Decent massage. The staff were very friendly and professional, and the facility is clean. Overall, a solid experience.

Got a massage here it was decent, but they were loud. You can hear a lot of people in the background noise were talking as well as the people that massage us. They were chatting it up for a little bit. I didn't say anything because I already had a problem in the beginning because of the language barrier, which is fine but the first few minutes of the massage she forgot to put lotion. Then they kept in and out of leaving the area. As we were paying, they demanded each a $20 tip or more. Yes we were going to give a tip but when you demand a tip, it's rude. The worst part was that we couldn't really understand so it was hard to explain my experience. read more

Run... don't walk... away from this establishment. I mean it's a hot mess and that's being nice. They seem to be "training " new folks and I was lucky enough to start off with that. I am not exaggerating when I say the "massage" felt like a mosquito was hovering around my skin. After around 15 minutes another therapist noticed how terrible the experience looked and switched out. There was more anger in this individual as I felt my body being broken piece by piece. Now this therapist was better in a sense that I actually felt something, instead of nothing? I'm only leaving this review so I don't make the mistake of returning here. This location used to be called ginkgo and that was a dream of a foot massage place RIP. read more

Only massage place I will ever go to... this was hands down my best massage I've had and she listened and was attentive to how I was feeling. Clean and felt safe, a hidden gem in El Monte. 100% recommend to friends and family. read more

very good service and very good environment!!!! Definitely come back!!!!! Best massage I have ever had in Los Angeles! read more

A pretty good place ! Was searching for a massage place during covid times and lord knows I'm in desperate need of a massage. Tense knots everywhere. I randomly found this place via Yelping and I had chosen this for its seemingly spacious arrangement and covid precautions. When I got there, it was late afternoon on a Sunday - so not too busy at all, with adequate spacing as pictures show. I loved that it was private, non bustling, and I got to have a private room. On top of that, my masseuse always checked to see if I was OK periodically. Although she's not my regular and doesn't know my kinks and personality yet in friction and areas, she did a great enough job in which I was left feeling pretty satisfied leaving. I would come back, and would feel pretty safe doing so. Thanks for the massage, and on my way back saw some stray kitties. Cute ! read more

Spend your money elsewhere. Relatively cheap... but not worth the aches and pain. Came here a few days ago just leaving with haunting rashes and feeling as if I need to go to a chiropractor. I do not believe they use quality lotion.. probably something off wish dot com. They are constantly going back and forth attending the needs of other people, rather than their own customers who are laying awkwardly right in front of them. Concluding this shameful review, I unfortunately have to provide...while paying she had the most ungracious look on her face asking "how much tip". After saying "20" she walked away with such a temper I should have said responded with.. "next time, massage anywhere else..not in-between my spine" This is properly how Mike Tyson felt when you broke his back.... spinal... read more

The massage was $50, so I told them to add $15 for the tip and charge $65 to my card, and they said there was a $2 charge to use the card.　I told them to charge $67. They charged me $82, and after much wrangling, I got $10 back in cash, but it was still $72.　I went there to relax my body, but my blood pressure went up.　I will never go there again. read more

This place is NOT closed. I just got a massage here today and I told the owner that yelpers have reported this location is closed and she has no idea why. But it's not closed! read more

Wish I could give this place 0 stars, the ladies at the massage place were super rude. Went last night with a friend and paid up front 40$ which was an hour of full body massage. Once we were done they waited for us while we changed they were up in the front desk asking for a tip. Once me and my friend tipped one of the ladies 20$ the manager said it wasn't enough. Never coming here ever again. And I don't recommend coming here. We pay up front for a service and they ask for more? It doesn't make sense. Don't even waste your time coming here. read more

I fell asleep!!!! That's how good this place was! Mind you I only had the foot and head massage but it was heavenly

Love this little place but so sad to see that the prices has increased by almost 50%. You use to be able to get a decent foot massage for $20 but now it's $30. And all other prices has been increased by at least $10. I understand that covid must've made times tough but sad to see that most likely the $20 massages are history. Aside from the price, they did renovate a bit. They added more curtains for the open room so you can still get tons of privacy which i really enjoyed. I'm currently 9 months pregnant and the masseuse was able to accommodate my back massage by me laying on my side and made sure I was comfortable. The ambiance is perfect with soothing music and dim lighting. The only thing I wish was different is paying at the end of my massage so I know how much I want to tip depending on how it went. You can pay cash or credit! I would still come back but might try to find other $20 massage places first read more

This is my favorite place to visit or a foot massage! I think I've gotten a massage from every one of their masseuses/masseurs and there wasn't a session I didn't like. I usually get their $20/hr foot massage, though once I decided to treat myself to their 90 min foot ($35) which was HEAVENLY! I'm for sure gonna get that again! Ahhh can't wait to go back! read more

Totally lacking in professionalism! I've been getting massages for a good 15+ years and I've never had a masseuse take client calls in the middle of a session. She took a total of 3 calls and didn't ask if I'm okay with that kind of disruption. At least she could've acknowledged the matter and I'd have been more understanding, but she didn't grant me any of that. I'm willing to overlook bedside manners, which she didn't have but this is beyond that. read more

Decent massage for the price you pay. If you check in, you get a free tea strainer! It's so cute! Overall it was a decent massage. They actually have you take off your shirt and bra to do the massage and the massage is sterotypical of these asian places. Was it the best one of it's kind? No, but it's the second best I had! The best one was in Pomona. I think the pricing was on point for what you get and they do a deep enough massage to warrant the low price. I will come again for sure, and actually I think it's due to come back now. I would make sure to call first to see if they have space available instead of showing up. read more

The owner Tony was awesome. I walked in said I would like this massage, pointed to the one I wanted and was immediately taken back into a clean room. I was given these cool shorts things to put on probably for hygienic reasons but I was fine with it! Then I proceeded to get an awesome and relaxing massage. At first it wasn't as deep tissue as I wanted but as soon as I requested more pressure Tony did it! Definitely stop by this place the price and the service is worth it. Updated: One year later I return and still just as great as ever!!! Clean, relaxing, and just what I needed! Sad this isn't closer to my house in Orange County! read more

I came here with one goal, to get a kink massaged out! This is my first time doing a full body massage at an Asian place. The masseuse got it done! Loved: pressure and working through the muscle tightness. Liked: easy to appt. Dislike, small things: the damn ticking analog clock (a digital clock will solve the problem), flushing toilet and restroom fan. I was in the room next to the bathroom. It wasn't busy so the restroom wasn't used too much. The fan should be changed to a quieter one. Also, I recommend all the workers to cut their nails! I normally go to my chiropractor for a full body massage and like to splurge when it comes to massages too. The experiences there is so different and I prefer it. I wouldn't do the body again unless I had another kink to work through. I would definitely try the foot massage here next time though. Nice service! read more

The massage itself was just okay. During a massage, I'm hoping to feel really good for at least some of the time, but those moments never came. The masseuse that worked on me had his set routine, which is fine. There were several moments that actually hurt. I chalk it up to me being the last client of the night, so perhaps he was tired and looking forward to going home. There are so many positive reviews that I am willing to come back and give them another chance, most likely with a different masseuse. Everyone's body is different, and certain masseuses match better with some people than others. I'm sure this masseuse does wonders for others. The cleanliness and interior are five star quality. This is one of the cleaner and nicer on the inside places I have been to. Don't forget to use the yelp checkin for ten percent off your first visit. read more

This was the worse massage I ever got the lady was so rude was so adamant on paying before we got the massage she was on the phone taking loud as she was massaging me they left me there for 5 mins to go talk to another lady then come back and say oh so sorry so sorry and do it again then when it was done she was upset I didn't want to tip she said I need to tip never again all these Asians spots are a scam once in a blue moon you get a good one pass on this place read more

This is my go to massage place, they never disappoint! Some of them speak broken English but at least they try their best to still satisfy their customers. ENDURE THE PAINNNNNN!! CRYING IN THE INSIDE DYING ON THE OUTSIDE But dying in like a good way because you'll feel better the day after, trust :) read more

I can't tell you' how much I LOVE this place. I have been here easily at least 15 times. Great staff- I've loved every person I had gotten. The prices are ridiculously affordable and they ask how it's going throughout so it's never uncomfortable. Only down side is, customers who walk in that talk soo loud. It's like dang, shut up haha. The owner next door, the fruit shop is a jerk if you park in there spot, even when they are closed. Highly recommend this place! read more

I have a lot less money in my wallet there, and the cashier tried to give me short change. And the technician does not massage well, very very bad experience! Never go there any more!!!!!!! read more

This is the best store I've ever been to,they are very responsible and doing a great job. I'm so happy got a very good experience here .I'll be back and bring my friends with me together . read more

I got the 70 minute combo massage for $35 and my cousin did the massage + cupping combo for $60. My massage was pretty decent, aside from the beginning part when my masseuse kept talking loudly to other employees in chinese and then she got up in the middle of my massage and went to the bathroom without saying anything to me. So I was just laying there for 5 minutes kind of puzzled. My cousin on the other hand said her massage was amaaazing, which left me kind of jealous. Although my experience was not amazing, it was definitely worth the price, normally a personal massage therapist will charge about $1/minute, so I felt like I got my money's worth. Also, I love my little cactus tea filter (free with yelp check in!) read more

Came in for the pain relief, due to lower back pain and my Chiro couldn't see me for another couple days . SOO worth it . I got an hour massage. Really focused on my lower back along with hamstrings and arms. The place is very clean and very professional.

I had started going to Gingko for foot massage when I was pregnant in my third trimester with my youngest. After all the traveling and red-eye flights I was doing for work, I got really painful sciatica along my lower back and back of my leg. Although they don't specialize in pregnancy massages, I went there for the foot massages to relieve the tension in my neck, shoulders, feet and along my legs. It was very relaxing. I continued going here and there the past few years and really like that their massage therapists are all very consistent. They offer a bottle of water after you are done--an entire bottle! Pre-covid, my husband and I shared a frequency card (buy 10 get 1 free) and we had 2 remaining ones after Covid, but Tony the owner was still very nice about it and allowed us to finish redeeming it. He did mention that after Covid, the prices have increased, which is understandable. For the $20 1 hour foot massage I would normally get, I believe it is now $30. I went one time this past summer during Covid and felt very safe. It just felt a little uncomfortable when I was wearing a mask facing down in the bed because it was hard to breathe. I hope Covid ends soon so they'll be able to open up soon! read more

I called for an appointment and was told I could come right away if I wanted to. I did. It was great. I told my masseuse that I was having pain in my neck and left shoulder, so she was able to focus on that area, which was awesome. I loved the hot stones, it felt so good. I will definitely be back. read more

Pros: Very good hard pressure massage. Cons: Only thing missing that me & my husband was looking for is the tiger balm or at least essential oil. We wanted to smell something good. Sad that they only use oil. No smell. They don't offer hot tea or cracker afterwards. But for the price its okay. If they have the tiger balm or something similar, we would keep coming back. read more

Ive been looking around which massage place i want to go regularly closed by coz the massage place I usually go is so far and traffic is always been a B. Anyway, after reading a bunch of reviews online, finding negative reviews about the masseuse waiting/asking for big $ for tip, i finally found Kevin!!!! Great masseuse, never wait for his tip, and most likely, they speak English. From now on, this is the massage place i will keep on coming back. read more

Had an amazing massage from Tony! He applied the perfect amount of pressure and took out all the aches and pains. Will definitely will be coming back when in the area! read more

**Overdue review** After a long day of traveling around the city, I'm glad I chose this place for a massage! I called in and requested to be massaged on the last hour of their closing and they happily added me into their time slot. Upon walking in, I already felt so calm! I was greeted very softly and the massage parlor is dimmed and quiet. The kind lady instructed me into a private room and handed me an outlined chart of a human body. She asked me to mark down on where I wanted the most focused on and my masseuse will see to it. I was so pleased with their service!! +Great massage! Some of the rub routine did hurt but I felt SO much better afterwards. +Clean and spacious. +Super accommodating and professional staff. +VERY AFFORDABLE! ($35/hr +tip) I had an amazing experience here and I hope to return back whenever I travel down south! :^) **First timers should check-in on Yelp for 10% off** read more

We came here during Lunar New Year and I was surprised to see it was open. We quickly got situated. The prices were very very detailed which made me wary since things that were normally included like a back rub or maybe some extra calf work was noted as an extra charge, so I was hesitant to ask for anything that deviated from what they were doing, like could they please spend more time on the neck, etc, which I felt comfortable asking in any other establishment. The massage was standard, like most foot massage places, but they left me with my feet awkwardly hanging down half sitting half laying down, which made me very uncomfortable. As we got into the massage, people kept on coming and asking for appointments and time, our masseuse kept stopping and answering, super distracted, and it got loud and uncomfortable. I've been to other places before where there isn't a separation but it was very loud even though we were in the farthest corner. They had a lot of Western clients because they were so close to a hotel so I understood why the pricing was so detailed, but it was so not of the norm, it made me uncomfortable. I appreciated that they were friendly and clean, but I don't think I would come back. They have a stamp card and you can give them your phone number to keep track as well. read more

First time here! Tony is AMAZING. Some people seriously have a gift for this and he really does. Sometimes massage therapists force the deep tissue work, they don't ease into it, and your muscles overreact and become tense. He totally eases your muscles into it and finds all the most painfully tight and tender spots and gives them so much thoughtful attention. So awesome. Thanks to everyone on Yelp who kept referring Tony! Lucky for me, this place is close to home. Coming back again for sure. read more

A bit disappointing considering the high ratings here. This place is run down and def not as pictured. I was uncomfortable because I wasn't sure how clean and sanitary the seats were. Everything is old. I got the combo massage. Foot massage was good, but the body could have been better; just felt rushed. I will not come back here. read more

I came here all the time, owner is a very nice gentlemen, his daughter even nicer! they are professional, not like others Chinese foot massage place,n workers will talked.. talked.. or may be kind of rude? hehe.. here they are very thoughtful to the customers, they will try their best to make the place quite, even they need to talk, they will wispier..keep it quiet, they know customers want peace of quite and relax here. I always fall asleep here, foot massage only $20, consider very cheap! i can called them around 8:30pm, he still say just come! never let me wait, which save me a lot of time, I usually pay the worker $10 tips. other Chinese foot massage place sometime so bad I will only give $5, but this place deserve $10, even more if u don't mind your pocket ! :) Try it, you will love this place! read more

Ocean Health Care - Very nice place! - Acupuncture Near Me - El Monte, California

I value the work of massage workers so I gave stars for their work, but there were several things I didn't like. I paid $35 for the 70 min combo foot and back massage. The lady who massaged me started by massaging my face and I wish she had asked first. Her fingers also smelled of food and she chewed gum to mask the smell of a recently eaten dinner. The smell and the smacking sounds were unpleasant. I also wasn't asked what preferred pressure I would like and the massage pressure for my shoulders and lower back hurt until I asked her to soften her pressure. They also had a bright light on which was distracting and some of the lady's techniques were unexpected...like scratching sections of each toe... not a fan but you might like it. I think my main gripe was an overall lack of communication. Examples: not asking my pressure preference, not giving me a heads up that a super hot towel would be placed on my back all of a sudden, not mentioning that an eye mask with a warming sensation would be placed on my face, not sharing how to wear the garment they give for the back massage or which items of clothing needed to come off, etc. The pluses are that they are nice/friendly, took reservations over the phone, were available and ready to do a massage, and gave a 10% discount when you check in on yelp. I'm not sure I will return but it was still a nice massage. I wish it was not lacking in the relaxing environment and communication areas. read more

They were super nice and accommodating. I went with my sister last minute because we both really needed a massage. They took us in last minute for a 90 minute massage. They took their time to relax our muscles - we were in there for an extra half hour because we were both super tense. We didn't even realize we overstayed until we both got in the car to head home. I could immediately feel the difference in my posture after one session with them. I wish we lived in Cali just so I could visit this place more often. It's a must try here! read more
