Booked in advance a couples massage for. Sunday morning. I have been here once before but mannyyyyy years ago. theres parking in the back. very cute area of somerville and very easy to find. we got they a little early and they brought us right in. they offer spa slippers at the door for you to switch out and get comfy. the couples massage room was very cozy, feng shui, and warm. they was designated space for your jackets, clothes, and personal belonging. the music was perfect and relaxing, the table was heated which was a nice tough. the massage itself was amazing just as i remember from years ago! they ask you where you want to focus but the massage is head to toe. i had so many knots in my upper back and she did an amazing job getting it all out. we cant wait to come back!! PS bring cash! read more

Authentic Thai massage that was just what my body needed. To get to them you go up a flight of stairs and it's the door on the right. The ladies were very kind and the massage bed was comfortable. The only thing that took away from the experience was some street noise since rooms all had windows. I'd definitely go back though, overall great. Cash discount read more

I've received a few Thai massages in the past and honestly this one has truly been one of the best! I chose a 90min Thai combo massage, with a focus on therapeutic/deep tissue. Mod really got all those knots out and checked in to see how the pressure was for me. Absolutely recommend this health spa and will be returning in the future! read more

I still come here regularly even though I moved further away, because it's truly wonderful and full of amazing staff. A special shout-out to Mod, who is incredibly talented and has made me feel like a whole new person (with so much less pain) every time I've been her client! read more

Overall, great massages (I did have a disappointing prenatal massage a few years ago, but I've never had a bad experience with their standard massage). However, don't trust their online booking system! I booked an appointment and received a confirmation, then a few hours later got a call saying there were no appointments at my requested time. I asked what happened, since I got a confirmation, and the person I spoke with said that the website booking confirmations are automatic and don't reflect the actual availability of appointments. We went back and forth a bit and she really didn't seem to understand why I was disappointed. She insisted that they always call if there's a problem, and that's nice, but I wish that they would change the configuration so their website doesn't "confirm" appointments that aren't real. read more

I have been here several times and have always been happy with every visit. The massage techniques itself is very different from a traditional massage and includes accupressure and stretching. The place is clean and they offer discounts for cash payments. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Smile Thai Health Spa - Lobby - Massage Therapy Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Walked in on a Saturday and was able to get a massage after a short wait. I paid in cash and got a $10 discount which I used towards tip. When you come in, don't forget to take off your shoes and use the slides by the door! read more

The spa itself was clean and thoughtfully decorated, rooms were spacious and comfortable. There was a fair amount of noise from the road and the room I was in was right behind the front desk, so I could hear a lot of conversation from people coming and going.. which I initially thought would distract from my ability to relax and enjoy my massage, but the woman massaging me did such an incredible job it really didn't matter. I got a hot stone massage, it was skillfully blended with a traditional Thai massage. I can't say enough about how relaxing it is the have the deep tissue work and stretching combined with the relaxing hot stones. Will definitely be back in the future! read more

Best massage in Somerville! Ask for Monica - she is amazing!!!! She used hot stones, tiger balm, does stretching, and she asks if you'd like her to walk on your back or not. 10 stars! read more

Good massage. Decent price. Took last minute reservation. Nice and easy experience. Calming music. Nice staff

Smile Thai offers an excellent experience. Deep tissue Thai massage with option to walk on your back if you'd like. Experience starts with taking off your own shoes and putting on their soft sandals (recommend wearing socks if you're more comfortable with that) and ends with offer of hot tea or water to relax. Pam, Rose, and others are great! read more

I have been a massage therapist for nearly a decade, and as a result I have become very picky about about massage. I decided to try Smile Thai Health Spa on a whim while hanging out in Union Sq. I have always heard wonderful things about Thai massage, but had never experienced it so I was very excited. I walked in without an appointment and was greeted warmly by a woman behind the desk. The waiting area was warm and clean and decorated with hints of Thailand. I was given paperwork to fill out and then lead into a treatment room and asked to dress down to my level of comfort. My therapist, Kai, asked about my comfort and got to work. I did not know what to expect so, I settled in to see what happened next. Kai is tiny, but that in NO way was a reflection on her work. I have to be twice her weight and she effortlessly manipulated my limbs to achieve the most wonderful stretches. She used her body weight: knees, feet, elbows and hands and preformed a skillful ballet of massage over my back, legs and arms. I was blown away how precise she could be with her feet! Towards the end of the massage Kai had me in a seated position (with the sheet tied around me for modesty) and with a couple calculated moves she adjusted my spine. It was GLORIOUS. I have now had my 4th massage with Kai and will gladly shout her name at the top of a mountain. I am so grateful to have found her/Smile Thai Health spa, and I very clearly recommend you experience a massage there as well. Pro Tip: Pay in cash for a discounted rate, and don't forget to tip! read more

I've never gotten a Thai massage before so I had no idea what to expect, but this was a good experience! Came in on a Friday night for a 60 minute couples massage appointment. We were a little late because the reserved parking spots behind the building were taken so we circled around til we found metered parking. We called ahead to give a head's up so it wasn't an issue but I would definitely account for more parking time if needed. We were brought to our room and were given a few minutes to strip down to our underwear (or whatever level of comfort) and given a sheet to cover ourselves. My masseuse then came back in and asked if there were areas I wanted to focus on and to let her know if how much pressure I preferred. There are bars on the ceiling for the masseuses to hold onto while they use their feet, which was a new experience for me. Regardless of whether she used her hands or feet, I really had to focus on breathing so not to feel overwhelmed, but eventually I did ask if she could be gentler, which worked a lot better for me. Overall it was a good experience and I felt good after. I would definitely come back. read more

Love the massage there. I stopped by for a 2 hour massage ($130 if paid cash) very last minute and luckily...they were able to fit me into their schedule with just some wait. I had Luis for the therapist and he definitely provide the level of depth that I was looking for. It reminded me of the massage I had in Thailand. Strong, deep..and hurt (given how stiff and inflexible I have become!!)...but the hurt so good! The spa wasn't anything 5 stars high end but they did provide you all the comfort...some water and snacks while you wait..and a proper clean and serene room to make you feel comfortable during your massage. The staff wad kind and made you feel welcome. I've been wanting to go back there for another session but the place is a little out of my way (I don't have a car and the T doesnt quite get me close to there)...but I know i will be visiting this place again soon when the timing is right. Definitely the best massage I've had in the US..especially given the fact that I prefer real deep massage..and not a wimpy touchy feely one! read more

Horrible experience , the masseuse was symptomatic coughing and sneezing the entire time , I inquired about it and was told it was "allergies". Also, I went in with a pulled back and requested work on my right side ( I go regularly for muscle work in Woburn ) they were on vacation. Hence the visit. The masseur did not know basic techniques to remove a basic knot. It was legit the weirdest massage. Now two days later I sit here with a pulled back waiting on my regular masseur to come back from vacation and now with a cold. I would highly recommend not going here due to these factors. read more

I've been here before with my fiancé, and we both loved our massages. I couldn't wait to come back here when I had a free weekend, but unfortunately, the service was not the same as I had remembered. The signature part of the massage that I was most looking forward to was when the masseuse walks on your back - this did not happen at all, which was a bit strange, but I did not mind so much since the massage itself was still pretty decent. At the end is where it gets a little weird.. as I'm checking out, I hand over $140 in cash. Initially, I had thought the massage was $120, so I was always meaning to leave a $20 tip. She lets me know it was $130, and asks me 'Was it not good?' I said, 'Yes, it was good!' The receptionist then proceeds to pull out a piece of paper with a handwritten note that says 'Buy me a Budlight' and how much 20% would equal i.e., 20%=$29. If you calculate it yourself, 20% of 130 is actually $26.. Anywho, besides the mathematical miscalculation, I then proceed to hand her another $20 and ask for $10 in change to stick with my original plan of leaving a $20 tip, which would have still been 15% tip for the massage. When I ask for my change, she again points to the paper and refuses to give me anything, basically just staring at me. At this point, I'm feeling extremely awkward since the masseuse has also walked up during this time. She did do a good job, so I end up letting it go and not pressing the matter further. Honestly, I am all for tipping for great service, and I know these ladies work hard. However, I do not appreciate being pressured to give more of a tip when I felt like the tip I was giving was sufficient (their website even states that 10%-20% is typical). It definitely felt very shady to me, and honestly, I probably won't be coming back anymore due to that strange interaction. It sucks because I really liked this place, but at the end of the day, making your customers uncomfortable and forced to do something is not going to make them come back. read more

My wife and I booked a last minute couples massage, and felt amazing afterwards. The ambience is very peaceful, and the massage was very intense and cathartic. read more

Always feel so much better after I come here. They have long hours. They always squeeze me in no matter what time. I come and see Monica. She is great! read more

Bliss! I routinely go to this health spa for firm deep tissue Thai massage. I had different masseuses at this health spa massage me and all of them have been outstanding. Not only are they friendly and highly skilled in massage, but they truly care about your health. The masseuses always provide me with a hybrid massage on a heated bed which includes hot oil, hot stones, Thai massage and deep tissue massage. They play relaxing music and dim the lights during the massage. At the end of the massage, they provide a hot towel and hot tea. This is such a nice touch and makes the massage extra special. The best part about this place is they provide the most firm deep tissue massages I have ever experienced. If they are not very busy, then you can even have two masseuses work on you at the same time. I always leave this place feeling renewed and healthy. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a professional massage. read more

Just discovered Ashiatsu Bar Massage and this is the place to discover it!!! The therapist, Kai, was INCREDIBLE - she truly has a gift. She hit knots that have been hurting me for years that no other therapists ever hit - and stretched tight muscles like no one has. I've been dealing with a degenerative spine disease and chronic pain for 30 years. I've been through years of PT, chiropractic, etc. and have had hundreds of massages over the years. This was, without question, the best two hours of self-care I have ever had. It was a cathartic experience and I can't wait for the next one! Don't think about it any longer...just book it and thank me later! read more

Claire gave me quite literally the best therapeutic massage I've ever gotten. I do a lot of strength training and have a desk job that puts a lot of strain on my body. Im used to going for monthly deep tissue massages, but I decided I wanted to try something a bit different this time. I'm so happy I found this place! read more

I am a repeat customer here - the massage is so good it's almost like physical therapy for your body. Definitely check this place out.

5 star experience! Absolutely love getting a massage at this spectacular massage parlor. The massage therapists are very friendly, strong and attuned to my individual body needs. I cannot wait to return. I am a regular customer with my husband, and gladly share our experience with our friends. read more

This spa is amazing! I found this while I was randomly searching spas on Yelp. First off, the prices are very reasonable (aka cheaper) when compared to other spas in the area. There's even a $5-10 promo discount when you pay cash. My husband and I decided to go for the couples massage ($120 in cash for 60 mins) versus the individual 60 mins ($65 in cash). The couples room is very spacious, smells nice and dark. My masseuse didn't step on my back bc I'm nursing right now and nervous about the implications of her stepping on me, but she did everything else. She used her legs, feet, hands and arms with pressure to unknot me and I loved it. I was so sad when the 60 mins were up. Another thing I loved is that this spa gave us bottled water after the massage was done! Most spas have given me water in a small plastic cup afterwards. It was a small gesture but very appreciated. Can't wait for my next date to come back here again! read more

A wonderful experience. Clean facility & kind staff. Kai was amazing. Precise and skillful. I came in with a bad hip flexor & lower back injury, and she provided some much needed relief. She got very deep in my muscle tissue and executed some extremely helpful assisted stretches. My pain melted away over the next few hours. My range of motion was massively improved. Magic! read more

In the morning, I booked two appointments for 5:30p. They called around 2p to reschedule one of them for 4:30p. Arrived at 4:27p for the 4:30p... and then they had me wait for 40 minutes until the therapist was available. Decent massage, but unreliable scheduling practice that negatively impacted our day in multiple ways. read more

I absolutely love this place! I was able to get a walk-in appointment same day and I'm so glad they did. I had never had a Thai massage so I didn't realise how different and way better they are than your typical massage. You need to book your appointment here! Highly recommend! read more
