I've been seeing Ralph consistently once a month for almost a year now, and I genuinely can't…read moreimagine going to anyone else! He somehow knows the exact amount of pressure to make me feel completely relaxed while also making sure I (and my knots!) get some good use out of his magical hands. He's also incredibly thoughtful about checking in before every session to see what I'm in for that day, whether it's a full-body massage, certain areas that need extra attention, or anything I want him to avoid. And afterward, he always follows up with what he noticed during the massage and any recommendations for things I can do at home to help in between my monthly sessions. My 50 minutes with him absolutely FLY by, and if/when my schedule allows, I will definitely be splurging on an 80-minute session. Ralph is such a friendly, kind, genuinely caring person, and I truly can't recommend him enough. Although selfishly, I'm going to be a little annoyed if this review makes it harder for me to get my monthly appointment.

Lisa was phenomenal! I booked a 50-minute massage and honestly never wanted it to end. I asked her…read moreto focus on my neck and back, and she worked out all of the knots with the perfect amount of pressure. I also requested a little extra stretching to help with my mobility, and she was more than happy to incorporate it into the session. The stretching was fantastic and made a noticeable difference. I left feeling incredibly relaxed. You can tell Lisa takes her time, genuinely cares about her clients, and is passionate about her craft. It never felt rushed, and the entire experience was top-notch. 10/10--I would absolutely recommend booking with Lisa, and I'll definitely be back!

I will be returning to Swan on a regular basis.

I was a walk in and didn't have time to wait. I instead got Saline, who was AMAZING. She truly listened to everything I told her, made her presence known throughout the massage but not too much, so I was able to fully relax. I cannot say enough good things about this massage. The space itself was cramped and no frills and some of the pressure is on fellow GUESTS to keep their voices down (please keep this in mind!) but it has everything. The space felt clean and cozy. I went for a 1.5 hour massage which felt like a splurge because it was longer than I normally do, but their prices were so reasonable and I had just come off a very long work week that it felt needed. The massage was so incredibly relaxing and left me in a little bit of pain in a good way. I knew Saline had found a lot of my deep knots, so there was no way for it to be without pain, but every fit of it was so worth it. It was so relaxing and I left feeling 100x better than when I came in. It was a little hard to find because it's on a small strip mall, but now that I know where it is I won't miss it. Highly recommend this spot!

This was a decent Thai massage, although I have to admit I'm comparing it to a Thai massage I had…read morein Vegas that was so good that I've been chasing that feeling ever since . I had a 60-minute massage here with Nina. The massage itself was good and I left feeling relaxed, but it just wasn't quite the same level of therapeutic or memorable experience as that other massage. Nina was also coughing a bit throughout the appointment, which made me wonder if she might not have been feeling her best that day. The price was $70 for 60 minutes with cash, and they recommend at least a $15 tip. I left $20. Overall, I'd say it was a perfectly fine massage and I'd give it 4 stars. It may have just been an off day, so I'd be open to trying them again with a different therapist.

She sort of went through the knots but not that much. The table squeaked more than I would have liked. She used hot stones and it was more a relaxing massage than a deep tissue massage. They do charge a card price that is $2 extra than the regular price. Not sure I would return. There is also a tipping guide indicating $15-25 for various levels of service. There is a private parking lot and it is on the second floor. You have to go through a small ally way in the center and walk up the stairs.

Don't let the name fool you...this isn't just foot massages. They offer full body massages too, which is what I came for after multiple friends recommended this spot. Pricing is very reasonable -- I paid $68 (with card) for a 60-minute massage. You can also request light, medium, or hard pressure when checking in. My therapist Ivy, was fantastic. She really focused on my problem areas: neck, shoulders, and back - and I left feeling noticeably better. The front desk staff was also very friendly and welcoming. Just know this is a no-frills experience. There aren't fully enclosed private rooms...massage areas are separated by curtains, so you may hear other clients. If you're okay with that, the value here is hard to beat. Overall, great massage and I'll definitely be back.

Afterward, my partner mentioned he received hot stones and additional services that I did not receive, even though we both booked the same Thai massage. My massage was average, while my partner said his was great. I also didn't feel like the space was the cleanest, but for the price, it was acceptable. My main concern is that we booked the same service but had very different experiences and treatments. I believe the service should be consistent when booking the same massage.

ASK FOR JJ! I came…read morehere to redeem my fragile self after my last horrific massage--which we've all agreed was a learning experience. I had just landed in LA after a six-hour flight. Snow wrecked the team's plans, my bones were screaming, and my inner voice said: Koreatown. Massage. Now. The very friendly girl at the Moxy front desk recommended Silver Lake Spa and casually dropped the words "mid-week special." $55 for one hour. Sign. Me. Up. No questions asked. Just one boundary: if I get poked, I'm out. The place is modest and unassuming. JJ was my therapist. Between my moaning, grunting, and aggressively pointing at my neck and shoulders (note to self: don't lift weights the day before a six-hour flight), we agreed on a relaxing Thai/Swedish combo. Friends... JJ knew exactly what she was doing. She found knots in my skull. My actual skull. Then proceeded to perform some kind of kung-fu Thai magic where I felt what used to be my brain turn back into mush--in the best way. She moved to my shoulders and back, mixing deep Thai stretches with light kneading, locating muscle kinks like five-carat diamonds and polishing them until they no longer existed. At one point I'm fairly certain I was purring. HR would not approve. Then came the oil and relaxation portion. Pure bliss. She was gentle, focused, and so intentional that I may or may not have teared up slightly. One hour was simply not enough. I could've moved in. If you live in LA--go see JJ. If you're visiting--go see JJ. It was a glorious hour, and I'm still wiping the drool off my face. This girl is going straight to bed. But I will find JJ again. Just don't tell HR.

They offer…read moreeverything from traditional Thai massage to combination Swedish massage, so you can choose between deep therapeutic work or a more relaxing experience. If you like a strong massage, I highly recommend trying their traditional Thai massage and asking for firm pressure. They know exactly how to target pressure points and release tight muscles. Their techniques reflect the traditional healing methods of Thai massage that have been passed down through generations. I've been to many massage places over the years, and you can definitely tell the difference when the therapists have that level of experience and knowledge. If you're looking for an authentic Thai massage that leaves you feeling refreshed, Elite Thai Massage is a great choice.

It is a sanctuary amidst the hustle bustle of Los Angeles in Korea town and safely located across from the police station. A plus parking is free in the plaza downstairs. The moment you enter you are greeted by the friendly office manager and you meet store owner Eunice. The hospitality is felt immediately. You are issued a locker and towels with a cute pink robe. You cannot wear bathing suits or shoes, but the robe is what you wear and the spa is so clean and smells amazing inside. They have various rooms such as charcoal clay sauna, infrared sauna, steam room, Himalayan salt room, Himalayan salt bath, cold room, oxygen room, mugwort tea bath where you pour the basin of mugwort tea and drench it over your body in a seated shower section. Mugwort tes smells earthy and helps with skin issues. You can do a body scrub to exfoliate your dead skin and your skin will be amazingly soft and dewy. They use a scrubbing mitten and you can request gentler scrubbing versus a new mitt which will be more firm exfoliating scrub. The massage is 1 hour long and extremely relaxing. You can choose green tea or collagen milk for your massage. The collagen milk left my skin so dewy and soft. In the end they wrap your hair into a cute bun atop your head and wrapped in a cute pink towel. The V steam is something new I never heard of before and tried for first time. You are in a private room and sit on a cushion seat with an circular opening and beneath are herbs heated and you wear a cute cloth robe to absorb the steam over your privates hence V stream -- benefits with cramping, hormones, constipation, fertility, etc They offer a biscuit and tea while you stay in treatment x 30 minutes. If it gets too hot you lift the robe upward and it is cooler for your body. There is an area for food that opens at noon. The menu is a variety like Bimbibap or ginseng chicken soup and more. I will definitely come back to try this eating area. Every room is meticulously designed, clean and relaxing. I felt pampered here and can't wait to return. They do not allow photos otherwise you just have to visit here and experience it for yourself.

I was really looking forward to relaxing, but unfortunately this was one of the least enjoyable spa…read moreexperiences I've had. From the moment my treatment began, the body scrub attendant's demeanor felt cold and unwelcoming. Her tone of voice came across as harsh, and when she spoke to me, it was loud enough that other guests looked over. Since everyone is undressed during these treatments, that made me feel especially uncomfortable and vulnerable. The body scrub itself was much rougher than I expected. I wasn't asked whether the water temperature was comfortable, and the pressure felt unnecessarily aggressive rather than relaxing. I left feeling more sore than refreshed, which isn't what I expect from a spa treatment. This was also the second month in a row that I was assigned to the same body scrub attendant, even though I've never had her before and had always been treated by someone else in the usual wet room. It struck me as unusual, especially since I had previously noticed her speaking very harshly to other staff members. I'm sharing this feedback in the hope that it's taken constructively. I truly enjoy this spa overall, but I hope more attention is given to making every guest feel comfortable, respected, and cared for during their treatment.
