I've been a client friend of these amazing hard working women for years and it's more than a massage, it's a spiritual awakening if you open yourself to this. Life changing knowledge and skilled body work unmatched is all I can say. Fyi: have respect for these women and approach them with the best intentions. You will become a better version of yourself every visit. read more

I am always looking for new massage therapists and spas. As a masseuse myself, I am happy to say I have found the best. Muthita is the best I have tried in Hawaii. She is so knowledgeable and is the only masseuse that I know in the US that uses the mallet technique. She also is very comforting and explains what she is doing and how it will help. Thankfully my search for a new massage therapist is done. read more

Thai Banyan Massage and Spa - Massage Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Best massage in Honolulu. I came in with sore muscles and came out feeling refresh.. thanks Pin.

I came today and got the 90 minute Deep Tissue Massage from Pim. She asked me where I would like to focus on, and I told her my shoulders. At the end of my massage, I could feel that the the knots in my shoulders where completely gone. She used many techniques and also got the knots out of my full body as well. I've been to many massage places on island, and I highly recommend here to anyone!! read more

Nina is awesome. Was in a accident when I was younger so I have neck and back problems. Nina does her magic and the next day I'm good to go. Been to a lot of different places on the island and Thai banyan massage is the first place I call when in need of a massage. read more

Thai Banyan was every bit of what I was looking for in health and wellness and massage therapy. From the very beginning I was a little unsure or skeptical but once I arrive there I was made to feel very comfortable and the welcome was extremely warm. Very professional in their approach and assessment of exactly what it is each individual needs or wants in respect to pain relief or stress relief. In my opinion they get my two thumbs up, very knowledged in massage therapy and total body wellness. I will be back as a regular. read more

I have had several massages with Nina over the years, and I can attest to her level of skill and her ability to "read" the client's needs at any given time. She'll find the knots and work them out thoroughly, without resorting to the rough mechanical approach so many therapists seem to employ when asked to give a "deep" or "strong" massage. She is always friendly, professional, attentive, punctual, and has the new location set up for optimal fresh-air ventilation--essential during the pandemic. Five stars. read more

I've traveled the world and have had great massages and bad ones. The massage I had today massage ranks as one of the best. The place is clean, professional, and welcoming. I felt at ease and relaxed. My masseuse was very attentive and skilled in Thai massage. Definitely recommend read more

Very good massage and we must be back definitely. Love whole team here and don't forget to continue healing us in the future.

Meya has experience with taking your health to a new level. She does a great job. I will be going to see her again as soon as possible.

Don't be turned off by the location or building decor. I just had the best thai massage of my life. Nina really knows what she's doing. If you want fru fru and decorations, go somewhere else. If you want a quality thai massage, go see Nina. read more

I was feeling really tight from some hard labor. So, since I was in the area with some time, I decided to stop for a massage. I chose a deep tissue massage and got Nina as my therapist. She walked on my back and found all my problem areas. I needed very deep therapy and she has got to be the strongest therapist I have ever encountered. She even gave me a bit of Ancient Thai stretching. The spa is new, everything is fresh, clean and comfortable. I am soon to be a frequent customer. read more

Thai Banyan Massage and Spa - Store front - Massage Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I love this place. I've gone twice now and work with Nina - who is amazing. I usually do the combo massage - either thai/swedish or pressure point/swedish and she can tell exactly how tight certain areas are and what needs work. She's amazing and she cracked my neck and back in places that I never thought possible. The place is small and the walls are thin, don't expect anything super fancy like a four seasons spa. Go if you want a no frills but excellent quality massage. read more

Bought the 2 hr package and Muthita gave my partner an experience she will never forget. I say experience intentionally because it wasn't just a massage, it was a whole ass experience. You will not be disappointed. Great atmosphere, highly recommended. read more

Did a walk in for a 60 minute couples massage, they were very good about accommodating us despite their packed schedule. Although my husband was feeling quite refreshed after the massage, I have to say my experience could've been a little better. The whole hour was me trying to stay calm and ignore the pain. But my husband did feel nice and relaxed after the massage so I guess it really depends on the individual. I've been to multiple massage places around the world, this is one I'd probably never go back to. read more

I stopped by Thai Banyan on a whim after a long week stuck in the office. Kristy was great and really worked my sore and tight muscles. She used acupressure, ashiatsu, and stretching to unlock my stiffness. I left feeling relaxed and light on my feet. An affordable and convenient option when you need help to relax! $60 cash/hour and well worth it. read more

My shoulders have been stiff for a while. Today I had a massage with a Thai lady, named Oy. It was great. She concentrated on my shoulders, upper and lower back, especially on my knots on the shoulders. I really loved it when she massaged my hands and head. The head massage was the best. I didn't want it to end. She asked if the pressure was too hard or too soft while she was massaging different parts, so don't be resentful, just tell her your desired pressure. I'm going there again for sure. Maybe only a foot massage next time. I want my feet pampered for an hour. She offered a hot tea after the massage as well. It soothed me even more. Now I'm looking forward to the next session already! read more

Conveniently located across the street from Wal-Mart. Nice and inviting ambience. Felt relaxed from the moment I walked in. Nina, the owner, was warm and welcoming and made me feel like family from the moment I walked in. I have gone to a number of other places for Thai massages, but I couldn't get an appointment anywhere that day. So I decided to randomly check this place out. I'm glad I did. I enjoy a place that has a comfortable and stylish waiting room. The bathroom is also stylish and clean-everything Feng Shui-Thai version. Call me picky, but I'm not a big fan of getting massages in a place with 1980's decor. The room was also comfortable and relaxing. The temperature of the place was perfect. Call me picky, but I hate freezing my @$$ off when people turn the air con too high. The massage hit the spot. I'd go back again! read more

Let me start by saying I get a lot of massages, and have tried quite a few places around Honolulu, some good some not so good. I have a stiff neck and tight calf's so needed a good massage. I had tried Thai Banyan before, once, the place is new and appears clean and I was worked on by Jen. Jen was excellent, very good. I highly recommend her. Because Jen was so good I decided to go back, Jen was not available at the time I called and could go so I was worked on By Nina, who also answered the phone when I called. Nina asked what kind of massage I wanted and I explained (as I had with Jen) I have a stiff neck and leg so i wanted "deep tissue" sports type massage. Well what I got from Nina was that she only walked on my back and legs all while she was taking calls from customers booking appointments and talking to others therapist who open the door to my massage room and Nina was continuously leaving the Massage room and leaving the door open while I am on the table! Yikes. Now for the BAD part, she ONLY walked on me, never used her hands and HURT me. It now feels like my small bones in my left foot are broken and she hurt y left Achilles from her weight on it! At the time I yelled out in pain and all she asked is if I was OK and kept going. Well she is the worst I ever experienced. More Worst she never touched my neck!! I had to ask her close to the end of my very interrupted hour to please do my neck (?). so she said 'OK' and added ' I no do your arms then' (thanks) So what does she do? she has me sit up and she walked on my neck (!?!) as her weight bent me in half!! I am actually hurting now. It gets worst, It hurt so bad I called the owner the next day (Saturday) to tell him what happened and how much I hurt. He was very defensive and really did not care, he was told me that Nina is his BEST and MOST experienced Therapist and that she always asked if the pressure is OK. He had a very uncaring attitude...I told him I have never called a Massage place to complain and I was only doing so to help him and give feed back. He told me no worries. NO WORRIES, what the heck, He then said I could go get an x-ray if I wanted too and bring it to him or have the doctor call him!?! This guy is no good. also the parking is validated but I went around 8:00 PM on a Friday night and the lot was packed, had to circle a bit to find parking, very tight stalls. If not for his unfriendly, uncaring attitude I would have gone back to see Jen. But why give him the business being such an arrogant ass. Insult to injury... Buyer Beware I guess. YELP! read more

Surprisingly...by far my worst experience at a spa... This is the run down of my experience... - Th room wasn't ready... - I asked for a Sewdish massage, which I thought was a technique, but to this girl it meant lathering me in lotion - 5 minutes into the massage someone else was in the room talking to her...seriously?! Rude. - She asked me where I had tension, which was my neck and arm, and proceeded to rub lotion all over my legs for majority of the session. - In the end she asked me if I wanted a hot towel....and then wiped me down with a car shami...I don't think you can sanitize those! The worst part is after my maybe 40 minute massage (paid for 60) the owner actually laughed when he asked me about the massage and said the therapist I had needed to be trained more to be brought up to par. She probably isn't even licensed. Next time I need a massage...I'll just lotion up my legs and call it a day. read more

I've been here twice now and will never go back ever again!! I am a massage therapist myself and have experience with many different modalities of massage, as well as working in various settings (spa, chiropractic, clinics, etc), and aside from the 'just okay' massages I've received, the service was just plain rude. I originally purchased a Yelp deal ($50 for a $70 massage) but when I got there, saw a lomi lomi special $49 for 60 mins, so decided to do that instead of using my deal. I was warned that every therapists does lomi lomi different, and I do understand that since I am a therapist myself. However, the massage I received I felt was literally rubbing oil on my body. There was zero pressure, no checking in, nothing. The second time I went, I decided to use my deal and get a deep tissue/deep swedish massage. This therapist was not bad, but very inconsistent with pressure. A friend made the appointment for me and we got there just in time, so got taken in right away. After the session we asked if we could use our Yelp deals and they said no, because we're suppose to let them know before our appt started. The one therapist Tanya was super rude about it and made me feel like I did something wrong, saying "you should have done it out of courtesy to us." Dude...how the heck should I know?! She made me feel even more tense than before I received my massage. These therapists not only need more training on the different modalities they offer, but also customer service. This place will not last if they continue running their business like this. Sorry! read more

My massage routine consists of a fifteen minute massage from my employer once a year. Yup, I can't say I'm a connoisseur of massages. However, I have been to Thailand and had my share of Thai massages. I like how Thai Banyan had local masseuses. I signed up for a 60 minute Thai massage and 30 minute foot massage. They led me into a room without any instructions and left the room. I didn't know I was suppose to take it all off and get under the sheet. ALL. OFF. Sure is different than practices in Thailand, where they dress you in traditional Thai massage clothing. I have to also say I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to a massage. My masseuse was tiny but boy was she strong! I'm sure she could have taken me down without even trying. She was pretty intense, I think she found all 206 of my bones with her elbow. Check that, 200...she didn't search for the three bones in each of my ears. JK. This place is great for those who love intense massages. read more

I don't get massages very often, but when I do I go to Thai Banyan Wellness. The massages are amazing and consist of a massage mixed with stretching and adjusting. My sore neck and back feel healed after a massage from here. Thank you Thai Banyan! The ultimate place to come and relax. read more

Thai Banyan Massage and Spa - Massage Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

First time. It was very clean and nice inside. I was offered hot tea. Customer service was impressive. Tammy really knew what she was doing and took her time working knots out of my back. She is very talented! I highly recommend. Bring cash, you will save 5$. read more

I had an amazing Thai massage from Angel today. She applied the perfect amount of pressure and stretched my body until all my muscles weren't aching and sore. She was very friendly and communicated more than I've ever experienced at this establishment. My body feels brand new!!! I booked another appointment in a week and I'm so excited to be back. I highly recommend their discount program. The prices here are very reasonable. read more

Mmmmm... OooOoooo... Ahhhhh... Who doesn't like a good massage? Until yesterday I thought the only places to say aloha to tight muscles was at my chiro (love you Dr. Shiraki!) or in a fancy spa. All other massage businesses conjured sketchy images of places men visit for happy endings. My phobia has been removed from a visit to Thai Banyan. I was relieved that their receptionist spoke English. My friend warned me to make my first visit in person because the person manning the phone is difficult to understand. The girl who greeted me was super sweet and although from Japan, she spoke perfectly! She is an ideal first impression. Helpful, patient and service-oriented. Ambiance is okay. I liked the soft fragrance of lemon grass - lavender in their rooms and it seemed like they use real wax candles. Their beds are heated and linens fresh. They absolutely need help from a professional interior designer. Walls are nicely hued with soft neutrals but the bamboo hutch they use to display their merchandise is less than appealing. They need to buffer inter-room noise. I found it bothersome to hear the full conversation from the next room. The straw flowers glued to the walls of the massage room are a distraction. And please! Do not leave an oversized version of the artificial flora on my bed. I had no idea what to do with the scratchy blossom when i got under the sheet. Thai Banyan has four rooms: three singles and a room with two beds for couples massages. I was assigned to Rachel, a highly skilled and experienced massage therapist. Her previous work in the Colorado ski resorts gave her the knowledge to work out the damage I've created from years of high impact sports. Her technique leans on precision more than chi. i appreciated her low level voice and ability to apply the heavy pressure I adore. In the end I was satisfied with Thai Banyan. I went in to find a therapist I can afford to visit twice a month and I found it. It might not be fancy but the staff is pleasant and skilled. Service: 5 stars Ambiance: 2 stars Value: 4 stars Overall: 4 stars read more

WHAT A RIP-OFF!!! Don't waste your time with this massage establishment. The staff is very unfriendly. NINA, who is the owner and also does massages, is the most RUDE AND unfriendly of them all. I waited over one hour for my massage and then was told that they couldn't take me. No apology, no nothing. Such terrible public relations. She talk in some walk-in haoles before me even though I had been waiting for an hour. Her husband answers the phone sometimes at night, makes it a point to say that he is the owner and what do you want. Very unfrinedly and accusatory.......acts like he's with the FBI with the kinds of questions he asks about why you are calling. Too bad, NINA used to be a nice girl but now SHE IS A COLD FISH AND ALL BUSINESS AND IS VERY UNFRIENDLY. read more

Best massage I've ever received! Came across this place by accident when I was eating at a restaurant across the street. Walked in and they were able to do a couples massage on the spot. First time I had Amy, and I swear she has the hands of a goddess. Can't go wrong with Tammy or Nina though. They're all great and you're going to walk out a happy customer. I had a Thai/deep tissue massage. First timers get a rate of $60 and then $70 each time after. I'm now a membership holder which is the way to go! Comes out to about $50 each time and I go every week or two. Great customer service! They offer tea or water while you wait and they have a shower in the back if you want to shower. They also have massage tables that heat up! After I went to this place for the first time I checked out their reviews. Couldn't understand why people spoke so poorly about this place. I'm now a frequent customer and am confident that those reviews were just written during a different, i.e. Different management and masseuses. Check this place out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Been going here for 3 years now. Monthly membership is the way to go. Nina is the owner and is by far the best. If she's not available the others are good too. Amy is my go to for a deep tissue/Thai combo massage. Ask for Nina's new "tap tap" technique from India. It's a method developed over 2,600 years ago. I tell you I've had lower back issues and neck issues and after she did this method it was the best I've ever felt! Don't knock it until you try it. They validate parking and making an appointment is easy. Getting a gift certificate is easy and is a great idea for a loved one or friend. Out of all the massage places we've been to (including the expensive fancy spas) my wife and I always compare them to Thai Banyan and we always feel Nina's place is the best. read more

I absolutely LOVED my massage! I had a Thai/Sweedish combo with a facial. The women were professional, kind, and generous. They're priced excellent and i can't wait for my next massage! Babs read more

I went to Thai Banyan Massage and Spa for the first time today. I've had massages in the past, but this was on another level! My therapist was Angel, and she did a terrific job! As other Yelpers posted, its not simply a "massage", but really has a lot of stretching and adjusting as well. I ended up extending my time, because it was so relaxing ! The rooms have gentle lighting, comfortable temps, really great relaxation music, and prices are very reasonable. Angel is very thorough and communicative as well. I highly recommend Thai Banyan Massage and Spa, and especially Angel ! read more

Very bad service!!! Wasted my time!!! Made an appointment Went there 15mins early Front door locked Called in, no one answer Tried to leave a message, mail box full Excluded the 15mins early arrival, I've waited 30mins for nothing!!! read more

Great location! Great service! Extremely welcoming! Relaxing atmosphere! THEY GOT US GOOD! This hole in the wall has been an amazing experience. My boyfriend and I love going to Sikdorak an all you can eat Korean restaurant which is across this place. We notice there special sale $49.99 for an hour foot massage which caught our attention! We contemplated about going but since we finished eating at Sikdorak we decided to give it a try! HONESTLY, that was one of the best decision we could of made that night. Besides our belly's being filled with food, not thing can beat a full foot massage! The ambience really sets the mood. My boyfriend and I had tried a full body massage once before at a different place which there ambience didn't sale there service. This place sales there service on point! Not only was this place well designed the service was great. During our foot massage the lady who was massaging us kept checking up on us if we were good. Which we were! Not only did they massage our foot they also massage our legs and a our head. This place is amazing and I would recommend this place to everyone! We'll be visiting this place very soon! read more

If you love the benefits of Yoga, but are too lazy or discipline to get stretching. Nina from Thai Banyan is the one to see. Thai Massage - Like a Physical Therapists or Athletic Trainer would do to build muscle flexibility, by stretching your problem tight areas to be long, stretched & relaxed. The difference with being in a Thai massage w/ Nina is that she still stretches you into PT & Yoga stretches for muscle flexibility, but she integrates it w/ soothing pressure point techniques to primary & secondary muscles. So when you come out of a Great Thai Massage, you get the benefits of doing like a hour of Yoga or being worked on by a PT, where you feel as flexible as a flamingo, relaxed as a Hawaiian monk seal & as strong as a Lion or a Prize fighter ready for a Championship bout; but all the while you don't have to sweat or scream from the pain that goes with that, all because of Nina & the staff delivering the pre-fight massage that will have you screaming Adreeeee...........nnn w/o the bumps & bruises. The other cool thing about this place is it resembles your high-end Hotel Spas with the well designed decors & soothing colors. read more

Worst massage ever. Seriously? $65 is a rip off. I wouldn't even pay $30 for that massage. Waste of money. A girl was nice, so made everything okay. Not going back. read more

Thai Banyan Massage and Spa - Thai banyan - Massage Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

I came to Oahu to help a friend move and in the process I got some sore back muscles. He highly recommended a Thai massage at his favorite salon so off we went. I found Thai Banyan to be a small and pleasant place and was greeted by the beautiful owner, Nina. She was genuinely concerned about my aches and pains and after a cup of tea we proceeded to a room for the cure. This was my first Thai massage and I confess it was a little deeper than I was expecting. Nina gave me a real working over with her hands, feet, and a hot Thai herbal ball? After an hour I emerged refreshed and ready to get back to helping my friend with his moving. I found Thai Banyan to be professional and knowledgable and I would recommend it to all. Thank you Nina very much for your healing touch. read more

I went here trying to find a good massage & they were wonderful! The only reason why I won't return here, the distance. I know Honolulu is probably the best place, but I live it Ewa. So it's a little far of a drive. The location too is a little crummy. But the therapists do a wonderful job! read more

Sunday, April 30th: Just had the most amazing hot Stone Massage from Nina!! I would highly recommend her and the entire staff at the Thai Banyan Massage & Spa. Thank you Nina for one of the best massages I've ever received and I will definitely be back to see you soon :) I get massages on a fairly regular basis and this is probably the very first review I have done, but I've been thinking about this massage for a couple of weeks now and have to admit it is by far one of the best massages I've had!! So much so that weeks later I'm taking the time to post this review. read more

not the experience i was told i'd have..... I came here two times and both were horrible. I purchased the Yelp deal ($50 for a $70 massage) but when i arrived, there was a special $49 for 60 mins lomi lomi so i did that instead (i came with a friend who also did the same thing). When i was brought into my room to change out, my headrest was WET! and the sheets felt like as if they weren't changed. i told my massage therapist and she apologized and changed them out. During my session i kept on feeling water drip on me (no it wasn't the lotion because water was dripping on my back when she was working on my leg). When it was time to pay, the manager apologized again and gave me 15% off my services and a stamp card that gave me 15% off 9 more visits. The second time i came back (i had the yelp deal that i needed to use, the same friend i went with the first time accompanied me again) I had the hot stone massage which wasn't that great. I felt like she was just gently rubbing the stones on my body and at one point she burned me with the stone! When it was time to pay, i told her i was using my yelp deal and she said they don't honor that here. WTF? so i showed her my yelp purchase which hadn't expired (i literally just bought it a month ago) and she said she couldn't honor it because i was supposed to let her know before my session had started that I was going to use my yelp deal. The way she went about saying it was SO RUDE with tons of attitude. What difference does method of payment make in service? Anywho after all that attitude she honored the deal while continually reminding me that it's common courtesy to let them know... Anywho, not ever going back. not worth the attitude. read more
