My boyfriend and I went here for a couples massage to celebrate our anniversary and boy oh boy were we satisfied. First, the guy that works at the front is so welcoming and makes you feel right at home. You'll leave your shoes at the door and he will give you some nice slippers to put on. Then he will take you back to a holding area. Shortly after we were taken to the couples room which is very nice and charming. We received the Signature Qi Massage which is 90 minutes of heaven. It is a hot stone massage with some herb rollers and foot detox patches. I didn't know what half of the stuff they were doing was but it didn't matter. And this is not your grandmother's massage. They are really going to get down in there, but you will leave feeling like a new person. And then when we left, the same nice guy at the front gave us some water and some yummy candies. They take cash and credit but prefer cash. There is an atm inside. I was more than happy with our service so I just went ahead and paid in cash (makes it easier for tipping too). For sure go! I cannot wait to go back. read more

Great massage and very very nice people. Making a reservation over the phone has proven difficult because of the language barrier, but worth it as the overall experience is spectacular. read more

I took my husband to get his first massage for our 5 year anniversary. There was no extra charge to use the couples massage room and they did a fantastic job of initiating him into the world of massage. Everyone was friendly and their prices are competitive. I would recommend Pure Qi to anyone. read more

This place rocks!! I got a 90 minute deep tissue massage because I was having chronic pain in my neck and shoulders. I told them that I have severe bruxism and they tailored the massage and worked on my jaw in addition to the standard deep tissue massage. I was always under the impression that these types of massages are supposed to be unbearably painful... You know...no pain, no gain. Not so! I was happily schooled today.. I am going to come regularly, mostly because the masseuse worked wonders but also because of how thoughtful and intentional everyone was. read more

I surprised my husband with his first massage/spa experience on Saturday after he has been complaining about pain and soreness from lifting at work. By bringing him here, I was really taking a chance because he can be a bit apprehensive when trying new things. Either way, I decided it would be a hit or miss. Well, it was definitely a hit. Our appointment was for 10:20am and we ended up getting there around 20 minutes late (a certain someone was stalling). Wen greeted us as soon as we walked in and asked us to remove our shoes. He did point out however, that we were late but I understand that he's trying to keep a schedule while running his business in a professional manner; so I didn't mind. I noticed after walking in the second door/spa entry that there were foot massage loungers adjacent to the waiting area so you should speak softly when you enter the main(front) door. Wen guided us to a beautiful room with two beds, dimmed lights, soft music and hanging draperies. I have to say, I was impressed. I didn't expect too much because I felt the price was very reasonable compared to other spas in the NYC area, but you can tell by the decor and atmosphere that they are really trying to create that relaxing zen-like experience for their clients. So, the first thing that threw my hubbs for a loop was the fact that he had to take everything off except his undies. I should have explained that: some people are nervous about being practically naked in front of strangers. The massage was very relaxing. My hubbs did complain about the deep tissue saying it was too strong and a little painful but it was his first experience; I should have given him the anti-stress instead. The anti-stress is perfect if you need some knots flattened out without the extreme pressure. The masseuses were very polite and did not speak throughout the massage. When their timers went off, they finished up, told us they were done and quietly exited the room. After getting dressed, we went back out into the lobby where Wen greeted us again, asked us about our experience and poured us some water to help cleanse and flush the body after a massage. He also gave us some suggestions for our next appointment. Overall, this was a very nice experience. I felt there could have been more focus on massaging my feet but that may have been due to time limits from us arriving late. I will definitely be returning to this spa. As far as my hubbs, I'm not too sure. Maybe he'll just get a foot massage while I try a body scrub. read more

I sent my mother to this spa. She loved it! It was her first visit to a spa and she was very nervous. She tells me she was welcomed and treated with patience and respect and warm smiles. When she got home, she was stress-free and, even though she said it was a tiny bit painful, she wants to go back again. She enjoyed the tea, she was delighted to receive a delicious cup of tea when she arrived and some more before she left. I am writing this review a year after her visit but she recently mentioned that she would like to visit again so great place indeed! read more

Great spa! My friend bought me a certificate to try out this place and I also bought one for her as well so we can go together! We both got the package and everything went out great! The place was a little small and you can hear almost everything but, everyone was so kind! At the end of the treatment when we were paying, they notice they made a mistake on my time and offer me some refund off the package because there was a miscommunication. I didn't even notice until he told me! Very very honest man! Would def recommend more people to come! Have to try the foot massage! It's the best! read more

This was such a clean and pleasant spa! The owner was very kind and welcoming. The half hour massage itself really helped my stressed back. I will definitely be returning regularly because it is really worth it here. I highly recommend Pure Qi! read more

this place is my go to for massages. Rooms are clean and relaxing with a faint scent of lavender to calm the nerves. Staff is so friendly and so skilled. I'll never go anywhere else. Totally love this place. read more

I've been here for at least 6-7 times for deep tissue massage. It's open till late and comparing to other spas it doesnt cost much. The staff is always very friendly and its a very relaxing atmosphere. Of course the quality of massage changes depending on the therapist but I'm always content and I never had problems here. I definitely recommend this place. read more

This is the first time I've reviewed on yelp but I just had to put out my support. What a wonderful place! I've never been comfortable with the whole massage thing at all but they were friendly and professional and the place was clean and nice. Definitely worth a try for anyone who loves massages or anyone who is a first timer. read more

My first time at the Spa and this place definitely exceeded my expectation. Such a zen place and the staff were professional. I recommend asking for Lucy, she was awesome!!! read more

Great prices, wonderful employees. Just make sure to call ahead if you want a weekend appointment as their time slots fill up quickly!

Best spa experience for a reasonable price. Got a package for foot reflexology, body scrub and signature massage. The foot massage was a true reflexology, simply amazing. I chose a lavender scrub and my skin felt amazing after. The massage I chose was Swedish. Just the right touch. I had two different ladies for the services. They were both amazing!!!! Definitely coming back again! read more

This place is fantastic. Tremendously cleaner than most of the rub joints along Manhattan Avenue and about the same price. Plus their masseuses really know what they are doing. read more

This place is fantastic. Super clean, beautiful and the staff is extremely friendly. June is great. She gave me a ten minute massage and it was the most relaxing experience. I also got a wax with her and went pretty well. I absolutely recommend this place. Prices are reasonable too. read more

Just got back from a fabulous massage at this place!! My husband and I went all the way from Jersey, and it was absolutely worth it! I had booked a couple's 60 min deep tissue massage, as well as a 40 min foot reflexology massage. The foot massage was good, but the deep tissue was simply out of the world! I had Angel as my masseuse, and my husband had Elaine. Both of them did an incredible job. Angel spent a lot of time on my knotty neck and shoulders, and boy did i need it!! I would definitely definitely go back to this place, and most definitely ask for Angel again! The people at the front desk were also incredibly pleasant and hospitable. We were even served some candies and hot green tea at the end. The place itself is clean, peaceful, tastefully done, and the choice of music was great too..All in all, a Sunday well spent. read more

Went to Pure Qi for a second time today. I forgot how much I enjoyed this place the first time. I have been experiencing painful knots in my calves, shoulders, and lower back. I got a 60-minute deep tissue massage. Amazing - the knots all left! I think I'm going to return soon with my husband and try a couple's facial along with a couple's mini massage since the prices are beyond reasonable. Again, the room was super clean and the staff was sensitive and very friendly. read more

AMAZING place! Clean and attractive and relaxing but not fussy. Prices can't be beat. I got the Day of Vitality package with the quick back massage and foot reflexology therapy -- that's $60 for 90 minutes of treatment! I love and constantly crave massages and this is absolutely the best price for the best service I've gotten in New York. The back massage was lovely but the reflexology bordered on life-changing -- I was so relaxed I actually fell asleep in the big comfy armchair. I have chronic foot pain and this one hour helped me more than three months of physical therapy. I've been meaning to go back for another Day of Vitality with the facial this time. Can't recommend Pure Qi enough! read more

Excellent massages! Can't beat the prices. Lovely staff. Professional and friendly. I recommend the Aroma Balance spa package: 40 min facial, 60 min body massage, 20 min hot stone foot massage...all for $105!!! Love this place. Definitely recommend it! read more

My go to spot for facials and massages. Great prices - nice friendly staff. Their 60 min anti stress massage is my favorite.

When I went in to inquire about massage packages the man in front was short with me. He acted like he was wasting his time explaining the massages and that I should know the deal already. I booked an appointment for the next morning anyway. The massage was their 90 min. Qi signature and was good, not great. The masseuse also seemed like she was tired of her job and was just going through the motions,but its a massage and it feels good so... Upon paying the bill the man in front strongly suggested that I pay cash, which I didn't have, and gave me an envelope to tip my masseuse, Alex. I payed with a card and tipped with cash. As I was counting cash to tip he watched me and made a strong suggestion of 20%. This upset me. A 20% tip is normal, but I felt like he was strong arming me. I gave around 15% as a reaction. He then opened the envelope and counted HER tip and asked me to pay more! What an uncouth douchebag! I felt like he ruined the whole point of going there. Book a back up massage somewhere else. You'll need it after dealing with that weenie! read more

I treated my boyfriend and I to a hot stone massage @Pure Qi for his birthday. When I walked in I was greeted by the most friendly people I have ever met, prior to this they called me to move my appointment up so my boyfriend and I could have a relaxing quiet massage avoiding the noisy afternoon rush. I enjoyed the atmosphere,the music and the massage was so relaxing I felt like I was in a trance I could barely walk when I got up. Afterward they gave us water and a little delicious candy. Truly the best customer service ever!! I'd definitely go back to this place. read more

Travelling from MN for work and hurt my back. Looking for a nice place to get a massage. Stumbled upon Pure Qi and based on the great reviews and proximity to my location, decided to give it a try. Was a really great experience. Very polite and professional staff and a wonderful massage-- they were great to customize pressure to my pain tolerance and worked on the areas I needed most. I would recommend this place to everyone! read more

Came here last month for an anti stress back massage and arm massage. It was wonderful. It was my first time even getting a massage and it was a great experience. Im coming back with my boyfriend for Valentines day. He's going to love it for sure. Great place read more

Location is cool, if you go to fast you could drive right by it. My husband and I got the 90 min couples massage. We both thought it was great! You are going to get a nice massage here. Only a few caveats. The walls are super thin. You can hear patrons in the other rooms negotiating their massages and you can hear the noise on the street. Not ideal but like I said the massage is good. It's clean in their. There is no ambiance but.... We got what we came there for. I'd go back read more

I'm a frequent and discerning client of spas and massage places. Pure Qi was a great experience: the place was clean, the staff was friendly and the deep tissue massage was fantastic. The masseuse definitely was experienced as I had terrible pains in my neck and she made them disappear (without making me suffer in the process). Will definitely return. read more

I went to this beautiful place to get a spa. People in this spa are very professional and very friendly.They are very polite and treat me with respect. I will go again. read more

I went to Pure Qi Regimen Spa last weekend and had a great experience. I'm almost 8 months pregnant, so I got the 40 min foot massage and it felt great. It was so good I dozed off twice. Would definitely go back! read more

They have great spa packages. A really nice, clean, quiet place, with friendly staff that never rush you. I will definitely be returning.

First of all, this is the only spa I know of open so late. More importantly, I've never had a facial so good that I walked out glowing (without any blotchiness) and could see an actual difference in my texture. The staff couldn't be sweeter either. I'm officially a regular now. read more

I got off a 16 hour flight and had horrible neck and back pains. So I came here. The staff was super professional. They gave me a decent message.I was very pleased read more

WORST/MOST PAINFUL MASSAGE EVER!! I went to this place twice since it's right around the corner from my house and both times were beyond disappointing. I first tried a 60 min deep tissue massage and found it horribly painful (the masseuse kept slamming her fists over my shoulder blades, as oppose to around their curve, and ramming over the bones in my sacrum)... For the life of me I couldn't understand why she was doing this as I have had countless massages and usually can take a deep tissue massage as deep as one can give.. Since the place was so convenient I decided to give it another try and requested a different masseuse, this time booking their "anti-stress" massage in hopes that I'd have a different experience. After 30 minutes of wincing, gritting my teeth, and asking the masseuse to "please not do ~that~" I could take it no longer, and actually got up and told her I was done. It was embarrassing for us both as I have never done such a thing, but I was seriously in so much pain. The receptionist was very apologetic, comping the agonizing 30 minutes, and offering a free massage for my next visit. I appreciated the gesture, however, respectfully declined as the masseuses clearly have no idea what they're doing. (At least the two I experienced)... If you're looking for a great massage spot in the neighborhood, I would recommend H2O Day Spa only a block away...save yourself the pain. read more

I play basketball, and after an intense game last weekend, I'd been hurting pretty bad. Unable to face yoga class for the 6th day in a row, I decided I needed a massage, but wanted to stick close to home. After consulting Yelp (whose reviews I take with a grain of salt), I conceded to give Pure Qi a shot..with none-too-high hopes. But this place surpassed my middling expectations. The man (owner?) who greeted me and ultimately gave me my massage seemed very intent on giving me exactly what I wanted and needed. He didn't try to upsell me on more expensive services and suggested I try out both the "deep tissue" and less expensive "stress reducing" style of massage before deciding. He explained everything he was doing and asked me questions, worked with me, and was all-in-all very gracious and customer-service oriented. I genuinely felt as if they wanted me to have the best that they could offer, and they genuinely wanted to relieve my ailments--which they did to the best of their abilities. He even took care (with Chinese herbal medicine, and for free) of a huge bruise last week's game left me with. Also, the place was very clean and not at all shabby or down-at-the-heels. It's a tad more expensive than your bottom-of-the-barrel, cheapest Chinese massage places, but worth the extra $10 for both the service and clean, comfortable, private decor. An excellent compromise between an expensive, luxury spa and the everyone-in-one-room basement joints in Chinatown . read more

This spa is amazing. I've been coming here for years and always loved this place-- talented and professional massage therapists, friendly and trustworthy front desk staff and owners who remember your name and always check afterward to be sure everything was good, and the very reasonable prices considering the high quality of their services. Recently, I called them late on a friday night with excruciating lower back pain (and two days before I could see a doctor) and they were able to book an appointment for me to come in right away. Within about twenty minutes of the massage, my lower back began to feel significantly better-- muscle spasms and tightness released, flexibility returned, and pain was reduced far beyond what ibuprofen had done. I would never have considered this place a "medical" type spa-- but I wanted to leave this review to say that their massage therapists, and Kelly in particular, really go above and beyond to work very carefully and technically for injuries and pain and I was so grateful to be able to get through the weekend pain-free thanks to Kelly and the wonderful staff at Pure Qi. Thank you! read more

for a skinny guy, a deep tissue massage is not necessary. it was mostly painful but i toughed it out. definitely getting swedish massages from now on. nice people, thick asian accents so it's a little hard to understand them. read more

After reading yelp and being tired of TRYING to givie my husband at home remedy back message that we not doing the trick I hopped on YELP to find a good not so expensive message palor. I looked at most in Manhattan and all the reviews said they were swanky but not good and really expensive. So I finally came across Pure Qui...5 stars across the board. So called them up & explained to them my boyfriends problem areas and the guy on the phone sugguested a deep tissue message for $70 for 1 hour. I figured thats not so bad. So I made an appointment then cancelled (because I wanted to suprise him for his birthday and he is NOT an easy person to suprise) and rescheduled it so they are very flexible with that. When we got there we were greeted by a young very polite woman told her our names and apt time. She gave him a change of slippers to wear and offered us tea or water. I wasnt getting a message but they still accomadated me by allowing me to sit in the back area in a message chair. I thought that was so sweet & considerate. It was so relaxing the ambiance, soft tai music, aroma of candles & inscence that I fell asleep. Someone came over and put my legs up & covered me with a towel. Next thing I knew my husband tapped me on my shoulder looking relaxed & rejunvinated telling me it was time to go. Pure Qui is absolutely a hidden gem in the greenpoint area...i didnt even get a message and I felt like I did. My husband said that they hit all of his problem areas and after spending lots of money trying numerous chiropractors, messauses and physical therapy practices no one does it like Pure Qui...he has been back twice since. No more at home remedies for me! read more

My husband bought me a package for my birthday. And it might have been the best massage I've ever had. I got a body scrub, foot reflexology and an 80 min massage. Phenomenal! CoCo was my therepist. I would most definitely come back here and send my husband for his own personal spa day! Don't be fooled by the minimalist outside decor if you will. It's not like a fancy manhattan spa with bells and whistles but once you walk in its nice and peaceful. Very clean and the staff is lovely. One reviewer wrote the walls did not go up all te way in the rooms, this is true but I was so focused on what she was doing to my super tight muscles I didn't care where I was. Also I kind of enjoyed the butt massage. I work out and my arse could a good massage. Overall this may have been the best massage experience ever and I've gone to many spas from silk day to the plaza to madarian oriental and this place was so great!!! I can't wait to come back! read more

the man behind the desk is very helpful. he helped me get from staten island to williamsburg and offered me green tea that helped my stomach stop hurting and some crackers. he explained all the massages. the women who massaged me and my girlfriend were very cautionate with their work and kept checking on us to mkae sure what they were doing didnt hurt. definitely going there again! and you should tooo!! read more
