Massages are very good (no/low-frills Asian spa-- it's not a foofy place, so go in with managed expectations as far as decor and noise-level) Where i drop stars is after the massage, when you're settling up. Their sidewalk prices reflect their cash price for services, pre-tax and pre-tip, and they'll direct you to the enormous ATM machine positioned right at the desk where you settle up to make the point that they prefer (sometimes will only accept) cash. That's not subtle, but it's fine i guess. But then when it comes to tipping, it's so interesting-- even if you volunteer a 20% tip on the credit card price, they will tell you it's not enough, will do something on a calculator behind the desk and then show you a number on the calculator that is more like 28-30% tip. If you protest and say something along the lines of "I'm so sorry, that's not correct- i teach math, i understand percents, that is not a 20% tip. What i gave you was a 20% tip. The customer decides the tip," they argue and basically play chicken with you until you give in or leave feeling like they and everyone still getting their feet rubbed behind you think that you are a down-dirty thief or something. It's like they're banking on your discomfort and post-massage brain fuzz to get a 30% tip. I watched them do this to one customer during the foot part of my last massage and then heard them do it to another customer while i was getting my back worked on during the same visit... and then, yep, they did it to me, too. I gave them what they wanted, knowing i would never, ever be back, and that i would probably stop going to their sister massage spot a few blocks away even though I've been a regular there for 18 years and really like their massages. I wasn't going to post a review about this-- that last visit where they challenged my math was actually 5 months ago, i just walked away and committed to not going there anymore-- but i overheard two young women in a restaurant talking about this happening to them today, too, and wondering how they messed up the tipping so bad. It's not you, bebes, it seems to be the business model unfortunately. It wasn't always this way, but at least since November 2025, it seems to be a common occurrence. Check the reviews- it's mentioned in several other reviews besides mine, too. It's a shame. It gives basic, nuts-and-bolts tui-na spots a bad rep. So: Stay away. Or at least go in prepared with your own enormous calculator that you can wave around back in their face to show the actual math. read more

came by as a walk in after a crazy 30k step restaurant job kinda shift - 45 min massage where I asked her to focus on my legs SAVED me. 100/10 will return - awesome massage & friendly staff - no frills just exactly what you need. re the review below mine - I was able to pay & tip all in one simple transaction with my card - no one commented on my payment (I also left a good tip obvi - & I would have been happy to use the atm - super convenient they have one!) read more

Cindy is the absolute best! I love coming here, I always have a pleasant and peaceful experience with the workers.

Obviously I was very nervous about her a massage during Covid but I have this place a shot and I had a relaxing time. They check temperature and then take you to a diff building to do the massage. It's indoors and has small multiple compartments in one room. I went with my roommate so I felt comfortable sharing room with them. You need to put your mask on throughout the process. I'd say massage was decent. Not the best I've had but good enough to go back. read more

This place was my favorite until recently when it rebranded to Golden Stone Spa. I had been to happy feet several times and was met with a tranquil and clean environment built for a relaxing experience. This is no longer the case. There was not a moment of silence or peace throughout my entire experience. I walked in and the fluorescent lights were turned on, the people who work there were on their phones, loudly chatting and arguing with each other while my friend and I sat and waited to be helped. Once our massages began, an incessant beeping started and could not be stopped for the duration of the time. Multiple workers, my masseuse Included, continued to yell with each other and play videos on their phones, before proceeding to take calls and put them in speaker. But more importantly, it was the worst massage I've ever had. Overall it is really sad to see a great neighborhood spot bite the dust. Definitely will never come back. read more

Great place. My wife and I have been going for a few Sundays in a row and we do the 1 hour foot massage side by side. Its relaxing and hits the spot(s). Great job! will be back. read more

I have been coming in for a while now and have had positive interactions until today. I went in for a 60 min back rub and 30 min leg massage. Usually it is $60 for back massage and $45 for 1 hour legs. Because I only had 30 mins on my legs, I believed the price to be $82.50. This has been the case previously so I brought exact cash change, including a 20% tip. Upon checkout, they tried to charge me $90 for 90 min (the cost of the back massage). When I did not feel comfortable with that arrangement or withdrawing additional cash, the woman pressured and questioned me about why I was not leaving more tip and began to insult my character. This felt very rude, especially because she was overcharging me for a service I did not receive. As I walked out the door, she called me a "son of a bitch." You are entitled to your feeling but this type of communication from a place of business was unacceptable. read more

I've since stopped going to this location and have opted for a better place that fulfills my needs. The last time I was there, they (management), was VERY INSISTENT on more tips, despite me tipping them well. The massages are still good and beyond convenient but I won't be coming back here. read more

I do not know why yelp did not have this spa on this site. I guess that the spa has not paid yelp for yelp to make money. But it is one of the best massage services, if not the best, around for 19 years. read more

Happy Feet is back! The best spot for a foot massage in the area. Always friendly, clean, and excellent technique. COVID made things complicated but they are definitely taking precautions and good to have them back. I just wish they had a rewards program! read more

It's quarter to nine at night, I was walking since 9am, and my feet are killing me. I see a sign saying one hour foot massage for $38, so I walked it. Did not plan for foot massage, but when in Brooklyn... It's a small, warm to hot, a little stuffy, hall in the wall. Four ladies working. All four seats are occupied. They said that in 10-15 minutes they'll have someone here for me. It took 30. Oh, well. But folks, he was AMAZING. He knew exactly where to press, from toes to lower leg. Just brilliant. I have a hunch that it's hit or miss. But it worked for me. read more

My favorite spot for foot rubs! I've been a number of times and the service is always very good. Make sure you wear pants that are easy to roll up since they usually work up to your knees. I once made the mistake of wearing skinny jeans and was uncomfortable the whole time. Only reason i'm docking a star...I got a back massage once and it was pretty bad. The face cradle wasn't comfortable & the guy was really rough. My back was sore for a few days afterward. They're clearly better at foot rubs. read more

I've been a customer here for about a year. I've probably gone for about 20 massages and I actually really like the massage style. It's consistent and good. Each person tends to massage in the same style. I'm an acupuncturist so I'm a bit picky and I really think the work is quite good. However, the last three times I have been mistreated once the therapist sees my tip. And it's so strange to me because I always tip 18-20% which is customary in the business. But I get like an attitude and they don't say thank you or even goodbye. Today I gave a $10 tip on a $55 massage and I was totally mistreated. I don't get it. Someone is giving these therapists the wrong idea about what is customary in this country. I will never go back. read more

I have been on the lookout for a reflexology spot in the neighborhood. I was hoping for one where you are fully clothed, typically there are like 10 beds set up in the room at a time and it's like $38. You start the first half hour with your feet soaking. For those looking for the same, this is not that spot. The place needs some cleaning up - the massage bed was dingy with holes and it was damp, an old beach towel is used to cover you. I honestly should have just left. My masseuse was very very sweet but the massage was so painful that I had to ask him to please stop. My back and neck have hurt since and I have some light bruising. It's pretty expensive - with tip I ended up spending $70. read more

Was treated like a thieving criminal because the woman didn't understand the idea of $38 + $5 tip = $43 and $60 - $43 = $17 change. She was really offended by a tip =/ And the massage was ok except for the parts where I felt like my toes were broken from her roughness. I literally had to wiggle my toes to make sure they could still move. I won't be returning. read more

I've lived in the slope for years and always wanted to try one of these massage places. I'm on my feet for countless hours as a pastry chef, server, and runner, so I finally gave in. BEST MASSAGE I'VE EVER HAD! I like full body massages but $25 for half an hour foot rub seems like such a better deal and hits every nerve you didn't realize was there, in a good way of course. Make sure to wear shorts or pants that you can roll up to your knee since they work their way up on your calves. I also have a bad ankle and my feet were aching so bad when I went in, but they felt like I was walking on clouds when I left. Highly recommend! It feels weird at first to have someone rub your feet while you just sit there- in a huge comfy chair nonetheless- but weird goes out the window when you realize it's a healing process. read more

Quality massage! If you are looking for quality work but no frills - this is the place for you. 1 hour is $60. A little more if you charge credit. You can pretty much go any day of the week. They have 3 massage tables separated by folding wall partitions. I highly recommend Susan. She is very nice, meticulous, and works hard to make her customers comfortable. read more

Foot massage for the ages. I have had problems with Achilles Tendinitis from running. He worked on it intensely for an hour. Feet feel like new. I will be back. read more

I went to happy feet for a 30 minute foot massage and it did not disappoint. The inside is nothing special but they have comfortable chairs and soothing music playing. The staff are professional and very kind! The massage was super relaxing and felt so great and is definitely a necessary treat yourself moment in NYC. I will definitely be returning monthly as this was a great value, 30 minutes for $28! I left feeling so relaxed. Honestly normal massages don't work enough on your feet and legs and this was exactly what i had been searching for. I would say the reviews here are lower because it wouldn't be super quiet if you were getting the full massage as the space is really small. I believe the foot massage is the best option here and I will be returning, maybe for an hour next time?! read more

I've been here a couple times. Each time I leave saying I shouldn't bother coming back because the massage is just ok, but then I forget and the convenience factor wins. This time, I will not forget it. I went to get a 30 min foot rub. They put my feet in water for 5 minutes and then massaged for 23 minutes. I told the guy and the massage lady that I still had at least 5 minutes left and he told me no, that the time my feet were in the water count towards my massage time. I told him this was ridiculous as my feet were clean coming in and I didn't need them in the water. He said he's received the complaint before and agreed with me yet the owner doesn't agree. Such poor service for a competitive service in the area! Don't bother. read more

Went back a second time and got a different person, a man this time. It really seemed to me like he didn't know how-to do reflexology at all. He mainly used the same long, fast stroke for the whole time, with a bit of kneading my feet with what felt like his knuckles. No depth or nuance at all. read more

Love this place for full body/ back as well as foot massage. Don't expect a swanky spa- but do expect a strong acupressure massage for a sweet price. read more

By far the best foot massage and deal ever! So relaxing. Great environment. You sit in an oversized recliner while you legs are resting on a huge ottoman. The lights are dim and soft music relaxing is playing. The person the works ever aspect of your foot ankles and some of your calves. $38 for one hour massage of your feet. 100% worth every second of it! read more

These guys are good. I dropped in for a 15 minute foot massage and my masseuse had strong hands and seemed sensitive to my reactions. Clean, quiet facilities, fair prices and you can tip on the card. I would come back for a back massage. read more

I really enjoyed my hour foot massage. It was a wonderful, relaxing experience. So good. I liked the price, the vibe, the location, and the people. I'll definitely return. read more

Very quiet and comfortable place. Though I really liked the man's service but I was not satisfied with woman's service. I felt like she was just rubbing or scrubbing my feet. That's why I will take the middle and give them 4 stars. read more

Went here for an hour back massage with Leo. It seems like I'm a piece of meat for the guy. He is basically throwing me around. Supposedly the masseuse should lower your legs/arms when they are done massaging, but he just let the gravity does its job. Plz, he is way to fast for a massage! You're supposed to go slow to avoid unnecessary pains from fast pacing; it was hell. Everything just made me wonder "is he even licensed?" Not coming back. read more

Ok, an impromptu stop for a quick massage turned into one of the best massages I've ever had!! Lin was amazing. I got the bamboo therapy which was like a foam roller session on steroids. Hot bamboo rods, rolling out the knots and tension. It was great after my long run this morning. I will be making this regular stop. read more

Excellent foot massage. Front area has four recliners. The staff is very quiet and professional. Very affordable. Very clean. I recommend this as a good local place for an inexpensive massage. read more

Went for a 30 minute foot massage. 10 minutes in, they put our feet in a tub full of water then left us there for another 10 minutes. Finally they started the massage and it only lasted for 15 minutes. They charged us for the full 30 minutes and told us time started when our feet touched the water. Wish we knew... read more

LOVE this place! Go all the time. its no frills, but everything is clean, staff is very polite and professional. I go ALL the time.. its becoming an addiction. read more

They know what they are doing & do it well consistently for a realistic price to make it part of your health routine. I need frequent specific deep tissue work as I have chronic back tensions from scoliosis ~ in order to keep my body healthy to work on others as I am a massage therapist myself. I always leave very satisfied & with so much relief from Happy Feet & their other location Sunshine Massage. I love this new location, it's clean, simple, zen & you leave feeling SO MUCH better!! read more
