| - Clean, friendly, and competent service. This was the typical Chinatown massage, but with inflated prices to compensate for the shi-shi neighborhood and slightly more posh surroundings than you'll get directly in Chinatown.
I had the 60 min reflexology and it was lovely. Though I don't feel as though the therapist had much in-depth Chinese Medicine knowledge. Just a rote performance of the basic reflexology-based relaxing foot massage. Relaxing, moderately therapeutic, and nice. While I love nature documentaries, I did find the gigantic screen tv being on in the room to be extremely distracting. I'd personally prefer just to space out to gentle music, rather than have a bright television burning into my eyelids. But I realize some people would really enjoy it.
If you want to pay a bit more money for the more pleasing surroundings, I'd go for Foot Happy Spa (hilariously similar name) at Bloor & Spadina. Same prices, same style massage and packages, but the masseuses there know a good deal more traditional theory & practice and you can get some real serious treatment there.
But overall this was a really nice place, and I'd certainly go again if another Groupon came my way for it!
