Beautiful YaYa

It’s definitely reasonably priced but be forewarned that they expect a 22-25% tip on top of the service, especially if it’s a 90 minute massage. My masseuse asked me for more when I originally paid her $18 (20%) for the $88 massage; I was pretty taken aback, because I thought tip was based on above and beyond service and discretionary. However, totally understand that small businesses and holes in the wall may be struggling right now. It was a good massage, not great but good enough for the price at $108 incl. tip for 90 min. So a 60 min massage should cost about $80.

It was a fine massage; I appreciated the warm packets they put on the butt and lower tummy to keep you warm. However, they do, at the end, try to surcharge a lot for the tip. I didn’t ask for hot stone, but the masseuse gave it during my session. I was a bit confused until I realized she did it to guilt trip me into paying more tip. I was going to give 20%, but ended up paying 25% and felt pressured to do more. I’m not too upset because the massage itself was fine, but that part of the experience made me uncomfortable.

The massage was okay, and I gave her a $25 tip, but she asked for more and that really turned me off. I thought $25 was generous. Especially for a mediocre massage in an ugly room. I used to come here, but wont ever again. Should have just kept me as a repeat customer.

I booked an appointment here, knowing that I only had one hour before I needed to get to the Oakland ferry station. It was a very good massage! I lived in Shanghai for three years, and this was as good if not better than what I had in Shanghai. I highly recommend trying a foot massage here.

Best foot massage ever, $20- 40 minutes can’t beat it.
