My feet has been feeling taut for weeks and I was missing my foot massages from SF, then I came across this place. Madison has many chinese massage places come and go. There used to be one in west town mall that I wasn't impress with.
Then there is this place. Came in after lunch nearby and there was no other customers so I got the place all to myself. Yan, the massage lady was very professional and courteous. She put on done light music, made a call to get another staff to come on to man the front desk before fetching the bucket of hot tea / water. It was hot because my feet were cold from the outside. Within a few seconds,they were in haven.
The process is well described by others. I just want to share that this place is as good as the one I go to in SF. The only difference is price. Out in SF, I have the same 60 min massage for $25! Here it was $50, which is is comparable to other places in madison.
I have to say this is the best chinese massage place I have visited in madison. Give it a try. Wear loose clothing as it is a clothe massage. Be prepared to fall asleep. That's how comfortable it was for me. And for the final round of back massage, medium is plenty unless you like it rough.
