The foot reflexology was so relaxing! Just what I needed after a day of walking around the city.

This is the best place . Very clean and friendly Helen is the best and it is very relaxing read more

massage was alright i got a half hour one. they charged $32 then asked cash or card so I said cash to be nice so they don't get hit with fees then the lady asked me how much change I want after i handed her two $20 bills. I said $3 is good. and then she actually made whining noises and said I should tip 20%. $5 is 15.6% of $32 btw. why would she even ask me how much change I want if she's gonna complain when I ask for it? very unprofessional, be prepared to tip 20% minimum or they will start whining read more

Amazing massage Lisa is the best and for the price u won't find a better deal in nyc.

Lisa is amazing! I had so many knots and she's saved me! I'll be coming back. Very affordable place too

Super surprised how awesome this massage was. From the street the space look small, but beyond the entrance is an expansive set up for massages. I went for the 75 min $60 full body massage that was advertised on their website. It was everything I needed and more. Surprises like warm towels on your feet after the leg:foot massage made this a must repeat. Ask for Winnie... she's small but mighty! read more

great massage!! especially with Lisa ! She is an absolute expert felt a million times better!

I initially found this place on Groupon but as with many businesses, if you call them up directly they'll offer you deals just as good if not better. I was able to get same day reservations for my sister and I. The space is quiet, clean and staff were very friendly. I had the pleasure of being paired with Lefite (hope I spelled his name right), he was AMAZING!! The pressure was just right as he tended to all my pressure points. I was beyond surprise but oh so pleased when he brought the hot stones out and incorporated them into my full body massage- boy I tell you I was in HEAAVAANNN!! I am completely sold and will definitely be coming back here. I left feeling so happy and relaxed. Thank you sooooo much!!!! read more

The sheets on the bed were dirty and had lipstick stains. I paid for 60 minute massage, the lady only gave me around a 30-40 minute massage because she kept leaving and coming back into the room. The quality of the massage itself was horrible. I already paid through Groupon but they made me pay more in the place and wouldn't let me leave without tipping and yelling at me to tip. Ridiculous. read more

Horrible. Read this please! Front desk is rude and unwelcoming. We wanted to give a tip for massage lady and gave our credit card and amou we want be charge. Administrator took a card, didn't allow us to check the screen with the payment and took more money!!!!! After we told her that we are disagree, she said that this amount she think is better for tips and that why she did that!!!! can you imagine? read more

I bought a Groupon and didn't think to look here for reviews, unfortunately. the guy (I can't call him a massage therapist) I had was totally unskilled. It was like when your kid gives you a back rub. Truly the worst massage I've ever gotten. No professional technique whatsoever. Just rub rub rub, rub rub rub. Now add oil and rub rub rub, rub rub rub. he left the room several times (wasn't always clear why) but I kept thinking "hopefully he was just the warmup and he's now bringing the actual masseur". the place itself left a lot to be desired. the "rooms" didn't have doors, just curtains. so, you heard all the noise from the hallway. All the people talking. All the walking on a very squeaky wooden floor. You also heard everything in the adjoining rooms because there were only partitions in between. Not walls that went up to the ceiling. they also demand an additional $5 when redeeming a Groupon. It was really a 1-star experience. But I'm giving a 2nd star because the guy was super courteous and I think he meant well. read more

I really wish I could love this place because it is so close to my apartment, but unfortunately the massages are mediocre, the customer service is AWFUL, and they refused to redeem my Yelp voucher to the full value. Even the front desk person admitted that I was right and her manager was wrong, as the voucher printed $75 not 75 minutes. Every time I come, I tip way above 20%. The last time I came, my foot massage was so bad that I had stop him several times. I tipped my usual 20%+, and he had the audacity to ask for more, which left a terrible taste in my mouth. Bottom line, if you are not desperate, do not come here. It is run by riff raff management with false advertisement and bad staff. read more

I use to come here all the time. But after my last experience when i took a friend it was very sad. First of all if you used groupon dont say anything until the end of your massage. Trust me your massage will be trash if you say groupon. Groupon has great prices i literally paid half off online. There is a mandatory groupon fee of $5 which is fine. But make sure you have that five dollar bill my friend gave the lady a $20 bill expecting change and the lady told us thank you. Im sorry but if i am going to give you a tip I DECIDE what your tip will be not you. The situation escalated from there read more

I went pre-covid and had an excellent massage that knocked me out several times. My body is so broken and my back is so hurt but the lady who did my knots definitely put me in another dimension and helped me out for a few weeks. I am mainly writing this review to remind cheap people that this is COVID times and just because you got a 90 minute massage for $30 doesn't mean you should tip only $6 for someone who just worked so hard on your body. It's hard work - it's labor. Have some empathy and tip these people properly - 20% for the original price. read more

Found this place on Groupon so I didn't read the reviews before I went. I disagree with all of the negative ones! Incredible 60 minute foot massage. She made my calves, heels, and bottom of my foot feel great. Very comfortable chairs, nice spa music, relaxing hot stones, not rude while paying at all read more

I was prepared for a bad experience based on reviews. I did my research on what to expect, in case I ended up on the defense. Happy to say my experience was quite the opposite. Bought a 90 minute massage on Groupon. Got a same day appointment. They charge $5 at the door (the Groupon voucher mentions this). I had Linda as my masseuse. The employees speak little english but enough to get the job done. Linda didn't talk much but she gave an intense deep tissue massage. Hot stones felt really good. Calming music mixed water fall sounds plays in the background. Best part is they massage you for the entire 90 minutes. In fact, she may have done an extra five minutes. A bang for your buck! At the end, she waited at the front for me and offered me water. I tipped her $15 (that's all the cash I had) and she did not have any negative reaction. Not the fanciest place but definitely a budget friendly massage with hardworking staff! read more

Really good massages no appointment necessary and very reasonably priced. Some therapists are better then others and you call ahead for your fave! read more

No frills place to get a cheap massage. They do a great job and accept walk ins. Wish they would maintain a more peaceful environment but most of the time it's fine read more

I am very disappointed. I have been here at least 8 times in the past year and half and while the massages were rarely 'great' they were always decent enough. On Tuesday evening I went in for a $93 massage. When I was paying I handed the masseuse 25 dollars in cash and was told to my face that the tip was not large enough. That's a very generous tip well over 25 percent for an average massage. This has never happened to me before. My generosity has never been questioned - ask the wait staff at Jane down the block. I will not be returning . read more

I asked for a deep tissue massage , but what I received was torture from a big toe and elbow, on my back and on my spine. She also went from my neck to toes in less than 60 seconds . A trained therapist knows to take time on each part of the body. That lady didn't even ask me to flip over to massage my front during the 1 hour massage which was actually 45 min. She was mad at me for not giving a large tip. Girl bye..... Dear owner, only hire people who have good technique and have the older lady who massaged me on the night of May 3rd to go back to training classes! read more

DO NOT COME HERE !! Massage was okay (too painful during some parts, even after communicating "lighter")... but when it came time to pay our total was $120 (we got a couples massage) and we tipped $25 in cash which is a tiny bit over 20% !! She then asks for $5 more in tip and when we said no sorry she gave us a dirty look !! So rude would never come back wish I took my tip back too. read more

First of all, the chairs for the foot massage were extremely uncomfortable!!! The owner kept answering the phone during the massage. Very unprofessional!!! Then a few people came in. After the massage with my friend. They wanted a $10 tip on a $42 massage!!! Tips are discretionary. The owner was rude to actually ask for more than 20%!!! We will never return!!! read more

My boyfriend got me two Groupons for a foot massage at this company. I went to the first location in Soho, and they were extremely rude about tipping once I entered and even during my massage, telling me the credit card machines don't work and I need to leave a tip. I said ok, but they continued to go on and on about it, and I felt like I was being racially profiled. I already had a stressful day, so I was excited to come to my appointment to relax and unwind. They made a big deal about it and wouldn't start my massage until they knew I was giving a tip. First of all, the tip should be optional, and they shouldn't demand money like they're money hungry and greedy and should instead include the tip in the massage fee instead of harassing you. The lady then proceeds to tell me I need to give up to a $20+ tip. I didn't feel like arguing and just ignored them and told them to please stop asking me for money and to start the massage. I really wanted to leave, but I wouldn't be able to get a refund on Groupon. The massage was better than the one I received on Bowery. Once other customers came in, the women rushed my massage to cater to them. I felt harassed and very uncomfortable. They sort of gang up on you for a tip, and it's really strange, and they come off as desperate. They proceeded to talk bad about me in their language which is extremely rude. A business shouldn't operate like this. So For the second time, I went to the Bowery location, and I was shocked. I had never seen a dirty spa before in my life. The bathroom was absolutely disgusting; the floor, sink, and the toilet were unhygienic and nasty. The soap dispenser was also filled with water. They had me sit on these chair with these nasty-looking towels that looked unsanitary. And of course they proceeded to tell me their machines didn't work and I needed cash, Venmo, or Zelle for a tip during the massageThe massage overall was just ok; it was a waste of time and money. I wouldn't be returning for the simple fact that there was horrible customer service and greedy, money-hungry employees that see you as a dollar and don't see you as a human being that go above and beyond to make your experience lovely so you could want to give a nice tip. After the massage, I tried to send money through Zelle, but it wouldn't work and he wouldn't let me leave even though it wasn't my fault. During the process, the guy kept asking me how much tip I was going to give him. Overall, the staff is very unprofessional and has poor customer service in both locations. They also need to do a deep cleaning because the condition of this location is unacceptable. I've never had this experience at any other spa however the people from this culture aren't very pleasant, respectful or kind. read more

if I could give this zero stars, I would these guys totally screwed us over we went here for my best friend's birthday and we waited 45 minutes after showing up 10 minutes early for her appointment and the owner let everyone else go ahead of us and scheduled seven appointments for the same time when they only had two people working, and after waiting that long ended up not being able to give us our massages and we had to leave. He didn't even compensate us for free massage next time or anything. This place totally sucks and I will not be going back. read more

Good location but the quality of massage is not good. I wanted to stop and go home a few times during the massage.

IF YOU ARE A FEMALE PLEASE REQUEST A FEMALE MASSEUSE. I felt EXTREMELY uncomfortable right from the ge-co when I put my sheet over my body and the man came in he lifted the sheet way too much to adjust it. He could have just moved it around a bit did not have to lift it. When he got to my lower area we went inside of my inner thighs and got WAY too close to my private area. I felt very Violated and uncomfortable. he kept getting closer and closer and I had to move the sheet to cover myself. The massage was extremely rough and uncomfortable. I still can't believe I'm that happened to me. Please don't go here if you can choose another spot just spare yourself the sexual assault and go somewhere ales. read more

I have a pretty high threshold for disappointment and I'm definitely disappointed. I got a run of the mill massage. Nothing mindblowing. Little to no pressure. From someone who had signs of active illness- coughing, continuous sniffles. And I left a 20% (TWENTY PERCENT) tip and got accosted for not leaving enough. Like excuse me?! Don't come here read more

The 1 star is because of my experience. The massage itself was a 3/5. I gave 1 star because at checkout, the masseuse tried to pressure me into giving a larger tip. I used a Groupon, but I gave her a 20% tip off ORIGINAL PRICE! She then said to me "That's it? The other lady gave me 40%" She was totally unprofessional & there wasn't anything special or spectacular about my experience that was strong enough to make me increase my rating‍ read more

Not even minimum english. They will definitely have to copy paste this into google translation, please do so and fix this issue I had. I would appreciate a refund. I've had a previous massages here. I didn't get a punch for the first - you can imagine what kind of nightmare that would be to ask -so I didn't. here is my experience: 1. When they first opened, a tall heavily made up girl, with a very short skirt was being displayed, she was very unwelcoming...so I was concerned about what kind of place this was, but that turned out to be okay. 2. A nice man told them the punishment for not allowing them to avoid tax ie using a credit card charge, would only be a dollar for me. When it came time to pay, the women insisted it be $3 3. Here is the reason why its one star. Never in my personal experience was I left face down for more than 30 min let alone an hour. There was also not enough room to breath in the dirty sock scented room face down. The hole wasn't large enough. I didn't even finish arranging myself fully, before she started flattening me. When it was over, I said wait, I didn't even flip? She said over is extra, 15 more minutes. She spoke as none of them do NO ENGLISH, and in a place involving comfort this is a requirement. She went to the desk and told the 4 women in Mandarin what I said, all 4 women waited with baited breath. I said politely, my eyes are blood shot, I am in pain, I don't feel well, I am dizzy, I need to be turned over after a half hour as I have in all previous times. She relied "oh I will tell her." ....swipes my card adding 3 dollars for using a credit card and says: YOU PUT TEEP ON CARD? They should not have charged me full price and I tipped her after they asked- being bullied by 5 Chinese women got to me I guess. This is a terrible way to do business. And they informed me this was her first time giving a massage. read more

Stopped in for a 1 hour foot massage. They ended after 50-55 min and got angry when I gave a 20% tip and demanded MORE. People in the waiting room were watching and walked out. They yelled at us in Chinese out the door as we left. Terrible service, not relaxing, go elsewhere. read more

Firstly I rarely if ever leave reviews- good or bad. Was told they honored groupon. Rate was $41.25. When I arrived they stated it would be $45 because I was paying with a card. I accepted and went back for what should have been a 60 minute massage. It ended up being 50 minutes of the worst massage of my life and I wish I was exaggerating. When I checked out, the man who gave me my massage told me it was now $46 which I pushed back on. I went to tip $10 which was generous considering how terrible it was and this massage man stared me down and said "$10? That's it?" I was dumbfounded. He then pushed me to a $12 tip and intimidated me into paying it. Really disappointed as it's not my first time coming in but I'm led to believe that because the Groupon rate was discounted, so was the service. read more

I had the worst experience of my life in a spa tonight at Pengs. After sitting me in a room for a foot massage the male massage therapist (if that's what you want to call him) came in with a mask on which was fine. He then proceeded to sneeze continuously into the mask. Clearly, he had a cold. I then asked for a mask as I was concerned. He kindly gave me one. He kept trying to tell me to get a neck massage and I told him I only wanted a foot massage. Then he started kneading my foot repetitively for five or so minutes and I told him it was hurting and could he do it a little less hard. He said ok and continued to do it hard for about a minute and then he saw a man come in and they proceeded to yell at each other back and forth while he kneaded harder and harder. At one point he yelled at the top of his voice and the other man came up to the window and screamed back. Finally, I said please stop this isn't relaxing with you screaming at each other in the middle of my foot massage. I was up in 16 minutes. He said why stop and I said you have been screaming at each other the last ten minutes and this is supposed to be a calm experience. I said don't worry I'll pay the full price but I don't want to do anymore. I got up asked him the price and he said $78 for my 16 minutes and my husbands 50 minute massage. I gave him $85 even though my experience was HORRIBLE. Then he demanded $10 more for his tip. I said you didn't do anything but yell the whole time. I just wanted to be done so I gave the extortionist $10. Then a lady came out and asked me why I didn't do an hour and I said because they were screaming and arguing and she said they weren't arguing (she wasn't in there so not sure how she knew this but anyway) I said yes they were he pointed to the other man in an aggressive way and it was not friendly. I then stopped talking, waited for my husband and left. A spa should be quiet and peaceful. You should not have to hear screaming. I will NEVER go back there and I don't recommend it to anyone. read more

I give three stars because the reflexology he provided was definitely good but I'm knocking off to stars because of the ridiculously loud facility. The employees are allowed and they allow customers to have full volume conversations. Nobody whispers in there. Also deducting a star for their deceptive pricing. the permanent price on their price board, which is not like a dry erase board, this is the prices that they had designed by our printer is cheaper than the Groupon. They offered no compensation or anyting. I will not go back read more

Cool place. Not as awful as you'd expect for a massage place in the city. It was cozy and quiet and the staff was friendly enough. It was annoying to be charged $10 for using a groupon but we enjoyed. read more

I am finally leaving a review after my 4th visit at Taiji/Peng's Bodywork (3rd at the Houston location)! I think this location is a lot more quiet than the one in Bowery and I like the masseuses that I've gotten paired with every time I've been here. They do a great job at paying attention to all the knots I have in my back and up and down my spinal cord. While I do agree that it is tad bit tacky that they ask for more tip than what they are given, every time it's happened to me, it was always done in a humorous manner and I do believe you should pay more in tip if you've used a Groupon. Took a friend from out-of-state there last time and he too had an amazing experience. Will frequent again and bring more people! :) read more

I love this place! I've really only had good experiences here. (I'm talking about the one on Houston in NYC.) Great massages, good service, and the price is right. read more

Do yourself a favor and listen to the reviews -- the massage itself was great, but the experience couldn't possibly be relaxing because the entire staff was yelling at each other the whole time. There are no doors, only curtains, so you hear just about everything, including the loud alarm that goes off every time the door opens. It wouldn't matter as much if they at least tried to stay quiet, but they had no issues shouting at each other all the way up to the front desk. There is a $5 service fee for Groupon, which is also fine, but not something that is visibility disclosed when you check out. Lastly, I gave a 30% tip towards the Groupon price, which was about 18% towards the regular price, and the lady tried to fight me to give her $5 more. It was really unprofessional and put a bad taste in my mouth. Spend slightly more for a better experience, this isn't worth it! read more

This facility needs a bilingual staff. Even by using Google translate, I could not get a stronger foot rub. Not worth the $38 dollars!

Great! Nice and clean and professional. Ask for Tina, she did an excellent job. Will go back.
