Imperial Foot Massage

Great massage, really strong. It hurts so good. Will definitely be back soon!

The pressure point on my foot was right on. Peter did a great job and probably on of the best foot massage in Seattle.

I always go to Amy —
If you find a good masseuse you will keep going back there —
Not everyone one is as skilled as the other (Hint)
But this place is awesome: You will feel like a $ 1M after your massage :)

This place was horrible to our standards. My fiancé and I came here during our anniversary weekend in Seattle and it was beyond packed in a little space. Everyone working, was talking. My fiancé’s guy was coughing on him, which we think is how he got sick, but could just be coincidence. And ppl in Seattle must be so tense they need a deeper than deep kneading massage, because we left in absolute pain, to the point we couldn’t even sleep that night. Everyone has their own opinions and likes, but this was definitely NOT for us. Total waste of money we will never get back.

What a great deal this is! For only $ 27, I got a terrific foot massage. Considering all the lounges in the room, it felt very private. The seating was comfortable and relaxing. My only complaint is that if you need anything specific, it’s difficult to communicate it. I think I just got the general massage that everyone gets rather then working on my problem spots. However, for the price, you can’t beat it. And I will do this again.
Oh, and did I mention the free parking?

What do I expect from a crowded room full of Chinese masseuse? Pain.
It was a painful experience. I felt him digging into my rib cage with his elbow like he wanted to murder me. I couldn’t breathe for a sec. The scalp massage felt awkward as well. After finishing, I noticed that they don’t wash their hands so I’m pretty sure there was stranger’s foot scum from other people were on my scalp afterwards.
Motto: Cheap gets you cheap of course.

Ahh… Luxurious massages are nice but you’re tired from a long day and don’t want to hassle for a booking I would definitely recommend here. All you have to do is drive over here after work or from the gym when you’re sore. No need to call ahead or anything! The prices here are so affordable! Literally unbeatable! For one hour, they give you a full body massage from your head, arms, legs, back and neck. They also do a foot soak with a reflexology massage all in one hour for around 43 dollars! I always get a woman masseuse since I don’t like being touched by men but don’t think they can’t put pressure on you because they are pretty strong! I always get up feeling like a noodle but it is seriously so relaxing. If you and your partner have nothing to do, definitely give this place a try! The only thing that may bother some people is that this massage place is set up Chinese style. It’s a public massage, so it’s a big room and reclining chairs are next to each other. But the chairs are spaced out well from each other and the room is very dark. They cover you with towels for warmth and privacy/​sanitary reasons and they play relaxing music so it really isn’t too much to worry about.

Let me just get the important stuff out of the way first.
If you’re someone who only likes to go to upscale spas for massages, worries about whether or not something has been cleaned recently, or if someone is properly trained, then this place isn’t for you.
If you’re okay with going to a little hole in the wall massage spot where there’s no privacy, nothing fancy, and the usage of rough towels, then this place will be okay for you.
The massages here are your typical Asian massages, very similar to what you’ll experience in Asia. It’s not really about relaxation. It’s more like, let me rub your feet really gently while I place a warm washcloth over your eyes so you can’t see and then randomly smack the hell out of your ankles and pinch your toes. Honestly, I’m perfectly fine with this though. I paid $ 43 for a 75 minute combo massage. It’s about $ 90 for an hour at my regular spa, so this was quite the deal for me. I knew what to expect when going in, as well. Although, when I first walked in, I was a little put off by how close all the massage chairs were. But it’s actually really quiet in there and I felt like I was in my own room once I zoned out. The man giving me my massage said maybe one word during the whole time and it was to ask if the pressure was okay.
If you’re like me and just like a good massage, whether super professional or not, this is a coo place for you to come to. Again, you can’t walk up in here being high maintenance. You ain’t at Gene Juarez, booboo! Come in here with an open mind and enjoy.

After a really, really LONG day of exploring Seattle by foot, I couldn’t think of a better way to relax than a foot massage. I got a lot more than I expected here and for just $ 27, they made my head, shoulders, back, feet, and arms feel 1000% better! Definitely don’t expect exclusive spa treatment as this place is a traditional Asian massage. There are no private rooms, so it can be a little awkward at first.
I had a woman masseuse and Whoa! did she beat me up… At first the pain was a little overwhelming, but I think she calmed down after seeing me tense up a bit. My friends had males and they left a little sore, which is unfortunate.
I definitely think $ 27 was worth that hour and I felt rejuvenated enough to keep exploring Seattle by foot the rest of the weekend.

$ 27 for an hour. I should just stop there haha. This is a great experience and we go almost once a week. Usually Sunday night at 9 pm and there’s always several people there. The service is great and massage is good as well. They start by soaking your feet and working on your head and arms and continue from there. Downers for me is its a large open room with probably 20 chairs and you can hear a lot so not most relaxing in that sense. Other element I’ve noticed is the place slightly smells of cigarettes not my favorite.

It’s hard to complain when your hour-​massage is only $ 27 bucks.
This place packs a lot of massage chairs into a small area, I have no idea how they do it. I elected to go with the $ 27 combo massage special (cash only for special). The female massage therapist I had didn’t really apply any pressure to my body, it was pretty weak. At times, it felt like she was just soothing my back with her hand only. My therapist focused primarily on rubbing my head and stretching my body out. The foot massage portion was inadequate and definitely not 45 minutes long.
I found myself dozing off at times during the massage, so I guess it couldn’t have been that bad? The atmosphere is pretty relaxing and like I said, the rates are very inexpensive. Come in here with low expectations and you will be fine. There is free garage parking because Imperial Foot Massage is located inside the mall.

OMG you cannot beat the price for this 1 hour full body massage! He found every knot and worked them all out. He spent extra time on the areas I was most tight which my body so needed! Best body message you can get with your clothes on! You will not be disappointed!

The space: An open room with 15 – 20 massage chairs, staff standing around the back wall, a small reception by the front corner, pretty much zero lighting, and easy parking in what seems like a building under renovation. Not very spacious! I was never fully relaxed listening to the receptionist answering the phone and hearing all the whispers and creaks from other customers. Staff are nice but not very formal, the language barrier is definitely there so be mindful.
The massage: We did the $ 27 for 1 hour special which advertises for 45 minutes of foot massage and 15 minutes of body massage. In reality, it felt more half and half. There wasn’t enough emphasis on the feet and the massage felt rushed, like the masseuse was just going through the movements to be done. I appreciate that he spent an extra few minutes on my left shoulder after I told him about it being problematic, but that’s not what I came here for.
The verdict: Ya get what ya pay for. I don’t know if I would return but I’d certainly recommend this to anyone looking for an inexpensive rub!

YES. Just YES.
This place is really awesome. When I first got there around 9 on a Monday, there were already like 5 people there but we were still able to get service immediately so that was great. I was a bit hesitant at first because the chairs were pretty close to each other, the space seems a bit crowded.
Yeah, don’t worry about that. The minute the guy started massaging, I was transported to some heaven. Even the music freaking cooperated. There were some angels «ah ah ah”-ing in the background that really added to the whole experience. The massage was a bit different from what I’ve usually seen. They use a rolling technique with their forearm more than the kneading kind of thing. It felt pretty good during and two days later Im still feeling pretty darn good.
The guy that I had was «BeiYo”(?) I dunno but he could definitely deliver the pressure.
Protip: if you want a stronger massage get Beiyo (?)

Great massage at a fantastic price. We ended up walking to the ID late on Christmas Day and this was our first stop. Good thing we called ahead as it was packed! Don’t let the first impressions fool you, the chairs are massive and comfy, masseuses are professional and know what they are doing.

When a friend told me she had a massage spot where you could get 45 minutes for $ 27 where you keep your clothes on, I thought, that’s weird but OK, I can get with that. When we pulled into an empty parking garage and stepped into a near-​abandoned strip mall, I thought it was a bit sketchy and was having serious doubts.
When we stepped inside, I was a little jarred to discover that this was a communal experience — a detail that she had left out of the description. I looked across a big, dark room at a bunch of people in recliners and towels over their faces, and was beginning to wonder exactly what I’d gotten myself into. But it was too late to back out, so I plopped in a chair and resigned to the experience.
I ended up super impressed with the quality of my massage. Full-​body with a foot soak and reflexology, which I desperately need on a regular basis due to wearing heels so much. It would be nice if, at the end, they gave you a second to get your bearings before being pretty much kicked out of your chair, but for the cost and quality, I overlook it.
I have since become a regular, often springing a few extra bucks for a 90-​minute massage. And, after accepting that I’ll never be able to fully relax with an acute awareness of people around me and coming in and out, I now roll with headphones, which minimize the distraction and allow me to zone out. Just a little tip if you do this — wait until about 10 minutes in when they are done with your head and neck. Earbuds will definitely interfere with their access to your ear lobes.

Coming from NYC I have really high expectations for reflexology massages. This place is overall a good experience. I’ve been here 4 times and only had one bad experience. I usually get the 75 minutes. I would advise to bring cash for the tip.

If you’re looking for a cheap foot/​shoulder massage, here is an option to consider. $ 27 gets you a scalding hot foot bath, followed by a foot massage in what appears to be a large room shared by 20 other patients and 20 other staff.
The space is cramped and crowded. You’re hardly 8″ away from the next guest receiving either a back massage or enjoying a hot soak. With the moans and groans of appreciation shared by other individuals, it’s a little too close for comfort.
Making a reservation in advance, I still had to wait 30 minutes upon arriving on time. This place fills up quick and it seems like people even like to come here in groups. The waiting area is 3 chairs only so if there are a lot of people waiting (read: more than 3) be prepared to wait outside.
Close to ID and a lot of the popular restaurants, Imperial Foot Massage is in a convenient location. With parking in an adjacent multi level structure, this parlor is as convenient as they get.
As for the massage itself, I’ve had better. It’s hard to tell the masseuse to apply more pressure as your voice will likely carry across the room and over 10 others will hear you as well. For $ 27, you get what you pay for.

I’ll definitely be back. Felt cleaner and more legit than Meng’s and they were able to get in 9 of us at once for a team event (we called ahead). They have these big red recliner chairs that fold down and have holes for your arms.
The guy I got was only so so, light touch and didn’t have any sense of what was tight or not. But the others in our group loved their people, so I’ll roll the dice another time.

Welllll, okayyyy, it’s a cost-​effective way to get those tired, achy muscles kneaded, but honestly, I’m conflicted and a bit disgusted by this place. I’m sure it happens in many places, but…
It’s a dark room with maybe 15 chairs. I think I’ve seen a tiny room inside it, too, with more chairs. Clothes are kept on, feet are soaked in hot water in the beginning, and a great, powerful massage commences.
I’ve come here twice and happened to get the same guy both times. He was polite and not kidding about pressure, which I liked and desperately needed. It was good! I felt like a different person after each of the massages.
What bugged me, though, was that the second time, in the middle of my 75-​minute session, he went to the bathroom, which my chair was just outside of. I heard the flush, and then he was back to me in a millisecond. I didn’t hear the faucet.
Which means he didn’t wash his hands.
WHUOAGGGHHHHHHGGGHHHHHHFFFFFFGGGGG.
I didn’t make a big deal out of it. It was gross, but instead of feeling like I wanted to complain, I felt really sorry for the dude. This place is a mill, and I don’t know if these workers get to take much of a break at all during the day. It didn’t seem like that to me, as they were always just ordered to go from chair to chair, and this place is always super-​busy.
Anyway, that’s the scoop. It just doesn’t make me feel… good. Not the massage, just the whole going-​there business. I don’t know if I’ll ever return.
