Soothing Ocean Chinese Foot Massage

I go there just for «oui», my massage therapist there… not sure how to say her name (close enough). She does a great sitting massage; really good! The place is OK otherwise, not zen in feel and when you first come in you see the messy break room which smells funny sometimes. They have a unpleasant/​unfriendly way of greeting you.
Get the «foot massage» for $ 19.99 before 3 o’clock. The foot massage is just about the same as a body massage. I not really sure why they call «foot massage». I go to see Oui for my sitting massage and I go to Barbara at King’s down the street by Von’s on Nordhoff. Between the two I am in heaven.

Went here for the first time one afternoon on a Sunday. I’ve seen passed by this place several times and wanted to try them out since it’s close to home. I figured why not it’s $ 25 and you get $ 5 off with the Unilocal first time check-​in coupon.
Well…just the heads up that wasn’t true to my surprise when I went. The lady working there told me that it doesn’t aply during the weekends. No where on the advertisement does it say only applies to weekdays. Boooo on that advertisment.
The massage was pretty good, but not sure if I’ll be going again anytime soon. Maybe during the week I may try to go.

As ive said this is my 2^nd time here. They give a very good massage. They’re all men here but they respect the ladies how they massage. Only 20 $. I will come back here every time i need a relaxation massage.

First time trying this place, i think I’ll be back again.
The place is your typical Chinese massage place-​no much privacy with the big chairs laying next to each other in a big room which is why they can have a price this cheap. They guys worked on me and my husband both pretty good at body massage, the foot massage part was just meh. But it did worked out a lot of the knots which we really needed.
They have their front door and back door open for the air circulation I guess, the con for that is I can hear people talking outside at the front and the crickets in the back.
But I have to give them major credits for the fact the guys massaging you do NOT chat with each other at all. If you been to those Chinese massage places, you know how they ALWAYS talk to each other while massaging clients!!! So this is really nice here that it’s really quiet in there with the music (some minor people talking and crickets).
They take visa, master and cash. And if your service is less than $ 25, they charge you transaction fee 50 cents each for using credit card they said.

I regret to say I cannot return to this place. I came in not knowing what to expect except for there being no private rooms and that you keep your clothes on.
It started with your feet in warm water and a neck and shoulder massage while sitting. That was actually enjoyable until they started to do things (like stretching your arms and cracking your back) that seemed like they were trying to do a chiropractic adjustment on you, but it didn’t feel right, so that’s one star off.
Then it progressed to lying down and a foot massage. The foot massage was pretty good except I am really ticklish. (That’s not their fault though). So anyways, I was cracking up under my towel the whole damn time, until he pulled really aggressively on my Achilles’ tendon. Not cool.
Then they pull on your thighs and knees a bit. I don’t know why but that made me crack up too, because it felt so funny.
Then they massage the top of your head and your forehead and temples, but the weirdest thing happens. They scratch your head and put their fingers in your ear holes. That really shocked me. And they dig them in there for awhile! I made faces with my eyes closed because I felt too embarrassed to say anything.
Then you turn over onto your stomach. Now, if you like super hard pressure, then maybe you’ll enjoy it. I honestly felt like I was being beat up. He had his elbows and forearms on my back but he was hitting my spine and it hurt like hell.
I guess I might have really tight glutes, because he spent a lot of time on my backside. But it was not appreciated. I felt like he was quickly and aggressively digging his elbow into the side of my hips. I kept moving my hips away from him in order for there to be less pressure.
He was pretty much digging his forearm and elbow into all the sensitive spots (like the bony areas and tailbone). I was so tense the entire time. I wanted to say stop and walk out, but I felt too damn embarrassed to do it.
Oh and if you do manage to relax, be ready to be woken up because they do this thing where they hit your feet. It doesn’t hurt but it doesn’t feel pleasant. It’s very jolting.
So yeah… speak up and maybe you’ll have a better experience. This just wasn’t my cup of tea.

After having lunch today with my Dad at Chi’s I decided to get a much needed massage. I walked in and they weren’t busy at all, Yong took me right in. I asked for a man because i like it hard, and boy did he deliver! He was super strong ad his hands never got tired. i even asked for 30 more minutes of just a back rub after the 20.00 massage. I feel so much better, I was super sore from my workout yesterday and a bunch of driving the last two days. I paid 40.00 for 1.5 hours. not bad and I included a 12.00 tip, since he workred hard. Plenty of parking, but their of tons of other businsses in this lot as well. I will defintely be I back.

Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh! My only complaint about this place, is that I am now addicted and will have to come back weekly. The staff is incredibly polite and very skilled. It is an open room concept, meaning no private rooms, but it is so calming, dimly lit, and quiet, that everyone is in their own little Zen place anyway, so who cares? I first went in with a seriously pulled muscle in my back. Before I could explain my point of injury, the guy (Stephen) was on it, like a heat seeking missile. Go! Just go, and let go! Enjoy the obligatory, albeit soothing Chinese music, and a great massage. Don’t forget to tip you massage therapist!

AMAZING! Got a foot massage but I told them ny back was bad and they worked on that. No complaina or fusses when I indicated the massage was too hard. If I didnt have knots I wouldn’t come here but if you have knots or soreness this is the place to be! Thanks jon!

Worst massage I’ve ever had. Been to several of Chinese massage places and thought I would try this based on Unilocal reviews. Guy spoke no English (usually they can speak a few words) and when I would tell him to stop something that was to hard, he would smile and go harder, even when I specifically said no. Also, chairs are very uncomfortable. In so much pain now. Will not be going back! Will stick with Granada Hills foot spa for sure!

Looking to relax and get a good massage? Ask for Kevin, he will take great care of you. You will walk out feeling like a million bucks. wear comfy clothes… Don’t be cheap on tipping, better to tip in cash.

So I got hooked on Chinese massage when I lived in Orange County and I was afraid I wouldn’t find a decent place when I moved to the valley but Soothing Ocean is just as great as my former place. The masseuse I had was excellent and got all the kinks out, and it was only $ 20 for an hour! I will be back!

Wow, $ 20 for one hour from head to toe massage. Unbelievable. And it’s really helped. I have had a lower back pain for a few months, suffering from that. I asked the lady if she can worked more on my lower back, and she did it, and her hands are just so magic. After tonight massage, I felt that the pain is much miner. I would go there everyday if my financial permitted

Great massages here! Of course the quality of each massage depends on the person. You just have to go in and figure out who works for you. I definitely walk out of here in a much better condition. /​Very nice people.

Steven is the best! He’s literally gods gift! I see him biweekly I’m hooked. Hands down best massage

Went in right now and they were closed. It was 10:03pm when I went and they supposedly close at 10:30pm. Sweet, thanks for making me look forward to coming after work and not being open.

It was okay. The guy who did my massage and the woman who did my husband dis a good job too.
I just cant get i er places that feel dirty and run down. Hole in the wall is a good explanation of the place. They need to vaccuum, get new towels and paint the walls.

A great spot for a relaxing massage.
I would say the skill and technique of the masseuses are average. But I still like coming here, because it’s clean, and the masseuses are polite and professional. Some of the other hole in the wall places I’ve been too may give a better massage. But the places looks kind of sketchy. Half the guys are coughing out their lungs or constantly clearing their throat (because they’re chain smokers), or they are constantly whispering during your massage. Not here !! You will most definitely have a relaxing experience.

I don’t know what it is. but I go to a lot of these Chinese foot massage places. Wherever I go. I seem to always compare everywhere else to this place. Soothing Ocean has set the damn foot massage standard for me!!! I had this woman masseuse once, and was literally climbing on my back and using her knees to kneed my back! I was so sore the next day like I went 12 rounds with Money Man Mayweather himself!
Was $ 20/​hr when they first opened but now it’s $ 25. I think it’s still $ 20 on M-​Th like 10am-​3pm. something like that. Bit if you check in at Unilocal.they’ll knock off another $ 5!

I have seen this place with people going in and out but never gave it a chance until last week. I actually had an appointment to the neighboring business when i decided to get foot massage just to relax. However, it turned out to be more; it was a full body massage ONLY for $ 20 an hour. I came in and lucky enough nobody was waiting because from what I read on the reviews, the best way is to get an appointment, which is true. What can I say more; when all great reviews on this business has been written. A great, affordable and cozy massage place. They have great hands of massaeus/​messaeur that can provide, swedish massage, deep tissue massage etc. I personally love deep tissue massage and really enjoyed a well relax massage session. The place is very tranquil and has this great vibe of relaxation as soon as you step inside.
Feel free to try this place, I guarantee; you to might get addicted and will come every week. Make sure to make an appointment so you won’t wait for too long

I’m honestly not sure if it was more soothing or more painful! It did have it’s good moments. but shitttt. it hurt! Like all I can think about was the pain.
Pros: cheap
Cons: painful, everyone in one room, can’t sleep bcus of all the noise.
