Did a couples massage. Really welcoming room and nice smells/music. Some street sounds from being in Union. First time being walked on as a part of a massage and not bad. I enjoyed the warm clothes. Also the stretching felt good. Sometimes was a bit on the harder side so recommend asking for lighter if you dont usually ask for hard massages (I did medium and it felt hard compared to past experiences).Update: coming back to downgrade this a star after my shoulder hurts immensely from my massage earlier. I feel sore. Too much against the muscle grain pressure which put things out of whack.
I had a 90 min massage with Monica. Monica was very attentive and kind. She frequently checked in with me, while also recognizing where I held more tension and paying special attention to these areas. She encouraged some unpleasant sensation during the massage to find relief, but it was never forced upon me and I even received warning. Again, always checking in. I feel significantly lighter as someone who holds a lot of tension.My chosen massage was the hot stone. The massage was not entirely hot stone and involved traditional Thai massage and what seemed like some deep tissue.
Really good value—skilled masseuses giving Thai massage at a very reasonable price. We try to come every month when we can. They are good at tailoring massages to our needs. I just had my mid-back and hips worked on, and I feel great. It can get intense, but they can modulate the pressure.
I went for a 90min couples massage with my boyfriend at the Somerville location and we had a great experience. Service was excellent and they did a great job, we were so relaxed and free of muscle tension after the session. Definitely coming back every month.
Smile Thai Health Spa is a hidden gem. Their prices are so reasonable for the experience that you get. I am currently training for a marathon and went in for the soreness. I did the 60 minute deep tissue massage and left wishing I splurged for the 90 minute. The treatment includes lotions/oils that smell great, hot towels, and stretching. Emily was my masseuse and she was fabulous, always checking in on how I was feeling and if the pressure was good. Can’t beat it!
Great service all around. I was able to come with a group and reserve for 7 over the phone, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. On-site, the massages were great and helped everyone feel more relaxed and we enjoyed the green tea afterwards and the items available for purchase. Will definitely be back!
I recently indulged in the Thai massage at Smile Thai Spa, and it surpassed all expectations. The therapists mastery of techniques and personalized approach melted away any tension I had, leaving me utterly revitalized. The ambiance exuded tranquility, and the staffs warmth and professionalism enhanced the entire experience. I wholeheartedly endorse Smile Thai Spa for anyone seeking an authentic and deeply relaxing Thai massage experience.
Highly recommended! I just had my second massage here, each with a different masseuse, and both of them were clearly experienced pros at Thai style massage. They applied a generous amount of pressure but we’re careful around the areas I told them were sore. Pam was excellent. You can’t go wrong here.
They are amazing!! The massages always leave you feeling amazing. Ive been coming here for almost 2 years now and never a disappointment. Great services and knowledgeable about each pressure points needing attention.
This place doesn’t need any more 5-star review and it’s known as the best Thai massage in Boston. However I just had the best massage in this place that I must leave my own review to share my satisfaction and appreciation.I have been here for the past 3 or 4 years and I always go with therapist Aommy. I can’t tell anything in particular about her massage style/skill, but I just love every presses and kneading motions she makes. She is very consistent with the frequency of every motion so I always have equal amount of treatment on both sides of the body. Unfortunately she moved out of town and I stopped going here for a couple of months.Then I started with Emily. She didn’t leave a strong impression on my first visit with her. All I remember is: oh she applies strong pressure (and it hurts! in a good way). What made me leaves this review is my latest visit: a 90-min thai massage. I originally asked for 60-min thai + 30 min feet/hands, but totally forgot about that when I was in the session: it was so good, and so different!! She did spend more time on my feet and hands but didn’t necessarily keep the two sessions separate. When she’s done with my back and asked me to turn over I was like: what? This felt so short!! May I have more time plz. But the session continued to be delightful when I was lying down. There were so many different motions than the 60-min session!! I wish I can drown in this massage and never wake up. It felt so good that I almost burst into tears. But good things never last and my session came to an end. It’s over. Now it’s time to get dressed and pay.Ever since my first visit, I’ve recommended this place to every friend of mine who lives in Boston or visits Boston - and for those who went, no single one of them doesn’t love it.I wish their business continues to thrive and maintain the high standards of service they consistently provide ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I’m moving out of Boston but want to leave my happy review as a closure to all my visits here. I hope I can find another massage place just as good as this one.
I really enjoy the massages here. Theyre incredible. My issue is with my back, and it gets a special stretch after the massage. She has very strong hands and feet, and she presses them into the spot I need, making my whole body feel relaxed! I especially love the perfect ending - the head and face massage.
Very relaxing and enjoyable experience, it was the first massage of my life and Julie was very attentive, gentle and considerate. I went in with continuous pain on my neck and shoulders and was relieved of them after the session. Will definitely be back!
Had such an amazing massage with Pam. She used various different methods to work on my knots and I always felt like I was in great hands.
I breakdance and exercise regularly, so my body’s been feeling tight for the past couple weeks, especially at my neck and traps. It was my first time coming here and the therapist here did not disappoint. I asked for medium pressure for my massage. I was stretched, pressed, and massaged in effective ways. I felt relaxed and pushed at times during the massage, and came out feeling like I had a refreshed body. The employees here are very welcoming and catering. It’s also clean here with a good ambience.
Every massage therapist here is great and listens when you are talking through your focus areas. Would highly recommend!I work at a bakery so my job is really physical. My shoulders and my back will sometimes give me issues. I will come here to get a massage and it always helps me feel better.
I have had my fair share of Thai massages in Thailand and other places. This was hands down/on?, one of the best. I can only speak for my one experience with my masseuse(wish I had gotten her name, I was in a massage haze by the end! long hair in a ponytail with glasses). She went straight to business with full-on Cirque du Soleil moves. There are gymnasts bars on the ceiling that she actively used. She said I was the tightest person she had seen that day, what an accolade! I wanted a deep tissue massage and I definitely got it and did not want it to end!I will be back and might be purchasing gift cards for friends I know that live nearby! I was in such a daze afterward that I did the addition wrong on the tip and final amount, making it higher, and in a very sweet Thai way before I left came after me giggling asking me to check my math. Love this place!
10 out of 10 amazing massage. I have received numerous massages in several states, but nothing beats my experiences at Smile Thai. This place will leave you feeling reborn and rejuvenated. You won’t regret!!
The most amazing find in the greater Boston area. Lovely, professional, clean, and an amazing massage every time whether you’re in need of some gentle relaxation or a sports massage. While I’ve moved away from Boston, I still come back just to see Pam! She’s stellar!!
Cozy place in Somerville. Great customer service and they can deliver a very intense massage, if that’s what you’re looking for. Medium was quite nice for a first timer, but I could also recommend Light since some of my knots were quite tight. There’s a cash discount too, which makes it decently affordable for the area. Would definitely come back for a couple’s massage again.
Thai spa has been my go to! They really make an effort to work professionally and focus on areas of stress. They have reasonable prices and are always willing to accommodate timings. Great experience every time.
This place is the best thai massage Ive experienced ever. Ive had massages in the US, Korea, and Hawaii, and this is the best location!Keep in mind the day of the week and time you book the appointment because you want the therapist to be well rested and energized; so I prefer the morning or an awkward time before 2 PM on a random weekday.Also, there are many therapists here, so you just have to experience them and see which one is the best fit for you because everyones preference is actually different. Ive been here many times, and I finally found the one!
I have been here twice, one for a deep tissue thai and one for lymphatic draining. Everytime I leave revived and completely relaxed. I sprained my ankle 4 weeks ago and knew I needed to get blood flow to the ankle as it was tight. The mobility of the ankle has already improved in the same day. I have a massage about once every 3 months and I have been to many massage therapists in Boston and all over the world. Hands down this place is top notch and priced fairly for their healing work. They listen to your needs and communicate very well through out to make sure the pressure is comfortable. Do not hesitate to book here. I know I will be coming back and back again now that I found this place.
We have been coming here for over 5 years now. Even though we moved further away, we bother driving about 30 minutes just for this massage. It’s hard to come across a place that is consistently good regardless of the massage therapist you get that day.
I have been coming to Smile Thai spa for several years now. After traveling in Thailand many years ago, I fell in love with traditional Thai massage. At both locations of this spa, I receive the most authentic and special experience by truly gifted massage practitioners. I feel profoundly lucky to have found smile thai spa.
A hidden gem! Fantastic, clean and professional establishment - I’ve been a long time client! Recently, I brought a friend here and she said it was the best massage she’s ever gotten. They ask about problem areas and are receptive to feedback. At this point it’s a staple for me after a long trip.
Been coming here for a few years. If you have tight muscles and get frustrated with the traditional spa relaxing style massages, stop going there and come here. The signature combination massage for 2 hours will set you straight.Cannot recommend this place enough.
I have been coming here with my wife for a few years. This is our favorite massage place we have been to. Couples massages are great! Always leave feeling great. Definitely would recommend visiting.
The best massage ever. 10/10! Would definitely recommend and come back again. Julie was amazing and made me feel so relaxed. Can’t wait to come back soon.
Amazing deep tissue and sports massage! This is the place to go if you need real work done on your muscles. They even incorporate walking on your back, which was a new but incredibly effective experience. My partner and I loved our couples massage. Well definitely be back!
This place is the best! Thai massage is not just a massage, they also stretch you out. They are all very skilled massage therapists in this technique. After a long work week, this is just what you need. I get here as often as I can!
I had a 90 min Thai yoga massage. It was great for my shoulders and upper back. My shoulders can be pretty tense so it’s hard to find a good masseuse, but Monica did a great job and I will definitely be back!
This is me and my fiancé second time coming and we LOVE it. These ladies are so kind, professional, and they are amazing at what they do. I workout every day and they literally cure my sore muscles and I feel like a new person again. Out of all the massage places I’ve been to this is the best!
A fantastic experience! Good amount of pressure and totally adjusted when asked. The head massage is the best part! Super kind and considerate staff, no wait time! Will be back again!
One of the best places to get a massage!! Extremely professional, clean, kind and they know how to make my back feel better almost instantly! Highly recommend for the most authentic and real Thai massage! :)
I love this spot and always go to the Union Square location, but there’s another one in Watertown. Kai is amazing, but I just had a massage with Diana and she is incredible too. The service is excellent and they offer hot tea after each massage. It feels like a true spa experience!
This is truly a great massage place. These massage therapists are highly trained in a variety of thai techniques and will use very deep pressure of you like. Friendly and professional. Would highly recommend!
We had a couples massage with Emily and Joyce and they were both amazing. Deep tissue left me so relaxed. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend.
Wonderful massage! Reasonably priced and very kind staff. They offered me tea after and took great care of me :) Will be back!
Nina was fantastic and very receptive to my needs. I play a lot of sports and lift heavy. When i tell my back and legs were destroyed, I mean absolutely destroyed. I am sitting in the lobby 2 minutes after finishing and I feel I could go run 10 miles right now! I will come here twice a month, no questions asked. Deep tissue is the way to go!Thank you Nina!
Best massage I’ve ever had in my life! The room was beautiful and my table was heated. Claire got all my knots out and I feel like a brand new person! 10/10 amazing amazing service!
Have been my regular massage place for 2 years now. Every therapist is really knowledgeable and will cater the massage to your needs. Will be visiting here in the future definitely.
Love this place! I lived in Thailand for a while and Smile Thai brings me right back. I’ve been coming here for years and I keep coming back! Highly recommend! 90 minutes is a treat.
By far the best Thai spa in Greater Boston. Been in many and haven’t gotten anything even close in terms of price, professionalism and attitude.Thank you Smile Spa! Highly recommend 👍
Excellent quality care. Claire is a very skilled, hardworking masseuse with a lot of knowledge about how to give therapeutic care. Very happy to have discovered her and this place as a resource.
I have Thai massage here over 3 times with Clair she is very professional . I really satisfied the result, always feel extremely comfortable after massage. The front desk also very friendly and welcome. Definitely be back again !!!
This was my first Thai massage and I already can’t wait to come back. The atmosphere was relaxing, all of the ladies were so nice, and it felt amazing. I would highly recommend!
WOW! The ladies here never disappoint. They are gifted and always so warm and professional. You will not be disappointed. I make it a point to regularly have a ritual of coming here with my partner and we always leave feeling refreshed.
Just had my first Thai massage - Claire was great! I love deep tissue and was an even deeper level of massage. Excellent knowledge of anatomy, etc. I feel great - Highly recommend!
Had a great Swedish massage with Kai! She was so detailed, gentle and sweet. This is my 3rd time here ! And they give complimentary tea afterwards. Excellent service !!!
I’ve been to Smile Thai Health Spa several times and I’ve had a terrific experience every time. I usually get the 60 minute massage and it is very relaxing. Highly recommended!
One of the best massages I’ve ever received, and I’ve received a lot! I shared where my sore spots were, and they focused on them perfectly. Clean, lovely place. Very kind, attentive people.
Really sweet and hardworking women who meet your individual needs. They do strong pressure really well! I’ve been here for individual and couple massages, and it has always been lovely 💞
Never had thai massage before but it was really good and willing to do it again. Only $65 Per hour with Cash and they do foot, hand, oil massages on your whole bodys. Really relaxing you will fall asleep. It little hurts the next day on my back but maybe bcoz i never done once. Willing to go there again and really recommend this place.
I have been to smile thai a few times and everytime its great. Today I had an hour session with Monica. Im recovering from a foot/ankle injury which puts a lot of pressure on my legs and she took a lot of care focusing on tight leg muscles. Wonderful :)
Highly recommend a Thai massage if you haven’t tried it. This place is also great! They are thorough and pay attention to areas you asked for more attention to and you walk out feeling energized afterwards
They were able to fit me in last minute and were very accommodating. Massage was great and the space was very clean! Will probably be back to try some of their other massage services.
The best massage shop I’ve been in Boston - tried out several places in the area but just did not compare with what you get in Asia… that is, until I found Smile Thai Health Spa - deep massage is perfect for me and feel like I’m reborn every time I come
I came in with lower back pain due to a basketball injury and the massage therapist made my pain go away. It was a great experience and Im glad I got treated. I intend to definitely return since Im an active athlete who plays basketball and soccer with my church friends.
Best place ever!!! I come here every few months and leave in a relaxed state. Love the staff, very friendly. 90 mins massage is so worth it 👌
Been coming here for a few years and always a fantastic experience. Therapists are experienced, communicative, and the massage is incredible. Such a stress and pain reliever.
Best massage in Somerville! Ask for Monica - she is amazing!!!! She used hot stones, tiger balm, does stretching, and she asks if you’d like her to walk on your back or not. 10 stars!
I recently had the pleasure (and pain) of experiencing a Thai massage at Smile Thai Health spa. My masseuse’s name was Nina. I’ve had tons of massages at many different reputable and not so cough* reputable places, but this took the cake. I was looking for a place with availability that day, and had no problem getting in. Let me tell you, it was an experience like no other! Niñas hands might as well be forged from celestial iron and titanium because the pressure she applied felt like I was being squished by the mighty fists of God himself. I swear I died seven times during that massage, but each time Niña brought me back to life with her expert techniques and soothing voice. “Relax, it’s good for youuu” she purred. At points it almost felt like she had 6 hands all working cohesively.I walked into the parlor with aches and pains, but after Niña worked her magic, I left feeling like a brand new person. She applied just the right amount of pressure of me! In fact, Im pretty sure she not only cured my tired muscles, but also vanquished any lurking cancer cells in my body! XD Who needs chemotherapy when you have Niña?! So if youre looking for a massage experience thats both outstandingly painful and positively life-changing, look no further than Smile Thai Health Spa. I will be visiting every time I am in the area.
Very professional message. I prefer the Thai message because it focuses on whole body especially flexibility and stretch the legs. Good environment and pricing. Would come again.
5 star place! My husband and I love getting massages from these incredibly talented massage therapists. Cannot wait to return!
Very accommodating for me as I just had a baby and breastfeeding. Very relaxing and attentive to detail and adapted as my body responded to various pressure points. Left feeling very refreshed. Thanks!
This was my second time at Smile Thai Health Spa and I can’t sing its praises more. They are kind and pay close attention to body mechanics. I also appreciate the flexibility of booking on the same day!
This place is absolutely amazing…they are so nice but best of all they are strong and really work out stubborn knots. The assisted stretching is also wonderful. Highly recommend!!
Smile Thai health spa is elite! The therapists spend time asking you what your focus areas are, and customize your massage to your needs. Claire was extremely helpful & professional. Will be back!
The masseuses at Smile Thai always do an INCREDIBLE job and leave me calmer and more relieved than I walked in. They’re professional, kind, and true experts of their craft. 10/10 would always recommend
Very nice and welcoming place. Scheduled same day, got very good deep tissue massage. Very friendly staff.
It was amazing. The strongest massage i ever had. Full body was incredible. I feel like i need to go rest. Super recommend.
Had a wonderful experience, extremely refreshing and relaxing and the staff was super friendly. Will certainly be back when I need massages in the future!
Great massages and a great value! Love this place - my back feels so great after each time
If you want THE BEST massage of your life, you MUST come here and ask for Rose! She is AMAZING! I just found out she also works for Leelawadee Thai Spa in Watertown, MA which is great cause I work in that area. I’ll definitely be frequenting both shops more often. Wonderful massage, relaxing atmosphere. Feeling great!!
Incredible massage therapists— extremely attentive and kind. any one you work with is experienced and will listen to your bodys needs!! ♥️
The BEST massage of my life! So much attention to detail, and such amazing staff. I5 was wonderful. Highly recommend!!
Its was the best massage l had ever.She is friendly and thas a very good job 👏
I look forward to coming here every month! Everyone is so nice and I leave feeling relaxed. If you love a deep massage/stretching this is for you!
Great place! Love the techniques & massages. Staff is extremely kind, experienced, and fantastic.
Appointments booked to close together, not giving anytime for staff to prepare and causing appointments to be late. Have the same girl do a 1 hour massage 6-7, then next 7-8... how can they expect to be on time when need to clean/prepare room first, and it just cascades from there getting later and later. Also charge more for credit card (10%), which is illegal in Massachusetts! The massage was great, staff is friendly, management/owner seems to be the problem here being too greedy with crazy credit card fee and booking appointments on top of each other!
Every time I come, I leave here feeling so much better. It relieves stress, tension and tightness. Just wish I lived closer to come more often.
Excellent message! Professional and friendly staff. They will check with you the amount of pressure you want in advance which is great! Cool little place in Union.
Smile Thai health spa is a wonderful experience for someone who wants to relax those stiff muscles. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone.
Such a wonderful massage and talented practitioners! Everything about my massage was perfect! I will definitely return!(:
I had a great experience at Smile Thai. Truly a hidden gem in Union Square— professional, welcoming, and really relaxing.
This was my first time getting a Thai massage and it was amazing! I highly recommend this place, everyone is kind and professional and talented
Chanok Gave me a thorough and excellent massage, I really feel like she worked all my knots out.if you want your body nicely worked on, try this out!
Best massage I can find in Boston area!From personal experience, if you like deep tissue massage, make sure to ask for Kai!
Very hospitable staff with great knowledge of thai massage techniques.I usually come with leg muscle and back pain and leave feeling a lot better without any pain
Had multiple massages at this place and always felt great afterwards. Highly recommend!
My girlfriend and I come here all the time for a couples massage. Always clean & always consistent. The best!
Absolutely 11/10. The best deep tissue massage I have ever gotten. I had bad back and shoulder pain for almost 10 years and after this massage I no longer have the pain. I will be recommending this place to absolutely everyone I know. The service is also very friendly and the spa is extremely clean! I hope to return very soon.
Very good. Check in and asks you how you feel. Firm prenatal massage. Have been back twice! Eden 💕
I love this place! Very reliable for a standard Thai massage - its a great combo of stretching and massage.
I’ve always had great massages at this place. The staffs are nice and the facility is super clean.
It’s our first time here and my first for Thai massage.We had 1 hr couple massage . The hospitality is another level
Awesome place, great Thai massage. Very professional therapists, friendly staff. Highly recommend!
This place is amazing! Great value. I had Monica. She was wonderful. Deep tissue. 5 stars ⭐️
Went for a 1 hour massage - left feeling relaxed and way less tight. Can’t wait to come back!
Excellent massage. Very professional and extremely soothing. I can’t wait to come back!
Love this place! everyone is very attentive and always makes sure to ask how much pressure and what areas to focus on. i always feel so much better after!
Amazing massage! Highly recommend, it was a great experience and left feeling super.
I came in with a back injury and a lot of pain and difficulty with moving. The massage was amazing and focused and I felt like a new person after.
Been going here for over 5 years, great massage therapist, service, and price! Highly recommend
Very relaxing massage! This was my second time and both have been great experiences
Had a very happy time at smile Thai spa today. Very nice and relaxed environment. Would recommend!
I’m a repeat customer at this location, all the masseuses are very knowledgeable, very attentive my specific need. They are also very ponctual and keep the rooms in top shape.
Best massage I’ve ever had. You feel better instantly! Will be back for sure
The place is very accommodating when called for a last minute booking. Although an hour was not available, I opted for a 30 minute hand and foot massage mid day. It was great and you get a discount when paying in cash. Commute to union square is easier now thanks to the new T stop.
Hands down the best massage I’ve ever gotten, and for a very reasonable price (even more so if you pay cash). I was having some neck/shoulder soreness and they were able to get me in that evening. The space is clean and calming, and my masseuse, Star, is an absolute artist at her job. Will definitely be going back!
Very relaxing environment and a great massage. Therapist was responsive to feedback and checked in with me throughout
I regularly enjoy massages at the Union Square location. Excellent service with easy online booking process.
Great massage, this place is my go-to. Theyre punctual, the environment is calm, and the massage is skilled and relaxing.
They’re great and professional. Had a 90mins massage. Feeling rejuvenated!!
It was a relaxing experience for me. I got a deep tissue message and got the relief that i was looking for. Highly recommend the place.
I only go to Thai massages and these people have mastered the art of massaging.Tips:1. Call to book appt2. Take cash (cheaper than credit card)3. Wear comfortable clothes4. Arrive early to fill out the waiver5. Let them know if you have any sensitivities or dont want anything being rubbed on you (ointments, lotions, etc)6. Relax and enjoy!
Absolutely the best massage I’ve received in awhile. Very soothing!
Best massage in the area. Clean, calming space. Left feeling 1000 better. Will be back!
Great place for massages! I come here often and love the services.
My boyfriend and I came here for a couples massage and it was amazing. The staff were attentive and the experience was extremely relaxing. They ensured you felt at home and comfortable throughout the entire session. If I ever find myself in Smiles again, I will return!
Very professional and excellent all-body massage. Therapists are very strong.
Just had a couples massage and am left feeling like a rolled up tube of toothpaste... in the best way possible!
Always makes my neck and back feel absolutely amazing plus everyone there is so nice it’s the best spot ever for real!
Came here for my first Thai message in Boston. Was a very relaxing experience. Treat yourself!
Really incredible place of healing. Emily is very skilled, left feeling rested and recovered!
Absolutely rejuvenating experience! A must-visit for anyone seeking top-notch Thaimassage therapy!
Had a couples massage and it felt very good! Would recommend
Great place if you love massage, very good place! Very good massage technique!
Not cheap, but great job. One of the best massages I have ever gotten.
Wonderful massage. Everyone has a private room providing comfort environment.
Oh! the massage was great. It was incredible. It’s the bad, ungrateful entitlement culture to people’s hard earned money called ‘required’ or wrongly tagged ‘recommended’ tips of 15%. After spending $250 in your establishment, I offered a tip of $30 willingly but you insisted it had to be $37.5. No gratitude for what was offered and taken. I only wished I didn’t give the $30 at all. It’s crass, entitled behavior and I won’t be back. If your tip must be ‘required and entitled’, by all means, include it in the bill.
Emily did an amazing job taking care of me and my nots! Highly recommend her!
If you are looking for a skilled yet relaxing massage with the option of higher than normal pressure (they offer Ashiatsu) in a controlled manner - you should look no further. I have been a regular customer here for the past few months, and was able to see tremendous results in helping me heal my left SI joint injury.I would personally recommend going with Pam with whom I have seen wonderful results!Highly recommend this place for occasional and regular massages! They also offer cash discounts
Got a couples massage and we both left feeling limber and relaxed. Very kind (and strong!) staff, who are willing to work with your needs. You can choose your level of pressure in the beginning- we went with medium and at first it seemed too hard, but it all made sense within the routine. Super effective, will definitely return!
Smile Thai is the best every time ! I feel relaxed refreshed and my body is thankful ❤️
My first Thai spa experience. Great experience, feeling a lot better with my shoulder and neck!
Great service and massage! Facility is nice and clean and easy to access.
This was a great experience. It was very relaxing with a nice atmosphere and great people. They were also very friendly.
This massage was amazing! The masseuses really know what theyre doing. As has been said in previous reviews, they used techniques that Ive never had done before (they said it was a mixture of Thai and Swedish massage techniques), and I left feeling incredible. I was so relaxed and centered afterward. Booking was easy, the price was reasonable, and the service was great! I will definitely be going back.
They focus on your entire body! I feel very relaxed after my hour session.
All the 1 star reviews are true and it doesn’t matter. The quality of the massages more than makes up for minor scheduling inconveniences. I have gone to many different massage therapists and the best ones have been here. The masseuses are very kind, accommodating of different preferences, and can quickly recognize what each body needs. If they don’t have a record of your appointment, try letting them know whether you booked it online or by phone, I believe there are two separate lists. This has happened to me and I was still able to get my appointment even though I was initially told it wasn’t booked.
I visited this facility back in the summer to have a regular Thai massage. On the form where they asked what kind of pressure you wanted, I chose medium, but the actual massage was one of the most painful experiences of my life. The masseuse used the hardest pressure possible, to the point where I cried several times and I thought they were going to break my back and legs. They could see that I was in extreme pain and I even asked them to lessen the pressure, but one of them said I chose medium pressure. That was far from medium pressure, and Ive never felt anything like it! Also, the room was very cold and at the end of the massage, they added a tip to my total charge.A few days later I got a voicemail reminding me about a follow up appointment that I did not make. I quickly called them to cancel but I found that to be a huge red flag. It was a painful and scary experience, and Ill patronize businesses that dont try to injure their customers.
Used to be great and you don’t need to pick the therapist. The past couple times I’ve had inexperienced therapist that didn’t fix any of my pain point and didn’t even perform foot walk. I had to leave a note requesting experienced therapist to get the treatment that used to be available from every therapist.
Amazing massages! I always feel so much better after coming here!
Authentic professional thai massage. Chanok is innately talented and is probably the best therapist in the world. Highly recommend!
Incredible massage! Good stretch and muscle relieve. Coming back for sureee
Relaxing atmosphere and very kind people. Massage and stretch was excellent!
Great massage and helped my back. Would recommend. .
Amazing experience with the 90 min session. I feel really limber afterwards. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend Smile Thai if you’re in need of a high quality massage!
I come here once a month. I absolutely love it. I always feel so much better!!
So when you walk in, youll be wondering why anyone would rate this place 5 stars. It is definitely not fancy, but we have been to many fancy spas across the world and had mediocre massages at most of them. If you want a healing/therapeutic massage, this is the place to go. Ill skip the frills of a hotel resort spa any day, because the most important quality of a massage is that it actually makes you feel good. Highly recommended for Thai style massage.
Really relaxing experience. Therapist was very commutative. Great for recovery
Amazing Thai Massage!! My back feels so much better. Thanks!!
Just had an AMAZING massage with Emily. It helped give me pain relief for my lower and upper back!!
Jenny was a great massage therapist and truly listened to my needs to make me feel relaxed. I HAD a pinch nerve in my neck and pain was traveling to the back of my head. In addition; I had a sprained right ankle. Jenny applied perfect pressure on both problematic areas at which I walked out of the spa pain free from my neck! My ankle is slightly swollen but the swelling definitely went down from the relaxing and therapeutic massage I was given. This is my second visit here and I will be back in the near future!
Great experience!! Perfect for after sport massage therapy.
Very friendly staff and super communicative with the booking! Feeling nice and relaxed :)
“Fantastic” I went to many Thai massage in USA. This place is the best I never had. This make me feel the same when I got Thai massage in Thailand. They know what they do. This place is professional people and Knowledge.Absolutely I will be back. This is my favorite place.
This place was wonderful, super easy to book, great to work with. My masseuse asked about specific pain and did an excellent job focusing on it throughout the session. I feel so much better. I cannot thank them enough! Highly recommend!
The quality of the messages are unbelievable and every time we go we are always left in bliss deff recommended!
First time here and loved it! Feel so relaxed. Thank you :)
Great service and easy parking!Definitely will come back.
One of the best massages I’ve ever received, highly recommend
Absolutely amazing!! Was having very bad back pain and got the deep tissue massage. All my pain is gone. They even have hot tea ready for you when you are finished. Such a great experience, will definitely be back!
Ive been here before with my fiancé, and we both loved our massages. I couldnt wait to come back here when I had a free weekend, but unfortunately, the service was not the same as I had remembered. The signature part of the massage that I was most looking forward to was when the masseuse walks on your back - this did not happen at all, which was a bit strange, but I did not mind so much since the massage itself was still pretty decent.At the end is where it gets a little weird.. as Im checking out, I hand over $140 in cash. Initially, I had thought the massage was $120, so I was always meaning to leave a $20 tip. She lets me know it was $130, and asks me Was it not good? I said, Yes, it was good! The receptionist then proceeds to pull out a piece of paper with a handwritten note that says Buy me a Budlight and how much 20% would equal i.e., 20%=$29. If you calculate it yourself, 20% of 130 is actually $26.. Anywho, besides the mathematical miscalculation, I then proceed to hand her another $20 and ask for $10 in change to stick with my original plan of leaving a $20 tip, which would have still been 15% tip for the massage. When I ask for my change, she again points to the paper and refuses to give me anything, basically just staring at me. At this point, Im feeling extremely awkward since the masseuse has also walked up during this time. She did do a good job, so I end up letting it go and not pressing the matter further.Honestly, I am all for tipping for great service, and I know these ladies work hard. However, I do not appreciate being pressured to give more of a tip when I felt like the tip I was giving was sufficient (their website even states that 10%-20% is typical). It definitely felt very shady to me, and honestly, I probably wont be coming back anymore due to that strange interaction. It sucks because I really liked this place, but at the end of the day, making your customers uncomfortable and forced to do something is not going to make them come back.
Came here twice, great spa, will definitely come more often!
Great massage. Good availability. Cash discount!
Highly recommended! I went there for the first time with my boyfriend today. We both really impressed with the service there. The place was so peaceful and relaxing with beautiful aroma smell. I always have a problem with my back from work; the lady gave me such an amazing job on cracking my back. I was like wow, this is life-changing! I never felt this great with my back before. We’ll definitely go there again.
Amazing Massage!! Found all of my knots (even those I didnt know existed). Space is clean, staff is friendly. Great experience.
Love this place. It is clean, relaxing, and the massage itself is second to none. I have battled lower back pain for some time and Smile Thai certainly helps alleviate that, as well as other stressors. I brought my wife last time I went and we got a great deal on the couples massage. We are both hooked and will be going back again soon.
Very good massage. My back feels much better.
Really good Thai massage. Pretty close to what you get in Thailand
My wife and I came here for a couple massage after a long two days of walking around the city. Although we were staying mainly in downtown Boston, we were definitely glad to have come out here and it was absolutely worth the trip. We both feel relieved and the pressure of the massage was definitely spot on. I prefer a more firm massage and they were very accommodating in making sure the pressure was right for each of us. Id recommend this place to anyone looking for a more traditional Thai massage and Im certain you will enjoy the experience.
Been here 5 times and all great experiences. Had 3 different therapists and all were excellent. I requested deep tissue and got it. Be prepared for traditional Thai which includes stretching client into certain yoga poses. Have them explain it before you start. Really great!If you use cash you get a good discount. Don’t forget to tip!
I had the best massage of my life from Emily, she is the best
Best value in Eastern mass. Place is clean, calming and beautiful. Very zen and comforting. Had Jenny and she fixed my severe back and leg pain, I generally am disappointed in lack of pressure from random massages but this was absolutely the best massage Ive had in a while. She did exactly what I needed. Best experience Ive had at a local massage place for incredible price. Ill definitely be a regular!!
Oh my goodness, what can be said about this place that hasnt been said already?There are no words that would give proper justice to such a fantastic place: staff is amazing, super kind and very professional.If I (financially) could afford it, I would go there every day for two hours each time! 😉Cant wait for my next monthly session...Wish the team a wonderful and healthy New Year.
This place is the best! I have been coming here for years and always have the best experience.
Perfect place for authentic Thai massage. They ensure we are comfortable throughout the session. They talk to you to understand if there are any focus areas and accommodate it accordingly. You get $10 off if you pay by cash.
Very good experience. Thorough and very deep massage.
Jenny did great job! She is very thoughtful and throughout during her service and applied different techniques. It was a great session!
First time getting a message and it was a wonderful experience. Definitely coming back again
Truly the most beneficial massage Ive ever had! My therapist incorporated a variety of extraordinary techniques Ive never experienced before, and I left feeling soooo much better, relieved from the pain in my neck, upper back, and shoulders, and noticeably clear-headed. Also, she was very generous with the time she spent with me.
Best Thai massage I’ve ever gotten!!! Well best massage in general. I knew I was going to like the place when I saw how clean and great it smelled. My cousin and I got a massage together and it was phenomenal. Kate and Becky were the absolute best. They were very accommodating and kept asking if everything was okay. I know I was super tight and got the stretching I needed. Now, if only I didn’t live in Virginia bc id be here every 2 weeks. Looking forward to coming again!!!! Thank you Smile Thai Health Spa for starting my vacation on the right foot 💜💜💜
The massage was great. Definitely recommend this.
I am so pleased! I work very near to Union Square, and I recently saw a sandwich board advertising massage at a place I didnt even know existed. I finally made it in today, and Im thrilled with the experience. I had a deep tissue massage which combined elements of Thai massage (including walking on parts of my body) along with other deep tissue techniques. The results are astounding, and much more effective than any of the other massages Ive had in recent years.The location is super convenient, the space is spotless, comfortable and relaxing while remaining simple and welcoming. The rates cant be beat. Ive already made an appointment for next week.Im very happy that Smile Thai Health Spa has come to Union!
One of the best massages of my life with laila!
I experienced the Signature Combination Massage. Whoa. One of the most effective & creative massages I’ve ever had. Booked the next one on the way home. No muscle gets left behind.Updated 9/4/22: last time I went for a massage, I was asked to give a larger tip. Decreasing one star.
