Deeply Disappointing and Racist Experience…read more Today, my niece, my friend, and I spent the afternoon in Chinatown. We stopped by Tianxiang to see the Chinese doctor for some herbs, grabbed a few plants, and enjoyed some slippery shrimp from Yangzhou. Afterward, my friend--who's been under a lot of stress--suggested we get massages. We found JJ's Massage and decided to give it a try. Before going, we called to ask if they took credit cards since many similar places only take cash. They said yes. When we arrived, we were greeted politely and taken to our rooms--my niece and I shared one, and my friend was in another. But here's where everything went wrong. After we had disrobed and were lying down, the lady came back and asked me to pay. I was confused because, at every other massage establishment I've been to, payment is handled before or after, never while you're half undressed. She insisted, so I had to turn on my flashlight in the dark room, find my card, and hand it over. Then, while I was still disrobed, a man entered the room asking if the card should be charged for two people or three. This was extremely inappropriate and uncomfortable. If this was supposedly their policy, it should have been explained before we undressed--not after. I couldn't relax for the rest of the massage. I know for a fact that their standard policy isn't to demand payment mid-session. I truly believe the only reason they did this was because we were Black. Afterward, when I shared my concern, the man denied any wrongdoing and claimed it was "the policy for everyone." Then he pulled out a handwritten note that said "20% tip mandatory." I had already planned to tip, but the attempt to pressure and assume that we wouldn't was insulting. Even my niece, who is younger, asked me afterward, "Are these people racist?"--and I had to tell her yes. As an educator of over 20 years, I teach students of all backgrounds equally, and I cannot stand to see discrimination modeled in front of a young person who looks up to me. This experience left us disappointed, uncomfortable, and hurt. My friend later told me she also wanted to leave mid-massage but stayed because she thought I wanted to stay. None of us enjoyed it. If you're in Chinatown looking to relax after exploring, skip this place. Save your money, your peace, and your dignity. To the owner: Please remember to treat people the way you'd want to be treated--and the way you'd want your children to be treated. Discrimination is never okay.

I had a very unpleasant experience at this massage shop…read more When I arrived, the staff asked me to show my ID. I asked why it was necessary, and they said they needed it for a form. I told them that I didn't feel comfortable sharing my personal information for privacy reasons, so I decided not to take the massage and asked for a refund. They refused to refund me, saying they couldn't do anything because I didn't sign the receipt. I called my card company to cancel the transaction, but they said the merchant must process the refund. After trying to resolve this for about two hours, the staff became rude and even told me "fuck you" and "go away." This behavior was completely unprofessional and discriminatory. I've reported the incident to my bank and the police. In the end, I didn't get my money back, I wasn't even told sorry, and I was treated like the bad guy even though I did nothing wrong. It's very unpleasant. Also, the massage here is illegal, so everyone should stop going.for sure The damn Chinese guy was using nasty discriminatory language and laughing at the customers, so I hired a lawyer and filed for legal action. I also wrote a police report.

The towel covering my face was a little too light and I was able to see the light shining through. The table is a board with a hole cut out for the face. I would totally go back!

Foot…read moremassage places are a dime a dozen in Koreatown but this place feels the cleanest and the masseuses are consistently good. Granted I usually get the women masseuses but from all the women I've tried, most have been great. They also have several rooms so you can get massaged with your friends or have a private room for yourself. The massage style is more accupressure than anything else but if you get the 1.5 hours, you get a mini deep tissue massage, cupping and a bit of hot stone at the end. This one is my fave because they work out your knots and then go even deeper with the cupping afterwards. The order is: foot massage, body massage (acupressure), oil massage on back, cupping, hot stone massage. Cupping isnt for everyone but I like a little bit of pain with my massages. Of course, they can use a lighter touch if you need. The rates are also very fair. I know that you can get an hour foot massage in the San Gabriel Valley for $15 but whenever I've gone, I end up feeling really bad for the people that work there. It's seriously a massage sweat shop and I think about how they probably came over from China and now need to work off the money they owe to the people that brought them over...isnt that called an indentured servant? Well, so I keep coming back to this place. I usually buy a 10-pack of 1-hour massages for $250 or a 10 pack of 1.5 hour massages for $450 (their normal rate is $30 for an hour or $50 for 1.5). It's a pretty good deal for what you are getting. Just a heads up: they dont speak english perfectly but it's conversational enough that they can take appointments and understand how you want your massage. Also in the 4 years that I've been going there, there have been about 3 masseuses that I've LOVED but now they are all gone so I've had to try different people and they've been pretty good but darn, I wish they would hold onto their "star" masseuses.

I needed it after catching some large bluefin tuna and fighting these fish for long periods of time just killing my back, my arms, my legs, my whole body, so coming here was the ticket. There is easy parking and is on the second floor of a strip mall. Between the unit itself is quiet enough although I agree that if there's a conversation going on in the next room, you'll be able to hear it easily. They should probably play some soft music a little bit louder perhaps or better yet bring earplugs as one reviewer suggested. I think one important thing to recognize is after looking at a bunch of the reviews there's a common theme with the manager really trying to push you to give a higher than usual tip. Since their prices are quite reasonable and essentially a dollar per minute, right a 60 minute massage for $60 and a 90 minute massage for $90 and just figure you're gonna toss in a 25 to 30% tip on top of that and that way you can get by the feisty lady at the front desk. Meaning I would come back recognizing I'll just give them a little bit more tip because it is still very competitive with other massage parlors and this one of the best massages I've gotten in the area these past few years. I'll be back and simply ready to drop another $10 or 20 in addition to the usual 15-20% tip. Thus expect to drop 25-30% and you'll be fine.
