Thai Classic Massage

Got a massage on New Years Day after a long holiday week (traveling, sleeping on uncomfortable beds, etc.)
Best massage I’ve had in years. Nisa was my masseuse. She clearly knows what she’s doing — she quickly zeroed in on my tightest spots (shoulders, neck, jaw) and asked if it was OK for her to focus there for the entire hour. YES.
It was intense bodywork — she is a strong lady, despite her small frame, and she was basically trying to tenderize my tightest muscles. When the hour was up, I swear my shoulders dropped 2 inches. I could barely stay awake. After an amazing nights’ sleep, I awoke feeling relaxed and refreshed.
$ 45 for an hour (or less, if you have flexible weekdays) — it doesn’t get much better than this. I will definitely be back!

I started coming here is 2011, and for a while this was my favorite Thai massage house. No more. It’s under «new management».
Yesterday I called to see if they could take two people for thai massages at 6 pm. I mentioned over the phone that one of us had a gift certificate. I had purchased that gift certificate for my friend for her birthday last year. It was as part of her birthday celebration _​this_​year that we were going to get massages. The woman on the phone says that a gift certificate will be «no problem».
Except, that’s not what happened. They refused to take the gift certificate. Told us it was from a very long time ago, and refused to accept it because they were under «new management». 1. The time to bring this up was over the phone when I mentioned that we had a gift certificate. 2. This is FRAUD. In California, gift certificates DO NOT expire!!! And, if a business has changed ownership the new owner has acquired a businesses liabilities along with its assets. The business did not change in name or location.
My friend didn’t make a big deal out of it, but I’m very frustrated.
Add to this that we both got massages we didn’t like, and you get my 1 star review.
Artur was my massage therapist. I asked for a Thai massage with lots of stretching. What I got was a hybrid Thai/​Swedish massage with 2 leg stretches at the end. NOT what I wanted or asked for!
My friend got a massage that was much too hard for her, very painful, and is not TIGHTER than she was when she went in.
Thai Classic Massage. Your «new management» is rotten, and I’m unfriending you IRL.

i just keep going back and it got better today. $ 40 massage plus time, pretty great. and during the week before 2p it’s even $ 35. so don’t get the wrong idea, it is zero-​ambiance, no frills, a little noisy and stuffy in the front room but in the back the tables are separated by sheets and it’s private and zen-​ish. but i really have to give a shout out to SAM, first time getting a massage from him, i general have my regulars but they weren’t available, but sam was GREAT! traditional, great with the pressure points, really intuitive, strong. i’ll be going back and asking for sam first next time. thanks!

This was my first Thai massage ever … I have tendinitis in my shoulder… they helped me stretch it out. So happy I went. Will definitely go again! If you’re worried about it being too rough they listen when you ask for softer … Didn’t have to repeat myself once.

The actual one-​hour massage was not that enjoyable… because Annie is killer and her strength is no joke. She seriously tore into me with her elbows and hands, so much so that I literally made noises from the pain a few times. I’m a small girl, but I don’t like those extra-​gentle massages where it feels like your masseuse is just rubbing or stroking you. However, Annie’s massage is on another level pressure-​wise. Beware. So I wasn’t able to really relax and enjoy the session, but afterwards I found that my muscles had loosened up and a lot of the knots that were killing me were gone or at least had improved. So I guess it was a successful session?
I’ve been here a few times and the price is great ($ 40 for 60 minutes; $ 35 for 60 min Mon-​Thurs before 2pm; CASH ONLY), the people are always super friendly (although most speak very limited English), and the place is clean and well-​maintained with nice soft background music. Annie’s great, especially if you like a LOT of pressure and want someone who will really work at your knots despite the pain… but next time I think I will try someone else.

I am plagued by muscle tightness, knots, migraines. Annie and Arthur have helped me so much with their techniques and at the great prices I can afford to go every week!

Absolutely the best place for a Thai massage. Sam is a master. He is strong, has excellent skills and is very professional. Annie has an amazing pair of hands. I highly recommend either one. The entire place is very clean and well maintained. The receptionist and the rest of the staff always make you feel welcome.

We were able to make an appointment an hour before, very short notice. The staff was friendly and I loved the room, even though they’re only separated with a sheet they are dark and relaxing. 40 $ for an hour, can’t beat it for that price!

This place is the best Thai massage place I ve ever tried!!!~~ They’re professional and very nice. Andddddddddddd the very important part is, they really did a good job, not just put some oil on you and then rub your body, seriously, there’re so many place just do this though, Lol~ the old lady here, she stretched my body and give me some advices for relaxing~~My boyfriend and I went to a lot of massage place before but I would say, I will definitely come back here again. Definitely worth 40 bucks for one hour ~~

Early bird special only 35 $ Mon-​Thursday 9am-​2pm cash only. Very clean and quiet love it.

Very good for the price. They ask how much pressure and really work you out from head to toe n everywhere in between!!! You def need to be secure and comfortable with being touched by hands and feet cuz they rub every nook and cranny!!! She really helped release a lot of my knots and you could tell she knew what she was doing because she focused on my problem areas without me telling her where they were. The back walking was a bit intense at sometimes because of the pressure on my stomach, but she could even tell that and asked if I was OK. I lied of course, and said I was fine, lol no pain no gain!!! I’ll be back in two weeks and I think I’ll upgrade to $ 60 for 1.5 hour (hey big spender lol). It feels great to have some of the tension out of my shoulders. Only con were the noises some of the men made in the adjacent rooms. They sounded like creepers and were messing up my chi.

This is my go to place. The therapist here are great. They kick your ass for sure. But you feel 100x better later. Tuesday– thursday its $ 35 for 1 hr. Worth it hands down.

The best Thai massage I’ve ever had. I made reservations for my brother and I for 60 minute massages on a Saturday afternoon. Right when we walked in the ladies were very nice and asked how much pressure we wanted and if there were any specific areas we’d like them to focus on. I’m always stressed so I said my back and shoulders.
The ladies took us to the massage rooms (which are not actually rooms, it is broken up with sheets). Not an all frills massage parlor but once you get a massage you won’t want to go anywhere else. The place is dark and soothing, very relaxed vibe. I disrobed and got under the sheet and my masseuse got down to business. She really worked those knots out of my back and shoulders. It was pleasure pain!!! The finale was when she decided to walk on my back, man! This lady knew what she was doing. After all the stretching, massaging, and relaxing, I walked out of there with less stress in my back. This was the third time I’ve been to Thai Classic Massage.
I really recommend trying it out, best Thai Massage everrrrr! Oh! just a little FYI, it’s cash only, the parking is kinda sucky because it’s in a tiny strip mall near Vine and Melrose. And don’t go there expecting sexual favors, that is so disgusting and they are very nice people and a legit business.

I am a big fan of any type of massage and it just happened I visited this place since it’s only 5 minutes from my place. I did not expect anything at first due to its cheap look of the store and location, but sooner I noticed well trained massage skills and touch. I have visited this place three times with all different massagers and was very satisfied with their cares.

Came here on a Thursday night for a deep tissue massage.
Let me just start here by saying that the staff was really really nice, both the young woman at the front counter and my masseuse. In fact, my masseuse was so nice and sweet that I feel guilty not giving a higher review. That being said, here’s the details:
What I liked:
1. Friendly staff
2. They have the music down pat; very zen-​like and at the right volume.
3. The massage oils, and hence the place, smell great. Very soothing.
4. Clean
5. Good price ($ 40/​hr)
6. Comfortable tables
What I didn’t care for:
1. My massage was only okay. Disappointing for a deep tissue. It was more applied slow pressure than kneading. I’m needing kneading, ya know?
2. Not strong hands
3. I didn’t really want to be walked on for a deep tissue, but they did it anyway.
4. My masseuse, as totally sweet as she was, seemed a little too tentative
5. Tiny rooms with only curtain separations (I expected this bc of so e of the other Unilocal reviews)
6. The guy snoring in the next stall over
7. They give you little shorts to wear. I realize that is a preference thing, but I personally can’t stand them. Makes me feel like I’m wearing someone else’s old underwear. I’d rather have a towel or nuthin’ at all before the shorties!
So overall, I had a relaxing time but not a therapeutic time. Did I mention that they are very nice?
3 stars.

Called and asked if they had any appointments available and was told yes they had 2 available. so I show up 4 minutes later and all of a sudden the second one was busy and I had to wait for 20 minutes. Not cool to just try to get me here and take my money.

Like any massage place that offers multiple massage therapists, the quality of your massage depends on the person working on you. You’re gonna have to roll the dice on your first few visits till you find someone that you like but when you do, stick with them. Reading other Unilocal reviews is a good way to find someone others have liked but it all comes down to what YOU like. I’ve been here twice, had different massage therapists (male & female) each time and both times I enjoyed it. The first was noticeably better than the second but both were still good. Each time I left feeling like a champ. Each took notice of how my body was responding and focused on areas needing of attention. The first hour was massage and the last 20 minutes or so was stretching.
$ 60 for 90 minutes is without a doubt cheapest 90 minute full body massage I’ve ever had. The one not-​so-​desirable aspect about this place is that there are no separate rooms. It’s one big open space separated into smaller «rooms» with curtains that extend floor to ceiling. These «rooms» are only about 5 – 6 feet wide so it’s likely that there will be someone a few feet away. However, for the price you pay don’t expect a private massage room. Walking into your «room» it’ll take your eyes a moment to adjust to the darkness. For men they give you a set of boxer shorts that they’ve cut up the side all the way up to the waist band. Kinda weird but it’s gives them access to your butt muscles.
I’m a fan. If you’ve never had a Thai Massage just know that they’re a bit more intimate than a Swedish or deep tissue. They’re literally gonna walk all over you and twist your naked body into all kinda weird positions so it’s likely your junk will get exposed at some point but it’s worth it. Quit being a punk and try one.

I just had a really great massage here. They aren’t super strict on time, I got a 90 minute massage and it was really great. They asked me how much pressure I wanted, I said soft-​to-​medium and he complied, even going harder a few times when I asked him to on especially tense muscles. I went from being a 9 of soreness to a 2, which is a bigger jump than I was expecting.
I didn’t get the name of my masseuse, but he was really very good. I really enjoyed my experience, and for the price ($ 60!) I’m going to go back many more times, and maybe even ask them to put the squeeze more roughly!
Can’t wait to go back.

Clean and quiet and very sweet staff. Not super strict on time even if you are a few mins late to your pre booked appointment, they still give you a full hour of bodywork.
The only thing is they don’t really instruct you on what to do. They just leave you your shorts a sheet and left you guesting.
If you like a «no pain no gain» massage this is the place to go. Therapist seem to have good intuition on soar spots but no mercy on pressure. The moves and the fact that they have you undressed might leave you feeling somewhat exposed (but then I’m a female client with a female therapist, the protocol of my female friend who had a male therapist seem to have a different experience than me). Be warned — they use A LOT of oil, felt like they slipped grab more than grabbed hard.
Anyway, over all a decent massage, if you like hard pressure here is the place for you to go.
They do have a parking lot, which is a plus.
