Olympic Spa

Went in for a couple’s massage. The massage was just okay. My masseuse was pretty good, but my husband’s masseuse was pretty weak even though he circled Very Hard for pressure and asked her to used more pressure during the massage.

Great message! Great couples massage. Very nice staff. Accommodating and felt great after.

For about a year we have had positive experiences with Olympic Spa. Their downtown Walnut Creek location is convenient for us, and we have parked with no hassles in the big garage that is almost next door. Once inside, we have not noticed any road noise from outside.
We have always gone for the couples deal which is $ 100 for the hour for 2 — both of us in the same room at the same time. They work for the entire 60 minutes. We fill out a questionnaire to indicate any of various issues, such as how many minutes to concentrate on each area; this has been really nice. We seem to generally mark the same allocations for each visit, but last time I wanted more time on my neck, and filling in the form makes the request easy. The price for the quality and the entire hour is very reasonable, and even better since they are right in Walnut Creek.
The therapists work hard and their quality has been consistent, and they have been polite and friendly. Last time we were told their names were Lisa and Jimmy. Lisa was terrific, and I will ask for her next time. They are conscientious about the amount of pressure, and routinely confirm that it is ok. Lisa found the tension I wanted to work on, and I found her technique and approach helpful and enjoyable, while not being unnecessarily uncomfortable.
We have walked to the place from home, and then stopped somewhere for a bite before heading back. Each time we go, they punch a repeat visitor card which provides a free visit once the card is filled. Still working toward filling that card! We are pleased that Olympic Spa is providing a good clean service for a reasonable price nearby. So far, we have not had interest to go elsewhere, and we hope that they continue doing what we like.

Unbelievable massage! I researched Olympic on Unilocal prior to going today for my ailing lower back. I was assigned a tiny girl (can’t remember name) that was the STRONGEST person that has ever given me a massage, including men. The back walk was a first for me, but now a necccesity! I’m reading the lower star ratings as I’m posting this, and people are missing the point! You’re there for physical wellness, period! Not uncomfortable bs about your underwear or tipping enough money… Btw, if you don’t tip at least $ 20, I don’t know how you can afford a massage to begin with, tight wade! Bottom line, what a great massage, and I’m going back weekly until I’m better!

Amazing! I will only ever come to this place from now on to get massages. I had so many knots in my back and really needed a massage but they are so over priced every where. I decided to try out this spot and will definitely be coming back. Alice, who works in the front, is so sweet. She makes sure you feel very relaxed as soon as you walk in and asks you exactly what you need to make sure you get what you want here. The rooms are very peaceful and they make sure it stays quiet inside so everyone can enjoy a little relaxation. I had Bob as a masseuse and I was extremely satisfied. He made sure to ask me if I was comfortable and if he pressure was ok throughout the massage. He also took his time on my back which is my problem area and didn’t rush through the massage. I am so glad I found a quality massage place that doesn’t rip me off. I HIGHLY recommend you go here for your next massage.

Decent little place for a massage! I was pretty surprised by the quality to price ration, given that it’s in downtown Walnut Creek. Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the service.

Alice is the most amazing spa owner ever. I can not say good things about incredible, wonderful, beautiful, gracious Alice. She will take Excellent care of you if I was to go to another massage parlor I would be betraying Alice and I simply can not do that. When we go to a massage parlor typically we are going to get a massage right? Right!
So yesterday when I was there my regular gal was not there. Alice totally hooked me up with a beautiful, young, pretty, sweet massage therapists that did an excellent job. If I remember correctly this young beauty’s name is Ira. I sure needed the massage and thank you Ira but thanks most of all to THE BEST SPA OWNER EVER… ALICE

I’ve been coming here for over 3 years. The staff is awesome and friendly. This is the only place I ever come to because when you ask for a deep tissue massage, that is what you get. I’ve gone to massage envy and all those other places many times. But I’ve been loyal for the last 3 years to Olympic spa, and that is saying something.
Bob is my favorite !

TLDR: Massage itself was decent, but the experience was weirdly intimate and uncomfortable.
For context, all communications happened in Chinese.
I went there for a couple’s massage with my boyfriend. After we had undressed and got under the sheets, a guy and girl walked in and said hello. I assumed that I would get massaged by the girl and my BF would get massaged by the guy, BUT NOPE. That’s when I first started getting a little uncomfortable. All the full body massages I’ve ever had were with women so I didn’t think about asking specifically for a girl. I come from an Asian family and I don’t like be touched by people, especially guys, even with clothes on. After slight hesitation, I brushed away my discomfort and tried to relax. I was receiving a professional massage and it wasn’t that big of a deal
I slowly got more comfortable as the massage started relaxing my muscles. About halfway through he asked if he was doing a good job. I said «yes». He whispered a breathy «thank you…» that didn’t do much to help me relax. A few minutes after that, he pulled the sheet all the way down below my butt and proceeded to try and pull my underwear down. Afraid that I had accidentally just agreed to whatever the girl version of a happy ending is, I NOPED as vehemently as I could. He stopped trying to peel my underwear off and proceeded to oil me up instead. After a little while, I started feeling comfortable again. Maybe, sensing that I had relaxed, he lifted the sheet off my right leg, and pulling my underwear all the way up to my butt crack, THONG STYLE. As he massaged my buttocks, in what I can only describe as an uncomfortably intimate way, I started to feel uneasy again.
After he finished both my legs, he told me to turn over. I refused. I wasn’t wearing a bra and the sheet was thin enough that he would be able to see all the goods. He got annoyed and lifted the sheet up in front of him to «help me» turn around. bear in mind, although he was looking away, there was another masseuse in the room who could look as much as she pleased. I grudgingly flipped around and he put the sheet back over me. Needless to say, I didn’t really enjoy the rest of my massage.
I was pretty pissed off afterwards and my BF gave them a low tip of $ 10. The lady at the counter gave us a shady look, but kept her mouth shut.
Aside from all that bullshit, the quality of the massage was decent, not the best but also not the worst. The price with a bit high since I left feeling more tense than when I went in.

I get the option to sit or stand when I work at my desk job 9−5*. The problem is that my standing posture isn’t much better than my sitting posture, so I’ve developed these painful aches underneath my right shoulder blade. I’m stingy when it comes to «fringe» services like massages or room service when reasonable substitutes are available (yoga or restaurants, anyone?), so I mean it when I give this place 5 stars.
The receptionist greeted me and asked me to indicate my focus areas on a piece of paper. I made some circles on the drawings, paid, and they were ready for me to head back. Everything happened so quickly that I had to ask them to wait while I grabbed some water.
I went into the room and found it relaxing: dim lights, fake fireplace, soft looking armchair, and blankets on the massage table. When the massage started, I could feel that William, the massage therapist, had very good pressure control and knew how to isolate the muscles. I liked how he used less aggressive techniques to get my muscled warmed up, then started a slow and deliberate process of combing out my knots. He is responsive to my reactions. My back reflexively tensed up at some point, and he backed down on the pressure. Everywhere else he brought it back up to the consistent, solid touch.
And the hot towel wipe down at the end is amazingly refreshing.
I’m going to get another massage soon, and I’m 99% sure I’m returning here.
*figuratively speaking, of course. My normal working hours are more like 7:28 — 4:48.

This place= AMAZING.
Understand, I rarely leave reviews and they’re normally if service is absolutely detestable.
But today I called at 1:00 PM-​after finding them on Unilocal-​asking if they by chance had any availability (I’ve had a rough month, but obviously didn’t tell them that going in). They got me in at 2, I arrived around 1:40, and after filling out some super short paperwork, was immediately taken care of. They showed me to my room and then the goddess of massage, Vicky came in about 5 minutes later and immediately started (mind you my appointment was for two, so I assumed I would wait, but I didn’t). She was so so kind and made me feel so comfortable. She did not over do the asking if it was okay. It was like the perfect amount of times and it was obviously far more than okay.
This is a fantastic place, but the reason I’m giving 5 stars is that not only was the massage the best I’ve ever had, but she went OVER an hour to make sure she got to every tight/​knotted spot on my body and didn’t charge me extra!
I will tell literally EVERYONE who gets a massage to come here. It was just great and the pricing was incredible especially considering the amazing service.
Thank you Vicky! And thank you Olympic spa!

I love this place, they’re so good, professional and clean. Also, it looks nice and relaxing inside.

The price is right the lights were dim the music was soft and most importantly the masseuses worked it out! We called and were able to get a same day appointment for the time we wanted. Upon check in we were given a checklist with preference on breakdown of how long we wanted particular areas massaged. We had two males who performed the massages. Bob was very intense and worked out knots Tom checked in a few times and didn’t spend too much time on any rough areas. Credit cards accepted at no additional charge. Parking available at garage behind Olympic massage requires paying meter — also accepts credit cards. Look forward to returning

Spur of the moment I walked in here and was able to get in right away.
Was greeted and handed a questionnaire which I appreciated because it allowed me to explain exactly what I wanted along with any health issues.
The massage itself was OKAY. Therapist did check in with me often regarding pressure but did not speak English, used phone to translate my comments to her.
May go back one more time to give it another try.

This was my first real massage so I don’t really have much to compare this to, but it was nice. I did the couple’s massage for $ 100/​hr, which I hear isn’t too bad. It is a very dim place, I guess it sets the mood or something? They give you a survey to basically allow you to tell them where you want them to concentrate and how much pressure you would like them to apply. I would suggest not getting light, because it is a little too light. I usually am very ticklish but the massage was so light I barely felt anything. It kind of gives you a similar pleasant feeling like a back rub, which wasn’t their fault. If I go again, I’d get a little stronger pressure.

Awesome massage and for a great price.
My fiancé and I have been looking for a go-​to spot for our regular massages. I’m glad we stumbled upon this place. It’s only $ 99/​hr for a couples massage, and the masseuses do an awesome job.
They’re receptive to feedback and you leave actually feeling relaxed/​that your worked up muscles received some much needed TLC.
We’ll definitely be back!

Jimmy came highly recommended, and now I know why! I’ve seen him a few times for deep tissue, couple’s massage, prenatal massage, postpartum massage. I snore when I’m on his table, he’s so good! Highly recommend him, just like everyone else on here. :-)
I also love how quick and easy it is to schedule with the lady who manages. Whether walk-​in or appointment, I’ve always been accommodated quickly and professionally, and I walk out feeling spoiled.

Bought a groupon for a couples massage at this place. Took several weeks to schedule something that worked out with our schedule. When we tried to schedule multiple times previously, we were initially told there were openings. But once we mentioned the groupon each time, they said no availability and tried to reschedule us at a time that didn’t work out for us (most likely because we wanted a weekend appointment and they want those slots for full paying customers). Anyways, we were later able to find a time that fit our schedule and made an appointment pretty easily since it was during the week.
I would give 5 stars for the massages and price we paid. But taking away one star for the customer service. Difficulty in our initial attempt to schedule a convenient appointment. Also, miscommunication with the groupon. It’s only for first time guests, but I didn’t realize there’d be a problem using it since I had bought it for my boyfriend who hadn’t been there before. She didn’t penalize me for it and still let me use the groupon, but her tone took me off guard. Would still recommend this place.

Best massage I have ever had AND the cheapest massage I have ever had.
I am new to the area and had tried one other place (that was a lot more expensive) and was not particularly blown away. I actually found Olympic Spa on Unilocal and decided to give it a try.
The staff is extremely friendly and you are attended to the moment you walk through the door. Before your massage they have you fill out a sheet listing which parts of your body you want to have them focus on most and anywhere that should be avoided. I didn’t really have any specific requests except that I wanted to make sure my neck got some attention.
Davee (I may have spelt that incorrectly, my apologies) was my masseur. He was wonderful and applied the perfect amount of pressure (I requested ‘medium’ pressure). He got out all of my knots and after the neck and head portion, I felt all the tension I had been building up vanish. Every part was fantastic.
The music was lovely, the room was just the right temperature, and the bed was clean and comfortable.
I say GO! Get a great massage for cheap, that is a real find in life if you ask me.

My boyfriend and I love the massages here. We have been here twice and both times we feel like a million dollar walking out.
First of all, Alice who works in the front is super helpful. She handed us the form to fill out and helped us decide on the type of massage to get. They use the form to help tailor your massage. Just mark the areas that you like them to work on and they will deliver.

My boyfriend decided on getting a strong «back walk» massage. His massage therapist got up on his back and massaged his back with her feet. They have bars on the ceiling to help with her balance. He had a great experience and said that it is worth trying. I don’t know of any other places that offer this type of massage.
I received a more traditional body massage. Both times, I was very pleased with the finger pressure that they use. Even though the massage is firm, they did not cause any sharp pains. They really worked out some on the knots near my shoulder blades. I had a guy massage therapist the second time and I like it better than the first because his hands are much bigger and stronger. I will always try to ask for a guy next time.
The massage therapists here are very professional and good at what they do. They are attentive and always asking for feedback to make sure your experience is good. My boyfriend and I are making this place a regular date night event. The cost is very fair for our couples massage. $ 100 for 1 hour body massage for the 2 of us. We always tip at the end at least 20%.
Parking is easy at the Broadway parking lot or on the streets. Olympic Spa have really interesting looking rooms with a faux fire place with blue lights, fake flower and vintage lamps. They have relaxing music in the background, however, if you go later in the evening the bar downstairs will start bumping up the music. Some nights, they have karaōke nights at that bar. I have no problem relaxing with some background hip-​hop beats when the massage is SOOOOOO GOOD.
