The staff goes by numbers and number 5 is the person I prefer to go to as he is strong, thorough, hits all the painful knots I have, and very kind. Asian massages are different from Americans. American massage places focus on technique but after you leave, few hours later your still sore as if they never really get rid of the knots and ease tensions. Here, if you can take pain they will help rid of any tensions or build up you might have on your body . You might feel sore after but my body feels really loose and good for next few days. People complaining about pain but you can always ask to them to be more gentle, why take the massage for an hour and then complain it's too hard afterwards. As for tip complaints, when I go out to eat at places and spend 150$ on a dinner or so on a good dinner you still tip 20% just for waiters to bring out food you ordered, mean while massage places put a straight hour of effort and require a lot of energy to perform the massage should get more then waiter. I tip my barber 20$ for a cut they already get paid to do to show appreciation. Its not the same as restaurant, 20% of 40$ massage is $8, how you tipping $8 for hard work vs someone pouring water and bringing out food you ordered out. If you don't got 15-20$ to tip hard working people for their work just stay home with your tense body. Absolutely recommend if you have tense shoulders, neck, back or feet pain , this is my favorite spot. * After coming here few times booking #5 and got to know the guy, some of these 1 star reviews are from competitors since he was highly recommended from previous places he worked at, stay salty.

I had just come in from California, and so I was a bit sore. I came in here, looking for a good…read moremassage, and overall I got one. They are very careful about their image. I asked if they had a shower, and she looks at me, and she goes no. Massage only. She probably thought I was there for something else. I told her no, I want a massage only. So I go into the room, stripped down to the full Monty, and she says, underwear on. OK. No big deal. Like I said, they don't want to put out the wrong message. Overall, the massage was good. The first part of the massage the lady working on my body, I didn't get her name, was talking to somebody outside the room, but that was only for a short period of time. That was a bit distracting, but once that was over, it was fantastic. It was a nice firm massage, which I've gotten to like. If she got a little bit too hard, I would let her know. One funny thing, if I'm getting a good massage, I grunt and groan quite a bit. Apparently, I was grunting and groaning a little bit too much, because she says to me, "you moaning too loud." oops! Once again, they want to protect that image....... The entire massage was on my back. She massage my scalp, my neck, my back, my legs, my arms, she used a nice lotion, and I also got the hot stones. In addition to the hot stones, I also got a hot pack against my neck, and another one on my back for a little bit. That also felt very good. I wish she would've had me flip and do my front for a little bit, but the fact that she did spend an entire hour on my back really did feel good for my back. The price was very reasonable. The hour was only $55, plus a five dollar surcharge for using my credit card. She also got a nice tip on top of that. I will probably stop in one more time before I leave Staten Island. The next time, I will ask for a half hour on my front and a half hour on my back. Thank you.

From the outside looking in, you can't even see inside, so you understand the nerves! It's not a luxury look by any means. But crazy enough I walked right in, 2 staff members immediately greeted me and one lady, maybe named Hua, saw to my 30min foot reflexology for $35. The vibes were very simple and no frills which I didn't mind. The price is directly appropriate and commiserate to the service. It felt reaaaaallly good and thorough even for 30 mins and not rushed. It Went up to the calf which was nice. She was a bit distracted at the start but apologized and quickly focused in. I got the full 30 and was quite happy. She turned up the AC too bc It was hot, and the music was delicate piano. My feet don't feel transformed the next day - I've been doing a LOT of walking and lifting. But it's not physical therapy, it's a massage. It felt great during, and they accept multiple digital payment methods in shop.

My only real complaints are the amount of time spent massaging me over the towel feeling kind of long, and that he didn't have me turn over to massage me while I was on my back. Just a note, the Yelp check in for 5% off only applies if you pay with cash, and there is no ATM on site. I came in with soooo much tension and feel awesome now. I'll definitely be back.

To my surprise, I encountered a relaxing massage. The price point is amazing and it's worth every penny. Just last weekend, I got a 60-minute massage and a 30-minute foot massage and it was everything I needed. The music is tranquil and the vibe is chill! The only two issues I have is the rooms are not private as the walls don't go to the ceiling and there is no door to the room, only a sheet. The folks that work there can be heard in the back talking among themselves, which doesn't always provide a relaxing atmosphere. Regardless, I highly recommend this place and will be back every time I am in the area!
