No photos since this establishment requires patrons to be naked in the wet areas…read more It's one of the more competitively priced Korean spas in the NYC area at $40 for the entrance fee with no time limit. Bonus points for the free underground parking which is especially valuable in the Flushing area. You pay at the front, leave your ID, then take off your shoes before heading downstairs to the wet area. There's shoe cubbies on the first level, but I prefer to take my shoes downstairs to your assigned locker so I don't have to worry about them potentially going missing. For proper etiquette just make sure to hold off on putting them on until you get to the first level when you're leaving. The co-ed clothed area (uniforms provided at check-in) is on the second level. There's additional saunas (clay, salt, etc.), ice room, sleep room, lots of recliners and even a restaurant up there. The wet area is pretty typical for a Korean spa. Gender segregated and nude only. There's a cold plunge, hot pool and warm pool. A row of seats for relaxing. A row of standing showers and two rows of sitting showers. Body scrub area. Sauna and steam room. Im from California but visit New York Spa & Sauna every time I come, which is about twice a year. However, this time I found the experience to be slightly different. Mainly that there's now a spa attendant in the men's wet area who sits right outside of the steam room. He frequently checks the steam and sauna plus strictly enforces the eight person capacity in the steam room. I can assume the purpose is to curb potential misconduct. IYKYK. On my prior visits, especially during the winter, there's times where upwards of a dozen or more people would be packed into the steam room at a time, quite the sausage fest. So I guess it's a plus for you now if you prefer having a little more space in there. The attendant was friendly enough and seems to strike a good enough balance of doing his job and not being too intrusive. I just found it slightly less relaxing since he's constantly counting up and down as people enter and leave the steam room. "Three, two, one, full, one, full, one, two, one, full, one two, three, two, one full, one, full again, please wait" is all you'll constantly hear now in the wet area. Eventually I did tone it out and even knocked out on one of the chairs for a bit, so I still found it overall a relaxing experience, just slightly less so than before. The spa opens until 11pm but the steam closes as 8:30pm and sauna at 9:00pm. If you stay past that, you're welcome to use the other amenities until they announce the check-out time which is a bit before 11pm. Overall, I stayed for nearly five hours and still had a fun and relaxing time. The place was clean and well maintained which is a huge plus for me.

Place was clean and nice! Although the hours on their website was incorrect:…read more - the steam room closes at 8:30p - The wet area closes at 9p (the gender-specific sauna is also part of the wet area) - the sauna upstairs closes at 10:20p - they want every one to check out by 10:45p

But the birthday boy wanted to come, and it's hard to argue against the $30 entrance fee (massages and such are additional). That said, if I had to K-spa again, I wouldn't come back here. There was a good 10-15 min during our stay when one staff member was angrily yelling at another member at the top of his lungs. I couldn't understand what he was saying since it was all in Korean, but I'm grateful for that actually. Combined with the questionable cleanliness and bare bones decor, I can't imagine why anyone would choose to come here when there are better options in Queens.

This was my middle child and…read morefriend high school graduation gift from me and because I still have one child who is still under age, I wanted to celebrate with her joining the party. We had a ball! They loved it, and didn't want to leave. Customer service was outstanding, everything was clean and well maintained. The lifeguards they have on duty were alert and ready to respond to emergency's. We had an amazing time. Now with all the good stuff being said, let's get to some tips and suggestions. Yes this place lets you bring children, because of this I suggest you come as early as possible. The early the better. We got there an hour after opening and we got to experience everything. It starts to get crowded after 1pm. I personally think although they allow children, even that should be an age limit. I saw children there who were too young to understand what a spa is and probably thought it was a day at the pool, I saw more swimming than I would preferred to see. It definitely can take away from your experience. Most of the food prices are reasonable but some were outrageous! If you want any personal spa services you have to book them in advance and me personally they are way too expensive! This place could make some small improvements but I appreciate what they have to offer and how they are different from most spas. It helps me to teach my girls to know that it's okay to relax or wind down. The next day will have its own anxiety's. Thumbs up and a Happy Yelping!

Came today to escape the heat wave that is hitting New York the day before the Fourth of July. I…read moreexpected it to be crowded, but what I didn't expect was basically a kindergarten??? It was impossible to relax in any of the pools available because there were children jumping and screaming and climbing and splashing water all over everyone. The only lifeguard on duty during the afternoon was on his phone giggling THE WHOLE TIME, even when kids were diving in a pool literally 2 feet deep. What I also did not expect was having to wait 40 minutes in line for a drink. There was only one person doing the drink, and then another one coming back and forth from what I found out to be the kitchen upstairs. Counting the people INSIDE the kitchen, cooking, there were a total of 5 people doing food and drinks during a fully booked day at lunch time. Also wasn't prepared to spend $26 + gratuity + tax for a drink (they automatically charge gratuity and then ask if you want to leave a tip lol) ON THE BRIGHT SIDE the place was clean and well kept, even the bathrooms were perfectly clean. Yes, a few hair here and there, but it was expected. The saunas were good and they had a good variety. I don't know if I'll come back during a weekend or festivity, $110pp seems a lot to not being able to relax.

Easy to see why the reviews here are all over the board…read more This place is part hot mess, part disorganization--I'm being kind, and part dismay--wondering how it is they are still in business. Come at your own risk. And after saying that, I'll likely return, but bear with me. Tuesday: tried calling to make sure they were open as their hours were advertised as 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. every day of the week. Couldn't get an answer on a Tuesday so thought maybe just busy, took the subway down and walked the nearly mile one way, arriving at 4:30 p.m. Locked, not open. I call several times, finally get an answer: "we open at 6:00 p.m." Nope, not waiting around so away I go. Next day, Wednesday, around 5:00 p.m. start calling, get busy signals continuously, no answer. Arrive at 6:00 p.m., not open. Busy signals continue. Wait until 6:30 p.m., still closed, decided to go for a walk around the block and if they aren't open when I return I'm done. Return at 6:40 p.m., the door is open. WTF? Guy at the desk is 1st grade English level at best, but nice. Tries to explain what's available. Main hot sauna is out of order (turns out being totally rebuilt and looked quite nice). Other hot sauna out of order as well. Steam room working, he says "not very warm," which is correct. It's a freaking lung choking oven that when at full blast you can see about a foot. I sit near the door. Only three other people in the entire building I can see and two are in the pool, someone giving a swimming lesson to a kid and mister Eastern European. I keel over and I'm dead in 60 seconds. Obviously, this written just before that occurred. Kidding. I go in and out spending maybe 30-40 minutes in there. That purged the Burmese, Malaysian, Tibetan, Bangladeshi food downed earlier in the day. The "cold" pool mentioned by others was lukewarm. The hot whirpool just a little warmer than lukewarm, the main pool about what I'd expect. And alas, no one on staff to deliver the famed banya beating with branches. The story I came to experience will wait until another time. This place is frozen in time, say 1960. I saw no food being served but some that was left over on a dining table apparently from the day before or earlier. More of the hot mess. Finally, I chat with the guy running the place and he concedes things are in disarray, apologizes, says only pay what I wish. I gave him $20 for what was to be a $35 fee. And yes after all that, I'm sort of intrigued. If and when things hit all cylinders here, and a friend said they do, I can see it being pretty cool. Otherwise it operates about like I'd think a lot of things operate in Eastern Europe. One thing for sure, had there been vodka around after this experience, I'd have been into it. I'm not someone that likes vodka, but this experience made me want to do shots like a bunch of Russians doing the best to pickle their livers. To be continued. Maybe. If you come: I'd suggest bring cash only. Call ahead. They don't tell you they're open, don't show up. Looking for an upscale Hilton spa? This, most assuredly, is not it.

The massage itself was average but the customer service was very poor. They speak amongst themselves and lounge around while playing videos on their phones loudly. It doesn't exactly add to what should be a relaxing experience. The employees clearly did not want to be there and were very unfriendly. It was not the cleanliest establishment as I witnessed wet towels in buckets within the restroom and the employees throwing used towels on the massage chairs. I was grossed out since no customer would want to witness a business's unsanitary conditions. I was absolutely bewildered when the employee refused my tip because it did not live up to his standard. A tip depends on what the customer thinks you are worthy of receiving and should not be mandated. THIS BUSINESS DEMANDS $10 MINIMUM TIP REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE CUSTOMER THINKS!!!! THIS WAS NOT FULLY DISCLOSED BEFORE I RECEIVED MY SERVICE!!!! So to sum it up: Body Massage $30 + Required Minimum $10 Tip = $40 Foot Massage $10 + Required Minimum $10 Tip = $20 The sign outside the shop is absolutely false and is extremely misleading. They need to update their sign and be upfront with prices. I would not have been so upset about the tip if the whole experience was not so disappointing with friendlier service. They lack basic customer service. STAY AWAY!

Full disclosure: I didn't actually get a massage here…read more But - I tried. Unbeknownst to them, I understand Mandarin. And the following exchange ensued between two masseuses, clearly chilling, on the couch: "You take him." "No, you take him." "No, you take him." "No, YOU take him."

The boss was mad: "See what you did?!" I went around the corner to Xiao Zhou 142-40 roosevelt, bypassing another place that wrote "MINIMUM tip $10!". XZ was $25, and I tipped $15, it was that awesome. Not 1 star b/c I didn't experience it - but not 3, 4, 5 b/c it clearly wasn't going to be any good with that exchange. My 2 cents.
