Lirenda Shiatsu

I called to make an appointment. The first person who pick up phone cannot speak and understand English very well. She asked another person in mandarin to talk me. Since I both speak in English and in Chinese, I talked to them in Chinese after the second person picked up the phone. She said what do you want? I replied I want to make an appointment. She just rude and replied the phone to say «call me 30 minutes later, we are really busy» hang up the phone without any goodbye. It’s really surprising and I cannot imagine how can they expect tips with this kind of service. Really disappointed …

The first two times that I went to this place, it was amazing. This last time was not.
My massage was different than it was on my previous visits. It as okay, but not my favorite. There was a lot of poking and shaking.
I was pleased that my knots were worked. I paid and left a 15% tip. The massage was alright, but not super good or amazing. The masseuse as standing there when I paid and was making a face and speaking in Chinese. I can understand enough Chinese to get there was an issue, but not enough to understand why the masseuse was upset, so I asked. They said that their prices are low so they expect a 20% tip. I gave here the additional $ 3 to make up the difference and left.
I am not sure if I will return. The others therapists were so good, I think I gave one a 25% tip. I really didn’t like the feeling like I HAVE to tip a certain amount. Also, her attitude was not good.

Stop!!! Stop!!! every one to go for Lirenda Shiatsu Massage place which is located 1347 Divisadero St, San Francisco, CA 94 115, I do come sometimes to this place, but now i realized , from the best place of Massage in the city changed to worst Massage place in the City, from the way how treat me one of the Lady works there Please don’t go to the worst place ever ,
I was working Hard, had headache & really need good massage just to reduce my Headache & get Relax, that is why I headed to Lirenda Shiatsu which is Located on 1347 Divisadero St San Francisco, CA, aggressive lady opened me, was acting unwelcome, I was confused if is that the place that use to come sometimes… I asked her if i can get a massage while i was looking another person to help me, I asked her if another can help me (massage), she just told me get out & come another time… well i thought she might be tired, i asked her kindly to help me if there was no one other than her, she asked me 50 dollar while her way to talk to me was yelling, I gave to her 60 which is extra 10 dollar as a tip, she grabbed the money & told me to go one of the rooms… once she started Massage she was still unwelcome & started to abuse me… i asked her to do a good massage & was saying to me to get out & come another time… hmmmmm, i already understand that she doesn’t know how to do massage … that is why she was forcing me to get out. My question to the owner of the place is why don’t hire Professional & provide good customer Service instead Putting some one who has no Idea about the Job…, yelling customers… & unwelcome face…
while she was working. she was in & out several times which is while working… telephone, door, talking cellphone… that is why i forced to leave with in 20 minutes, I asked her to charge me for half hour because she just did 20 minutes… hmmmmmm she was yelling me & don’t want to give me back money, i asked her in a nice way, since she was not working good, was in & out while she was working, & just did 20 minutes … i asked he plz give me back my money for half hour, she said Noooooooooo i am not going to give since you don’t want finish … how can in I stay next half hour if she is Rude at me, …I asked her to speak with the owner, or manager, she told me No Manager, no owner, I asked her if i can reach by phone or email … she said NO Noooooo, finally i forced to leave & left.

Ive gotten many massages, and i have got to say this place is the best by far. Its true, this isnt your high end spa, not fancy, no hot tub, no steam room, but they all know what they are doing.

Place is legit. Solid shiatsu, great pressure, and the staff is very nice. $ 50 for an hour is a good as you’re going to do for shiatsu in the City. Definitely coming back.

The best massage I’ve had in a long time. They get to the spots and definitely know what their doing. You will not regret it!

Maybe the best massage I’ve ever had. Incredibly friendly people. The price is absolutely right.
The front is very nondescript, some signage in the window and a folding sign out front. I only noticed it because it lays between my place and the bus stop I frequent. I’ve been known to get a massage once in a while and I was due, so I figured I’d give it a try.
This was the kind of massage I was always disappointed I wasn’t getting at other massage places. The pressure actually did work on my muscles, it’s not just some fluff, rub-​your-​back massage. My masseuse was incredibly methodical and was very aware of tension and knots, he found every spot that had been bothering me. All in all, really an excellent experience.
The price is right and the people were really friendly. I will definitely be having my next massage here.

Don’t come to Lirenda for a fancy spa experience, come for an amazing massage. Ye Cheng is one of the best masseurs I’ve ever had. He is strong and intuitive. The place is very simple and clean, and the prices are great. Trust me, you’ll get a great massage here.

This place is a gem. Incredibly reasonable, no frills, excellent shiatsu massage. Ye Cheng worked at Jedi Shiatsu for years and you can tell– his hands are pure magic. $ 39 for 30 minutes or $ 53 for an hour. It doesn’t get much better than that!

I walked by this place a while ago, ironically on my way home from a disappointing $ 99 massage from someone with really weak hands who couldn’t do much for my knots. I picked up a flyer and was struck by the price: $ 39 for a 30 minute shiatsu and $ 53 for 60 minutes. I’m not a mathematics professor, but that’s, like, half what I am used to paying at fancy spas.
Then I went on Unilocal and saw the 5 star review, booked an appointment, and had one of the best 30 minute massages I have ever had. With Ye. Hands of strength. He found my knots pretty quickly and worked on them until they were, um, less knotty.
It’s a no frills place. It’s not a fancy spa with a hot tub. But it’s clean and the décor is just fine. I got green tea after my massage. The lady at the desk was delightful, as was Ye. During the massage, the music was a slightly surreal mix of old time jazz, folk songs (e.g. Scarborough Fair), and 80s power ballads, but hey.
This place is now gonna be my go-​to place for a serious and seriously good value massage. Yes, sure, from time to time I’ll want the sauna/​steam/​hot tub/​zen design, but with Lirenda I’ll get hands of strength.

Ye Cheng rocks. He’s more affordable than most. He knows what he is doing and he is serious about it. No glam and glitter to dust out of your wallet. Late hours and walk-​ins but I would call ahead.
