Lisa Zhang Asian Bodywork Treatments

Love the staff, very nice. I’ve been twice so far once had Female therapist and the last time was the male therapist. Wonderful massages at great prices!

Love. I come here every few weeks. Lisa always has an opening for reservations when I call. I come on Saturdays because that’s one of the day’s the guy is there, I forgot his name but he’s great! He can feel where my knots are and he’s always spot on with where the pain is! He even asks if the pain so gone and usually it’s gone!
This place is pretty good. I’ve gone to a lot of Chinese massage places from Chinatown to union square area to midtown, and this is one of the better ones.
The place is clean, tidy and they play nice relaxing music. Be warned this is a no frills kinda place. It’s the place you go to to get rid of that office shoulder pain you have after sitting in a terrible office chair for hours on end.
Price is reasonable it’s about $ 60 for an hour so like $ 1 for a minute. It’s cheaper in Chinatown for sure but it’s too far a track and sometimes some places aren’t clean. So this is my go to massage place for now. Wish it was cheaper but I guess that’s what midtown prices gets ya.

By far my *favorite* Asian massage place in NYC and I’ve been to quite a few. I visited monthly for about half a year for pain relief (back/​neck) as well as stress relief. There were only two downsides for me: location (which is obviously relative) and price; but if these things are not problems for you I highly, highly recommend stopping in.

+ SPACE: Compared to most American/​modern spas, the interior is incredibly bare bones; but compared to other Asian massage places in the city (such as those in/​near Chinatown), the ambience and cleanliness really feels above the rest. The space is also incredibly small (but cozy and comfortable). There are only about two massage beds separated by curtains, but it’s still fairly easy to walk in without a reservation
+ MASSAGE: AMAZING!!! The first time that I walked in I had such bad back pain that every time I sneezed, I felt like I was throwing my back. I went in for a one hour massage and it was SO painful, but in a good way. It was my first time getting a deep tissue massage and I ended up leaving with a bunch of bruises on my back; but, everything felt so much better. It was incredible. I also loved the hot stones and towel at the end. I continued to go to keep any pain at bay (since I was so stupid to let it get to the point that it did). I’ve found that my other visits were less painful (probably because the masseuse felt less knots) and so so so relaxing and heavenly. Basically what I’m saying is that if you’re looking to relax or to loosen up your problem areas, this is the place to be.
+ PRICE: They used to be cheaper per hour, but they’ve recently raised their prices and it’s forced me to go out and look for a new holy grail massage spot. Sad news bears. You can find their current pricing on their website or call in.
+ COMPARED TO OTHER SPOTS: I’ve been to about 5 different massage places since I’ve begun my journey for a new place and still haven’t found anything comparable. Most other Chinatown spots aren’t as relaxing and I felt that Lisa Zhang Asian Bodywork was the perfect combination of relaxation and relief.

Started going to this place as it’s around the corner from one of the yoga studios where I teach (Reflections Yoga on E. 24^th). While the price is a little higher than some comparable places, I have had five massages here and they’ve been worth it. My favorite so far is named Cee Cee. I was skeptical as she probably weighs 85 lbs. soaking wet but she was super effective. I can tell that most of the therapists working here have either been well trained or have a lot of experience or both. I’ve been to some Tui Na centers where the technique has been mediocre, but not here. They have an asthetician who does facials, I’d give it a shot once to see if their facials are as good as their massages.
Small, basement level spot, but very clean, quiet and you can almost always get an appointment as a walk in. However, there are only about 2 – 3 massage tables so if there is a wait, you may have to wait 30 minutes or longer. That only happened to me once. So basically, I recommend this place as a clean, un-​shady, professional place. Not the greatest English speakers, but most speak enough to understand what you need.

So amazing! Brought my boyfriend here and we both got hour long full body massages for such a reasonable price! Can’t wait to go back!

I’ve been here twice. The first time I came I could hardly move my neck. I forget who I had but she was wonderful. She worked on my back and by the time I left I had more movement then I had in days. Both times were very strong massages and it can hurt but my back sure thanked me later. This is a wonderful little place and the prices are great.

just had an amazing massage here. it was exactly what I needed! it was very reasonably priced, but even price aside, it’s one of the best massages I’ve had in a while. very pleasant clean atmosphere. highly recommended!

I have been to this place once. It was clean and quiet. Will definitely go back.

The three stars are not for the massage therapists. The ladies there are awesome. I am disappointed at the owner who was less than honest.
What happened was — I called ahead of time to see whether I could stop by for an appointment with my favorite massage therapist Sophia. The response on the phone I got was a positive yes. So I went ahead. Once I arrived, I confirmed verbally with the owner that I had an appointment with Sophia, who again, nodded in agreement, and hustled me in to one of the treatment rooms.
So I got in, undressed, and waited for my therapist to begin the treatment. THEN, the owner came in, and said, actually, because I called to make the appointment «too late,» Sophia was not available, and so she had to give me someone new instead. I felt lied to immediately, but since I had already taken the time to make it to the treatment center, I was not going to walk out without my massage done. So I gave this new lady a try.
The problem is — I experienced no relief with the new lady, who apparently was sweet and nice, but was unfamiliar with my muscle group at all. Time wasted. Money wasted. The owner did give me a $ 5 discount, which was less than meaningful because of all my time spent there and walking out without a bit of pain relief. I am not pleased with how the owner handled the entire situation. She had TWO opportunities to be upfront about Sophia’s unavailability, yet she chose to conceal the information until I got the place and undressed. Not impressed by the lack of honesty — which, after all, is what customers truly value.

I was looking for a good massage place for a while near the area. Working constantly with computers started to give me a back pain and was looking for good way to relax it. I just walked in without big expectation but it turned out to be great. Lala is very kind and she knows where my problems are. She focuses on the area where i needed the most. It is only few min walk and was so glad to find a place I can finally relax. It is not too fancy but very quite, relaxing. I would definitely visit here again! :)

I had a massage today and it was amazing! One of the best I’ve ever had! No phone calls and minimal interruptions.

Been here twice, both times on a Friday evening as a walk in. $ 48 for 60 min massage is a great deal and although the décor isn’t anything fancy, it is quiet, cozy and the beds feel comfortable and clean.
The first time I went, I had Sophie who gave me the tui na massage which consists of quick movements so I had a hard time relaxing though my body felt great afterwards.
The second time, I asked for Lala and specified that I was really looking to relax because I’d had a rough week and have been having trouble sleeping. She listened to my directions and gave me the massage I’d been looking for.
I would definitely come back and recommend this place for anyone wanting a quality massage for a great price.

Went there as I arrived in NYC… stopped for an hour massage… that ended up becoming a two and half hour journey… to paradise.
Lala turned out to be one of the best massage therapist I have encountered. She worked every inch of my tightened sciatic nerve, back and shoulders so strongly and precisely that U can now only congratulate and recommend everyone to get healed there… and at 35 $ /​hr when getting it prior to 3:00 pm… it is a bargain.
I will come back there every time I have the occasion to return to NYC.

Made reservations. Showed up on time. Said they were busy, come back in an hour or 4 hours later. Not much else to add here.

This place is incredible. I have been three times for massages and walked out feeling like a new person each time.

I have been to this place once. It was clean and quiet. I paid 48 $ for a 60 min massage, not incl. tip. I had Sophie, and I asked for a hard massage — hard is what I got! Will definitely go back.

Really clean and professional environment. Very relaxing. Excellent massage. Very kind, attentive workers.

This is not a day spa, this is an amazing hole in the wall massage parlor with low prices and specials for first time customers. Given the price point I was extremely surprised how effective the massage was, I came with an enormous amount of back pain and soreness in my legs. She was able to find everything and really work out all my problems. This was a better massage then i have gotten paying twice as much.
It was no surprise when she told me everyone at the army base down the street frequently show up when they are in pain. This place comes highly recommended

This place is great! Very clean! They actually have sheets on the bed and not paper, plus they play soothing spa music. Cute clean waiting area. The massage itself was fantastic! My massage therapist Eva was great and took great care to make sure I was enjoying my treatment!
Will def go back!

Smelly Towels, Deep Tissue and Phone Calls in Between
Lisa’s Bodywork treatments is a thumbs down for me after today’s smelly bath towels and phone call interruptions. The bath towels used as a barrier between your face and the tables were moist when I arrived, giving me the impression that they had just been used. In addition, as I lay under the sheets they appeared moist as well, not a welcoming feeling. During my massage Lisa worked out the knots in a careless manger, making me feel like a peace of meat, more bedside manner — please! Finally I was annoyed by the two phone calls she answered while giving me my massage. Her service is $ 60 for an hour treatment and I expect better, the bare minimum would be clean sheets.
