It was my day off, and I was on the verge of tears with my back/neck pain and aching feet. I've never paid more than $50 for a massage in NYC, but I was desperate and I needed something close by that I could get an appointment at today because I've literally been non-functional all day. Suchada answered my phone call and offered availability within 30 minutes. I didn't know what to get from their long list of options, but explained that I had back/neck pain but I'm very sensitive to pressure. I was recommended the Swedish massage, and I opted to get it for 1.5 hours. They told me there was a first time customer discount ($149 instead of $185). The space is very calming and there was a station with orange-infused cold water, which was nice. Jess, my masseuse, was professional and amazing. All the stress and tension in my body melted away, and I tried to fight it but fell asleep during parts of the massage because it was so relaxing. I did find it a bit colder than I would've liked (but I run cold; I prefer temperatures of 74-78 degrees) but it was fine. I liked that the warm towels used to wipe my body of oil were scented. Now that I'm looking at these Yelp reviews, I'm sad that they did not tell me that there's a dry sauna I could've used :( But I otherwise had an amazing experience and I walked out completely rejuvenated. Very worth it. As a note, they apparently offer 15% off Mondays to Thursdays currently. I saw someone in front of me get upset that they do not stamp the loyalty card if there's a discount on the service.

I booked a 90-minute full body massage and was warmly welcomed by Pat at the front desk. He was very friendly, professional, and gave great advice before the session. The space itself is very clean, beautifully decorated, and has a calm, relaxing atmosphere. My massage therapist, Luna, was absolutely incredible--very professional, focused, and attentive to detail. Her pressure was perfect, and she really concentrated throughout the session. I've been having numbness in my right arm, and somehow, she managed to relieve the problem completely. It was the best massage I've had in a long time

After repeatedly asking her to be gentler, she didn't comply and kept on using her body weight against me and elbow to press harder.

I had to push tell her off and she pinned my neck against the bed and using her body weight and elbow to massage my neck.

I have been getting monthly massages from Ronit for about 4 months now. I can confidently say Ronit…read moreenjoys what she does. She genuinely cares about her clients and tailors each specific session to her client's needs. My first meeting with Ronit, she wanted to know everything that was ailing me. She let me know what her methods were and how everything is tailored to fit my problem areas. She even goes above and beyond by teaching me about the different muscle groups and how they might be overstrained during my workouts. Most recently, she has sent me an email to incorporate stretches into my workouts in hopes of relieving my chronic back pain. I cannot say enough about the way Ronit handles her clients and she genuinely loves what she does. I highly recommend her if you are in the area. Her rates are competitive compared to any other full body massage therapist in the city so feel free to give her a call!

I glad I was solo, made it easier being comfortable being nude. Lots of amenities to glam up before leaving. It was calm and quiet when I arrived, and got busier as I was leaving. Staff was great, and made me feel comfortable and welcomed. They explained everything and answered questions with a smile. The place was super clean and staff actively removed used towels/swept throughout my stay. A good scrub, felt like a symboloc ritual for shedding the old for the new. I now have baby soft skin!

After the body scrub they wrap your body in a foil while they shampoo your hair and apply a face mask. The spa is small but has the essentials: sauna room, steam room, cold plunge, and jacuzzi.

There was no smell to the oil, and I was expecting one with the description of the service. I plan to return and this was a solid choice for a relaxing and therapeutic massage!

Finding a massage place you can truly trust in SF is harder than it should be. Between questionable…read moreambience and not knowing what you're walking into, it can feel like a gamble. Siam Orchid on Polk takes all of that uncertainty off the table. The moment you walk in, the interior does the work. Wood paneling, soft music, and a space that's clearly been thoughtfully designed to transport you somewhere calm. You're in relaxed mode before you even lay down. One thing that stood out to me: you pay after the massage. That tells you everything about how seriously they take their craft. I've tried several services here including the traditional Thai, Swedish combo, Thai aroma, and hot stone. All of them were exceptional. My recommendation on timing: 90 minutes is the sweet spot. Over an hour is a must, and two hours was a bit much for me personally. Pricing is fair for the quality, and they offer a small cash discount if you bring it. They also have water, tea, and a lovely bathroom, which sounds like a small thing but adds to the overall experience. This is not a cheap random massage parlor. This is the place you go when you actually want to release muscle tension and leave feeling restored. My go-to in the city. If you can't find an appointment at the Polk st location the Taylor st one is just as good too!

I walked out feeling so mobile and relaxed... on an extreme note, I also want to add that I feel like I was on a different planet. Anya is seriously skilled and talented. Every touch, movement and amount of pressure felt intentional. At one point, I felt like I could walk on water because my body became liquid. No-- that would mean I felt like I BECAME water!! It was somehow a physical, mental, spiritual and emotional experience. This sounds really dramatic but Im being so for real!!! Definitely the best massage I've ever had, and I've had a lot. I'm on my way home after 10 cups of their bael tea and still don't know what sorcery I entered. Was I massaged or reborn? Maybe I'll keep adding to this review log to track my journey at Bhuddha Raksa-- everyone needs to know about this magical little oasis in the City.

As active people we often have various aches and pains; it seemed like a double win to get massages and also learn how to better give them to each other. Another couple we are good friends with joined us. Alexis reached out ahead of the session to solicit our ideas for the time together and make sure we were fully prepared. When she arrived she immediately set a relaxed, joyful, loving mood. She taught us both a seated, neck/shoulder massage and a more immersive, laying down full back massage with oil. With our small group she provided regular 1:1 feedback, which was very helpful. She also kept it low stress and fun for all. Since the session we have continued to practice some of what we learned. The seated massage techniques are especially easy to incorporate into even a weeknight evening. It was freeing to learn a few easy moves that are consistently well-received. I would strongly recommend Alexis. She is a lovely, warm, talented instructor.
