Diamond Family Spa

I love to spa and massage and I been everywhere but I heard some of friends say this place but I didn’t ask more to find out by myself.
First check in. The clothes are so old and I can’t believe they still using it and give to customers.
The dry and steam sauna are ok but very small.
The place is too small so they have everything. I mean everything in the lounge. Rest, talking, baby yelling, people talking on phone, food court and etc.
How can you relax here? Again not that clean.
I been in Korean spa and sorry to say. This place not worth for me or anyone really want to come back.

I love this place. Came here for the first time with my friend last Friday and just fell in love with this place. Everyone here respected the process and it felt clean and relaxing. Would love to come here with my family.

This spa is a love-​hate relationship type of place. You either like it or its meh. The manager that speaks English and Chinese is very nice. She has good customer service. She’ll either inform you or apologize when you aren’t satisfied with something rather than looking annoyed like some people do. They only give you three small towels. I wish at least one was bigger. The uniforms are old with holes. Shower area can be cleaner. Shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel is just okay. There are only two blow dryers so make sure you claim your place in line before someone else snatches it away from you. Bring your own hair brush unless you’re okay using the one everyone else uses. The food here is horrible. Food is expensive. Customer service doesn’t smile and sucks. My family and I got cold noodles, bibimbap, katsu, and tofu soup. The cold noodle soup base was just water. Tofu soup tasted like water and spicy red paste mixed. Chicken katsu had no breading and looked like grilled chicken. The bibimbap was tasteless… I’m so confused because you can get delicious korean food at a cheaper price in LA. Maybe I’ll come back and try again? I’ll think about it.

Horrible service I have ever experienced.
Beware! RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Cashier gave me a nasty attitude about not having cash when they had no problem using their credit card terminal.

Honestly, I would give 0 star. One of the customer stole my friend’s shoes, and the owner did not do anything about it. No customer service at all!!! Not recommend this place !

I just returned home from Diamond Family Spa and since I recently created a Unilocal account, I might as well write a review. I’ve been to this spa before numerous times and this is probably one of the closer spas to where I’m currently residing. My experience at this spa has been okay, but not the best. If you’re a first-​timer visiting the spa, the spa is kind of in a hidden location around several business district buildings. There is plenty of parking and the staff at the front desk are courteous, but most have a strong accent when they speak English. Admission prices are fair but if you choose to go to the spa in the morning, I believe the prices are cheaper. The lockers to keep your belongings in are safe and sturdy. If you are a first-​timer, you do have the option to strip down. So, that means almost everyone you see at the bathing area will be naked! If you’re generally uncomfortable with nudity, I suggest bringing a swimsuit. The bathing areas are spacious and have many shower stalls, scrubbing stations, a dry sauna, a steam sauna, hot bath, warm bath, cold bath, and an event bath. I’m only speaking on behalf of the women’s sauna. I highly suggest bringing a pair of flip-​flops or slippers. I have noticed that there are older women who sometimes spit on the marbled tile floors at the bathing area. And who knows what other bodily fluids or types of bacteria there are on the floor. *Shudders* Also, I wish that the shampoo/​conditioner/​shower gel dispensers were replaced with new ones. I noticed that a lot of them in the women’s sauna are cracked and old. The co-​ed meeting area is VERY huge. There are also several rooms where you can sweat or cool off. My personal favorite is the dome-​shaped stone room because that’s the hottest room of all. I call it «the oven», haha. There is also a joint cafeteria where you can order food, desserts, and drinks. Overall, it’s an average spa. I’ve been to higher quality spas but if you’re in the area and just looking for a place nearby to relax and wind down, Diamond Family Spa is the right choice for you.

It was a totally new experience for me!!!
I first went in September and ALMA one of the staff there was very nice and very helpful!
I had never been to a spa until my boyfriend brought me here. I didn’t know girls walk there naked (in the girl area of course) so if you are a very shy person I don’t think it’s the right place for u.
I wouldn’t mind coming back!

It was my first time going to a spa an I didn’t really know what to expect. At first i was thinking everybody would have their clothes on in jacuzzi and sauna area, but i was definitely wrong. My boyfriend and I walking into a pool area fill with naked men which was very odd, but after a while of being in that area it felt normal. They have multiple jacuzzis with varieties of temperatures, also a steam room and sauna. After leaving the pool area I went into this area with about 6 different heating/​cooling rooms. All rooms were very comfortable and people were very respectful about the rules.
The price for all of that was 25 dollars, which is reasonable price. I would definitely recommend this place to come after a long stressful week.
Also they have this little inside diner that is great. I would recommend the shaved ice too cool down your body.

Overall nice spa with a wide variety of salt. clay. and different themed rooms. Bring your own towel… they supply you with 2 small towels. The services are decently priced. $ 75 gets you a scrub and massage. The restaurant is good too.

Ahhhh… I really needed this.
My visit to Diamond Family Spa went over and beyond my expectations!
I went for the evening time (9pm-​11pm) where the entry fee is discounted from $ 25 to $ 15.
If you’ve been to Japan, it’s kind of like the «onsen» there, but with a wonderful variety of different saunas!
I was really impressed by the many varieties of saunas there! The standard steam saunas were available in the bathing area, but other than that, they had mineral salt, crystal, and many other saunas in the big open room. There seemed to be some restaurants there, and they have an overnight option, which allows you to sleep on the floor of the open room.
Since I went so late, I saw some people sleeping already.
Awesome place to experience a Korean style bath house.

The lobby is big with many sauna rooms and a cooling room. Small restaurant inside that sells basic korean foods and shaved ice. Although the service there wasnt that good when we were ordering, but overall experience was fine. The spa is biggger but they dont give cups for water just paper holder…
They didnt have snacks like the other smaller spas. And their food is at least $ 10 and above for cold noodles and soups…
Showers and lockers were much more cleaner than the other ones I’ve been to. Kinda recommend it but not a Must go to place…

Tteokbokki-​good. Pretty authentic. Very spicy sauce. The rice cakes are really chewy.
Cold noodles-​average. The quality of the noodles is not bad. Good place for spa.

I had a great time here with my sisters and fiancé.
We all got scrubs and massages for $ 80 each. My scrub was amazing, I felt so clean afterwards and the woman even washed my hair. It was very relaxing.
We also hung out in the main room and had delicious korean sushi rolls, noodles, and plum tea.
I didn’t receive tattered clothes like another reviewer did, and thought the towels were fine. There was body lotion and a hair dryer in the changing room too.
All in all a nice experience!

I started coming here often with my mom when they first opened this place and it just got WORSE. I’ve been seeing a bunch of children run all over the place screaming, crying, and their parents don’t do anything about their undisciplined actions. Instead most adults are on their phones and talking really loudly. Mainly loud Chinese peeps. (I’m allowed to speak out because I’m Chinese-​Taiwanese myself) EXTREMELY RUDE AND NO COMMON COURTESY WHATSOEVER! The spa is supposed to be a place for people to de-​stress and relax. This isn’t a damn amusement park!!!
When you come in, they give you ripped clothes that are about to fall apart and only 3 small/​thin towels. Regarding the heated rooms, all the temperatures seem 20 degrees lower than it was supposed to be and the spa/​shower area are very dirty. They also used to offer body lotion, hair products, and hair brushes for people to use, but now it’s down to just q-​tips, tissue and 2 hair dryers in women dressing area. My boyfriend told me there weren’t any Q-​tips in the men’s room. WTF! Q-​TIPS ARE KINDA IMPORTANT!
Sadly, I will never come back here again nor recommend any family or friends…

First timer ladies (to this spa or kspa in general), read on!
Diamond Family Spa does have shampoo/​conditioner/​soap for you to use at each shower station. But if you’re like me and are used to using a specific brand of shampoo/​conditioner/​soap, then be sure to remember to bring it with you!
Alright, time to take a virtual tour with me to see where everything is: D
Entrance: You walk in and pay your $ 25 admission fee to the lady at the front (right). She’ll give you two (small) towels, a locker bracelet to be worn at all times and used to lock your locker, a spa uniform, and a toothbrush. Walk through straight ahead to the locker room for ladies. For gentlemen, you’ll be making a left to your locker room.
Locker Room: You’ll make an immediate right and you’ll see a bunch of lockers. Find your locker number and start stripping. Put everything into your locker, take your shampoo whatnot with you, and use your locker bracelet to beep and lock your locker. Head towards the makeup area and go through the doors where you’ll see a bunch of showers, three jacuzzi (hot, warm, cold), and two saunas (steam and dry). Shower for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes. And once you’re all clean, time to go relax with all the other naked ladies in the jacuzzi and sauna!
Or if the nakedness weirds you out, after you finish showering, come back out to the locker room and dress up in your spa uniform. Facing the makeup area, you’ll see a scale to your left and an another door to the left of the scale. That’ll be your entrance to the…
Co-​Ed Lounge Area and Salt/​Earth/​Ice/​Steam Rooms!
You’ll walk down a hallway and turn right into the lounge area. There’s water to your immediate right (don’t forget to rehydrate yourself every once in a while!) Okay, here you’re at corner 1. Going clockwise, there’s also corner 2, corner 3, and corner 4 (ending at the food area). The pillows and blanket are near corner 2. Get a pillow and a blanket, find some empty space on the heated floor, and lie down to relax or talk to your friends: D Oh, and there’s also three TVs playing Korean shows in the lounge if you want something to watch.
Or you can go to one of the rooms! I can’t remember what each of the rooms are called but they have labels outside the room, which you can take a look before stepping inside. Be sure to keep your voices down (or rather, please, just don’t talk) when you’re inside the rooms. Most people understand this, but every once in a while, I’ll have two ajummas inside one of the rooms with me talking so loudly when I really just want to relax and nap. My favorite room is the one at corner 3. Best room ever although it might not be for everyone since the heat can be overwhelming. But it’s so relaxing. Second favorite room would be the salt room. Lie down and have a friend cover your body with the salt rocks. I suggest trying each of the room for 10 – 15 minutes to see which ones you like.
I don’t know if it’s just bad luck for me, but I can never get WIFI to connect to my phone or tablet. Sucks. A few times, I’ve asked the lady at the front if she can restart the router since I asked other people in the lounge if they can connect to the WIFI and seems like no one can but still no luck. Maybe one day.
All in all, a perfect place to spend a couple hours (or a whole day) lounging around like a complete sloth. Wish I could do this all day: D

$ 25 for the general entrance. Try to go on Tuesday if you want to pay $ 15.
There are several rooms with different temperatures and settings for your taste.
Food/​beverage is actually not that pricey for what you get but I wish the lady who works there is a bit more friendly.
Perfect place to relax after your hard and stressful week.

My in-law’s took me and my husband here last time we visited them — apparently the Korean jjimjilbang is becoming a HUGE hype in the Asian community, and I can totally understand why after having experienced it in Korea during our March vacation. I think I expected a lot from Diamond Family because it’s Korean-​owned and it’s located in LA, where literally «all» the Asians live, but I was underwhelmed overall by the experience.
There’s only one good spa pool to be in that I could have tolerated the temperature. The hot jacuzzi one is almost impossible to step in, and the other 2 pools (one small and one medium-​sized) have cold water. When we visited, both the wet & dry sauna rooms were out of service…*sad*.
The common area is quite large, which I liked. They provide you with mats and pillows so you can just chill and do whatever you like. The different treatment rooms were also fun to be in — my only regret was not trying their restaurant… but they happened to be closed when we were ready to eat, so we ended up leaving the spa and eating elsewhere (but Korean!).
My parents took us to a place in Irvine a couple of weeks later, and we had a much more pleasant experience there instead!

After reading several reviews about Diamond Family Spa, I was a-​scared. Being that I never really went to a Korean spa, and wanted to go for the LONGEST, I trusted my date and left all of my worries at World Hot Pot.
The first thing that surprised me wasn’t how clean the place was, but how the guy in front spoke perfect Mandarin, Korean and English. After paying a $ 30 entrance fee ($ 5 for using an expire coupon, $ 25 to get in), we were given our spa gear, three towels and a watch with a big number stamped on it. That number was our assigned locker, where we put our shoes before stepping into the locker room and the actual device that opens and locks the locker. Pretty neat!
Going into the place, it was pretty dead; a good amount of patrons were relaxing, enjoying the Korean TV shows or just talking among themselves. We tried several of the rooms, and my favorite room would have to be the super hot boiling room with no official name. Granted, I was wearing contacts going in, but I love a good sweat, whether it was from running 5 miles earlier, or just sitting on my bum, letting the heat do its work. (However, I can not tolerate 100 degree weather. I like the ability to control my heat, thankyouverymuch.)
After a good hour or so of trying the different rooms, I went back to the locker room, put on my birthday suit and went into the showers/​jacuzzi area. Now, I was thinking I was going to be VERY uncomfortable because there were going to be many people, being a frequent gym-​goer and using the showers, I guess I kind of got used to it. The jacuzzi have different water temperatures, which is nice, in case you don’t want to become a soft-​boiled egg. Didn’t try the steam and wet room, because after the hot jacuzzi, I felt kind of light-​headed.
I did like the fact that you don’t really have to bring any toilette, but as an American, I’m prone to sweating a LOT, even after a shower. I also love the fact that the paper cups were actually paper envelopes! Less waste for the environment, or the Koreans got this stuff down.
I would want to come back here again, except my curiosity is leading me to try the spas in Koreatown. Thank you Diamond for breaking me into spa culture. Now, that I’m relaxed, I can go conquer the world!

What’s better than spending the holidays with your boyfriend’s family surrounded by naked ahjuhmahs all over the place? Everything and nothing at the same time (:
Entry fee is $ 25/​person but if you want to stay overnight, it’s $ 5 extra — much cheaper than staying at a hotel, plus you get access to everything for 24 hours. There are so many different types of rooms to choose from all with different temperatures– the salt room, the charcoal room, the cold room, the hot room, the smelly medicine room; same goes with the spa/​sauna area — different jacuzzis with different temperatures and one with a tea bag.
They also have a small restaurant that serves different types of Korean dishes like the spicy rice cake, ramen, udon, kimbapp (sushi) and a small café that serves delicious shaved ice with many beverage options.
This place is definitely smaller than Wi Spa in LA but their facility is nice and clean for the most part. The family room area has a lot of mats for community use unlike Wi Spa where you have to keep your eyes on the prize and grab them as soon as someone leaves — survival of the fittest for sure!
Since this place has been opened for years, they really need to get new uniforms since they’re all old and somewhat torn up. I mean, it’s a great investment since people sweat in those things all day err day. grrrroosssss!
I definitely want to try the full body scrub and massage next time. still trying to get used to being in my birthday suit around strangers that I might actually see again around town. I promise I will be brave enough next time! :D
