Garfield Spa - Monterey Park, California

If you’re looking for a good massage in Monterey Park, Garfield Spa is worth a try. This place is a great choice for anyone seeking a quality massage without paying high-end spa prices.

I’ve been here twice, and my second time was with Fiona. She knows her technique and made sure the pressure was just right.
I enjoyed the hot stone massage; it was relaxing. Some parts of the massage were a little painful, but all I had to do was let Fiona know, and she adjusted the pressure. The place is clean, but the walls are thin, so you’ll hear people talking.

Next time I come back, I will ask for Fiona. She checked in regularly to make sure I was comfortable.

Where to start. I had an appointment but still waited past my time. The door wasn’t fully closed when she was doing my massage and I could hear people walking by which was uncomfortable. She answered the phone mid massage and I did not feel relaxed at all. And to top it off when I tipped she said I needed to tip more in her words “$10 tip” which was more than 20% gratuity to begin with and I could see her looking in my purse where I had cash. Tip is optional it is not required. I told her tip is optional and based on my experience I do not need to tip $10. I’ve never felt so disrespected and disappointed.

Honestly one of the best massages I’ve had in LA. I’m just mad I can’t recall who my massage therapist was. Because the rates are so affordable, please tip your therapist fairly aka 20% of what it might cost elsewhere.

I loved it here the first couple times I went. However I stopped going after two times receiving a massage that was less than satisfactory. It was later in the day. Maybe they were tired the first bad one. The second one I had that was bad was earlier in the day and the massage was subpar and felt almost chaotic like they had no clue what they were doing. I never felt relaxed after 🙁

I honestly don’t think it was great because the lady stepped on my back thinking it was okay never did they ask me if I wanted that. I was out of breath while they did that. I think it was a Horrible massage technique but they know more than me. The rest of the massage was great except that part.

I absolutely love this Spa! For those who tip $5 and nothing else, please save it for yourself. As a Massage Therapist myself, $5.00 is considered a tip of unsatisfactory. These MT’s work above and beyond, and I am so happy to be going back!!! Thank you for the amazing service.

3 visits all 5/5. I wish I could keep giving more 5 star reviews.

One of the very few places in the area that do deep tissue right. My deep tissue massage was fantastic from start to finish. It was a combination of Swedish, deep tissue, and some stretching, but at $50/hr it’s a great value. Perfect pressure. The woman at the front and the massage therapist were so nice. The room was warm and cozy. I walked in, no appointment, and got a massage immediately. Unlike the other low budget options around here, this places feels comfortable and safe. I’ll be coming back regularly 😌

Edit: came back again and it was incredible. I got a deep tissue massage again but this time it was definitely deep tissue the whole time. I walked away feeling like I had a new body. I definitely need to rest and rehydrate following that massage. It was highly effective.

This place is a hidden gem in Monterey Park! Very clean, cute & chic. My masseuse was a nice lady named Julie. I went in with a stiff neck & upper back after whiplash due to a car accident. The massage was very good. Julie was so carrying & kept checking to see if the pressure she was putting was OK with me. I got the 40 dollar mixed massage which includes hot stone massage. Everything was perfect. Julie helped relive the tension in my body. I’ll definitely will be coming back again. Highly recommend this place. I called to make my
appointment and when I got there, I was immediately escorted to my room. This place is popular so call ahead for availability.
