Zhen Zhen

By far the best foot reflexology I ever had! The place is clean and friendly, and the services are professional. Went with a friend and we both were extremely pleased. Ask for ‘Master Hung’ — he is the best in there hands down.

I got really squicked out from this place because the person who was doing my massage scraped my feet with his fingernails!!! EW!!! Isn’t that how bacteria gets spread? He was using his bare hands!!! What if he picked his nose before? What kind of gunk did he have under his nails? What if he broke skin?!
Just thinking about it makes my hair stand up. Also, it’s my opinion that anyone doing any kind of massage therapy has no business keeping long nails.
The place was kind of run down, didn’t look very clean, and the massage therapists were WAY too chatty. The massage itself was okay. Plus at the end, when I gave $ 40 ($ 30 for the massage, I intended to give $ 5 for a tip because I know they rely on tips, even though the service really wasn’t so great), they basically refused to give me any change and told me that I am obligated to provide a tip. I was going to, but not $ 10!
Not coming back.

My experience at Zhen Zhen did not live up to those posted in past reviews on Unilocal.
I was greeted warmly by a lovely lady and told her I wanted a foot massage. She said it would be $ 30 for 60 minutes — 15 minute foot soak and 45 minute massage, which seems to be the going rate in the area. FYI — they do not accept credit or debit cards, it is cash only. I agreed, and she brought into one of their rooms. It was not particularly luxurious — old chairs, open doorways, and half walls between the rooms. They brought in a bucket of warm water which had a tea bag in it, then left me to soak my feet. I appreciated that she brought me the wifi password, although it could have been because I had asked if they had wifi prior to agreeing to the service. My foot soak lasted for approximately 7 – 8 minutes befor my masseuse came in. First he started to scrape at my feet wiht his fingernails — in bare hands! He dried my feet /​legs and began to slather them with vaseline and got to work.
Overall, I would say my experience was mediocre. It was only my second foot massage, but it was not as good as my first. I kept on asking the masseuse to use firmer pressure (go harder), but it did not seem to make any difference in what he was doing. The massage itself probably lasted around 35 minutes, so I was in and out in about 45 minutes. At the end, my feet and legs were a greasy mess, so I asked the lady if I could soak them again. For some reason she said that I couldn’t, but offered me a warm wet towel instead. I took her up on this and she wiped down my legs for me. It was only when I was leaving that I was offered water or tea. This was a bit odd to me as I would have liked to enjoy those during the actual massage.
Given that there are so many other similar places in Chinatown that offer the 60 minute foot massages for $ 30, I will try another option before returning to Zhen Zhen.

Zhen Zhen was a great find! Very reasonable and the therapists were great.

I’ve been looking for a good foot massage place for a while now and I finally found it! This place isn’t super modern and you have to go up some sketchy stairs but once you get used to it… totally worth it! My foot masseuse was amazing, he had good pressure — bordering pain– but totally worth it cause… no pain no gain! I can’t wait to come back here!

Exactly what I was looking for. I went for the 60 minute foot massage. Very relaxing and inexpensive (only $ 30). Definitely recommend and I will be going back!

Located right in the hustle and bustle of Chinatown, the signage was clearly displayed and easy to find. Plus based on Unilocalers recommendation, this was the place to go for an inexpensive and good massage.
Going up the stairs seemed a little sketchy because of the battered and scuffed up walls, but once inside Zhen Zhen it was an oasis of zen. Decent size sitting area where we were welcomed by a friendly female staff. The massage room we were in was a decent size and clean. That’s the key importance of any massage place, it has to be clean. They provided us with green teas in styrofoam cups which I wished was served in paper cups.
Price was very reasonable and comparable to other places in Chinatown. The foot massage priced at $ 30 consisted of 15 minutes herbal soak and 45 minutes reflexology session.
The herbal soak literally consisted of a herbal tea bag in warm water placed in a plastic lined basin. Soak was quite timely and the masseur who was assigned to me greeted me warmly. My friend had a masseuse, but was switched to a masseur within 5 minutes. Guess he was running late or perhaps she had another appointment.
Although a little painful at first since it has been awhile since I last had a foot massage, it turned out quite pleasant and I felt my foot relaxing with each touch and pressure the masseur entailed on my runner’s foot. I definitely had a lot of knots and tight muscles that needed prodding.
I engaged in small talk with the masseurs (asking them how long they’ve been doing foot reflexology), but that didn’t last too long as I somewhat felt uncomfortable with my friend’s masseur. Perhaps it was just me, but I didn’t get a good vibe from him whereas my masseur was pleasant and friendly. I also had a feeling they were talking about us in Mandarin, but luckily for them I don’t understand or I would have said something back. I tried not to let it bother me, so continued to chat with my friend and enjoyed the rest of the massage.
Other than that, it was quite the enjoyable experience and we left with our feet feeling light and airy, plus free of all tightness and tension that we arrived with.
I will probably go back for another foot massage and perhaps try their full body massage because the price is definitely right and very affordable.

Loved the massage here! It’s very cost efficient, friendly, and the massage skills are amazing. I’ll never pay over $ 100 for a massage again, when I can come here.

I am picky when it comes to foot reflexology but I have to say this place is not bad and very good price. The massage therapist is knowledgeable and good amount of pressure. Would definitely come back again.

This is a proper foot reflexology place!!!
A good foot reflexology place is determined if I end up crying during the session. The therapist made sure of that and worked out all of the kinks. After the session, I felt like I could walk on water!

I visited Chinatown and this massage place was right next to where I was staying. After walking around for many hours in flip flops, I hobbled up the stairs to this place and was greeted by Anna. I opted for the foot/​body massage and she really worked my feet hard which felt painful at first, but it was because I had so many aches from walking all day. After the food massage I felt like sleeping, but then went for the body massage. Having her walk on her knees across my back to hear popping of vertebrae, I felt instant relaxation and stress melt away from the firm pressure of her hands. She is very sweet and a great smile, although she does not speak a lot of English, she can understand when to press harder or softer. The best massage I have had in many years.

Other than constantly Chinese speaking in the background, massage was good. It was like I wanted; 45 min body (i told them to focus on my back and they did) + 15 min foot massage (i’ve traded this for a head massage). Total was $ 50 +tip. It really freshened me up as I was jet lagged and got cold because of weather change. But you need to talk to your masseuse, their massage is quite strong, actually it was the strongest I had. But it was to the point so when I left the building my back was renewed and my headache was gone. Might look a little shabby to you but I’m used to it as I lived in Malaysia and had Chinese massage in Langkawi, Penang and Kuala Lumpur.

The foot massage was great. The foot soak was cut short (5 minutes instead of 10), but for the price I was okay with that. Really good value! It’s a bit loud so don’t expect total relaxation.

We came across this place due to their sign on the street. While walking in Chinatown and having walked 10 km the day before this massage deal sounded great. I originally was interested in the lymphatic massage but when I came in and asked about it they didn’t seem to know what I was talking about. Only one of the girls spoke English well and she was really asking about if we had pain etc so I knew it would be better to just get my second choice. $ 50 for a 15 min soak 45 min reflexology and a 30 min body massage. The ladies were both really good. The space they had was nice and the massage rooms were roomy and clean. The foot massage was fabulous! It was only 30 minutes though, and since my friend had a blister on her foot she didn’t want the soak, but I did so that was cut short for me as well about 5 min was all I got. I got the full 30 min body massage but they had to call in a different girl for that since one of the girls «regulars» came in but that was OK and my body massage was really good. I think she actually got my back to crack. I’m only deducting one star for the fact I was in there a little over an hour and the deal should have been an hour and a half. They had tried to up sell by telling us about getting a longer body massage if our backs were hurting that would be better so I kinda thought when we went in for the body part they would make up the 15 min. But that didn’t happen my lady was done right on 30 min. But over all it was a good deal. Perhaps if you come here just get the foot massage it is fabulous and you wont lose any time if they are only doing that for you. Definitely worth going upstairs for, you will not be disappointed in the skill these ladies have. They really get those spots on your feet and use tools to give you the acupressure/​reflexology.

Looks like your typical chinese massage salon but they’re really good! Just had the best Chinese foot massage ever. Prices are great: 60 minutes for $ 30.
