Okay it feels like time to update the review. I will often look for the most recent good and poor review to make a decision. Yes it is 3 years later and yes the whole family goes only to Zen Foot Spa. When I am in Bejing I do feel like the foot massage may be a little better, but we go for the deep tissue almost once a month. Nothing else in China Town beats this place. In the last 2 years I have had only one massage that was very slightly disappointing. I guess this means 23 out of 24 times the experience was outstanding and once it was just good.
There has been some turnover lately. I am happy to say the new people Peter has hired keep getting better. Today I just had an exquisite massage. He attacked my stiff neck and thoracic. My scalenes surrendered and all of the hot spots in my upper back are gone. My shoulders finally are loose enough to do reverse prayer. He spent real quality time on my feet and for that my bottom half is very grateful. My lower back which has suffered through surgery has not one complaint at this moment. There is a freedom of movement in my body that doesn't normally exist.
I wish I knew the practitioners name because I would love to request him again. He was already working again by the time I pulled my hair back and got Mom dressed. I don't usually request anyone special because Peter knows who to assign to my family. Mom gets a gentle, but invigorating massage. She doesn't walk Frankenfooted anymore afterwards. I like it deep and almost painful because that is more effective for me. Our son thinks he likes a sports massage. He is always happy. My husband just likes it good. He is always smiling after. I can't say enough nice things about this place and everyone I have sent there was pleasantly surprised.
I describe the place as a grade C for decor, but it is always clean. The price is so outstanding I can look past old linoleum. The consistency of the quality of the massage makes it a grade A establishment. I always tip well because it is so cheap. It is the best time you can have for $40.00 in Las Vegas.
