Chun Hong Tui Na Back Foot Rub

This was a great idea. In town for a little vacation I researched foot massage places on Unilocal and found this gem. Stopped in middle of the day on Friday and it was dead. I had a woman named Susan (I hope I remembered that correctly!) who was fabulous. I asked for 20 mins foot and calves only. As soon as she started I wished I asked for 30 mins but decided to stick with the 20 because I had a lot to do. Go ask for Susan and treat yourself. Super affordable and well well worth it.

I’ve been going here for years, it’s the only place for me in the city., being a world traveler and always on the move, this is perfect for walk ins. Simple good service with no hassle.

No Frills, cheap and a great job. Can’t really say anymore.

Amazing! Best money I’ve spent since being in NYC this weekend. Not much privacy but the girls are so good at what they do I didn’t care. Will come back every chance I get!

Very good massage. Shared roodm and bathroom is at the end of the big massage room but massage is good. Clean towels. I will come back!

Really enjoyed my massage! I didn’t mind that the room was shared. The technique was great and the price was great. I would definitely go back.

Great body work & reflexology foot massage. Clean. No frills. I’m a fan and will be back soon!

Love this place! It is definitely no-​frills but I come here on a semi-​regular basis to undo the damage done both by sitting at work and any tension from the gym.
I have had several different practitioners while there and I like pretty much all! Definitely each has his/​her own technique so it depends on what mood I’m in. Highly recommended if you aren’t in the mood to fully splurge but need to unwind!

Summary: Cheap, no frills, open room. They will hold up a towel, if you want a massage sans clothing.
Pricing: $ 28 30 min, $ 52 for 60 min. Foot reflexology — $ 20 20min, $ 38 for 40 minutes
Typical Chinese hole in the wall massage place. As long as there is a free bed, they will accept walk in’s. Towels were not bad. Overall, it relaxed me right on out, so I have no complaints.

Ask for Ann. The best foot massage, OMG! Sooooo gooood. She gives a great back massage too. I walked in around 9 pm, had a 30 min. back rub and 20 min. foot massage for $ 50… I slept like a baby that night.

Bronwyn’s review is spot on.
My upper back and left shoulder was in pain for most of the day. Chun Hong Tui Na is only a few blocks from my office so I stopped in for a 1 hour massage to hopefully get rid of the awful knots. I left feeling amazing and I still feel great the day after.
My masseuse, Lisa, was incredibly sweet. There was little verbal communication but we didn’t have any issues understanding each other through gestures and short phrases to each other. She wasn’t pushy about add-​on services and offered water after my massage.
The space is small and there are no curtains dividing each client. You don’t notice though. The room is dimly lit and soft music is playing. The only time I heard voices was when a new client came in and was directed to a table. Otherwise, it was like I was the only client in the room.

Very good massage with a very NYC experience. You share the room with others but I always enjoy this place. It’s inexpensive and a great, quick option.

Having just recovered from a bad cold and ear infection, I felt like my body’s all out of whack from all the antibiotics and other medications I’ve been taking. Before meeting up with some friends in the area, I decided to stop in for a reflexology session. I only had time for a 30-​minute session, but usually 30 – 45 minutes is enough for them to get all the points on the feet.
All the massage tables are set up in a long, dark room. I think I counted about a dozen tables. For $ 30, I didn’t care where they put me as long as they could help fix me up. As soon as the massage therapist started working on my heels and up, I knew this was the real deal. Halfway through my left foot, I heard a couple of people enter in the front and one of them asked for a therapist by name, «Harry.» I started thinking, «Please don’t let that be my guy! Please don’t let that be my guy!» He was doing such a good job, I was feeling better already. Two minutes later, even though they tried to make it seamless, a second guy whispered to my guy and then switched places.
The second guy clearly knew what he was doing, but his strokes weren’t as strong as «Harry’s.» He also used a chopstick to hit the points instead of his finger, like «Harry» did. Damn it, I wanted «Harry» back! In the end, he also worked on my lower legs briefly. Even though «Harry» was taken from me, I still left very satisfied.
A lot of spas, nail salons, and massage places advertise and list reflexology as a service but you get nothing more than a foot rub. Here you get reflexology AND a foot rub.

For a cheap massage with no frills, this is a great choice! I was horrendously tense and felt significantly better after my hour visit. They did exactly what I asked; strong pressure and concentrating on the parts which were the most sore. Their English is extremely limited, but it didn’t bother me because they were very sweet and tried to understand. The only thing that really was tough was how cold it was inside. Thankfully they put a lot of thick towels over me or I would have been freezing. I’m sure in Spring/​Summer/​Fall it’s better. I’ll be back!

I love massages. With a messed up lower back, I would say that I NEED massages. Being a little picky, I like my back rubs strong, but consistent. I don’t want to feel like a piece of steak being pulverized. The hands have to have some padding to them (bony doesn’t cut it). This place met all my demands. Harry, the masseuse, was friendly and catered to the pressure I wanted. I felt so relaxed after my massage and slept like a baby when I got home. I tipped big because for the first time in years, I felt lighter. And being the last client, the fact that I was able to still receive a strong massage made me appreciate the effort that was put into it. It was so good that I went back the next day for reflexology. The reflexology was amazing. Perhaps the best I’ve ever had (even better than the one I had in Beijing).
I wouldn’t say that the service is ‘desperately’ friendly. And besides, when did that become a problem anyway? Because you’re in a dark room with other clients, conversation is limited. But some of the people who work there are trying to send money back to their families in China. They don’t have the greatest command of the English language, have no family in the US, work from 11−10pm, and have one day off a week. Maybe that could come off as desperate, but the only reason I know this was because I spoke to them in Mandarin and their life stories certainly doesn’t translate in their ‘work’, which should be all that matters.

After being ridiculously stressed and feeling my body get all knotted — I found this placed tucked away on Sullivan Street. Figured I would give it a shot — went in on a Saturday afternoon and surprisingly it had a steady clientele. There are probably few reviews because they don’t want it to become crowded and here is why:
Its a SMALL place — one area behind the main reception area where there is no room for you to get undressed separately/​privately and everyone gets massages together in the darkness. So off into your deep massage you hear another person groan and time buzzers go off. The hands of my masseuse was firm and strong and persistent in getting the kinks out. The $ 52 hour massage passed by before I could believe it.
Overall its a no-​frills place but for the price and the strength of the massage — it was worth it.

You are in heaven and in a deep sleep after getting a massage at Chun Hong Tui Na Back Foot Rub. After a day of shopping and walking the streets of New York, this is just what the body ordered. They give the best reflexology I have ever received in my life. Be sure to tell the masseuse if you like a deeper massage, as they tend to be soft unless you say so. In addition the back, neck massages are truly total enjoyment. Life doesn’t get better than this! Prices are reasonable, 20 minutes for $ 20 for body work and reflexology.
