I switched to Rowland Foot Soak after my favorite massage therapist moved over here. I love him so much that I will gladly follow him wherever he goes! This place has been around for a very long time and is quite loved by the locals. It is definitely a bit of a hole-in-the-wall spot, and the interior could admittedly use a little bit of an update. However, they do keep it pretty clean, and the prices are extremely reasonable. It's important to know that the type of massages they give here is the traditional Chinese-style acupressure, not a spa-like oil rubbing massage. I specifically come here to get deep tissue work and get my muscles loosened up. For some people, it might not feel super comfortable or relaxing in the moment because it's much more similar to a sports medicine massage, but the results are entirely worth it. I specifically book with therapist Li from Shanghai (note: there are two therapist Li's working here!). He is absolutely amazing, and my whole family has been getting massages from him for many, many years. While he doesn't speak a lot of English, his skills speak for themselves and he does amazing work. I always feel like I am completely reborn after a session with him. If you are looking for serious muscle relief at a great price, I highly recommend this place, just be sure to ask for the right Li! 在我的按摩師換到這裡工作後，我也跟著轉來了 Rowland Foot Soak。我實在太喜歡我的按摩師了，無論他去哪裡，我都願意跟隨他！ 這家店已經開了很久，深受當地人的喜愛。它確實是一家比較不起眼的老店（hole-in-the-wall），內裝也確實需要翻新一下。不過，他們店裡保持得蠻乾淨的，而且價格非常經濟實惠。需要特別注意的是，他們這裡提供的是傳統的中式穴位按摩，而不是那種像水療SPA一樣塗精油放鬆的按摩。我專門來這裡做深層組織放鬆，把緊繃的肌肉按開。對某些人來說，按的過程中可能不會覺得特別舒服，因為它更接近運動醫學的復健按摩，但效果絕對是值得的。 我每次都指定來自上海的 Li 按摩師（注意：店裡有兩位姓 Li 的按摩師！）。他真的太棒了，我們全家人多年來一直都找他按摩。雖然他不太會說英文，但他的技術完全說明了一切，手法非常厲害。每次給他按完之後，我都覺得自己像獲得新生一樣。 如果你想以划算的價格得到深層的肌肉舒緩，我強烈推薦這家店----只要記得預約對的 Li 按摩師就行了！ read more

Grand opening special is a great price + the lady masseuse I forgot her name is so great and knowledgeable!

My girlfriend and I went on a Friday evening, 5 minute wait. Good massage, strong but not too strong, quiet inside. $30 for 1hour foot massage with shoulder,head and neck massage. read more

Wanted to try a new spot in the area and the wait was 1.5-2hrs. What better way to kill time than a massage? Came in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised by the price and quality of the massage. I wasn't sure whether we'd be able to stay for the full hour so opted for a foot massage. They will try to upcharge you to a combo or body massage, but stay firm! The ladies were strong and skillful. We'll be adding massages to our dinners out in this area going forward. read more

I always come here to book Kevin and his wife Lisa for me and my husband. Kevin and his brother are both great!! Lisa is experienced as well. This is a more social foot massage spa. I wouldn't come here expecting a dead quiet zone. Your foot massage is done in an open area with other clients, and if you have a back massage, it's done in the other room where there are separate rooms but the rooms are not noise insulated. You can hear other people talk from time to time. I really don't mind because the massages are so great and affordable. A 1h30m massage is only $55! We give a $15 tip each, and it comes out to $140 for two people~ The prices are so reasonable, my husband and I are regular patrons to this shop. I would also call ahead of time because they can get quite busy! read more

My feet squishing and squashing around... with a weird feeling. The hot water in a bucket was great, but that message on my feet was terrible. Those plastic gloves around my feet felt guueeey and he hardly messaged my feet. Then he took me to a back room and I had to wait back there for about seven minutes. Uuuh... excuse me....I'm paying for those minutes. That was weird. Then he yanked my arm up in the air really hard. That hurt...ouch.... Then he stopped 5 minutes early. Well...I smoked out $30.00 and got short-changed 12 + minutes. read more

Called them one hour ahead. They asked us to come down here at 3pm and they then said they don't have anybody to perform the massage when we arrived. Lousy business. Not coming again. read more

OPEN 10a-11pm 7 days a week. I don't know why Yelp keeps not changing it. There are many reasons to get a massage - ranging from pampering yourself to really working on a knot that's affecting you. Rowland Feet soak is the later. If you're looking for something romantic or a place to make you feel like a prince/princess, THIS IS NOT THAT. Their prices don't reflect that they're anything they're not, so don't come here and then complain about how they didn't meet your own misconceptions. Rowland Feet Soak is magic. Specifically, Lulu is magic. You go in and it's dim. You go in and are immediately greeted by a fairly large space filled with about a dozen lounge chairs, facing the single TV on the wall that's most likely playing some Chinese program on mute. If you've not made an appointment/chose your service(s) beforehand (I really recommend you do), they will ask you and you will be led to one of the lounge chairs for your foot massage. And if you come here without getting a foot massage, what is wrong with you? Treat your feet better, yo. At the lounge chair, you will lie down, similar to an angle of a lazy-boy with the feet rest up. Hopefully you wore shorts or loose sweat pants so it's easy to roll up. As you're doing that, your masseuse will be filling a bucket of hot water. It may be too hot when it arrives, and she/he will laugh and just say, well wait a bit before you put your feet in then. Logic! She/he will start with your upper body as your feet are soaking - shoulders, neck, head, arms. Lulu's hands man, they are tough. Like, soft to the touch, but so much strength in her fingers! And she found all the spots I knew about and even found spots I had no idea about. The BEST part is it's as if she's doing it half hardheartedly. Because don't be surprised if your gal/guy isn't chatting with you (I didn't talk much to her, don't worry if you're not the chatty type) she/he most likely be chatting with other masseuses/customers as you're getting worked on. And then you start to wonder, "is she just THIS skilled? She is multitasking and giving a fantastic massage - they need to charge higher prices, man." We got the 45min on feet, 45 min body, so after she moved from my upper body to feet/legs, I was told to get up and go to the room next door that I didn't see upon entering. That's where your usual massage tables divided by walls are. I took my clothes off down to my underwear (girls, the bra strap will just get in the way, seriously leave it), and she covered me with a towel and gave me an awesome oil massage. Man, if I went to Lulu like...twice a week. My body would be rid of all it's knots in no time. read more

The service was very bad. The masseuse brought me a bottle of water and my massage soaked for 30 minutes. I haven't had a masseuse yet. In the end, I chose not to press and just left. read more

5 stars for ALICE, but i was told she no longer works here... .. so ehhh... and the service I received today was more like a 2 stars -_-' so i just averaged it to be fair and ratd them 3 stars + alice, but she's gone - quality of massage horrible!! the dude who was giving me the massage had like crazy cat nails or something... fucken like ripped into my skin more than massage... it was NOT relaxing in any way - ambiance chinese drama playing loudly in the background. workers chattering with each other NON STOP and laughing like dumbasses.. .. .. like stfu.. i coughed and it's like theyre too dumb to get the hint - communication when i pull away.. .that means i fucken ddont like whatever tha fuck it is you're dont. stop fucken touching me!!!!!!!!!!!! like this dude cannot communicate verbally or non verbally.. ... ughhhh!! i dont even mind that he cant speak english.. .. - service shit... i came in... no alice... but i wanted to give them a chance. they said 10 minutes.. i was like whatever... OVER 30 MINUTES LATER the dude was finally done.. .. .. it was NOT relaxing.. ... ... not to mention, my one hour session was cut to 50 minutes... epic dislike!! read more

Called ahead for a foot massage the other day and they were able to accommodate 30 minutes ahead of time! Service started off with a warm foot bath while the masseuse did a thorough head, scalp, shoulder, arm and hand massage. The foot massage was decent while the masseuse did it via a pair of vinyl gloves. The biggest surprise was the 20 minute back massage that was done in the back while fully clothed. Pressure was good by the masseuse and she hit numerous pressure points. They no longer offer post-paid stamp cards. ~$15/hr for a "foot" massage. They accept credit cards but their machine was "down" ...my masseuse was also the receptionist and kept on picking up the phone... read more

This place doesn't look like much from the outside - it's a hidden gem for sure! Thankfully they had availability for 4 people on Friday afternoon, but it got super busy after we arrived. I did the 40 min foot massage/30 min body massage for $30. My knots and stress spots were given extra TLC and I walked away feeling refreshed. Will be coming back! read more

Must come and ask for Judy. Incredible foot massage and neck rub. Gave me goosebumps and chills down my chest throughout massage.

I've been coming here for about 5 years now. They have high turnover, so stay away from the new ones, especially the guys that work here. I find that the women here are more professional, and stronger, yet gentle. When I'm really stressed I drop $40 for 1 hour of body and a half hour of foot massage. It's worth every penny...that is if you get a good masseuse. Ask for Judy. She's like I said about the women here. Strong yet gentle, and always professional. She's been here 8 years and knows what she's doing. Don't worry about the language barrier either. They have a chart you can simply point to pick your massage package, but most that work here know basic English. FYI: tipping is good karma here. They may not remember your name, but they will remember if you don't tip. Start out with a basic foot massage and give a 10 to 20 percent tip. They take debit cards, but cash is king. Enjoy! PS - NO! It's not THAT kind of massage parlor. Try the Tijuana red light district for that. read more

Rowland Feet Soak - They're open late! - Reflexology Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Great messagist & services My foot were killing me after the long day of standing up with heels, so my friend referred me to go there to get a massage. It was such a relief after the massage and i love it. The massagist not only massage my foot, he also massaged a bit on my head, shoulder, and back, which was great. I definately recommand this place to my friends because of those professional messagists. read more

This place is legit! Service is good, price is right. What more can you ask for $25??? $25 is for 40 min foot massage and 30 min back massage. Can't beat the price! I've Been coming here since 2011, once a week will help you reduce stress and increase muscle recovery! The Owners are super nice!!! Highly recommended!!! read more

Typical chinese foot massage... one aspect that made this place better was the fact that they took card (both debit and credit)... now they charge $1 per card swipe which is excessive considering card swipes are typically 3.5% with around 35 cents per transaction... read more

This is your everyday Asian foot massage place. 15 bucks = 1 hour. so it's nothing fancy BUT it does stand out from all the other ones I've been to in Alhambra/Monterey park/ Rowland. they have these chairs that unfold all the way level and they treat you with a 10-15 min back massage. that's a real treat cuz usually you're just sitting up. so it makes the massage that much more enjoyable. plus usually when you go to these spots the employees are a hit or miss situation. but we rolled up in there 3 deep and we all had a good experience. that's pretty rare to find. personally i was taken care of by Tawie - he's very nice and strong if you like a firmer massage. read more

Just got back from a great massage at Rowland Feet Soak. I went there based on these reviews with good expectations, and I was not disappointed. I really wanted work done on my back because it's always hurting (I have bad posture , a little beer belly and a big butt)and don't care so much about my legs, so I asked for a half and half, 30 minutes each. Twas amazing! Alice applied a lot of pressure, but just right. Not too weak and not too harsh. I winced a few times but hey, that's how you know you're feeling it. Like others said, you sit in a comfy lazy-boy type chair that can recline all the way into a bed. She put my feet in hot water. When that part was done she lotioned up and massaged my feet and legs while wearing gloves. Felt great. While my feet were soaking, she did my head and face and neck. Also really enjoyed that part. Some work on the arms and hands. When it was time for my back, she reclined the chair and put a towel and cute heart paper for my face to lie down on. Once again, a very solid amount of pressure. And maybe she could tell I have back problems. She did extra work on my gigantic buttocks. Wonder if it was fun to have something so bubbly to play with. I didn't talk at all. I just wanted to relax and enjoy, and I showed that by smiling from the feeling. I was surrounded by other people getting their massages just like me. Some were talking. All in Chinese. This is fine by me because other languages, especially Chinese, are just ambient noise when it surrounds me. I visited Taiwan and lived in Japan for a while. I appreciate not being able to eaves drop on conversations. Would have hated it if everyone spoke English. Alice did speak a little English though. I could tell she was doing her best to make me feel comfortable with my obvious native language. Not necessary for me, but cool nonetheless. On the speakers they played American music. Like instrumental soft R&B. Dentist office stuff, or what you listen to on hold. Only problem was it was cold in there. Felt like the AC was on, even though it was winter. I suppose if I had been wearing a long sleeve shirt, I would have been fine. I paid 25 for the half and half. And gave a 10 dollar tip. This might be more than usual, but it was so cheap compared to other places and she worked so hard, so I was fine with it. I would definitely go back and probably will! read more

BEST. MASSAGE. PLACE. EVER. at least for it's price. for the price you pay ($15 + tip)-- its way better than any other asian massage place you pay the same amount with. The ladies are super sweet and attentive to places where you have knots. These girls know what their doing unlike the other massage parlors in SGV who just rub and slap your back and ask for $15 at the end. read more

I usually don't get messages, but my back was hurting so bad that I was left with no choice. I surprised that this location is at a smaller plaza across the street as the HK2 Plaza. This plaza was very dark, and if it wasn't for the open sign that was lighted up, I would have thought that it was closed. When I came in the place was very dark. The owner knew English and gave me the options they have. I decided to get the 30 minute foot message with the 30 minute full body message for $25. The owner was nice and granted my request that a woman give me a message. The foot message was pretty good. They start off with a short head message and focus on your feet. She didn't speak English but understood my request for her to put more umph into her message. The pressure she applied to my feet was great. It was enough to message my feet but not overpowering to cause me great pain. After the foot message, they take you to a separate area which was just as dark as the previous area. The back message was just what I needed. She focused on knobs that I didn't even know I had. The pressure she applied was perfect, not overpowering but not weak enough to feel like she was rubbing her hands against my back. I decided to tip the lady $10, which I felt was a good amount, and since I didn't hear anything bad, they agreed as well. It was too dark to see the decor, but from what I saw, it was nice and clean. Two gripes about this place: the first was that after the back message, they gave me some really hot water. It was too dark to see the steam and was surprised by it. Another issue I had was during the foot message, the owner of the place was watching TV, disrupting the peaceful environment. I would have given 4 stars if it was peaceful, but due to that disruption, I have to give it 3. read more

Well worth the $20 (15 + 5 tip) that we left. Excellent service, very attentive (they can't speak English, but they do ask frequently are you okay to make sure we're not anguishing in pain, and I did notice they also look at our faces every time they apply pressure on sensitive nodes) -- maybe we should have left a bigger tip, now that we read the rest of the reviews here. Great experience, will go again. read more

This is by far my most favorite reflexology store in Southern California, and yes I compared with lots of foot massage stores in San Gabriel area. I love reflexology and have been to so many different stores in SoCal but this store always stands out in my mind. A regular foot massage starts with a head and shoulder massage for 10-15 minutes and the masseuse will work on your foot and legs. What makes them really stands out is that they would turn you over and massage your back - and this is my favorite part here because it completely loosen up not only the back but also the upper arm. I can feel immediately relaxed when I walked out of the store. Price - $15 for a regular foot massage like I mentioned above. +$10 extra for a extended back massage if you would like to. Masseuse are nice and you can let them know which part of your feet or back needs more attention. They will take care of it. This store is not a fancy SPA-like massage store but their hard work and service make every dollar worth. Not all the masseuse can speak good English, so if you don't speak Chinese, grab your Chinese-speaking friend to visit the store. Oh, did I tell you most reflexology store is cash only and this store is no exception? read more

Judy and lulu are so good!!! Gets all the right spots!! They even offer 2 hour massages!!! The best!!!

Ask For Judy, she has amazing hands that will make your body feeling fantastic, 30min body + 30min back. Place is quiet with dim lighting, good family service topped off with a dynamic massage. I usually try to call ahead to make an appointment. read more

My masseuse Anna was texting on her phone throughout the 1 hr massage. I counted over 15 times where she was giving me one handed inconsistent pressure from beginning to end. I couldn't wait for it to end. Almost got up and walked out but was there with 3 others who were getting massages and I didn't want to interrupt their time. I told Anna at the end that she might want to stay off her phone while giving massages because to be honest it didn't feel good. Could tell she felt bad and she was nice about it so I still gave her a $5 tip. The massage I got today was the equivalent of an amateur. Lots of pauses, inconsistent pressure. She actually used my lower back as an armrest to text while she used her other forearm to massage my upper back. Was totally bewildered, pissed, and laughed at the absurdity. Guess you get what you pay for. Would be a one star review but the people there were all fairly nice. read more

My therapist, Lisa, is the worst therapist I have ever seen! I was so pissed off by her and almost cried because of her awful service and super bad attitude! She is so unprofessional that she didn't even dry my feet after soaking! And she was so interested in other things while she was doing my massage! And her service is very uncomfortable! It was too light! When I asked her to push more, she went to get a too to scrub my feet because she couldn't put pressure on my feet, which made me hurt and super uncomfortable! More importantly, she didn't even tell me that she was not using her hands! And she asked for tips even before my whole session is finished! I can't believe that a massage experience can be so unprofessional and terrible! If you come and visit this place, don't call her! I swear you would regret it! read more

Made an appointment at 4:30 pm & requested specifically for Judy and the manager said OK. After 1 hr drive and all the traffic, I walked in and explained to the manager I have reservation at 4:30 requested Judy. At the same time Judy said I'm busy; while she's sitting and playing with her phone with NO costumer. I explained again to the manager I had 4:30 reservation and asked for Judy; Judy again said I'm busy while paying with her phone. Instead they gave me a male when I specifically requested for female. I decided to walked out ! Very disappointed!! If Judy is busy, why is the manager ok my appointment with her at 4:30; while he could've said Judy has other appt. it will save me the time and drive. read more

tip: 30 min feet and 30 min back at $25 is the best deal in all of sgv, and say no to massage head, it's pointless. went in on a dead thursday afternoon, spoke chinese with the person looking after the place. went with half back and half feet, he even added an extra 10 min per! the "massage therapists" will talk to you if you speak chinese with them. tip is really from $5 to $10, though i have 10 bucks. the place is relatively quiet with chinese tv on, clean, and upkeep is good. they even offer free tea or water. only downside is no membership card or buy 10 get one free card. read more

This review is for Alice!! She is amazing :) I know they do not look upscale or whatevers, but all I care about is the quality of the massage!! She's so AMAZING that I tip her double what I usually tip other places ^_^ read more

I came here wanting to do the 1 hour foot massage for $15 but I ended up doing the 30min body & 30 min feet for $20 and I did not regret it! First, when you go in, you're greeted by the masseuses. Most of them can speak both Mandarin and English. You can pick if you want a male or female and then they assign you to a big comfy chair to sit in. They bring out a tub of hot water to soak your feet in (the tub has little bumps on the bottom so you can step on it & massage your feet). While your feet is soaking, they massage your head, neck, & shoulders for about 10 minutes. Then, they take your feet out of the water and start massaging your feet with lotion. They do some interesting stretches on your body so don't be alarmed! If you're not comfortable with it, make sure to let them know. After the foot part is done, they put a hot towel on your feet to wipe it down (mine was really hot! I wish she checked the temperature first before putting it on my feet). For the body, you go to another section of the store where they have shared rooms or individual rooms. For the massage I got, I kept my clothes on. The place was relatively clean and everyone was really nice. The place could be a little more air conditioned (was a bit hot at one point but they had a lot of breeze from the outside so it wasn't too bad) & the masseuse talk during the massage (I'm used to it at these Asian places so I just tune it out). They also give you tea or water afterwards. I had the masseuse, Lulu, who did a good job but there's just certain little things I wish she would've done, like make sure the wet towel wasn't too hot when putting it on my feet or putting a towel over my eyes when she was just working on my feet so I could relax. I'll probably try someone new next time like Lisa (my friend had her & liked her). I paid with credit card and tipped in cash. The lady didn't seem too happy that I paid with card so I'm going to bring cash next time. Make sure to tip your masseuse! I worked in a massage place before & I know how hard they work. Their hands hurt after hours & hours of using their hands. :( All in all, I would go back if I just needed a quick massage. read more

Best $15 I spent in my life! 60 minutes of massage for $15??? Are you kidding? I'll be back!

I walked in this shop by one of my trust friend's comments. Lulu is the best one! I compared lots of places and helpers, she is the only one I ever met who knows how to apply pressure powerfully and accurately, even better than a true acupuncturist! Appreciate her efforts! read more

Holy crap. I don't think I ever paid this little for such an awesome massage. $30 including tip for an hour full body massage. I was manhandled by the guy but holy moly, I felt great afterward. Great comfortable chairs, even better if you speak Chinese.. lol read more

I have never gotten a massage before this because I never needed one. one day, my lower back completely tied up. so my gf's mom told me to goto this place and get a massage. I told them my lower back hurts, so focus there. It was surely a painful experience. I walked out of there with more pain than I went in. I woke up the next day, my back completely loosened up, which was great. The massage cost $15 + $10 tip. Not bad. Now I go regularly now. read more

I'm an avid foot massage goer, but this place left me wanting more. Its basically the same lay out as all the others. Sit in a chair, get your shoulders massage, head massaged, then off to the feet. However the next day after the massage I had to go to the chiropractor due to the pain I was experiencing in my neck. I am almost certian that they did something wrong here, and I suffered because of it. Lesson learned, always go back to the places that know what their doing, and venturing out to new places due to the convience of location is not always worth the gamble. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. First we tried calling and they answered "hello." Then I asked their pricing and they hung up. Well you'd think I wouldn't have gone since they hung up on me but I did anyways bcuz everywhere else was booked. We get there and they were so loud the second we walked in. The tv was on as well as the volume. Both our therapists talked the entire time, not even whispering, and mine kept burping!!! It was disgusting!!! Never ever going here again! Oh and they cut us 20 minutes.. We should have walked out. You get what you pay for I guess. read more

One of the female massager really didn't know how to do her job! It was the WORST massage i have ever gotten..... I feel nothing but painful.... My back pains for days and it still does when i touch it! I told her it hurts a lot and please do it lighter and she just replied me that i am too skinny and I'm not healthy thats why it hurts. Okay...? I thought i was supposed to feel relaxed..Never going back again.. read more
