Fu Sheng Foot Soak

I been going here for foot massage for many years. Price is cheap, use to be $ 25 then down to $ 15 now back up to $ 20 each hour. not including tips. Many first time customer don’t know that the price is so low therefore the tip should be around $ 10-​$ 15, not typically 20% like $ 3.
The people there working are mainly the same and they do a great job.
Whenever a group of my friends come visit me from the west side they all wanted to go foot massage. They do your arm, back, scalp and legs.

Even though I don’t speak Mandarin, and they are not really fluent in English, but still I have no problem to communicate with them. My friend recommended this place and took me here for the foot massage at the first time, actually you will get the full body massage which is very great. Since that time, I come this place for the massage all the way to San Gabriel from wherever I stay, every time I come to LA.

My first time here and I would say it was okay. I liked the massage and the girl I had was really good.
Though the massage was great, there were a few dealbreakers.
The workers continually talk and LOUD. My masseuse stopped massaging me to talk about my shirt with the other workers and laughing (not sure if they were saying something good or bad). Also, they charged me $ 2 just to use a debit card!!! When I gave them the tip they did not understand what I was saying. It was kind of frustrating trying to relax because of all of the talking and the tv playing !!! a massage place should be quiet sheesh!
Probably would never go back considering there are SO MANY other massage places… that I’m sure are more quiet.

This would have been a five star review except the lady working at the front just charged me $ 2 to use my credit card! I was just there two weeks ago and was charged $ 1 so what the heck just happened? I also remember the sign before said $ 1, but it looks like they changed it to say you pay credit card charges.
This is my third time here and I really like Tina. She’s one of the few females that I like but she was a little off today so the massage wasn’t as good. Maybe it was the mean lady at the front today? Maybe there’s a new management? IDK. I’ll still come back but only if I’m already in the area. $ 30 for a full body massage. The rooms in the back for the body massage is ghetto with curtains for separation and the space is really small so you can essentially see your neighbors if you were into that but I keep my eyes averted and hope no one is looking at me.

cool spot to relax at ! only thing is it gets a little loud and some of the chair are getting old and rickety. But you can’t beat that 20 and hr+ tip price! plus the masseuses do really listen to you if you ask for a light massage ect

Whoa! Haven’t been back in a few years but I used to be a 2x/​wk regular here when my masseuse was still working here. Once he left, I went somewhere else but after a friend recommended that I try this guy Rain here, I decided to book a full body. He is amazing — really understands technique and has studied Chinese medicine so he knows how everything flows and which pressure points to massage. Guess this place is going to be my new weekly spot!

Literally came here the day after my two hour workout session and I was already freaking sore!
I walked in and was greeted politely by a mandarin speaking lady. I had no clue what she was saying but I asked her if we can get a full body massage. I came here before with my mom and she talked to her about the massages. I had no clue a full body massage would require us to remove our clothes because the last time I came here, I wasn’t laying on anything. Instead, I was seated and my feet were soaked in a warm bath. On the other hand, I went on and did my «full body» massage. I don’t know who the guy was who did my massage but holy f*ck did it hurt! He used full force and super saiyan-​ed my back and shoulders! I think he realized my back and shoulders had the most tension since I was sore from my workouts but really… can you not focus more on the rest of my body? My legs, arms, and feet were never touched… kind of a downer. I didn’t want to pay so much for a half body massage when it was suppose to be a full body one. -.- I got irritated that my friend got a satisfying massage (no pun intended) and I was in the most pain. I should’ve asked for the weakest person to massage me because I couldn’t handle anymore pain than I was already in. These people were friendly as hell, and gave us chrysanthemum tea before heading out. The 4 stars is for the great service but –1 for the pain and providing me with half the massage I was expecting. I was trying so hard not to cry and I took it like a champ! Praise the lord I made it out without my legs being sore too. Now I just need some time to relax my shoulders… as i’m writing this, my arms are straight and can barely move. LOOOL

I’ve driven past Fu Sheng Foot Soak probably 100 times but I never went inside, because I’m always weary of trying new message places.
But! When a fellow Chinese Foot Message Connoisseur and Spa Adventurer, said that this was the best place between Hollywood and Covina, I jumped at the chance.
Pros; Everyone was very nice and profession, and the price was great. Cons; it was just an average foot massage and it was loud and crowded.
Overall: It’s good service for the price. I would get a foot message her if I was in the area but I wouldn’t go out of the way to get a message here.

If you’re looking for a great massage for a fraction of the cost than you found the right place!
It’s called a $ 15 hour long foot massage, but what they do is they make you soak your feet in a bucket of hot water while they massage your shoulders, neck, arms, back and your head and the last ten minutes they do your feet. Totally awesome massage! Much better than any other similar places.
This is not a place you go to listen to soothing music and breathe aromatherapy. There is a TV and people talking and sometimes phones ringing and everyone is in one big room on recliners. This a place you go to when you need an actual massage instead of all the oil/​music/​meditation junk.

Ku was my masseur (he gives you a full body and hour massage, does not even expect a tip. For only $ 15.00) He deserved his 10.00 tip. It was so relaxing I felt asleep :)
**big people friendly** they will accommodate you and not make you feel intimidated. Friendly staff, will be back again.

My brother’s girlfriend swears by this place and I was getting frustrated with how noisy Alibaba was. The first time I came here, my masseuse was a very large man who refused to go any softer as I felt myself nearly crying. I didn’t know if he didn’t hear me because he was constantly talking to the other people here, or he just didn’t care.
My brother’s girlfriend told me to ask for Jin Jin a try so I gave this place a second try. Meh. Still rough but slightly better. She’s always on her phone though!
A couple tries later and I’m hooked now! Ask for Rain when you’re having any joint or spine pains. He knows how to crack your entire back, neck, everything. But he always tells me my wrists are weak :/​If you need deep tissue, ask for Wendy or Jessica!
Ask for one of these three and it’s completely worth your $ 15 plus tip! :)

Pros: massage was actually decent and price was cheap.
Cons: not very relaxing due to the tv playing Chinese soaps and loud numerous side conversations amongst the workers. It is distracting and made it difficult to relax. Also, massage chairs are too close to one another that my wife’s hand was laying on top of mine due to the lack of space.
If you’re looking for a serene massage, this is not your place. Spend your $ 15 dollars elsewhere.

My boyfriend and I visited this place based on a coin toss.
Their technique was a little different from other foot spas, but they are quite good. The pressure was deep and always at the right spot. Both of us felt refreshed afterwards.
The only down side was the ambiance. People were constantly talking (I find very few foot spas that didn’t have this probem). It was a bit of a sensory overload when they had both music and TV on at the same time.
Otherwise, it was a good experience and would go again.

I have been going hard with the weight lifting for the past 2 months but had not been able to fit in those oh-​so necessary massages to work out the stress and knots and tightness in my heavily worked muscles. Finally, with a rare open after-​work night ahead of me, I hitched a ride out to the Far East from the Westside with the bestie, who has been telling me about this place for eons.
Rates: $ 25/​hr full body table massage. $ 15/​hr reclining chair foot massage.
The bff made my appointment for me requesting a man, requesting it hard, and that extra attention be given to my shoulders and butt. I need to go back again and find out the name of my guy last night because for one, he spoke pretty decent English and for two he did not play around and really gave my muscles the beat down they so desperately needed. Things to know: strip down to just your thong, no bra and put all of your personal items in the plastic basket under the table. Do NOT be afraid to tell them harder or softer. Be prepared to get your butt cheeks literally manhandled and your underwear will be adjusted up and down with a nifty towel trick as necessary for full access to your lower back and your ass muscles. This means back and forth butt crack flossing a couple of times and a couple inner thigh rubs may raise the question of whether or not that finger just grazed the vag or not but just relax! They are licensed professionals and if you are really that uncomfortable, ask for a female massage therapist. There were some techniques that I was just thinking «hmm ok that feels nice», and then other techniques that made me go «ohhhhhh hollllllly shit balls that feels amazing» and gave me chills, and still more techniques, specifically the pressure point squeezing in my hips, inner ankle, and forearms that had me screwing up my face in agony thinking «oh sweet mother of God what did I do to deserve this tortuous pain???» I am a glutton for punishment though and never once requested less pressure. My guy would giggle every time I made a funky face during the pressure point work and ask «pain?» lol He also did a fantabulous job of agonizingly working over the tight spot in my left hamstring that chronically gives me pain and cramping.
I walked out of there so relaxed, dragging my heels, eye lids heavy, ready to fall into a deep deep slumber. And sleep I did. I slept so hard I bailed on my regularly scheduled 6am gym date because I simply could. not. move. My body feels so good today, the day after, and I can not wait to go back next week, and the next, and the next, and the next…

I like this place way better than the other spa across the plaza on the first floor. That time I went the masseuse ended up doing one butt cheek more than the other… Creeped me out.
Today I paid $ 25 for the special: 40 minute massage and 30 minute foot soak. The massage was great! He was very kind and always checked to make sure I was okay. I am still recovering from some car accident spinal injuries so my back was pretty tight and sore but he helped alleviate that!
The foot soak was decent, nothing too special there so next time I come I may just do the entire hour of massage!

The owner speaks pretty good English and is friendly. The place is clean and the recyliners are comfortable. $ 15 for 1 hour foot massage (includes body but you’re massaged on the recyliner) or $ 25 for 1 hour table body massage.
I’ve been a regular here for years. They recently have a new massage therapist name Lisa and I recommend her.
The latest appointment you can make is at 10pm.
Parking: plenty of parking spaces in the underground garage.

I’ve heard about Fu Sheng Foot Soak for awhile because of Sue Z. I came here this weekend because one of my other friends also comes here so it was funny when I arrived to find out it was the same place I’ve been hearing about.
$ 15 for a full hour of the Chinese foot massage. There were five of us in our group and it was easy for them to accommodate us. There were more workers here than I expected. We sat in a big room with tons of chairs.
We all started off with soaking our feet in very warm water. While the feet was soaking, they start by massaging your shoulders and stretching out your arm. After, they have you lie on your stomach and they start massaging your back and legs. (Your feet are no longer soaking in the water). After some time, they have you lie on your back and they massage your feet and legs. Finally, they go and massage your scalp, arms, and wherever else they want.
If you’ve been to a Chinese foot soak /​massage type of place you’ve been to them all. I do not really see the need to drive all the way to San Gabriel from the Westside when there are plenty of the same in the Westside as well. Sure it’s $ 5 cheaper ($ 20 vs. $ 15) but the massage I received was about the same.
I do not remember the name of the gentleman who worked on me, but I do remember that he smokes because I could smell the cigarette smell off of his hands. IT was a little gross smelling the cigarette smells off of his hands while having him massaging me.
Massages here are good, but I will stick to the one on the Westside. I am willing to spend the extra $ 5.

Since when has knocking on someone’s head been considered a massage? My masseuse was loud (kept having a conversation with the other masseuse next to me), his hands were rough (moisturizer please!) and I felt like he was just randomly pushing on places on my back (I was afraid I was gonna leave with spinal damage.) I’m no stranger to these asian foot massage places, but this was by far the worse experience I’ve had. It’s safe to say that I’m never coming back.
**FYI there’s a much better foot massage place for $ 15 located on the first floor of this shopping center.

I’m not a big fan of people touching my feet. Just not my cup of tea. Sorry ladies, that means no feet or toe massages from me nor will I ask for any of that in return. I will however drop you off at a foot massage place in the 626.
Anyway, we had some guests from out of town and they were out all day: hiking, snapping pictures, and being tourists. We wanted to give them a simple yet relaxing treat. Note, there’s a billion foot massage places especially in this area.
$ 15 for one hour!!! You can’t beat that. If this was an hour long foot massage at the Encore hotel in Vegas, then it would easily be $ 115. When you first walk in, you can’t stop to think of the scene from Rush Hour when Jackie and Chris go looking for the Triad Boss in the massage parlor (minus the buffet of girls). Big comfortable chairs that recline, steamy barrels of hot water to soak your feet, a big flat screen tv, low lighting, and cheesy décor. There’s some soothing AzN jams playing on the background. Don’t mind all the other distracting noises going on. Take an ipod, ear plugs, or just tune it out.
For one hour, you get more than a foot massage. They work your neck, shoulders, back, head (the one connected to your neck perv), thighs, hands/​fingers, and even buttox. The latter part of the entire deal concentrates on everything from the knees downward.
So who cares that they can’t speak much EngRRish. If they understand «softer» or «harder» or maybe even «That hurts!» then it’s all good. I felt bad for the little AzN lady who was working on me because she had to tell me to «relax» a few times. I’m not a big fan of people touching me so I automatically tense up.
Although slightly nervous because it was my first time (everyone in my group kept looking at me and giggling) and they all know how I feel about random people touching me and my feet, I’m still giving it 4 stars because it served its purpose. I felt relaxed and rejuvenized afterwards. A little sore but it wasn’t bad. That little AzN lady was pretty darn strong, don’t let the looks and size deceive you.
Make sure you tip them. I think $ 5 is the minimum but I gave my masseuse $ 10 for putting up with me. Get the stamp card on your way out; after the 10^th time, the next one is free! Also, you can ask for a male or female masseuse. You can also request a private room if you’d like but generally you’ll be sitting next to strangers.

This is my 500^th review. At first, I wanted to do something spectacular, but after last night’s «full body massage» I knew that this was the perfect review.
I have been here many times in the past, but I realized I have never reviewed Foot Soak before. Well, when you first enter in, it’s the typical tacky Chinese people décor– lace drapes with colorful Christmas lights, rows of recliners that are covered with white towels and accented with auspicious Chinese red pillows. If I had a grandma around, I would assume her house would look like this.
Well, I have had many «technicians» throughout the years. The guys hands usually smell like smoke, the women usually are chatty and making fun of the non Chinese clients that come in. I usually get this technician named Tracy that always eyes me like a piece of meat when I come in. I always shudder… only because she’s weak and it feels like I am throwing my $ 15 away on a massage. Reluctant to get a foot massage, I realize Tracy was bringing me my hot water soak and I was thinking. OK no… not TRACY. Well yesterday, I decided to venture into what has only been a myth for me… yes folks, THE FULL BODY MASSAGE in the dark back room.
Now I have heard many horror stories, but I decided to just experience it for myself. Here is a time line of my events.
10pm– enter in the secret room, where I am instructed in Chinese to take off all of my clothes except underwear, and that I will be getting a female technician. BTW, the lady called me «pretty boy». That made my night. She then proceeds to rip a paper towel and tells me to lay on the paper towel. Classy.
10:05pm– I am in my boxers cold and waiting for my female technician to arrive.
10:06pm– A 5 – 8 Chinese amazon enters the room and asks if I want a softer or more intense massage.
10:07pm– I choose the intense one. Go big or go home, right?
10:08pm– She starts rubbing me bareback, with her sweaty hands and giving me what I call the rug burn portion of the massage. I have never met a lady with such freakishly strong forearms. This goes on for about 20 minutes.
10:30pm– I get punched and elbowed in the kidneys
10:31pm– She takes half of my boxers off and begins the ass massage.
10:32pm– Technician is out of breath, and starts scratching her scalp. Delicious. This is totally sanitary.
10:33pm– Technician starts the «oil» portion of the massage, it smelled like Mazola Vegetable Oil.
10:45pm– My underwear suddenly is rolled up higher and higher as if I was wearing a woman’s thong. Amazon starts to chat with the other technicians about how tired she is and that the fat white guy she had prior to me had smelly feet. Delicious.
10:46pm– Reprise of the kidney punches and very unorthodox moves begin, as in straddling on top of me and doing what I call a scissor kick move to my calves (imagine a girl having a temper tantrum with her legs on top of mine).
10:47pm– I am dying in pain from how crazy strong she is.
10:48pm– Man #2 comes in after me saying in Chinese to his technician «NI ZAO DAO LE! NI ZAO DAO LE! JIU SHI ZHE LI» *subtitles — Oh that’s the spot, you found it! HARDER! HARDER! It’s super sore“
10:49pm– I start giggling like a little girl.
10:50pm– Hot towels to wipe me down.
11pm– «All Done» I pay my $ 35 and leave feeling a bit violated and a great story to tell my friends.
Overall… I honestly felt like i was violated in a strange way.
Report Card Time–
B+ for creativity with massage techniques
A for the price and an awesome story
D– for relaxation. I was in pain for 95% of the time, or afraid I was going to get raped.
Thanks for reading.
