Chinatown Relax Spa Inc
📍 Gay-friendly spas in New York
Address offers a range of massage services at competitive prices, making it an affordable option for those seeking relaxation and relief. The thorough and efficient treatments provided by some therapists can leave clients feeling rejuvenated. However, the quality of service can vary significantly, with communication barriers and inconsistent techniques being notable drawbacks.
While the male therapist is highly praised for their strong technique, the experience with other staff members may not meet the same high standards. The lack of English proficiency among some staff can hinder clear communication, and there have been instances of boundary-crossing during sessions, which is a serious concern for client comfort and safety.

I wrote a glowing review last week when I had the male therapist with great and strong technique. But I deleted it today when I went back and had a lady therapist. She was on her phone texting or reading something during the massage. When I told her to use more pressure, she then put her phone down and put a "little more pressure". I don't think she got into any of my sore spots like the male therapist did. The massage finished and I didn't feel like I got a massage at all. When I gave her a 25% tip, she said I had to tip more because the massage was cheap and that I asked for a strong massage which made her thumbs hurt because I didn't use oil. Considering this is supposed to be Tui Na, it was totally unprofessional for her to say that. I also didn't think the massage was strong at all. There was one point where she pulled my hair for 5 min. And then tied my hair back in a very awkward ponytail on the front of my head. They don't have a phone number so you cannot guarantee the male therapist. If it was the male therapist I would give 5 stars.
On the good side: The prices are very cheap, and the massage is very thorough and efficient. On the bad, (and more important) side: The staff doesn't speak English, save for a few words, making it rather hard to communicate - this would have been a minor issue, had it not been for the fact that one of the masseuses (a middle-aged male) crossed my girlfriend's boundaries, repeatedly massaging areas not agreed upon, and trying to pry away a bra that had no hindering impact on the massage procedure; all the while making lewd grunts. Whether the request to stop was lost in translation, or he simply chose to pretend not to understand, this has been a very unpleasant experience for my girlfriend. Despite myself (male) personally having had a good experience with my masseuse (the younger guy), I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone, as long as there is a member of the staff with sexual harassment issues. Very unprofessional.
The man who massaged me was not respectful of my boundaries or personal space. He made me feel extremely uncomfortable and even walked into the room before I was finished changing. It was an extremely unprofessional experience and I genuinely felt violated. While I was getting my massage, I heard another customer come in (a man), and he was offered the choice of a female or male masseuse. I was not given a choice, despite the fact that there was a woman also sitting in the lobby when I walked in. The man who massaged me seemed overly eager to touch my body and made me extremely uncomfortable the entire time. Please do not go here!
My boyfriend and my friend we Love this place!!!! If you want deep tissues massage this is the place. It's cheap and friendly services . We went to get full body massage and this place gave us 100% satisfaction.. I even came back an hour after to get my feet massage. I love it! I would recommend this place to anyone that's looking for cheap , and good deep tissues massage !! I'll come again for sure.
While the place is easy to miss and the business a clear definitely of "small", the Male owner makes up for everything with his skills and endless conversation. It isnt a fancy spa where looks is the selling point but a place where one rejuvenates the body through physical pain. It's a strange concept to many but in the Chinese culture, it is normal to fight pain with pain. Highly recommend for people looking for a deep tissue massage. 👍👍
Awesome! Had a 30 min foot massage for $20+tip. Great! Felt energized and happy when departing. Would definitely go back if I manage the time for it.
I've gotten a massage here twice by the same guy and he really delivers. He finds my sore spots right away. Good deal!
