18 reviews for Lucky Foot Spa
$15 for 1 hour massage (plus $5 tip) that covers leg, foot, back, neck, face, arms, and butt. Oh yeah. Pretty much the standard package you find at most places.
But what separates this place is the location. Its located in the back of a plaza and is fairly quiet. Other places have cars coming and going or are on a busy street. This place was pretty quiet. Peaceful. Good stuff.
Is it possible to give a NEGATIVE star? This was hands down the WORST massage I've ever received, even for a Chinese foot massage place.
Here's why:
1. They used a lotion or massage oil on my face and hands first, and within 5 minutes I could feel my skin tingling and breaking out - I proceeded to have a mild rash from this stuff! It began burning my inside eye lids and I couldn't rub it off because my hands were covered in this stuff. The beginning of the end.
2. I'm ticklish in my middle back and I specifically told the lady NOT to massage there, she said OK and yet, after 10 minutes, proceeded to massage me in the exact place I told her not too! It was VERY uncomfortable.
3. When they massaged my back, they flipped me over on the lounge chair and put my face in a hole on the back of the chair. This is quite normal for most Chinese foot massage places. What was NOT normal was that face hole STANK like rotten fish. Yeah, you know what that smells like. And my face was in that stinky hole for 20 minutes! YUCK!
4. The workers were all talking to each other during my massage. WTF? They weren't even paying attention to their clients, only each other and chatting/laughing away. RUDE!
5. In the end, when I was on my back again, they did what most massage places do: roll their hands into fists and "bop" you on your legs, arms, etc. as a sign they are done. Well MY lady proceeded to "bop" my upper thighs, and instead of "bopping" my thighs, she hit my "down there"!!! I felt so violated! HOW WOULD SHE LIKE IT IF I PUNCHED HER IN HER VAGINA?
I'm never going back and I'm going to tell anyone who asks to avoid Lucky Foot Spa at all costs. Unless they like getting punched in the va-jay-jay.
I've been coming here ever since day 2 when they opened. The owner is extremely nice and speaks decent English. Some of the girls have worked here since they opened so they're pretty good at it now.
If they didn't have experience before, they do now.
The price at $15 is great. It's definitely more than a foot massage. They'll massage your face, head, neck, back, legs, and of course feet.
Although, if you hand over a $20 bill, don't expect any change as they'll automatically regard the $5 as tip.
Some of the girls are pretty strong, so when they ask "soft" or "hard" try the soft first so you don't get tweaked.
They offer a full body massage for like $35, but trust me the foot massage ($15/20) is the better deal of the two.

Probably the best of the San Gabriel foot massage parlors.
$15 per hour.
wow.....
not the place for a muscle liquifying massage
very relaxing/soothing experience- i was in heaven!
and for 15 bucks- dirt cheap!
place is a little hard to find, but look for the happy feet! so cute, clean :)
and yes the foot massage is not limited to your feet, they will do face arms back legs neck shoulders- oh so nice!
I've been to massage places but this takes the cake. A full hour, full body massage for $15 bucks.
It's very Chinese, meaning public. You get your massage fully clothed in a dark room with up to 30 people, possibly, and occassionally some jackass or jackasses talk to loudly, but overall, for the price, it is a great bargain.
I love when the masseuse puts her knees in your lower back. Oh man, that's heaven.
My husband and I came here for a $15.00, 1 hour foot massage. They not only massaged my feet, but my back, neck, head and etc.

No one speaks English. But the massage is cheap. Though all the people there will be chatting it up like its some nail salon, for the price and the speed, its worth it.
15 bucks for foot rubs that include a scalp and back massage automatically. I had hurt my foot pretty bad and the guy who was doing it knew my right foot was messed up and went easy on it. Otherwise I would have a hard time explaining in my non-Chinese what was wrong with me.

Great value and good overall massage..there a little chatty but luckily I had my iPhone on..good experience well come again
NO-NO-NO-NO!!! After reading the reviews here I decided to go try it. My boyfriend and I paid for 90 minutes - he got the sholder (30 min) + foot massage (60 min) and I got the back+foot massage for $25 each of us. After we got there - some other people arrived. Ok. Just more noise. But the thing that messed up my day and my wallet is that we were out of there in less than one hour!!! We the two guys who gave our massages said - OK - I thought that they just understood we wanted a 60 minutes foot massage. NO. They charged us the full $50 and we gave $10 tips total. We didnt know what to say - Seriously - We just wanted to get out of there. The massage was not good at all.
Will NEVER go back. What a waste of money!!! :(

ONE OF THE BEST FOOT AND BODY MASSAGE IN SAN GABRIEL VALLEY!!!!
They speak Mandarin and barely any English, but I seem Americans in there getting massages, so language shouldn't be a problem. Just walk in and they have a big display listing the different massage and duration in the lobby. You can point to what you want or tell them. Then the lady will lead you inside in a dim room to a recliner for a foot massage. The recliners will all that covers stating the day of the week, like say "Friday". This tells you that they change the recliner covers everyday and suppose to be clean.
This is similar to the taxis in China, where they change the head rest covers each day.
Anyways, the lady will lead you to your seat and then bring out a hot pot of water to soak your foot and give you a cover to cover your legs to keep it warm. You will be in a completely 180 degrees reclining massage chair. Then they will proceed to give you a shoulder, arms, and head massage. Once your feet is soaked, and the upper body massage is finish, they will take away the pot of water away and start giving you a foot massage.
After the foot massage, they bring out a hot towel to wipe your feet clean and then the last is a back massage. They will tell you to lay out your stomach with your head thru the head-hole in the recliner seat. They will give you a short back massage. Finally, you will feel refresh and glad to pay the $15/hr foot massage with a tip.
The ladies are all trained to really have you a routine massage. Not like some places where they massage you in whatever style they feel like. It's not professional here. I used to like a nearby place, but this has become my favorite for now.
I also tried their body massage $25/hr + tips. I highly recommended because it's truly a real good routine as they really try to relax you. You can tell them to concentration on certain areas, if you feel pain or knots in that part of your back. The lady that massage me was very professional, and she try not to answer your phone or talk too much.
The place is clean and the work is great.
I'M LUCKY TO FIND LUCKY FOOT SPA!!! They are located in the same plaza as the Yung Ho King Tou Chiang Restaurant (taiwanese breakfast soy milk place). I believe is called the Gold World Plaza on Valley Blvd (across the street from 888 Restaurant).
GO TRY IT!!!!

So the decor is not fancy and people were constantly talking around me, but who cares? The massage was good! The lady I had was pleasant yet had very strong hands. The full-body massage she gave me left me energized and happy for hours. And it's only for $15 plus tips. I am going back for sure.
Compared to other similar places, Lucky is smaller (less than 20 recliners, I think), but they are courteous and attentive, and the place actually smells clean. Some of them do speak enough English just in case anyone wonders. There may be a wait, but it'll be worth it!
i'm always up for cheap massages. the place is open til 11 pm but if you get there around 7:30 or so, you could be waiting for some time. we had about an hour wait.
it would probably be wise to bring someone with you that can speak chinese. with this one, you get the whole deal for $15...scalp massage, back, shoulders, arms, feet, calves, quads, and ooh, even glutes! gotta love those glute massages!
they're pretty chatty, tho. the staff's cell phones were ringing all over the place...and they would answer! one star off for that.

Came here again last Saturday after a long hard day of having fun at Disneyland. My body was aching terribly for some strange reason, so my boyfriend took me here.
I wasn't expecting much, so I was pleasantly surprised. The lady who massaged me this session was this woman I had been eying my previous visit. Hate to sound lesbian, but I was strangely attracted to her. Anyways. She gave me just what I needed! She had enough strength (usually people don't have that nowadays) in her kneading, it felt incredible. It even hurt at times, but hey, that's when you know it's working. She even got on top of me and used her knees to massage my buttocks. If you're interested in asking for her, she goes by "Tchuen Tien".
I walked out of there feeling just as new. It was so good, I gave her a $7 tip. The massage only cost $15/hour. It's weird how the package I got is called the foot massage, but they actually massage your entire body. I mean if they already do that in the cheapest package, why would you spend $35 on the "body massage" package for the same amount of time..? That didn't make much sense to me.

I love this place. My friend and I came here for a $15.00, 1 hour foot massage. They not only massaged my feet, but my back, neck, head and etc. They did an amazing job and massaged us, for an extra half an hour with no charge. The place was simple and very clean.
Def. worth the money and a visit , you will be hooked!

out of all the foot massage places located in San Gabriel valley i would have to say this is the best one!! I use to come to this place at least 1-2 times a week, now its more like 1 time every two week since the money in my wallet started to disappear.
they start you off with a wonderful head/face massage while your foot is bathe in a tea bath. Then on to arms, shoulders, and hands, which was really relaxing. The feet is next, however the feet isn't the last part of the massage. They will instruct you to turn over in Chinese, and put your face through the face thingy....then you will received a awesome back massage that will put you to sleep.
Dam i love this, too bad I'm not rich or i would be visiting everyday.
the women who work here are amazing.
lovely kind people. so so sweet and kind. they made me feel like i was talking to my mom. i was so comfortable and relaxed. i really felt at home. this place was clean and lovely..
thank you~! highly recommended... treat yourself out to this its so worth it...
One hour of great rubbing for 15$. Usually no wait. Helps if you speak a bit of Chinese but more fun if you dont.
