I live very close to Wilshire Spa but had not tried it until I had a really challenging neck issue…read morethat was affecting my rhomboid muscle. PT was helpful, but going to see Betty really helped the most. I prefer deep tissue to get my knots out and I don't care if I have to breathe like I'm in labor to get through it. I generally will choose a man because they have bigger stronger hands, but Betty was awesome. This was real authentic Thai massage with deep tissues and she is very well trained. I left feeling looser and the rhomboid pain was gone completely. I'm so grateful to have found this place. The price is very fair and I always tip $40 because I know how much I'd pay any place else. If you want light Swedish you'd probably be happier at Burke Williams.

I left this place more tense than when I arrived and extremely disappointed…read more I booked a 90-minute Swedish massage and clearly requested light pressure, no finger pulling, and no spine or knuckle popping. I told both the front desk and Pulsri directly. Despite that, she massaged far too hard. I repeatedly asked her to go lighter and told her she was hurting me. She would adjust briefly, then go right back to being too rough, or just move to a different area instead of fixing the issue. She also popped my back and tugged on my fingers multiple times after I explicitly said not to. The headrest was stuffed so there was no opening to breathe. I pointed it out at the start and kept readjusting, telling her it was uncomfortable and hard to breathe, but nothing was fixed. When she saw me move my head she kept asking if I was okay. I expressed my problem but she went right back to massaging instead of fixing the headrest. At the end, while I was still lying there naked under a thin sheet, Pulsri asked if I was tipping in cash or Zelle and continued standing there after I said I'd tip outside. It was uncomfortable and inappropriate. There were also multiple signs in the tiny room stating a $30 minimum tip. Then she stood extremely close while I logged into my phone to send it, ignoring my requests for space and making me uncomfortable about my personal information. This experience was painful, stressful, and unprofessional. I would like a full refund. I now need another massage just to undo the tension this one caused.

I'm posting this because I'm surprised the other reviewers didn't mention it, and I think I…read morewould've liked to know before I went to see Mr. Miagyi. If you are used to going to an establishment and receive your appointed amount of massage, you should read this so you are prepared for everything. I found this place through Yelp, due to the rave reviews (even thought only 4) and how close it is to my house, I decided to give it a try. I called in the afternoon to book an evening appointment. On the website, it says he charges $65/hr. When I called, I mentioned I wanted a one hour massage and we booked a 7pm appointment. The only thing the woman mentioned was they are located behind the Out Of Asia furniture store and I could park in the lot. When I arrived, the gate to the lot was closed so I ended up parking on the street. There was no obvious way of entering the property, it is in a sort of shady part of La Brea ave. So I called the number and the same woman had to come out and let me in. We went into the furniture store and she informed me Mr. Miagyi was on his way. I have been to some random locations for nails or wax, so I'm sort of used to people operating out of odd places...so i didn't think anything of it when I arrived. Once Mr. Miagyi arrived, he led me through the store, out the back door, through a storage area in the back and into a back house. I was slightly weirded out, but decided to go with it. The massage room was in a back house, in a small room on the first level. I walked in and saw a massage table with lots of literature on it, and immediately knew this wouldn't be a normal appointment. Mr. Miagyi sat me down and for the next 50 minutes talked to me about Fend Shui, my chi, my zodiac sign, how I should drink more water, eat less carbs and do more yoga. Sometimes he was a bit odd, sometimes he made sense, he even took two phone calls during the process. I was getting a little anxious b/c I didn't know when the actual massage would start. Around 8:15pm I think was when he started the massage. The massage itself was very good, better than average. I have had better though. I'm very used to the therapist stopping once the hour is up, so I didn't really keep track of time. At some point, the woman who took my appointment (who turns out to be his sister) knocked on the door and told me my boyfriend was on the phone and it was an emergency. When I answered, he was in a panic, b/c it was 10:30pm! He said he didn't hear from me around 8pm (when he thought my massage would be over) so he called to check on me. The lady told him I would probably be done by 9pm. He drove to the actual place, but couldn't figure a way it. Before you think he's insane or too protective, the area is a bit shady and nothing gives you the hint that there's a massage place there. So naturally he was worried. When I didn't come home by 10pm, he called again but couldn't get in touch with anyone. Eventually he got through and that was when I talked to him. So my one hour appointment turned into a 3 1/2 hour session. Mr. Miagyi wasn't done but we decided to stop so I could go home. When I was leaving I told him I hadn't paid, and he told me I would just pay him. I assumed I booked an hour appointment, so $65 and tip I thought it would be around $90. When I asked him how much, he told me $180. I was shocked by the price. That is an acceptable price if I booked a 2 hour massage, b/c I know I did get a 2 hour massage. However, it wasn't what I signed up for and I depended on him to stop the session. Anyways, I said I only had $100 cash (they don't take credit cards), and he told me it was fine, I could just pay him whatever I had. I don't quite know how to sum up the experience. At some point, my crazy imagination wondered if I was going to be kidnapped and killed in the back room. The set up is definitely not traditional and unlike any massage place I have visited. In the end, everything worked out and I received a good massage, but the experience was a bit too odd for me. Mr. Miagyi explained that it is a healing process that he does, not just a regular massage. This is all great if I knew what to expect. I walked in expecting a regular routine hour long massage, but left at 3 1/2 hours. If what I have describe is your thing, then this is a good place to visit. Just know you probably can't squeeze this in b/t your spin class and brunch date. Overall, Mr. Miagyi was very nice and skillful. He was a bit eccentric at times, but harmless. Just be prepared, it's definitely not your run of the mill establishment.

I've had very hit or miss massages here, from being the best value massages in LA to being the…read moreworst. I get the east meets west because it's a great combination of firm and soft massage. Normally they'll focus on one area while still being comprehensive in massaging other areas of the body. Some visits I'll have a really great masseuse who even focuses on range of motion as a concern which is fantastic. Last visit, I had a gruff, unfriendly masseuse who, from the get-go, had little concern for my well being. She started by asking if she could stand on my back, to which I politely declined, and then immediately as the first move of the day proceeded to climb onto my upper thighs instead. I started off upset, as I would not have consented to *any* standing work had she asked. The remainder of the appointment was so aggressive, even when I expressed I was uncomfortable. When she started the hand massage, she pulled my first finger so hard out of the joint that I cried out in pain, and instead of apologizing, she threw my hand down and moved onto a different body part (skipping the entire hand massage). She was also really invasive in the groin/glute area that left me so uncomfortable :( I would've written this off as a one-time thing but the staff handled the situation poorly. I tried tipping 15% (shoutout for tipping at all!!) and they frankly kept refusing and adding 20-25% to my credit card. I had to separately request for the Venmo of the masseuse to avoid tipping their suggested amount which I found really pushy and unnecessary. In addition to the staff rescheduling my appointment time each visit, I've unfortunately reached my limit and won't be returning.
