Went w my son and daughter today. I've been there about 3 times prior. Never have I had an issue here. We went to JJ's massage nearby before, here was better. George took me and really hit deep spaces. He exposed my Knots, and did an exceptional service! My son and daughter were happy w theirs, as well. It is not a fancy place, for those expecting that. Great value for what they offer. Even though their may be a potential language barrier..... Universal language speaks louder than words. It's not a big deal for me. We got package D.... 70 minutes, w the hot rocks! That extra ten minutes, put the massage, on a higher level! They do charge $2 for credit card and No charge, offering Zelle & Venmo as options. I did call.hour before the massage, to see if they had 3 Massage Therapists available. They've had a repeat customer, w me, na do will continue ot return! When I'm in the Downtown LA area..... And I need it..... I go to this establishment! BTW...... They stayed open late for us!! We walked in at about 7pm,and left at about 8:30pm!

I’m sure this place is normally great, everyone in there seemed to have a good time. However, I came in for a 30 minute massage with my friend, just for my friend to start the massage after changing. (I timed the whole ordeal after I had to wait, so I’m giving you guys an accurate description of what happened) I waited 15 minutes for my massage to start, and when I did wait the person who did my massage was the guy who was taking phone calls and scheduling appointments. There were 5 instances within 15 minutes into the massage where he would pick up the phone and schedule appointments mid massage while digging his elbow into my spine (after I told him to be more gentle) out of a lack of attention to the client. He even left the massage for 3 minutes and didn’t even dismiss himself or explain that he was taking calls for more customers. Not even 15 minutes into my massage, after countless times of telling him to be gentle, I called it quits and said I was done with the massage. He acted surprised as if he hadn’t been negligent to me telling him he was being to rough with his elbows and my scalp. 1) If you can’t even provide a service to a client IN THE STORE, why are you taking more clients in? 2) If you’re going to be answering the phone mid massage, BE GENTLE. I can’t even describe the back pain I have gotten from this place. I went in there with lower back pain and left with pains in my back that weren’t there before. Not to mention, I had made comments to my friends about how horrible the massage was, and even told the man himself at the checkout how horrible it was. I still paid the $40 because I didn’t do enough research on the place, but he asked me for A TIP after providing the worst service. As someone who has been getting massages from random places for the past 3 years, this is the worst place I’ve been to. I just want to say, if the guy who picks up the phone is the one who is going to give your massage, SAY NO. He is horrible. Hopefully they take this into consideration cause I’m telling everyone about this places reputation.

Best massage I’ve ever had in the US. Michael went to great lengths to make my massage a good experience: he asked me about problem areas, stayed open 20 minutes late for me (I would have been fine with my massage getting cut short for closing, so I tipped accordingly!), massaged my scalp and face including my EYEBROWS and EYE SOCKETS. I didn’t realize my lower back had been holding tension until he squeezed hard. The free hot stones were a nice surprise (never tried that before, but I loved it), as was being wiped down of oil with a warm moist towel. The $50 was an awesome value. I am in town on business and I will definitely be returning on my next trip.

Okay so my dad got a message here he said it was fine he felt good after he got a regular one but for anyone that is considering doing acupuncture here be warned I just witnessed one of the massagers pour used unsterile alcohol that was used to sterilize a needle back into the alcohol container I’m guessing they reuse the alcohol which is severely concerning and unsanitary

very savvy masseuses and incredibly kind management. They are experienced with acupressure and deep tissue massage. Every time I receive a treatment here I find deep relief (I have several herniated disks and cervical problems). I tried cupping as well (which is added for just $20 when booking a massage) and it was great. They also offer CBD oil massage. It's always good to book in advance as they get very busy especially after 1pm.

I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. At the time of my arrival everyone seemed so nice. I went with my two sisters, and I was asked to wait 5 mins until someone was available for me. When it was my turn the guy was nice but was really hurting me. I kept thinking why did I come here. The entire time I felt pain, he heard me grunting and asked if I was okay, I told him he was hurting me. He continued to massage me with so much pressure, I wanted to cry. I thought about getting up and walking away but I didn’t have the guts to do so. I couldn’t wait for it to be over. My back feels bruised and sore. Then when it was finally over I go pay and my two sisters were there waiting they looked upset. I directed myself to pay with a man in the front. He told me it was $50 and asked how much was I going to tip. I said $5 thinking it was reasonable especially since I didn’t like it one bit. I thought the man did his job, I could’ve left the moment I felt discomfort but like I mentioned I didn’t have the guts. Anyways as soon as I said $5 tip the man looked at me with anger in his eyes he didn’t say anything at the moment but his tone when he told me my told said it all. My sister then tells me he is mad because he wants no less then $10 tip each. That didn’t sit well with me, first because I had a terrible experience and second because they shouldn’t ask to be tipped a certain about especially in a rude way. My sisters mentioned that he said. “He didn’t like that, $5 is no good, I don’t like that!” And he said it in front of other customers. No professionalism! DON’T GO TO PANDA MASSAGE!!!

I've been going to this place for 3 years now. I tried other places, but always my first choice has remained Panda Massage. I leave feeling amazing. After I finished writing my review, I read others' comments. And I have something to say. If someone is working hard making you feel well, their work deserves a fair compensation. I respect myself and my work. In my own business, I ask to be paid fairly for my labor. In turn, I respect how hard they work, putting a lot of physical effort into giving me a good relief for my aching muscles and I am grateful. So I don't count what % of the price I should leave. I consider their list prices low, for an hour of physical labor. So I always leave a $20 for $40 massage. I hope you agree that it's fair.

Whether you are looking to loosen up after a stressful day or looking for the best places to go for your weekend getaways, a good rub down will be most satisfying. Massage can improve blood circulation, release those muscle tension, and give your body the much-needed care and support. It is located at the heart of Chinatown. Just a short drive from Downtown LA. If you are touring Chinatown, drop by to experience that good old Chinese massage. Panda Massage is the most affordable, convenient, and perfect place to de-stress.They have a specialty services available to those who desire an alternative to massage therapy. Bio-electric therapy is very safe and effective at reliving pain. It acts as an alternative to acupuncture, without the needled. It utilized the meridian points just as our many massage services.

Don’t go here. There are many other places close by where $40 will get you a better massage and a much better experience. The 2 employees there, a man and a woman, will together try to discomfort you into tipping excessively when the massage is over. I gave them $40 for a $35 mediocre massage and the guy looked at me like he was angry. “That’s all?” he said. The woman who gave the massage then came over and started telling me repeatedly how that’s not enough (in front of other customers waiting). They suggested that I go to an atm and get more cash. How ridiculous! I told them “That’s not how it works” and reminded them that they shouldn’t expect anything beyond their listed prices. The woman responded “Back off.” 🙄. Extremely unprofessional and not at all the atmosphere you expect when you go to get a massage.
