ZUYUAN FOOT SPA

While some of the men who give massages there can be hit and miss, Chen’s massages are great every single time, and the prices are as good or better than any spa in the area

I've going here for over two years and they have been consistently amazing! I have family members who are massage therapists, and these massages are some of the best I've gotten. They know what areas to work on and apply a good amount of pressure so you actually feel tension release. 10/10 recommend. Leave a good tip as they put in energy and make an effort to give quality massages.

This review is specifically for their location at 37-12 Ditmars in Astoria Queens. It depends on who you get, here, as anywhere, but some people should not be working here. I have always had a decent foot massage here, except for the last time. It will definitely be the last time. I didn't get the person's name, but he was a very tall, big guy with a fade undercut. His techniques were repetitive and boring, very ineffective. It only got worse when he grabbed a stick and started reaming my foot as hard as he could. I indicated it was too extreme, but he didn't understand. I was a licensed massage therapist for over twenty years, so I am an excellent judge of poor technique and unnecessary force. This guy just did not have a clue. He could cause some damage. I wonder if he is even licensed.

This place gave me one of the best massages I have ever had. I had a young man but the name of Peter as my masseuse. He gave me a very firm pressure full body massage (I got the 30 minute back rub option) I was very pleased with the time he spent and the detail of my massage. He stretched all of my muscles, used pressure point techniques and got rid of pain and tension I wasn't even aware that I had at first. Like I said the pressure is firm which is the only way I enjoy the massage but if you want a lighter pressure let them know before hand.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Came here with my girlfriend last week for a foot and leg massage. The masseuse clearly was not sanitary and didn't wash his hands prior to the massage because right after I went, I quickly developed folliculitis on my leg hairs and now have rashes covering both legs. Now I have to see a dermatologist who specifically told me this is common from massage parlors that are unsanitary and don't take care in proper hygiene. AVOID! Unfortunately I do not remember the name of my masseuse, but I just would never come back. The prices were cheap for a reason. Honestly I deserve a full refund and payment for the treatments that I need for this now. Disgusted.
