Parking: this place is located in a shopping center, which can be a bit of a headache. Luckily, there was a parking garage where I was able to easily find parking.
Place: I originally came to this area to eat at the tofu house, but there was a long wait so I decided to get a massage instead lol. I walked in and was taken in immediately. I got an hour massage of both feet and body. I chose to stay out on the chair, and it was a pretty good experience. One man getting a massage would not stop talking, which got annoying. And the man next to me was snoring super loud.. lol! Obviously, these are things outside of the place’s control, but something to be aware of that may happen during your experience.
Massage: OH MY GOSH!! Soooo good! I have pretty chronic back and neck pain/discomfort, and I felt sooo good after the massage! My masseuse really dug into some areas which was a littleeeee painful, but so worth it! The massage was $30 and I left a $10 tip. The masseuse was appreciative, which I appreciated. (I’ve been to places that FORCE you to leave a certain amount for tip). They also offer acupuncture and cupping, which is different from other places I’ve been to.
I’d definitely come here again!

This is by far my favorite place to get a massage. The massage you get is unbelievable for 1 hour. Literally head to toe with your feet dipped in hot water. I like me a good deep tissue massage. If that is not your thing, this might not be the best place for you. But for me it is heavenly. Massage cost $20. I usually tip from $8 to $10. I have never been asked to tip more. And a $10 tip is so well deserved for the hard work they do

WOW. I have gone to countless of different massage places, and have finally found “The One”. Definitely my new favorite place for a good and satisfying massage! The setup is your typical asian massage place. Don’t imagine a private room to start with or staff in professional uniform. Here, you are paying for the quality of the massage, not for the atmosphere. So just keep that in mind. The basic breakdown of a foot massage (but is really a full body massage), is they first have you sit to soak your feet in warm water and massage your head, neck and back. They then have you lie down on your back and massage your legs and feet. After, they move you to the back to some private rooms that are dimly lit and separated by curtains, where they have you lie on your stomach and finish with massaging your arms and lower back. This is all done within an hour.
GOODS:
-Inexpensive: Best price for an amazing massage.
-The masseurs and masseuse are very kind and have very soft and strong hands. They will adjust the pressure to your liking, just let them know
-I had Paul, and he was AMAZING. I prefer the strongest pressure and he was able to do it the whole way through (an hour session). He also cracked my neck, back, and other places which I love! He was also gentle so I was never in pain.
-One of the things that made this place stood out was that Paul focused on areas where he found knots and actually worked them all out! Most massage places that I go to, the masseurs and masseuses just go through the routine without really paying attention to problem areas, even when you ask them, like my shoulders
-First massage place I’ve been to where they keep you fully clothed!
NOT-SO-GOODS:
-The first part of the full body massage (aka foot massage) is right in front of the place, in front of everyone who walks through the door. No individual rooms or curtains to separate you from others (until the second part of the massage). Other massages I have gone to usually give you the massage from beginning to end in a private section divided by walls or curtains.
-Most of the workers are masseurs (male), so if you are uncomfortable and would prefer a masseuse (female) be sure to let them know or call ahead
-Masseurs and masseuses mostly speak Mandarin, and very broken English. So just be patient when you are explaining or talking to them
Overall, I don’t think I would be finding another massage place to go to, because I will be going here from now on when I need a massage! Definitely recommend if you are willing to sacrifice privacy, and upper/fancy lifestyle for a least an hour.

I came here last week and had my 2nd foot massage ever. It was very luxuriating and soothing.
The atmosphere is great but more appealing to me was the attention to detail and courtesy of my massage lady.
She massages all the trigger points in my foot and I literally felt like I was overcome in complete ecstasy.
For anybody unfamiliar with foot massages, this is my new treat that I will reward myself with weekly. It was truly heavenly.
I recommend you ask for a lady named CiCi, she did a great job for me!
Thank you for a very stress free massage!
I will definitely be back.

I’m traveling from San Francisco. Everytime I go to LA I will visit this massage store because I think one of the therapist Mr Yang has good skills and they had good attitude. I also recommended many friends to go. However after the 4th times visit. I will never go again because the therapist pressed too hard even I told him it’s hurt and be softer. He made me has bruises on thigh and back. Also when I check out, I paid them 19% tips and they told me I gave too little. Then I gave 30% tips and they still said ‘ do you think you’re eating in a restaurant? That’s too little!’ In front of all the customers inside the store. Then they asked me for 50% tips and I end up gave them because I don’t want to argue.
I am extremely disappointed and felt deceived. I will never go to this store because of their dishonesty.

I leave this place always feeling brand new and refreshed. The workers there don’t really speak English/ very little but it’s okay because it’s definitely worth it. Every time I’ve been there it’s always been great. The foot massages are my favorite! Be sure to call ahead if you do plan on going because it does get kinda busy sometimes. This is my favorite massage pl

I visited this place on a groupon, like many of the other commentors. They play the ” I don’t understand” card when dealing with you. They seem very unorganized when figuring out which staff member will handle you and what is included in the groupon. They have no concept to keep their chatter to a minimum and speak softly. From an atmospheric/ environmental experience I can not reccomend this place. I gave them 2 stars due to the guy who did give me my massage. He was very good. And amazingly, he could understand enough English to be effective. But the guy running the place was a a joke.

I came back from Vegas tired and sore from all the dancing and walking around in high heels so I knew I needed a foot massage. This spot happens to be near one of my close friend’s house so I’ve been here a few times when I had some time to kill before/after seeing her. I knew this spot would not disappoint!!
I usually get the #2 or the #5.
The #5 is $15 for 25 minutes of acupressure, 20 minutes of foot reflexology and 15 minutes body massage. This is my favorite spot for a “$15 foot massage” in the San Gabriel Valley.
This time, knowing my body and feet needed extra TLC, I got the #2 which gives you 45 minutes of acupressure massage on a massage table and 30 minutes of foot reflexology — all for just $25!! What a deal
I got David and he was very nice. I was seated in the front corner area and he went and got the hot water for me to soak in. I was trying to endure the hot water because I knew my feet needed it, but he actually went and got cold water to make it more tolerable for me 🙂 I guess my facial expressions are obvious in any language.
I soaked my feet for 15 minutes and David came back and gave me an AMAZING 30 minute foot massage… He could feet that my feet were damaged. I felt so much better afterwards!!
After that I went to a different room where there were massage tables and curtains separating each massage bed. A majority of the massage session on the massage table was face down. David was able to get all of the kinks out of my shoulders and my neck that I have accumulated from my desk job. I could tell he really knew what he was doing! He just knew where to apply pressure without causing pain.
Normally I feel like they cheat you on time, but on this visit with David I feel like I got extra massage time!! I gave him $40 and said he did not have to give me change. He was very happy and he told me he is there everyday except Thursdays. I will definitely come by when I’m already visiting my friend in this area!!
This place is really inexpensive and the massage quality is really good… but the workers can get a bit chatty. Their phones are not even on silent and it would go off quite often. They even answer their phones when it goes off!!!!!! =/ And their English is limited so there is definitely a communication barrier for people like me who aren’t Chinese. But if you can ignore all of that… this location is great!!! They even have a stamp card 🙂

I’ve been coming here for years! I am only giving them 3 stars because a few of their employees are not pleasant to deal with. However, I keep coming here because I feel great after my massage and it’s cheap!
This place is located in a small plaza. There are two different locations in this plaza, one upstairs and one down stairs. I’ve only been to their bottom room. If you’re looking for a nice, serene spa day…do not come here. If you’re looking to work out some knots, then this is the place to be! Most of their employees do not speak English. If you get one of their younger employees, then they will speak English. Otherwise, you’ll hear them speak Mandarin and you can hear their very deep accent from mainland China. Most of them are older, but don’t let that fool you…they are very strong! Even the female employees!
If you don’t speak Chinese, don’t let that stop you. There’s a menu right at the front of the door. There’s both an English and Chinese menu. I typically get #5, this includes 10 minute back massage (sitting up), 40 minute foot massage, and 10 minute body massage (laying down) for $15. After you tell them which massage you want, they will bring you inside and seat you down on one of their oversized reclining chairs. They will bring you some hot tea and ask you to soak your feet in warm/hot water. You will be sitting on one ottoman as they give you a massage sitting up. They will massage your back, neck, arms, and head. They apply very high pressure, so be sure to tell them if you’re in pain. Next, they will work on your feet. Lastly, your entire body. I’ve been here many times and each one of them have different methods…all good though.
During my last visit, the employee was telling me how my sleep quality was poor and my body was too cold and that I had to drink more hot water. I was thinking…wow this guy knows what he’s talking about! However, as soon as I handed over the $15 and $5 tip, he looked at me and said…just $5?!?! I thought a $5 tip was good enough. He looked away and was very upset. Although, I kind of expected this. Overall, there are many massage parlors in San Gabriel Valley. I will continue to come here because it’s a ritual for me now
