Types of massage in Koreatown

  • Korean spa (jjimjilbang): a day pass gives you access to saunas, pools and rest areas. Massages and body scrubs are booked separately inside the spa.
  • Thai and acupressure massage: neighborhood shops offering 30, 60 and 90-minute sessions, often with walk-in availability on weekdays.
  • Deep tissue and foot reflexology: common in smaller studios, usually cheaper than in West LA or Beverly Hills.

Typical prices in Koreatown

K-town is one of the most affordable areas in LA for a massage. As a rough guide, a 60-minute session at a neighborhood shop often runs $50–$90, while Korean spas charge for the massage on top of the day pass. Add the customary 15–20% tip. Always confirm the price when you book, since rates vary by day and time.

Getting there and parking

Metro D Line (formerly Purple Line) stops at Wilshire/Vermont, Wilshire/Normandie and Wilshire/Western, a short walk from most spas. Many businesses have their own lot or validated parking; street parking is metered with time restrictions, so read the signs.

How to choose

  • Look for the therapist's or business's CAMTC certification — you can check it on the CAMTC website.
  • At Korean spas, some areas are gender-separated and have their own etiquette.
  • If you need a specific therapeutic massage (deep tissue, sports), ask when booking — not every shop offers it.
