My husband & I have benefited greatly from Dr. Wang's expertise in helping to recover from various & very painful injuries. Her clinic on Wentworth St in Chinatown is spacious, very clean and has a calming atmosphere.

Save your money and go somewhere else. This is the worst massage I’ve had in my entire life. First of all the masseuse barley touched my skin he put a towel over my body and did not even use oil or any moisture. He was basically pushing down on my neck and back most of the 60 minuets session. Not to mention the noises coming from the other rooms.

Both Acupuncture dr. are great. I prefer Grace just because she's more gentle, The founder is amazing but her treatments tend to hurt a bit more. The Cupping and Massage are not for the weak! they are pretty hardcore and they get the job done! 1 week ago I was in complete pain, Today i'm going to workout pain is gone : )

Do not waste your money. Massage was around 50 minutes instead of 60 minutes. Paid $60 for a massage... Full body massage where he literally did only my back, no feet, no head, legs, nothing! When I was about to leave he pointed at a paper saying “thank you for tips”, I was like ok, I’ll give him couple of bucks even though I was not happy. He wrote on paper number 22, I was like no, that’s too much. So he didn’t speak English whatsoever, and I wrote on paper $8. He was looking at me like nonono, and wrote $10. I gave him card pointing at $8 and he ran it once, it did not go through, he tried second time for $10. I snatched my card and gave him what I had in cash which was $3. I should’ve left without giving anything whatsoever. A rip off!!!!!

So where should I start: "NOT RECOMMENDED" 1) I had a Groupon voucher and the lady at the reception did accept it but just asked me not to use Groupon vouchers from next time. That was rude. 2) Went for a Full body massage but my hands and legs were hardly touched for 5 mins. I was not even asked to turn around as he was just playing with my back. Kept on repeating the same movements. 3) There are no doors so the masseuse kept on looking out and talking. I felt like he had a phone in his hand as I heard him laughing and just using one hand for the massage. How can you have a phone in your hand while you are massaging someone. 4) I asked him to reduce the pressure but he kept on applying force with his elbows and thus leaving me in pain even after massage. 5) The timer which they have runs faster than the normal clock as before lying down I did check my watch and I was short of 5-7 mins. I have been to other places which are way better than this place and relaxing. Save your time and money and do not go to this place.

60 $ 1h massage not bad. forced 15$ tip not acceptable and when you asked for record of transaction , doctor is not available. don't waste your money here consider this as an advice.

Went with my girlfriend to get massages after seeing a 2 for $85 on Groupon. I called to schedule an appointment for us and the lady told us to just come in so we did the next day and to not buy the Groupon. When we came in, she told us 2 massages would be $90, so I showed her that the Groupon (the same one she told us not to purchase) said 2 for $85. She argued me for the $5 difference, so to avoid a hassle I agreed. Fast forward to the massage, I had a male masseuse and he was nothing short of great. The deep tissue massage was one of the better ones I received and I have been getting them at least once a month for years. My girlfriend got the lady, and was in a booth close to me. While I was getting a massage I heard the lady answer the phone (while massaging my girlfriend) and stepped out of the room even. She was yelling out the prices for massages, not a very good experience for both of us. My girlfriend said her massage was unremarkable, that she had her butt out in the open several times, and that her cervical spine was uncomfortable after the massage. Rationale for my 3 star rating: I give the male masseuse 5 stars, he knows how to deliver a quality deep tissue massage. I deducted 1 star for having to pay $5 more than the Groupon sale, which if I bought would have left the business with less profit after Groupon took their cut. I deducted another star for answering the phone and leaving the massage room (she should consider getting a receptionist or forwarding the calls to voicemail, just my opinion). Finally, I deducted a third star for the shady stunt the lady pulled at the end. My girlfriend asked to break a $20 for a tip and she said something along the lines of “ok but 2 10’s” knowing that she was going to leave her a tip. I asked if she had a $5 or 5 singles to which she responded swiftly with a ”no”. I find it hard to believe a massage center doesn’t have smaller denominations of bills. I happily tipped my masseuse. We ultimately gave the lady a $10 tip not because she was professional or honest, but because I felt pity for her as a result of our experience. If you do go here, ask for the male masseuse in advance and buy the Groupon.

I have never had a bad experience here. I go for cupping and massage, and it always helps greatly with pain. This place is definitely not for everyone though. It’s not a relaxing Massage Envy style spa experience. It will be painful, but it will be worth it. They know what they’re doing!

Jenny was great. Very professional and she listened very attentively to my requests. I experienced acupressure and also very good deep massage. She was very pleasant.

I think this place is great- ***but people should know what to expect. This is a REAL Chinese acupuncture/massage place. It's not been very Americanized. Like. at all. It's not plush, it's not super relaxing, it's not well decorated. It's noisy. It's more like a hospital in there with just plain curtain dividers between the, ahem, "rooms". Some people find there's a language barrier, but I don't have any problem with it there whatsoever. If you speak slowly, and simply, it's no problem. If there's any doubt whatsoever- make sure you have Google Translate on your phone. Get that app before you go to Chinatown. I started going here because I needed acupuncture for migraines. I went to Dr Wang's for a while, and she is great at what she does. Then later, I started going for massage. If you buy massages in bulk (as in 5-6 massages at one time, you can get a hefty discount on them.) I go for the full body massage, not foot massage. They have a rotating staff from China, and (most) of them have been excellent. Half the staff is men, and half are women. Often, the very best massage therapists in Chinatown are to be found here. It's not for the faint of heart in there. But you can get very good pain relief there.
