Arkai Massage

Great massage experience here I like how they stepping on my back :) Tisha is my masseuse thanks again and see you again soon

I left a $30 dollar tip on an $85 massage and got attitude. Good luck

Alice was absolutely amazing. Wonderful masseuse, very professional. Sadly I can’t keep seeing her because I’m moving to Orlando tomorrow:( I’m surprised people are complaining about a $20 tip - she definitely deserves at least $20… I’m not rich yet so I can’t tip her $100 but I would if I could. Great attitude, very friendly, amazing work, and that’s on 4 hours of sleep and working 6 days a week! Hard working woman.

My experience at Arkai was amazing. I go often to reset my body because I go to the gym a lot. Jessica really made me feel amazing and made sure my mobility was much better than before. Highly recommend.

Absolutely great massage. I wasn't sure what to expect and was not disappointed. The masseuse was very professional and conscientious. She worked out my aches and pains and stretched me, too. I've seen other reviews complaining about the $20 suggested tip. That seems a reasonable amount to me, considering the price is $55 and the amount of physical exertion the masseuse did. Highly recommend!

Came in 7 pm on a Saturday with my boyfriend for a combo swedish/thai massage. Absolutely loved it! Rooms were clean, atmosphere was relaxing and smelled like lavender essential oil.

I used to like this place and always thought the quality was great. Until yesterday,,, After the massage, had to experience an awkward situation about the tip. I wanted to tip $15 for a $55 massage and the masseuse was insisting on a $20 tip not giving me the change for $80. It was really frustrating and she even gave me some attitude. Won't be visiting again.

I wanted to update my previous review as I noticed Arkai has recently changed ownership and it has suffered no decline in the previous high standards. In fact, I would say there is even an improvement. It is spotlessly clean, organised and very accommodating for appointment times. All the therapists are of a very high standard and, in my experience, focus on any areas of concern you share. Thank you Arkai! I would highly recommend Arkai Massage. After trying several massage places in Los Angeles, this is definitely my favourite. All staff are professional, friendly, highly skilled and they listen to your individual needs when explaining problem areas. The place is extremely clean, organised, reasonably priced and they will always try to accommodate you in terms of appointments days / times. Thank you Arkai Massage!

Fantastic Thai massage! Great combination of acupressure and stretching and my masseuse was very attentive. Highly recommend to anyone looking for Thai massage. I will definitely be coming back!

I called earlier in the day to get an evening appointment at 7pm. Getting an appointment was quite easy. The space is clean and relaxing, and the massage was fine. Each person gets their own room. However I was not given a full hour, it was definitely more like 50 min. I got there a minute or two after 7, took a few minutes to get ready, and the massage ended at least 5 min early. The math isn't mathing. That's a whole 10 min less. But I was charged $70 and expected to tip well too. If I'm being charged for an hour, I should get a full hour. This is crazy, considering the price. I was really hoping this would be my go-to massage place.

Friendly ,calm and clean! Great massage highly recommended - great prices and great service

I paid 100 for 90 min massage. This woman did nothing worst massage ever. Unfortunately I received a woman thats lazy. Doesn't listen. Did the bare minimal. I'm leaving in pain still. What a waste of 90 min of my life I can't get back. Go somewhere else.

Hi there, I am here to give an honest feedback. I just got an amazing message with Grace. She got me from head to toe!. It's been almost a month that I've a really bad pain on my neck and shoulders. She is very worked hard on me. I am feel very much better than ever. I would recommend this place. Reasonable price and all the therapies are wonderful and professional.

This place is clean and professional. All the masseuses I've worked with know how to deliver a high quality massage. Service is polite and friendly. Annie and Maya are the strongest if you like deep tissue work.

This massage place is amazing clean and smell good the therapist are well trained and uniform as professionals. Tips pay cash get free hot stone. I will be back again soon.

Absolutely amazing, hand down the best massage I've ever had. You can tell she genuinely cares for the well-being of her clientele. I felt so comfortable with her and well taken care of I got a 90 minute deep tissue massage and the pricing was adorable.

Hana was great! she really knows how to hit the right spots. Especially when the pain is consistent. would highly recommend her and her team. Will be coming back!

Love this place! Had about 4 massages here and Always gets me feeling right! Thanks so much!

Was excited to try this place but didn't even get to because parking in the area was so bad. Be prepared to walk or Uber in. This was a Thursday MORNING btw.

Annie gave me a massage and it was great!! She was very friendly and took her time to make sure I was comfortable. The quality of the massage was Greta. Overall, I had a great experience.

You know that torn feeling...I have that about this review for Arkai. I want this local small business to do amazingly well and have so many appointments that they can't keep up. They deserve it! But...this is my hidden gem of a spot. Don't be taking up all my spots for massages now that the secret's out! LOL!!! Arkai is my go to massage spot. My friend actually discovered it and now we go together all the time, getting our massages in separate rooms at the same time. It's fun and their prices are right. Pro-Tip: Our first 10x here we scoped the area for street parking and paid the meters. No need for that as they have their own lot in the back, free on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. I've been here a million times now and have had many different masseuses. Keeping it real, the massages have been quite different depending on who I get. Some are better than others, hitting that magical combo of the right pressure and right moves. One lady cracks my back at the end and I am HERE FOR IT. So go in expecting your massage this time may be different than the last. Rest assured though, I've never had a bad massage at Arkai. So there you have it. My little secret for stress relief and self-care. Enjoy but...I will say it again...Don't book when I want to go! Muhaha~ #greedygal

Massage was okay. Did a 75 minutes for $75. I tipped $12, they weren't happy. Then the asian lady pulled an additional $20 from my wallet ran-and won't give me change back. Made me very uncomfortable as they were was expecting me to tip $37 on a $75 message. They are crazy to think that. Won't ever come back very unprofessional would not recommend

Really good massage She was nice and gentle I'd come back next week They take their time

Wonderful experience here. Jessica was amazing and I appreciate how she asked before touching certain areas (face/butt)- I haven't experienced this at other massage places before. It was one of the best massages I've ever had and I will absolutely be returning. Thank you Arkai Massage

This place is clean, professional and my go to spot for a massage. I always leave feeling like a brand new person! Kevin is incredible, patient, experienced and knows exactly where my knots are at and is able to slowly release them with the perfect speed and pressure. Highly recommend Kevin!! Million stars

This massage spot is ahhhhhmazing. Massages can be very relaxing to therapeutic. Jessica has helped release the knots from my shoulders and upper back from carrying around a toddler and computer work stress. Highly recommend!

Great massage from Gina! Definitely recommend this place! She's wonderful and Arkai is a neighborhood gem.

Unfortunately, I will no longer come back after coming here for years and being massaged by Joy. Joy no longer works here but I still gave this place two tries since she left and it seems she was the only one who knew how to give a deep tissue massage. I made sure to ask on the phone for someone who knows how to give an actual deep tissue massage which of course they said yes and all I got was a woman who walked on me with her feet on top of a sheet even after I asked her a few times for a hand massage with oil AND firm. It wasn't until the last 20 minutes of the massage where she said sorry and started using her hands and oil. However, it was not a deep tissue and just felt like someone with the lightest pressure putting oil on me. I left there with the same tension on my back.

Great service, excellent therapists. Highly recommended. Great price. Jessica is the best!

Arkai is great. I get a combination massage at least once a month and everyone there does a great job. I love to go before close then go home for a good night sleep. Very reasonably priced and clean

Very good massage. I enjoyed it a lot. I'll definitely be back. The room is clean and professional therapist

Amazing massage in town and a nice price for a massage. Masseuse has known about my body very well I feel so good and very relaxed I will be back again.

Hana is incredible!! The combination stretching/massage is unreal. The staff is friendly and the location is clean. Looking forward to coming back again!

This was the best massage, I highly recommend this place. Very professional and clean.

I heard some good things about this place and came to check it out. They had great availability and were able to get me in within half an hour of calling. I had a 60 minute deep tissue massage. The place was clean and quiet. The massage itself was phenomenal and I honestly would have given this place 5 stars for the massage alone. However the one thing that is really making me hesitate to come back is their aggressive tipping ask. There are signs everywhere showing a suggested tip of $20-30 for a $55-65 massage which ends up being essentially a 30-50% tip. I get massages fairly regularly but I had to check myself to see if I was crazy. A quick google search says about 20% is a normal tip for massages. I gave her a 25% tip and she had a total change in her demeanor from smiling and friendly to total disappointment and refusing to look at me anymore. I don't know if it was just this therapist but if they expect more money, they should charge higher fees. Trying to tell customers that a normal tip is 30-50% of the fee feels a bit shady. It left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, and while I truly think she gave a fantastic massage, I'm not sure if I'll be back.

Very friendly and professional staff not to mention the relaxing and positive environment.Definitely recommended them and the service they provide

Very good very professional. Listened well and followed directions. I would come back

Great massage and service! Been coming here all the time. Always my go to. Can't say enough good things

Excellent massage! Highly recommend. Coming back soon. What else can i say. Enjoyed d.

Tisha was great! She got every knot. I would 100% recommend and would return for another combo massage.

I've been coming here for 4 years now and it's seriously the best massage place in LA. Clean and great massage.

This is my go-to massage place. Best value for the money and everyone is always so nice. Thica was AMAZING. She did massage and stretching. GEM of a place.

Great massage, perfect balance of Thai and Swedish. Always a great experience here. Thank you

This place is my FAVORITE self care place. I've been coming for the past 3 years for the combination massage. Yes i do have my favorites but eveyone here does an amazing job. I've referred many friends and family and they all have said positive things about Arkai. I want to add that I've been to other "luxury" massage locations and spas but the massages at Arkai are too teir. I love this place!!

Trisha is amazing one of the best authentic Thai places in the area the staff is professional and the lady who runs it is very nice very good Thai massage

Absolutely amazing, staff so friendly ansd Mimi saved my sholder blade! Def coming back

Excellent, professional & very clean and nice establishment . All the people who work there are very skilled and it is a professional place not one of these nasty "massage" joints.

Clean , comfortable, reasonably priced Thai massage . Service was good and the bed was comfortable. I will come again

In the Before Times, I was someone who would get a massage every two weeks. But for my first massage back, I decided to try somewhere new, given all of the dismal reviews I'd seen of my normal go-to spots over the past few months. Where should I begin? So many things to consider as to why I will be returning here. Was it the unheard of, amazing customer service when I walked in, who very clearly helped me understand their services and make a choice based on what I was looking for? Sure. Was it the insanely clean facilities, especially compared to other places that offer similar services at affordable prices? Yes. Was it the quiet atmosphere? Yes. What about within entering the room where I'd get my massage, to see rails on the ceiling for back walking? Yup. And finally, how about that service? Yes. The masseuse who worked with me had such a challenge, with someone who sits in a desk chair and works from home and keeps their stress in their shoulders. She was a great sport and did a fantastic job. Cannot wait to go back!

Do your self a favor and book the massage. I hurt myself in the gym. I was in pain. When I tell you I was literally in tears. I am forever thankful for Rita. She was so compassionate. She made sure I was well taken care of. She reassured me I was going to be okay. She gave me the best combination massage I have ever experienced. Literally,so much kindness. Rita got the nodes out. I forgot the name of the receptionist. She was kind too. The facilities are super clean. I Found my favorite massage spot. Thank you Rita

I went to this massage parlor today and it was very good and relaxing. The massage therapist was kind and had good technique. Next time I need a massage I would come here again.

I've been coming here for a deep tissue massage weekly to help get my knots and tension out after working on the computer all week! They do a wonderful job and are always really sweet! Can't wait for my next massage!

just had my 1st massage at arkai, everything was perfect. the service was 10 stars. very calm energy in this space. parking easy. very clean. even the sheets were super soft. felt so good with this heat we are having. massage was excellent i could not ask for more. staff is from thailand. really know what they are doing. open 7 days a week. so grateful to find this gem. thank you kevin and arkai. everyone ones needs a tune up, they hit all the right spots

Lita my masseuse, she's very amazing. From the back walking to stretching, she's the best. She literally relived my tension and stiff muscles.

I called last minute and they had availability!! They did a great job and very reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

By far was the most professional massage I got inside US! They offer authentic Thai massage, and they work on your body in an orthopedic way, because they are highly experienced, and have good knowledge about the body. The price is also reasonable, you can get an hour massage for 50 dollars . I highly highly recommend this place to you all

I must say that I have heard multiple things both good and bad about this establishment so I had to go see for myself. The massage was mediocre, thats not the issue the issue for me is the aggressive asking for tips, which I am all for tipping but when you try to force me to tip 35 dollars it kinda takes away from the feeling of wanting to leave a genuine tip. Let people tip what they want, don't try to bully people into tipping a certain amount!
