My sisters and I went to this place to get a foot massage. The owner did not speak English which was fine, however he initially said 5 euro a foot. We were happy to pay that so we sat down. After he rubbed two spots on my ankle for literally 5 minutes he said 50 euros for each foot. We had trouble discussing the unfair exchange of 50 euros for the time he spent on a foot. After not understanding for several minutes he motioned for us to leave and we happily agreed. I wouldn't recommend coming to this place without speaking the language or having a translator. read more

This is THE BEST massage, cupping, etc in Amsterdam. His hands are magic. It hurts but then you feel amazing. He performs Tui Na in a manner that more closely seems to be myofascial release therapy, albeit rough. I've been going here since I was really young, I started in the 90's actually, I think 1998 or 1999. Whenever I am back, which soon will be for good, I am a regular. I don't understand the issues people have communicating. He understands both Dutch and English on a limited basis but if you try to sign a bit he will reciprocate. read more

Well, that was interesting. The man doesn't seem to speak Dutch but doesn't speak English either, which would have been fine if he hadn't kept saying "yes" to just about everything I said or asked. He said "yes" when I asked if he spoke English - since he'd replied "yes" when I spoke Dutch to him. I wanted an acupuncture session but he also kept saying, "Massage. Yes. 1 hour. Yes." I sought this place based on the good Yelp reviews below, and I'm glad others have had good experiences, but if I ever did get the practitioner to understand that I wanted acupuncture I wouldn't have been able to trust him to stick needles in my body :) The search for an acupuncturist goes on! read more

While walking around Amsterdam for a full day, my legs started to really hurt, to the point I could no longer walk....all my muscles started to seize up in my legs, arms and back. I was flying home the next day and knew that if I didn't get some relief, I would be miserable on my 10 hour flight. I happened to notice a Chinese acupuncture place at the beginning of the day and made my way there. The place is a little 2 floor shop. There is nothing shiny or clean about it, but it was functional. The people are nice and helpful. I received a treatment of chi kung massage and some acupuncture cupping for an hour. Although I was mildly bruised for over a week, I felt much better and everything was loosened up. The prices were reasonable, I think I paid 30 euro for 1 hour. read more

I came to this place after spraining my ankle and they have a variety of Chinese medicine treatments. After massaging my swollen ankle with medicine oil and cupping, I was given herbs to put on my ankle for 4 days. The results were immediate, walking was a lot less painful and I was able to catch my flight and do sight seeing the next day. Pricing was very reasonable as well. read more

Love this place. Was here a month ago. Have always had neck pain from being rear-ended in 2007. Had nagging pain. The little lady stuck pins into my arm, neck, and scalp and had the best relief ever. Will be coming back next time I come to Amsterdam. Just a tip...you have to make an appointment if you want to be seen during the day before 1700. After that it is manned and you can just walk in. read more

This place does effective acupuncture and herbal Chinese remedies, even if it's a little rustic and their English isn't the best. Their Dutch is pretty good, however. I came here looking for general acupuncture to relieve stress I had after moving to A'dam and to get rid of this stressy eye twitch I've had for about 6 weeks. Inside I found a nice old Chinese man and (I assume) his son, in a tiny shop surrounded by Chinese herbs. The older man was massaging a tourist's feet and the son translated for him from English to Chinese what I was looking for. I got a price quote for an acupuncture treatment and a Chinese herbal remedy, and I went to see the old man. The old man took my pulse, looked at my tongue and said I had low energy. This may sound weird but it's consistent with acupuncture treatments I've had before. He motioned for me to go upstairs to the treatment rooms, and then motioned for me to take off my clothes (!) down to my underwear. I was able to pantomime getting a towel from him to cover up my butt area, and then he had me lay on my stomach. He did some pretty uncomfortable acupuncture and cupping, but I could feel a real difference as soon as he put in the first few needles. It was like a light switch was turned on inside me and I started sweating profusely for about 10 minutes. He left me with the needles for about 30 minutes and after he took them out I got dressed, went downstairs and he gave me a bag of herbs to boil and drink 3 times a day. I immediately had an increase in energy and the herbs helped even more, which I found amazing. I still feel more energy almost a week later. I still have some circular bruises from the cupping but they don't hurt. Overall the experience was a little weird, but I'll definitely be back, wearing some more modest underwear next time. :) read more

I had a really unpleasant experience here. I found the old man to be very rough with the acupuncture. I usually enjoy acupuncture a lot but he put the needles in so deep that it was painful. He also coughed without covering his mouth constantly which was a huge turn off. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for a therapeutic or relaxing environment. 1 star for the price. read more

Love this place. I stop in for a massage every time I'm in Amsterdam, and always walk out feeling like I got a new pair of feet after a long day walking the canals. read more

I saw the rave reviews Dr. Tong received especially from the States and I had a problem with my neck, back, hips and legs. I have had accupuncture before but this man was very good. His english is non existent, but when I walked in, he almost knew exactly where I was feeling off. We went up stairs and he started to apply all these cups, no accupuncture. i was skeptical but by the end of the 1 hour treatment, I was back almost 100%. He even rubbed this oil over my huge blister on my heel (never wear new shoes when traveling) and it immediately stopped hurting!! His prognosis was I needed to lose weight and so I bought the herbal remedies and will let you know if they work. I also bought the patches which work really well. Highly recommend going here if you aren't feeling 100% read more

i like tcm, have had quite a bit in various countries. prefer these old school places. premises no spa at four seasons but they know their stuff and dont dodge the nasty jobs. english dodgy but the good ones read your health using everything but language. will def return and recommend read more

Not for the faint hearted. It was difficult to communicate. They don't accept credit cards. It's not at all aesthetically pleasing and you don't come to relax, but if you're on serious need of some fixing, this could be your place. After quite alot of walking, my feet were killing me. I was having lunch in Chinatown and found this shop. The gentleman instantly found the root of my problems and vigorously worked on my feet. It was actually painful at first, and I wondered what I had gotten myself into, but when I left, I didn't hurt. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a therapeutic experience. If you want to relax and be pampered, you're better off looking for a spa. read more

Dr. Wing is a miracle worker! I found this place by accident (or maybe providence) after suffering for years with injuries from a bad accident, horrible chronic nerve pain and RSD. The western doctors gave up on me after about 9 years of useless treatments that only made my condition worse and far more painful. They told me to try and deal with the increasing pain and to just mark time until I die because there was nothing else they could do for me. Dr. Wing didn't charge a lot of money and he did moxibustion, accupuncture and Chi-King massage on me. After the first 45 minute session with him I could walk without my cane and I actually ran down the street after not being able to do these things for a decade!!!! I soon returned for 2 weeks of sessions with him and I was entirely cured and my pain was almost entirely gone! I cannot recommend this doctor with more enthusiasm because he literally saved my life!!!! If you have pain - go to Dr. Wing, you will be very happy that you did! read more
