Golden Stone Bodywork

I’ve been to at least 10 Chinese massage places in NYC and today’s experience was really great. Like 99% of chinese parlors, you wouldn’t come here for the décor or spa-​like pampering. This is about getting in and out with a deep, intense working of muscle and joints. On that they delivered, and then some. I went twice today due to severe pain in my neck. The first round was 30 minutes, and she did a great job, adjusting pressure to exactly the level I wanted it. Hours later I was still feeling the pain, and realized that I should have done an hour, so I went back for a second 20 minute session. This time a younger woman who spoke some English greeted me. She explained to the masseuse exactly what I needed, but then did something unprecedented. She stayed in the room and massaged me simultaneously with the other woman. All along the two were clearly discussing my predicament, tight spots, and strategizing. They worked together in close proximity to one another, working the same area, where I had asked them to focus. I’ve had massages all over asia, and never have two people worked on me at once. It was clear that their focus was 150% on my satisfaction. There was no mention of paying extra, or tipping more. And at no point in either session did they try and upsell me on adding more time — typical in other establishments. Highly recommend.

Great place for super affordable massage.
Great foot massage got them almost weekly in my last couple months of pregnancy with my 2^nd, with super bloating and giant feet I don’t know how I would’ve walked without them. Lin and Larry are great for a full body massage.

My highest Recommendation for Golden Stone.
Great prices, great service.
They give a great massage in a peaceful environment.
Well worth it.

I would have given it a 6 star if there is the option!
I lOVED IT! I recently move to the neighborhood and I’ve been trying out different places around the block. this is a hidden Gem! it’s quite easy to miss because it’s tucked behind a deli and between a clothing store on 7^th street. I saw their sandwich board on the corner the other day and walked in, the masseuse is super friendly and she was so good!!! I had a bad neck pain for a month now and it’s just getting super tight that I can’t work with out constantly cracking/​stretching my neck, then only after 40minutes my pain was gone, and I felt so relaxed! the hot stone at the end was simply amazing too! perfect for a gold winter day!
will def return!

Boring and Blah. This place never attacked my joints.

I purchased 2 gift certificates for my mom and dad at G.S.BW (at different times) and they’re both raving about their massages. The masseurs are both licensed, which is becoming alarmingly rare these days, especially when one is looking for a good massage without breaking the bank. Apparently, for first time clientele, you get 50-​min of massage and 10-​min of hot stone for the same $ 55. I liked that I could walk-​in & pay by credit card, though I wasn’t a total fan of being charged a small fee — whatevs. The establishment is small and the door does slam from people who aren’t used to the surprising heaviness, but it didn’t seem to disturb the clients or my parents. The two women are so sweet and reportedly the talk of the town. I’d give it 5-​stars but I haven’t gotten the massage for myself yet. I’ll update when I do.

Very lovely, Great deal, affordable prices. Hot stone fell really great. I got foot massage too just wonderful.

I called to reserve a 6:30 spot but when I arrived the woman told me to come back in a half hr — mmm, okay fine.
The rooms are private but it sometimes gets a bit noisy. The massage itself was just, well not good. She almost never used her hands, all elbows and forarms, it was strange and not enjoyable. The massge is 57.00/hr.
I will not be returning.

Great deal. Very cheap as far as massages go and got a deal for free hot stone treatment as well. My masseuse paused for a moment to take a phone call (Big no no!), but given the price and the quality of massage received, I didn’t mind so much. At least she apologized for the interruption. For a cheap massage, I’d definitely go back.

Got a spontaneous 15 minute foot reflexology and I was very very pleased. Really relaxing and the ladies were nice.

If you are a skinny person. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. They really go in on their massages. Something like what a big guy/​girl would like. Not very relaxing either. no such thing as heated tables from a previous review… and they tackle you for $ 10 tip at the end.

This was a nice full body massage session, however they did a lot of swedisgh massage (with oil), even though i wanted deep tissue massage (assuming, it’s only with a sheet on). to my suprise, they also brought in hot stones just for a moment, so that was nice. massage pressure was precise and focused on the right spots. im a fan of stronger deep tissue massage, but this was pretty good for general muscle tension relief.

It really is as good as it gets for spending $ 55/​hr on a head to toe massage including few minutes of hot stone action. You are suppose to tell them before they start on which areas you want more attention on. I specifically said my feet hurt so maybe that’s why I got a foot massage too. Hot stone felt really great and I believe you can have it for a longer duration if you ask for it. The masseuse I had was Lili. She was skilled and knew how to tackle your trouble spots. I’ve always had shoulder and back problems so I’m always seeking for professional relief. I have tried so many different places costing from $ 40/​hr to $ 180/​hr and none of them measured up to her. You really have to be careful w/​where you go. Inexperienced masseuses can send you home with more pain than gain.
Golden Stone is very inexpensive considering the great service you are getting. Of course the décor is minimal but that didn’t bother me. The rooms are divided by screens but at least it was dark inside and the masseuses tried to whisper when they talked. I was there in the morning so I was the only guest for half of the time until a guy came in. You would hear the noises but neither the guest nor the masseuses were chatty so it was okay. The place is very clean nonetheless. I plan on become a regular customer. I’m really happy to finally found a place that’s friendly to my body and to my wallet.

If you need to relieve sore muscles and don’t want a lot of fuss, Golden Stone Bodywork is the way to go. The therapists are very friendly and super talented. The facilities are modest, but clean and comfortable. And the tables are heated! I will certainly return for another treatment.

I saw all the great reviews on Unilocal and decided to give this place a try… The place is small but very clean. The staff were very friendly and the massage was great. She was able to get the knots out of my shoulder and the hot stones were just the icing on the cake. I had an hour massge $ 55 (57.40 because I paid with a credit card). It was well worth the visit, I have paid much more at high end spas and had a mediocre experience.
I will go back next month, maybe I will try the accupuncture.

First time I came, I thought I was in for a traditional Tui Na massage, but got that with the added awesomeness that is hot stone.
For an hour long treatment, they work on your aches and knots traditionally for about half that time, and then bump up the volume with almost-​scalding hot stones… true bliss. If you’ve never tried one before, this is a great entry-​level way to go.
The prices here are a little better than usual ($ 55ish for an hour), but with the one downside that they don’t include any sort of a foot rub in the full-​body massage. You have to tack on an extra ~$ 15 to get the reflexology added on.
I’ve been back once more and both therapists were attentive and had the hands of angels. The facilities are clean, comfortable, and the tables are heated! Yum.
