I’ve been here a few times and notice the same thing over. The man who greets you, answers the phone, and handles the CASH is also the man who massages me. He did go in the back room — I heard water running so is this safe to assume he washed his hands? He starts working on my shoulders and tells me «hard hard» in my left side. I replied«that’s why I’m here» Next, I lay down face up now he’s working on my face and pulling my hair. In between he took 3 calls. Retuning to me Not washing his hands. I’m grossed out. The conclusion of the massage is the pounding in the back. Once he flips you over nothing soothing about it. Pound Pound you’re done! Haha He runs back to the front and waits for me to check out! Hilarious! Collets my payment — I would have tipped his much more, but didn’t. Won’t be coming back here. Oh yah… I went to the bathroom and saw a pair of men’s boxers hanging behind the door. They didn’t appear to be washed. Shouldn’t taken a picture but I was turned off by all the shit in the hallway leading to the bathroom!

The only nice thing about this place were the chairs. The lady that gave me my massage was nice but lacked effort. She wasn’t in uniform like the others so I feel like she just jumped in to assist with an overbooking. The main disappointment was the guy running the place. He was far too aggressive and seemed angry. He snapped at me when I arrived, was upset when I paid with a card and was staring at my card like I was pulling a fast one, very strange. Then when I waited and asked to use his pen, he tossed it at me when an attitude and heavy sigh. I will NEVER come here again.

I am in love with this place. Affordable, clean, comfortable and a delicious massage! Its only $ 20 + tip and they deserve every bit of it. I can’t count how many times I’ve been here but I can count how many times I have NOT fallen asleep! The atmosphere is so calming. The only reason they don’t get 5 stars is because I know my friend goes with me all the time and some times her experience isn’t as enjoyable as mine. It does seem they have one level of massage which is intense(hard) but that works perfect for me because they’re working out these kinks I have. So if you prefer a soft touch be sure to indicate that ASSOON as they begin. Otherwise, try it out… your feet, neck and back will thank you!

Horrible! I had the thin young Asian guy He was horrible. I don’t think these guys even go to massage school. And he didn’t even do my neck and shoulders — the most tense part on most ppl.(he did neck very lightly for 30 seconds. Everything else was my back which was fine. and then he maneuvered awkwardly hard on my shoulder blades. Shoulder blades are mainly BONENOTTISSUE!(Like ouch). Then he did feet that was the best part. Good there! Then had the audacity to BEG for a $ 5 or more tip.. Like why? When it was a horrible job. What’s the point in ADVERTISING $ 25 when u want a $ 10 tip I don’t get it! These Asians don’t be knowing what they doing. I’ve only found a few places that are AMAZING

Great massage until I had to pay and the lady pulls out a paper with a note that says I have to tip $ 5. I had cash but because I didn’t put it on my card she instantly got rude. I’m all for tipping but being reminded again and again that it is forced made me not want to. Lady was rude and sign should be posted, maybe I wouldn’t have felt so upset tipping her even though I was going to anyway lol

Horrible horrible. They used to be good. They don’t have rooms. The noise from cars passing by, honking, telephones ringing, owner talking and answering phone right next to a so call room that’s just a curtain and see thru, no rope or towel, so I asked for one and they gave me a towel. Owner rude too. They need to have someone that can speak some English. I feel bad for the employees there but the owner needs to hire professional people. I should had ran like the other client wrote on a review.

I only see Nancy and I call in advance to schedule her. Always tip %100 because at $ 20 an hour, why not? Yes, they will answer the phone during your session. No, English isn’t anyone’s first language. Get over it. Its $ 20 for a massage. Bonus: get a rewards card and your 11th massage is on the house.(You still have to tip though!)

Horrible, horrible place!!! People, run away! A very dirty place, employees eating and arguing during massage sessions, impossible to relax and enjoy your massage and the most important thing is the worst customer service EVER!!!

Wanted to try this place after being skeptical for years and would drive by and wonder how do they stay in business! Well I now know! Not a fancy place to get a massage, and they do it in a chair contraption thing. But, they are very good and definitely give you some relief. For $ 20 you cannot complain. Just make sure to tip $ 5-$ 10 as these people definitely work hard. They will remember if you tip well!

Enjoyed the heavenly foot and body massage for $ 25 at China Taiji Foot Massage. The young man who served me knew what he was doing and my tight muscles were loosened up instantly. The foot massage was served in the big public room on a big chair with clothes on followed by the 15 – 20 min body massage on the table in a private room. I was asked to remove my T-shirt and covered my back with a sheet. I have been to many foot massage places where body massages were given on the same chair as the foot massage. The table body massage was much better. I will choose a chair further away from the kitchen when I go back to this place. They have to go in and out of the kitchen to change the foot soaking water, thus sitting in the chair facing the entrance of the kitchen was not a good idea. The place is located in a small shopping plaza where a few other small businesses are located, parking can be challenging. I got the last spot today. Not to forget to ask for a punch card to get a free massage after 10 visits. For senior over than 60, 1 hr foot massage is only $ 15 between 10AM and 1PM everyday.

Just left the place. Payed for 1 hr, but get around 40 min only. Nancy is lazy and doesn’t have a clue how to do massage,… working on left side and forgot to do the same moves on the right side. I didn’t want to leave a tips at all, but decided to be nice and left $ 5,… guess what, !!! The guy in the front(probably owner) told me ” only $ 5? ”. I’m not recommend this place!!!

Hidden gem! They really know what they’re doing. One of the best foot massage spots I’ve been to — worth the drive to the valley. Incredibly inexpensive and worth every tiny penny.

This place is really convenient due to its very close to my house and they actually work late, every time I go the employees always answer the phone while they are massaging you witch is really not all that relaxing. The owner he is good but like I said he is always answering his phone not to mention talking to the other employees. Prices are really cheap and most of the time my massage is good not great.

I love this place. I always get the foot massage which is $ 25 and it includes shoulder and back massage. It’s clean and the chairs are comfortable. One full hour of relaxation for just $ 25. Don’t forget to tip them.

The only reason I ever go here is if I’m in a desperate need of a massage and my regular place is booked up. The workers are always talking to each other and they answer the phone while they massage you. The only reason why I’m giving this place 3 stars and not 1 is because they actually do a good job at massaging and the ladies have always been sweet other than that the place is a disaster and if you decide to still go there take a friend or two just to get a good laugh.

After my first visit here last week I probably would’ve given this place 4 stars, however after my most recent visit I can honestly say I will NEVER return. I chose the Combo 1, half foot massage, half table massage. About 20 minutes into my massage, the owner walked up to me, interrupted, and told me he was no longer going to do the table massage portion because the table was now busy. The problem with that? The person who was now occupying it had walked in about 2 minutes ago. So unprofessional. So rude.

I had the massage last night. I chose the combination for $ 25, although I liked her, she came across as a bit superior. I would have liked a pinch more grace. The way she massaged my face was a lot different than what I have had in the past. Again, it seemed masterful, with tracing lines, and slow steady pressure. BUT, I just wasn’t feeling it. To close, I want to add, water was not offered.

Definitely my favorite place so far for a foot massage…$ 20 for a foot massage and if you want a combination massage(20 min back and 40 min foot), it’s $ 25. If you’re looking for a quiet hour and a feel good massage, this is your place! They have punch cards too! Don’t forget to get one :)

Good service. Quieter during the day. One of the better $ 20 foot massage places(that do indeed give you a full body massage). For you skimpy tippers out there, please note that they do have a $ 5 minimum for tips… Which is well worth it.
