I was greeted right away and was able to use the restroom before the massage. Right away was brought to a pretty large room which was cozy & comforting. My therapist was Arya and she was so great, she made me feel comfortable, made sure to check if the pressure was good and it was spot on perfect. She also let me know when the hot stones were going to be used and didn't throw me off by any surprises that I would be confused or nervous about. I do have to say, it's probably one of the best massages I've ever gotten. I'll definitely be coming back here.

I got the standard, traditional Thai massage for 60 minutes and it was incredible. You take off your shoes outside and change into a set of loose clothes inside. As soon as I went inside I could tell that it was going to be an amazing experience! The whole salon smells nice and minty like tiger balm in the most soothing way, and you get your massage in one of the individual rooms / stalls! My bus was running late for about 10 minutes and I called ahead to let them know - Oi was so accommodating and understanding. I appreciate it so much! Bring cash to tip and ask for Oi! I felt like a whole new person after my session it was wonderful!

The one saving grace (and why I'm giving three stars) was the pressure -- strong and consistent. But the technique was lacking. The space is beautiful, clean, and relaxing, but the therapists don't seem well-trained, and the service didn't live up to the setting.

From the clear directions on how to access the space that was sent to me, to her kind and gracious welcome upon my arrival, through the detailed attention she put into working on my sore areas and when I coughed, she immediately paused and came back with a hard candy, before it went any further. After the session she offered me tea and snacks and I felt prioritized throughput the experience.. It was a terrific treatment, that though I was in SF for two weeks, I went a second time and had an even better session, adding a 30 minute foot treatment. One of the best in my life. She's a treasure. I can't wait to go back in the future when I'm back in town.

I received clear and kind communication ahead of my appointment as well, and the generosity of the team in their communications with me did not go unnoticed. Thank you, Mata!

Last month, I finally came back after a long-awaited decision, and yet everything changed. My expectations as a returning customer have changed. I was put in a little side area by the hallway instead of one of the rooms. The bed was like an operating table, squeaky kind of. And the lady giving the massage keeps accidentally pulling the curtain over my face. It felt like a disaster! Also, the service was speedy. I know it wasn't what I paid for, maybe a little over 25 mins. I will never come here again! Talk about bad service!

Self care is so important. If you have never had Thai massage before, just know that it's great but it's not going to be soft and gentle. They really get into your muscles (err my fat) and they may use their feet to step on you to get the knots out. The vibe is comfortable, clean, with fabric curtains separating each massage area. Make sure to tip the massage therapist. They work really hard to make you feel better. Located on Polk and Bush.

Krisi was my masseuse and is excellent!…read more From the warm welcome to put me at ease, to a curious thoughtful intake to understand my needs, and all the way through the massage itself, everything was outstanding. Krisi has an intuitive touch, that found knots I didn't know I had, and which applied just the right pressure - this was especially important to me as I needed help with an injury. Krisi's communication let me know what she was doing and why, and offered some great anatomy lessons along the way, blending consent forward cues and engaging conversation. I've only had one massage with Krisi so far, but it won't be the last! Highly recommend!

At that time, I was still suffering…read morefrom some sudden pain and was trying a few different massage and acupuncture treatment places. While they were all great, I wanted to go somewhere close by that I can walk to. Since this place is nearby, I decided to try it. Wow, really enjoyed my massages by Gabee. She really helped me with managing my pain. She's also very lovely and easy to talk to. There are upstairs and downstairs rooms at this very residential location and Gabee's appointments are usually upstairs, so make sure you choose a therapist that works downstairs if you can't climb stairs. Massage Grotto also has another location in Duboce Triangle, but I haven't tried that location. The treatment rooms are private, clean but no frills. For pricing information, you can check their website as it's different for each service. https://massagegrottosf.com Located in the Inner Richmond district, on California St. between 5th & 6th Avenues.
