Korean / Foot Massage in Little Saigon Vietnamese or Chinese Therapist
Anihasu (Hello, in Korean)
I have had a full shaitsu for $15 in Little Saigon on a chair, exotic massage with hot stone. I tip the shaitsu therapist well compared to the normal foot massage and I know her for a long period and I trust her fully. Hard to make an appointment with shaitsu therapist as the place is not structured for it. I have had my share of injury too. Be careful and speak up before it is too late.
Full body massage for $30 or 2 hour foot massage with certain therapist is worth considering.
I have yet to see a korean in a foot massage place in Little Saigon or Garden Grove. It is too demanding and hard work to say the least. The price is too low from a Korean business model. I do see this service offered in Ktown and I have not experienced it to comment.
Many women come to these places during the day time. Dressing accordingly.
If you find a Korean foot massage for $15 in Little Saigon or GG pease let us know.
Have fun!
Anihasu (Bye in Korean)
[QUOTE=Tamno3; 1042092]I was just chilling in my room watching a Jet Li flick when a female friend hit me up and asked me to go to a massage place with her. She insisted it was a very good spot, and she just wanted someone to go with her. I thought what the hell. It'd be a nice break from the usual mongering. So off I went.
The place is called My Happy Feet MK Reflexology on Brookhurst and Bolsa, on the 1st floor. I must say up front that this place is 100% legit (they have both male and female staff). You're not going to get any extras here. HOWEVER, if a nice, relaxing massage is all you want, then you'll be more than pleased.
The place was half packed when we arrived (around 9:30pm on a Friday). It was very nice and cozy with ambient red lighting and soothing, ethereal background music. It was a big room with about 25 massage beds sitting about 3 feet from each other. HINT: Wear shorts and T shirt because you won't take off your pants, and pants really get in the way during the foot massage session. My masseuse was a Korean (I think) girl with glasses. She did some really nice deep pressure massage on my head and shoulders while I was sitting up (none of those BS light touches you find at HE joints).
Next she asked me to lie down face-up and started some more head massage, then she put a warm towel to cover my eyes and proceeded to massage my arms and legs. When all was done, she asked me to lie face-down and did a whole back massage. My favorite. Then some more leg and ass, I mean, buttock massage. All was done with lots of pressure (I like it that way) and very consistently so. Oil was used moderately throughout the session.
At the end they would give you either a cup of hot tea or water. Beside the quality of the massage, what I also like about this place is even though I came almost at closed time, the masseuse did not rush through her session at all. One minor complaint that I have is sometimes the owner / manager would come in and talk to the masseuse right next to you, kinda disrupting my zen flow. But for what I get for 20 bucks I can't care less.
The rate is $15 / hr body and foot massage + $6 tip (I wanted to tip more but that was all I had). Highly recommended for a good, clean, relaxing massage. [/QUOTE]
The Way to Cafe Part 2- Even More than you wanted to Know
I would hate to be the one to drive up inflation at cafe, so let me reiterate and say that I am an unusually high tipper, and $2-3 is actually perfectly acceptable.
As for oogling. Well, they are normal girls. If you make them feel uncomfortable, you aren't going to be able to get good service, chances for REALLY trying to get them out, etc. Plus, you might piss off their gangster boyfriend sitting with 10 of his ex-convict friends sitting behind you. Some places you could get away with it. Di Vang II used to be like that.
As for the cafe's you are seeing in GG / Westminster, probably about 90% are the type of cafe I have described. Usually, the names will be like Cafe Lu, Cafe Di Vang, etc. They should be dark, have a million guys inside, and you should probably see a fair amount of neon inside. They can be dangerous though, as some are exclsive hangouts of a particular gang and may not be 100% friendly to outsiders. Though in reality you would have to try pretty hard to provoke anybody into doing anything. If you DID provoke somebody enough, you don't know what's going to happen. Once you piss off Vietnamese gangsters, you're safety can not be guaranteed.
As for locations suitable for non-vietnamese, there is:
Cafe Lu- Corner of Harbor and McFadden, they even have their own fb page and website: [url]http://www.cafelugirls.com/[/url]
Cafe Di Vang II- on right side on the block AFTER Westminster on the right side in a tiny ass plaza with a tiny ass street. There is another cafe there, but I don't recommend going there.
Cafe Vivid. One plaza South of Di Vang II, and in something of a corner spot. Likewise, there is another cafe in the plaza, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Cafe Di Vang III- On NE Corner of Westminster and Brookhurst in the plaza with the Beauty school and Bo Bai Mon Restaurant.
Cafe Cutie- Harbor and Westminster on the right side in the McDonalds plaza.
Those are probably the top 4 places right now.
There is also.
Cafe La Me- Across the street from Di Vang III next to old torn down Arby's. Sort of hit and miss, but they actually have (had?) a small selection of food available. Also, one of the owners is pretty friendly.
Miss Saigon Cafe- NW Corner of Westminster and Euclid. Hit and miss, perhaps not as many non-vietnamese in there, but it is big enough where nobody would notice / care.
Cafe De Thuong (not Nho'!). SE Corner of Westminster (you see a pattern here?) and Magnolia. Smaller, not always non-viet friendly, but the girls are pretty good.
