Came here through a Groupon and it was one of the best massages I've had in Chicago. It's a super clean facility, all the bed sheets and blankets they use were all clean. The mattresses had warmers which was a nice touch that we weren't lying down to a cold massage bed. This massage is definitely not for the feint of heart. I asked for the pressure to be hard for the massage because I'm always used to people using less pressure than I want, but this one was borderline painful but exactly what I needed to get the knots out of my neck and shoulders. The massage therapist used her arm like a rolling pin and relentlessly kept kneading. They also use a technique where they're doing a plank using your butt which was a little unique but still felt good. Everyone here was super polite and not really talkative. Pleasantly surprised that both our therapists were Mongolian, which connected the dots for me as to why the name of the business. I haven't met many Mongolian folks in my life. They do tend to use a lot of oil during their massage, so forewarning about that before you go. You'll leave with a little oil residue on your skin. Still a 10/10 massage and would definitely come back! These's lots of free street parking available. read more

Mongolian Massage Lab - Massage Therapy Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went here for the first time today, 1/7 @09:00. Deep tissue 90 mins w/Mark. 10 STARS I WISH I COULD RATE. I had been having a painful knot in my Left shoulder blade area. Heat therapy, Motrin, Aleve, TENS machine, stretching, Lido patches all didn't help MARK HELPED! Deep tissue with stretches. I am absolutely coming back here to him. THANK YOU MARK read more

Went for a couples massage. I found this place on Groupon. I guess Mongolian massage means HARD. They went deep! I can usually take a hard deep tissue massage but I was 5 seconds from telling him to stop! My recommendation is to not say you want a hard massage. I felt the pain from the massage for about a whole month. But overall, it was a good experience. The service was nice and the place was clean. Check it out. read more

This is hands down one of my favorite massage places. They just opened a new location on Lawrence in Chicago and let me tell you--same amazing service as the original! Lilly is my go-to, she's incredible, but honestly, everyone here is solid. The place is super clean, the front desk is friendly, and they make you feel comfortable from the second you walk in. Definitely make an appointment--they're already getting busy! Oh, and there's a few free street parking spots right in front, which is a nice bonus. read more

See all

Absolutely worth the hype and then some! I had first heard about this establishment driving past the original located in Skokie. After doing much research, these guys seemed to be the most affordable for a one hour couples massage. I was in luck waiting a few months as they recently opened their Portage Park location (it's in Jefferson Park but close enough to be considered PP) where they offered a discounted price for couples massage as their new location special. I was able to conveniently book an appointment early evening right before and snagged their first available morning appt for the next day. You can tell they are getting busier with this deal as there were two couples in the waiting area upon us leaving. So this might not always be the case for everyone. Free street parking along Lawrence if you can snag a spot! Service was friendly, the establishment was beyond clean and recently updated. It's very unassuming from the outside but it's very spacious and quite nice and modern on the inside. A major kudos from start to finish for our two therapists. They constantly checked in on us for pressure and asked how we were doing throughout. I was in love with the massage bed and the headrest was the most comfortable I had ever experienced while getting a massage. As I got more comfortable and relaxed, my face sunk in deeper with the smell of clean sheets and I pretty much fell asleep at some points. Lovely massage and was very well taken care of with awesome professionalism and great massage techniques! read more

My husband and I tried the Groupon deal for 60 min deep tissues. The place is no frills but very clean. I asked for medium pressure but that really depends on each masseuse so I was prepared for pain - which I wanted, and I got. My masseuse got on top of my back and at one point pulled my underwear down so I was in pain and ass out. I wasn't prepared for that lol. I walked out of there wobbly (from releasing toxins) but super relaxed. The Groupon deal is solid so I immediately bought us another. Although next time I'll request my undies stay in place. read more

I have been here several times and today was the best ever! I've always had consistently good massages here. It's a simply storefront. No frills. Clean and professional. The massage therapists are all good. Naby is my favorite! read more

My mom gifted me a bonding experience for my birthday this year. It came in the form of a "one hour couples deep tissue massage with hot stones & aromatherapy." The Mongolian MassageLAB excels in their craft! The experience was very professional, therapeutic, relaxing, and for just one hour of your day- all of life's stresses melt away. Highly recommend- among my Top 10 birthday gifts EVER! read more

Our couple massage was so good with Sarah and Mickey they really help with our aches and pain and relaxing and with bonus facial massage and stretching we live to come here every month its like our treat for ourselves and they are so friendly accomodating and the place is so clean and the ambiance and music make you sleep and don't want to go Home read more

Was kind of a chaotic experience. It seemed unorganized. They had us in a second room that was freezing called. The massages were mediocre and the pricing was decent. Everyone was kind. read more

This such a hole in a wall place would do you wonder. I had been looking for lymphatic drainage massage for a long while only to decide to expand my research and found this place. This is it. Regular massage (deep tissue, Swedish, etc) feels great but the effect lasts only for a few days for me but their lymphatic drainage one lasted for a good few weeks. I felt energized and the sense of vitality was back. The office is nice and clean but may not be fancy enough for some while it didn't make me feel any different about their ambience. I'd highly recommend to try out that to see if that is what you may be looking for so you will feel refreshed for a while. read more

Fantastic massage, great price, and very clean and relaxing room. Can't wait to go back!

I wish I found this place sooner. I just had the best massage of my life here with Lilly. Will be coming back and recommending to all my peeps in the neighborhood. read more

Unassuming, very clean, newly opened, I've been twice and both times were excellent. Masseuses were amazing! They really know what they're doing! The deep tissue massage was just what I needed. Took my petite mother the second time and they were firm but gentle with her & she announced she would definitely be back - as will I! Street parking and great prices too read more

Absolutely love this place! They have you tell them the amount of pressure you're looking for, and areas you want extra or minimal attention given. The prices are also great. I definitely recommend. read more

My husband and I came here for a couples massage, and the ambiance is nice, nothing too fancy. We checked in downstairs, and were led upstairs for the massage area. My husband loved his massage, and the lady working on him was able to point out some problem areas that he needed to work on in regards to massaging and stretching. The girl working on me was good, and was definitely giving deep tissue. She asked me a few times if it was too hard, but I let her know it was fine. The problem for me was when we flipped over to our backs. She was working on my shoulders, and out of nowhere gave me a hard sternal rub. Basically, pressed and rubbed VERY hard on the center bone of my chest that connects the ribs. I said "ow", and she stopped, but DAMN it really hurt! I also have costochondritis, so it caused some inflammation that didn't go away for a few days. I have NO idea why she did it, and for me that's what made it so I won't go back. I am a nurse, and rubbing someone's sternum is something you do to elicit a pain response when someone is passed out.... I can, in no way, shape, or form see the benefits of performing it during a massage. I've had lots of massages, and have never had anyone do this to me before. They took cash or card. We found street parking after looking around a little bit. Aside from the sternal rub the staff was nice. read more

Just had a massage with AAna - Very good and will definitely be back for future visits.

Very nice and relaxing couples massage. The place has clean, quiet, and comfortable rooms. Glad to have found this place. This is my second time here and both massages were great. There is parking on the busy street and the side street. I made the appointments both times through texts which were very easy to make. read more

This place is fantastic. Been twice. They're 2/2-stumbled out afterwards. Five stars, highly recommend. Going back again soon.

My family and I decided to try this place out one Saturday and were pleasantly surprised. While they didn't all speak English well, they were friendly, the facility was very clean, the price was fair and we all agreed the quality of the massage was great. We plan to go back, highly recommend trying them out. read more

One of the best massages we have had. Saw the Lab from the road on the way home and thought it may be worth looking into. Grand opening special online looked good so I surprised my wife with a couples massage for 90 mins. Checked in and after a few mins was offered a water and said hello to a few of the employees as they passed. Nice, friendly and all very professional. We were taken upstairs to our room and prepped for our massage. Warm tables quiet music, all the things you expect from a massage experience. The 99 mins was wonderfully pleasant relaxing and oh so good. My therapist checked in a few times to make sure the pressure was to my liking. Hot stones were used and an ear massage was done which I never had done before. Quite nice. I never heard a peep from my wife which worried me but afterwards she immediately said we need to book again because it was one of her favorite massages. We have a monthly membership at a massage chain, which is nice and convenient, but the level of quality at Massage Lab will make me cancel my membership and become a regular. read more

1000 stars! I have had tons of massages and Nara is sooooo great. This place is a complete gem, so clean and nice and the massage was two hours of heaven! read more

I will be raving about this place to everyone forever and ever. Best massage I've ever had. I got a two hour couples massage with my partner today. From start to finish, was top tier. Ten out of ten. Will 100% be coming back. read more

Best massage I have ever had, truly. I had Julie as my masseuse, she really has magic hands! The Groupon deal is great, got a 90 min massage for just under $90. I cannot wait to come back already! read more

Amazing service and quality and the price is unbeatable. Hot stones, stretching, concentrated work, easy parking, fantastic all around.

Since the Lawrence location has opened up, my husband and I have gotten at least 3-4 couples massages. Great pricing, consistent and amazing massages each time. I love the combination of stretching and massage. Also, when I asked for firm pressure, it was perfect. Glad this place is so close to our house since we are coming here a lot. Every masseuse we have had has been great. Also scheduling is very easy and the front desk lady is very nice. We will be coming back- thanks! read more

STAY AWAY! Intense pressure and improper cupping application by therapist resulted in OPEN SORES AND WOUNDS on my boyfriend's skin. The pain was so excruciating that we had to go to the doctor. This business REFUSED us a basic refund and just said they have "liability insurance". The cups weren't properly sanitized with can lead to a serious infection. Stay far away from this place! read more

I booked my intro hour massage - I called, they told me they would call me back with availability. They texted me (totally fine, preferred, honestly) and I was able to secure a 7pm spot. When I arrived, the door was locked, and I waited a few minutes before someone saw me through the window to let me in. Not a big deal. The space is clean and modern, and the room was quiet. The person who led me to the room instructed me to disrobe and lay face down on the table under the blanket, then the massage therapist came in. She asked what pressure I liked, and what my problem areas and then she got to work. It was intense - if you're looking for relaxation, definitely say you like light pressure. I got a deep tissue massage, basically, with hot stones, hot pack on my back, the works. I have some sore spots due to old injuries and working on a stupid computer all day, and she found them without me telling her. Overall, the massage was good - I walked out feeling much better. Next time I'll ask for a lighter pressure so I can truly relax a bit, but otherwise, it's worth the $$. The only other "complaint" was that the hookah place next store must have been going because when I walked out of the room, I got hit in the face with a very strong...herbal smell. Just jarring after a massage. I wish them nothing but the best -apparently I have very "hot" calf and foot muscles so I will likely be back for that sooner than later read more

I've been to this place several times. I used to go to Skokie too until they opened this location at Lawrence. My best massage so far was from Dianna. I had a lymphatic massage and she did an awesome job. She is definitely my go to masseuse! read more

Really great service. The place was clean with a nice atmosphere. We had an appointment for 2:30 and it was pushed back to 2:45 which I didn't mind too much. Overall the massage therapists were really great and consistently asked if the pressure was good. Definitely coming back 10/10 would recommend! read more

I had the best massage of my life here today! My masseuse was Soko and she did an incredible job. I've never felt more rejuvenated and relaxed! read more

I'm honestly so sad that my experience was nothing what I thought it was going to be. I NEVER leave reviews like this. I don't leave reviews at all but this was really disappointing. I'm unemployed and a mother so I was gifted this. I really needed to relax. What was purchased was 120 minutes of either deep tissue or Swedish massage which was mentioned in the advertisement. I've had a Swedish massage which is what I was planning on getting when I got there. Also the post mentioned that you get a complimentary add on. There were 4 options online, I never got to choice so hot stones were used on me when I never even picked that. I really wanted the aromatherapy. Anyways, long story short the massage was a deep tissue & it was the most intense massage I've ever experienced. I was never asked anything beforehand. I was just asked my name , I tried showing the man the Groupon and then I was walked to the room to take my clothes off & that's when a women came in. She asked me what strength I wanted I said medium. Not realizing what I was getting myself into. I was almost yelling but definitely uncomfortable. She said she's going to go soft & I said yes please. She never went soft. It hurt so unbelievably bad. I have bruises all over my body. I felt SO dizzy about 30 minutes after the massage. I have no idea what I experienced because I've never had a massage like that. I usually feel so good & relaxed & I sleep like a baby. Why did I wake up feeling worst then I did when I walked in there? Is that what a deep tissue massage is?! I have pain with my epidural spot is & when she got to that spot I asked her not there & she would stop but still make her way there. With all this being said I still tipped 18% of the original price. I know it's also my fault for not speaking up. I have a problem when it comes to that on every aspect of my life so maybe I could have handled it differently. Have pictures of the bruises but now sure if I can post them. read more
