Chinese Qi Gong Tui- Na

I always come to this place and usually get my massages from a gentleman who doesn’t speak much English, but I always leave satisfied. This time I was assigned to a different woman, and I truly regret spending my money. I would NEVER get a massage from her again. She basically just rubbed lotion on my body — I left with the exact same back pain I came in with. On top of that, she argues with customers and pressures them to give her a mandatory $15 tip, which she absolutely did not deserve. I will never book with her again. And after reading other reviews, I see many people are complaining about the same issue. Management should really take this into consideration because this experience was very unpleasant.

So far, I’ve came here about two times and I’m really loving this place. I love Amy’s work. She is very skilled in Chinese massage. She always takes out my nots and I’m so grateful to her because I leave there feeling better and just so happy. My only recommendation will be to have better heating system since it’s the winter time it was really cold that day.

Probably the worst massage I’ve ever received. I enjoy and I’m open to all types of massages- light, medium pressure, deep tissue, aromatherapy etc. she didn’t appeal to any of them. She felt the knots on my back-it’s why I came in, and she just kept moving her hands around my body like she was applying lotion. I laid there for 1.5 hrs basically getting rubbed down. I’m extremely disappointed because a friend and my brother recommended this place. So I was looking forward to it. I think this specific woman-that I went to genuinely didn’t know what she was doing, and the guy that she had before me looked disappointed as he was leaving. I didn’t understand why and now I do. 1 star reviews are not my thing to do because I know how they harm a business. But also is paying over $100 for something that I shouldn’t have paid for. She also didn’t speak any English so there wasn’t any room to communicate my dissatisfaction with her. Like none, I tried asking questions before the massage and she just pointed to the sign for me to pick a service and there was no one else there to assist.

This was a horrible experience, I regularly go here and receive a decent massage but Amy, the one who massaged me last night gave me the worst of my life. I woke up with pain in area that weren’t giving me problems and the areas that were are tight are STILL TIGHT. I don’t know if her name is Amy since they all use fake names but she was obviously not interested in giving me a good massage. I think it’s because I used a Groupon coupon but either way I was gonna give her a tip. By the end she forced the machine in my face and told me I have to tip her $10. This was a 0/10 experience I wish I could give no stars.

Unprofessional, greedy, ungrateful. The massage itself was like a 6 out of 10. The masseuse charged me $55 for 1h. When I tipped $10, she looked annoyed and walked away. No lt saying thank you nor goodbye. Super unprofessional, and I won’t be returning.

They’re prices are very inexpensive and they give a great massage. The staff are very friendly and wonderful. I came out of there feeling like a new person. It was very relaxing that I even took a nap while I was being massage. A piece of advice for the women is not go in there with makeup or with your hair being recently wash because they will be massaging you from head to toe with body oil and lotion.

I had an absolutely incredible experience at this Chinese massage spot in New York City! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was calm and welcoming, making me feel instantly relaxed. My massage therapist was not only highly skilled but also attentive, intuitive, and genuinely cared about my comfort throughout the session. The massage itself was phenomenal. Every knot and sore spot melted away under the therapist’s expert hands. I could tell that they were well-trained in traditional Chinese techniques—combining the perfect balance of pressure, stretching, and soothing movements. I left feeling completely rejuvenated, lighter, and with a sense of wellbeing I haven’t felt in ages. On top of that, the place was spotless and smelled wonderful. The staff were friendly, professional, and made sure the entire experience was top-notch from start to finish. If you're in NYC and looking for an authentic and truly excellent Chinese massage, I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Five stars, hands down. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I had an amazing couples massage here and it was such a relaxing experience from start to finish! Amy was absolutely wonderful—so kind, attentive, and made sure we were completely comfortable the entire time. The atmosphere was peaceful, the massage was exactly what we needed, and we left feeling refreshed and stress-free. Highly recommend!

After a stressful morning at work, my shoulders and back felt tight. Even my feet ached after a long day on my heels. So I decided to check out this massage parlor. I booked a 60-minute body massage that same day. They fit me in with no problem. I arrived, and it was a no-frills spot. The walls are thin, so you may hear conversations of rooms next door. But that's typical in New York City where space is rare and walls are makeshift. Because I arrived early however it was empty and most of my massage was quiet and calm. The bathroom I noted was mostly clean but the wastebasket was full the two times I used it. My room was small and clean. Lighting was low, which created a calm atmosphere. The table was covered with a large towel and disposable paper, which was very hygenic. My massage was exceptional. My masseuse was Tian-San (I'm sorry if I misspelled it). He was attentive, he checked in with me a few times if the pressure was comfortable. He massaged every knot on my body, from my head to my toes, literally! The staff was friendly and professional. They patiently answered my questions with a smile. And the lady at the front desk even offered me water after the massage. A few tips: - If you're going Monday-Friday, I recommend going before 4:30 pm. It got busy after then. You may find it distracting if you're sensitive to noise. - Pay cash. They charge extra for credit card fees.

Had an appointment for 7:00 PM that I planned my entire day around. When I went in, they told me that I needed to wait THIRTY mins because they booked someone else over my time. Both the masseuse in the room massaging someone was laughing and the person at the front telling me this. I can only assume they think terrible customer service is comical. Bad customer service and vibes. When people book a massage, it's happy cause they need relaxation not to be laughed at. Edited to add: they also had my phone number to call me and let me know they were running late and could have given me that courtesy instead of having me head all the way there and then tell me

I have walked past this small spa many times and have been tempted by the foot rubs advertised on their sign. I recently developed plantar fasciitis and so finally called to make an appointment. I was able to schedule a foot massage for the same day (mornings are less busy than afternoons), which was great. The place is not luxurious, but the care certainly was! I received a full hour of exactly the massage my feet needed. In fact, for two days afterwards, the plantar pain was barely noticeable. Also relevant is that the room was very clean and the experience enhanced by relaxing music and water sounds. I look forward to going again soon for this expert service!

Unprofessional. I called ahead and set up an appointment for 7pm. When I got there at 6:55, they told me I would need to wait for 30 minutes even though I had an appointment. During my massage, the masseuse would leave for minutes at a time with no explanation or apology. She had my hour long timer going and didn't pause it when she stepped away. At one point she was gone for so long, I pulled my phone out and started scrolling social media. I'm sure a good ten minutes of my massage time got squandered but I paid for the full hour. After this horrible service, I still tipped them $8. They were unhappy with that amount and demanded $10 instead. They have a list at the front desk that tells them how much people need to tip for the service they got, and that's what they referenced when I told them I was tipping $8.

Great place, I was able to walk in for an hour massage. It was clean and the massage was amazing and a good price. Will definitely go back soon.

I always get an excellent massage from the women here. I've brought multiple family members and they've all enjoyed their massage. My mother lives in FL and wants to come back to get her massage. I never have to make an appointment. I just call ahead or sometimes just show up and if there is a wait it's not long. I'll definitely continue to patronize this business. It's no frill but it's pretty clean and the service is friendly.

I was not sure about this place from reviews, but I am glad that I tried here. Lina made my shoulder like a feather and I'm so impressed. I will definitely come back. I had 60 minute massage and totally loved it.

No frills but exactly what I was looking for! Very reasonably priced. Staff was helpful, quick, and efficient. I will def be going back for more massages in the future! I was surprised others said it was loud. Pleasant music played and that was it!

Had a very good massage here (two hours with tip $100. I will come again! I came at 10 o'clock at night and they worked on me toAfter midnight

Only giving it one star because the massage was pretty decent BUTTT I really want to give it 0 stars. For starters, the ambiance was not relaxing at all. There was no music so you could clearly hear the busy & loud nyc streets. Nothing relaxing about hearing sirens and hip hop during a massage. Nonetheless, because the massage was ok I was going to ignore that. HOWEVER , to make matters worst, when we finished the massage I was walking out the shop toward my car that was parked right out front to get cash to tip and the workers literally ran to shut the door and shoved me out the way!!! They immediately started demanding a tip and yelling at us forcing us to tip. I explained that I was walking out to get the tip but they understood 0 English and thought I was trying to walk out without tipping. I know tipping is not an obligation but it is in my character to always tip even a bit however after that incident I refused to give my money to such nasty people. My best friend and I literally had to argue and threaten to get physical before they even let us out. It was the worst experience of my life. The place isn't even that sanitary omg. Never again. 0/10 recommend!!!!!!

This is a rub shop. Went to get an honest massage, was instead asked if I wanted to "roll on to my back." They are nasty. Don't go.

Finally checked out this business after passing it many times. I'm so glad I went in! The staff was friendly and professional. The woman that gave me a massage did such a great job! I left feeling sooo relaxed! Plus the hot stones towards the end felt amazing! I will definitely be returning!

Good massage... The only part I thought was a a bit ehhh was when "hand" was rubbing on my buttocks and inner thigh... never really experienced that. But all in all it was good !

Let's start with. She kept her phone near my head with a video camera and sound so she watch the front door i didn't mind it but next to my head and not on silent?! Are you kidding. Then i had to tell her 4 times that she was hurting me she wouldn't soften she would just move on to the next. She talked and kept walking in and out once her coworkers came in. There's a charge for card and i don't have a choice to tip. Let's say never again. And i hope i save you the hassle. Groupon has cheaper for wayyy better

Great professional service. The masseuse asked me throughout the massage if the pressure was good , which as a person who doesn't like too much pressure was very welcomed. I also had the cupping which i have been wanting to try! The price for both was excellent and i would refer anyone to give them a try!

The massage was very repetitive. She kept going back to areas that didn't need work and ignored those that did. Pressure was a bit light. The worst part was that she continuously coughed on me the entire time. I mean this literally. Not only was she coughing but she made no attempt to direct the cough elsewhere. I could feel each one on my back, Disgusting. If she was sick, she should not have been working on people. I'm not sure why I didn't just get up and walk out. I was in pain and too tired to get into a confrontation. She even asked me if I wanted to extend the session after she flipped me over. Seriously? So she could cough on my face? That's the news and I am outta here.

From the moment you walk in they make you feel welcomed! Every one has worked on me I have had terrible muscles knots on my shoulder and forearm. They have been the only ones to actually break all the knots in a couple of sessions. So happy and feeling great. You guys rock and are the best at what you do!!

Nice, quiet and clean place, and these people are professionals. Mei is the best, can't recommend her enough! Def will be back

I was in such a blissful daze when I left that I didn't get the woman's name but she was amazing. With these prices get at least 90 minutes. I got TWO HOURS after a very stressful few weeks and it was just perfect. She pulled out ALL the stops! If you're worried about the summer heat, she used both warm and cool towels and a powerful cooling fan in the booth. I asked for Ashiatsu massage (where they walk or kneel on your back to stretch it out--heavenly) to start because my knots were too intense to start with deep tissue. Once my muscle were warmed up, she did some amazing deep tissue work and even brought in hot stones to work out my stubborn shoulders. Then when I turned over she did the most amazing cooling and softening FACIAL for me after working on my jaw, temples, and sinuses. The skin on my face feels like a baby's. The facial is that masseuses special touch so if you want her ask for that. She can do it as long as you get at least 90 minutes. (**Just a warning there is a little bit of camphor or eucalyptus even in the oil she used on my face, which did not burn at all but if you are sensitive you should ask for regular oil or lotion.) Then she finished with at least 20 minutes of foot and calf reflexology. HEAVENLY. Bring cash because there's a hefty surcharge for credit cards, and the only way you can ensure these women get paid a workable wage is to tip very generously. I left 25% tip and my two hour massage still came in under 100 bucks. Total Steal.

Alarms going off, text tones ringing, phones ringing. Employees talking to each other over the The stations. I was more stressed laying there than I was before walking in. This will not be a place I frequent. I'll probably not go back.

Best massage I have ever gotten! This was my first visit here, I called to book an appointment in advance (which I advice, as from what I last heard they were a staff member short, but they accept walk ins as well). My masseuse was Cory, and he was amazing! Great technique, and great pressure through out the entire duration of the massage. He was also polite, kind, and respectful. He ended up giving me an extra 15-20 mins because i booked 2 appointments, but the friend I came with ended up going in a little late as his masseuse was still working on some one. Cory knew exactly which spots needed work without me telling me, and I just got to relax the entire massage. I was sore for 2 days after (which is normal for deep tissue) but it was a good sore... Not a sore injury type sore like I had received my previous massage. Price is great, staff is great, location is great -- this is my new go to massage parlor. I love it!

Great spot, good massage. Everything you want in a place, clean, friendly staff, soothing music and around the corner from my apartment. The place is good, not just good for uptown.

I came to this spot last week when it stated snowing. I decided I just wanted to go out and relax some place.. I did a search and this place came up with great reviews...so I decided to go by. I got there and it was empty, they took me straight to my room and told me to get undressed someone would be right with me... I forgot her name but she was great!! I got the 39 special which was an hr acupressure massage... I will be back there this week!!

I am an athletic build person and sometimes hard to massage. These women massage me every week with no problem. Try to schedule early if you like one particular masseuse or you'll be waiting a while. It seems like everyone extends their stay once they get relaxed!

I often walk away from a massage thinking, "I wish the masseuse had spent more time on X," or, "I wish the masseuse had used more pressure." My first trip to Hui Yuan Chinese Qi Gong Tui-Na and I am very pleased to report that I walked away 100% happy. Will definitely go back.

This place is great. Totally affordable and they do an amazing job. I came in with an almost pulled back muscle and was experiencing pain in my chest when I turned my neck a certain way. My neck is still painful but the chest pain is gone YAY! Will continue to come here on a regular basis for sure!!!!

These people work hard and have lots of integrity. They work their bones for every penny. I frequent the business often and get a top notch massage every single time. The business is run by husband and wife who are the kindest people. Yes, when you turn facing up you get a neck and foot massage. Ignore all the comments about the happy ending parlor references. It's idiotic! Don't forget TIP THEM GENEROUSLY for their great service.

Just had a full body massage here with Corey. I was having aches for about a week that at times woke me up. He was great!!! See you next time.

this is not a legit massage shop. went for couples massage, 5 minutes in we heard people having sex in back. we walked out, they didn't stop is or ask for payment. indeed, the woman working on my spouse offered to have him flip onto his back when we said we were leaving.

Sooo...to be fair. I used to come to this place all the time and got decent massages for a reasonable price. However the last time I was there, it got raided midway through my massage! I heard some rustling at the front, and recognized the confident footsteps of police boots, and within seconds the curtain was ripped open and a cop was shining a flashlight in my eyes. The cops were super nice to me, and cracked a lot of jokes about whether my massage was a little "too good." The owners were all smiles and wished me a nice evening as I left them to their demise. I was so embarrassed but also it's one of the most hilarious things that's ever happened...anyway guys they probably do 70% of their business as unlicensed massage people and 30% as something else. I had to give a couple stars for the fact they can at least read their audience and never once offered me anything except an actual massage. You have been warned.

I was singing praises of Corey, the male masseuse until he touched me inappropriately during my massage session yesterday. I was so disturbed and humiliated. I will never return! Please BECAREFUL! This business is clearly lacking ethics.

Terrible. I walked in with my husband and we asked for a 15 min shoulder massage in a chair. We were told there is only one chair so we should use a bed instead. We did. During the 15 min massage I only had my shoulders worked on for the last 4 mins. Toward the end, the masseuse said my shoulders were very tight. To which I replied "I know that's why I asked for a shoulder massage." At that point she got some oil and worked on my shoulders for the last four minutes of the massage. To be fair, the man at the front probably never communicated that I asked for my shoulders to be worked on. If the full body massage - that I did not ask for - was at least a quality massage I may have been placated. The full body massage consisted of leaning on my body while pressing down. I have had other Chinese massages, but this one was unlike the others. When it was time to pay I asked the total, but was not told until my card was run and I read it on the receipt. The man at the front when we arrived, that told us we had to use the tables instead of the chairs, was gone. My shoulders are aching after the "massage" and there is no relief. I will not come here again.

I get a lot of massages, and had a solid massage here a few months back, so thought I would come back for a second time. I had the worst massage I ever received. The masseuse tried to touch me very close to my private part and had no techniques. It was clear she was not even trained. If I can give it zero star I would. Needless to say, I will never return again. Consider yourself warned and please avoid this place for your own sake.
