Woah woah woah, SUPER not cool to give a place one star…read moreJUST because you're "curious of legitimacy." That's what the question section is for, not worthy of a 1 star when you clearly know nothing about this place. HONESTLY: It broke my heart to see this wonderful woman has only 1 star reviews posted up now only by people who judge before they have the guts to walk in and try. Y'all gotta stop acting like sheep. Yelp is NOT a game, small businesses NEED reviews to stay afloat; It can LITERALLY make or break a whole family when stuff like this happens. If the place is bad by all means let people know how they hurt you. But don't speak on what you don't know, because you don't know. I ACTUALLY HAVE gotten a massage here and, as a woman, I felt safe the whole time, and My husband was in the lobby. The services are of quality, and it was a FANTASTIC hour FOR ME PERSONALLY. The woman who worked on me, whose name I regretfully have forgotten now due to my passionate rage; was not only super respectful, but asked what area I needed help with, the pressure level, and gave my allotted time to that problematic and "stressed" area. She will do work on whatever you need help with as far as muscle structure. She knows how to comfortably remove muscle knots. As long as you communicate, she can help you. She very patient, sweet, and kind. If you go to massages often, you'll know this is not always the case. It's more of a "nail salon, how can I help you" vibe here at Japanese Massage, rather than the usual: "you pay for a leg massage I only touch one leg for one price" scammy kinda vibe most common on cruise ships. That means she cares about helping you, not about how much you have to pay. She legitimately will let you know where you're holding tension, and help you relieve it. In my case to clarify: I personally had shoulder pain. She worked on my shoulders to release knots. While it's usually a quiet painful process with too much pressure on one spot, I had a surprisingly wonderful time! This lady was very kind and actually made me laugh with stories of Japan. On that note: (Added bonus for the Otaku's of the area): SHE ACTUALLY SPEAKS JAPANESE. I literally had my first conversation IN YEARS in FULL Japanese with someone who is ACTUALLY from Japan and IS an actual native speaker. That's why I really came in. I was hoping she'd speak Japanese, and so I stopped by; I was not at all disappointed under this woman's kind care for over an hour. So, really though. If you're stressed and your shoulders feel hard, go see this woman. Because this is a perfect example, I'll say it again: Y'all gotta stop speaking on what you don't know anything about. Family owned and especially the Asian owned businesses in our area are JUST AS VALID as anywhere's else's family businesses. Culture in America is to be Celebrated, not to divide us. I know family businesses bring us all together by offering common services and food from THEIR CULTURE and homes to share in "The Melting Pot" of the America we all are living here in. Don't forget we're all just trying to thrive over here. So if you wanna play a game to talk smack on what you didn't take the time to learn about, do everyone a favor keep your ignorant opinions on social media -- where no one really cares -- until you DO know and have REASON to give a 1 star. Realize you are part of the consumer problem domestically and stop hurting businesses -- who are just trying to thrive also -- before you've ever even walked in the door and looked them in the eye. TL;DR: This is best massage place in town. She's great. Really, pay this angel of a woman for her time and let her make you feel better. That's all she's trying to do. Nothing sketch, nothing seedy. So keep your insensitivity to yourself. This lady is a wonderful person and deserves the same chance to thrive as everyone else born or brought here does. Be respectful to gain respect.

I normally get a massage at my chiropractor, but they were fully booked for days. I found this place nearby by and gave it a try due to the reviews on Google and the price. I should have known better. It's in a run down strip mall area of SB. The first warning was the double bared doors when you enter. It was very creepy. They make you pay before the massage. I paid by card $40 for 30 minutes. 2 guys came in after me and they were trying to push me to the back of the building quickly. They put me in this small back room which smelled weird. I informed the lady that I needed my neck muscles massaged only. She told me to remove my top & bra, but didn't give me anything to cover up with or she didn't walk out while I changed. The massage was okay, but I couldn't relax because it was so creepy in there. I kept waiting for some guy to start moaning in the next room. It had that vibe. She also kept reaching down and snapping my panties. I kept telling her my neck only but she kept doing it. Gross!!! The thing that really upset me was I gave her a $4 tip with cash on the way out. Then the next day my husband told me that they charged my card an additional $6. That place was so creepy that I didn't want to go back to dispute it. Beware that they over charge your card.
