This is the second terrible experience I’ve had here. This time, I clearly marked on the sheet they give you at the beginning that I didn’t want my feet worked on because I recently had foot surgery. My massage therapist completely ignored this and worked on my feet, which was very painful. It’s also over 90 degrees in Berkeley and they have no air conditioning. My massage therapist kept putting blankets on me even though I told her I was too hot and didn’t want the blankets. Overall, she completely ignored my needs and gave me a painful massage. Will not be returning.

By far one of the best massages I’ve had in a long time. The gentleman at the front desk was super nice and the 2 massage therapists who took care of us were strong and very attentive.
I recommend this traditional Thai massage of stretching and deep tissue.
Fantastic!

Second time here, the first massage was good but the second was the best I’ve had in over a decade. I come in specifically asking for deep massage in my forearms (advanced tennis elbow in both arms). A man who’s name I didn’t get started the massage, but I guess as I was describing in more detail exactly to apply the pressure, Kwan stepped in and took over. She gave me the deepest, most amazing forearm massage for 80% of the session, with the rest some basic, whole body stretching. This is the only kind of massage that gives me true relief, and it’s even possible that if I keep it up and can get rid of this chronic pain. I’ll be going back often. THANK YOU KWAN

The ladies at Malai Thai work magic on my body. I leave feeling like I’m floating. They really take a load off. When I was pregnant I came in once a week for a traditional Swedish massage because it’s more gently, but I recommend the traditional Thai or aromatherapy massage. That’s one of the great things about Malai — you can experience different techniques to suit your mood!
When you go in they ask you to highlight any areas of concern or areas of focus, and the massage therapists will focus on there. Today I asked to focus on my tight knees, and I left feeling so much more flexible. I really believe that Thai massage is therapeutic in many ways.
Another thing I like about this place is that it’s no frills. When I get massages at fancy spa places, the therapists will usually talk to me, or they take time off the hour to account for dressing, etc. At Malai, you get the full time you pay for! And they are no nonsense. They come in and get straight to work. Also, the massage beds are separated by curtains, so it’s not super private. That’s fine with me. They play relaxing music and I go into a good zone. The massages are affordable too! Card is accepted — you can save your card on file. I prefer to pay card and give a cash tip.

Great Thai massage. Strong hands, forearms and elbows doing great body work. I paid to be walked on…and would do it again.
Know that the massage stations are separated by curtains so don’t expect to have perfect silence. Also front area is separated by door but people do come and go. Conversations happen but the staff is very polite and mindful the clients. Set your expectations correctly and you will come out rejuvenated.
I would go back.
