Chinese Massage — Local services in Pocatello

The BEST massage I have ever gotten BY FAR. I work out a lot and have started to pick up the occasional massage to help speed up recovery and help keep my posture healthy long-term. I have a couple of big issues with Chinese Massage though...

Pros: +The few massages I have gotten here are by far the best I have received. No hyperbole. Both for relaxation and effectiveness. I could instantly tell they were very good and experienced at their job. +Very smile-y and friendly therapists. +Competitive price!

Cons: -The initial experience was very 'sketchy.' Asked for only cash up-front. Also asked for / insisted for a tip after the massage was done (they only did this the very first time I came, so perhaps they have since learned how bad this is to customers). To the owners: DO NOT DO THIS! It will very quickly drive any customer away and you will not see them again!. It is better to get a returning customer than a small tip. Asking for a tip is a big no-no here in the States. -The location could be a bit cleaner. It's not awful, but could use some improvement. -Cash only! Not a huge negative... but it adds to the 'sketchiness.' It would seem more reputable if customers at least had the option of credit or debit. -No English. At all. You -might- get someone on the phone who can speak decent enough English, but that person is not on-location. So you could schedule a massage but when you show up for an appointment, they would already be busy from a walk-in customer. To the owners: PLEASE learn at least a little bit of business and anatomical English vocabulary. At least enough to schedule appointments and ask what people want from a massage. Conversational English would be a bonus.

I really hope the staff here improve their customer interaction because I don't want to see them go away! The massages...

First of all, they agreed for a walk-in which is great. Secondly, they asked me what kind of pressure I want before starting. They accept cash or PayPal. Neither of them speak English. It was little hard to communicate but we managed (thanks to Google Translator). Also, first the lady started and then the men came and took over. I'm not picky but it would have been nice if they informed me while switching. Overall the experience was good and the massage was really really good 😊. I hope they improve the ambience...

Fantastic experience and quite possibly the best massage I have ever had. The combination of deep tissue, oil, and hot stones was perfect. I just moved here so since my job hasnt started yet I have been spending every day moving boxes up and down stairs while unpacking which made my feet, calves and shoulders very tight and sore. I finally decided to get a massage when I woke up at 4am for the 5th night in a row with throbbing legs and feet. I was not disappointed, Andy did...
