King Spa Restaurant - Review - Palisades Park - The Infatuation

"Taking a nap in a golden pyramid guarded by a pair of lion statues is pretty good. Following that nap up with some chicken wings is even better. King Spa is a Korean spa in Palisades Park, New Jersey with saunas, massage treatments, and body scrubs galore. It’s not quite as luxurious, or as large, as SoJo Spa Club in nearby Edgewater—but daily admission here is about half the price, and King Spa is open much later, until 2am. Best of all, the counter-service Korean restaurant on the second floor serves food till 11pm, so even night owls can replenish the nutrients they just sweated out in the mineral salt room. photo credit: Molly Fitzpatrick Order at the counter and, as you wait for your number to be called, find a seat in the sprawling dining room with ornate, princess-pink furniture. The dishes here skew under-seasoned, so don’t be shy in your use of the provided salt shaker and jar of gochugaru to make them sing. Prioritize King Spa’s satisfying soups, and rest assured that you won’t be the first person to accidentally dribble spots of red broth onto your provided uniform. photo credit: Molly Fitzpatrick They also serve juices, homemade ginger tea, and eggs baked—like you—in the spa’s very hottest sauna. If you need to cool down, there’s a freezer section with honeydew Melona bars and other Korean ice-cream treats in the food court, as well as a separate stand downstairs that serves bingsoo. (Appropriately, you’ll find that right next to the ice room.) Food Rundown Yoogaejang The glass noodles in this spicy beef soup have a nice chew, and the broth itself is earthy and comforting. Seafood Soondubu Also available with veggies or beef, this stew with exceptionally silky tofu and mixed seafood (we especially like the shrimp) is hot in terms of both spice and temperature, served still boiling in its pot. Bibimbap Served cold, this dish isn’t strictly necessary, but if you’re sharing, it makes for a refreshing contrast (and welcome vehicle for roughage) from the hot soups you should otherwise be eating here. Chicken Wings The wings don’t have a ton of flavor on their own—and not much in the way of a sauce— but they’re nevertheless juicy, crunchy, and enjoyable." - Molly Fitzpatrick

The place is very clean and organized! Food good quality, a little pricey but not disappointed. The saunas are great! Many of them, so relaxing.. lot of things to do! Liked the table games. I’ve never had done a nude experience and it wasn’t bad at all, but you don’t have to do it if you don’t want it, you can skip that part, just keep in mind that is the only area that have hot tubs. If you don’t want to go nude the options are the saunas food, light therapy and table games. I just would be a little more strict with the noise. Some areas are very relaxing but people can be very loud around and there is a beep and a machine that is always calling numbers when you make an order of food or drinks, I personally think that disturbs the relaxing ambiance when you are into it. The overall experience was good! I will come back.

⸻ I visited this spa after purchasing a Groupon, attracted by the promise of a Korean spa experience featuring sauna and dry steam rooms. While the environment was generally clean and quiet, I found it to be a bit pricey for what was actually offered. A few of the advertised facilities were either unavailable or not fully operational during my visit, which was disappointing given the cost. Another drawback was the strict closing procedures. Although the spa is advertised to close at 2:00 AM, staff began shutting things down promptly at 1:30 AM and made it clear that guests needed to wrap up. It felt rushed and cut into the relaxing experience you expect from a late-night spa visit. I had hoped to try the food, but because of the timing of my visit and the early wind-down, I didn’t get the chance. The menu looked decent, but it’s hard to comment without having tried it. Overall, while the spa has potential and some nice features, the combination of unavailable amenities, the rushed closing process, and the higher-than-expected price point left me underwhelmed. For the value, I’d suggest exploring other options before committing to this one.

The first time I visited this spa was kind of nervous cause of some of the negative reviews. This is why it is very important that you come here and experience it yourself. I was greeted at arrival with a very helpful lady who even asked me if I knew where to go after of course getting my wristband. She explains everything in detail . And I was very pleased . Headed to the locker rooms to pick up my towel got naked enjoyed the saunas and showers and jacuzzis. Then headed for lunch and paid 20 for the dumplings. very good and it came with a small salad. Free water ( tap filtered ) after that headed to my massage appointment for $130 for 1 hour. After that I enjoyed the saunas once more then took a shower and went home. It was Saturday I arrived at 10 am it was very pleasant till like 4 pm when I started to get a little busier. I park a few steps from ShopRite supermarket. It was a nice 9 out of 10. Loved that some employees are Latinos so felt more relaxed. It's not a Soho spa of course but for the price and the cleanliness it was nice. Will come back again and again and again To the employees thank you for welcoming me to your spa and culture and enjoying it so much that it felt part of your family. Next time I will use the chopsticks more properly haha. Be blessed King Spa.

I’ve been to all the three King Spa & Sauna locations in the United States. My ranking is: 1. Dallas 2. New Jersey 3. Chicago I enjoyed my visit to this location. We arrived soon after they opened and there was a long queue of people waiting to check in. Definitely bring an ID but it’s ok if you forget. The women’s baths had 4 tubs; 2 hot and 2 cold, as well as the steam room. I did not book an appointment for extra services like body scrubs or massage services which were on the pricey side. The food in the restaurant is definitely delicious and authentic korean cuisine. In addition to just sauna rooms, they have a chess room equipped with other board games which I thought was a very nice addition unique to this location only. I enjoyed my time here and would visit again.

Place was crowded today. Theres a shuttle bus that goes from flushing to here on the weekends. There was a special going online, so we paid 50 for our entrance. General admission is 70 on the weekday. They offer facials, body scrubs, massages, nails and etc. They have many cute sauna rooms and an ice room. They have this one room, where its super hot. I forgot what its called. But its in the picture.

I've been to King Spa twice now. The massages are great but expensive. The saunas are very, very relaxing. They have many saunas to choose from. The facility is extremely clean, and you are to be barefoot the entire time. The pool/bath rooms for women are completely nude. I didn't participate in that and just went to the saunas. The food was ok, a bit expensive but that's expected. If you are interested in going, buy admission tickets on GroupOn for cheaper rates.

I recently visited King Spa, and overall, it was a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. From the moment I stepped in, the ambiance was serene and calming. The interior was beautifully designed with a mix of modern and traditional Korean elements that added to the tranquil atmosphere. The cleanliness was impeccable, with each room and facility meticulously maintained. The staff at King Spa were friendly and professional, making me feel welcome throughout my visit. Its really a good place to hangout with your loved one. I particularly enjoyed the Himalayan salt room and the ice room, which provided a refreshing contrast after the heat. King Spa offers an excellent balance of relaxation, wellness treatments, and a clean, beautiful environment. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comprehensive spa experience.

Very nice, quiet, and relaxing place. It's very good to enter early in the morning after 9 am and to hang out till the late evening. You'll start with a sauna and different kinds of baths, then you're getting dry and wearing local company's t-shirts and shorts and now starts your adventure in Korean King Spa. A lot of different rooms (lounges) are hot, warm, and ice cold with aroma and w/o, with different types of salt and w/o. Also, there are a few choices for smoothies(make sure you're ordering exactly what you want, there is no mix type of smoothies), besides the beverages, if you're getting hungry, you could sit in the nice cafeteria and have good quality food, from soups to the sushi rolls and many other choices. That was a big pleasure and I definitely will repeat that experience with my crew.

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.

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'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 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:)

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.

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.

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

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.

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).

Very turned off by false marketing. They advertised a flash deal for Fourth of July weekday sale of $49 on their website. When we went in person after driving two hours to take out of town guests, we were told that price was online only. Nowhere on the website did it say it was an online price. They said we had to pay $70 per person for entrance but when I showed them the site, they pointed to the wall behind them and said that's not their problem and asked if that promo was on their wall and said basically too bad.

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.

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.

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.

The thing is last time we came and they didn't tell us we need a guardian at 18 and they just let us come in, but this time they wasting my time and saying i can't get in when i'm 18. This place need to check around to see how their workers work.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

What I got: Weekend Admission Pass (~$45 each with sale) Valet Parking ($5) Shikhye (~$11): traditional Korean-style rice drink with a moderately sweet flavor and barley scent Eggs baked in Volcanic Sauna (3 for ~$5) Beef Sundubu (~$22): Korean-style soft curdled tofu with assorted vegetables and beef in a spicy soup base; served with side dishes and steamed rice Aya's take: King Spa & Sauna is the largest Korean spa & sauna on the East coast with dry saunas, hot saunas, healing room, aroma lounge, gender-specific full-nude facilities that include hot tubs, cold plunges, and a steam room. We stopped by on a super cold day...and so did A LOT of other people. We arrived at 10:30am and by 1pm, it was pretty packed. The gender-specific full-nude facilities were pretty full by the afternoon and even some of the saunas had a wait or we had to circle back to at a later time. My absolute favorite one was the Bul Hanjeungmak (Hot Sweat Room). This 200° C (yes, Celsius) room was incredibly for detoxing, getting rid of aches and pains, and sweating like you've never sweat before. Apparently, it's also where the Eggs served in the restaurant are made. Speaking of food, the eggs were actually delicious and reasonably priced at 3 for $5. Many dishes here are not reasonably priced so we decided to split one dish to hold us over until we left. The Beef Sundubu was surprisingly delicious! There was a decent portion of beef, the soup base was mild and flavorful, and there was plenty of soft tofu. I also enjoyed the Shikhye which definitely had barley essence in every sip but at a place like this, it's a great way to get back some of the sugars/energy you've depleted. Although I had a good experience, it would've been better without the crowds. I recommend visiting at non-peak days/hours and always check their website or Groupon for good deals! Lastly, there wasn't any street parking when we went and I had no idea where the free parking was; we opted for the $5 valet parking which was easy enough for drop-off and pick-up. Relaxing day, all in all!

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 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!

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.

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!

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've been coming here since I was in middle school and always loved it. It's been getting more well known and busy which is good, but I try to avoid times I know will be crowded. I went on Saturday right when it opened and it was great (9 am and left around 2 pm) The food is pricey but worth it. I always find street parking within 5 minutes. As long as people are clean and respectful, this spa will continue to be the best in NJ/NY.

Korean spas are my jam. Went here on a rainy day. This place was very nice. They have a separate spa/steam/sauna area for men and for ladies. You can tell that this place is very well maintained and proper sanitation occurs. The common area has a restaurant, cafe, game area, computer area, sauna areas, and relaxation rooms. I really liked how they had personal dry sauna machine. It was nice it could be placed on different body parts. The place also offers a hair/nail salon and massage parlor.

Went to nj from NY because my friend recommended this Korean spa! It is really large and has many different rooms, but the day I went it was pretty crowded. Each of the rooms fit like 4-6 people and they were all always full so it was hard to find a place to relax. The food seemed a bit overpriced in the restaurant
