My 2nd time, had a great experience with Jai, exactly what I needed head to toe in 60 minutes.

If you hate feet, don't go to a Thai massage, duh. I would say this is probably not for beginner massage enthusiasts. Pricing as of March 2025 Custom Thai massage - $60 Which is the one I got. I really enjoyed it and got once a masseuse listened to what I said, I told her soft (my normal pressure is medium but I was scared). But it was too soft! So I told her a little harder. I've been having issues with my back pain since turning 30, so she actually went hard on that area. She told me she would go hard on that area because I had too many knots and soft/medium on my lower body. In terms of pressure, it was still tolerable but definitely a lot more pressure. She was able to get all of my knots out and gave me a great stretch! Normally when I get massages, although I go to a "Thai" place, I feel like it's all been watered down aka they just mean the pressure but not really the technique. This place is not that place. As you can see by the photos, there's a bar that they can hang onto. But she even sat in front of me while I was laying down to use her legs to massage my arms and shoulders (to have better reach). Honestly it's quite remarkable how much body control she has!!! anyway, I really liked the warm towels that they put on you, there were some that she used to wipe the lotion off my back during the massage and then three more towels she used after the massage, 2 she placed on my shoulders while I was sitting upright. Anyway all in all, it was a great massage. I do agree with some of the other reviewers, at the front I asked if I could leave a tip with card. They take payment upfront and when i didn't add tip, they seem surprised... but I have never added tip BEFORE receiving the service. As long as you have zelle or cash, you can tip after the service. read more

Pho-Siam Thai Spa - Waiting for my massage - Massage Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

I made an appointment for Friday, 8/27, and everything went through--until they called me back later just to cancel because they only take women. If that's your policy, why let the appointment be made in the first place without making that clear? I wasted my time calling and scheduling for nothing. Completely unprofessional. read more

I've literally never had a more uncomfortable massage, including others of this type. First, the big trip-and-almost-fall on the way in because of the unmarked platform in the dark room. A legal liability, for sure. Then, the grumpy, unfriendly masseuse did not use enough lotion so it felt as if she was removing skin. Then she used a rough towel during the head massage, which rendered it useless. It didn't feel good. During the massage she would not lighten up no matter how much I winced, grunted, and asked. I was so happy when it was over. It was something to survive, not enjoy. read more

Kind of shady practice and really useless massages. The office has parking and is clean and orderly with water, but they pressure you for tip before your massage which is obviously wrong - you pretty much HAVE to tip first if you want any respect or effort from them. (They immediately say things in Thai after you select your tip amount). Massages are not any more effective than asking someone to press on your back. They kind of just swish and swoosh on your back with their heels then stand on you. There is simply too much pressure dispersed across 2 feet standing for it to feel like anything besides increasing your blood pressure. Regardless of how good or bad you consider their massage, their business practice is completely wrong towards customers. read more

First time back in over 10 years! SO GLAD I CAME! There wasn't a muscle left knotted.

I been this place a couple times and love it. My regular masseuse was JAI. She was very good for her job. Highly recommend

The massage was good but my masseuse was weird. She would not stop burping. I almost got up and left because I was so grossed out. It got to the point where I was counting seconds in between. I kid you not, the longest she went without burping was 4 seconds. So bizarre. I ended up looking up if maybe she had a disorder I had never heard of before. read more

I've been here more times than I'd like to admit, mainly because the prices are reasonable--but unfortunately, there are several recurring issues that make the experience frustrating. Scheduling is often a mess. I've had appointments where I ended up waiting over 30 minutes because my masseuse was still with another client. Even when I asked for a different masseuse to avoid the wait, the quality was hit or miss--a couple times, the person had very rough hands/feet and the massage was genuinely unpleasant. There was also a time I booked a specific masseuse online, only to be told when I arrived that my appointment didn't count because I didn't put her name in the notes--even though I selected her during the booking process. That kind of inconsistency makes it feel like I'm just wasting money on a subpar massage. Overall, I wish the service and communication were more reliable. The masseuse's seem like they don't really like their job. It's hard to justify coming back. read more

Pat JUST gave me an amazing massage. You can tell that she's a pro, knows bodies well. I'm a Pilates instructor so I'm really flexible and in shape. The massage that I had before this one hurt me and my shoulder was in bad shape for a couple of weeks; I think it was because the masseuse thought my body could withstand all the crazy poses and stretches but it was overkill for sure. Pat gave my body exactly what it needed, the right stretching and pressure, it was intuitive. I'll always ask for her in the future every time. Thank you Pat!!!! read more

The Thai massage itself was decent and helped relieve some tension. However, I didn't love that they required prepayment and asked for a tip upfront -- it felt a bit awkward and rushed the experience. Price for the massage is very reasonable and make it's worth a try. After reading reviews I brought cash and paid tip after. read more

Pat.Is.Amazing. Thank you for the best massage ever! Clean place, comfy, relaxing sounds. Will definitely be back.

Best massage ever! I booked an hour massage and left feeling so relaxed. This place is amazing.

Best Self care at a reasonable price. The place is clean and you do walk out feeling good. read more

Pho-Siam Thai Spa - Massage room - Massage Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I wandered into their previous downtown location and asked for a table. They kindly pointed out that they are a spa, not a restaurant; but it would take me a few more years to actually have a massage. I'm glad I did. I appreciate the customization each time. I've had massages and facials and have been pleased with the services every time. read more

Review update.... I saw Cookie yesterday for my 90 minute massage and she was ALSO AMAZING!! Lynn, Sara + Cookie are my top 3 masseuse's every 3 weeks and they never disappoint! read more

Don't come here at night. They will rush through your massage and quality will be bad. I came here at night before they close, expecting a good quality massage like all the reviews say here. My massage was done by an old lady. First off, she didn't make me choose what oil to use. She just went with menthol which was okay. Her massage was all over the place and had no pattern. She would massage one side of my body and forget the other side. She would go from massaging my feet and then to my upper back. The head massage was so bad too. Not to mention she massaged my upper back 80% of the time. When she feels tired to massage other parts of my body, she goes back to my upper back. My upper back feels so beaten up. No pattern at all, it felt like my body was physically abused and played on! She was all over the place!! I asked for a medium pressure and she didn't follow through, I complained a few times that her pressure was too much she apologized but she went back to the same hard pressure! Oh and she also ended the massage 10 minutes early! I'm not even supposed to tip with this bad quality of a massage, but I gave her a tip regardless and she had the audacity to give me a face when it wasn't how much she was expecting. Tips should be based on the quality of service!! You're not entitled to a good tip if you gave bad service! read more

It's a really relaxing place! The old location was much better as far as atmosphere but you still get the same service. I always ask for April as she does wonders but they're all really experienced. read more

This is my one and only go to for massages... love my massage lady always ask for her when I go.

I love this spa! They give excellent deep tissue massages and the facility is very clean. I appreciate that they are available for last-minute massages. read more

Subpar services. Subpar facilities. If you want a real full body massage look elsewhere. Out of a 10 they are a 3 at best. There's an elderly woman who pressures patrons to tip nearly the cost of the massage. Never going back. I feel bad for the people who work here. I feel sad a loved one wasted their money to purchased a gift certificate for me. If you want to be walked on and read more

This is the most inexperienced and unprofessional massage establishment I have ever visited. If you want to try this place because of a video on TikTok let me save you time and money and don't come here. Both my friends and I got massages here and felt like all they did was just rub oil on our bodies. No massage had a specific technique it was just rubbing the entire time. When we went to go pay and tipped them they also looked at us crazy because the tip wasn't enough for them... never have I ever felt so disrespected in an establishment. The reviews about the tip are true and I'm sad my friend and I had to witness it ourselves. read more

Very good services, done a nice job, highly recommended to try Thai massage, not sure if many of you know they have moved

Came here with the gf one night after moving a bunch of boxes and felt extremely tense and sore in the neck/shoulders. After calling a few places, this was one of the few that picked up and indicated they were open, so we made an 8:15 appointment for a 90 minute massage. It's located on a very busy street in Los Feliz, and we drove around the block twice looking for street parking, before being called by the spa, who was inquiring where we were, and when I said I couldn't find parking, let me know that there was underground parking, and lo and behold, I turned in and down and there were two parking spaces specifically allocated for the spa. We stepped in and paid up front and included a 20% tip for the 90 minute massage and for the next 70-75 minutes, each experienced a really great massage. The lady who was working on me didn't speak much, but she worked the knots out of my neck and I could tell that she had a real mastery of the art and of the musculature and knew what she was doing. Time stopped and I felt both pained and relaxed, as all epic massages should be. Once we were finished, we happily and dazedly got our things and headed out when we noticed that it was 9:30 p.m., meaning that we had gotten a 70 minute massage, and not the 90-minute one that we paid for. They had mentioned that they closed at 10 p.m., and so maybe they had to start closing up and cleaning up, but if that meant they couldn't honor the 90 minute massage, then it's a little odd that they didn't mention that, or just give us a 60-minute massage. This was one of the best massages I've ever gotten, but I feel moderately ripped off by getting less than what was advertised/paid for. read more

Pho-Siam Thai Spa - Paid for 90 minutes. Received 70. - Massage Near Me - Los Angeles, California

EVE does a wonderful job with deep pressure but not too aggressive. She knows muscle anatomy and does wonders for my stiff upper body. I love that she works on scalenes, rotator cuff, and pecs as part of a neck and shoulder massage. She also uses sidelying positioning. I did massage for over a decade and can tell who is really knowledgeable. I'm gonna sleep like a bear now. read more

One of the best Thai massages on this side. I love Thai massage with a lot of stretching and stepping on the back. 120 mins is recommended, by me. read more

Ask for Eve, she knows exactly how to restore the body...tension headaches are noticeably relieved every time!

Amazing experience here. It has been YEARS since I've had a professional massage and this was a game changer for me. The perfect amount of pressure, and they will check in with you to see if you need more or less occasionally. They made me feel so comfortable throughout the massage. I was shocked at the end how much better I felt and the big bonus was they got a reallly bad knot out of my lower back/ hip that was causing my knee major pain/ runner's knee. i heard a pop and the constant immense pressure down my left side dissipated. i will be going back and telling everyone about this amazing place! read more

I've been coming here for a couple of years now, and I noticed a lot of the reviews are a bit unfair. You come here for a traditional Thai massage, like you would actually get in Thailand. The masseuses are even all from Thailand. I've had my fair share of Thai massages in Thailand; from the decor, to the setup of the rooms, to the actual massages, it's a really authentic experience to what you'll get in Thailand. Thai massage therapists are there to really work you over and beat you into submission. If you've got knots or any body soreness, they will ruthlessly attack it. Might be a little (or a lot) painful during, but you leave feeling loose. This includes using their feet and body weight to really loosen the muscles. And as with all traditional Thai massages, you lay on a cushion on the floor, rather than a table. PSA - it's a cash-only establishment and they are moving locations to Los Feliz in May 2020. Their current location has free parking which is a great perk in LA these days! read more

Very reasonable price for how good the message is. You can choose from 3 different oils. I prefer coconut. You can also ask for medium or low pressure. With low pressure there will not be any pressure by feet only by hands. My only wish is that they had dounut pillows to keep the neck straight when laying on your stomach. read more

This was my first time getting a traditional Thai massage and it was an interesting experience. The ladies step on you and massage your back with their feet and do head, shoulders, and legs with their hands. While it was refreshing, I think I benefit more from Swedish type massages. I felt the same after this massage as I did before, when I walked in. It's nice that they provide you with pants (humongo though so tie them or bring a safety pin to avoid pants-ing yourself like I did), and wipe you down with a hot towel after. I also like that they put a towel on you for modesty during the massage. Ladies make sure to take off your bra or else the lady will tell you do it when she comes back and it will be awkward. The ladies and receptionist are all super nice and accommodating. I even was encouraged to use the restroom before starting the massage. Thank you for the bottle of water after! Make sure to pay before your massage and tip your masseuse after. All cash only. read more

My buddy and I always get beat up here. He more so than I because I'd like to think I fight back. Sometimes they are pretty booked, like the last time I went over this holiday break, which can be slightly distracting as you hear people settling in. However, for the most part, it is very quiet despite being separated from your neighbors by curtains. The ladies here do not mess around when you ask for a hard massage, which is fantastic. They always find my knots and work at them for a good amount of time before moving on. I haven't found a really good Thai massage outside of Thailand yet but Pho-Siam is pretty good for the price. The only downside is that they used to accept credit cards and now they don't so there's an awkward cash exchange and then you subtly slip your lady her tip at the end. read more

Thank you Yelpers! After discovering my go-to Thai massage place closed from Covid, I was happy to have found this place. I made an appointment and received confirmation right away. They also send you a text on the day of your appointment to remind you. If you're driving here, give yourself an extra 10min to find parking. I guess they have parking for 2 spots underground according to some other review. But, there's plenty of street parking if you don't mind walking. It's very clean and has a calm vibe inside. The massage bed is on the floor and was very comfy. Paula was my masseuse and was amazing. She was friendly and actually kept the pressure at medium. Some places ask about the pressure and sadly never follows through. They end up just hurting you in the end. But Paula.... OH PAULA! Sometimes you just want to yell "DAAAAMN! THAT FEELS GOOOD!" But you don't 'cuz you don't want to be that loud moaning person down a few stalls. That was me today. My back is probably crying in happiness for finally getting a massage. Especially because Paula walked on my back and stretched my body like crazy. I'm definitely a fan & hoping for consistency. If someone else has a suggestion on who else from Pho-Siam I should ask for next time, let me know! read more

I love the massages, and loved the old location. The women here really know what they're doing and focus on exactly the problem areas. They're not just going through the motions, they're excellent at what they do. Some things I'm going to point out are about asthetics- 1. Front room needs a paint job, the scratches on the wall show lack of care, 2. They brought in all the old stuff into the new location so the chairs are ratty/toen up, oily from people/dingy. You make a lot of clients, put some new furniture in here. 3. What happened to all the magazines you used to have in the waiting room? 4. I really don't think anyone should be eating at the front desk. It's rather gross, unprofessional, and just smelly. I came out from my massage feeling great only to walk into the main room smelling like fried food. Yuck. Kind of unsanitary. Shouldn't the guy have been eating outside or in a back room? read more

They're semi friendly, but pretty basic for how these places normally treat you. Kind of pricey in my Opinion, but it's probably due to the location. Also a pain that they don't take credit card, owners are smart doing an all cash business. They also take the payment upfront, which is to some, culturally rude, but to them it's not since this is their requirement. Also handing it to the massage therapist is kind of odd, I was trying to give the cash to the lady behind the counter, but the therapist had her arm out towards me... I wouldn't be surprised if they got burned by customers in the past, so they now enforce payment upfront. They also expect you to tip. They have a % base, but I say base it off your experience. So bring cash, or use their ATM downstairs.... Again, just speaking from my wide experience spa go'er type of girl; Most places make you give a credit card to insure yourself while making an appointment, but avoiding that is actually pretty nice I guess if you wanted to get out of an appointment, but just a pain for those if you never carry cash. This place is so busy though, I'm sure they don't even care.They've been open since around the 1920's if I recall correctly... The furniture looks old and dirty in the lobby. The restrooms are super average also. Some of the areas look like the're falling apart, but what can we expect from a place that's so old ? They do however have a private parking lot, so that's a plus in LA. The music is actually really nice.... However, a big draw back for me is for those of us who cannot understand what the workers or front desk are saying... I felt awkward during my experience that my therapist kept talking to the girl behind the curtain working on someone else, and laughing. It made my experience go out the window. On top of that she had long nails and the foot massage was only comfortable or tolerable when she used her knuckles. During my whole experience I also felt like I'd have to sneeze , and it would come and go in waves. This place just seems filthy full of dust And allergens! So if you're sensitive be cautious. Also if you plan on going here make sure you make an appointment or you risk the chances of being seen. That should be expected though, this place is actually busy. I'm sure some masseuse are good here, but mine was super average unfortunately. I tried to enjoy it, but the nails were just too much I wanted to walk out and leave, but had to stay for my friends, plus I didn't want to be rude. Needless to say, try another place, or try the Thai Massage here, not the foot -massage reflexology. For me; I won't be back here. A friend raved about it so I gave it a shot. I wish I knew who a good masseuse was by name here, also apparently they don't have male masseuses just FYI... it's a different kind of experience here. read more

Happy ending at Pho Siam? No such luck! I spent several months in Thailand and there's nothing I've missed more than my traditional Thai massages. The traditional Thai massage is a combination of stretching, balms and deep tissue massage. After getting one of these rub downs, you'll feel spoiled and keep wanting to come back for more. Wanting to be pleasured and pampered, I headed over to Pho Siam. Walking in feels just like Thailand with the muted colors, wood accents and imported decorations all in a tranquil setting. Prices: Fresh massage: 30 min $30 Custom Thai: 60 min $50 Pho Siam signature: 90 min $70 Ancient healing: 120 min $100 Total Thai relaxation 150 min $125 Foot massage 30 min $30 All about the minutes 60 min $50 Pho Siam offers several different types of massages. I decided to go for the custom Thai massage. My masseuse introduced herself and escorted me to my room. This large room had dimmed lighting, mats and pillows on the floor, straps hanging from the ceiling and soft music playing. I was given these not to attractive but yet comfy oversized pants to put on. A few minutes later my masseuse returned to work her magic. The massage felt like it was over before it started. Although a lot of time was spent massaging my shoulders and back, the massage itself was disappointing. The baby oil rubdown and having my back walked on, I enjoyed more than anything. Unfortunantly, this experience just wasn't the best. Note: Rooftop pool and cabanas are only open during certain times of the year. Parking: Private parking lot and street parking available. Overall experience: Pho Siam has a great selection of services with very affordable prices. Although my massage wasn't great, I would come back again and request someone different. Maybe I'll have better luck next time or give myself excuse to go back to Bangkok. read more

Eve was top notch with her strong Thai massage skills. Plenty of elbows, feet and stretching the knots out. Would highly recommend.

It's rude to ask for more tip. Tip in all cases are OPTIONAL. Apparently the masseuse thinks a $10 tip wasn't enough so she asked me to Venmo her more. Then the receptionist girl said "another $5 or $8 dollars is good" Also please make sure your feet are callus free when massaging someone.. it hurts... read more

I had 2 facials at the same time scheduled for my friend to get her first facial, and when we arrived they said they only had one person and one of us would have to wait an hour. I called twice to make sure we can get a facial at the same time and when we got there they didn't have staff. Very disappointed read more

I thought masseuses stepping on you for a massage was only a Charlie's Angels Lucy Liu-scene thing. But, I learned 3 years ago that this was a real thing & this is exactly what the little ladies at Pho-Siam Thai Spa do. They're incredible strong and sometimes you feel like a piece of meat being tenderized, but you will FEEL FANTASTIC after. It scares me when they crack my knuckles since I'm not a knuckle cracker, but just remember to relax. For $50/hr it's an INCREDIBLE value. Every time I've called, they've had availability! I also like that you can book together to be side-by-side for a pseudo couples massage! 117/365 read more
