Seoul Massage Shiatsu Massage

Oct 2023

The following is updated info as of 10/9/2023. All other info from the original review is still accurate. Admission: - $28 - Memberships are no longer available Pool Temps (3): - Hot (Jacuzzi)(107°F) - Warm (Jacuzzi)(104°F) - Cold Plunge (58°F) Body Scrub: $40 + Admission Overall Impression: When I first reviewed this place 9 years ago, I gave it a 3/5, as the offerings and condition were reasonable for the $15 price at the time. I'm dropping it down to 2 now, because the condition of the facility has only decreased since then, while the price has increased to almost double. They should either drop the price down to $20, or put some money into renovations which it desperately needs. When WiSpa is $35, this place just can't justify charging $28.

Woke up with a stiff neck. I needed a immediate massage. I called and was told there were available ppl to massage. I asked how much and the price was very high. I said ok due to the needs of my body. It was GREAT! I told the masseuse to go hard and she did not disappoint. Like I said, the price was high but for that 1 time it was well worth it. Thanks

On a recent visit to LA a friend and I were in need of a massage before a concert. We saw this place online, but didn't think we wanted to pay the fee. We ended up stopping by to ask if we could massages and the person at the front desk said yes, but it would be an hour. I thought okay, we can just visit the sauna in the meantime. He emphatically said no. He explained in Korean that it was a men's spa, but we could get massages. I giggled and we went out. As we explored the neighborhood which seemed to have no people around at 10 am he saw us and called us in for the massages. My friend who is Korean had a woman that spoke mostly Korean and me, the non-Korean got the person who was English speaking. Either way wouldn't have mattered to me. I like opportunities to practice my Korean even if strangers won't indulge me, but that's not the story now. We had to pay for the massages upfront. Oddly we also had to tip at payment too. Desperate times had me tipping upfront. We both used the restroom before massages. The reason I can't give 5 stars is the bathroom wasn't very "attractive", but it was functional. The rooms where the massages took place were simple. I thought it was different that they had like saloon doors, but I kept it moving. We had to change in the room into the uniform which was a pair of shorts. My masseuse was good. Without telling her anything she could find all my issues. At one point she asked me what did I do to myself. I wished I knew too because I was struggling. She massages everything deeply. She offered to use her feet and I accepted. She had some strong feet but did a thorough job. I wasn't struggling to breathe either. After an hour she finished up and I came out of the room looking and feeling worked over. She did give me an envelope for tip but I reminded her that I already included it when I paid. I feel like that was just a miscommunication. The person at the front desk was very nice and when he learned how far we had traveled he gave us some hand cream. Such a sweet gesture. I'd visit again if I was in the area and need a good massage.
