Eastern Relax

I love this place and would give it five stars if they understood me a little better. They don’t speak much English. The massage is awesome but sometimes they keep going even if you say 1 hour. It’s not enough to keep me away and I believe they are just trying to be thorough. The place doesn’t have all the frills but you can’t go wrong if you are looking for a deep tissue massage and I am super picky!

The best massages! I go there any time I’m feeling tense or get really tight. They help me so much!

I had a solid 60 minute, deep back massage here. The masseuse used her elbows and upper body strength to push my tolerance levels to the edge. The price is a little bit less than other places. The environment is clean and casual, not spa-​ish, but functional. My only underlying concern is the split that the masseuse receives. She spoke absolutely no English and I made sure the tip went in her hand.

The massage was very nice. I asked for a 60 minute body massage. The person converted it to two sessions of 30 minutes each — charging me $ 75 instead of $ 60– 30 for table massage and 30 minutes for feet. I thought that was not a nice thing to do. Hence the low rating. The massage was really very good.

I thought Fishion Herb Center (107 Mott Street in Chinatown, NYC) was stellar BUT today I quite possibly had the best table back massage of my life at Eastern Relax. There was a bit of everything — very deep tissue massage, tuina, and hot stone massage. I brought my own oil after reading some reviews. The place is clean, warm, had soothing music playing. The traditional Asian masseurs/​euses are friendly and don’t speak so much English which is fine by me. I going back! Thanks to the Unilocal reviews for leading me to the right place.

I was not a fan. I went because of shoulder/​neck pain, and it still hurt afterwards. This place might be a good place for a relaxing massage, but it’s terrible for actual aches that need deep tissue work.

Solid massage place

Don’t expect a soft robe, slippers or lemon water. No new age music either. But if you want immediate relief from your back pain, this is the place. I suffer from chronic myofascial back pain (muscle knots), and I walked in on a Sunday afternoon without an appointment. I left 45 minutes later feeling better than ever. I agree with the other comments about the language barrier, but in my case it was not a problem because the therapist new exactly where to concentrate. Very reasonable prices as well. I’ll be back!

This place is great. I can’t wait to get there tomorrow as my back is killing me and I know she will fix it up. It’s not gentle happyland pamper world but when you have an actual issue, this is where you want to be.

This place is amazing. The therapist gave me a really deep massage and worked out all my knots (there were many, it was painful) which left me feeling completely rejuvenated and relaxed. They have the usual ambient, dreamy spa playlist, and the massage stalls are definitely not luxury but get the job done when it comes to modesty and keeping your bits away from plain view.
There’s definitely a language barrier, but the therapists are good at communicating otherwise with keywords and hand motions. The studio is above Mehek, the Indian restaurant, and they’re open 7 days a week!
I’m definitely going back, but I’ll take my own oil. They use mineral oil/​baby oil, and I’m not a fan of the scent… just a personal preference on my part.

This place is good for those in need of a really strenuous massage. I went here with my Fiancé and we both got chair massages. I found mine to be a little too painful. She really gets in there. My Fiancé liked it and he goes there sometimes.

Pretty much the only place to get a reasonably priced (about $ 1/​minute) massage near Princeton. I like that it’s conveniently located across campus and the extended hours. Usually you can pop in here on a whim and be served quickly, if not right away. Not much ambience, though; it feels cluttered and mildly sketchy (even though it’s not). The massages are pretty good, though there’s some variability between the different ladies. Some of them are pretty good at recognizing repeat customers. If you have specific demands, you might find it difficult to communicate them, though.
They have a frequent flyer card — 100 minutes gets 10 minutes free — which is nice.
