Siam Thai Massage

Excellent service. Got what I need. Strong and relaxing. Recommended for anyone who’s need strong massage just ask for YOYO, NANA, or Travis. This place is nice, quite and clean. I wanna come back here often.

i am a massage snob. i also know the difference between a $ 200 and a $ 35 massage. when i want foo-​foo smelling air, cucumber water, snacks, steam room and a plush robe – i go to a nice hotel spa. when i want someone to get my knots out and help me with my headaches and make me feel whole again, i come here. they’re extremely flexible with last minute scheduling and Monique – as tiny as she is– gives me the deepest massage i can find. i have never been to a massage where the pressure is too much but there have been a couple of times i was considering screaming – but i needed it. the place is clean and quiet. there’s parking in the back. they don’t speak great english, but once they know your needs – you are set! she starts with hot wet towels on my feet, and the rest is a haze. she walks on me, uses her elbows where i need it, stretches me – i am a noodle in her hands! i always tip $ 20. THINK, people. These ladies work hard, charge you almost nothing – so tips are their bread and butter. If someone comps me something, i always tip way more than i would if they charged me. so why wouldn’t you tip more when they charge you a lot less than you would have paid elsewhere? So glad i found this place. been going for years. will continue to do so for more. :-)

Private place, good massage, staff have delight to service you. Therapist that I recommend so professional nana, patty, yoyo, monique and travis. ^^

visited them 2 times, first time was ok, second time, TERRIBLE… pain in my back for the past 3 weeks because of their massage. Suggestion: stay away.

I will never step foot in this place again! Ive been here many times and these people are extremely rude, everytime I asked the person to massage me harder she would just continue massaging at the same pressure and just making a sound with her mouth as if she were putting more pressure into it. Also, she hurt my spine because they dont know how to control their elbow i kept telling her that she was hurting me but she didnt care and just kept rubbing my spine with her elbow.
To top it off the lady asked for tip after.
I do not recommend this place.

I was a bit skeptical about this place. I saw mixed reviews and in google, they talked about «happy endings». Anyway, I came to Unilocal and saw good reviews. so I decided to go. FIrst of all, I took a coupon and they wouldn’t accept it. The massage was just as another reviewer had described it. I was undressed. and given a pair of men’s boxer shorts with an opening in front. (I’m a female) Makes you wonder what happens in here. I had to pay $ 40, plus $ 2+ for using my debit card and gave her 15% tip. She had the audacity to laugh at me, and said I was tipping her too little. Are you kidding me? Last time I checked, tipping was optional and for good service. The rooms are private, but as someone else suggested, not so private. Every time she went in and out of the room, I had to grab whatever was next to me to cover up.. It was not relaxing, she asked me personal questions. honestly I don’t think I will be returning.

Let me put an end to the inaccuracies below. Siam Thai Massage is a perfectly clean, relatively quiet, very inexpensive ($ 35/​hr off peak hours, and $ 40/​hr prime time) place to get a very good massage for the price. No, the walls in each room do not go all the way to the ceiling, they are about a foot shy, but that has no bearing on the level of noise. Soothing music plays throughout, however I chose to listen to music on my own iPod. There are indeed both kinds of massages offered, Thai massage, which is easier to perform with the subject lying on a mattress on the floor. (Often the masseuse will walk on your back.) There are a few rooms like this. And there are a few rooms with regular massage tables, with a hole for your face, as I preferred. The room was small, yes; there were sheets on the comfortable massage table, and towels as opposed to sheets for covering up. The temperature in there was comfortable, and I’m sure extra towels, sheets or even blankets are available if one were to ask. The lighting was dim – consistent with any spa treatment room.
My masseuse was Yoyo, as I understood her pronunciation. She was not world class Swedish masseuse or up to the standards of Burke Williams, but she’s been around the block and worked my entire body at a pressure level (medium) that I liked for 63 minutes. I’d go back in a minute. And will.

I am a BIG massage snob. I have had many a masseuse in my lifetime and must say that Lisa at Siam is the BEST. She is all of 90 lbs, but incredibly strong and intuitively knows what your body needs. I like a very strong massage, and she delivers ALL the time. For $ 35 you can’t beat this kind of treatment! On another note, I must say that my sister and mom came for massages and left dissatisfied. (Neither one had Lisa).

My husband & I both went to Siam Thai Massage on the weekend and we both loved our massage. We got the Combo: Thai/​Swedish massage and I loved the pressure, technique and the stretches.
I thought the place was clean and not gross feeling at all. The ceilings are open so you can hear wispering; but for the price we both thought it was perfect and we would go again.

hands down the best thai massage place in LA.
I like the private rooms (there’s never anyone snoring or making noises), everything is clean and the massage is ALWAYS great

I go to this shop all the time. I don’t know what’s up with the negative reviews for this place, but they seem outdated and inaccurate (the rooms are NOT open at the top).
The staff here are very friendly and professional. This is not some underground dirty massage shop. The interior is very clean and has a nice Thai theme to it. The environment is very pleasant and the masseuses are well trained to deliver just the kind of massage you want for such great prices. Customers get their own comfortable private room which is really relaxing. The facials are great here too!

My first Thai Massage was at the Wat Po in Bangkok, Thailand, and since then, I’ve hunted down good masseuses here in LA. Siam Thai is GREAT when you have a good masseuse, and crappy when you have someone who just giggles when you ask for more pressure. I like real Thai massage though, which is rough and painful for many people.
The atmosphere is clean, and the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that they don’t tell you what to do when you are let in the room, so first timers are confused, I’m sure. You’re supposed to undress to your underwear, put on the boxers, and lay on the raised platform then put the towel over yourself. I have no problem with this as I know the ropes. Many of the masseurs don’t speak English either. I couldn’t care less as I don’t like to chat during massages.
Because I don’t want to take the chance and get a masseuse who doesn’t know what they’re doing, I call and make appointments. In my opinion the best masseuses are Nick, (male), April (female), and Jackie (?)

If you’re just looking for the basics (i.e., a deep massage), then Siam Thai might be okay. But don’t ask for more. It’s noisy, cold, and the customer service is lacking. Not to mention they tack on a $ 2.50 service charge for using a credit card. My masseuse was awesome. But I heard every phone ring, conversation, TV show (employees were watching in the back) that was happening throughout the place. Not only that, I was shown to a room, given no instructions until I asked, and then sat naked on a bed with no sheet/​cover until someone arrived. My feet were chilled throughout given there was no cover.

I don’t understand the glowing reviews. This place has private rooms, yes, but the rooms are open at the top, so you hear EVERYTHING. The man next to you grunting, the older woman discussing her gout, the phone with the ringer that goes to 11, EVERYTHING.
When I arrived the only thing I was asked was how I intended to pay. I said credit card, and was quickly ushered away. The girl assigned to me was unsure of what I should do for my Swedish massage. Should I undress? Put on these shorts? She shrugged. I undressed, but there was no sheet! I found a sheet on a shelf to cover myself, and she came in to begin. She couldn’t figure out how to uncover the facial opening in the massage table so I could lie face down comfortably. It was just incredibly awkward.
So she begins massaging me with tons of oil, and spent the majority of her time just caressing my back. My neck was touched for maybe two to three minutes, and that’s a generous assessment. My head was not touched at all. My feet were not massaged at all. What was massaged? My exposed butt, as she’d removed the sheet! Never in ten years of receiving professional massage has this ever happened to me. For a fleeting moment I thought I’d really landed in the wrong place.
The masseuse left the room four or five times during the massage. At one point, she tapped my arm and said, «one minute,» and I looked up just in time for her to turn the light all the way up so I was blinded. She proceeded to punch some buttons on a wall for a while. The jarring stopping and starting was totally disconcerting. She also had an intermittent but loud conversation going with someone outside the door throughout the massage.
The massage finally ended — abruptly — and when I dressed and returned to the front a man I’d not seen when I entered told me I’d be charged two extra dollars for using a credit card. Now, I know it’s only $ 2, but since credit card payment was the only thing that was very briefly discussed when I arrived, it was slightly annoying that no one bothered to mention this tidbit. The guy then tried to suggest that my tip be based on the price that included the $ 2 credit card surcharge.
Overall, it was an awful experience. My neck still hurts and I’m not at all relaxed. Big waste of time and money.

The BEST $ 35 massage, this side of anywhere! Not only is this the LEAST expensive 1 hour massage I know of in the city (some may match but not beat-​if they’re in the valley, pls let me know!) it honestly seems to be one of the most «professional» in that the massage (at least swedish, the only type of massage i get at thai places) is performed in a clean & tranquil private room-(so tranquil in fact, that you may stumble around the 1^st time, as the lights are so low, you can barely see your way to the table-​but for $ 35 & an hour who cares?). Also, they have a massage TABLE on which to perform a swedish massage, unlike other inexpensive thai places i’ve gone to where you must lay on a bed on the floor, even for swedish, & i end up walking out w/​a stiff neck & a sore back. here, the oil smells good, the service is friendly, & i received a massage i would say was a solid 8 out of 10 the other day-​even at fancy smanshy places & upscale spas, i’ve rec’d massages that were at best, mediocre, say a 5 or 6. here, they start off (ea. person’s technique is different) by rubbing down your back, arms & feet w/​a WARM wet washcloth that really relaxes you & gets rid of the sins if your feet are yucky (NOT speaking from personal experience, mind u!) the last time i went, the pressure was JUST right, & she even went a few minutes over, something i DEFINITELY appreciated. on a previous visit, the therapist ended about 10 minutes early– i was really frustrated. i’ve had this happen before at other thai massage places, so i finally figured out that i should at least SAY something when checking out, so they won’t think it went unnoticed. i’m such a mouse when it comes to these things… but i at least mustered up the courage to say «ahh, we ended 10 minutes early”-to which the therapist apologized & said she’d give me more time next time. i haven’t seen her since, nor do i hold a grudge at $ 35…though i do think skipping time can be irritating-​so just take note of the time when the therapist walks in & get ready for a great massage! i’ve been about 5 times total & this only happened once. every time i’ve gotten an above average massage, though.
as an aside, i don’t really «get’ the whole thai massage popularity. it must be great however, since there are so so so many thai massage places all over the place. however just in case you don’t enjoy the feeling of someone walking on your head, & just in case you want to do your stretching at the gym, not while getting a massage, try a thai massage place & ask for SWEDISH… it’s the typical masage you’ve always heard about w/​the long strokes & massage oil (my actual fav is chinese massage but it’s hard to find inexpensively in la). anyway, enjoy!

I’d been driving by this place for a week and decided to go in on a whim today. I walked in about 6:30 pm and was immediately greeted. I asked about the special I had seen in the window ($ 35/​hr) and was advised I could get 3 types of massage. Choices are: Thai, Swedish and Combo (Thai/​Swedish). I was asked if I’d ever been there before and when I said «no, this is my first time here» I was advised that the Combo massage might be my best bet and was asked if I preferred a male or female therapist. I went with the Combo and a female therapist.
I was immediately taken into a room… technically, it was for 2 people (1 on each side of the room with curtains separating both) but it remained private during my whole massage. The room was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. I’m loving this place already. There were pants laid out for me to put on, but it turns out, you don’t need them for the Combo massage (just undies).
I was given adequate time to change (I always hate it when they walk in after a minute!) so that was nice. Anyways, the massage was great, good pressure, good mixture of Thai and Swedish. Ask for Andrea, she was great! I think that the only draw back was that it got noisy at times. However, I was still relaxed and was able to enjoy my massage and to drift off to sleep. I still can’t pinpoint what type of massage lotion she used but it smells great… sorta citrusy and not at all greasy.
After wards, I was greeted out in the waiting area with a cup of water. I’m telling you for $ 35/​hr you cannot go wrong!
Besides the price… the hours rock! 10 am-​9pm EVERYDAY. I was told the last appointment is at 9pm!
I dare you to find a better place for that type of money!
