I haven't had a massage in America in forever. But the kiddo wanted one despite my reluctance. I…read morelived in both China and Thailand and I used to get massages daily while living there. So I'm kind of critical when it comes to judging massages. And I just knew it wouldn't live up to my expectations. First off the price in America is just ridiculously high compared to overseas. But isn't everything I ask? An hour combo at $60 buys you 30 minutes foot massage and 30 minutes body massage without moving to a new spot or 30 minutes moving to one of those face down chairs for the body massage (more like neck and shoulder in the chair). Regardless it's almost the same since you are face down either way, the main difference being they would also work on your lower half if you didn't choose the chair. First off let's make no mistake. This a Chinese establishment. Like so many places in Houston. The guy up front is actually from the same Northern province in China as my dad is from. And the workers - all Chinese. The guy working the desk will interpret for them what the customer wants. Like one customer came in and didn't want the legs or arms massaged (focus time on back and shoulder). And I can see why as they spend a whole lot of time on those areas otherwise. I'd probably say the same thing if I were to come back one day. My masseuse was an older lady. The women's hands were unfortunately weak. It was late in the day so maybe that's why. Not much pressure whatsoever. The only time I felt something was when I was face down and she was using her elbow to grind it in my back. It hurt like crazy. A few times I encountered this same thing in Thailand and I always hated it. It is really the lazy man's method for giving a massage. They soak your feet in a bucket of warm water at the start of the massage. And they cover your eyes too with a towel. No music. And it was very quiet (they don't chit chat with each other). The guy at the front was a bit standoffish at first. He seemed to not like me taking photos and asked me why I was doing that. When I explained I'd be writing a review and wanted pics he seemed ok and actually got a whole lot nicer. So we got the $60 massage combo massage. And they went the full time which I know some places (or some visits) don't always do. Credit card usage has a $3 surcharge. My daughter's masseuse was waiting by the front door as we paid upfront which is usually what they do overseas too. I think it's usually to get a tip. But my masseuse was nowhere in sight so I actually had to have someone track her down so I could give her a tip which being in America I felt was the right thing to do. Actually overseas now the Americans have spoiled the Thais to where it's expected there too now. Sad to see a beautiful art polluted like that. We did $10 each on a $60 massage. And they seemed happy with that. I've included some videos of the inside and price chart. I think their hours are shifted back from what is posted on Yelp and Google Maps, seeing as folks were just coming in as it approached 9 pm. And the door actually says 10 am - 10 pm too.

We initially went to the Massage Spa across from this location, but no one was at the front desk…read more He was complaining about upper back shoulder pain. Which was preventing him from exercising and doing certain tasks. Thankfully we seen this place across the way and decided to walk in to learn our options. The owner Luke was very friendly. We asked for the couples massage 60 min, which is only $120, +$3 If you use a card to pay. That's a great deal to me. And I am pregnant, so I asked if they have someone who is experienced. He called his wife to come from their other location and she arrived within 15 min. And it was just what we needed! While waiting for his wife Lucy, Luke helped put pressure and did some stretches and neck work on my partner, Chinese Tuian. And immediately after my partner felt tremendous relief! I was amazed. Especially bc he thought I could just give him a massage at home to work out the kinks. This Chinese Tuian was like magic with specific pressure points. Then once his wife arrived we began our couples massage. Mine was relaxing as I'm unable to receive too much pressure at 8 months pregnant. One thing I did notice is the massage Lucy did on my face helped clear my sinuses! Now I'm able to breathe well again! My partner's massage therapist used hot stones, and stretched him, did deeper pressure points. And he too has left feeling so much better than when we walked in. We are happy we found this place. Luke told us they have two locations and have been here for 15 years. We will definitely be back and highly recommend!

I had the 30 min body and 30 min foot combo, no places can beat this price for this service. First, the best thing I love about this place is their masseuse, she always naturally recognized my pain area and gave perfect pressure on it. Other massage parlor is either too hard or too easy like scratching. Second, very clean and quiet place. The aroma is very light and music is very relaxing. Masseuses don't chat with each other or talk on the phone. Overall, I highly recommend this place!! If you don't want to get bruises and painful body after paying money for massage, come to this one :)

My other chiropractor that i usually go to is sick and i had gotten an ad from fb so i thought id check them out cuz i was in a lot of pain. Even after telling the joint i was in alot of pain the turned me down. I saw a sign for 40$ for foot and body. Since i was in alot of pain i took the 60$ full body from the guy since i knew i needed more pressure. I ended up tipping him 25 cuz i would have ended up paying 180 at a chiros office anyways. I highly recommend them for your massage needs.

Our therapist, Bella was absolutely fantastic professional, kind, and very skilled. She paid close attention to our problem areas without us even having to explain much, and her technique and pressure were perfect the entire time.

The facility is super clean, the atmosphere is peaceful, and the rooms look beautiful everything about it feels calming and high quality.

My prenatal massage was perfect! And my husband and mom loved their massages too! They also have an amazing special right now where the 90 min massage for new members is only $110 vs the normal $125.

Today I drove in from Dallas and was so looking forward to a relaxing massage, but that was not what I got today. I arrived and asked for the 1hour combo for $40. She spoke very little English. I looked around for the list of massages, but it was no longer posted. I finally heard her say 30 minutes and I pointed to my feet and my shoulders hoping she understood. She said $50 I said fine, thinking they had upped the price which was fine. Walked past the chairs, I asked if I would go there first she pointed to a room, I went in. I laid down and waited. She came in and got started. I heard a man moaning and she turned on music. I was now not relaxed! He continued his moaning and she turned up that Chinese pop music which even soft was not relaxing. Then he announced he was taking a shower....I was like, what is going on here?! I thought it was over so I tried to relax a little. Nope...now he's over there trying to speak Chinese. My girl turns up the music A THIRD TIME!! He finally leaves and a few minutes later she tells me times up after rubbing my shoulders and back, but never touched my legs or arms. Um, no. Anyway, I argued and got out my google translate. Asked if new Managment and she said yes. They no longer take cards, but have an ATM machine with a $4 fee.
