6 hour flight and a hike up Koko Head in the past two days, a full body massage was exactly what I needed. Kenji lead me into a room and did a little q&a before stepping out for me to undress and slip in under the sheets before "the magic" began. The room was a bit cool but felt nice to be in since it was really warm out and the bed was heated just right to prevent the chills. During the massage, the conversation was kept to a minimum which is really appreciated (nothing like a chatty Cathy masseuse to kill a relaxing massage)... other than telling me to relax in the beginning and later a reminder to keep breathing (I tend to forget), only other words were to make sure I was doing okay and to tell me when to flip over. Kenji's strong hands along with his knowledge and technique for his art had me leaving the table feeling like a wet noodle. I'm seriously considering booking another appointment before I have to fly back to SoCal, but guaranteed I will be including a visit every time I come back to Hawai'i. read more

Kenji is awesome and super professional! I arrived a little early and he took me in so I didn't have to wait. I was such a stress ball when I walked into this place, I had my shoulders up by ears and my lower back was so stiff I could barely bend over without severe discomfort. I circled so many problem areas on the questionnaire I had doubts he would time to hit them all. But he worked out several muscle groups at the same time with excellent technique which meant perfect time management! Parking is $2 at Eaton square garage if you get your ticket validated. The space is next door to purple yoga and is simple but clean and cozy. The prices are unbeatable and the service is more than what I've gotten from more expensive places like turtle bay. My only regret is not seeing him sooner but I will definitely be back! read more

The koi fishes outside can be fed for just 0.25c :) Super relaxing and peaceful massage. First ever and definitely not the last!

My first visit was AMAZING! Kenji worked my crazy shoulder knots better than any other massage therapist !!!!!! I have been to many and if they are not up to my expectations I don't go back, ever. I am scheduled for my second therapy with Kenji and must say he is very good!!!! Nice clean, up to date office and massage rooms, professional service with a smile! They have a hot towel wipe down that is awesome so you are not leaving with massage oil all over you. I am recommending him to all my friends and family!!!! Guaranteed quality service! read more

We discovered this business though Groupon, where we bought 2 one-hour massages. First of all, the office, located in Eaton Square, was a little difficult to find. But once we found it, we really enjoyed our experience!! The massage rooms are nice and comfy....not quite as luxurious as a spa....but good enough. My therapist, Kim, did an hour-long deep tissue massage on me. The pressure was perfect and she worked really diligently on my problem areas, mainly my shoulders. It was nice to have her work out all of my knots......I was so relaxed that I think I feel asleep, lol. My bf really liked his therapist too. He likes really hard, deep tissue massages and he said his masseuse really worked on him!! After our massages, they mentioned a deal they have that includes 5 hour-long massages for $200. Meaning, $40 for an hour-long massage. Sold. We bought into that great deal and will probably purchase more in the future. The staff was really nice. When I called for our last appointment, the gentleman answering the phone was so nice and helpful. Great customer service!! Perhaps one of my most successful Groupon experiences. I highly recommend this place! read more

I get massages on a regular basis. I was in the area for work, and decided to try this place out on a whim. THE best massage I have ever gotten. Hands down. No question. I have never felt so relaxed and so comfortable. I got a 90 minute massage, the massage therapist, thought it was a 60 minute massage. So when he said we were all done, I didn't even question it because I was THAT relaxed. He left the room then a few minutes later, he knocked and, after making sure I was decent, he came in and apologized. I said I would finish the session up and so he continued. I would like to mention that I got this massage a year and a half ago...I didn't write a review before because...well...I don't normally write reviews. I got a massage yesterday in CA, it was good but it made me remember this place. It is now that I feel compelled to write this. read more

Tip: park in Eaton Square parking lot, they validate. Costs $2. Office is located upstairs, first door on the right in the corner. Annetka does an incredible Lomi-Lomi & deep tissue massage. Best deal on Oahu! Get the $200 special for 5 massages; I share with my husband. Worth every penny! read more

You know how sometimes you get a massage and it's just so-so? Not here! I bought a Groupon special, but not without doing my research. Kenji is the bomb. Now don't go booking up the appointments - find your own awesome masseuse! If you want the fancy spa experience, this isn't the place. But if you want a reasonably priced bombtastic massage that will leave you feeling like a noodle (in a good way!), look no further. There's validated and street parking, too... read more

AMAZING. OK, let's start from the beginning. 2 stars for parking We just parked on the street and paid the meter 2 stars for building *that's normal for Honolulu though!! 3 stars for ambiance, decor and Cleanliness 5 stars for price (we got a deal online) 5 stars for length of time! We got extra time 5 stars for massage 5 stars for pressure points 5 stars for privacy (Honestly I am a modest person, so this was important to me!) 5 stars for the person knowing what they were doing. I wish I could come back sooner. read more

Very pleasant, not the nicest location however staff was very friendly... there was a steal of a Groupon which led me to check it out. The massage therapist I had was skilled and informative. I was a little skeptical when entering but once settled in and relaxed was an overall nice experience. read more

Just got home from a massage from Steve. It was wonderful!! Steve was professional and friendly. I've been under stress lately but have decided to try to get active again, (was formally very active until work got in the way). Steve really tuned into the areas that I needed to relieve tension in and afterwards I felt like jello...in a good way! My body was really tense and it has been regularly that way due to stress. This was exactly what I needed. Parking: Easy to find, I used the meter because I didn't do my research beforehand and parked at the Eaton Square parking structure. $2.00 w/validation Location: Waikiki Price: Reasonable, (I got a groupon for a steal) $65 for 60 mins $10 off for Kamaina! Ambiance: Simple but peaceful Customer Service: Very professional and friendly :) I will definitely be a return customer when I'm need in of some pampering. read more

This is my first time here. Came with a friend, Was highly recomended. Easy to find, Plenty parking, Friendly staff, CLEAN ! $60.00 a hour. you can buy 5 coupons for $200.00/ $40.00each. Great deal!!! This is straight forward massage only. No showers, no fancy lounge area, Kinda no frils kinda place. Thats why it's cheap! Not a problom for me. Good cheap massage is fine with me. A little relaxsation and theripy goes a long way. I'll be back. read more

My Friend Recommend this place,and my first visit was AMAZING!KENJI knows how to worked my tight shoulder, I've been to different massage therapists but he's the only one that satisfied and ddn't give me sore body after.Pressure is completely perfect it makes me go back anytime soon.I highly Recommend and definitely go back! read more

Hands down the best massage I have ever had! Prices are fantastic, flexible scheduling and convenient location, I will be buying gift certificates as gifts to all my friends:) I'm a very pleased customer!!! read more

I was looking for a reasonably priced massage in Waikiki while in Honolulu for a conference. The conference hotel had a spa where 90 minute massages were almost 200 dollars. After reading the good reviews on Groupon, I purchased the 90min massage for under 80 dollars. To say it was a bargain is an understatement! The office is small and no frills, but it is clean and the staff friendly (but not too friendly if you know what I mean). The quality of Kenji's massage was fantastic. I only had to walk 4 min from Hilton Hawaiian Village. I had very specific limitations for where I can be massaged and with how much pressure -- Kenji listened to every request and was perfect -- his 19 years of experience are evident. I highly recommend. read more

Learned about this place via a Groupon deal. It's a simple and clean office, and staff is friendly. I had deep tissue from Chelsea on my first visit and Kenji on my second visit - both are great. Each worked on the areas that were "ailing" me - and even managed to find a few extra ones! I was extremely pleased and even bought 5 more massages on the spot (they have a $200 for five 60 minute massages special - you can't beat their prices. Looking forward to my next hour of bliss. Parking in Eaton Square is easy, and bring your parking stub in so they can give you 2 hours for $2. read more

I've had MANY massages and Kenji is hands down the best massage therapist ever! He found & took out every knot in my body and left feeling like jello. I bought a Groupon because after a year living in Hawaii, I finally needed one. I did a quick Yelp to see if the reviews were decent and decided to purchase. It was an awesome deal $40 for 60 mins. I've hit the jackpot on the first try! There are plenty of street parking but they do validate in the garage for $2. Go into the business complex and up the 2nd floor above First Hawaiian Bank. Place is clean & very simple, like an office. Definitely not a spa like facility, just straight massage clinic. They offer a package of 5 sessions for $200, which comes out to $40 each, and you can give them to others. read more

I had one of the best massages that I've ever had here. The therapist was Steve and he was excellent. I'll be returning back!

After receiving a massage from Kenji, I feel like I'm floating, lol. Super pleasant staff, easy to schedule, and amazing massage!

Amazing massage from Anika! I loved her bubbly personality and she is just so good at finding the knots and tight spots. I felt so pampered and healed from the inside out. The place is relatively easy to find even for a tourist like me. I regret that I am going home otherwise this would have been my regular place for therapeutic massages! The entire building is quiet and from the parking lot you walk past a koi pond so you can get in the right frame of mind for relaxing and zen. Of course the prices, the fact that you get a full hour and not get ripped off like most places on the mainland where undressing accounts for part of your massage hour. Excellent place!!!!!!!!! read more
