My first time at a Korean spa, and it was a great introduction! The facilities were very clean and…read moreneat. I've never done the full rotation of hot tub to dry sauna to steam sauna to cold plunge - it was genuinely painful. If you've never experienced this, be prepared to get your heart racing. I was expecting a relaxing experience, but the saunas will leave you out of breath, and the cold plunge will shock your system. It's supposed to be really good for detoxing your system, and I definitely felt like I sweat out a bunch of toxins. We really enjoyed the massage chairs after this whole rotation and showering. The massage chairs are super comfortable and have a variety of massage options. It was so soothing that I fell asleep during my massage. There are a variety of popular scrub massage options that I did not try this time around. The downstairs co-ed dry saunas were a bit underwhelming. The saunas were comfortably warm and had blankets to rest on. These saunas didn't seem to be for the purposes of detoxing since they were at a moderate temperature. I was so comfortable that I ended up falling asleep in multiple rooms lol. Bay Spa was the perfect introduction to Korean spas, and I will definitely be returning!

It was my second time in a Korean Spa and I can say that I understand all the hype now!…read more Highlights: 1. Getting scrubbed to death via one of their scrub massage combos and having all of my dead skin scratched off 2. Mix of wet / dry saunas, hot and cold plunges, and other cool rooms to try like cold room, salt room, jade room, and more! 3. The food here was actually pretty good. Had bulgogi and it was great Lowlights: 1. Price of food is very high, but you're paying for convenience 2. Some of the massage chairs were broken / didn't work fully 3. I probably didn't understand it, but the clay room wasn't theraputic and was just super dusty. I probably need to research this one a little more as I'm sure there are benefits What To Expect: 1. Pay at the front, receive your keys to locker room, get changed and shower, use the facilities, literally rinse and repeat 2. (Optional) get an appointment for a scrub - shower and then soak in the hot tub for 20-30 min before the scrub to loosen up the dead skin If you're a first timer to this spa or any kind of Asian spa, I recommend watching a how-to video beforehand to know what to expect!

I handed it to her and she and another worker said there was a "$10 minimum tip" they argued with me and i told her I didn't have more cash. She tells me I can use card for tip (despite the signs stating cash only) and I told them I would tip $5. They argued with me and tried to force me to tip $10. One lady rudely said "okay fine just go" and I left. Very unprofessional and inappropriate. Also didn't seem that clean.

The kind lady that took care of me did a number on my whole body. Maui Wowie. The way I felt before and now is a day & night difference. For $40, it's an incredibly hard deal to beat. I'm sure they accept card payments but cash is king. Tip them well if you can too!

Review for Rose Garden Foot Spa (Santa Clara)…read more Absolutely amazing. She's tall, strong, and incredibly skilled -- the kind of therapist who listens for a minute and then somehow finds every problem area you didn't even mention. If you can take deep pressure, she can deliver it, but she also knows exactly when to ease off. The last five minutes are my favorite: she switches to a light, calming touch that almost always puts me to sleep. She's smart, intuitive, and genuinely focused on helping you feel better. One of the best massage experiences I've had anywhere. Highly recommended. --- Rose Garden Foot Spa Address: 1618 Pomeroy Ave, Santa Clara, CA 95051 Phone: (408) 249‑1122 Hours: 10 AM - 10 PM daily Map / Info: https://www.mapquest.com/us/california/rose-garden-foot-spa-422042

Definitely a casual spot, but I like that because it feels like a clean friend's place as opposed to a standardized business. Very low-key and takes only 1 person at a time so I like that I won't have to be in a space with anyone else, besides the masseuse. She is super great with feedback and very considerate. I'm excited for her to get another masseuse so that I can go with my partner.

The prices seemed reasonable for the Los Altos area, so I booked my appointment for the 45-minute Deep Tissue massage. When I got there, they took me to my room right away even though I was a little early for my appointment. The room was nice and dark, very relaxing vibes. Rachel was my masseuse and she did an amazing job. She asked me where I wanted to focus and I mentioned that I needed some work on my neck, shoulders, and upper back. My favorite part of the massage was when she cracked my entire back with full force - it felt like everything loosened up in my back afterwards. Overall, would highly recommend if you need a decompressing and relaxing massage. Felt instantly better afterwards!

The place is nice, clean, and quiet. Individual private rooms with one couples room. I recently received a massage and Eva was my masseuse. She asked about the pressure and if I wanted to do cupping also. I went with the usual body massage. She used a combination of hands, forearms, and elbows to work my knots out. Good to see that they are still doing well. Support your local business.

I have been going here for years and through the years I was satisfied up till yesterday. I requested a Swedish massage and it sure wasn't that. Half of the massage was done over the blanket, it was more of a poking movement, digging into my back repeatedly. Ive gotten many massages in the past and this is one of the worst. They usually have a routine that they go by lim from lim right to left side. This had zero structure. She barely moved from my shoulders and barely massaged the rest of my body. When the massage was finished. The massage lady hands me a bottled water. I continue to walk to the front desk and her and another lady comes behind the front desk, chanting something like, "tip, tip, tip". Tips are suppose to be earned. I wasn't going to give a tip at all. They made it look like they were begging for it. I tossed my 20 and left. You'll never see me here again.
