I just had one of the most painful and at the same time ecstatic hours of my life. What a wonderful place. Strong, professional, uncompromising massage and very welcoming people.
I highly recommend this place, just be aware that if you have not gotten a good massage in a long while and your body is stiff, this is not going to be a walk in the park :) -

Went here after a hard day when I was pretty sore. I called and was seen right away. I had "Tim" and he really got some knots out!
I had never been to an "asian massage" place before, so I wasn't ready for being rushed into a dark curtained room without some coddling first. I kind of stood there for a second unsure if I should just strip down, or wait. Anyway, just strip down and lay in the bed and they will get started right away. Express service!! -

Excellent massages and affordable as well. I don't mean the kind where people just stroke your back a bit with Ylang Ylang oil and while you lie there sniffing incense and listening to pop music played on zithers, either. I mean ACTUAL massages that make you feel like you've just gone through the wringer but my God, do you feel great afterwards. You walk away with a singing spine.
Be aware that there is a rip-off massage parlor right next door, one with a Yin-Yang sign on its window. Despite the Tai Chi symbol, that is NOT Tai Chi back massage! Make sure you read the signs! -

Have you ever felt like getting a massage late at night because you were just so stressed and had no idea where to go? That was me!
I didn't want to just blindly walk into a place that may not be the most legit....you know what I mean :) ....I was desperate..I want a massage, I want it NOW and I want it done simultaneously with 3 of my friends who also live in the EV.
SO of course I yelped and googled...I finally found Tai Chi that was listed on some remote page in my google search and no yelp review yet...a little skeptical so I called...
Me: "We a have 4 ppl...can you massage all of us @ the same time?"
Tai chi: "yes, how long are you going to be?"
Me: "5-10 mins"
Tai chi: "Yes, please come we will be waiting for you!"
Me: "We're on our way!"
Ok...so we walked...8 mins exactly we got there and a whole shebang of masseuses were eagerly waiting for our arrival...there were like 6 of them...I felt a little uncomfortable walking up to an Asian massage place with those tacky fluorescent lights.
Ok We were led into separate rooms...I undressed and slid under the covers face down....the guy came in asked me how long I want and began...
WOW...ok so NOT BAD afterall...he totally knew what he wast doing...a little warm up massaging under the towel then he used some massage oil and totally went for the spots I needed attention on. @_@
1 hour later...I totally didn't want to leave...but yeah I didn't want to pay extra and plus it was 12:30am...^_^ He rubbed off the massage oil with hot towels and it was done.
1 hour for 45$ plus 5$ tips...@ 11:30pm.....well worth it in my opinion :)
Facilities were clean and the ppl were nice. Time to go home and do more work. Cause I'm studious like that. @_^Listed in: Health, Wellness and Beauty

I had a massage from this place from advise from a friend, no hassles I called up got the time I wanted, walked in and bam on the table getting rid of all the tension. for about the next few days I could still feel it, and now writing this I think it is time to go back
And here is the good part, it is a massage, and a good massage. It is "NOT" some place where someone old enough to be my mom grabs my junk telling me it is happy happy time. -

I think Renee C wrote the entire story already.
I have to say this is probably most legit massage place in EV. they don't open 24 hours but they were kind enough to get all of us in right before they closed.
The price was affordable!! Massage was good.. I would definitely go back !!
