Was long overdue for a massage so I decided to try out Project Zen for the first time. The location is right off of Burlingame Avenue, there is street, metered parking all around, or a parking lot right across the street. Keep in mind if you schedule your appointment on Sundays, parking is free! I received a gift certificate for a 1 hour Deep Tissue Massage. When it comes to gift certificates, you cannot book your service through their website, so I decided to go in person to make my appointment. The lady who helped me was super friendly and made me feel welcomed. It was highly recommended from the person who gifted me the gift certificate to either book with Wendy, due to her pressure of really getting in those tight areas, or May, who was also really great. It just so happened May was available for the time that worked for me. The spa is clean, May came to greet me right on time, she asked me if I had any area's I wanted her to focus on, and checked in on me multiple times throughout the massage to confirm her pressure was ok. I never felt so relaxed and so comfortable. I would definitely recommend booking with May for your next massage in Burlingame! read more

Tried this place from ClassPass. Location is pretty nice and close to parking. Message itself was uneventful and not so memorable. I checked out the price after and don't find it worth the price... I likely won't come back again. read more

Went here for a nice end of year massage. Got deep tissue. I was greeted and check in was very smooth. I got into my room, my masseuse was nice and asked me what specific areas I wanted to be worked on. The massage was good, I had to ask multiple times for more pressure. At other spas, they usually have me fill out a form that explains the areas worked on, pressure, and any other concerns. I think that's an area of improvement for this place. Overall a good massage. read more

I have been a loyal attendee for about 2-3 years now. I loved the freedom to book online and the ease to make sure to book the specific masseuse that I liked. However to my horror my favorite masseuse left. So I specifically called the receptionist, to recommend me someone specialized in Thai Massage. But that masseuse was not what I wanted at all (not going to fault the masseuse here, as she had her own style and ethic). But I wouldn't really call it the Traditional Thai Massage I wanted. So I think I will be trying other massage places now, that has a better probability in giving me the Thai Massage I want. Note, I have tried their deep massage before and they are fine there. read more

Best massage of my life! Michelle was fantastic. Visited for business and super jealous that I can't visit more often. read more

Second time getting a 90min massage here and Chloe didn't disappoint! My first was with Bella and she was fantastic too. The front desk is also very professional and accommodating. I had a later appointment and with some checking and flexibility, they were able to move my appointment up, so I didn't have to sit somewhere for an hour. Good customer service is hard to find. So go book your appointment now! read more

My partner treated me to a 2-hour massage here. I have never had a 2 hour massage in my life and let me tell you, I will never again accept less. The attention to detail During this session was nothing short of witchcraft. My body needed it and I absolutely loved it. I fell asleep without even realizing it. How can you not when someone is pressing on all the sorest spots of your body. My biggest regret? Not getting her name because I refuse to go to anyone else in the future. Quite pricey but absolutely worth it. Can't wait to be back read more

Jason... Oh my!! I left feeling loved by a professional with a great soul and very gifted in his field... Thank you from the bottom of my heart.... My body was in an excruciating pain and discomfort coming in and left feeling lifted. Hope I'll be able to come back sometime soon!! Thank you project Zen read more

The very best massage ever and I have had a lot of body work done. Jason was strong and gentle as well as intuitive! I have heard good things about this place, but usually go to full bells and whistle spas to make the experience of massage fully immersive. I love the pre and post massage routine with hot tub, cold plunge, Himalayan Salt room and lovely healthy snacks the whole bit. In this instance, my sister desperately needed a good massage and I tagged along. I have been remiss in prioritizing the accoutrements and vast menu of offerings because the result is often paying a lot for a mediocre massage. This was just what I never knew I needed. I also usually don't talk a lot during a massage and on this case made a quick connection based on a specific parenting experience. I opened up about another vulnerable topic ( weight struggles ) because that is how comfortable and at ease i felt. I am a believer in therapy, but this was a mini therapy session/ massage in one, all in one hour and at a bargain price. Jason is so professional, experienced, polite and definitely has magic hands! Best of all, perhaps, I can walk to my massages from now on! Project Zen is convenient, has a chill vibe. Couples massage with my sister was a perfect Saturday evening ! read more

Excellent deep tissue massage! Highly recommend! Very convenient location for me, very close to home.

I've only been there twice, but Raini was amazing both times! She is the right amount of communicative (quiet so you can relax and zone out, but asks questions in the beginning and checks in periodically to make sure you're ok). She really helps me do deep breathing to work through the knots and is the right balance of deep pressure and relaxation. She is now my go-to for a massage! read more

Highly recommend Bella! Never received a massage from her before but she was wonderful and very good at addressing what my body needed most. I don't love the set up of the rooms-downstairs I've been able to hear the restaurant noise next door through the wall and upstairs doesn't have doors so you can hear noises from the hallway. Can always bring ear plugs or noise canceling head phones. read more

This is long overdue. My husband and I have been going to Project Zen on a regular basis for years. The masseuse is attentive to what we tell her and works on pain points I didn't know I had! The massages are consistent (I get Swedish and my husband gets Deep Tissue.) The staff is friendly. The place is unassuming and no frills, but very clean, calm, zen-like and gives great massages, which works great for us! read more

My boyfriend and I booked an hour Swedish escape massage. Our masseuses were Michelle and Sonya. They were fantastic!! The place is very clean and the vibes of the place are very relaxing. We will definitely be back! read more

Project Zen is pure perfection. From the moment you step inside, it's clear this space was created with care, intention, and an eye for detail. The atmosphere is calm yet inviting, the team is professional and intuitive, and every element feels designed to make you feel at ease. It's rare to find a place that balances sophistication and warmth so effortlessly, and that speaks volumes about the owner's vision. This isn't just a business; it's a reflection of someone who truly understands what people need to recharge and feel their best. Bravo. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

My wife and I have enjoyed Project Zen for many years. Our massage yesterday was great. Quiet rooms. Professional service. My wife particularly enjoyed her 30 minute foot reflexology followed by a 60 minute deep tissue massage with May. I enjoyed a very attentive 90 minute massage with Wendy. There are many choices out there for a treatment. I would urge you to try Project Zen if you have not already done so. And lastly... book 90 minutes or 120 minutes to sink into the moment. read more

Highly recommend Raini. She is very strong and quickly understood the imbalances and issues with my body. She is also a really sweet person. It was an excellent experience. read more

My stepmom and I have been twice. They are amazing massages, definitely plenty of pressure. At the end when you stand up you feel AMAZING. I'm a fan of the hot stone massage, she likes the Swedish deep tissue. We absolutely recommend them! read more

Massage therapists are quality and the space is a gem in downtown Burlingame! Cynthia gave me a great reflexology massage so much so I booked a full body massage for later that day. read more

I discovered this place thru ClassPass and so glad I did! The space is clean, modern, inviting.. and they play non-cheesy relaxing music. They use newer massage beds that are adjustable and not only that, it's heated! This makes such a difference. I always feel like a new woman whenever I come here and can't wait to go back! read more

The Swedish Massage with Bella was wonderful- she was so thorough- she knew where to work more without asking me. I guess I was more tight in places than I realized. She was strong too. The front desk she can handle men too. read more

I had a prenatal massage scheduled today and unfortunately didn't know there was a street festival also happening at the same time so Burlingame Ave and some side streets were closed which made parking SO hard to find. I called to let them know I was struggling with finding parking and would be late and they were super understanding. I ended up being 20 minutes late and they still took me and gave me the full hour. I had the best prenatal massage with Jan and the woman at the front desk was so friendly and kind. I felt really relaxed and comfortable and will definitely be going back. read more

Been going to Project Zen in Burlingame for years. Very nice atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff on the phone and at the front desk. Highly, highly recommend Jason. He's nice, has chill vibes and is skilled in the art of massage therapy. Good, firm yet smooth flowing technique with deep tissue, finding the tight trouble spots that need extra attention. It was excellent and I felt great afterwards! Thank you for the wonderful experience. read more

I realized partway through that my massage therapist was sick (sneezing and coughing). Please don't have your employees come in if they're sick! read more

Calm and clean atmosphere. Pleasant customer service. 90-minute hot stone massage was soooo good.

I have been going here for a while now and i think its the right mix of ease of appointment, parking, good service, great technique, price and that makes it easy to go back. I have gotten massages from Jira and Jenny and like both. I get the deep tissue massage which really helps ease out all the neck and back pain. They send some discounts in email if you sign up! read more

Have been coming here for years! Love all the masseuses. Keep seeing Jan for full body massages and she is beyond amazing! Highly recommend!

Solid massage. I use my ClassPass points once and a while to treat myself. Spa type massage without all the spa amenities.

If you're looking for a good deep tissue massage that sets you back up for success after an injury, run, don't walk, to see Ranai. I came in with extreme pain due to a neck issue and she just cured me better than any massage therapist ever has. I'm in no pain. Thank you Ranai! Also, the staff in general are phenomenal. I highly, highly recommend going here. read more

Made the appointment online, received confirmation email and text. When we got there at appointment time, been told by front desk staff she doesn't have my reservation. And she refused to call her manager right away to find out what's going on or provide any alternative solutions, instead she said she will have her manager to call me back later, but until now no one contacted us. Disappointed service! read more

My girlfriend lost a friend this past week and I had booked a couples massage here to hopefully take some stress off of her. After I had already told her about the massage, I got a call an hour later telling me that they were double booked and no longer had a reservation. Now I have to explain to her that we're no longer getting a massage, because everything else is booked in the area. Pretty disappointed in the appointment management here, but not as disappointed as my girlfriend after the rough week she's had... read more

My child wanted to get a massage so we decided to try Project Zen because it's close to our home and wow, we were both feeling great after. Sonja did an amazing job. I asked for a light touch and she checked in often to see if the pressure was right. I am not a small woman and was feeling a little self conscious about getting a message but Sonja was super professional. Jenny was my child's masseuse and said she did an excellent job. Highly recommend. We'll be back. read more

Great massage at a great price combined with wonderful customer service! Will definitely return.

Love thai massage at Project Zen! I used to work nearby and cane for a massage often when my shoulders were tight. I left the job and live in east bay but still come for massage occasionally! read more

I regularly go to the San Francisco Project Zen on Bay Street and I love it. Coco is my usual masseuse and she's excellent. She combines different styles of massage, Thai, Swedish and deep tissue to give the best experience possible and I always come out of there feeling so relaxed. The staff there is also great and so helpful and accommodating with appointments and suggestions. I would highly recommend Project Zen in San Francisco to anyone that needs a great massage! read more

I arrived 15 minutes before my appointment and checked in with the receptionist who was very friendly. She provided me with a form to fill out some personal information, area(s) you want your therapist to focus on, and the level of intensity from 1-5 (5 being the highest) that you prefer. I was greeted by my therapist, Minnie, who brought me up to a private room. The room was quite simple - a futon like mat, single light hanging from the ceiling, and two cloths hanging from the ceiling for the therapist to hold onto while stepping on your back. This was my first Thai massage, so I didn't know what to expect. Minnie explained that a Thai massage is a fully clothed session. She provided me with clothes to change into (a cotton t-shirt and Thai pants) and showed me how to wear the pants. I chose the intensity level 4, not sure if that was a good idea since I'm a newbie. The massage was interactive and quite intense. She kneaded my pulse points, elbowed, stepped on me, and stretched me out with different Yoga moves. Throughout the massage, Minnie asked if the pressure was okay. Of course there were times it hurt/felt uncomfortable, but I have a pretty high threshold for pain. During the session, Minnie told me I had tight spots, which is probably due to sitting in an office all day. Although it hurt, it hurt in a good way. I felt super relaxed and light afterward. At the end of the session, I was offered a cup of licorice and mint tea. The facility is clean, the staff is friendly and professional, and the location is great! If you feel like shopping or eating after your massage, there are many places to choose from. Parking isn't really an issue as there are several parking lots, street parking, or residential parking. read more

I always love coming here. I try to make it once a month. My two faves for Western Swedish massage are Jenny and Jason.

Got the Groupon deal for a 2 hour Thai massage along w/ the 1 hour foot reflexology. First off, I must say this is a steal. Without the Groupon, everything adds up to $255 before tip. Incredible value. My massage w/ Noi was relaxing. She has firm and consistent pressure. Although she asked where I wanted to focus on, she didn't really allocate additional time for said areas. Loved the head massage part. The foot massage w/ Paolo was amazing. Especially when he works on your calves. Ohhh!!! The noise level was super light. Music was good. Facility is clean. read more
