Oi is the owner and one of the massage therapists at Marina Thai Massage - she is absolutely WONDERFUL and I highly recommend her and her massage services!! I got the standard, traditional Thai massage for 60 minutes and it was incredible. You take off your shoes outside and change into a set of loose clothes inside. As soon as I went inside I could tell that it was going to be an amazing experience! The whole salon smells nice and minty like tiger balm in the most soothing way, and you get your massage in one of the individual rooms / stalls! My bus was running late for about 10 minutes and I called ahead to let them know - Oi was so accommodating and understanding. I appreciate it so much! Bring cash to tip and ask for Oi! I felt like a whole new person after my session it was wonderful! read more

I've come here many times, and had most of the staff. Had Da today, and she was great. Very strong even though I requested medium pressure. Very sore from running SF Marathon yesterday, but after 90-min of blissful "torture" I feel so much better after and can move around better. Soreness is gone! read more

This is my favorite spot. I've been coming here for years. I always come here when I've slept wrong or my shoulders/back are super tense. Clean space. Very professional. You can tell them to adjust their pressure too. I usually book my appts online. read more

Great ambiance and great Thai massage at the end of their day. I don't recall the name of the woman who massaged me, but she was very personable and we had a great chat on my way out. read more

I've been here multiple times. I love their online booking system which makes it easy and I noticed that you can usually find a last min same day appt. It's definitely a no frills place. Don't think it's the most cleanness but if I'm looking to get my knots out then Da does an amazing job going deep and strong! Make sure you request Swedish if you want them go deep since their regular Thai is more focus on using their feet and stretching, so it'll be more medium pressure. If Da is not available, then Oi is a good second. I had Danny once and it wasn't a good experience. His technique was not good and felt like a cheap massage. I remembered I stopped the massage after 15 mins and he tried to charged me for the full massage which is pretty unacceptable. Because of that experience I've been coming back less frequent. read more

This place is really, but really good for massages, I highly recommend it. I have been their client for about 2 years, and I always feel welcomed by everyone, from the receptionist to the massage therapists. My favorite one is Danny, he is so kind and down to earth. As a massage therapist myself, I am selective about who I choose to receive massage from. I loved Danny's work instantly, he is very intuitive and releases tension from muscles in my body that I was not even aware before. I always leave this place feeling like I am in heaven, back to my true self. read more

Clean. Kind. Excellent service. Flexibile schedule. I would recommend Marina Thai Massage to any.

I was exhausted from working and I had pain in my shoulder until after Thai Swedish massage session with Mr. Danny, one of my favorite Thai masseur in the city so far, he has good awareness by touching with really nice pace and rhythm. It was between deep tissue and relaxation, It was so satisfied and my pain+tightness were relieved. Here are recommendations, don't be afraid to ask him using his feet on your body if you like deep tissue massage, it's common to have Thai massage and you might feel soreness after the session but your original pain will be gone in 1-2 days so, I'd like get Thai massage after work or before my day off to have a recovery time then I feel like a brand new person. Definitely will go back to get massage with Mr. Danny again. read more

Wow I had the pleasure of experiencing Oi and she was amazing. I've had many Thai massages before and am recovering from hip surgery. Visiting town and touring San Francisco I stumbled upon this place and they fit me in same day. This has been one of the best massages I've had and she was gentle with my limitations while still working all my knots out. I had so many trouble spots and she took her time with each area. I feel so much aligned. Thank you so much, and on the way out I saw this picture she said that was her teacher. It all makes sense. Go here. Don't hesitate just do it. Your body will thank you read more

Marina Thai Massage - Owner and her teacher - Massage Near Me - San Francisco, California

Marina Thai Massage is a mini oasis and hidden gem! It's clean, covid-safe (they take their precautions and sanitizing very seriously) and the women are so friendly - tiny but VERY strong! My friend referred me to them, saying during stressful work seasons "she goes once a week". I thought she was being hyperbolic but I gave them a try. My body was aching from packing and moving heavy boxes during an apt move. I booked a 90 minute Thai Massage and got such heavenly relief that I saw them 2 more times that month! I'd go every week if I could. I prefer the 90 min Thai Massage. I tried the Thai Swedish and while I enjoyed that, I felt the most relief and nuanced technique from the full Thai massage. Seriously...stop reading this review and go book an appointment now! I cannot say enough great things about Marina Thai Massage. read more

Amazing Thai/Swedish massage! We were so sore after a long hike and we booked a massage to loosen up the muscles and boy we needed it. It helped us tremendously. they were also very friendly. read more

I had a one hour mixed Swedish/Thai session for mid-back tension. Fixed me right up! Clean, warm, friendly, easy online booking. Street parking was a little hard to find, but otherwise great. read more

I received a very good massage. The space is clean and relaxing other than the construction outside I have gotten massages several times here and have never been disappointed. Enjoy read more

First time here! (8/20/22) This place was recommended by my cousin who I came with along with my sister in law. I never had a Thai massage before let alone a combination of Thai and Swedish so I didn't know what to expect. For a first time, I enjoyed ALL of it.. it was so relaxing and the nice lady who was my therapist did a great job with the right amount of pressure, it wasn't too much or little pressure. But I did kinda wish she did more of the stretches shown in the pictures otherwise I would give it five stars. I am definitely planning to come back soon! read more

Received a massage from Danny twice. He is excellent. He has an acute ability to find tension in the body, and it's a great mix between a relaxing / deep massage. Thank you! read more

This place is a hidden gem! Never had a Thai massage before coming here and wow ! I'm very impressed! The place is very cute and clean, amazing location, and massage is incredible ! read more

After my massage, they ran one credit card, and then the young man at the desk said it did not work and asked me for a different credit card. Both of those cards had fraudulent cash advances. On the same day I cancelled my appt. the fraudulent charges occurred. Emily had been there as a massage therapist for years. She gave no notice and ran to Siam Orchid which indicates a management problem. Folks, my advice is to pay cash. Always use cash with any business when it comes to a massage parlor. read more

Highly recommend Danny. His pressure was between gentle to medium but effective and relaxing. He's a healer!

Best Massage I've Ever Had! After a fall off my bike 3 yrs. ago I've since experienced pain & stiffness in my neck/shoulder & down the left side of my body that I can't seem to get rid of despite acupuncture, PT, etc... I've tried Deep Tissue massages but never a Thai massage. After researching massage therapists in the area & reading Yelp reviews I discovered Marina Thai Massage. I booked an appointment with Mr. Johnny & I'm so glad I did. He immediately knew my painful sore spots & read my body like an expert. Clearly he's skilled at his craft! I have since gone back a few more times to Mr. Johnny & have decided to continue getting weekly massages. It's the type of pain that "feels so good". I know he's targeting my knots & am hopeful with time that my body begins to heal itself. Go try it. You will not regret it one it! Very professional & worth every penny! read more

It was really strange being walked on and definitely hurt a lot in the moment, but ultimately helped my back and some right spots that I had! read more

Had a wonderful massage, very soothing and effective, Oi made me feel welcomed and super relaxed. Will definitely be back!

I cannot say enough good about this place. First and foremost: if you've never had a Thai massage before (like me), you should definitely try it. I saw someone else's review saying they walked out of this cute and comfy place feeling like a whole new person. Usually that's just an expression, but here it's the honest truth. Do yourself and your achy body a favor and go. read more

I had scheduled two appointments at Marina Thai Massage. When we called to make an adjustment from Thai massages to Swedish massages we were told we could only have 1 Swedish massage. I said okay, cancel one appointment and we will have 1 Swedish massage. When I showed up both appointments were cancelled. The upsetting part was the staff was not apologetic, and told me it was my fault. Miscommunications happen. But customer service is critical for a business and it just doesn't exist here. read more

too much use of feet, not hands. in thailand they never walk on backs as much as they did here

I looked this place up last minute for myself and my bf. They had availability in the afternoon and we showed up on time. They took my bf back immediately but I waited another 15 minutes after it seemed they had overbooked. There was lots of talking back and forth and finally I was signaled to come back. It was really strange they asked me to take off my clothes but only gave me pants to put on. In other places I've always been given tops and bottoms. I thought maybe they forgot and would realize once they came in. They didn't. They didn't ask if I had any problem areas. They didn't ask if the pressure was ok. The gentleman came in and decided what he thought I needed and it was quite terrible. I will not be going back. I only give this place 2 stars because the bf said he experience was great. read more

This place is just fantastic. They know what they are doing and you will feel much much MUCH better after. I've been in SF for 10 years and I couldn't find a better Thai massage place other than here. read more

Amazing! I have had pain in my back, neck, and radiating down one arm, along with extremely sore muscles due to working out and stress. I booked the 60 min. Thai massage, and I can honestly say it was probably the best massage I've ever had. It was intense, but in such a good way. I feel 100 times better already. I will definitely be back! Highly recommend. read more

Ok so I am not exaggerating when I say this place is AMAZING. The massage is deeper than any deep tissue massage I've ever had, as technically complete as an RMT would do it and with a whole body approach. I went in with a shoulder issue and Sonya (she's the AMAZING in this review!) worked away at it as well as working out other knots I didn't realize I was holding. The whole thing ended with an amazing stretch and hot tea. The space is really clean and cozy. There are only 3 areas for massages that are right beside each other and separated by drapery...so be warned you can hear everyone. For those that know Thai massage...this is the real deal. For those that want to try, this is a lovely space with great people! read more

Wow, I had no idea how screwed up my body was until visiting this salon. Had Jonny who was amazing and gave me the most intense massage I've ever had- I could hardly take the pain at certain points but It is exactly what I needed. It's amazing how much stress affects the body - I've been focusing too much on work, worry and endless travel and neglecting my physical and emotional health. Jonny reminds you how important it is to put a little time and money into your body. I think I need to go once a week- good thing the price is right and they know what they are doing! Not super fancy but who really cares when you are face down and have someone walking on your back?? read more

Just went here and was so impressed! It was very clean, they check temp and you fill out a form. I ticked that I have an injury preventing my back to be walked on and they payed attention to it and did not walk on my back! I also pointed out my problem areas which the lady spent extra time on. Will definitely come back read more

Best massages ever! Intense and medically healing massages by extremely knowledge practitioners. It's a treat and your body will thank you! read more

Incredibly nice people. I had to change my appointment 3 times and they were very understanding. Massage was great as well.

The massage was just what I expected. The pressure was very intense as I like it. The masseuse was a great listener and checked in with how the pressure was. She adjusted when I told her to use more or less. I went in with a knot on my neck. Told her this beforehand and wish she had spent a bit more time on this. She more or less focused on doing the standard protocol of a Thai massage. I would be giving her establishment a 5 if she had taken the extra time on the problem area. I will definitely try this place again. It was $65 for 60 minutes. I was able to call in the day of and schedule an appointment for several hours later. You can also book online. They offer tea or water at the end. They provide clothing for the massage. Overall I liked the service. read more

I have received 5 massages at this place- the first 4 was when it was the Thai Traditional School of Massage, and those massages were from Supron and Jit. At the time, those were the best massages I have ever received in my life and I have been receiving massage all of my life. I like deep massage- my Dad and stepmom are rolfers- and let me tell you that Johnny gave me truly the best massage I have ever had. He is brilliant and truly a master's master. Not very social, but don't be put off. $60/hr is robbery- you will end up tipping him $20 to try to make it right with him. read more

Oh. My. God. OhmyGod. Ohmy, Ohmy, Ohmy GOD. Sweet Jesus. That may have been the best $70 I've spent in my LIFE. And it certainly wins the prize for September 2014. Wow. I mean, how do you put a price tag on somebody giving you back your body? Alright so the backdrop is that I had a tough day. TOUGH day. Something that felt an awful lot like a panic attack, very little sleep. My body was completely hijacked. An hour with NJ returned my body to me. I've been to a lot of massage places. The Biltmore. The Ritz. You name it -- the best addresses. This is The Best Value of them all. The speed and accuracy with which NJ located and worked on various tight areas was incredible. Highly skillful. HUGELY skillful. I am writing this review in part to keep this business alive, because I so definitely want to come back here, and already have plans to do so. Get a massage here. I chose the Thai + Swedish variant, and it was just fine for me: plenty firm but not absolutely killer (which, after my day, I couldn't really tolerate). read more

Wow. After biking for six days from Los Angeles to San Francisco, I came here for a deep tissue massage in order to help with my recovery. Long story short is was excellent and good value ($65 + $10). As a triathlete, I stretch and roll frequently, but this was the next level. I'd come back for sure. read more

Great massage- Can't wait to go back! Pardon the pun. I was over tight and really needed some loosening up. This place was legit - firm but gentle and slowing took me from a stiff plank to a twisted pretzel- Thank you thanks you thank you!!! I'll be back! read more

Lovely place and staff. Oi's massage ranks among the best in the city ...highly recommended. The place was bit hard to find a first bug it is just behind Mel's diner on Steiner read more

They give great massages. Best Thai massage I've had in SF. Great for stiff necks or backs

Johnny or NJ are really great. You can get a massage for twice or three times the price that's not as good. They are real masters of their craft and give the pressure needed to relieve even the tightest knots. read more
