King Spa & Sauna

This is an incredibly relaxing experience. Love spending the day here with my husband! We arrive early to enjoy the hot tubs and saunas all day. Guests are assigned locker numbers that streamline booking services, and food. Staff is very helpful, so if this is new for your they will guide you through the process. Each room offers different options for quiet relaxation and healing. Would recommend for couples, families, and friends to try something new together! 🥰

The spa has a different variety sauna rooms providing lots of options. The Spa is very clean and less crowded during weekdays. Had a really good time while visiting here. Definitely recommend this to everyone who wants to relax from their daily life.

I'd return again, but at a certain time. A weekday during the day, definitely an off time. Use valet there's no parking. Pros: A good amount of saunas, spread through 3 floors. The food was made quick and it was tasty! I got the fried dumplings, it was delicious and the salad. It was $20. Glancing at other people and their dish, everyone appeared pleased with the quality. I did not plan to order but changed my mind upon seeing the dishes. The areas were clean, tranquil, nice to see some TVs with games on and places to lounge. I fell asleep in the place where you can adjust this apparatus that provides warmth to your body. Cons: Depending on the day (I went on a Saturday rainy day around 2 pm -7 pm). It was packed! Every sauna I walked into had potentially 1-2 spots. There was one I never went into, but to be fair a group camped out in there. So 1 spot was in circulation. Within the sauna most ppl were quiet, sometimes ppl will talk in another language thinking it's equivalent to being quiet. When it's packed you can hear the voices outside, which is why I believe an off day/hour will be transform the experience. The food prices I wasn't expecting, $35-40. I was glad to see a $20 dish. Next time I come I'll try one of those dishes and edit this if needed. You don't get to select your shirt and shorts. It seems they do a good job estimating, but mine was slightly tight. Not a big deal though, I'm sure they'll accommodate if asked.

The Korean spa experience was incredibly relaxing and refreshing. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the hot/cold baths along with the saunas felt amazing. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful, making it a perfect self-care day. Definitely worth visiting if you want to unwind and recharge. Above all, the food was delicious!

Clean sauna that’s more of a neighborhood place than a luxurious spa but it’s good for a relaxing day if you have a discount. I’m not sure the full price would’ve been worth it, but I got a holiday discount which is around the same price as the Groupon voucher. If you have the voucher I’d say it’s worth visiting as a new activity. Something to note is that they’ve been giving out face masks if you give a 5-star rating, which I wouldn’t say they’re undeserving of, but it’s good to know for future customers. The food provided inside was pretty decent for cafeteria food. The bingsoo is too sweet but the baked eggs are worth trying. Side note that if you miss the morning shuttle from Manhattan, you have to pay to ride the evening shuttle back from NJ.

This place is very traditional but in a good way! It’s not a place where you’ll find kids running around laughing and playing like an outdoor spa competitor. My husband and I came to relax a bit and it was perfect. The food was good and the ambiance was as expected. I took one star away because I really wanted a hot water spa to enjoy with my husband but there wasn’t one, they only had a female jacuzzi area where you’re fully wearing what god gave you lol I don’t mind but my husband wasn’t a fan.

Amazing! After visiting the King Spa & Sauna in Chicagoland nearly 50 times over the last decade…I wasn’t convinced the NJ location would be as awesome. This location surprised me & surpassed my expectations! I especially loved the Infrared “tents” that you could move to target different body parts including one’s back! Very cool! Even though I live in Chicago, I will definitely be back! Highly recommend to all!

I've been to a couple other Korean spas in Jersey and in Georgia and this is by far my favorite. It's worth the commute and after one positive experience, I bought two more passes to return! Their cafe serves good food (but it is expensive so be prepared). The place is huge so it never feels crazy crowded like most other spas. I appreciate their dedication to cleanliness and the kindness of their staff. I would recommend the Korean body scrub for sure. I absolutely love the amount of chairs and lounge areas this facility has. The number of saunas here is incredible. Taking your time and exploring all of them is so fun and relaxing. It's a true mental reprieve. No negatives from me. I'm hooked.

What I got: Fall Special 4-in-1 Full Package (~$135): includes 1 Service (30 min Korean Body Scrub) + 1 Admission + 1 Face Mask Pack + 1 Bonus Admission Aya's take: Back at King Spa & Sauna! This time we arrived around 3pm and were able to snag street parking. I highly recommend checking their website and Groupon a few days before as they usually have coupons you can redeem. This Fall Special 4-in-1 Full Package was good value as it included 2 admissions (this alone is ~$70 on their website for 1 admission) and a Korean Body Scrub (gratuity is included) which I've never done before. As you are checking in, you secure your time for the Korean Body Scrub. Once it was close to my time, I asked the lady sitting at the desk (near the lockers) and she directed me to where I needed to go. The Korean Body Scrub Basic is a 30 minute body scrub with a "Korean Italy Towel." It removes dead skin cells and buildup you might have. It actually wasn't as relaxing as I expected but definitely a great way to exfoliate. My skin felt much smoother & cleaner after. We enjoyed some of their saunas and a game of chess before we headed out 4 hours later. It was a nice way to spend a weekend day and rejuvenate before the start of another week.

My favorite spa in the area even though it can get crowded at times it beats the glitz and glamour of Sojo in Edgewater and it's the original Korean spa of Bergen county and NJ. Once was the biggest spa in all of the east coast in the United States King spa provides saunas, baths, massages, and Korean food all in one place. It's definitely my go to if I want to relax and detox. Prices are lower on Groupon even though they have dramatically gone up since a year ago. Still cheaper than neighboring spas in the area.

I have been coming to King Spa and Sauna for years. It's always such a relaxing place where I literally end up spending the entire day. Any services with food purchases can add up. Find Groupon where the admission is discounted. Note: for services, the tips are included. And they exceed 20% which is kind of shitty IMO because then there is really no incentive to go "above and beyond" but it is what it is. There are water dispensers throughout the facility so that's always nice to have. The place (by my standards and since I've been coming for so many years) has declined a bit but it's still properly maintained and has more good than bad. One of the showers didn't work, one of the shower hose holder was also broken and some areas appear a bit more worn out than others. The food is a nice touch too, but they used to give so many more side dishes in the past (you now get only 3). The workers are nice enough and polite but they are stingy with time and never go over a minute more than the allotted time for any service - MAYBE the hip bath but I think those ladies work independently of the spa itself because I paid them directly (I've had deep scrubs and massages and those are tallied up at the end upon checking out). The place is also clean - yes, you walk around barefoot once in the wet area but I've seen the staff actively clean and scrub the floors mats and floors. The steam room in the wet area is great to open up your the pores before a scrub. There are 4 main whirlpools/baths/hot tubs - one cold, one warm and one hot. And one super cold, with an over the head jet coming down. My gripe can be with the fact that it does get packed on the weekends, so be mindful of that and the hours you come (usually the earlier, the better). People also need to have proper etiquette and follow instructions upon entering - there are plastic bags upon entering the locker room where you take your outside shoes off immediately and put them in the plastic bags upon entering, WELL BEFORE the area where people are walking sound barefoot. Once inside, you need to SHOWER FIRST. I saw a lady walk straight into one of the hot tubs. WHYYYY. there are signs EVERYWHERE telling you what to do and what not to do. Also, from the steam room - rinse off first, ladies, before going back in the pools. It really isn't that hard and the staff does try to enforce these rules as well. Once upstairs, I adore and live for their saunas and relaxation rooms. I also get my ass handed to me by my friend in checkers too (they have chess and checkers games.) There are plants and little water fountains/creeks that are dispersed throughout, which are also such a beautiful and nice touch. I'll never turn down a day at King Spa. 10/10 recommend + the body scrub too.

Perfect place to relax. Some parts are a bit dingey but overall nice. I like that in addition to the multiple saunas that there's rest areas where it isn't as hot. There's an extra hot sauna where temperatures can reach over 250 degrees F, basically an oven. My partner and I just wanted to try it, the lady managing the area meant well but it was a bit off-putting that she was basically scolding at us when we both felt fine afterwards. I know she was concerned since it was our first time but we followed the instructions and didn't stay long. Food is better than other spas like Sojo, a bit pricey but authentic. Can easily spend a day here.

I came here through Groupon and I really enjoyed my time here. I loved the bath house amenities, the staff was very nice, the saunas and infrared beds are so relaxing. I also purchased the 30 min foot massage and it was great!! My feet feel so much better. The salmon teriyaki meal was delicious. I will definitely be back.

I loved King Spa,it was a bit of a drive from our area...truly worth it.Another GROUPON hit and the purchase is available for use immediately (sometimes there's a wait).We arrived and since it was our first time we were not sure of the exact check in process.The counter help wasn't "helpful" at all but we figured it out and navigated the process on our own.The spa is very clean and once you get your key towel,shorts & tee shirt...the adventure begins.Even if you are not comfortable with the nudity of entering the pools etc,there are many other relaxing rooms and activities to partake in.We had an amazing time and after a few hours felt BRAND NEW.I am thinking on buying a package,if it comes out more affordable than a GROUPON. We are looking forward to returning asap:)

3 stars Ok, so the place is pretty big. Everybody will be completely naked in the same gender only locker room/shower/jacuzzi/steam room. My main gripe is that almost everyone is barefoot in the showers/ saunas/common areas/ everywhere and thats a recipe for contagious fungal infections/ plantar warts. I dont really know if ppl can wear their own slippers in the locker room but i didnt bring a pair (Coming to King Spa was a last minute plan when i was already out of the house) so i didnt bother asking. However, ive seen some people wear socks in the common areas (saunas/restaurants) so remember to bring an extra pair of socks. Additionally, id also recommend bringing another pair of footwear just for the lockerroom area/showers. Also, people are walking into the bathrooms barefoot and then walking back out to the common rooms, so yeah, thats also transferring fecal bacteria. I also dont like that each person is only allowed 1 body towel to use for the whole duration of stay and would need to pay $2 to use a new one. I did the korean body scrub and i dont know how clean that is either. The ice room smelled a bit funny. Saunas were a bit on the small side. Most of them can fit either 4-8 people. The food at the restaurant was a bit overpriced but tasted decent. In general, the place is pretty old compared to Sojo spa.

Came here on Valentine's day which fell on a Friday and it was packed. Used a Groupon deal, easy to check-in. Remember to bring your ID! During check-in, they keep your ID bcus they give you a locker key wristlet. So when you check out, you give them back the locker key wristlet and they'll give you back your ID. I forgot my wallet, so they accepted my bf's credit card instead. Place has several floors and has lots of signs. Needs some getting used to to navigate. They have lots of sauna rooms, but only a few ppl can enter at a time (most just 4ppl). So if it's full, you need to wait until someone comes out so you can go in. But thankfully most ppl don't stay inside the sauna any longer than 15-20min. If they're weak sauce, then they'll leave within 5-10min haha. The hottest sauna room (located across from the ice room) has more space and can fit more than 15ppl. Apparently, they bake their eggs in this room overnight. It's THAT hot (I think 200+°F). They also provide a mat to sit on so you don't burn your butt on the floor. It's a bit tough to breathe in there so PRO TIP-- it helps to tie a small towel around your mouth. Food was expensive but tasty. Furniture and decor was a bit old and tacky, but didn't bother me too much. I was just there to relax and have a fun time with my bf and it did the job.

To preface, I've only gone to Sojo in NJ prior, so I had more exposure to less traditional spa type of things. This place felt a bit antiquated? Not completely dilapidated but it was very cozy and plain, I suppose. You go upstairs to get changed with a key to a locker. I figured out that there were a stack of clothes and towels that you could snag and kinda wandered around, turning 360 for signs or any direction. There were a bunch of nice hot and relaxing dry saunas and I didn't realize that many were duplicates. Ex. two mineral salt saunas, two amethyst rooms, etc. Bulhanjeungmak was probably the most interesting one at 200deg C. The smell of oak pleasantly overpowered the aroma of neighbouring sweat. I had fun engaging in bouts of Chess and Chinese Checkers in between sauna sessions. Focusing on a physical activity with a bit more brain power while cooling down was one of the more enjoyable bits. The famous Korean Sauna eggs were pretty good for boiled eggs and I don't mind having paid $4 for a set of two. Nothing particularly interesting on their menu besides Korean supermarket ice cream sold for $5 a pop. I passed on that in favour of bingsoo at a nearby Cafe Miel, but I digress. This spa was interesting but nothing to exclaim about.

I love Korean Spas. It's one of my favorite ways of relaxing. I got off of a red-eye flight and went immediately there. I think this King Spa is not a part of the chains around the country, but it is very nice. The shower/sauna/jacuzzi areas are very nice and clean. The dry saunas in the main area are great. I took a nap for a couple of hours on a very comfortable recliner. They do have a juice bar and restaurant that has many options and was tasty. If I'm in that area again I'd definitely go back.

Came here on Friday noon and pretty surprised to see that the place is packed on weekday. Took sometime to get admitted as there's only 2 person to admit and check out customers. Got admission ticket on Groupon which is a good deal. There are plenty of sauna places split across different levels so be sure to look around. 2nd floor seemed to be more packed than other floors. Went to the hottest sauna at 200 degree twice. The first time there's a long line so it was limited for 10min. When there's not much people waiting, we can stay as much as we can. After visiting this, all other places seemed to be nothing. Overall good experience. Food and drink is pricey though.

Korean scrub with the oil massage was absolutely phenomenal. The saunas/hot tub are a little outdated/ tight . Place itself needs some renovations. But overall great relaxing place. Would go back. Worth the price

Sometimes you think something's would not really translate. This is not one of those times. King Spa & Sauna. Is a vital part of why communities are successful. When you can carve out time and prioritize wellness you don't have to worry about making Selfcare a priority. I was delighted to find a place where rejuvenation is on the menu, food, solace, tubs, scrubs, heating mats, massages. I left reset. I will return. Thank you.

Before I write my review I hope King Spa reads this & makes signage with drawings on them so the nice ajumma's don't have to repeat themselves every other minute (overwork) to those not familiar with Korean Spa culture. Specifically: Drawing of a Woman with hair tied up outside the Wet Sauna & Pools (& maybe a few cute examples of what you can do with the thin plaid towels around your head) & Drawing in front of the Jjimjilbang (700° F dry sauna) of a covered face with plaid towel & 1 large mat around shoulders & 1 large mat around legs/under feet. Someone recommended King Spa to me instead of going back to the other "Castle" and I've already been back to NJ in a few months! (Their extra free pass helps) It's pretty convenient to Manhattan, the free shuttle is a 25 minute ride or NJ Transit bus about a 45min ride & 15min walk. I've only been on a weekday and it's moderately busy (& gets busier after 5pm)- I can't imagine what chaos it must be like on a weekend. King Spa feels very homey and like a Disneyland of rest & relaxation to explore endlessly. So unassuming from the outside as the Paige building in the somewhat the area, but with the newish coffee shop across the street and a 10 minute walk through suburbs to the main street/hub of the town. When you just literally swipe your bracelet to pay for anything & have cubby holes assigned to you for storage, there's not much to worry about except being on time for your Korean body scrub, massage or nail appointments! There's 3 floors, 2 dining areas, different dry saunas, gendered (nude) wet saunas & plunge pools, an aromatherapy/healing room, a room for Women's V steam therapy for horomones, LED therapy room, amethyst, and charcoal bundles everywhere, loungers, and wide chairs to fall asleep on. I like ending in the ice sauna with a sheet face mask to tighten pores. Hilights include free plastic bags for shoes at the entrance of the Locker room, UV oven for their haircombs, QTips, Suave lotion to use), Phone charging cubbies & filtered water fountains all around, the dry sauna filled with hanging bags of restorative oak was very cool. The Staff is very nice, although I'm sure they're tired of the new wave of interest in Korean Spas/Culture. Highly recommend their massages if you're prone to knots & need deep bodywork. Seems like a combination of pushing on your channels & stretching, a little like Thai Massage. King Spa runs a lot of online specials and it's worth purchasing ahead of time + a free visit pass. During my last visit (a Monday) their shuttle couldn't fit everyone & groups found other options. It's about $60-70 by Uber from KTown. Overheard that they're working with a new shuttle company, the schedule changes seasonally and it doesn't run as often. The high top black van is very nice and clean, I wouldn't say that driving is speed limit conscious but they get there fast. The food is a bit overpriced, but maybe by a few dollars compared to other large Korean restaurants, and here there isn't tipping. Korean food always seems so labor-intensive. I was happily satisfied with the quality of the food & the portions are huge. I've had the $18 Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (lots of burdock root, clear thick potato starch vermicelli). $19 Seaweed Beef broth Soup (with rice) - known as the healing soup for new mothers and as the "birthday soup." The banchan is just okay, some aren't the freshest (kimchi, mung bean sprouts, cucumbers). Drinks: $10 Strawberry Banana smoothie (not very cold, but very thick) TRY IT! Not sure why it's not on their menu anymore but they still have it, if you ask. $10 Sikhye, a rice, fermented malt drink. Sweet & super slushie- great to cool down with. I want to try their Ginger tea goji berry Drink next time. SNACKS! Get these $15 Bing Soo: the lightest finest shaved ice ever! topped with fruit and condensed milk, red bean paste hidden on the bottom. It's a large portion, but I actually finished all of it. Didn't feel gross like with ice cream. They also have a plethora of ice cream bars, next time I'll have to try it. $4 Sauna Eggs: didn't know what the big deal about these were (all the Korean spa-ers were eating them). With a bit of Google, realized that they bake these eggs in the 700 F sauna when not in use. The eggs turn a light brown, with a nutty toasty flavor. They're really good, doesn't need any salt, pepper - probably not the correct way to eat them anyway (took 2 of them home in my empty Sikhye cup). My only tips are to hang out early in front of the Dunkin Donuts for the shuttle, Schedule a massage after visiting the Wet Sauna, Hydrate!, bring socks if you're not comfortable walking around barefoot. Although the workers are constantly cleaning. If you're petite, use the Yellow Kid's uniform. Only criticism is that the women's pink uniform tops are extremely large and an extra thick sweatshirt material, which I quickly overheated in. Or maybe it's actually better for absorbing sweat?

So many different rooms and such a fun relaxing experience! There always seems to be sales so buy tickets in advance so you can take the free shuttle from KTown (though their transit hours are a bit funky, it's way easier than public transit). Food is very very overpriced and mid so I'd def recommend eating in advance, but the veggie dumplings are quite ok. Go for all the different rooms and try them all as they all have their own charm! One is incredibly hot and won't allow any phones inside but is still worth a few minutes. There are some older individuals who were weathering it out in there - so impressive! My favorite are the rooms with red light which are supposed to be rejuvenating. I've also gotten their massages as part of a package and would not really recommend as it's neither very relaxing nor muscle relieving (did not feel any different the next day).

We can easily spend the whole day here, and I still get lost. There are so many nooks and crannies with different types of rooms. We had a delicious lunch there as well. You can book a scrub too. Just note though that you have to be comfortable with being completely nude in the women's locker room.

Let me start off by saying that my family, friends, and I have had really good experiences at this spa. The facilites are nice and it was always a relaxing/fun time. The really hot sauna room was one of my favorites to go into! However, this most recent time I went (in Dec of 2022...I know this is late, sorry for not posting sooner) with my friend and brother & lots of things were not handled well. First of all, I wanted to use this gift that my boyfriend gave me that was basically a pass for 2 people that said it does not expire. Upon arrival they would not accept the gift card (which was bought from their site) because the image for the bar code in the email was supposed to be there wasn't showing. The front desk person was kind of rude to me about it and eventually they had to call the manager down to see if they could take care of it. It was said it could possibly be due to a switch in systems over the time, but in my opinion it should still have been honored. Anyways, the manager, Peter Yi, said this time we should just buy the regular tickets for this time. He gave me his number saying for me to message him and he would email someone to see if he could work on getting the tickets sorted out for next time. By the time we go through all that, it was an awkward time pricing wise because we could wait until like 7pm for the pricing to be a little lower or pay whatever that price was and go in. We decided to wait, but obviously by the time it rolled around a huge line had formed and he didn't even have the curtesy to help us out with even that. On top of that it was apparently considered a holiday so they were allowed to add like a $10 fee on top of that. It's just so many annoyances piling up. Eventually we get through, but their water boiler was down so the showers only had cold water and that took a while to get fixed too. So that wasn't fun! Other than that we still made the best time of what we could because it is a bit of a trek for us to get here. Fast Forward a little bit I messaged the manager and he said he was trying to contact said person. It was taking weeks and eventually he ghosted me. It was a very rude and unprofessional way to handle things. I hope that since then management and things have changed for the better.

Not much has changed but still good place to relax They should chill on overpriced food but I enjoyed time with family here

Great spot for traditional Korean sauna! The facility is a bit older but for the price it's pretty good. They also have shuttle service to and from Manhattan. Get the admission tickets on Groupon for a better deal. The space is big , lots of sauna room and resting space. They also have food if you get hungry. The eggs here are a must try!

As you can go back and see, I've been coming here since pre-pandemic and have always sung its praises however my last couple of visits have not been good and last night was the absolute worst. Last time I went was early on a Sunday morning because I figured it would be quieter and while it was emptier, the patrons have stopped observing the quiet policy and the staff does nothing about it even when told. I've had to shush people who are speaking in normal conversation inside the saunas. On top of that others walk around with their phones with the ringers on and speaking loudly. Really? You can't go a couple of hours without your electronic security blanket? They really should be limited to areas. All this was no different last night, on a Wednesday when I thought for sure it would be better. I went straight after work to enjoy a meal which I have on several occasions even with the much higher prices. Last night for the first time I ordered the bibimbop. I was surprised it came out very quickly and I soon learned it was because it was cold. I don't just mean like it's been sitting out and got to room temperature, it was straight up out of the fridge cold including the beef and egg! Ew! When I told the guy he just shrugged his shoulders and wouldn't take it back. When I addressed this at the front desk upon leaving she told me that dish is always served cold. Perhaps she believes I don't know any better but I frequent Korean restaurants all the time and have never had it cold, she also refused to refund me. The kicker came at the end of the night when I decided to go into the hot tub for the first time. I always see everyone completely nude but I wasn't about to do that so I read all the signs on the door in English and none of them stated that was the policy. I did shower like they ask you to and then I proceeded to go in with a bathing suit top and my underwear. A woman came over screaming at me (I didn't understand her) and I told her I showered before going in but she then yelled out the door to someone else who came in and had me removed! This place has certainly gone downhill after the pandemic as you can see from other reviews. Perhaps I need to go to that other classier joint to avoid all this. Aside from that they need to put lighting on the street leading to the self parking lot as it is extremely dark and not a safe looking street.

Similar pros and cons as before. It's nice that this place stays open late. During this visit we stayed until midnight and got a lot of usage of the coworking facilities. The Internet is a bit weird because it seemed to be unable to load certain websites including Yelp but was overall fast besides that. We tried the super hot oven sauna when it just opened and it was insanely hot. We couldn't even stay longer than a few seconds. It was nice afterwards though and we were able to stay longer.

I stopped going to spas in NYC bc of Spa Castle-trauma. (Over-crowded, dirty, loud, over-priced. ) King Spa & Sauna has renewed my faith and given me the experience I sought/wanted. Staff is sooo sweet, especially the lady who gave me and my daughter the hip bath. (She even did a photoshoot of us-adorable!) Loved everything about this place - clean, quiet, relaxing, affordable. No need for me to check out soju or other flashy spots...this is my new go-to home away from home. Great variety of saunas...tried the hottest pizza oven looking one and loved it (staff at door to this sauna make sure people don't overdo it and to ensure safety). Next time i will try massage or scrub. Thank you King Spa!!! I'll be back soon.

Tried Island Spa couple times before coming here because a couple of the patrons at Island mentioned how much bigger king spot is. Here is my comparison: * significantly larger * a ton more food options * TVs in the café with the news playing in some spots that are a good way away from others, as to not disturb them * Clientele was a bit classier-- i've seen some obnoxious people at Island spa which is why I started looking around for other places, especially because the behavior went unchecked. * as far as the women's locker room they had several parts it seemed as if there were two separate locker rooms two separate shower areas and two separate hot tub areas. One side was definitely newer and more updated. * they didn't offer some of the free items that island has such as toothbrushes. * Staff here, including the management was much more professional and helpful. There's a manager at Island that is a bit rough around the edges. It sets a bit of a precedence. Also if you have a concern at island, they dismiss you. *there were steps all over. I have a knee injury, and that part alone prevented a lot of mobility. In order to use the elevator, you have to find a staff member to use the key that was kind of an ordeal. Probably could've planned ahead if I knew there were stairs, but I didn't know until I got there. I wish I had seen it in the reviews. *There were LED lights on beds as well as on a slider that you could slide over your body and your face. * Relaxing, tranquil music * Really cute furniture and areas where you could play chess or other board games * wasn't a wait to use anything as far as I could see * the showers were set up differently and they faced the hot tubs so you didn't really get the same privacy that you would at Island, however, on the other part of locker room, the showers faced a different directions so it wasn't too bad but that was the section that was a little bit older, It wasn't run down by any means just not as nice. * island spa has Chinese herbs in a mesh bag and at least one of the hot tubs. They don't do that at King spa and I was a little disappointed because I love the smells of the herbs. What are return? Yes, I definitely would but because of the stairs, it made things a bit challenging. All in all I wanna keep looking for a more ideal spa that either has a readily available elevator or no steps at all. I love that I felt like the price was reasonable, especially compared to places in New York City. I also love this selection of food items and how quickly it was prepared. I love the professionalism and intentive that the staff gave. My next stop is going to be King spa in Virginia as well as Sojo in another part of Jersey because of the outside pools and such.

Great spa and sauna experience. The space is huge with a wide variety of sauna and hot rooms, which really makes the price worth it. The food is another highlight, offering delicious traditional Korean dishes that complete the experience. Highly recommend for a relaxing and refreshing day.

This was my first time at any kind of Korean spa, so I have absolutely nothing to compare it to. I had a good time, but I also feel like the full price $70, without any Groupon discounts, would've been too pricey for me to come again. We arrived around 2pm on a Sunday and stayed until around 7:45pm. We started off with the baths, which all felt very clean and well maintained. I appreciate that they have so many lockers everywhere so you can store your towels and such while you're in the baths. Once you're done with the baths, there are sauna rooms littered all over the property as well as UV light rooms, quiet nap rooms, and 3 general areas with games and snacks. The food is, IMO, themepark priced and highway robbery. But when you've been there for 5+ hours and you're hungry, you kind of have to do what you have to do. It was nice and relaxing, but I also don't know if I'm the type to spend 5+ hours just alternatively lounging in different rooms.

Not sure if it's the ton of crystals that are spread out everywhere inside King Sauna, but being here felt like a portal to another world. This is my new favorite place. I appreciate the sort of gritty Korean style here. I got a 50% off day admission deal on their website- always check there because apparently the website has their best deals- a "Summer "After 7pm" special which I truly considered a steal for $35! Their normal day pass is $70. I love the late hours here, 9am-2am everyday! Holidays included! However, if you want massage/reflexology/scrubs/other cool services (they have a ton of really good things!! I can't wait to go back to try them all), keep in mind, they stop reservations for services around 8pm. Sooo many cool saunas, steam room, hot/cold tubs, chill areas, etc! The food is slightly pricey, but it hits after spa-ing for a few hours and it's fun to eat barefoot in big comfy chairs! Worth it all around, King Sauna is a win, I'll definitely be back!

This spa and sauna is huge and richest in culture. Every spa/sauna piece has signage to educate the benefits & history. Rooms include mineral, to salt, to herbal, to gold, to mixed benefit, extreme hot, and also cold room. There is something for everyone. Also hot, extremely hot, and 2 cold tubs. I hope the have lemon mineral bath in one of the hot tubs someday. Basic Amenities are covered, including free clothing rental, towel, wash rag, and shoes not allowed. Face mask is for sale but I prefer to bring my own Price of food is delicious, healthy, balanced &affordable. I always leave here feeling light and refreshed. It's just very complete and perfect.

It's been a long time my friend. Pre-covid, I used to come here maybe twice a year circa Groupon deals - and still it's on Groupon. And quite frankly probably the only business on Groupon that's supporting each other because King Spa has yet to really find themselves better marketing which is a shame because rumor was that they take 50% of the sale (which is nuts). So allegedly there was a renovation, to what Real end I can't tell - some furniture was moved around, and there are these warm LED - possibly UV therapy areas and there's a lot of it. Poor signage still in explaining the benefits of it. What one can really benefit is the basic need that the human body should experience shocks in their system via the super hot sauna and the freezer here. If you want to relax, bring ear plugs and go to a dark room - perhaps one only for Men or Women. Otherwise you'll be hearing all the hot gossip in various foreign language which you can't even appreciate. The thing that has saddened the experience is the nickel and diming of stuff and increased prices for such an old establishment. This includes toothbrushes and razors taken away (only to tease you with the free toothpaste and shaving cream in the shower area) to the $4 for 3 eggs. 50 cents for a plastic cup of ice water.

We came here for a spa day. First time at a Korean spa so we were scared-excited. Only see them on TV. I was able to get a discounted entrance fee from Groupon. The spa areas are clean and well maintained. The spaces are large and there are plenty of places to hangout and hide. The staff is friendly and pointed you the places. You can definitely get lost at first. Bought a few snacks and then a lunch tray in the cafeteria. Food was well made and quick. Overall I liked the place. There's a need to be a transparent when you check out and pay the bill on items. They have parking not far away. Will go back again knowing what to expect. King Spa gets a recommendation!

나 혼자 만의 경험이 아니고 아줌마들의 수다에서 나온 공감된 내용들 입니다 세신사 분들의 꼼수 ... 때맛사지는 90 분으로 되어 있지만 90분을 지키시는 분들이 거의 없습니다. 마사지를 시작하는 기준으로 시간을 시작해야 하는데 그렇지 않고 마사지 총 타임에서 앞 뒤로 5 분씩 중간에 팩 만들고 준비한다고 10 분 즉 35 분 때밀고 35 분 정도 마사지를 합니다. 즉 앞에 5 분 떼먹고 뒤에 5 분 중간에 10 분 ... 어느 한 분만 그러는게 아니고 거의 대부분 관행 처럼 그렇게 은근 슬쩍 시간 떼어 먹습니다. 세신사 분들은 본인들만 시간을 보는 걸로 아는데 손님들도 시간을 봅니다 말을 안하고 갔다고해서 모르는게 아닙니다. 양심 문제 입니다. 정확하게 시간을 지키고 서비스를 제공하시던지 아니면 70 분 마사지로 정보 수정하시고 거기에 맞는 가격을 책정 하시던지... 손님들은 바보가 아닙니다.

Very large spa. Lots and I mean lots big beautiful geodes all around and plenty of lush bush and trees. Must wear uniform and cannot go into steam room or hot tubs unless nude. Great reflexology massage. Wonderful salt and gold pyramid saunas, could be a little hotter though. Awesome authentic and delicious restaurant with ample seating. Spent 4 hours there. Could have spent another 4. Highly recommend.

My 1st time visiting a Korean Spa/Sauna, so nothing to refer to, but overall, it was a good experience. I did not try any of their Spa treatments and mostly just used the Sauna and Pools, which was pretty good. Complimentary items are almost non-existent, and you are better off carrying your own Towels and Drinks.

I went during Valentine's Day weekend, so it was packed. I got the full body scrub/oil massage. I definitely will go back, the saunas were okay too.

I've reviewed King Spa in NJ before but I had a really bad experience there on Saturday. There's a lady there who works handing out the uniforms and towels, who definitely has a superiority complex. I've been to kind spa a bunch of times, so I know what size I am in the uniforms there. (For those of you who has been there before, the pink uniforms are standard sizes, where as the white ones are extended). So, she basically assesses me and hands me the white one, and I go, I'm normally in those ones, and I point to the pink ones and she goes, "those won't fit you" ... so I went to the locker and tried on the white uniform and was swimming it in. The shirt was so big that I could basically climb out of the top. So, I go back to her and I'm like, "this is too big, I need that one." And this B, literally unwraps the pink uniform, holds up the pants and goes "this won't fit you" ... and I was like, yes, it will. So finally, she gives it to me... and surprise, surprise, not only does it fit, but the pants are baggy with a lot of extra room. So, I walk past here and I'm like... "see they fit!" And her only response was "well I guess you know better than I do." No, apology or anything. I tried to go upstairs and ignore it, but I was pretty upset about the whole situation, so when I went back down, I told her, "you really shouldn't assess people. When they tell you their size, you should believe them." ... she just kept arguing with me. Terrible customer service. Honestly, they should get rid of her. Prior to this, another customer was saying something to her about how she ruined their day. Clearly, this woman shouldn't be in the service industry. She's not a nice person and doesn't take accountability even when people confront her. I hope she steps on infinite Legos barefoot. (Posting a pic of me in the pink uniform which "wouldn't fit" .... Bye Felicia.)

I've been going to King Spa for years and it got very popular within the past few years so going on weekends is tough now because of how packed it is I went into a dry sauna room and after a bit a group of women came in and started talking rather loudly (where most people would whisper in these rooms) I asked them to lower their volume and they did, albeit one person. They left after a little and the one person came back in, asked me if I was Korean, said she was, then proceeded to tell me that she was a 40 year old mom and about how the dry sauna is a public place and she can be as loud as she wants then told me to shut the fuck up Attached is a photo that says to be quiet in the sauna Try to avoid weekends and holidays so you don't encounter Karens like I did

Great place!! Very authentic!! The scrub scrubbed all my stress away and some. Everyone was nice!!

I came to this spa Saturday morning at 10:30am. It was very empty in the morning and my friends and I got to check most of the saunas out. In the afternoon it got more packed, but not too many people to make me feel uncomfortable. I love how there are many different temperature saunas. Each sauna have a different decorations and theme. They are extremely pretty and clean! There was one extreme sauna room where you need to bring in a mat to sit on because it very hot. That sauna was around 250 degrees! I went there twice and each time for couple of minutes. We got a great sweat from there. They also have places to nap and play games. I felt so relaxed in King Spa. I had three meals there and stayed until 11pm. We had steamed dumplings, beef soondubu, bibikudoku, bulgogi, spicy beef broth soup, rice drink, bingsoo. Most of the food were delicious and all came with side dishes.I love the bibikudoku, it was cool and gelt very fresh. The rice drink was incredible but pricey ($11). We were a bit disappointed for the bulgogi because it was over cooked but the flavor was good. Bingsoo was refreshing and came with many fruits. Overall, food was great just a bit over priced. I was with my friends in the women locker room where they have steam room, warm, hot and cold pools. Please beware that in the pools and the showers, you need to be naked. That goes to the same for the men locker room. Be careful to not toss away your towels because they only give you one. If you need an extra one, you need to pay $2. When it comes to the clothes they give you to wear in the coed area, women wear pink and men wear white. Women have one big white towel and a small pink one. Men have one small white towel. My male friends were confused to why they don't have a big towel. It would be great if king spa gives us more towels without additional cost. Overall, I love and enjoyed my time in King Spa! I spent about 12 hours there. I'm definitely coming back and I highly recommend!

My son and I love going and being free and open. It's the one place besides home where we can be naked and proud.

What an awful experience. The ladies in black underwear scrubbing you are miserable and complaining to each other in their language. I came for scrub and massage (over $210!) but left with stress and more back pain. The next day I had pain down my legs and had to see the doctor. The place is old and dirty. Plus they add a required tip to the price so there's obviously no reason for customer service. Please please try to find another place. I'm forever traumatized.

I am a half Korean and half African American. I have been to Korea and have Korean family, so please dont say its the culture. The lady at service counter, just plain rude, and did not make feel welcome maybe because my Korean was not fluent. She had asked me if I wanted general admission or something else but i didnt hear her clearly i had a ear piece. She responded dont just say yes qant do you want, it seemed she didnt like me speaking incorrectly. Secondly when I ordered food, it seemed everyone else had a variety of side dishes while I received 2 side of kimchi and a side of fish cake. As I sat and observed the ladies serving food were talking about non Korean speaking people very rudely. Specifically about nonKorean, non Caucasians. 3rdly the woman in the womans area who clicks her gum constantly giving dirty looks and ugly faces. Let me tell you that the Korean people I know are kind and loving, im not expecting everyone to be that way, however we are in America we are not in Korea. If you only want Korean people to come, maybe you should put a sign to inform people that, but ofcourse you won't because you have no problem with receiving their cash. I simply wanted to go to detox and found myself feeling so negative after the experience. I drove almost 2 hrs just to be able to relax. Its $80 entrance fee i was willing to pay but to witness how rude and inconsiderate THE STAFF WAS. YOU DONT KNOW WHO understands or SPEAKS WHAT. I really did not appreciate their treatment and had to call my Mom. As I was leaving the front lady who was rude when I arrived was talking to Korean man and I had to pass, they were blocking the entrace/exit. I had a book bag, I asked in korean excuse he would not budge so I used my bag to move him out the way. The only nice Korean person was the old man that retrieved my vehicle from vallet. I wish I could have tipped him more. Obnoxious and plain rude the staff, they had no problem though being kind to other Koreans and Caucasians. Go figure. Very disappointed, and ordering a sauna for home so that I dont have to experience that again. All I wanted to do was enjoy my culture and detox. I guess because im not Korean or Caucasian I did not deserve that. Thank you I will not be coming back well job done. So if your not Korean or Caucasian they will talk about you in your face, and you won't understand. Beware when you spend your money. In total I spent 200.00. I dont feel good about it at all.

This place turned me out! Lol I'm a spa girly now. I told so many people about this place. I don't think there's anything wrong but I don't think most men would enjoy it compared to others. I will say that this a must for the women, with everything going on take some time for you and heal & treat yourself to a day of rest, relaxation, and some self care.

We had a great time however I had a few mishaps along the way. When they give you a towel to go in - I was not told that I couldn't get another one. If I had known - I would have put it in my locker to save for the end of the day. They wanted to charge me $2 for another towel! That's ridiculous! Especially considering they don't tell you when you go in! Also there should be benches or stools in the sauna rooms. It's difficult to get up and down there n the floor so much. Another strange thing - there were tons of kids. Even in the bath house which was uncomfortable Otherwise we had a good time. My favorite was the dome healing beds.

I love this place. I've been here maybe 3 times now and it's great each time I go. I always feel cleansed and detoxed after, and it's a great stress reliever. There's a wide selection of saunas on different floors, each with varying humidities & heat levels. Water is located on every floor to hydrate. Some saunas are so heated that it feels difficult to breathe. My favorite sauna would be the one on the lower level, where they bake the eggs! I also love the whole vibe of this place. It reminds me of the k-dramas where you see all the ahjummas hang around, and that's exactly what this place is. You know it's legit when all the grannies come here to relax. There is also plenty of seating where you could sit with your friends. I recommend bringing board games! Keep in mind, you have to be comfortable with being naked and seeing other people naked when in locker rooms and shower. If entering the shower, you can't go in with your clothes and you have to leave your towel by the locker outside.

Massive spa with lots of interesting hot/cold rooms, plenty of pools to enjoy hot and cold as well. It can get quite busy during the peak hours (see a lot more people after lunchtime on weekends) but if you go in the morning it's not too bad. The price is on the more expensive side but you get pretty good bang for your buck with all the options. Wish their cafeteria was more affordable but it is what it is.

I came here during a weekday and it wasn't too crowded. The check in process and finding lockers was straightforward. The women's bath feels very clean and it was wonderful to soak in the different hot tubs and cold tub. There is varying degree of heat in each bath but the hottest tub seemed to be the most popular so it could get crowded occasionally. The sauna and lounge area was also great. Temperature felt very similar between different types of sauna and it would have been nice to have a temp display outside. One of the sauna (the one said to have temp of 200C) had limited opening hours and it just happened that it was not open when I was in the sauna area so I did not get to try it.

A 4.5/5 star experience!!! One of the best massages of my life + a delicious bibimbap set + 4hrs of spa time-- the perfect Labor Day activity. We arrived at 930a and the crowd picked up considerably by 11am (3-4x). Feels a bit less relaxing when there is a line to get seating in the steam/sauna rooms. All clients were respectful. No unwanted advances. As before, the hassle of getting to Manhattan wasn't much easier. We took a NJ transit bus 166 (use the app to cut ticket lines) from Port Authority to Weehawken ($3.5pp), then a $18 uber to Kings Spa; a total of 20+15min). The route back seemed too complicated via bus, so we splurged on a $50 uber downtown. Complimentary buses to/from King Spa are 2-3x/day with limited seating and inconvenient times, albeit worth investigating. Can't wait to come back!

Very clean and really attentive staff! Lunch was great as well! Thank you very much! Definitely going back soon.

First time ever going and was amazed. Quite an experience. Definitely would go again .

I absolutely loved my experience here. I brought my nieces here for their birthday and they are big fans now as well. The food was delicious and the staff is super friendly and can answer any questions. They usually have deals as well.
