Terrible experience. Would not recommend. Pricing not as advertised. Will charge you more for "deep tissue". It's a normal massage, at best. People sleeping/snoring in every other room. Horrible ambience. My masseuse fell asleep mid massage!! No joke. I wish I was kidding. Just fell asleep like everyone else there. Owner apparently says my masseuse tired and part time....but I pay full time pricing. When I go to pay, I am pressured to tip more than 15%. I normally wouldn't tip this type of service at all. Do not recommend read more

Okay where do I start.... First greeted unfriendly by the madam of a third world establishment.. she was wearing a mask and I now know why she hacked and coughed up phlegm through the whole massage and was sneezing .. did I mention mean and rude x10. Run from this place ..... go to massage chairs at the airport safer and cleaner.. read more

Have had several foot massage and one body. Clean and professional with no idle chatter. Starts and ends on time and they have accommodated me when possible as a walk in. read more

I was in town for the day so I figured I'd stop in for a 60 min massage. He was fantastic. They got me in right away. The price was great $40 for 60 min Pressure was great! Hope you enjoy read more

My daughter and I made a reservation for a chair massage but changed our mind upon arrival to a 60 min 1/2 & 1/2 massage. They were so accommodating as my daughter was very pregnant and she was taken great care of with pillows to keep her comfortable throughout the massage. Going to book another massage for us as soon as I am done typing ! read more

I'm in town for a rowing training camp and my body has been obliterated. I got a 45 min body massage and I feel like I've been reborn. So peaceful and the ladies were so nice. read more

I'd give it another shot. I think the day I went in they were rushed and had multiple walk ins (me included) I didn't really feel like they did any acupressure points but I was still able to relax a little bit. read more

So let me tell you about why Tao & Zen will officially be my only go to foot spa in Sarasota. I am notorious for finding a good Asian foot spa everywhere I travel. This time it was hard. The first place was closed but sent us to another address. On the way to the 2nd address we passed Tao & Zen and decided to try it. A small older lady met us at the door, obviously in the middle of a massage but kind and quick enough to let us know we could come back in an hour. We took a shot at the 2nd address and arrived at a place that simply said "Massage". A young lady with a super short skirt rushed to the front and said they did NOT do foot spa massage. (I noted the numerous cameras, ring system and no foot massage chairs and got the message). We went back to Tao. My husband and I settled in with who we can only assume were two family members--husband/wife--and got the BEST foot and short body rub. I went back twice in my short week stay. They were the only 2 there so call for an appointment but take my advice: Skip the others and go straight here! read more

This was our second time recently going to a foot spa. We likes the other one in Bradenton but we loved our experience here. It was very clean and our therapists were really good. We were the only customers, which was nice because it more peaceful and relaxing. We paid $40 each for an hour and thought that was very reasonable. The foot massage includes neck, back, arms, etc. Well worth it! Can't wait until the next time we go. read more

I was very sore from working long hours and in need of a massage..So glad they could get me in! The pressure and atmosphere were in point! Highly recommend and will def be back!! Thank you! read more

Excellent foot massage. Very nice couple. Been going there for several years. Very reasonable prices.

OMG soooo good! Moved to FL from NYC where I get heavy massage every 2 weeks or so. I was therefore in a frenzy looking for THE ONE. I went to one where it wasn't strong enough even though I asked them to make it harder. Other one was trying to oversell, wanting to do more than what I wanted and too pricey. This one however, Tao and Zen, hardness was just right, price matched the quality. I asked for a punchcard right after as I know, I WILL BE BACK. I did the 1hr foot massage but they managed to do my back and scalp and shoulders as well! If you like it hard with muscle relieving action, this is your place. read more

Awesome massage! Authentic Dongbei massage. 100% relaxed and recharged. Super friendly and professional!

I went there recently and when I walked in there was a bike in the waiting room blocking seats. It looked a bit dingy. I was asked to go into a room and take my clothes off down to my boxer shorts. The room was also more dinghy that the waiting area. It just felt unclean in this business. I got a massage/foot combo. It was a rough rough massage. We both were wearing masks so not much talking. When I left I paid the fee with a credit card and gave the tip with a $10 bill. She started to talk to me, in broken English, and told me "my discount". I asked her what that meant. She said the same thing again and I looked puzzled. Then she said "go up". And I asked her what that meant. She took out a calculator and computed some numbers and showed me 18 on the calculator display. I told her no. And she raised her voice and said "go up" about four more times. Obviously she wanted a 20% tip. But the service and the environment was not worth 20%. Sooooo. I guess 20% is expected here when the service, etc is not a 20-percenter. This is a two person shop. My impression was she was the wife of the man that was also in the shop. So a co-owner. If you notice every review is a gushing 5-star. So that tells you -- What?? On my way home I got a call from the shop's listed number. I didn't answer because I was driving. I think they were going to ask me for more money. I called back but their voice mail was not activated. I'll be checking my credit card purchases in a day to see what they actually charged me. read more

This was the best foot and body combination massage that I ever had in my whole life and I'm almost 60 years old and I have had a few massages! I walked in a lot of pain and left in a scant amount of pain read more

My wife and I are suspect of places like this but when we find good ones we need to share. This place was great. Only 2 workers- I think husband and wife. Super accommodating- we called around 11am and she had us in at 1pm. We selected a 60 minute foot massage. They did a great job with 10-15 minutes of shoulder and neck area which made things complete. I will be back within 2 weeks! Good service- good value. Give them a try! read more

Such a gem. Get the 1 hr foot rub which also includes the rest of your body for only $40.

This place was amazing! Rachel and her husband gave us a last minute couples massage, and it was top 3 all time. Definitely going back when I'm in Sarasota! read more

I found this spa on yelp. I remembered that they used to be in the SRQ mall for many years but recently moved to their present location. My wife and I wanted to get a foot massage so I called and was able to book an appointment the same day. Upon arrival we were cordially greeted by the owners who are husband and wife, Rachael and Sun. The foot massages were absolutely the best we have ever had and after the treatment they suggested we do a 30 minute massage. We both chose the chair massage and it was truly unbelievable as it was one of the best if not the best massages ever. Now we go for a massage elsewhere every week and have done so for over 20 years BUT after going to Tao & Zen we are hooked on their spa. I strongly suggest you give them a try. read more

Wonderful massage. I consider myself a connoisseur of massage, therefore I'm a little more selective than others might be. Therapist Rachael is very skilled and pays close attention to details. I had a upper back ache on one occasion which I told her about and after one visit I was pain free again. The facilities are impeccably clean and the atmosphere nice and relaxing. Pricing is reasonable considering the quality of service. I remain impressed. read more

Exceptional deep tissue table massage for a very reasonable price. They used hot stones and walked on my back. My husband and I both got massages at the same time and they were able to accommodate us on short notice. I feel so much better! read more

Tao & Zen was recommended to me by my good friend so I had to give it a try! I tried the 30 minute foot massage and the 30 minute massage - heavenly!! Loved that the foot massage was like a deep tissue massage and was not only limited to my feet, but also my lower legs up to my knees. The massage was also terrific! My massage therapist asked along the way if the pressure was too hard or too light, so I appreciated being able to let her know it was just right. After my foot and regular massage, I felt so completely relaxed and rejuvenated. Definitely recommend! read more

Great foot spa, nice atmosphere, very friendly staff, and reasonable prices!! I will definitely be going back!!
