Awesome massages and the combo deal is worth it and more! Ambiance is calming and quiet. I don't like making small talk during my massage and they were totally cool with that. The lotion they use has no scent, so it's great for sensitive noses, and hydrating without the tacky/sticky feel. read more

This is a great value, very clean & great therapists. It was easy to schedule an appointment. Melody is so gracious! I had Lucy on my 2nd visit( hope that was her name). She was amazing, had great pressure & very thorough in areas I asked her to focus on. Only reason I didn't give it a 5 because there was a lady in the next area over & I could hear her talking clearly from where I was. It could of been just a tiny bit more dim in the room, but it was FANTASTIC! read more

Go! It's cheap and bomb dot com. Expect to get a little bit of heat if you don't tip enough but either stick to your guns or roll with it!

Went here based on a recommendation and couldn't be more thrilled. I was welcomed when I walked in and taken into a very nice clean room and given one of the best massages of my life from Kevin. He was careful gentle and made sure I was all right through the whole massage. There was hot stone and a body scrub and I came out feeling more relaxed than I ever have. I would return here anytime and recommend it to anyone! read more

Wonderful foot and full body massage with clothes on. Very flexible hours, we chose the 60 min reflexology which included head, neck, arms, legs, 25 min foot, then full back massage. We had a groupon coupon 2- 60 min massages for $49!!! That's insane pricing! They also did not beg for a tip at the end like I've heard some other places do in Chicago. Will definitely be back and try more massage options!! read more

Fabulous foot reflexology and head to toe massage. Better than I expected, in fact the best! Such a sanctuary of relaxation I would highly recommend and would definitely go again. read more

Amazing massage!!! I've been to many Chinese reflexology massage places and this is definitely my favorite in Chicago. It is extremely affordable for the quality of massage you'll receive. They stretch you and really target your knots with precise pressure using their fingers, knuckles, and thumbs. They also have private rooms for a couple's massage, which is nice. Let them know if you want more or less pressure and they'll accommodate. If this is your first time receiving a reflexology massage, they have a recommended list of how much you should tip according to your satisfaction, which is really helpful. I will definitely be coming back regularly. They even have a punch card so after 10 massages, you'll receive 1 free. read more

My husband and I just did the foot massages by recommendation of another couple. IT WAS AWESOME!! Clean & tranquil environment and equipment. We are definitely coming back. The price and the service was so on point. My husband & I were able to communicate how much pressure we wanted and they listened!! They even stayed 30 mins passed closing to complete our massages. $25 for an hour is an amazing deal. read more

Very clean place. Friendly staff and excellent and professional massage. Music quality and selection was very nice. Location not great but is convenient. Parking easy in Taylor street. Highly recommend read more

So far, the best massage I ever have!! I have very sore, stiff back cuz sedentary lifestyle. I got 90 minutes deep tissue massage. The girl has very unique technique, also she used very special rub, and herb hot pack. She worked on all of my sore spots, feel difference right away. I didn't give comment right away, I want to see how do I feel after days later, today is fourth day, I still feel my back is lighter and relaxed... Very high quality service with affordable price, highly recommend;) read more

I love this place. Every time I've called I've gotten same day appointment. The staff are all great at massaging but my favorite are Zeno and Rose. read more

Best massage for the price! Expect a "hurt so good" deep tissue massage and killer foot massage but dont expect a fancy spa experience... and you'll be satisfied! read more

Great place! The staff was very nice the place was attractive and clean. Unfortunately, we arrived late for our appointments and they couldn't have been nicer. I took the family for a post Christmas treat and it was enjoyed by all. I'll be back. read more

Great massage, friendly staff, and excellent service. As a student, I highly recommend this place if you need to de-stress. The prices are very affordable. read more

Very clean, creative spa. Free street parking is a plus point. It's a good place to get professional massage, release the tension and relax...great hands-pressing on right spot. Feel invigorating after one hour session! Highly recommend :) read more

I had a great experience for my first visit to Smiling Sole. The staff was consistently helpful, friendly and attentive. I got the 60 minute Combo massage treatment and it left me feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The space was clean and soothingly decorated. Also street parking was easy to find; always a plus. I'll definitely be returning to Smiling Sole! read more

I really like this place I've been here 4 times. The first three times Jack did my massage and the last time Rose did it. They are both amazing! I do the $45 massage and I love it. I feel like they are not rushed like at other foot massage places. The pressure they use is firm- awesome! If you like back rubs (instead of deep massages) just tell them I'm sure they don't mind putting less effort into your massage ;). Remember to wear loose fitting clothes when you go! read more

This place is great! The massages offered run the typical range, and the price is very fair. Both Melody and Zeno are really good at what they do, performing deep tissue, sports, or whatever massage you prefer. They are very friendly, and the service is always exceptional. I would highly recommend to everyone. read more

I've been to many Chinese reflexology places in Chicago and my longtime favorite has been Fit Foot on Clybourne, but I tried Smiling Sole after finding it on Groupon. It was great and much closet to me than Fit Foot. It is located on a pretty seedy block of Western just off Taylor, but the inside is clean and serene. I didn't catch the name of the guy who worked on me, but he gave a great massage. In many of these places, the massage therapist seems to just doing the massage by rote without any understanding of musculature, etc., but he really new what he was doing. It combines various techniques, including some reminiscent of Thai massage. Highly recommended. read more

I finally found the perfect place for a deep tissue massage. I had been thru so many places that promise good service but, when it came to it they did not deliver. Trust me, you when you walk out of here you will be satisfied just as I was. Rose, has magic hands and she really worked on the tight spots that I needed help with. The ambience of the place is so relaxing too. If you are looking for a good massage and still haven't decided on one, stop looking and call to schedule your appointment with Smiling Sole, you won't regret it. I already made my second appointment, and looking forward to it. read more

its your typical chinese foot massage place. my mom, bro & i came here when they first opened so it was only $28 for an hour. unfortunately they could only do 2 massages at a time. my mom said she didnt want one anyway so it worked out for us but i still wouldve liked them to have accommodated her. im not in this area often but if i am & want a massage, i'd definitely come back. read more

Very clean, quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Rose , who was my massage therapist was very good! The hot stones on the back were relaxing and they added the finishing touch to a great relaxing body massage. One of the best , professional massages I ever got ! read more

I'm really glad I found this place! I've been going up north to get foot massages, but because I enjoyed the massage (thanks Rose!), the ambiance, the location, ease of finding parking and cost, I'm switching to this place. The massage was amazing. Wish I would have found this place earlier. Highly recommend. read more

I came here for a 60 minute foot reflexology not knowing what to expect. The place is clean and very peaceful. Not only do you get a foot massage but you get a massage for your scalp, back, and arms. My experience was amazing! I almost feel asleep 20 minutes in; that's how relaxed I was. They are currently running a special for 60 minutes for $25. The service was excellent and the price cannot be beat. Everyone was very sweet and welcoming. I will be back and this time will bring friends! read more

Amazing customer service. Melody is wonderful. This was my first massage ever, will definitely be a repeat customer, seriously wonderful place!! read more

I went to Smiling Sole with a group of friends. We got Combo which means 5 minutes head, 30 minutes feet, and 30 minutes real waist up body massage. With hot stone on feet and back. It was way better than some of the massages I've had at more expensive spas. You don't have to tell them where your painful spots are, they can figure it out. After one hour session, my stiff back totally relaxed!!!Such a wonderful service with great deal. I will definitely be back!!! read more

So happy to discover this great new business in our neighborhood. I have had lots of massages and this was one of the best! I will definitely be going back on a regular basis and will encourage my neighbors to try it as well. I wish them much success! read more

BEST EVER!!! I would have rated it 10 stars if I could. I was in Chicago attending a convention at McCormack Place and after walking the site on concrete floors for 2 days, I needed help. I've had a hip problem for a while and have seen chiropractors, physical therapists, ART and body balancing specialists (over 15 in total) and none had the positive effect that my massage did at Smiling Sole. The masseuse actually listened to my problem and concentrated on it during our session (not my experience at other places). While SS highly promotes reflexolgy, their full body is outstanding!! My experience felt like a combo of Thai, deep tissue and sport massage. I have been back to SS every trip to Chicago and only wish I lived 2,000 miles closer so I could visit on a more frequent basis. Next session I plan on them helping my golf flexibility along with my hip. Outside of my "10 stars" experience, the space is new inside and very clean. read more
