A few Testimonials  from  our  clients
(UPDATED  4-14-21)

"I've been coming to Nina's for years and I am never disappointed.  Nina is amazing at deep tissue massage (I prefer the combo treatment of Thai and deep tissue).  This place feels very safe as far as COVID precautions.  Masks are required, there are air purifiers and everything is clean.  They definitely take safety seriously. Will be coming back very soon."  (Jenna H)
What more to say besides INCREDIBLE?  Thanks so much for the kick ass massage, Pam!  I will definitely be back to see her. She knew exactly what she was doing and worked on my body like she had been for years.  So impressed.  Also wanted to shout out Pete, who does a phenomenal job of organizing appointments and communicates so well.  Great prices, clean and friendly and soothing environment and even water at the end if you like :-)  Thanks again, team.  Can't wait to come back! (Cassie F.)
Wow! This place is awesome!!!

I'm a runner and my legs get very sore after a long run. Nina was able to tell that I run even before I mentioned it. She spent most of the session on my legs and I walked out of there like a new man. This was one of the most technical massages I have ever received.
Thank you Nina!  (Moshe S.)
Nina was one of the most amazing masseuses I've ever had! I'm a massage therapist so I'd say I'm a bit more judgmental than most. She was a great conversationalist, and had such a bubbly personality. She got all my knots and soreness out of my neck and shoulders. I got the combo which is a mix of Swedish and Thai massage. Totally would recommend her! 10/10  (Christopher W.)

I am obsessed with this place! I had never had a traditional Thai massage, and now I never want a regular one. I overheard someone speaking about this little hidden gem and based on that conversation alone I wanted to give them a try and so glad I did.

I have had both Nina and Ida. Both great, both different. Ida has very strong hands and is more of a deep/sports massage type of masseuse. She gets in there and works out all the knots. You walk away feeling great and refreshed but be prepared to be sore the next day.
Nina is very strong too but something about what she does is more relaxing...even when she's walking on you or working out a knot, the movements are more calming.

I took my mother here as well for Mother's Day and she too never wants a typical massage. Highly recommend!
(Krista S)
 As I walked in Nina was waiting for me and place me in a small room right away. Like always they she greeted me and ask if I was in any pain or if I need a specific area. I told her my lower back and shoulders. The room is very clean and nice aroma and loving music. I asked for hot stone if Nina has time so she just use it for me. I told I have referred my clients to her place and she remember them. I'm a manicurist so I know I have customers that loves to get massage so I refer all of them to Nina. Nina was very happy when I help her out.

During the massage, Nina managed to loosen up most of my knots. She added a cooling oil on my back that heats up. It was a very pleasant experience. I asked for just the 1 hour massage, but Nina did some extra for me. She is very sweet. Nina knows how customer feels and their needs. I told her next time I would come back for the 90 minutes massage. I know it is worth the price.   (T.N)
"I'm an air hostess.  Bending up-and-down has really hurt my lower back.  I'm so lucky to have found Nina.  She healed me.  Every muscle in my body feels happy and healthy.  Her techniques are perfection.  Her  personality is delightful.  Thank you, Nina.  You are the best." (Lady K.)
I love this place!
I'm extremely picky when it comes to a good quality massage.
I love the atmosphere: it's quite, relaxing and VERY CLEAN. It smells nice.  (Daria A)
"Nina's Tong Thai Spa has never disappointed us.  Nina is a gem and knows just what it takes to get your body back on track, whether you are a weekend warrior or you've pulled a muscle and can't get the kinks out at home. A very friendly staff, clean rooms and a super-relaxing atmosphere for massage at an amazingly-good price.  A great way to get pampered monthly."  (Stevie W.)
"I went to Nina after having a car accident and had a ninety-minute massage.  Nina worked me over, including walking on my back.  I attribute moving toward recovery from the accident to her.  She is definitely my "Go To" massage person.  Very clean rooms, quiet space and completely focused therapist.  Loved it." (Grenda D.)
"Absolutely amazing.  So clean and the prices are perfect.  First time at getting a massage and it was fantastic. Nina is so nice and accommodating."  (Sonya L)
AMAZING!! I just walked out (literally, JUST walked out) and I'm sitting to get a gyro at Naab Cafe in the same plaza, talking to my boyfriend about how great my massage was. We had a couples massage. Nina worked on him and Ida worked on me. I'm a little particular when it comes to my massages. I don't like when the movement isn't in a smooth consistent motion. Ida nailed it! I may have fallen asleep for a few and drooled on the bed. Nina worked out my bf's knots in his shoulders/neck and cracked his back like it hasn't been cracked in years. They were both super nice and made us feel welcome to come back any time. Nina may have convinced my bf to do a 90 min massage next time, which is a plus for me!!!!

Also, the gentleman who answered the phone while I was making the appointment was so nice! He even gave me the heads up that there are 3 restaurants in the same plaza and told me where to park.

We'll definitely be coming back.  (Crista C.)
"Words cannot explain how much I enjoyed my experience today.  Nina is a master of her craft.  Nina really loves what she does and it shows.  Her hospitality is beyond measure and she is excellent in anticipating what your body needs.  She is a sweet and kind-hearted woman.  I will be going to her frequently now that I've found her. Thank you, Nina.  I absolutely loved it. (Lilly G)
"This was the best massage I've ever received.  A wonderful salon...beautiful, clean, relaxing and lovely atmosphere.  The owner was a delight, so kind and professional.  The massage specialist who tended to my daughter was also  wonderful.  We are going to go back often.  Highly recommended." (Gloria W)

"Best massage on Planet Earth. Just look at all of the other 5-star ratings.  I've been coming to Nina since 2007. And I drive to Encino from Crescenta Valley, because yes...the massage is THAT good.  Nina handles what's wrong, when even you are not sure.  It took me two years to find her and once I did, I stopped looking." (Jeff M.)
"Nina is the sweetest and most talented Thai masseuse in the area.  Her massages are by far the best I have ever received.  She made me feel extremely comfortable, checked in me frequently and found all of the tense spots in my body.  AMAZING.  Highly recommended." (Tara F.)

I've been to Nina Tong's spa twice now and I love it! The first time I was there I was massaged by Nina. She really cares about you and works hard to get the knots out of your body. Before I met Nina, I've been to many Thai massage spots (even in Thailand) and all of them follow a generic massage routine even though I always ask them to focus on my neck and shoulders. However, Nina spent an entire hour on my neck and shoulders like I've asked! It really helped to loosen up my tight muscles. The second time I went, I had an appointment with Nina but was asked to be seen by another lady who works there because Nina was very busy that day. At first I wasn't happy because I made an appointment with Nina and wanted to be massaged by Nina. However, the other lady who massaged me was very effective as well. So it seems like everyone who works there is very well trained by Nina and can be trusted! Happy to have found a great massage place.  (Joanne S.)
"We found this place on Yelp and it was the first one to come up because of all of the 5-star reviews. I can see why. It was clean, great atmosphere and great therapists. We had JR and Paula and Nina came out to greet us. The massages were awesome.  We will definitely return and will probably become regular customers." 
(Vicki P.)

"Nina is the best Thai masseuse in the USA hands down.  I really mean it.  I found Nina by luck a couple of years ago and since that time, I have never seen anyone else in Los Angeles.  My mom came to visit me and I gave her a present of a massage from Nina.  She couldn't believe it.  She said it was the best massage she's ever had in her life and she has visited maybe 12 countries.  She wants to take Nina back home with her." (Sarhan M.)
"Yelp really came through on this.  Nina is the most skilled massage therapist in the Valley.  She has an incredible ability to detect tension and immediately ascertain the best way to loosen it up.  She is extremely nice.  I can't say enough good things about her.." (Serj T.)

"Great massage, great price.  Pinky knew what she was doing.  I will be going back regularly." (Michelle S.)
"I took my lunch time off and came by Nina's for a Thai and Swedish combination massage.  I feel like new now." (Asako U.)

"I went to Nina's for my first ever massage because I have troublesome muscles and fibers in my legs that as I advance in age, just won't relent and keeps me from running with the acceleration and speed that I've been accustomed to over the past 30+ years.  Enter Ida.  She's small but her physical stature belies her might. At once point, she had such amazing pressure on my iliotibial band  that I had fully resigned to spending the rest of my life in a wheelchair. And then it was gone. The pain and impossibly light feeling between my hip and knee was gone. And she worked through so many other problems, some of which I didn't even know I had." 
(Jeremy S.)
"Nina is sweet and kind and her Thai massages are excellent.  My whole family has been going to Nina for the past few years and we are super happy.  We recommend her to our family and friends.  She really goes out of her way to make sure customers are happy.  We LOVE HER and recommend her to all." (Iris S.)
"Nina's new location is beautiful and the massages are great as usual." (Eric B)

"Nina has a new location.  I go at least once a month for a two-hour massage.  Nina's new place is clean and fresh and has plenty of free parking." (David A)

"Nina now has her own salon!!!  I have been going to her for massage therapy for the past eight years.  Hands down, the best masseuse I have ever had and I've been getting legitimate massage therapy for over 30 years.  I highly recommend her." (P.P.)
"Nina's Tong Thai Spa is terrific.  I have used her for years whenever my aching muscles cry "help".  I have sent my family and friends to her and they always thank me for introducing them.  She's ever  pleasant and sincerely anxious to please.  Her new spa is spotless and clean.  It will surely be my family's go-to place for massage." (Sean C)
"Went with my daughter and we both had great massages.  I don't remember the name of my masseuse but she was awesome, really stretching and working my sore muscles.  Good price.  Would definitely return." (D.I.)
Nina is the sweetest, most kind-hearted masseuse anyone will ever come across. She genuinely cares for her clients. She will even go over the time you book with her bc she really wants to help her clients out! Besssttttt masseuse ever! (Pardis S)
Nina's spa is the absolute best. Not only the best massage and treatment, but so much joy i truely felt a healing. I am sincere, you will be be grateful for the experience. (Scott B)
"Nina  is a kind, loving person, who only cares about her client's having a good experience.  Stay away from the $20- $25 foot massage stores if you want a total body massage. They just don't come close to the therapeutic value of Nina's work." (Edward S)
"Having had massages for years in many different places, I can honestly say that Nina is the best masseuse I have ever had working on my body.  It's a magical and spiritual experience.  Note to be missed."  (Maureen D)
"Nina is fantastic! She is very thorough and makes sure to address any problem areas.  She always goes above-and-beyond to make her customers happy.  She is strong and does great Deep Tissue work.  She is also very sweet, on time and very accommodating.  She is a must! " (Melissa R)
"Nina is one of the BEST massage practitioners in Los Angeles.  She is the sweetest, most caring and MOST knowledgeable of Thai masseuses trained in Thailand.  She is very attentive, detailed and intuitive.  Her new salon is very clean and comfortable, with a relaxing atmosphere and good prices.  I will definitely be back soon".  (Rey C.)
"Nina is engaging and upbeat.  She really cares about her customers.  She is a conscientious professional who I highly recommend. " (Chris O)
"I had a completely life changing experience with Nina today.  No other massage therapist comes close to how she heals with her hands.  I have chronic pain which has taken many sessions to feel as good as she made me feel from one!  Her positive energy and love for what she does is contagious and adds to the feeling of well being you get when you're with her.  Give her a call directly for faster service 310-994-9258, you will thank me!!" (Karla M)
"Nina is really amazing.  She is like a doctor.  I've been to her many times and afterward, I feel like a new person.  No more pain.  Good Bless."    (Marjan J)
"I have been going to Nina for several years after been referred by a friend.  She is extremely knowledgeable about how the body works and is a strong masseuse."    (Edward C)
"Nina is AMAZING!  I have been to the best-of-the-best places, including very expensive spas, and hands down, you will not find a better masseuse anywhere.  My preference is Swedish, but she is also a master of Thai Massage, too.  I have been going to Nina for over five years."     (Charity W)
"Nina is one of the best massage therapists that I have ever been to and I have been to some of the finest places.  I highly recommend her."    (Tami S)
"I have had several Thai Massages over the years, but this is definitely the best.  I've had two massages with NIna so far, both two hours and both excellent.  Nina is very talented, with lots of experience.  She learned massage from working on her father when she was growing up in Thailand.  If you are a traditionalist, her work is amazing.  Plenty of stretches, pressure, twists and cracks."        (David A)
"Nina will massage you as hard or as gentle as you need and she is very open to hearing from you. If you want a fantastic Thai massage, I strongly recommend Nina."      (E.S)
"I have been a customer for four years and would come every day if I could.  Nina is so skilled that there is no reason to go anywhere else and spend more money.  It just doesn't get better than this.  It's not just the massage:  it's stretching and adjusting, too.  When you walk out, you feel 10 years younger."         (Stephanie H)
"Nina's massage skills are incredible but she also has a contagious personality that shows how much she likes people and likes helping people get rid of their pains and discomforts."     (George H)
"Every time I get a massage from Nina it is awesome.  Best ever massages.  I am forever ruined for getting a massage from anyone else now."         (Marina S)
