I didn't expect much after being disappointed by past massages with others, but Marina Massage pleasantly surprised me! Yuki was amazing and gave me a very balanced massage and so much tension relief. It was also a clean and peaceful space. I'll be back! read more

TONY has been my go-to masseuse for years, since before the pandemic, and I always come back to him no matter how many other places I try. He's rock solid reliable, I've never had a bad massage from him, ever. If I so much as make a noise about a tight spot, he zeroes in and works it until it's actually released. I need firm, deep tissue pressure, and with most masseuses I end up repeating myself over and over, saying stronger, stronger. Not with Tony. He just gets it right from the start, strong enough to really dig into the knots but somehow still totally relaxing. He doesn't speak much English, but honestly it's never mattered, he's always warm, kind, and respectful. Tony is the best and I recommend him without hesitation. read more

Had an overall decent experience here. My girlfriend surprised me with a massage date so that was exciting! My massage wasn't bad but my girlfriend was in a lot of pain immediately coming out of the massage. Not sure what happened there but she didn't have the greatest experience. read more

I live nearby and have been coming here for massages for a while, so I've had the chance to try a few different therapists and they've all been solid. But once I booked with Yuki, it was clear she stood out. There's something really special about her touch. Her hands are soft but strong, the pressure is always just right, and she clearly understands the body. The massage flows so smoothly that the time flies by, and before you know it, you're already thinking about booking your next session with her. The ambiance of the place is simple and calming, which I really appreciate. It's very minimal and clean, with pretty flowers and plants that make the space feel peaceful without trying too hard. Nothing feels cluttered or overdone. It's the kind of environment that helps you relax the moment you walk in. One thing to note is that there isn't really a receptionist on-site, so if you're planning to visit, you'll want to call or book online for pretty much everything. Once you know that, it's easy and straightforward. Yuki's workroom is always immaculate. Clean sheets, a light aromatic scent, everything neatly organized. She has an air purifier running and uses high-quality oils and creams. The add-ons are honestly amazing. The hot stones and CBD oil were incredible and took the massage to another level. I also liked that her certificates and professional information were clearly displayed in the room, which made the experience feel very professional and reassuring. Yuki herself is warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive. She checks in, listens to what your body needs, and makes you feel completely comfortable. It's rare to find a massage therapist who speaks multiple languages and truly loves what they do, and that passion shows in her work. She has the sweetest smile and a calm, reassuring presence that instantly puts you at ease. Her rates are a bit higher than the other staff at $93 for one hour and $135 for 1.5 hours, and add-ons cost extra, but it's absolutely worth it. I always leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and cared for. I've definitely found my person, and yes, she might also be the cutest therapist there. read more

Clean, efficient, overall, fine. I asked for 1 hour deep tissue and had much more of a Swedish massage, heavily focused on hot stones. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I needed or expected. It was a fine massage, but I probably won't return. read more

This place is magical. The 90 minute massage with Tony was the best massage I have ever received in my life. He is my hero today. He saved my thrown out back. Now I'm back , same day treating my daughter to this magical massage. With Tony, everyone here is good , Jasmine is fantastic. I would give this place a 10 out of 10 . 5 stars. Thank you . read more

1st time here and it was easy to book. I had a pinched nerve and a stiff neck. I desperately needed a deep tissue massage. My masseuse was Tony. He did a great job. I put on my chart the problem areas and he made sure to pay extra attention to them. I highly recommend coming in for a deep tissue with Tony. read more

I'll make it super easy for you - ask for Yuki. I'm a massage junkie, tested all the spots in LA. Yuki is one of the best. Let her know your preferences and she can adjust. For me, it's the perfect balance between flowy and just the right pressure. Don't ask for Yuki if you want a weak massage that does nothing. You ask for her if you want therapeutic bodywork that leaves your body feeling the best for a while. read more

I booked an appointment with Yuki after reading several positive reviews, and I'm so glad I did. Yuki is still in school, but you would never guess it from the quality of the massage. From the start, Yuki was thoughtful and professional, asking great questions about problem areas and really listening to what I needed. I've been dealing with a pinched nerve, and Yuki focused carefully on those areas while still giving attention to all other areas. Perfect pressure and technique. Very intuitive and skilled. I left feeling much more relaxed and with noticeable relief in the areas that had been bothering me. read more

I live 10min away for almost 6 years and just discovered this place. Better late than never, the rooms were clean, staff is friendly, I booked Yuki for deep tissue for 90min and I got just what I needed! She took great care of me and it was great, and if I'm not still sore by next week, I'll be back again! Thank you Yuki! read more

One of the best massages I've had! JJ Kawasaki is an incredibly skilled therapist who is truly a master of his practice. I initially went in for just a massage but then decided to treat myself to the cupping and hot stone therapy. So worth it!!!!!! I'd highly recommend!!!!!! I left my session feeling lighter, refreshed, and completely renewed. I will definitely be back soon to book another appointment with Master JJ!!!! read more

I have been going to marina massage for a couple years now. I always do a two hour deep tissue massage with Amanda. She is the best masseuse I've ever had. She gets so deep into my muscle fibers and finds every single knot I have (some I didn't even know I had) and spends her time to release them. I cannot express how amazing she is! I always feel so relaxed and zen after which is what you want from a massage. When it comes to the overall experience marina massage is clean, quiet, and very peaceful. read more

Based on the reviews, this place and service is not that good, but even more outrageous is the unethical legality of this entity. The first time I tried to make an appointment, this entity asked me to go online to fill out the intake form with an arbitration agreement to sign the consumers' rights away from getting an attorney, if needed. Already, this is unethical of this entity to be doing. Consumers have every right to an attorney, when necessary. When I tried to explain to Lex on the phone that if the consumer prefers to use another consent and intake form over their own, then the consumer is not obligated to duplicate her or his efforts to sign the entity's forms in addition to the one that the consumer prefers to provide to them. This is a mandate by the HIPAA Privacy Rule that an entity cannot coerce, manipulate, force, trick, etc., the consumer into signing their forms over the form that the consumer prefers to provide over theirs. It is secondly also unethical to refuse service to a consumer just because the consumer wishes to provide a preferred form over theirs. So with respect, I instructed Lex to remove me from the schedule, immediately despite the time and energy taken already to explain to her. If this entity is already not trustworthy enough to coerce the customer into signing our rights to an attorney and do arbitration instead, I want no part in this organization, an organization that is supposed to be making you relax, ironically, and feel better. Some irony this is. Per the other reviews , the floors are also "wet and disgusting" and they have the audacity to manipulate us into signing away our rights to an attorney should we slip and fall, injure ourselves, because they were negligent to say at the least. They state in their contract that we need to acknowledge their wet floors and they are basically not responsible for our safety. What a joke. Safety and hygiene does in fact matter in a massage facility and it is appalling how they want for the consumer to be responsible for all their mishaps and negligence. Who knows at this rate about which communicable diseases are spread in this facility as well. I also was told that the two hour massage was $150 and then just learned that they supposedly increased their prices, again. Another added no-go to this imbalanced equation. Less than 10 percent of consumer ever read consent forms Carefully before Signing- Most don't read at all! Consumers need to study their rights better and be more prepared to arm themselves against these entities with very questionable business Practices, which in the end will harm no one but the consumer who was not guilty in the first place. The consumer has many rights that they should not be manipulated and coerced into signing away just to get massage and beauty services. Don't believe their dishonesty and lack of transparencies. And by the looks of it, the service itself is also questionable and inconsistent as they try to bury all negative legit reviews with solicitations constantly for positive ones. The owner ties a noose around his neck by arguing tangential to the legit points being made in the negative reviews as well as undermining the truth that we tell. This entity's release of liability waivers are very one-sided and at best, only protects themselves while blame shifting their responsibilities onto the consumer. The demand to waive our rights to an attorney is appalling and a definite red flag that reveals their true colors. Thankfully there are numerous other competing massage entities out there. Never sign your rights away as a consumer. Be sure to read the contracts carefully and educate yourselves on your rights as consumers. Stand your ground or pay for succumbing to it later. read more

JJ is an exceptional therapist who knows how to help address any pain points or concerns you may have . I've known him for a long time, and he is my absolute favorite. I recommend him to everyone! JJ is truly amazing with reflexology and alignment. He has a fantastic range of modalities, including hot stone, stretching, Shiatsu, traditional massage, and cupping. I've personally experienced him realigning my posture, which significantly helped with my back pain. Every time I visit, I walk in feeling crooked and stressed, and I leave feeling relaxed, stretched, aligned, balanced, healthy and detoxed. He consistently knows how to help realign me, makes me feel like family, and I always feel like a new person after each session. The hot stones and cupping are definitely worth adding! JJ knows best! read more

This place is dirty and the massages are not good. The worst part of my experience involves a missing piece of jewelry. I was groggy after the massage and I left behind a piece of sentimental jewelry. When I realized it, I called the business and was told they had it. I asked if they could mail it to me since I wasn't from the area. They refused and offered no solutions. I am beyond heartbroken. I do not recommend. read more

Had the best massage yesterday. The price is sooo reasonable Mario was wonderful Can't wait to go again. Byw Burke Williams wanted $130 for 25 minutes. I had 1 hr for $75 read more

I can't say enough good things about J.J's work. He's unlike any massage therapist I have ever experienced. His combination of hot stones and cupping paired with techniques from Thai, Sweedish, osteopathic are amazing. If you think a 2 hour massage is too long I can promise you will think differently after J.J. I highly recommend his expertise. read more

I used to love coming here and highly recommend Sam only. I made the mistake of selecting "Any" when he wasn't available, and it was a terrible experience. The therapist ignored the form, used cold stones, and massaged areas I marked as off-limits. It was anything but relaxing. When I called, the manager said the therapists operate independently, so complaints had to go to them--not helpful at all. If Sam's not available, don't bother. read more

Best massage I have had in a long time! I recommend you see Mario. He was highly experienced and gave a great combo of deep tissue, relaxation, and amazing face massage! read more

This is my go-to place and JJ is my favorite massage therapist. He's very strong and attuned, and I love how he works on the alignment and structure of my body as well as the muscles. I've gifted massages with JJ to all my family members and everyone raves about him. read more

Mario is amazing!!!! After a very stressful week, he read my body and knew exactly where to focus without being harsh! I left feeling so relaxed, healed, and ready to come back. I've already booked my next appointment! Can't wait to continue this literally therapy. Thank you Mario read more

I have been getting acupressure massage from Sam a couple times a month for the past few months to help me with some unusual tightness in my leg, muscles and feet muscles that are causing hamstring tightness and hip pain. I am a super flexible person and Sam is the first practitioner I've had who is able to actually get to the spots where my tightness is and try to alleviate the underlying cause of the tightness in the hamstring muscle. he is great and I will keep going whenever I have this issue. Prices are definitely fair by LA standards. read more

Mario is the BEST! I did a 60 minute deep tissue massage and added the CBD and hot stone treatment. I highly recommend him- he's did an amazing job and really honed in on my problem areas. He is incredibly experienced and definitely knows what he's doing! read more

Yuki is amazing! My shoulder was tight/sore and after she worked on it, it's much better!

Master JJ is amazing ,his detox method and speciality in cupping and his incredible massage is like no other ,,highly recommend him ,,,,if your in pain or discomfort he's your man. read more

Yuki is very talented and highly recommended. Good massage strokes, knows exactly where to release tension.

So needed! Called to book a last minute massage and was able to get booked within the hour. Studio was clean, zen, and rooms were very private (with doors, not just curtains like some places). Got worked on that was personalized to where my tension was and was reassured throughout the service! Would definitely recommend and writing this reminds me that I should probably book again soon :) read more

I went to this place after work and was feeling a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders and was able to be seen right away. The person at the front said they had a male available and I said okay. The man that did my massage looked quite young (definitely under 30) and that made me initially a little uncomfortable but i felt I really needed it so I just told myself he does this all day long , he's a professional just try to relax. I wrote down on my paper that I wanted relaxing and no stretching. This was the most rough massage I've ever gotten. He went so hard even when I was breathing Heavily, tensing my body and wincing. For that I take fault because he said sorry I'm going really rough and bc I'm a people pleaser and I'm a vulnerable position I did say okay I probably need it. The reason I'm writing this isn't that the massage itself was awful (but it was). But I'm writing bc of how uncomfortable the person made me feel, he was making noises, saying things like "yes" "ahh" and reaching in my opinion far too close to my breasts than he needed to. At one point he asked me to lay on my side and said "can I expose you" which was completely unnecessary and could have easily been draped so I replied "Id rather you not" and he said "you're my little challenge today". I was so uncomfortable I just wanted it to be over. At the end, he asked that I paid in Venmo which is fine I do that at nail salons so I did. Later when I got a notification that he liked the payment I noticed that the Venmo name was definitely not the name of a business so it seems he may have pocketed the entire amount. I had this massage on Thursday and today is Sunday I've had an unrelenting headache every single day since. Never getting a massage here again and tbh never allowing a male either he made me so uncomfortable. read more

This is my go to spot when I want a massage and normally, they are pretty good. My go to is Nok, but when I wanted to make an appointment for my mom and I for mothers Day, Nok was not available. So we got Helen and Crystal. My massage was not the greatest, but it wasn't terrible either. When I got out to pay for my mom and I, my mom's masseuse said something along the line of "This is your mom's first time getting thai massage. I gave her CBD Oil so there's an extra charge." In the car I asked my mom how it went and she said it was terrible. She said they didn't stand on her or stretched her. She asked for a firmer massage and that request was not met. She also told the masseuse she's gotten thai massages before, so I am not sure why the masseuse made the comment she did. When i asked her why she agreed to the CBD Oil charge, my mom stated they asked if she wanted oil and she agreed cause she thought it was the regular oil. I wasn't in the room, but I wish they would clarify that there will be an extra charge for things they offer. I would normally chalk this up to my mom getting a masseuse that didn't match her preference, but when I called to let them know about the extra charge and the lackluster massage, they responded with something along the lines of "Next time you should request a man because women can't go firmer or they can hurt themselves" I told them I get Nok and she is great with the level of firmness. So, I don't know where that response came from either. read more

I've been to the old Marina Massage location by Costco before, but went to this newer location for the first time over the weekend and was not disappointed! I was having pretty bad neck and shoulder pain all of last week so I called on Sunday and they were able to fit me in for a same day appointment at 5 pm. This new location is definitely smaller than their old location, but it's much newer/cleaner/brighter/more aesthetically pleasing. I had a 60 minute massage with Zona and she was fantastic! She was really kind and talkative at the beginning of my massage (she's clearly very passionate about her work and it was really admirable!) and she gave me one of the best massages I've ever had - hard enough to get out any knots/relieve the pain I was having, but also relaxing and gentle enough in other spots where I wasn't having any pain. Immediately after I was done, my neck and shoulder pain were gone and I felt so relaxed. It was $70 (pre-tip) for a 60 minute massage and I would say it's worth it considering the attention to detail and pain relief I felt. Would definitely come back to see Zona the next time I need a massage! read more

Mario did a great job. I had deep tissue massage and Mario found lot of knots that he worked on. It was intense, but therapeutic. Thank you Mario! read more

OMG!!! SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOPS!!! This was the BEST massage I have ever received. I had tension and tightness in my shoulders and neck and I was diagnosed with golfers elbow... Let me tell you.... Crystal did her thang... she did this combo Thai, shiatsu, etc... and worked my entire body from my fingers to my toes and when I was done, I feel like I am walking on clouds... my elbow is not even hurting right now. I know it won't work miracles but for the time being I feel like a million bucks. If you are looking for a massage Crystal and her husband are the way to go. If you need a deeper massage her husband will do it. I already made my next appointment. read more

Fantastic massage with Mario last week and I am still feeling the benefits. I highly recommend him. He knows exactly what to do to get the knots out and help you unwind. Not only is he a highly skilled therapist, he is a nice guy who makes you feel really well taken care of. Definitely go for 90 minutes and try the CBD and hot stones too for an amazing experience. read more

It can be hard finding a good masseuse but this location is great. I was able to book with Yuki and it was quick and easy. I would highly recommend booking with Yuki. Yuki was wonderful and offered quality care. Everything was very clean, relaxing and professional. I would recommended for post gym recovery or just for relaxation. read more

JJ has been the most fantastic bodyworker I have been to. I come in crooked and he massages, straightens and stretches me out as well as detoxifying my system and in the deepest and most gentle way. I recommend JJ to everyone! He also took care of my entire team at our office with chair massage and I can tell you it was transformative and such a joy for everyone. read more

They were great across the board. The place was clean, they were friendly, very proficient with their massaging, and pricing was amazing. I couldn't asked for a better experience. read more

I've been coming here for years. Every time the massages have been good. The knots have been taken out and my headaches gone. Today was the first time seeing JJ and I'm very happy. He gave a very different type of massage and focused on balancing my energy and cortisol and gave me the massage that my body wanted. This was an unconventional massage and while JJ didn't focus directly on the areas that I specified, he managed to still relive the pain in my back, neck and shoulders. I feel a lot less stressed and have a lot less pain than after a traditional massage. I believe his method is better than a traditional massage. Highly recommend!! read more

I have been in the health industry for many years. I was looking for a massage therapist that knows the body well... The first time in my life, I hurt my lower back backpacking in the Sequoias and it was pretty bad. A few weeks later I found Yuki at Marina Massage. I told her about my injury and she was so healing and knowledgeable about the injury. After the massage I felt great for the first time in weeks. I have been back almost every week since. I highly recommend Yuki she's amazing! read more

Yuki did wonders on my shoulders and back despite the fact that I neglected getting a massage for months and had built up a ton of tension from traveling, workouts and a ton of stress. Yuki used just the right amount of pressure to get my knots to release and relax my mental state. Thank you so much! read more

Great service. Easy to get in and out quickly. Takes cash. I haven't had much exposure to actually paying for a massage before but it was about 70 hr + a tip Yuki helped me get a ton of knots out of my back and shoulders Not afraid to use her elbows to get deep into my rough muscular tissue and works around your personal pain tolerance. Very nice and patient. Would strongly recommend. read more
