That was truly in my top 3 best massages ever; and Ive gotten massages many parts of the country and the world. The STRETCHES - oh. my goodness. So necessary. Everything about it was necessary. I like that you are lying on something like a mattress, however I would prefer there to be a space to put your face. Other than that, when I am back in Chicago, I will most certainly revisit! I am very active, so adding in those stretches with the deep massage was so fantastic. read more

I had a 60 min Thai Bodywork massage with Paula. It was one of the best massages I have ever had - and I am a frequent massage client. I'm new to Thai massage, so for anyone who is curious, you'll be in a private room, lying on a thick, squishy mat on the floor where you'll be stretched and massaged for the full hour. There is a sheet for coverage, and Paula checked with me to make sure the pressure was okay. I was never uncomfortable at all, and the employees were so professional, welcoming and sweet. Very relaxing and inviting environment. I can't wait to go back. read more

See all

First Thai massage in Chicago and I think I've found my go to place! I love massages and have had them all over the world and this place is great! Strong hands, friendly and clean! Perfect temperature in the room and good relaxation music. It's a little hidden, and no parking but there's street parking. I felt so relaxed after! read more

Great value for the price! Loved my Thai massage, the first one I've had, but I'll be back!

This is the best place if you want to get a massage. I have come here a few times, and they do not disappoint. Highly recommend.

The massage woman I got was not good. She applied no massage techniques! All she did was rub hot stones on my body and applied very light pressure with her hands throughout my body. Despite me telling her where I needed work on and hard pressure. Definitely not worth 130 dollars. Plus the manager was mad and angry at me because I did not leave a tip since I was not happy with the service! Horrible manager! I regret going. Will not be returning and will never recommend! Horrible experience horrible customer service horrible manager!!! read more

Bodywork is a good word for it. The massage was unlike anything I've experienced before. The masseuse used intense stretching and pressure to work every muscle in the body. I felt very sore the next day - like after the gym. This was in the best way possible. The only issue I had was with the website. I tried to book through my phone and the button to proceed with the reservation was missing. I switched to my laptop and the website was still giving me trouble. I wanted to book two massages at the same time and it ended up picking a random time for the second massage. I texted the number on the website and they resolved our issue outside of business hours. They were able to see us at our desired time. In addition to our massage, we booked cupping, which was also more intense than I've had before. Overall, we really liked the experience. Just be aware of the soreness to come. Drink a lot of water! Expect cupping to leave marks for a while. read more

This place was incredible. We scheduled at the night before and they came in early to accommodate a couples massage for my husband and I. The Thai experience is so completely than just a regular massage. There was stretching, hot stones, deep tissue, relaxation. It was incredible. I would really highly recommend this place. Very clean and very friendly. read more

Amazing massage quality and excellent service! I arrived for my first massage after booking a last minute appointment. They accidentally mixed up the schedule but was still able to fit me in and were able to give me a discount Staff and owner were so gracious and kind read more

An update post-covid. My husband and I decided to do a couples massage with hot stones and unfortunately, we left a bit disappointed. The hot stones were only used for ~5-10 minutes of the entire 90 minute massage we booked, and I personally didn't feel like it was worth the price for the time used. Additionally, I had a really strange experience where near the end of my massage (last 20 minutes), the person giving me the massage started falling asleep. I could feel her start and stop and jerk a little to fight to keep awake. For ~$300 ($150 per person), it was a disappointing experience. read more

Such a wonderful experience. Everytime! I love this place. So friendly, such amazing massages! I mean AMAZING! Thank you Lang Ocean.

These ladies squeezed the shit out of us but OMG totally needed badly! If we ever visit Chicago again will definitely coming back!!!

Love this place, total gem! It's super easy to make a reservation and you'll get the best massage of your entire life!

I've been there twice. I will always visit when I go to Chicago. I randomly found this place and will continue to go. Took my 15 yr old last time she loved it too. read more

My husband and I have been receiving massages at Lang Ocean Spa for a number of years, so it's about time we left a review! Be cause I have been using them almost exclusively, having lower back and circulatory issues, whenever anyone I know needs massage therapy I refer them to Lang Ocean. The combination of Thai stretching with deep tissue is my personal go-to. I get massages from multiple therapists, all female, trained in Asian technique. The massages I have received have been effective, relieving of pain in particular, and the Thai part in particular doesn't trigger my restless leg. My husband and I are always happy when we do couples massage on date nite--from the clients I see there that is a popular choice. The waiting room is comfy and evokes Thai vibe, if you like that...very peaceful even though you rarely need to be waiting mire than a few minutes. I will continue to come to Lang Ocean Spa indefinitely, We both highly, highly reconnect it. read more

We love this place. Great value and great massages. Best ever! Thai massage is the best. Through a variety of other add ones like body scrub, hot stones, they provide the best massage value in Chicago. read more

Great massage. I used to deep tissue massages but this Thai massage was so relaxing. They also cracked my back which was really cool. I'll definitely come back read more

Outstanding Thai massage in a clean and quaint location tucked away on W. Chicago. Great technique, service and very attentive! Will be back! read more

This spa was able to add me in on a busy day and I appreciated it. I was going to play pickleball that evening and my muscles were so tense from a busy week of moving furniture and traveling. I left the spa feeling stretched, relaxed and ready to take on the world. Great massage and stretching! I had the Thai 90 min massage and highly recommend it. I will be returning! I played the best game of pickleball that night! read more

Been here a couple times and the massages are amazing. Very fairly priced and the massuses know a lot of professional techniques. The attention to detail and stretches are on point read more

Clean, affordable, and an awesome deep tissue massage. Very thorough service. Will be back! read more

This is legit Thai Massage. I put in a call ~30min after they opened on a Friday and was able to book a lunch-break session. The space is super-clean, the ambiance is perfect, and though I'd landed ~15min early, and had expected to wait, they were able to start my session immediately. My practitioner was absolutely amazing. I elected for the deep-tissue with minor stretching, and throughout my 60min session, she would check-in to make sure the pressure was dialed in just right. My back was a knotted mess (I carry stress behind my shoulder blades), and my practitioner was able to hone in on the problem areas and work them out with zero-to-negligible pain. I know it sounds like something ripped form the cliche machine - but there's really no other way to put it: I feel like $1M bucks. Price point for the services rendered is an amazing deal; I'll be making monthly visits to Lang Ocean Spa, no doubt. Absolutely incredible place. read more

Amazing!!! be prepared to get pulled ! make sure to not wear jewelery tho. i forgot to take off before massage. they know what spots need attention without u telling them! just AWESOME! read more

Unique experience. Enjoyed it and felt relaxed after my message. I would recommend it giving it a try.

Got Thai massage in Thailand, really enjoyed it. So happy that I found Lang Ocean Spa, had very good experience. I would say better than I had before. 90 minutes with free hot stone treatment is a perfect session. Will definitely come back ! read more

My message here was superb! My last massage was back in Thailand in 2015, and this probably topped it. The masseuse was comprehensive, communicative, and direct. I highly recommend this place. I tipped them well for their speedy and courteous service. read more

My husband and I went for a fantastic couples massage this weekend and couldn't recommend Lang Ocean Spa enough! They have great communication, checking in and out was easy, they were all so friendly. Not to mention, each person in the waiting room had a big smile on their face after their massages. If that isn't a sign of relaxation, I don't know what is! read more

This place will knead you to pieces and let you rise like a soft, delicious brioche afterwards. Grace was my masseuse and was literally so amazing I hugged her after. FYI I am not a hugger. read more

This massage was phenomenal. I had no idea what to expect when I entered, but the massage I had blew my expectations out of the water. I travel a lot and look for Thai massages after a day of travel. I've never experienced a better massage than this. I wish I had more reasons to come back to Chicago...just for this massage. read more

Had a very stressful week and could feel all the neck tension so my son recommended this place. I called and got an appointment same day. The location is very nondescript so you really have to look. Easy metered parking in front. Wakes downstairs to Chicago's lol slice of Thailand. Nice clean space with authentic Thai decor. Grace was my therapist and she was soooo amazing. One of the best massages ever. She made sure the pressure was what I wanted. My new favorite place. We chatted at the end and gave me a great restaurant suggestion. Go already read more

Lang Ocean Spa Thai Bodywork - My room for my Thai Bodywork session. - Massage Therapy Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Hands down the best massages I've ever had - not to mention great prices. I floated all the way home. Highly recommend.

I just had my first thai massage and it was nothing short of incredible. I found Lang Ocean Spa on google reviews and it did not disappoint. The staff is very friendly, ambiance is perfect for relaxation. The massage itself was phenomenal, 90 minutes with Grace and I feel taller and more flexible. HIGHLY recommend! read more

Massage (made by Paula) was amazing. Definitely 5 stars. She was very nice and professional. However, the administrator (don't remember her name) behaved inappropriately - I would give her 0 starts if I could. She spoiled not only the visit, but my day in general. On average, 3 stars. I will never come back to this place because I don't think it is appropriate to push on clients. read more

It has a very capable staff and an accommodating owner. I have been able to schedule day of massages and every masseuse I have been assigned has been wonderful. The facilities are clean and warm. I have repeated my visit several times and will continue to do so. read more

This spa is very clean, with no creepy vibe whatsoever. I just got the best massage of my life. Sciatica was making it painful to walk, and the combination of massage, hot stones, and stretching had me able to walk up the stairs after the massage!! I feel like the tin man after he got oiled read more

This is, by far, my favorite massage spot. They provide authentic Thai massage. Most of the masseuses are from Thailand (or a nearby country). I don't know what kind of training they went through, but it certainly wasn't some 6 month massage certification course. It feels like they've had decades of training/experience. I get massages during my triathlon training season. It's been a game changer. I've struggled w/a few chronic injuries (e.g. impinged shoulder, ruptured calf, torn MCL). And any time they flair up, one session almost always heals it. Every masseuse is top notch. I've had sessions with almost everyone. read more

Wow! I've never reviewed a massage spa, but this place is like magic. Walked in here with a really tight back, could barely walk, walked out without feeling a thing. Thanks Grace! I'll definitely frequent this spot read more

Good massages , but poor customer service. I booked a massage and they cancelled my appointment on the day of my appointment. They contacted me at 12:30pm to confirm my 2pm appointment. I didn't have a chance to reply until 1pm, but by that time, my appointment had already been cancelled. Unfortunately, this company is not reliable :/ read more

Racist person at the front desk. Also I heard the clock ticking the whole massage and the doorbell ringing every 5 minutes. Could not relax

This place is a hidden gem in Chicago! They're so welcoming and the place is very clean. I had a 60 minute deep tissue massage with Lisa and she was phenomenal! She was able to work through the knots in my upper back and release any tension. Even though, the pressure was very firm I didn't feel any pain. Thank you, Lisa!! I highly recommend this place! read more
