Sala Thai Massage, Vista CA

Badly needed a massage for the two of us after walking over 20,000steps a day and traveling so our bodies were exhausted. I called in on the same day just two hours ahead just to check they had room for us. I recommend making an appointment, but they do take walk ins. I wouldn’t go to this place if you’re expecting an American style place like a Massage Envy or something like that. You will not get a full service and if you’re used to English speaking places, this is NOT an American spa zone. This is more of an authentic Thai massage establishment with incredible prices for the type of professional and relieving massage you’ll receive here. They’ll take out all the knots and really knead your problem areas (do your research and tell them what you want and where your problem areas are and they’ll take care of you). We couldn’t communicate with them very well, but people who are well traveled and have been to different countries know that the truly authentic spots are the place to go. Anyway, the rooms are small and walls are thin, but the masseuses are highly skilled and know what they’re doing. I got a combo massage between Thai and Swedish which was perfect for me (included oils) and my partner received the full Thai massage. They work your back and legs (I asked for focus on those areas, but they did work on my shoulders and neck too) and it was so relieving. During the massage some parts hurt getting the knots out, but my masseuse was always checking in with me and saying “sorry” but I knew this was the way to relieving my tensions. Honestly, the pressures and targeting kneading truly helped my body release all the stress and pains - I REALLY FELT SO MUCH BETTER AFTERWARDS AND SLEPT LIKE A BABY! They gave us water afterwards and told us to hydrate, relax and don’t work out after this massage and just to rest. It was the best and much needed massage for the end to our day. Prices are incredibly reasonable for what you’re getting - other places charge so much more, but this is the real deal. Would definitely return for a full body and maybe specifically a foot massage next time too.

As a massage therapist, I strongly recommend Phen if you are in need of deep pressure and/or assisted stretching to help increase mobility and range of motion. She is highly skilled at what she does and knows how to target specific issues.

I dropped in late for hot oil massage after working out at the gym. I have a muscular body that may be challenging for some masseurs to work on. Fortunately, D was able to work on me without an appointment. He has great hands.and is very strong and performed awesome full body massage. I will definitely use him again

The massage was excellent and price reasonable; however, the therapist Dee was invasively touching my genitals.

I would not recommend this massage place to anyone. The lady at the front desk was too busy to even pause or turn off her tv, to greet me. My masseuse lady didn't even ask me what kind of massage I wanted, and the form they make you fill out as a new guest is useless because no one reads it. During my massage the girl was on her phone most of the time, and when I told her I didn't like the stretching part she said 'you should of asked for a swedish massage' umm I would of if somone would of asked me! Such a disappointed experience since I read great reviews about this place.

This is one legit Thai massage place. I have seen Joe several times and wow do I feel better.starting about 24 hours afterwards. Within that period, I feel like a spousal abuse victim, but bear thru it and I have relief like I have rarely ever gotten. This is not a spa experience; this is to go fix what's wrong with you. And Joe is a master at fixing you. Treat yourself to relief and go.

Really sweet owner, nice caring therapist who showed me new stretches after my massage that made care at home so much more effective!

Great massage but if you want a quiet relaxing massage you need to specify that you prefer no talking during the massage.

They saved my life. LITERALLY! I my legs were cramping and I could have swore the pulled a blood clot out of my leg. Truth be known if I didn't get a Massage every now and then, my body would die from lack of human affection

Very intimate setting where attention to detail is foremost. You will feel great and happy you came. Also, advise your Massager of your pain tolerance.

Owner was rude and took money from her staff member. Also admin did not communicate right service to therapist - who was AWESOME! It's the owner who is rude to her clients.

I had a long session of poker played 11 hours straight went home slept 3 hours and got up feeling
terrible. I was Soar all over So decided to go get a real Thai massage. I found Sala Thai massage in Vista and I’m sure glad I did it was Fantastic! The hour Thai was great I was feeling so good when I left home highly recommended.
