I had the opportunity to visit Spa Siam Orchid yesterday evening. When you walk in you are greeted by friendly staff and a wonderful aroma that puts you immediately in a relaxing space. The spa was very clean and beautifully decorated. I went with the current Swedish Massage special and enjoyed every minute. Diana was an incredible masseuse, she paid attention to my problem areas. I left feeling so much better than when I arrived. Thank you again, Diana, very grateful for your wonderful service. read more

I've been to Spa Siam twice already and both experiences were amazing! The moment you walk in it feels like you're stepping into a spa at a nice hotel. The space is so calming, clean, and relaxing. Right away, you get that luxury spa experience. Both times I had different masseuses, and each one was amazing in their own way. They were professional and attentive, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the massage. The staff are overall really welcoming and the space feels peaceful and well-maintained. I'll definitely keep coming back and would highly recommend Spa Siam if you're looking for a relaxing, high-quality massage experience. read more

4/5 Stars - Amazing First Massages, But the Staff Tension Was Hard to Ignore I want to preface this by saying that my boyfriend and I had never had professional massages before, and after yesterday, we both wish we would have done this sooner! Our appointments were at 5:00 PM, and the front desk seemed to be running a tad behind. Unfortunately, they didn't communicate the delay when we checked in. The lobby environment felt a bit stressed out; one of the hostesses was actually yelling, which definitely took away from the relaxation portion of the waiting experience. We were finally taken back to our rooms around 5:10 PM, at which point the staff acknowledged the delay and thanked us for our patience. Our masseuses arrived shortly after and started the session with a foot scrub that felt absolutely luxurious. We booked 1-hour Swedish massages. About 10 to 15 minutes into the session, our relaxation was interrupted by other masseuses shouting and arguing in the hallway. It lasted for what felt like a few minutes, and that lack of consideration is the main reason I'm deducting a star. People visit a spa to unwind, not to hear staff frantically screaming and yelling outside the door. That being said, the massage itself was fantastic. I wish I had noted my masseuse's name because she was absolutely amazing. She checked in consistently to ensure the pressure was exactly to my liking. I also loved that during check-in, they ask for your desired target areas. Working a desk job leaves my neck, shoulders, and forearms incredibly tense, and she did a phenomenal job focusing on those exact spots. They offer so many different types of treatments that we honestly can't wait to go back and try something else. We are just hopeful that next time the environment will be a little more peaceful and a lot less loud! read more

I recently decided to take a random day off and was thinking about doing a massage when Yelp dropped a perfectly timed email about spa days. I thought I had clicked on the local spa highlights collection and the top 2 were Bay Area, when I realized I was in the Top 50 in the US collection! And Spa Siam Orchid was #2! I checked for available reservations on a Friday morning and very easily made an appointment for a 90 min Volcanic Stone Massage ($210+ tax and tip). I knew what to expect having read other yelp reviews - check in on an iPad and you get called for your massage. No associated saunas/hot room. I was offered water or tea at the start. When I was called and brought to my room, I was asked to change into a robe (masseuse left the room) and to start soaking my feet in a warm water bath - my masseuse Yumi did a nice, gentle scrub on my feet and then asked me to remove the robe and get under blankets (again leaving the room to give me privacy). I had asked for more attention to my upper back and shoulders, and requested medium pressure - Yumi definitely paid that attention to those areas and checked in with me several times to check that the pressure amount was suitable. It was soooo relaxing - nearly fell asleep! I had never gotten a hot stone massage and I'm not entirely sure how they normally go, but I enjoyed them when they were applied - the stones were smooth and if not for the temperature change, I don't think I would've been able to tell if it was stone or Yumi's strong but smooth hands. I did feel bruised later that day and the following day but that's pretty normal for massages for me. Overall, fantastic experience although a little pricey - a nice splurge every now and then! read more

Spa Siam Orchid - Massage Near Me - San Mateo, California

The hubby surprised me with a massage appointment for my birthday. It was our first time here and I was impressed by the decor and aesthetics of the entire place. I was greeted by the gal at the front desk. She was kind, professional and offered me water. I completed a short questionnaire/waiver prior to my appt. My massage therapist was Josie. When I got to my room, I was shown baskets to leave my persona belongings and shoes. I changed into a robe and dipped my feet in a bowl of perfectly warm water. I got a quick foot and leg scrub before laying down on the warm massage table. I had a 90 mins Swedish massage- it was pure bliss. Josie's medium pressure was perfect and she adjusted her pressure on areas that were tender for me. I loved her technique. I really needed the full body massage today. After getting massaged with massage oil, she wiped my body down with warm towels. Highly recommend this spa and will definitely be back! Oh- please check out the restrooms. They are gorgeous! Heated Toto toilets, beautiful shower, etc. read more

I wasn't sure what to rate this place. I walked in and the greeting wasn't friendly at all. No smile, just this look like I walked in and was bothering the gal sitting at the front desk. I told her that I had an appointment for a couples massage. She told me that I didn't have an appointment. I realized that I had accidentally made an appointment at another place. I apologized and asked if there were any appointments available. Again, no smile...she checked and she looks at me to tell me there's no appointments available till later in the evening. Well after that warm and cheerful greeting I decided not to even book an appointment. To walk into a place and to be treated like that ....No thanks! I've been to many spa's and I've never been treated like that before. I've decided to try another spa in Burlingame. read more

Went to this place on a whim based on reviews. Got the Siam Ritual Special with medium strength, which was a foot scrub, full body massage, and scalp massage. My hubs and I both don't get massages often, so both Vivian and Natty out masseuses focused on our backs and upper shoulders. We both left in pain when their elbows dug into the curvature of our spines. Maybe we should've gotten soft massages. The foot scrub took up part of the time of the massage, so I'd skip this next time because it didn't seem to do much. The scalp massage was ~2 mins maybe? Ambiance: this place is beautiful. Someone definitely came through and thoughtfully designed every inch of this place. Definitely top 10 of the fanciest-looking/well-decorated bathrooms I've ever seen. I'd come back and maybe be a little more to directive with what I want in the future. read more

My boyfriend and I visited Spa Siam last weekend for the first time and I will definitely be back. This location is in downtown San Mateo so parking can be a bit difficult especially on the weekends. Upon entering the establishment, the smell was so therapeutic. The receptionist greeted you immediately and got us checked in right away. They offered us some drinks from their mini bar. There's two floors here and they have massage rooms in both floors. The massage rooms were really cozy. I did their Soothing Balm Massage for one hours and my boyfriend did one of their deep tissue massage package. I enjoyed everything about my message except the part where my masseuse almost burnt my neck with the balm they were using. The reason why she almost burnt was because I had a necklace on and she was pressing the balm on my neck where my necklace was sitting. Heat and metal don't go together clearly and I kept on telling her it hurts but she kept on doing it. I would just hope they either ask everyone to remove all jewelry or be mindful of that cause it really hurt. This massage is more relaxing, which I enjoyed. My boyfriend also said he enjoyed his massage and got all the knots he wanted out. He did say he wished they spent more time on his feet but we would have to get a different package for that. This is a good place to go to and I highly recommend them. read more

Spa Siam Orchid - Waiting area - Massage Near Me - San Mateo, California

Once again, this place is still amazing! I previously went to their Walnut Creek location, for one of the best hot stone massages I'd had in a long time. A few days after that, I received an invite to try out their new location in San Mateo. Challenge gladly accepted! The communication for booking the appointment was great. I had to postpone a couple of times due to my schedule, but she was very supportive and accommodating. The new location is located in the heart of downtown, surrounded by several shops and eateries. When you first walk in, you immediately feel peaceful. The soft scented aroma in the air and the sound of relaxing music playing in the background. I was greeted with a pleasant and welcoming smile. I've had many different types of massages, so when she suggested I try a Thai massage, I said sure why not! I was escorted to the room by this friendly petite masseuse. Eh, this won't be that bad, she's tiny (thinking to myself). She starts off with a foot a soak and calf massage. Marvelous! Then she had me lay flat on my stomach and started the gentle massage I was expecting. Then she asked if she could step on my back? Ummm..this is different, but ok sure! Slow relaxing footsteps up and down my legs and back (feeling awesome, but wait for it), like a little monkey, to full fledged gorilla strength beat down!! Good gawd!! How did all this torture come out of this tiny woman and her toes ?! I'm almost sure she did a big toe and elbow combination at the same time on my tense back muscles lol. She definitely proved her skill level. My back feels 3x's better and loser than before. I love it here! Thanks ladies for two great experiences. See again soon! read more

My husband has come to Spa Siam at least four times over the past two months. He encouraged me to come by. Since we didn't work on Veterans' Day, and my husband had a recent birthday, I decided to make the day our couples massage day. I reached out to Spa Siam via Yelp, and I got a response in under two minutes. Within 10 minutes, and appointment was booked. The day before I got a call to confirm the appointment. Upon arrival, we were greeted and we filled out our intake forms. I got a deep tissue massage and my husband got the Sia Orchid Ritual. Once my massage therapist, LaLa, got started I knew that I should've booked a longer massage. Sixty minutes was not enough! LaLa's pressure was firm and perfect. She did a fantastic job on my neck, shoulders, hands, and feet. She even attempted to massage my scalp (I say attempt because I wear braids in my hair). Oh! They started the massage with a foot soap and scrub. Loved it! I had a great experience here. The space is decorated beautifully, it is clean, and it is totally relaxing. I can't wait to return! read more

The prettiest Thai spa in the Bay Area! My husband booked the Siam Style Foot Massage. This includes a foot soak, scrub, exfoliation, followed by a pressure point massage of the legs and feet to improve circulation and removes energy blockages. I booked the Siam Orchid Balm Herbal Retreat. This includes a foot soak, scrub, and exfoliation, followed by a combination of pressure massage with Thai balm. Lastly, stretching and heated herbal Prakob compress is applied, to reduce muscular soreness and improve circulation. ‍ We were able to get both services together in the same room. It was our first visit, but it definitely won't be our last. Can't wait to go back! ‍‍ read more

I prebooked to get a 1 hour couple's massage as a little post wedding treat. Staff are all very friendly. The environment is nice and soothing. The place is well upkept.

Excellent Thai Massage here. The establishment is highly professional, clean, and fairly large. Reminds me of the Let's Relax chain in Bangkok. In case if you're not familiar with Thai Massage, it's a fairly firm massage with some stretching. In fact, if you want the practitioner will stand on you to apply maximum pressure. You start with a complimentary tea and then asked to change into some special clothing to facilitate the massage. You also get a nice foot bath to start. The overall massage was great especially if you like firm massages with lots of pressure! read more

First time getting a thai massage! I was a bit nervous going in, but everyone was so welcoming and nice. After filling out the paperwork, I was greeted my masseuse (Margie). I wrote soft pressure and she did exactly that. My main problem area is shoulder & back and she def spent a lot of time on it and got out some of the knots. Asked me a couple times, if the pressure was good. Overall the massage was relaxing and my shoulders felt looser. There's a table filled with little goodies like chocolate and candy that you can get after the massage too. Overall, this is a super clean and relaxing place! Would come back for another massage! read more

Excellent staff and service. We got the deep tissue couples massage and it was exactly what we were looking for to start off the new year after a hectic couple of weeks over the holidays. Nice calming room, and they start you off with a foot rub. As it was deep tissue, I really wanted some extra pressure to get at the really bad spots. There were a few times when my masseuse was working on my back where she'd accidently roll over the muscle really hard as she came up my shoulder blade and over to my shoulder. That definitely hurt, but once I mentioned it she apologized and immediately worked the spot in a different way. read more

I've always love Siam Orchid and always try to go with my husband to their Walnut Creek location for birthdays/anniversaries. This was our first time at the San Mateo location and we did a couple's Thai massage. The place was beautiful, spotless and just glamorous (not in the stressful kind of way though). First, we checked in at the front desk, filled out our info/signed the waiver on the iPads. Then we used the restrooms (which were beautiful with toilets that open by themselves and have seat warmers lol). Lastly, we were shown to the room where we would proceed to enjoy one hour of pure bliss. There are cubbies to put our things in, also hangers to hang shirts on, which was nice. The massage tables were heated and the pants were so comfortable that I really wanted a pair to take home for my daily wardrobe lol. Kimberly and Emma took care of us and we started with a foot soak/scrub. Then we proceeded to be stepped on, twisted, stretched and hot toweled. Both of the massage therapists checked in during the massage to make sure the pressure level was to our likings and if the temperature of the table was okay. We both felt very well taken care of and relaxed. The visit ended with cups of hot tea, chocolate kisses and a warm goodbye. Experience was 10/10. Would definitely continue to recommend Siam Orchid to everyone! read more

This was my first Thai massage and it was sooo incredible!!! As soon as you walk in, you're hit with relaxation!! You check in at the front desk and they'll give you an iPad to state what pains you have and the focus areas. The bathroom / shower is super nice. There's some tea and water and little cookies to snack on. My mom and I both got massages in the same room. I did the hot stone massage and she got the aroma massage. Both were fantastic, I loved mine & she loved hers. They start with a foot wash/ massage and it just kicks things off so nicely. If you don't know, Thai massage includes them walking / crawling on your back, doing some stretching with your legs and it just all feels so magical. Afterwards my mom and I were talking about how good we felt, she had shoulder pain from the computer that was gone and even days after I still feel so loose and good!! Staff is so sweet and nice, I can't wait to come back!! Also great location down town sam Mateo. I went on a Sunday morning at 10 and there was parking down on the street but I could see it getting busier later on. Such a nice area to go get a coffee & croissant after your massage! read more

Spa Siam Orchid is THAT place. I've been here twice, and both visits delivered in very different (but equally amazing) ways. The first time, I came with my girlfriend for a traditional Thai massage -- and let me just say... we absolutely paid to get beat up . In the best way possible. No oils, you wear the provided clothes, and it's all stretching, pulling, and deep pressure. Every knot, ounce of stress, bad energy, and tension in my body was worked out... and then some. I walked out feeling lighter, looser, and spiritually reset. Recently, I went back for their aromatherapy massage, which was a totally different experience but just as good. This one is more detoxing and soothing -- warm oils, calming scents, and a massage that really awakens your senses (especially smell). It's relaxing, grounding, and perfect if you're looking to unwind versus being stretched into a pretzel. On top of the massages, the service is outstanding. The ladies at Spa Siam Orchid are so friendly and welcoming. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, you truly feel the hospitality and care. And honestly? There's a reason they're ranked one of the best in the Bay Area. If you're looking for real Thai massage done right -- whether you want deep, intense work or a calming sensory experience -- this is the place. Highly recommend. Will absolutely be back. read more

Spa Siam Orchid is a sister spa to my usual favorite; Siam Orchid in Walnut Creek. I can see this location appealing to a different client than the Walnut Creek spa, or even for a different occasion. Spa Siam feels more like a getaway spa day with its grand open foyer giving more of a luxe feel versus the Walnut Creek location is more of an approachable homey Thailand feel. One is girls day out, one is couples massage on a Thursday. Ultimately I'd say TRY BOTH! Parking: Beautiful facility with a nearby parking garage or metered street parking Facility: Modern meets tranquil decor, Selfie worthy wash rooms, Bright open foyer/waiting room with fresh floral accents. Treatment Room: The massage beds were incredibly comfortable and well dressed Service: We did the 1 hour couples aroma which was a blend of Thai and Swedish massage Service: We did the 1 hour couples aroma which is a blend of Thai and Swedish massage. Our masseuses were communicative throughout the experience from what to dress down to (lovely robes) what to do first (sit and place feet in wash basins with oils and rose petals) and of course about massage pressure and any specific areas needing attention. I can get anxious in new places or experiences so I really appreciated the clear direction! The massages were intuitive and they each focused on something different, picking up on where we carried tension. I didn't notice any particular scents used during the service- sometimes you smell tiger balm which I love but I don't believe that was used in this service. Will have to request next time! The gal working the front desk was amazingly sweet and professional and was lovely at every touch point from arrival to departure! read more

Overall a relaxing experience. We were 10 minutes late but they were so accommodating.

Their massage therapists were great. Checked in with us during the massage to ask if pressure was good. Very professional. Rooms were clean. Music was at the right volume. Just a positive experience. Would highly recommend to others! read more

This places ooozes luxury! There are beautiful, fresh flowers in the lobby and real plants in the loo. The wall paper, tile and music is classy and elevated. Tea, water and treats are served in the lobby, too. I purchased the 90 minutes Swedish package and my review is a four instead of five only because this is not the type of massage I have come to know as Swedish. I have had dozens of swedish massages in my life. I won't say my therapist's name because she was nice, friendly and efficient, just didnt offer the technique I had expected of a Swedish massage. My service consisted of JUST elbows and forearms, so maybe it's more thai? I have never had one. I know Swedish to be a more hands-on massage with kneading, long, gliding strokes with the full hand, knot work and no elbow work. So, it was a bummer when my hour of massage was something unexpected. BUT, they wash your feet by hand before, offer a warm heating pad for your back, oil you up and then use a warm towel to wipe you off between body parts and provide a weighted eye mask. Truly lovely offerings and experience in terms of hospitality and vibes. I think if I had liked/wanted the type of massage I received, this would have been a 10/10. I still tipped 20% cause she worked hard and was so, so nice. read more

I randomly stumbled upon this massage place on TikTok, and I'm so glad I did. From the moment you walk into the lobby, it feels luxurious. The spa's interior design was well thought out. The receptionist was friendly and greeted us immediately, setting an excellent tone for the experience. They have you fill out a waiver and your massage preferences (like pressure level) on an iPad, which feels modern and efficient. The restroom looks like something from a 5-star hotel, with a heated toilet seat, a large shower, and elegant design. The entire facility feels clean and serene, and I especially loved the couple's massage room. The experience started with a foot soak and a mini foot massage and scrub, which I found unique and relaxing. They also provide a robe and slippers, adding to the high-end feel. We opted for the 1-hour deep tissue massage at $150 per person, and honestly, I wish we had chosen the 90-minute option because it was that good. I left the massage parlor already wanting to book another session. They offered you a cup of tea at the end, which was a nice touch. Street meter parking is available. Check this place out if you're in the area. I was also told they have multiple locations, so I'll be visiting again. read more
