3/28/26. Hidden gem. Excellent, wow. My first time. Mary communicated with me via phone call then a text reminder the morning of my appointment. She was welcoming and friendly when I arrived. $60/hour. Semi private rooms. Clean, simple, skilled therapists. Exactly what I was hoping for. A big thank you to Jenny, my masseuse. Incredibly intuitive and strong. Didn't need to say much because she just knew. She found and paid extra attention to all the kinks in my shoulders and neck. Applied hot stones as well. Definitely will be back! read more

Great massage and excellent service. The staff are very friendly and the prices are reasonable. I have shoulder and neck pain from long-term work, which often causes headaches, and the massage really helped. I felt much more comfortable afterward. I plan to come here weekly. Highly recommend! read more

Superior Massage - They are info - Massage Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Not to sound like a total schmuck but I've been to every massage place in the world. From the spa at the Roosevelt to Swedish massage in Sweden. Sketchy spots with no signs on the lower east side. The Kilolani spa at the Grand Weilea Maui. Foot spas in Xi'an China. Dumb hippies in Ojai. The list goes on. Some places suck, some places feel great, but almost none provide real lasting results. Superior massage on Van Nuys is a gem. I have legitimate back issues and aroma therapy doesn't cut it. For around $1 a minute there isn't a better deal in Los Angeles. They can re align your shoulder blades, neck and spine by walking on your back. Their experience and technique is second to none. They have released compressed discs that sports chiropractors have had no luck with. Continue limping around or go see Mary. Thank God for Superior Massage. read more

If you're looking for a deep tissue massage that actually works,look no further! I've been dealing with lower back pain for weeks, after just one session here,the pain was significantly reduced.the therapist took the time to ask about my specific issue and customized the massage to fit my needs.the space is spotless,and the linens are always fresh.10/10 would recommend! read more

Excellent massage from start to finish. The therapist really knew how to release tension and tailor the pressure to my needs. I left feeling relaxed and refreshed. Will definitely come back! read more

Megan has a gift! Her body and foot massages were on point! She worked out some gnarly knots. I felt relaxed yet not exhausted afterwards and not sore at all the next day. read more

Summer is the best masseuse. She really knows the muscles and works slowly but strongly. I will definitely be asking for her again. Just not sure the masseuses will continue at the same place. Every time I find someone I like, they move on. Hopefully, Summer will stick around! read more

Very clean & quiet place . professional & well trained massage therapist. I have been coming to Superior massage for the last 10 years or more. I usually see Mary when she is available. Never have had to wait when having an appointment. Always feel relaxed & relieved from pain or tightness after receiving the message. read more

When I tell you I have gotten several massages at all price ranges I can truly say this is a great bang for your buck. The women who are working here are extremely friendly, professional and know what they are doing. Don't expect your typical same massage for all they truly tailor to your needs. I didn't even get a chance to point out my trouble areas before she told me about my sciatic pain. it is really worth to get this best massage! Thanks. read more

I have been coming here for years. It is a Great place! Reasonably priced and great masseuses.

It was fine. The massage was good, nothing crazy. Felt more like a body rub than anything. If you come here, just know a tip of $10 MINIMUM is expected. They will demand more. I wouldn't return nor would I recommend. read more

it was amazing and super nice, the service was really good and the prices are pretty nice

heleit is amazing, I have had a lot of experience with the massage culture in LA and this was the best experience yet!

Amazing massage. Top notch for the price. Went here after trying many other places. Thought I might be in the right spot and it turned out to be true .. read more

The massage was actually great I did 90 minutes. The two ladies switch on me at the time of the massage, it's funny but can be scary at the same time. Gave her $20 and got an attitude from her, and my money taking from my hand. No sure if I'll go back read more

My massage lady was nice, but used TOOOO much elbow. Too much elbow to the point that she kept elbowing my neck as she did my shoulders. Had no plan on which body parts to hit so i had to keep pointing out that she missed the left/right side of whichever body part she was doing at the time. Also used too much oil. It was difficult to tell her what I needed changed because she did not speak English, so I gave up halfway through the massage When I told the receptionist about my experience, she told me I should have told her so she could switch out my masseuse. Unrealistic considering I was oiled up and basically naked the entire time - how was I supposed to go up to reception? Also demanded I give a bigger tip despite telling her I didn't have a good time. Won't be coming back. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Just had an hour full body massage/deep tissue/hot stone ($60) a while ago. I told the front desk about the exact location of my back pain and true enough massage therapist, Jenny, targeted the said area. I heard an alarm which means an hour of service was applied. Hot stone massage and knuckle cracking were a plus. Jenny smiled at me when a $20 tip was given. Front Desk was very accommodating. I believe she owns the place. Forgot to ask her name. 3 slots parking at the back of the building. The rest belongs to Domino's Pizza. I highly recommend this place. Can't wait to come back soon. read more

I was surprised when I looked on Yelp and this place had only 3.5 stars. I would never try it because of it but since our regular place was fully booked we said it's better then nothing and boy we had such a great time! It's amazing place and we will start going there only from now one Very professional massage and for the value of the money it's a super deal. For $50 u get one hour massage that for me and my wife was better then Burk Wiliams. I'm pretty sure it's under new management so definitely worth a shot. read more

We moved from SoCal 4 years ago. Recently we were visiting SoCal and I was happy to add Superior Massage to our itinerary. I got two hours with Coco and my wife was next door. We were both thoroughly excited with our experience. Mary and Peter run a great shop. Coco has been there for 10 years so that says a lot. Superior is a great place to relax. read more

It's been years since I've been to this old fave massage place in the Valley. I brought my friend this time and we raved about our massages after the 1 hr sessions we bought. What used to be $35ish is now $40, but that's more the reflection of times we're in. But - still worth it! The lady who massaged me had a goldilocks touch I wanted - not too soft or hard, just right! My friend had a guy masseuse and she said he was also very thorough and had the harder touch she needed vs a woman masseuse. I might have drooled when she worked on the tension and knots on my neck and back, my arms and I might have went to dreamland when my feet were being massaged. The place is clean and quiet with the usual zen music in the background. The restroom is kept clean so they got it all together. Got a feeling we shall return. read more

Love this place!! They are very sweet and they give the best massages in town for the best price! I go as often as I need to

Massage was rough and the lady was demanding a tip after I told her her I wasn't going to tip because I didn't enjoy it. On top of that it was not even one hour long! Should of gone to Burke Williams. Never again. read more

Pros- Massage was really good Cons- they make you pay as soon as you come in, which is weird. Also, I gave the lady a $6 tip, which for a $20 foot massage I believed reasonable. She was so upset and ask me for $10! She took me to the front to pay more and I didn't have more cash. No one was able to explain to me what was happening and the guy at the front show no interest on talking to me (also, there is a language barrier- no English) He shush me away because he was watching TV on his phone. He told something to the lady in another language and she left super upset.! Now, I am reading other reviews about the $10 minimum tip!! this is not posted anywhere in the building or menu and they have no website, but apparently is true. $10 is a 50% tip for a $20 foot massage! Even though the massage was good, I left more stressed out than before the massage. read more

This place is amazing! I got a one hour Swedish massage last minute and it was perfect! Thanks so much!

Horrible! Do not to go to this establishment. I will be calling the board. They are not licensed they are not professionals not even on a experience basis. This was what you call a massage parlor not a massage studio. I went with my girlfriend we got the couples massage just for the foot reflexology arms neck face and head I told her I did not want face neck or head so just arms feet and legs.The entire massage she did the exact same move on every body part with excessive pressure. At one point my girlfriend gave her masseuse directions on how to properly massage her legs and she still could not do it and she had to ask her to stop. They chitchat the entire time and the both of us were being hopeful thinking maybe at the end of this will feel nice and relaxed we are currently headed to another massage spa for a real massage. And as we were leaving out I knew I wasn't going to Tip I knew my girlfriend was not going to tip it as we were saying thank you to walk out she practically grabbed us and said you need to leave at least five dollars for tip. I told her that was horrible, absolutely not girl goodbye. DO NOT GO TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT. PLEASE BEWARE. IF MASSAGE IS NOT PROPERLY DONE THEY CAN INJURE YOU. read more

Wish I could leave 0 stars. This is not a bash review but a totally honest one for a place that used to get good massages here pre pandemic and when Coco was around. Mediocre massage which was totally lame. I paid $45 for the massage and gave $5 tip. I was then harassed about paying a $10 tip. It is not worth spending your money here. Go somewhere better where you are not harassed for more tips when you already left one on the charge slip. Totally rude people who harass you for more money after the fact and ruined any little bit of zen that I did have. Don't waste your money here. GO SOMEWHERE BETTER!!!!! read more

Not the best but also not the worst. What I was a fan of: - Nice Staff - Relatively relaxing - Semi Private rooms - Inexpensive - Despite being pregnant, they accommodated - My massage woman was great (I don't know her name though but she greeted us at the desk when we entered). What I wasn't a fan of: - Location isn't wonderful - The massage tables/chairs are janky (my friend and I shared a room and I got a chair and she got a table- BOTH for foot massages. If I were her I would have been majorly uncomfortable). - The last 20 minutes or so, our massage ladies were talking to one another I would recommend this place but I also wouldn't, Ha! This was our second choice foot massage parlor after my favorite told me they didn't have any drop in appointments available! I'm glad I tried this place out though, or else, I would have always been curious! read more

Mary is the best! I highly recommend her style and technique. She gets all the knots and walks on your back with true grace. I can't never get anyone to crack my back, she did today. Cheap massage great massage! Please go see Mary asap if you need to be adjusted. read more

I never had a deep tissue massage before. Thought I need one since my back and shoulders ached like hell. I saw the Grand Opening sign so my husband and I walked in and was able to be attended to right away (without an appointment). Walking in there isn't a board or menu that has price options available. Just a letter-sized paper taped to the top of the receptionist desk. But $35 for an hour is not a bad deal at all! So there's the reception/waiting area. Then you walk through a door where there are massage beds for the feet massage. Walk a little further down and there's rows of the massage rooms. The rooms are partitioned with walls for privacy but there's no door - only a drape and no ceiling, so you can hear side chatter from all the other customers. So please limit the amount of talking, or at least whisper. The room is dimmed and there's soothing instrumental music playing. For the most part its quiet until you hear talking. I didn't catch the name of my massouse but she and all the other ladies were very welcoming, accommodating, and polite. Now my experience is a little different from my husband's because he LOVED his session. For me, because I never had a deep tissue, I didn't know what to expect and my deep tissue session was DEEP! HAHAHAHA! If I was a little more tough or if I had asked her to be a little more light with her elbows, heels (yes they step on you), then maybe it would have been more enjoyable. It wasn't a terrible massage.....she definitely worked out the kinks in some areas. But the next day I felt like I got beat up!! My upper back area felt more beat up than I felt before I walked in. Surprised I didn't get any bruises. I did, however, enjoy the leg, feet, and scalp massage. So if you like DEEP tissue and a lot of pressure on your muscles then this place is definitely for you. For now, Superior Massage is more like a 3.5 stars...I will come back and get the reflexology and feet massage. I think I can handle that at least! They provide parking in the back or there's metered parking on the street. ***Note*** Do not underestimate the strength of tiny, Asian women. read more

Superior Massage - Business card - Massage Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Great place. The $40 is worth the spent. I did spent another 20 for tip and it was money well spent. The massage was so relaxing and my masseuse made sure to work on all the knots I had. Cant wait to come back again. read more

Terrible massage. Don't waste your time or money. This establishment is not licensed. The police came by to ask for their license as I was paying and none of the ladies had or were able to show proof they had a license. No wonder why my massage was terrible. During my massage the lady kept taking breaks and coming in and out of the room as if that was okay. Next day I had bruises all over my body and I have been sore for a few days now. Not cool. Avoid this place at all cost. read more

Back still hurts because they dug in too deep. Elbows are good for some knots, but you know it was not done right when you have a headache after leaving. The bathroom was clean and they offered water afterwards. However, they also need to let people know about the $10 'minimum' tip. If you need money, just say so. I'm pretty philanthropic towards the needy; however, telling someone something is mandatory is grounds for people to look at the 100,000 other massage places in LA. read more

I've been here once before and I thought I remembered having a good massage. I called on short notice at 8pm on a Friday and they were able to accommodate. That's a plus for me. Big elephant in the room: why why why do you ask the customer to pay before the massage? They didn't demand a specific amount of tip the 1st time I went here. This 2nd time, it was a couples massage and they demanded $10 tip for the $40 massage. That's more than 20%. The massage was pretty good although they are a little too harsh on your back especially because they use their elbows a lot. The oil they used made me really itchy up to the next day even after a shower. Overall I felt really rushed. From being asked to prepare for the massage, to leaving. Not coming back. read more

Just got back home after trying Superior Massage for the 1st time. Prices are very reasonable and I had an outstanding masseuse who was quiet, calm, efficient and just KNEW what my muscles needed. Room was very clean, and, most importantly, they use REAL cotton sheets on the table, 100% cool clean white cotton sheets. This place is calm and organized and parking in back is free. Will go again ! read more

My neighborhood go to. Probably have had 20 massages here in a be last 18 months and with 1 exception absolutely what I needed for relief from too much Steadicam or handheld mopix camerawork. I recommend Coco or Eva if available for their precision healing techniques. It is a superior massage. Do 90 minutes, I find it takes that long to get the best results. I go for essential oil at $5 more. Not certain if that is really a difference but I'm worth it!! read more

Save yourself some money & go to a different place! Pay in full first before service!? If I can give this business -5 Star I would gladly do it! Unfortunately, the owner is Money hungry. How can you ask your Customer to pay in full first before you do your service. I walked in and asked to get a full body massage got in the room and undressed. The owner came back to the room and said I needed to pay first before I get a massage! I asked why? She said there have been many people who comes in and walk out without paying... Is this a fucken joke? It's obvious that they do lousy work. read more

I've been here 2 times now and both have been surprisingly great. This place is definitely not massage envy but for $50/hr, I'll take it. I really enjoyed my hot stone massage. The lady who did my massage was very eager and really worked on knots in my neck and shoulders. It was lovely. I recommend this place read more

My experience was horrible in this place and will tell you why. I have never seen such a bad service. They usually charge 40$ for regular massage. But they made discount 35$. BUT when i sign my check they asked me for tips. I was shocked a little bit. I said i will leave you in the end as cash. Message was just regular. Nothing special. Felt like i could make better by myself. During massage two girls were talking to each other, which is very annoying for me. But it is okay. We decided to give them 5$ for each girl to make them happy. But instead of that they asked me for 10$ tips for each. I was really disappointed. And they asked me to leave 10$ more in my check. So in total i left 20$ tips. Are you guys kidding me? Horrible massage and the WORST SERVICE EVER! read more

I love you, Coco! Really, I do! I went there late at night, I'm sure I was her last appointment and her maasage technique and the strength was the highlight of my birthday! As a seasoned esthetician, I use my body to perform my work and am on my feet 35 hours a week. It wasn't until her massage that I realized how congested my body is with unnecessary lactic acid. Im trying to go on a weekly basis because the price is unbeatable for the hard work she puts into my maasage. And for all those CHEAPSKATES complaining about giving a $10 tip, you're embarrassing! Stop it! Yes, people do try to walk out after services rendered as Ive seen it happen everywhere Ive ever worked in my trade. For them to ask for payment beforehand isn't a bad practice for being the small shop that they are. Keep on doing your good work Superior Massage and the second someone complains about paying for the service beforehand, refuse service. Their money isn't worth their sad-ass energy! Love you guys ! read more

If I could give this place -5 stars, I definitely would. First and foremost, it's probably the dirtiest place in LA. I live on Hollywood Blvd and even the street is much cleaner than their massage rooms. Then, the massage itself is terrible. I don't know who and how taught them to do massage, but they need to ask for a refund. My bones still ache so bad; I barely can move. I was said massage would be good for my poor back, but seems like it only made thing worse. Please, stay away from this place if you already have problems with bones and muscles. To be honest, I can tolerate dirt and terrible massage. But what I just can't stand is horrible service. First of all, I was asked to pay BEFORE I actually got the service. I was also asked to give them tips before massage! What? After they finished breaking my bones, I was free to go. But I decided to be a nice customer and leave some tips. $7 would be more than enough for this kind of "service", but they said "Oh, but the minimum is $10". I didn't have $10 cash so they wanted me to pay with my credit card. The result: I was charged $10 more for the most terrible service ever. read more
