My mom and I have been going to Tokyo Shiatsu for years after discovering this gem. Mr. Ko and team are phenomenal-- utmost professionalism, skillset, and courtesy. Always clean and calming. We gladly continue to give them our business because the value is unmatched. Cash only: $60/hr before tip. Thank you! read more

Mr Ko has been in this biz for several years. Today I had new masseuse whose name is Yuka. She is a cute petite lady but her technique and strength are incredible! She's very friendly. My shoulders are extremely tight and one side has impingement. She handled with care. After her magic touch, just felt so relieved. Of course my problem isn't something that can go away in one massage session. However, having relief from the extreme tightness is worth it. The only regret is I didn't book 90 mins! read more

I receive and give massages often, so I went in with low expectations. Ako really impressed me. She's smaller than me but has very strong hands and obvious Shiatsu experience. You can tell from the way she moves her body and uses her thumbs. She found all the right trigger points that many therapists miss, and she used perfect pressure. No soreness the next day. I'll definitely go back. read more

Hands down the best massage place. I prefer deep tissue massages and this place never disappoints. I've tried going to other spas/massage parlors and always wind up coming back here. 10/10. read more

I highly recommend to call for a reservation as they're frequently booked. It's located behind the food plaza. Which is quite hidden, I know, but it's worth it. After a long drive, there's this stiffen/soreness on my neck, back & shoulders---my bad posture got worse. No joke, I'm pretty sure I was hunching like a turtle. I really feeeel it, when your older siblings makes comments about their back pains lolol. After getting a massage, the next day, I felt SOOOO GOOD. Thank you for making me feel pain free (: read more

You know, I tried to give multiple chances to this place, but the people do not know how to give shiatsu massages . It doesn't feel good. Actually feel like they're gonna break their little fingers. The only person who knows how to give a massage is owner, that man. But the owner he doesn't like giving massages anymore and he is lazy. He's very rude speaking shit in Japanese. I stopped referring people here and also told my friends about my experience. Obviously I stopped going here because every time he switches me to a different person and it's like the worst massage ever! They only take cash ! IRS audit them! read more

I have been coming here for over 3 years and they are all amazing. Yumi is my massage therapist and she kicks my ass in a good way . Her touches, her stretches she knows massages and trigger points and the nerve system very well and I always feel better after I visit. Thank you read more

I highly recommend them. I struggle with tight neck and shoulders due to my job but I feel so much better every time after the massage and gives me the relief that I need. They know what they are doing for sure! Great service too, they are always very nice. read more

This is the best place for a Shiatsu massage. This is more than a cosmetic massage. This business offers a therapeutic massage that take care of many problems. You need to ask for the owner Mr Ko and be patient. Many conditions may need more than one visits to be completely healed. They also have an excellent service of detoxification. The staff is very professional and nice. The office is neat and relaxing. I really appreciate the service and the courtesy I got each time. read more

I found this massage place and desired to give it try. Mr Ko was very professional and knew how to work the areas that needed help in my body, he knows his job, and has is very knowledgeable. I will come back to keep working on my shoulders and neck. He did an amazing job. Justo to let you know, he only takes cash, so come prepar read more

I went in for a massage for the first time yesterday and what an amazing experience it was! The staff was friendly and my masseuse, Mako, was Excellent. I felt like I hit a masseuse jackpot. After I gave a general description of where I was experiencing pain, Mako worked her magic and figured out where else could I could be hurting and worked on those areas with care and expertise. I kept thinking, wow this woman knows what she's doing plus some. I dare say it was one of the best massages I had and I've had my share over the years. Already booked an appointment for a 2nd visit and can't wait to make referrals to family and friends. read more

It's been a little over a week that I had a massage here and I only wish I had known about this place sooner. I have slept better and am pain-free. Thank you so much, Ko! I know I will be back!!! My only advice would be to make sure you have cash. I usually don't have cash with me and don't know what I would have done if I didn't have just enough for that and the tip! read more

My new favorite massage place. This is my 2nd time here and thoroughly enjoyed the massage. I like the fact that you don't need to get undressed (they lay a thin sheet over you) and the ambiance is very peaceful. I need to start coming on a weekly basis - I didn't realize just how tense I was until we had our massage. If you're looking for a wonderful shiatsu massage, please take the time to give this place a try. read more

This place is my favorite massage place by far. When you call they almost never answer (they are probably massaging), so just leave a voicemail, or just text them at the number, they always get back to you. You leave your clothes on, and they put a sheet over your back, and they really work hard. They listen to where you need work, and put a lot of effort into it. It is probably also one of the cheaper massages in the area. Small business, want to support them, they are soo so so so nice. Just text them back and forth! read more

I love this place i literally cant get a masaage anywhere else.only thing that sucks is its far from my house but its worth the drive . I found this placeby accident after my regular massage place no longer had the masseuse i use to go to . Anyways u have to call leave a voicemail and they call u back . Anyways as someone who lives with constant stress this place alwats leaves me so relax i end up falling asleep . If i could give this place 100 starts i would read more

Ater 2 weeks of traveling in Japan, on a tour and changing hotel every night, bus and train rides, etc. my lower back started acting up. My wife and I looked for a good massage solution of any kind - Thai, chiropractor, shiatsu, and found Tokyo Shiatsu on Yelp. We called for an appontment Saturday morning and the first available was 3pm for 2 people. I saw some reviews saying it's hard to find, but just drive all the way back behind the main shopping center and it's on the right. When we got there, we heard kids' voices and babies crying, so were a little confused what was going on. It may be that it's a family business, so they bring their kids and take turns taking care of them. For those looking for a spa experience, look elsewhere. It didn't bother us. There are a couple of private couples' rooms so it was nice for us. They all speak Japanese here, but still pretty good English so there's no problem either way. We liked it because it felt like we were still in Japan. We had Carrie and Aya, and they did a great job. For $30 / hr, it was well worth it and left a nice tip for both of them. Definitely call for an appt. because we heard many people calling and getting turned down because they were full for the day. Happy to find this place and we will be back! read more

Tokyo Shiatsu - Google maps is close, but you have to go behind the main shopping center into the back where there is a little 'traffic circle'. - Massage Therapy Near Me - Orange, California

Every time I come here I feel more relaxed from when I went in. I had an older gentleman that did my massage today and he was great, the pressure was on point and oh boy did he relieve my sinus headache I had coming in. The place again is a little tricky to find but after the first time u get use to it. The price of paying with cash is $30 an hour what a steal, I tip $15 he was great and I can appreciate a good massage. Your clothes are on whole time, I recommend something light to wear i wore my maxi dress and it was perfect. I am looking forward to coming back again, could really get use too. Thank you Tokyo Shiatsu! Thanks for keeping your prices affordable much appreciated! read more

By appointment only for now. Leave a message and someone will contact back for appointment schedulling as they do not answer phone while working with a client. Temperature checked upon arrival and each has got its own room, well ventilated and sanitized. I got Nana San, very friendly and knows how to unknot my sore muscles. She checked with me numerous time on the pressure of her massage. Took me no time to doze off in such relaxing massage after being sore all over for the past week.... Will be back glad I found you all! read more

i love going here because i leave feeling pain free and relaxed! ive been coming here for years and recommend coming as they adjust pressure if you ask and like to support a small business too! (they prefer cash) read more

This place has great prices. It's something ridiculous like $35/hr, but they require you to tip a certain amount. It's posted inside. I think I paid $105 including tip, for two people to have an hour massage each. I would give them five stars if they didn't talk so much. It's hard to get comfortable and enjoy the massage because the employees talk a lot. They're super sweet, it just kind of makes it difficult to relax and enjoy the moment. You can't beat the price though. And the shiatsu massage is great. If you don't mind talking, then this place is a gem. You should go to this place if below, is your level of importance. 1. Shiatsu Massage 2. Price 3. Ambience/Noise read more

This place is truly amazing. The prices are reasonable and the experience was over all great. I'll definitely be returning. The massage was amazing. And they were very detailed, the quality of their massage was perfect. It didn't feel rushed and it felt like they truly did their best. read more

I have been battling sciatica in my left leg for 2 weeks. I was in such pain, I couldn't stand it any longer. The wonderful staff at Tokyo Shiatsu was kind enough to squeeze me in on a Saturday. The experience was perfect. They zeroed in on my pain and followed up with a massage that left me exhausted in a good way. My treatment helped alleviate some of my pain. I am grateful to the staff and will continue my care with them. read more

Such a terrific experience! Micky knew right away how to address my neck and shoulder issue. I love the comfortable environment and Ko's kind and efficient service. read more

Great experience and great massage for the cost. Ko really helped me with my sciatica and Nana gave my bf a great massage and really made him feel worked out and relaxed. read more

Being to many different massage places, from Westminster to Irvine to Fullerton to even Thailand, I can say I am somewhat a massage snob. Generally, at least in my experience, the ones who give some and strong massages were either men or more elderly woman. So when I first realize that my masseuse was a young Japanese lady, I was a bit disappointed and expected the same massage I get each time I get a young one , weak and sad. However boy did she surprise me ! Her pressure was on point and about five minutes into the massage, I fell fast asleep due to the comfort! This place blew my mind ! Can't wait to go back again ! Like others had mentioned , being only $30! Nothing can beat that !! I suggest tipping at least 10. read more

I've only been getting massages for about two years now. Tokyo Shiatsu was the first massage shop I tried out in the US-- my first massage ever was in Vietnam and boy was that a relaxing and affordable experience. I was introduced to this place by a friend who gets massages often. He highly recommended we try it out and I figured we might as well make use of time while we waited for our 1-2 hour wait for omakase at Ohshima nearby. We were lucky enough to get an opening for two people that day. It's usually so busy here and there have been days when it's all booked up days in advance, but we lucked out with a last minute appointment. The massage was so much better than the ones I get in Westminster/ Garden Grove. I'm used to being kneaded like cough, but here, I was massaged until all my muscles were relaxed and at ease. The find knots even I don't know I have and they slowly work on loosening them up. My favorite masseuse is an older Japanese lady. She works wonders! I need to ask for her name next time. She works with the perfect amount of pressure when it comes to restoring my muscles back to a good state. They don't use oils; they just put a sheet over your body and massage away. Make sure to wear comfortable loose clothing for optimal results. At $30/hour, who can complain. What a great start to my evening as I walk over to my delicious omakase dinner at Ohshima after. This place is a serious treat. And for this price, I'll be coming back whenever I'm in the area. read more

I have been here twice and had a great Japanese shiatsu. I don't call it a massage because shiatsu is pressure point . Also I believe they use a thumb to get to that pressure point. I had Long term TMJ pain and many other joint pain, and it helped so much. Nana worked on me both time and we had good conversation. It would help to relax if talk less I suppose. Unfortunately is hard because we had the same interest on certain topic. read more

Have been looking for a while for a new massage place as I can seemingly never be satisfied by any price nor quality of massage haha. And most massage places I've been are pretty inconsistent at best. Well in my price range I luckily located this place and had it bookmarked for a while I was willing to try a new style of massage and it was time where my knots were beginning to add up. Don't like footsie massage places, if I wanted to rub my feet I'd go to Brookstone and some have very shady qualifications... don't have money for high end massage places but still want some privacy and high quality treatment for my ailments, aches, and pains. Called them for an appointment on a Sat. morning and they easily fit me in for 11am, one hour treatment for the advertised price of $30, which is around $50 if you walk in without an appointment. Bit confusion on the phone as she told me they don't take card, which I was having trouble hearing after two tries, so I brought cash and card just to be safe. Showed up a couple of minutes late because it's a bit hard to find from the street, but no worry they were still able to easily accommodate me. With little explanation, she told me to remove all my personal belongings from pockets and asked if I had any injuries. Nothing I could think of, so I proceeded to lay down on the table as explained. Halfway through, they instruct you to, then at the end you pay and they offer you water and tea. The environment is very quiet and serene and you could actually fall asleep if you're not careful. There are two rooms with two beds in each room, as far as I could tell. So it's not private but it's small enough that you're not overly concerned with privacy. They have other choices like a 90-minute massage, but I wasn't too interested in this as it was my first time, and an hour is usually more than enough treatment for me for one day. What's different about this place is: a) it's clothed and b) you're rubbed through a thin sheet, rather than bare skin with oil. Neither of these are bad, even if it takes some getting used to the first time. I highly suggest wearing ultra-thin clothes if you can, as it will only aid in your massage. I didn't know this going in, but it didn't detract as much as I expected. Shiatsu is pretty much a fingertip pressure (Japanese) massage, but they occasionally use other parts of their hand or arms to work on you. In general you can adjust the pressure or the areas that they're focusing on, which is nice. Overall it's a very positive and relaxing experience, not to mention therapeutic. The woman performing my massage was the main lady there, I guess her name is Ko judging by what everyone says. But everyone says all the massage therapists there are good, so I'd try whoever they set me up with. Can't wait to go back again and give them more of my business. read more

Tokyo Shiatsu - Behind Poke District and Turner's Outdoor. - Massage Therapy Near Me - Orange, California

Every time I come here, I call in advance to make sure they have time, and every time I arrive, I am walked into a private room where I can enjoy my massage in peace and quiet rather than being in the room where people are constantly walking in and out of. The staff here is really nice and ask you where you'd like them to focus more attention on. Be warned though, pressure point massages can get quite painful!!! but it does the job. They make sure everything is good throughout the massage. It was a little difficult to find the first time I came here because I was new to the area and GPS was leading me to the middle of nowhere, but when I finally made it here it was one of the best massages I have ever received. I felt brand new and wish I could come here more often than I do as the prices here are slightly higher than what I am used to. read more

This is definitely a hidden gem of Orange. I found this place when Yelping and gave them a call. Teresa picked up the phone and she said she could take me in an hour later. Cool! This place is very clean and organized. However their restroom is located outside, at the right corner of the building. It's not quite convenient; but given the size of the facility, I think having an outside restroom is understandable. As I'm petite, Teresa put moderate pressure on my neck and back. I really loved when she released the tension on my scapular muscles and lower back. Her techniques were amazing. This was one of the best massage I ever had. I enjoyed the whole experience. But there was one thing I didn't like. During the massage, Teresa left for like 1 minute to receive a call from a customer (since no one else was there)... I'd give this place 5 stars if she hadn't picked up the phone. Will I come back to have more massage? Yes! (Please just don't pick up your phone when giving me a massage.) read more
