spa was broken when I told the owner about the situation she tried to reverse it on me and said that I was gay and I was there to meet up with her under age person which is completely BS. I am happily married and just came here to relax on my day off if you have a day off do not come here. Complete waste of money you should go to a ispa in Irvine. Way cleaner. And everything looks perfect. this place is garbage. read more

Do not go here Dirty and 2 hours limit... think again before you pay :( Ispa is much better read more

Entry went up to $40. The spa was cold, the steam room was barely warm and the sauna was cold. Only 2 of the 4 showers actually work. I got ripped off. read more

I went here yesterday. I say don't go ! save your 25 dollars for two hours. The place is rundown . There's no doors to the bathroom or on the stall. The place is very small. The sauna was not even hot , like it wasn't on. Steam room is fine very small . The place to get a scrub is kind of in the open . You can't take an outside bag in. They did let me take in my water and my flip flops. You only get two towels . The guys there give off a weird vibe . There's plenty of free parking in the front. If you're looking for a quick dirty getaway in a gross atmosphere , I say go for it ! read more

So while my massage was fantastic, that was about it. The two hour limit is really pretty restrictive, and $30 is what you pay for a higher-end location... I get inside and it's... dated. Definitely smaller, definitely less modern. Worst part, getting there at 11:30am after they opened at 11:00am... it was clear that they'd just turned everything on AT 11:00am. The sauna was room temperature plus 10 degrees. The steamroom cool enough that the tile was cold to the touch. The hot tub was lukewarm. The warm tub was cold. The cold tub was ice cold. I asked for a scrub and was told no... the (one) wet area table was broken, but I could get a massage. Two stars out of five because the massage therapist was great... but no scrub... tiny dated facility... and everything was cold/lukewarm an hour after opening. Just... not great. read more

The price went up??? $40.00 for TWO HOURS??? Not spending my money here and recommending that others boycott this place until they bring the price down or extend the two hour limit. I'll pay $40.00 if I can tell them to F themselves. BOYCOTT! read more

Very very fun!!! Private low key not too many people.. friendly staff .. was there 1130..

I use to be regular from time to time but this place is run down bad!! , DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY i asked for refund cause stem & sauna are not working properly any more was in there for less then 15 minutes. THE SMELLS and atmosphere was horrible, they focused on hanging up new artwork and neglected the sauna, stem & pools but , apparently because no one "complained" the manger is on auto pilot and doesn't care! won't return at all anymore! charging 40 for run down spa! Crazy ALSO I WASNT ALLOWED A REFUND BUT OFFERED FREE Voucher..... when i asked why i cant get refund its because im "regular", & showered & used the towels , (i only used one mined you) , Definitely won't come back here at all anymore! If im regular and never complained before ever! That should be big warning sign! Feel super uncomfortable read more

This place used to be decent, but lately it's being completely neglected. The steam room needs a deep scrub, shower heads are broken, sauna benches are splintering. It was reasonable when the price was $30, but to increase to $40 with worse upkeep will put this place into a death spiral until they close, I'm afraid. read more

Anabal is great at massage and scrubs. The place is small and dated, but it's great for relaxing, and one of the best massage around. Perfect pressure. Asian front desk lady is great. But... The Latina front desk "manager" is a monster. I went once after shoulder surgery. I was going to physical therapy and had to Jacuzzi my arm to warm it up prior to pt... Doctor's orders. Jacuzzi and sauna weren't working, so I dressed and exited, requesting a refund. I explained the situation and said I'd need to be going to my gym or another establishment to warm up my shoulder. She said too bad. No refund. I was there for probably 10 minutes and I left pissed. Went again on another occasion and everything was fine. Great massage, as usual. I left and was 15 minutes over the tkme limit and the B tries to charge me $15 extra! Told her not happening.... Just use the $$ that I paid last time for the 10 minutes I was there. read more

The woman at the reception counter is very pleasant. The spa is very tired. I have been a regular customer over the last few years and discovered recently that they have raised their price of admission from $ 30 to $ 40 for a 2 hour visit. It was not long ago that the price was $ 25. It is just too much as there have been no improvements. The dry sauna is old and worn out, the steam room is okay, not very hot. And while I understand that the cost of business keeps going up, it seems that this is just a money grab. I will not pay $ 40. read more

For starters, there's a two hour time limit, and I could've spent less time there if it wasn't so expensive. I thought it'd be $20-25 for 2 hours. After walking in with my small backpack, I was told I wasn't allowed to take that in -which is weird...I went to my car and dropped it off but made sure to bring my refillable water bottle--You're given 3 small towels- I suggest saving 2 in your locker to dry off with after your final shower before leaving, but you do you) and padlock lockers (you have the key jangling around with you). It's $30 which is the same price as every other Korean spa in Orange County for general admission. 4 standing showers that barely have any water pressure, a small dingy dry sauna that's hardly heated, one warm tub that is drained and out of commission for the time being, a cloudy/murky hot tub, and they have a policy about charging at least $15 if you stay over your two hours -if you stay an additional hour you have to pay another $30. The only semi nice thing was the steam room because it wasn't too hot and came on in good intervals- con, the steam room door doesn't fully shut so it has to be pulled closed to seal. Pro, there's a hose inside, which is a nice way to refresh yourself and a great tool to spray the semen down the drain! I'd bring sandals if I were you. I wouldn't go here again by choice and if I could go back in time, I would have spent my $30 at a different KSpa with no time limit, been able to take my belongings in with me, and would have actually relaxed because I'm not watching the clock to make sure I'm not charged extra fees...on TOP of being able to enjoy a functional and clean facility. If you're trying to cruise, at least respect yourself enough to cruise at a different KSpa. You'll be glad you did. read more

Clean facilities, good vibe, friendly staff, nice clientele. Massage therapist is great

Hot pool has been broken for 3 weeks and they still want 30.00 to get in. For what? There's no value here. It's old and sauna needs a total overhaul. read more

Finally had a chance to check this place out. Went after work one day at around 3:30. Had a body scrub scheduled. scrub was nice always appreciate being cleaned. Jacuzzi was great with the heating temperature. Definitely bring your own towel or small towel. Nice atmosphere. Maybe increase volume of music. Good amount of people the time i was there. Have to return to try the sauna. Easy quick chat with a few people there. read more

Dirty and dated. Facility is not kept up. Most of the showers barely work and not all have soap. The cold pool has literal dirt and algae at the bottom and side. $30 for a two hr limit with three small towels. Spend an extra $5, get six hrs at ISpa, unlimited towels, and jjimjilbang. read more

only open for men. not cool as they advertise for both and their menu's give prices for both. redo your website

This is not your traditional Korean spa. Most of people go there for other reasons. It is what it is. I went on a Monday early afternoon around 130pm. The front desk Korean lady is very kind. I spoke to her if I could get a large towel, and she explained to me that's for clients with massage appointments. She did give me another small towel. The facility is in good condition. After I walk in through the front desk, I went into the locker room where I can put all my personal belongings away. Through the glass door, I came into the spa area. It is a high ceiling building with 4 shower stalls on my left hand side and a large warm pool on the right side. There are a steam room and a dry sauna room. Many lounge chairs are available for resting. Overall. I have a great experiences there. read more

Saturday, I feel so stressed and since I heard that this spa is newly remodeled and that it is located on my way home, I decided to stop by and check the place out. I got lost on my way to this place, maybe because it's located on a not so visible location and that there is no sign by the street. But since I am one of the thriving Homo sapiens, I figured my way to the spa, of course. The parking is not-so-plenty, as the spa is located in a strip mall that shares parking lot, though I was able to park in front of it during my visit. From the outsie, you would think that the spa do not offer much, as in a typical spa. Once in, you can tell that the place is like new. By the way, it's my first time in this place. The receptionist speaks English, yes. They are having a 20% discount for all of their services, so I got in and decided to get a body scrub for only $32 total, regular price is $40. They will give you a large bath towel, and a small towel and the locker key. On your way in the men's spa, you can grab a coffee, as it's there for free. There is no shoe locker, only a shoe rack located near the locker for your belongings. Inside the wet area/spa, there are 4 standing shower stations with glass divider located on the side wall in front of the hot pool and napping chairs, so it's really something if you don't like to be the live entertainment of the prying eyes. There are also 4 sitting shower stations. All of the shower stations have shampoo, conditioner, and soap in them. There is a hot pool, warm, and cold jacuzzi. The scrubbing station is located by the warm pool, so again it's something when you are getting scrubbed and other clients are in the warm jacuzzi watching you getting scrubbed live.There is a steam room, and a dry sauna which both are fairly clean. I've gotten body scrubs from other spas, and this one is the harshest and roughest though the best scrub I have ever gotten. The guy really did an awesome job. Mini massage, and mini acupressure in between, and it's really a 30 minute scrub. Note: The regular $15 admission fee, is only for maximum of 2 hours, and you cannot extend it, even if you want to pay more. Only one large bath towel, and a tiny one. No other rooms/amenities, only those mentioned above. Not too many Asians, mostly were Whites. No kids, so you really can rest and relax in here. They provide toothbrush/paste, slippers, disposable shaver, and shaving gel. Qtips, lotion, hair gel as well. The lighting on the wet spa is not too bright, just fine. Guys if you need your skin softer and feel cleaner, their scrub is recommendable. I am giving this 4 stars. Amenities were less than what I have expected. I have expected so much more. read more

Business flag my last update. I stopped coming here after confronted rudely by latina front desk person. I lost track off time and I went over the two hours limit. This update recently flagged and deleted by Yelp gods. Should you decide to come here be advise of such conduct and poor customer service. Play safe my friends, read more

I have been coming to this place for a long time since Esther the scrub lady was there however I moved out of California and I missed this place each time I have a chance to visit Orange County I make sure to drop by this place is very nice clean and staff are friendly Lee is also awesome lady. Service is great and very comfy read more

Came to the spa and both the jacuzzi and sauna and were turned off cause they were broken. I asked for a refund politely cause I came to use the them. That's the the only reason why I came and she just kept saying sorry you went in. But only for 10 min tops. Horrible service and the spa is so outdated and tiny. So no record this place. Ispa is way better. read more

Sooo sketchy!! Pulled up and parked in front. Lady worker came running out INTO parking lot and asked what I was doing. I said, "getting a gift card from you. " She said no no we don't do that, the girls side is closed indefinitely. I said well im coming for my husband, she said no no nothing is open but body scrub. I said well can my husband make an appointment for that and she said no no we are closed. So freaking weird!!! Nothing she said made sense and she was blocking the door like I might attempt to run past her. AND standing in the parking lot. Something is going on here and obviously she didn't want me to be part of. read more

2" cockroaches in the dry sauna. Jacuzzi jets not working. Owner said - rudely said "nothing we can do about cockroaches." Unbelievable. read more

The facility itself is a little bit more run down but the essentials work. Steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. I think for the price $25 they should Atleast do 3 hours. Since ispa charges $30 for no time limit and way more amenities. Will try scrub next time l read more

Misleading So! I use to enjoy their saunas .. that is up until poor management came along. I'd pay a steady cost every time up until I met the front desk girl I'm thinking maybe she is the manager, possibly the owner? I'd call to make an appointment again and the price goes up $10 and I'm like hm, whatever but then I'd call again and the prices are now just everywhere and then I'm like... yeah, you shouldn't do this! Besides shady business, this place has gotten filthy. It doesn't take a long time to lose customers trust. So now! I pretty much will drive further just to never see her face again lol ... #bait&switch is not cool! Bait and switch + Yelp = cannot be good for business. read more

Just too Expensive to get in! A two hour limit on top of that is crazy when you pay that much. Isn't the purpose of a Spa to go and relax? How do you relax when the "times up" clock is ticking? read more

They have reopened and better than ever ! Anebal scrubs are still the best IMO price is fair everything works well the hunting sound in the dry sauna is fixed bathe place was spotless and they supper excited to see everyone coming back and even asked about a fallen friend so please support this mom and pops place they are wonderful read more

The rating and information provided is not based on any spa services. It is only based on the cleanliness and condition of the Men's Sauna facility, and offerings. Spa Type: Korean Admission: - $20 (Sauna only) Showers (7): - 4 Standing - 3 Seated Vanities (4): - all with sinks, sparsely stocked Saunas (2): - Wet/Steam Room - Dry Room (Not very hot, faint smell of cat pee?) Pools (3): - "Hot" (Jacuzzi)(99°F) - "Warm" (Jacuzzi) (83°F) - "Cold" Plunge (79°F) Body Scrub: $40 (admission included) Scrub Tables: 1 Quiet Room: No TV Lounge: Small, 2 seat couch in the locker room/vanity combo. Towels: 1 Large and 1 small provided upon check-in, no additional towels available inside. Overall Impression: Small, stingy towel policy, terrible pool temps. Do yourself a favor and go to Irvine Spa 5 mins away, for the same price. Superior is every measurable way. I gave it 2 stars because it will do in a pinch. But there are just much better options. ****UPDATE 1/21/18**** Over a year later, all the same issues above are still present. Unless you're cruising for dudes (which appears to be the only guys that come here), skip this dump and go to ispa instead. read more

Thera Health Spa - Men's Service Menu - Massage Near Me - Tustin, California

I was desperate for a massage the other day and there was a lot of soreness in my neck and shoulders. I asked around and my friend Patty M recommended this place. Since it was not far from me and they were able to accommodate at a time which suited me, I went in for an oil massage. The facility itself looks so much smaller from the outside. When I arrived, I was given a robe, some towels and a key to a locker. I promptly went into the women's area and changed into my robe. When I was ready, my masseuse Kristina was ready to take me into the room for my massage. This isn't Burke Williams and I have no experiences with Korean spas so I can't compare it to that, but it was definitely much better than Massage Envy. The room is no frills and there is no aromatics in the room. The acoustics are loud because it is not a closed up room so you can hear the on-goings outside when customers come into the facility and are walking around. However, the pricing is reasonable. My oil massage is $60 and you get a full 60 minutes. Kristina will apply pressure according to your liking. I had quite a bit of pain and she proceeded to get it all out. When the massage is over, you can use the spa facilities such as the steam room and the various "pools". I went into that area to shower -- it is all in the same area -- so if you are showering and there are people in the spa area, you don't get much privacy. I hear at Korean spas you are pretty much in a communal area everywhere so I guess this isn't much different. The shower area supplies you with shampoo, conditioner and body soap and there are essentials like toothbrushes, toothpaste and razors. When you are done, there is lotion, hairbrushes, hair dryers etc for your usage. Being there on a Saturday afternoon, I never bumped into anyone else although I did hear people around while I was getting my massage. A very nice experience and good pricing. read more

$20. Twenty! And that gets you one small towel, one large towel, and locker key. There are no actual doors to the segregated areas, men's to the right, womens to the left, no co-ed areas like other kspas. There are hand written signs in various locations on the wall in the locker/dressing/tv room (all the same room but kinda sectioned off weirdly) that say things like, "please we are not responsible for lost / stolen items" and "please put your shoes inside your locker" or "turn key slowly not hard in lock!" broken english aside, the spa has what it needs to be a spa: showers - both standing and seated, a hot tub with crazy jets, a "warm" tub with room temperature water and standing room only, a cold tub also standing room only, a steam wet sauna and a dry sauna. There's a weird mirror on the wall adjacent to the dry sauna door, not sure what for.. maybe to help attendants and others see inside without having to actually go in? meh. There's also a semi-private scrubbing station on the other side of the seated showers. The massages are done through a door near the main entrance lobby (with the other door going into the dressing/locker area. there's also a single occupancy restroom. There's no sleeping or dark room, so you just have to sleep out in the wet spa area, which is noisy and not dark.. so good luck with that. Or you can sleep in the locker/dressing area by the tv, but also good luck with that. Parking is plentiful in the lot as it shares with many other businesses. The famous Cream Pan is also in the same lot / area, so if you're hungry for a snack, you could always go there afterwards. Overall, i wouldn't come back here if I had a choice, and living in OC, i definitely have choices. For $20, it's not worth it. MAYBE $15 or even better, a Groupon like Spa Renaissance has.. but not $20 flat out. Other spas have more amenities and cleaner/better kept conditions for less money. read more

Very good LA area Korean spa. The jacuzzi was way too cold, which is why I'm only giving it 4 stars. But the steam room is fantastic. Cold soak tub is super nice. Dry sauna is a perfect temperature. read more

I got the Korean Body Scrub and it was great. They have two types of scrubbing pads. One is the normal one Im used to and another is rougher/harsher. Lee started out with the latter and when I asked her to soften up, she switched to the normal scrubbing pad, then proceeded to alternate between the two. I agree with other reviews that the scrub is a more intense. I dont mind it because I have dry skin that doesn't exfoliate well and I need this service badly. For someone who already has normal, soft skin, I'd recommend going for another treatment vs. the scrub. The price is why I gave Thera a try. At most places, a scrub only (no massage) is normally $45 + admission ($20). Thats what the Irvine spa charges. But at Thera the admission fee is waived with purchase of a service so the total is only $45+tips. LOVE it! Another bonus is that Lee's English is good... certainly the best of the scrubbing ladies I have interacted with. UPDATE: It is 1 day later and I noticed a bunch of little red bumps that's popped up all over my body. I think the bumps will go away in a few days but I guess folks are right - the scrub is too rough. I will still go again but I'll ask Lee to use the soft mitts and be more gentle next time. read more

Wi Spa in LA charges $35, it's a well maintained clean spa with modern amenities that include a restaurant, and a rooftop terrace. Wi is open 24/7 and has no ridiculous time limit. Irvine Spa also charges $35, it too is clean, modern and well maintained. The time limit here is 6 hours, very generous indeed. Like Wi, Irvine also has numerous modern amenities like a great restaurant. At Wi and Irvine you feel pampered, and that makes the $35 admission worth it. So why on earth is Thera, a smaller, dingy, outdated "spa" with not a single amenity the other two have, charging the same $35; and on top of that imposing a ridiculously restrictive 2 hour limit? It's hard to relax and feel any pampering when the place looks like 1983 and you have to keep your eye on the clock to not go over and get charged again. If Thera is gonna charge the same amount as the nice spas, then it needs to be better than it is...or seriously reconsider their silly 2 hour limit! read more

I'd been there twice a year ago before the remodel. It looked and smelled old. I had a massage and it was about 40%, relaxing.this isn't the blissful-sleepy-time luxury massage. This is more the "I'm going to rub, pinch and punch every knot out of you even if it kills me!" Went back to check the cleanliness after the remodel but contrary to the other reviews, they do NOT allow you to use the spa services anymore unless you pay for a massage or scrub. The prices are average so I can go somewhere relaxing for less. read more

Called to inquire about the services they provide if the spa, sauna, pool is co-ed or men and women separate. And the lady was very unhelpful. Not rude but robotic. Asked about pricing for massage and the pricing was completely different than what they have online. Just based on this phone call I don't think I would go to this spa center. She did not make me feel welcomed, wasn't very polite, sounded like she hated her job. Didn't offer any alternative. Asked her a question if she knew other spas around and her answer was I have no idea. read more

Thera Spa used to offer services to both men and women. But services for women have been indefinitely suspended, allegedly because of equipment failure. Yet, it continues offering services to men. How come the equipment for the men's spa is so much more enduring. I see a discrimination claim lurking in the steam room. read more

Absolutely love this place. Been coming here alot lately.A great place to relax in the nude and de stress from life. REALLY need to be ok with nudity because everyone is. Everyone does there own thing and people watching is great.lol. Will continue coming for my weekly visits.Always looking for new friends to join!!. read more

Worst spa ever for $20. I don't know how they could think charging $20 for spa to customers without proper maintenance and bath supplies. There was no cup for water but only water purifier machine with a water container put in on the top whose water looked stalled in the container for at least a month. read more
