Zen Reflexology

I love this place it is a total package. They just moved around the corner now to Centinela Blvd near Angel Maid Bakery.

Ah-​mazing. Literally the best massage I’ve had in LA and I’ve tried a lot of places at many different price points. This is not only the best, it’s also the best value!

I come here like every week. Sometimes more than once There’s some really good masseuses there right now! Michael, Jack and Yung are really good. Just spend the extra $ 15 ($ 35 before tip) and get the combo massage. It’s totally worth it. This place also jus let got the boot from their landlord and they’re moving down to centinela may 1^st.

Time and time again, I’m led to compose reviews that not only expound on a previously encountered experience (both reputable AND subpar)…but if anything, I’m compelled to provide an establishment with a lesson or two simply by way of highlighting undeniably palpable overlooked deficiencies.
Nothing like constructive criticism to insinuate a business up their game, …right?
So while in transition this past Friday… better yet, allow me to rephrase that, …while in route (…ain’t no Bruce Jenner shyt going on here) … after hitting up a hookah lounge in Westchester, prior to commencing my weekly hair cut, from my car, I attempted to phone Zen Reflexology from simply to obtain an appointment.
My experience was as follows:
Per Unilocal –AND– the establishment’s website, business hours are alleged as being: 10:30am — 10:30pm; WALK IN’S WELCOME.
* Why, then — was there NO ONE available to respond to my phone call for the duration of 2+ hours (between 1:30 and 4pm)?
Given the nature of culture diversity (unconventional lunch hours and breaks throughout the course of a day) and/​or the fact of a number of employees partaking in extended Friday luncheons, I set my phone to «auto dial» (I love this feature) and allowed it to contact this place ONCE every 15 minutes for the duration of 2 hours —– with NO SUCH LUCK.
* Did someone DIE? Did someone develop carpal tunnel from providing «deep tissue»,…preventing their hands from pressing «power» by way of their landline phone???
Better yet.
* Was there a power outage within the area that affected this business —solely — , as opposed to taking out the entire block and the news just neglected to cover it?
It’s imperative we realize the day and age we’re living within.
This is TWINNIE’ to the damn SIXTEEN!!!
— - — - — - — - — - — No one, repeat… NO ONE — is going to be any bit inclined to traverse completely OUT OF THEIR way to PATRONIZE your business and remit to you payment of their hard earned monies when something so simple as ANSWERING THE DAYUM PHONE doesn’t strike you as being the simplest of priorities. — - — - — - — - — - — -
Two plus hours, as I see it, is emphatically UNACCEPTABLE.
Heaven forbid I’d have already obtained service only to depart realizing I’d left a wallet or some jewelry behind. (sighs…) No doubt, I took my request for service ELSEWHERE!
With the aforementioned in mind, I was presented more than enough extra time — time enough, in fact, to peruse this establishment’s Unilocal reviews and wouldn’t you know it?
* I’ve already visited and reviewed their sister location in Culver City. Heaven help us, …what are the odds???
Thereon and with this into direct consideration, I’ve observed English to be at the very bottom of the hierarchy upon Zen’s preferred list in methods of communication and aside of the facility —MANDATING— otherwise OPTIONAL tips, I’ve requested the assistance of a translator to move forward within this review.

For what it’s worth, I love and embrace ALL cultures, YET, for those of us that still identify English to be the primary language spoken within the good olé’ U.S. of A, all 3 of the above translate to:
Zen — GET YOUR SHYT TOGETHER^.

Found my go to place. I’m new to this area and I’ve been doing my research. The seach is over. I get stress built up in the neck and Mike worked all the bumps out. The place is quiet and relaxing, I tried a different place and the girls talked the whole time! No talking here. Chairs are comfortable and no odd bumps. Also I prefer the hot towels that are a bit gritty –feels like an exfoliation — kinda. :) They delivered with the perfect towel.
Got my frequent massager card that I’ll be filling up.

This is my «go to» place for a total feel good massage!!! I always get a good massage and even better than good depending on how badly I needed it. I love the hours, the serenity of room and the healing touch! Always great as a b-​day gift!

I visited Zen Reflexology for the first time a few nights ago and it was great! Lulu was my therapist and she did a wonderful job! I was very pleased that the spa was quiet and peaceful and I was able to totally relax. I will definitely be back!

The best it gets for $ 20! I suffer from chronic migraines and they definitely know what pressure points to massage to get me relief. Definitely recommend.

Big Jim wasn’t good. He was TEXTING the whole time. I also found him stopping A LOT and caught him to closing his eyes to rest. We were the first appt of the day. He also only use one hand and used his thumb to deliver pressure not and actually rub. I looked over at my friend who was getting a completely different massage. She loved hers. Between asking him during the massage to stop texting and to use both hands not just one thumb. It was an embarrassment. They gave me a refund.

OMG! Beware!
They stood at desk and demanded. $ 10tip. Wouldn’t move from door. I’m not kidding.
Massage was good but on a $ 19 massage 5 is more than enough. He wrote on paper $ 10 tip.
Pretended he didn’t speak English.
Don’t do it people. Plenty other places. This is bad!

My first asian massage — it was wonderful. Mei was wonderful and I’m surprised at how much they do for such a good price. Being a newbie, I didn’t know what the steps were, and the language barrier cause a tiny bit of confusion, but it all worked out and it was enjoyable. I really did enjoy the asian-​style music in the background. I’ll be going back for sure.

Ok, first off before writing this review I was teetering between a four and a five star review. I came here twice in the two days I was in Los Angeles. There are two reasons for this: the price of the massage and the quality of the massage. As seen from one of the pictures, the «foot massage» was only $ 20 dollars. However, this foot massage encompassed my whole body. I’m not sure if any place can beat a one hour massage for $ 20 (not including the $ 10 tip I provided). Second the quality of the massage was spectacular. Both my fiancé and I went in with tensions in different spots. We did not tell them the problems because we thought it was only a foot massage, but at the completion of the massage we were talking and each masseuse catered to our tension spots without prompting them. We felt they really did know the human body!
The only negative is that the workers there do not speak very much English. Although this may seem like a downside, it really didn’t prompt any problems. I walked in, said hello, pointed to the massage I wanted on the sign, they took me to the room in the back and gave me my massage. Following the massage I walked to the front desk, paid for the massage, and was provided with a small cup of water.
All in all, it was a great way to spend a night and $ 20. An appointment isn’t required but encouraged, and if you’re looking for a quality massage at a great price, this should be your place!

Too noisy too many people snoring too much talking going on between the employees.
NOT WORTH IT.

I didn’t make an appointment but I was able to get a foot massage at 8:30pm on Thursday night.
My masseur was Jack. He can’t speak English but you can tell him if you feel pain.
When he was massaging my feet, I had pain.
I know that if I feel painful, that means there are something wrong with my body insde.
I wish I had more shoulder massage and got 10 more minutes. (I got about 50 munutes… instead of 60 minuts.
Well, $ 20 for foot massage (+ back, head and arms) is great deal.

I decided to stop by today for lunch. for a $ 20 foot combo massage. (it actually includes a little massaging of your entire body with focus on your feet) Flower did my massage and it was pretty good. Pressure was great and enough time spent on every part of my body other then my feet was great. only thing bad was no one spoke English. I went to pay and i was looked at as if $ 20 was not enough. so i pointed at the sign and showed flower that is what i was paying for. she still looked confused. went to ask a man about it and they both were confused. then the man proceeds to make change for the $ 20. i was like no no no… so i took the $ 20 and gave it to flower and pointed at the sign. then i took her tip and gave it to her and pointed at her. she finally understood. I think the look she gave me of not enough was because she only saw the $ 20 coming at first and not the rest for the tip. not cool that they automatically expect that tip and kind of a hassle if you ask me trying to communicate. I have been there before and usually don’t have an issue with communicating in English with the lady at the front.
However a problem i did have the time before last was i did end up getting my massage from an oversized –overweight man that constantly had to sit next to me on the massage bed and kept squeezing my thigh with his butt. he smelled like sweat and onion. yuck! anyhow, its a hit or miss with who you get. i have been there like 5 times and always get a decent massage for $ 20. that is the reason for the 3 stars. i cant say i won’t go back because it is a good deal and very close to work for a lunch run but the chances you take on who you get and how good they are is what you have to risk. $ 20 bucks is not much to loose on that risk lol .if your not super picky and can deal with the above then go for it. otherwise, there are better more pricier spots close by.

Awesome location
My boyfriend had a shitty massage and mine was more therapeutic and hard than relaxing, which was good, because he fixed my feet but not relaxing and very painful sometimes which I usually like ! It’s affordable and the place is nice but someone was smoking out back which ruined the air quality !

Hit or miss…
Its $ 20 for a foot massage (which is actually a full body massage. their foot massage chairs fold down & they ‘massage’ your whole body). It really depends on the masseuse you get when you show up… I’ve had 5 out of 5 massages and 0 out of 5 at times. I guess the pro-​tip is if you find a keeper masseuse, get their name and book them!
The only other issue is their tipping system. I have no problem throwing $ 10 on a $ 20 massage, but don’t feel pressured to throw $ 5 or less on a subpar experience. I normally do $ 10 when I actually feel relaxed and have my kinks sorted, but the last few visits were mediocre and I tipped accordingly ($ 5), and the masseuse not only didn’t acknowledge the tip, but gave me a dirty look!
My only regret was never jotting down the ‘good’ masseuse’s name for bookings!

I took my bf here, to ease him into getting massages. Little did I know, the 1 hr foot massage is basically a full body massage with extra attention to your feet.
I broke my ankle about 7 months ago and it’s still pretty tender. I thought about mentioning it to my masseuse but never had the chance to. Turns out, I didn’t have to. He spent waaaay more time on the injured foot and really got into the meat of my foot where it needed, and was gentle over the area where I had hurt it.
The massage was spot on– it hurt in some places, but I felt so light and pain free afterwards, so it was worth it. It’s not a fancy place, but for 20 bones (plus a $ 10 tip), it’s pretty much heaven on earth. My boyfriend, who was previously not into a massages, is a full blown convert. We’ve unanimously agreed this will be our new Sunday ritual.

Excellent service with a $ 20 foot massage for one hour. Always happy. Friendly staff even though thry do not speak much English. Relaxing atmosphere. Very private and quiet. Easy free parking. Been here about 10 times. Check it out!

I’m SOOOOO glad I gave this place a try. Was holding out for a while, since I frequent SGV foot massage places, and I was just expecting to be disappointed. NO WAY JOSE. This place is just as good if not better than most of those places for a couple reasons:
1) Privacy — In SGV, they cram like 20 chairs into one room. Here, the room is divided (with free standing dividers, no Burke Williams, but good enough) with 2 – 3 chairs in each section. So you at least get a sense of a private space.
2) Extras — Most places offer either a foot massage or body massage. Here, their foot massage, INCLUDES a little body work too. LOooOooove. The first time I came, I honestly thought the girl had misunderstood me, and I was fully expecting (and willing) to pay the higher price — but SURPRISE! Only $ 20!!! — like Christmas!
3) Their chairs recline! So comfy, and I don’t have to move when they go from foot to back to head… so convenient!
As some people have mentioned, each masseuse is different — so find one that you like and stick with him/​her. At $ 20 a pop, you can afford to test out a few. And don’t forget to get their loyalty card. Buy 10 get 1 free. Yes please!
I almost don’t want to post this review cuz I don’t want it to get too crowded, nor do I want them to realize how awesome they are and raise their prices. Dilemma.
*NOTE: THIS IS NOT BURKE WILLIAMS. This is a no frills, foot massage place.
