Tao Body Work & Spa

I agree with the first reviewer about the sketchiness of it. But then again, all the massage parlors on 40^th road is pretty sketchy. I’ve been here twice. The massage is ok, but the reason I keep coming back is b/​c for $ 30, you not only get a massage, but also a thai stretching. These little women lifted my leg and half my upper body, stretching parts that’s never seen the light of day. It was great! I have yet to find a place in Flushing that does Thai massages that cheap. So in the meantime I’ll keeep coming here. They do offer you a package. like I think it’s 15 massages for $ 320, which is pretty cheap. But times are hard, and I’ll go when I can. The ladies there are nice and obviously fresh off the boat China. Even if they dress in heels, I doubt they know the reason why. I kinda feel bad for them. When I gave them $ 10 tip, their faces lit up like a Christmas tree. Try it out if you want a good long stretch. They try to sell the Tatami mats bc its easier for the girls to life, say, a 180 lb. man.
It’s definitely not the cleanest place, but for $ 30 who’s complaining. Bring hand sanitizer and your own towel if youre that skived out.

After shopping at Macy’s and walking down Main Street going to the parking lot to pick up my car, I was aprroached by an old asian man who was eager to hand me a flyer for a massage. It said something along the lines of the «only spa in Queens with a tatami style massage room» which sounded like a good way to get rid of the kinks in my body. I decided to try Tao out and was sadly disappointed. This place looks and feels dirty and a bit on the «sleezy» side might I add! I’m a female and when I entered there were only scantily clad women in stilletos, short mini skirts, you know the drift. There was one HUGE asian guy who looked like the incredible hulk who might have been a bouncer or UFC fighter. He was behind the counter. So, I get a full body massage for an hour and it was the most awkward experience and I did not enjoy the ambiance at all. I should have left but felt bad because it was pretty dead for a weekend. Bad massage, bad environment, bad vibes… I do not recommend this place at all.
