Top Therapy Massage — Local services in San Francisco

Definitely a no frills place like all my favorite Asian places on the East Coast. I was desperately looking for a massage for a back that was just getting tighter and tighter by the minute. All of the cases around my hotel were about two bucks a minute and I'm way too cheap for that!! Luckily about a 15-minute walk I found this little Chinatown gem and was able to book same day. I had Joe as a masseuse and he was out of this world. I love very strong hard massages, but I don't love when they seem to be trying to make me cry on purpose. Joe hit the perfect balance of firm and gentle and he stretches you which I always find an indication of a non lazy therapist bc it takes so much effort to flop my arms and legs around like I'm Gumby but man it feels so good. Don't expect any fancy treatment but do expect to leave feeling way way better than when you came in. Also your wallet will thank you. Even with a $40 tip it was still cheaper than a massage without tip at every other place I could find. As an aside, I never understood tipping based on percentage of cost for massages. It's just punishing the cheaper places even though in my experience the therapists work just as hard if not harder. I try to tip everyone based on how much time and how good of a job they do. I've seen people tipping $10 and it just makes me sad. I don't love tip culture in the US, but if you want to participate in society you should play by its rules. /End rant

Anyway check this place out if you like cheap, deep, no...

This is a nice "hole-in-the-wall" massage parlor (if that is even a thing!). It is nondescript and is fairly dated. They do not put you in a quiet, separate room for the massage. Instead, you right next to the front entrance on a hybrid massage chair/bed, but there is a separation wall to give you privacy! No one can see you. Plus, you do not have to remove any clothes, which is nice. The massage itself was the best I have ever had. They really focus on the back and shoulders and are quiet forceful, giving you a deep tissue massage. So if you are looking for a Swedish massage with a nice, lovely, quiet ambiance, this is not the place for you. However, if you are looking for a no frills, excellent deep tissue massage for a good price, then this...
