No photos since this establishment requires patrons to be naked in the wet areas…read more It's one of the more competitively priced Korean spas in the NYC area at $40 for the entrance fee with no time limit. Bonus points for the free underground parking which is especially valuable in the Flushing area. You pay at the front, leave your ID, then take off your shoes before heading downstairs to the wet area. There's shoe cubbies on the first level, but I prefer to take my shoes downstairs to your assigned locker so I don't have to worry about them potentially going missing. For proper etiquette just make sure to hold off on putting them on until you get to the first level when you're leaving. The co-ed clothed area (uniforms provided at check-in) is on the second level. There's additional saunas (clay, salt, etc.), ice room, sleep room, lots of recliners and even a restaurant up there. The wet area is pretty typical for a Korean spa. Gender segregated and nude only. There's a cold plunge, hot pool and warm pool. A row of seats for relaxing. A row of standing showers and two rows of sitting showers. Body scrub area. Sauna and steam room. Im from California but visit New York Spa & Sauna every time I come, which is about twice a year. However, this time I found the experience to be slightly different. Mainly that there's now a spa attendant in the men's wet area who sits right outside of the steam room. He frequently checks the steam and sauna plus strictly enforces the eight person capacity in the steam room. I can assume the purpose is to curb potential misconduct. IYKYK. On my prior visits, especially during the winter, there's times where upwards of a dozen or more people would be packed into the steam room at a time, quite the sausage fest. So I guess it's a plus for you now if you prefer having a little more space in there. The attendant was friendly enough and seems to strike a good enough balance of doing his job and not being too intrusive. I just found it slightly less relaxing since he's constantly counting up and down as people enter and leave the steam room. "Three, two, one, full, one, full, one, two, one, full, one two, three, two, one full, one, full again, please wait" is all you'll constantly hear now in the wet area. Eventually I did tone it out and even knocked out on one of the chairs for a bit, so I still found it overall a relaxing experience, just slightly less so than before. The spa opens until 11pm but the steam closes as 8:30pm and sauna at 9:00pm. If you stay past that, you're welcome to use the other amenities until they announce the check-out time which is a bit before 11pm. Overall, I stayed for nearly five hours and still had a fun and relaxing time. The place was clean and well maintained which is a huge plus for me.

The BEST massage of my life... hands down!…read more If you're looking for a humble, unpretentious massage, look no further than Zhong Huang Spa. Again, this place is not fancy nor does it pretend to be. It doesn't need to be when magical hands abound to give you the amazing massage that you deserve. Sure, the masseuses may talk some to each other through the wall while you are getting massages, but I just tuned it out. They are speaking a language I don't understand, so I just tuned it out. And, yes, the rooms are small, so they have to slide the massage tables a bit to get all the way around you to work different areas... but, come on, it's NYC. Spaces here are small. Forget what the complainers are saying, and check this place out. It really is the real deal, and I highly recommend it to anyone. Oh, one final quick note: When we called to make an appointment, no one spoke English, so we took a risk and walked in. Luckily they had folks ready to massage. If you don't want to risk a wait, call up one of your Mandarin-speaking friends to help you make an appointment -- that's what I'm going to do next time!

The facility seems nice but the staff is all over the place. After waiting 1.5 hour in the lobby room, they told us to go to the rooms which were not yet cleaned! We told them that they were used and they took another 30 min to clean and set up. Then when we laid in the room, we waited for another 30 min for a total of 2.5 hours. We had a dinner reservation for mother's Day and had to push it twice to fit this booking in. The worst part is we got zero apologies and when I complained the representative told me to stop asking and go back in the room. They didn't seem to care about our bad experience being so delayed in the least. Totally appaling experience.

Tried Tou Dou Tang for the first time for a scalp analysis and herbal shampoo massage. I went on a…read moreMonday evening and was surprised it was pretty empty. The scalp massage itself was great--the staff member who worked on me was skilled, and I felt relaxed throughout the entire process. I also really liked the bathroom decor, which added a nice touch to the overall experience. However, communication was a challenge. None of the staff spoke strong English, and there wasn't any visual guide or video to help explain the scalp analysis. It made it difficult to fully understand the results and recommendations. I ended up purchasing a scalp spray for $40, which I was told was 50% off from $80. I'm not entirely sure how accurate that was, especially after noticing the expiration date is October 2026--it left me a bit unsure about the value. In total, I paid around $180 including tip, which feels quite expensive for the experience. Overall, it's a relaxing treat, but probably more of an occasional self-care splurge rather than something I'd do regularly.

I have no pictures because I went with my daughters and a friend! This was my middle child and…read morefriend high school graduation gift from me and because I still have one child who is still under age, I wanted to celebrate with her joining the party. We had a ball! They loved it, and didn't want to leave. Customer service was outstanding, everything was clean and well maintained. The lifeguards they have on duty were alert and ready to respond to emergency's. We had an amazing time. Now with all the good stuff being said, let's get to some tips and suggestions. Yes this place lets you bring children, because of this I suggest you come as early as possible. The early the better. We got there an hour after opening and we got to experience everything. It starts to get crowded after 1pm. I personally think although they allow children, even that should be an age limit. I saw children there who were too young to understand what a spa is and probably thought it was a day at the pool, I saw more swimming than I would preferred to see. It definitely can take away from your experience. Most of the food prices are reasonable but some were outrageous! If you want any personal spa services you have to book them in advance and me personally they are way too expensive! This place could make some small improvements but I appreciate what they have to offer and how they are different from most spas. It helps me to teach my girls to know that it's okay to relax or wind down. The next day will have its own anxiety's. Thumbs up and a Happy Yelping!

Came today to escape the heat wave that is hitting New York the day before the Fourth of July. I…read moreexpected it to be crowded, but what I didn't expect was basically a kindergarten??? It was impossible to relax in any of the pools available because there were children jumping and screaming and climbing and splashing water all over everyone. The only lifeguard on duty during the afternoon was on his phone giggling THE WHOLE TIME, even when kids were diving in a pool literally 2 feet deep. What I also did not expect was having to wait 40 minutes in line for a drink. There was only one person doing the drink, and then another one coming back and forth from what I found out to be the kitchen upstairs. Counting the people INSIDE the kitchen, cooking, there were a total of 5 people doing food and drinks during a fully booked day at lunch time. Also wasn't prepared to spend $26 + gratuity + tax for a drink (they automatically charge gratuity and then ask if you want to leave a tip lol) ON THE BRIGHT SIDE the place was clean and well kept, even the bathrooms were perfectly clean. Yes, a few hair here and there, but it was expected. The saunas were good and they had a good variety. I don't know if I'll come back during a weekend or festivity, $110pp seems a lot to not being able to relax.

But the birthday boy wanted to come, and it's hard to argue against the $30 entrance fee (massages and such are additional). That said, if I had to K-spa again, I wouldn't come back here. There was a good 10-15 min during our stay when one staff member was angrily yelling at another member at the top of his lungs. I couldn't understand what he was saying since it was all in Korean, but I'm grateful for that actually. Combined with the questionable cleanliness and bare bones decor, I can't imagine why anyone would choose to come here when there are better options in Queens.

There are many Groupon deals for this spa and originally I thought about purchasing 3 deep cleaning…read morefacial deal ($110). When I was trying to see if it was possible to make an appointment on the same day, the receptionist said I can just pay at the spa, instead of getting a Groupon deal (probably because Groupon takes out some portion as commission). I was really hesitant because I've paid the spa directly before and when the service was terrible, I couldn't get Groupon customer service protection. Since this spa allowed me to split 3 facial package with my husband, I agreed to pay the spa directly. We were 10 minutes late because there just wasn't any parking available around Main Street, but the receptionist was very understanding and said don't worry about being late. Once we got there, we were in a couple room and got changed and got started right away. I had Tina and my husband had Zoe - they were both professional and extraction and décolletage massage was nice. They didn't push us to upgrade the service and my husband and I were so comfortable that we both fell asleep and snored. I definitely had a better product and techniques before and I would rate this place more like 4.5 stars, but since the customer service was great, I'm leaving 5 stars. *Tip: pay in cash because if you use your credit card, tax will be charged.

This spa is actually right in the heart of Downtown Flushing, and has a decent interior, and…read morefriendly folks working here. I came on a groupon, in my search to find my new regular spot, but honestly was rather disappointed. The products used are ok - Keve and Collin - some generic spa stuff (did not see any commercial stuff like Vaseline or other drug store brands, as you might at some other cheap spas). My facial was actually somewhat torturous -- the facial massage is just so rough and not at all relaxing or rejuvenating. I felt like the facialist was trying to force moisture back into my poor dry skin. The extractions were fine, on the properly aggressive side. I HATE that they use razor to do eyebrows - no reason not to pluck, esp as I wasn't that overgrown! I would not return, though packages run from as low as about $35 per facial in a package of 10.

Easy to see why the reviews here are all over the board…read more This place is part hot mess, part disorganization--I'm being kind, and part dismay--wondering how it is they are still in business. Come at your own risk. And after saying that, I'll likely return, but bear with me. Tuesday: tried calling to make sure they were open as their hours were advertised as 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. every day of the week. Couldn't get an answer on a Tuesday so thought maybe just busy, took the subway down and walked the nearly mile one way, arriving at 4:30 p.m. Locked, not open. I call several times, finally get an answer: "we open at 6:00 p.m." Nope, not waiting around so away I go. Next day, Wednesday, around 5:00 p.m. start calling, get busy signals continuously, no answer. Arrive at 6:00 p.m., not open. Busy signals continue. Wait until 6:30 p.m., still closed, decided to go for a walk around the block and if they aren't open when I return I'm done. Return at 6:40 p.m., the door is open. WTF? Guy at the desk is 1st grade English level at best, but nice. Tries to explain what's available. Main hot sauna is out of order (turns out being totally rebuilt and looked quite nice). Other hot sauna out of order as well. Steam room working, he says "not very warm," which is correct. It's a freaking lung choking oven that when at full blast you can see about a foot. I sit near the door. Only three other people in the entire building I can see and two are in the pool, someone giving a swimming lesson to a kid and mister Eastern European. I keel over and I'm dead in 60 seconds. Obviously, this written just before that occurred. Kidding. I go in and out spending maybe 30-40 minutes in there. That purged the Burmese, Malaysian, Tibetan, Bangladeshi food downed earlier in the day. The "cold" pool mentioned by others was lukewarm. The hot whirpool just a little warmer than lukewarm, the main pool about what I'd expect. And alas, no one on staff to deliver the famed banya beating with branches. The story I came to experience will wait until another time. This place is frozen in time, say 1960. I saw no food being served but some that was left over on a dining table apparently from the day before or earlier. More of the hot mess. Finally, I chat with the guy running the place and he concedes things are in disarray, apologizes, says only pay what I wish. I gave him $20 for what was to be a $35 fee. And yes after all that, I'm sort of intrigued. If and when things hit all cylinders here, and a friend said they do, I can see it being pretty cool. Otherwise it operates about like I'd think a lot of things operate in Eastern Europe. One thing for sure, had there been vodka around after this experience, I'd have been into it. I'm not someone that likes vodka, but this experience made me want to do shots like a bunch of Russians doing the best to pickle their livers. To be continued. Maybe. If you come: I'd suggest bring cash only. Call ahead. They don't tell you they're open, don't show up. Looking for an upscale Hilton spa? This, most assuredly, is not it.
