Sunshine Best Body Work

Had my first massage here and will return, thanks to a delightful massage, friendly staff, and competitive prices. The interior walls are sheets, so as long as the other guests are quiet and you aren’t especially concerned with privacy, this place has all that you need.

They don’t have private rooms. 5 beds available and are sectioned by dressing shades & curtains. Relatively quiet however you’ll occasionally hear patrons walking in & out since the place is small & the lady at the desk collecting money for the service. Other than that, the massage is great and you’ll get a it of hot stone massage at the end to help soothe the massage. Male or female masseuse available. Make an appt, it’s always busy. However, they do take walk-​ins but you’ll have to wait.
15 mins $ 18
30 mins $ 35
45 mins $ 45
60 mins $ 55
90 mins $ 80
30 min foot reflexology $ 35

Just finished a 30 min massage. I’ve had plenty of massage all over the world and appreciate firm pressure, but I’m pretty sure I would’ve been more relaxed if I’d been beaten with a baseball bat for 30 min. Despite my asking twice for less pressure and squirming in pain throughout the massage, the masseuse was unable to adapt his pressure or style. The only relaxing part of the entire experience was when it as over.

This is a no frills, authentic, excellent massage place. It’s pretty small inside but calm and relaxing. I got a massage for my fiancé here. The lady in front is helpful and friendly and their scheduling is very accommodating. It’s pretty tight and the spaces are only divided by those wood and paper divider things. My fiancé loved his massage. It was deep tissue and he said it did hurt but in a good way. I read the other reviews that they do it pretty hard here so if you want a more relaxing massage do not get it here. My fiancé said they guy got into his back and muscles where he didn’t think he could dig in. He felt totally relaxed and loose after the massage and will be going every other week there. This is definitely a gem in the neighborhood. It’s cheap, straight forward and they do an excellent job! I highly recommend!!!

If you are looking for a top of the line fancy spa massage this is not for you. If you want one of the best and affordable massages with no frills — this is for you.
I was able to walk in and get an hour massage and only had a wait a few minutes. Each room is divided up basically by curtains so you can hear who’s coming in and out the door and white noise made up of all the other patrons. But overall, I was able to tune everything out and just hear the nice background music. It’s actually impressive how many people are there at once and how chill and quiet the place is.
The massage was simply awesome. She worked every part of my body with the right pressure, stretching and hot stones. I felt comfortable the whole time and totally relaxed. Everyone who works there is very professional and very nice
I would suggest making an appointments because this place seems to be busy all the time. And rightfully so.

Anna (my massus), I am considering marrying her for her amazing hands. This place is very tranquil and awesome and reasonably priced! Sincerely recommended in my book.

First let me say, this may not be for everyone. The entire operation consists of one room divided by curtains to give privacy. I could hear an occasional customer come or go from the front door, but it was never a distraction and the atmosphere was uninterrupted. I walked in on a Saturday afternoon without an appointment and was accommodated immediately. The massage itself was very firm, almost painful, but in a good way that my muscles really needed as someone who carries a lot of stress in my neck/​shoulders. Also when I requested my masseuse use less pressure he immediately adjusted to he perfect amount. The hour-​long massage included my entire body with concentration in areas where I specified beforehand, as well as hot stones towards the end which felt amazing. The massage table, sheets, and area were clean, the staff was professional and courteous, and I felt as though my massage lasted for days after.
It’s very different from a spa experience, and even the massage itself was not your typical Swedish massage. There was some light stretching and pulling, long massage strokes, and firm kneading on key pressure points. I’m really pleased with the experience. If you want an aromatic 60-​minutes with soft music in the background this may not be for you. If you want a massage that heals tension and stimulates sore muscles in a lasting way this is a great place to try.

I researched reflexology locations in Brooklyn and was very exited to try this place out. I drove all the way from South Brooklyn (Bergen Beach area).
I initially wanted a reflexology foot massage for 30 minutes but the workers seemed nice, so I decided to throw in an additional 30 minutes of Tui Na.
The reflexology was amazing and I couldn’t keep myself from falling asleep. However, Tui Na was rather painful and I didn’t enjoy it. While laying on the table I had my mind made up that I would visit Sunshine at least once per month for a one hour reflexology. However, that ALL changed while settling my bill.
Unfortunately, the girl who gave me the massage informed me that a 20% tip was mandatory. My final bill was $ 55… I was paying with a debit card so that was increased to $ 57. I was fine with that. I told her that I had some cash on me and would leave the tip in cash. I took out $ 6 and she pointed to my debit receipt and said that the tip had to be the amount printed (which was $ 8). The two extra bucks wasn’t gonna kill me so I gave it to her… But I thought that insisting on 20% was rude. It really put a bad taste in my mouth and I won’t be returning.
It’s really too bad because they could have made much more money over time by simply allowing me to leave the tip amount that I thought was fair.
Buyer beware!

DAMN. Leo gave me one amazing massage tonight! Probably the best Tui-​Na massage I’ve ever had. Very thorough, and just the right amount of pressure. He even massaged my jaw, which was surprisingly tense. The place is not fancy, but it’s clean and the staff is nice, and the prices are good. Very, very happy with my experience!

Massage was not too bad but the place is very dirty. Will not go back there again. The lady did not ask if I had any concerns or areas she should go easy on, did not ask if I wanted massage light, medium or hard. The workers kept on talking and laughing while performing massage. Very unprofessional.

Worst massage ever. I’ve had massages in chic upscale hotels, cruise shipa, Chinatown Manhattan and Brooklyn, Park Slope, Williamsburg, in other countries but these people have NO skills. Avoid. You do better having a V8.

I have took my husband to a million spas for deep tissue massage and he always comes back saying it was not hard enough. oh well it took me years but finally find a place that really knows how to go deep lol. My husband said he loves it and said he was thinking that he almost cry of how deep it was. I also got a massage and told the lady not to hard and it was perfect. The best thing is the price very affordable. This place is not a relaxation spa very simple little room, but they do a great job

Absolute best deep tissue massage I’ve ever had and she even ended it with a hot stone stint. So. Very. Happy.

Alright. Can I give an AMEN to the lady who gave me the best foot massage I’ve had in NYC. I walked in on a Saturday looking for a 15-​min fix for my achy soles. The place is nestled in the corner on Park Place. This is definitely a no-​frills place … that still tries to make you feel comfortable (which I appreciate).
She showed no mercy but also checked in my comfortable level every so often. Not an inch of foot flesh was left untouched. THANK YOU.

I get massages every two weeks or so so I’ve become an expert on the tui na spots throughout the city since they tend to be the cheapest. I went to this place yesterday because I didn’t feel like going into Chinatown and had Jeffrey as my masseuse. The man is seriously gifted. It’s real Tui Na, not swedish so he finds tense spots and leans into them with an intense but not too intense amount of pressure and was good about asking if it was too much or too little. There was barely any oil used since he wasn’t really doing long strokes. This massage was serious release and pain relief and he Jeffrey was really intuitive on finding where he needed to work. I’ve had some really expensive massages and this $ 55 massage kicked all of their butts. Highly recommended!
They ask for cash for the 5% Unilocal discount but you can pay and tip on a credit card if you like. Please tip these hardworking people well!

Really like this place. It’s the first place I went to reward my tired feet after hundreds of miles of walking (I own a dogwalking business). I wanted to cry, my feet felt so good after such a beating! I resolved to come weekly, I deserved it.
At some point I started trying out a range of different places in Chinatown. Some had a great masseuse, but weird buzzing sounds and bright pink blinking lights, the neon signs out of control and distracting.
Others had a frankly lazy and distracted masseuse or two, who’d get into chit-​chat and stop massaging my feet every time they talked, so I’d get more like a 15 minute massage in a half hour, and get really distracted… it would totally ruin the flow of the relaxation process.
Then there were the places with the bad music on a loop.
Others were just, eh, ok — didn’t listen to me at all when I told them I wanted a hard foot massage. I felt like I could give my own feet a better massage… This was about healing my working bones!
One time I thought I finally found the place of my dreams, a good hard foot massage… and then I saw this poor teenage boy come from the back room to meet a man in the waiting room who took him away. It was clear what kind of business I had just supported. Obviously, never again.
Sunshine is none of that! What is it:
Nice fresh sheets and clean-​smelling towels. Comfortable massage tables. No neon lights buzzing. Relaxing, perfectly fine music. A female boss, which often is something that is a plus in my book… as I’m a female boss too. Respectful workers who listen when you ask them to avoid injured areas or to press harder elsewhere.

Whoa. This is my new spot, I’ve been twice and each time was seriously amazing. Like, perfect. Makes me feel like I’m on vacation on the other side of the earth where massage is inexpensive and ridiculously good. Not sure about the others, but Ill keep going back to «my» masseuse over and over again! I sent my hubby and he’s hooked too. I mean come on, they even throw in some hot rocks for the 55 $ price… how sweet is that?
No frills as far as the space, but who cares… just be courteous to others and keep greetings/​requests to a quiet minimum. I’ve never experienced any fishing for tips, but I routinely leave $ 15+ and you should too. We’ll tip a server 20% to carry us a sandwich… we should tip someone who spends an exhausting hour rubbing us down with oils and creams at least that much, especially when it’s this fin wonderful! Go. Enjoy.

This place is a decent place to go for a (painful) deep tissue massage. The masseuse did a good enough job, and the environment was relaxing enough (although their office is in the same room you are getting a a massage in and the phone ringing can be distracting.
The only real complaints I have are that
1) the masseuse didn’t massage my whole body by the end of one hour and said I would need to purchase an additional 30 minutes to cover everything. That was annoying, but I went for it anyways.
2) I gave a good tip but was pressured to give more.
Its an overall okay place and close to my apartment, but I don’t think I will go back…

Owwwwwwww! I have had tui na sessions for over 20 years. I went to Sunshine based on the reviews. I’m pretty sure that I am headed to 8 weeks of physical therapy. My masseuse seemed to concentrate on bone rather than muscle. Yeah, I was pretty tight so maybe she couldn’t tell the difference. Not. The session was excruciating, not in the good way. The open door was about 8 feet from my bare butt on a 50 degree day.
I was in serious pain for 2 days. Couldn’t go to the gym for a week. And now have developed what feels suspiciously like a pinched nerve in my spine. Hard to walk upright more than 10′. There has GOT to be a better tui na experience in Brooklyn. Stay away! The 1 star is because I can’t post negative stars.

I just went here for the first time after reading so many great reviews. This is not your typical massage place. Very low key, tiny curtained off rooms and no frills. You can hear the people in the next «room,» the numerous cell phones that people forgot to turn off, the credit card machine and even some noise from outside. The music is very low so you may want headphones or earplugs if you’re bothered by it. The massage was very good. Out of my 60 min, 55 was pure pain. I felt like I went through the meat grinder, but it was worth it.
After I walked out of my «room» I accidentally walked into someone else’s curtain. Be aware that may happen to you in you’re in one of the back 2 rooms. They face each other and you have to leave through corner.
I used the 5% Unilocal coupon which saved me about $ 3.75 in a 60 min massage. You have to use cash if you want the discount. After paying, I have my girl the $ 5 cash I had left in my wallet for a tip. She gave it back to me and asked for 20%. I was really surprised but decided to hand over my credit card for a $ 10 tip. If she didn’t refuse my $ 5 cash tip, I would have rated 5 stars.
