I've found exactly that every time I visit both locations. At the first location, I saw Jack, he is awesome and wonderful. Then I met Wendi, who is also great. And last but not least, my current go-to therapist, Allen--he is absolutely amazing. I go to Allen when I want firm pressure without feeling like I'm in pain. Not to take away from the other therapists, they were all excellent but Allen is perfectly aligned with what I need. I see Allen at least 2-3 times a month, and the consistency in quality is unmatched. The space is always super clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The staff at the front desk (owners or team members) are incredibly accommodating, kind, and pleasant every single visit. If you're looking for a place that delivers both results and relaxation, this is

The front desk person was so kind and helpful explaining to me the services. The person that massaged me was also very kind and clear. I highly recommend this place and would definitely come back again to get all my skin exfoliated. You might get grossed out with the sensation of all the skin on you. The aftermath was pretty gnarly lol, but now I'm soft!

This has become our regular spot for weekend morning massages, followed by lunch nearby around…read moreChinatown. Note that Oasis has two locations which are related (I think?), but have different phone numbers and certain massage therapists work at one or the other. It's always super easy to schedule a same-day (or same-morning) appointment by calling. They can usually get you in ASAP, and once you show up, you are ushered to your room right away. Parking is always questionable since it's located in Dun Huang Plaza, but if you come early enough in the morning, parking has never been an issue. I have seen Mike the past couple of visits and my partner regularly goes to see Alan. Both are super solid and we've never had an issue scheduling with them. I prefer my massages DEEP, and Mike does go really deep. To the point I question whether I need to warn him not to push any further or else he might break my back... They have very clean restrooms and complimentary water for guests. Couches in the waiting area are super comfy if you do end up having to wait for a bit.

There is usually a clear difference between budget massage places and high end spas, yet somehow…read moreOasis II feels like a blend of both. Despite being overshadowed by its much larger sister location in the same plaza (#1), this has become my go-to place for all things massage. Don't let the smallish lobby fool you, Oasis II is larger than it appears. There are a number of individual and group rooms of varying sizes, all of which are clean and smell great. They're dimly lit and private enough to conceal the outside noise. It is quiet enough to feel like a true oasis. The male and female masseuses here all specialize in different styles, from deep tissue to aromatherapy. 1 hour regular body massage runs about $65, where as a foot massage is $40. There are specific tiers that include only shoulder / neck / back ($40-70) or even head massage ($40) or hot stone massage ($75). I personally prefer their Oasis special of 30 minutes of feet and another 1 hour of body massage for $90. I'm on my feet often, so foot massages are favorite thing to get. I often require someone who knows how to manipulate large feet where in the perfect balance between pain and pleasure, and usually that person is an older Chinese man with bear paws for hands. There's usually a head and shoulder massage that accompanies this, so it is the best overall combo. When he's done, I feel like I'm floating and light on my toes. For the occasions where it is my back, I prefer back walking. This is not exclusive to Thai massage, but is widely practiced in Chinese style massages. Not every massage place will have bars on the ceiling, but they have specialized rooms where where folks can do this on their own or in couples fashion. I enjoy the pressure and appreciate any pops in the process. They're very professional and do an excellent job every time. English is not necessarily universal, but make your preferences known at the counter so that they can communicate with the staff if necessary. The customer service may not appear to be warm, but it's effective. They do such a good job with answering the phones, scheduling the appointments, and executing in a way that is consistent that I have found very little room for error. It is my sanctuary at Dun Huang Plaza and deserving of this milestone review. (#2) __________ (#1) Oasis No.1: https://www.yelp.com/biz/oasis-massage-salon-houston (#2) Here's looking at you, #5100

I had a strange experience at Soul Inn during my recent visit. The guy who gave me my massage,…read moreKevin, was trying to upsell additional services while I was on the table. It felt really odd. While I was face down, he mentioned something about 10 minutes. I couldn't fully understand because I was relaxed and dozing off, and because of the language barrier. I initially thought he was just letting me know how much time I had remaining, which is unusual because massage therapists typically don't provide time updates during the session. Then he told me it would cost an extra $10 for another 10 minutes. That's when I realized he wasn't informing me about the time; he was trying to sell me more service while I was half asleep. This made me uncomfortable since I had clearly communicated what service I wanted beforehand. Why wake me up to pitch an upsell? This was my second visit; the first time, I had a pleasant experience with a female therapist who gave me a great massage, which is why I returned. After my strange encounter with Kevin, I shared my experience with my friend who recommended the place. She told me that during her last visit, she had him as well, and he tried to upsell her during her massage too, making her feel uncomfortable. My friend has been going there for over a year and has never had an issue with the other therapists, so this was a new and unusual experience for both of us. I'm glad she clarified that this wasn't the norm for the business and the other therapists did not have this practice. However, the whole ordeal left me with an unpleasant feeling, and I'm now hesitant to return, especially when there are other massage businesses in the area that offer a peaceful setting without the pressure to purchase additional services WHILE half asleep during a massage.

I don't understand why my whole butt had to be exposed the whole massage when they weren't working on it , and considering that I heard men laughing - I could only assume their men employees were looking over from their half wall rooms. Hot stones were nice but I don't know why they felt like they still felt like their speedy hand movements were relaxing . They even shook me like if that was supposed to be a massage technique.

We always leave feeling rejuvenated and grateful for our experience. There is never any wait time and the experience never feels rushed. We have utilized EFM for both body massage and foot reflexology and while both are wonderful, we always feel that reflexology offers the best value. If you are concerned about a language barrier, there is no need--their staff speaks good English and is always kind and polite. I appreciate how the masseuses always think about how my hair will be affected by the lotion and considerately use towels to ensure I don't leave looking unkempt. I'd give six stars, if possible! If you're on the fence about Chinese style massage, I would strongly say to give them a try.

We decided to treat ourselves to a relaxing day with my cousins and booked massages together…read more My massage therapist was great, though based on my cousins' feedback, a few of the female therapists were a bit hit-or-miss. Pricing felt fairly reasonable for the length of the massage sessions we received. The establishment itself was clean, but it was somewhat noisy due to its close proximity to a busy street like Bellaire, which slightly took away from the relaxation factor. After we finished and went to pay, I noticed a $5 surcharge for card payments. I'm not sure what the charge was for, but I do wish it had been disclosed more clearly upfront. Overall, a decent spot for massages with fair pricing--just a few transparency and noise-related improvements would elevate the experience.

Prosperous paradise spa is one of the only legit late night massage places in Chinatown. It's so…read morelegit that other masseuses from nearby places tend to choose this one as their favorite option after work. It would be hard to disagree, considering this is a place that reminds me of spas back in Asia. Undoubtably the prices skew somewhat higher, and while they offer credit cards as an option, the fee is almost never worth it. Cash is king and they will round up, because most items and with .99 (e.g. $49.99). What I would argue is the facility is nice enough to warn the slightly higher price and overall solid massage experience. First timers will be directed to a binder, with a breakdown of multiple massages at different prices, and for different lengths of time. I would recommend looking at their website, or doing a little bit of research prior to coming. Sometimes calling ahead of time will work, as the lady boss speaks good English and is able to set appointments based on preferences. Eventually, most folks will be directed to change in their locker rooms, which have showers, vanity mirrors, and personalized lockers. Surprisingly all of the lockers are out of order, which I suspect is a safety measure than a functionality issue. The men's locker room is spotless and offers multiple types of showers. However, none of the lockers are in use or are able to be used. While they do provide shorts and uniforms for people, they don't provide baskets or ways to hold the clothes. People basically have to carry it around. One of their best services is the foot massage. It's excellent and one of the better places in Chinatown to get it. Their massage chair is out in the open and is fancy enough to have a built-in sink for foot soaking and comfy enough cushion to lay flat for front and back. Additionally, they will eventually do a neck, shoulder, and back rub (over clothes + towel) and it remains one of their best valued options. The rooms are extremely clean. It's extremely professional the whole time. They offer back walking which is their version of a deep tissue massage. Unlike a lot of other Chinese massage places where it's questionable from a hygiene standpoint, there is no worry of this here. They offer full bottles of room temperature water for everyone and parking is a cinch. Ultimately one's experience varies with every masseuse, but the men that work here pull off a very good foot massage and that would be my biggest recommendation. If a body massage is needed, I recommend deep tissue, which usually involves backwalking. (#1) ___________ (#1) Also, quite good.

Great looking location on the inside but the stench of cigarette smoke ruined the experience…read more Aside from that the male messeuse was sloppy in his work. I've had a lot of Asian massages (and massages in general) and the staff esp the men are always careful about covering your privates and making sure areas are covered with the sheet before moving on to the next body part. This was not the case with this employee. It was almost as if he was in a rush or couldn't be bothered. At one point the bottom half of my butt was exposed and I believe he was scolded by the female masseuse who was massaging my sister bc he immediately covered me after she spoke to him. It was also distracting that he was texting while working and I could feel the phone vibrating with incoming messages for the first 10-15 mins of the massage. If you're looking for someone more professional and less lazy/sloppy with covering up your body parts go with a female or try another spa. This was a big turn off for me and I would not schedule with him, if at all at this spa.
