I apologize for this lengthy review. But I have nothing but GOOD to say about Olympic Spa! If you keep reading, You'll see I am giving you an overview of what they offer & how it works. . . Olympic Spa is an Oasis in the big city. It is a place to vacate, meditate, study & rejuvenate for $20 all day (with no added treatments or packages)!! I use to live in walking distance (3-4 blocks) from there, so I attended quite often. It was ALWAYS a slice of Heaven. I rode in & locked up my bike there. Their valet attendants looked after my bike just as well as the cars. The clientele consists of EVERY woman (hue, size, shape, interests & profession). They ask that you bring a pair of flip-flops that you reserve only for use when in the spa. When you walk in Peace & Quiet falls upon you. They assign you 2 lockers & a cubby: The 1st is for your street shoes, the 2nd is for your cloths & belongings (remember to silence your phone), while the cubby is for the incidentals (locker key towel, water bottle, etc.) you may carry with you into the wet room. Although it is a "no-clothes/no swimsuit" spa, they give you a robe & supply lots of small towels. Of course you can bring your own bath, beauty supplies & tools. They ask that you arrive 45mins. early (before sched. treatments) so you may bidet, bathe, shower & soak (in the mugwort tea, Jacuzzi, ice & trough bath) reminiscent of the bath houses and the therapeutic river-bathing women use to do together when we were hunter-gatherers. A most-loving gesture is to offer to wash another's back. The ceilings are lined with charcoal logs for air purification & deodorizing. After you leave your street life in your locker, be sure to grab a cup of Mugwort Tea as you head to the wet room. Aside from the routine spa treatments & services (massage, facial, mani-pedi, etc.), there are several relaxing "self-therapy" rooms: - Dry Heat with a raised floor (heat rises) - Steam Room - Dry Sauna - The Himalayan Salt Rock room surrounds you in negative ions which eradicates free radicals in our systems. - 2 Warm Jade Napping floors!! An Absolutely Lovely way to compete your stay. But Baaaby!! By far (my opinion) the Akasuri Scrub is the Cats Pajamas! The ladies who provide the wet room treatments wear sports bras & undies as their uniform and what they scrub off you looks like black rubber. Talk about NEW SKIN! THEY'LL EVEN WASH YOUR HAIR depending on the package you choose. Remember them in your final payment with an added Love Offering. The technicians are SO deserving. There is even a dining room. In the rear where you can order fresh nourishing juices, soups & salads with probiotics & ferments added to align your insides with all the goodness your outer body is receiving. The second Jade napping floor is back there as well. I desperately miss Olympic Spa! Only thing missing there is a good Thai Masseuse; then they would be perfect.

I’ve been coming to Olympic for 12 years and have absolutely loved it. Last night was my first trip back to the spa since Covid. I still love it here, but I will be a customer far less frequently for the following reasons: 1. All of the technology they use to sign up is clunky. I registered for a mini akasuri scrub, got an email receipt saying that’s what I signed up for, but when at the spa they told me it was registered as a reflexology appointment. By the time we realized (at the start of my appointment), all of the scrubs were already booked. Not a big deal, but you have to jump through so many hoops just to sign up and get in the door that it would be great if it all worked. 2. Everything is now a subscription-based model. In general, I’m a fan of this club model. The problem? The cheapest membership is $400/mo with a minimum of 3 months. Unless you’re coming to the spa multiple times a week, the economics of this just doesn’t make sense. One of the perks is 20% off spa services (more on this below). I would love to become a member and support their services, but I only come about once a month. A $30-50/mo member tier paid monthly would make way more sense for the vast majority of their patrons. 3. They’ve massively increased their prices for services and still don’t include gratuity - 20% required tip is automatically added when you’re checking out. For context, I paid $324 for a 85 min massage and 25 min reflexology. One of the appeals of Olympic has always been their competitive pricing for services. Now that their pricing is on par with luxury spas, I’m not sure it’s as worth it. Also think it’s best practice to disclose when making an appointment that an additional 20% gratuity is automatically added to all services upon checking out. 4. The cafe is currently not in service. ☹️ I understand they’re waiting for critical mass, but the cafe is a huge selling point for the spa. 5. Love the texture of their new robes, but they’re not size inclusive. I’m a size 14 and the largest robe (which you have to specially request at the front desk) did not fully close. In summary, the spa is still mostly the same with a few fun additions (patio, ice sauna). The membership model and pricing are a bit all over the place and don’t offer a great incentive to regularly frequent the spa (with a scrub, massage, tip, and food I used to walk out of there $200-240 max). As a long time patron, I would happily pay a monthly fee to help support them through the challenges of the pandemic for discounted rates on services, but the current prices are too prohibitive. I know they’re getting back in the swing of things and I hope they find a better biz model. I won’t be coming back for a while, but will update after my next visit.

This place is amazing. I opted for the Pure Bliss Pkg, and that's exactly what I received. It's an amazing full body exfoliating scrub , massage, facial, and shampoo. If your an out of Towner like myself or a first time buyer, I suggest arriving at least an hour to an hour and a half early so that you have time to enjoy all of the amenities pre treatment. The staff is very friendly and helpful should you request assistance. However, a closed mouth does not get feed. Once you check in your on your own. There are two sets of lockers. The first small set is for shoes. Then in the dressing area are larger lockers to house your belongings. They will provide you with a wrist band on arrival that opens both lockers, and also doubles as a form of payment in the restaurant. Your locker number is how they will call you when it's time to receive your service. Inside of your large locker you will find a towel and bath robe. In the shower area there are additional towels available. Bring your own slippers if you like those are not provided, however most people seemed comfortable walking barefoot, as the facilities are immaculately clean. Like any spa after undressing head to the shower and then feel free to relax in the jacuzzi, perhaps the Himalayan salt sauna , or traditional steam sauna, they also offer a mugwort bath for body detoxification. After your service there are also 2 areas with warm jade floor where you can nap, relax and read a book or catch up on some work, so feel free to bring your laptop. Mats, blankets and pillows are available for your use. This is an all women's facility so be prepared to spend most of your time there naked. Many services are performed in an almost communal setting, but they do offer private massage rooms as well. There is also a nice little restaurant on site the food was very tasty. As an over the road truck driver I have had an opportunity to visit different Spa's from NYC to Cali some where larger more commercial facilities some smaller independently owned. They have each offered something unique, but Olympic Spa is definitely one of my favorites.

I have been to Olympic Day Spa for years. Since Covid, they closed their restaurant, which was a big disappointment. They also converted their Mugwort bath to a saltwater bath, which is really just plain water. My swimming pool at home has more salt than this small tub has, so it's really not a saltwater bath. But the alarming thing is that since Covid, they increased their prices dramatically, and now they are demanding a required 20% gratuity for all therapists. I visited last week with my daughter, and both of us received 85 minute massages that were not up to par. My daughter's therapist didn't touch her feet, and my therapist didn't spend the extra time on my neck that I requested, twice. She basically just stuck to her standard 85 minute full body routine she's accustomed to providing, and didn't take my request into consideration at all. Min, the front desk manager, insisted that I still pay a 20% gratuity to each therapist, which would have been $64.00! When I told Min that a 20% gratuity wasn't warranted, and I wanted to give a smaller gratuity (which as far as I'm concerned should always be the CUSTOMER'S discretion how much to tip), Min told me that I would "never be allowed to come back to the spa again". As I said, I've been going to Olympic Spa for years and Min has always been unfriendly and condescending to all the guests, but this was above and beyond the usual bad customer service I've received from her. Front desk staff (especially at a spa) should be warm, welcoming, friendly and provide good customer service. Min is rude and condescending. My friends who have gone here for years, have also had similar experiences with Min and hate having to deal with her. She really ruins the happy relaxing vibe you should leave with, when you have to deal with her at the end of the experience. But seriously, BANNING me from returning because I refuse to be forced to give a huge tip for subpar service?

For Korean Spa Newbies: Just do it! You won't regret it. I received an email invitation from my Vietnamese sister. I was a little nervous knowing I would be naked and she had invited her mum and two other friends I hadn't yet met to join us. "Pleased to make your acquaintance. Does this mirror make my bum look fat?" The day arrived & to Olympic Spa we went, all five of us, and about 20 others including an actress from We're the Millers. If you are self-conscious about your body, this place will help you see we all have the same parts & insecurities. You get over them quickly. **Don't forget your spa slippers! First, valet your vehicle. Next, pay for your service, receive assigned locker key, hospital-style robe, spa towel & proceed. Strip down to your birthday suit. Grab your robe, towel & locker key & hit the showers, then the saunas (Himalayan salt, infared, etc.) and take a hot soak (Mugworts or clear water) prior to your scrub to soften up the skin. We decided on the Bliss package. All I know is I've never felt so good! I was scrubbed, rubbed, oiled, polished & new after that 2 hours. It was amazing the way Kim seemed to know my muscles. I had just spend 22 hours flying and worked out a little too hard to compensate so my back & shoulders were inflamed. She worked out the kinks with out hurting me and I am forever grateful. Kim even gave my tired tresses a minty mask, my scalp a massage, then wash & conditioned my hair. I was baby soft when she finished!

Pre-covid I went to Olympic spa almost once per month. It's a wonderful place, and it being women only really helped me relax and feel at ease at all times. My review is not based on the quality of the facilities and service I experienced, as it was lovely then. They are requiring customers to show proof of vaccination, and continue to do so despite mask mandate being lifted, most bars, venues, and spas lifting vax requirement as well. When I called to ask when they would lift this requirement, the receptionist told me "when covid is no longer a problem," lol. So I guess never? They did say a test would suffice, but when I asked if they meant an at-home negative test, they said no, it must be PCR. PCR tests are rarely covered by insurance, and they cost $150 out of pocket at my local urgent care. Essentially, Olympic is barring people who have chosen to or cannot receive a covid shot from enjoying their facilities. This is despite the fact that vaccinated people are contracting and spreading covid-19 at a similar rate to unvaccinated. I'm writing this review in the hopes that management will read it and rethink their policies. Anyway, after reading reviews below, it looks like Olympic of the past has changed now, including its pricing system and they eliminated the mugwort bath and cafe, two of the most restorative features. Then again, times are tough. Can't blame them I guess. Sad :(

  • Melana Smith (Melana Wellness)

I absolutely love this spa!!! For only $20 you can have access to all of the baths, and saunas. Its extremely clean, and only women are allowed!!! They give you a towel, and a key to your electronic locker where your robe will be waiting. DISCLAIMER: You must be naked to enter the baths! I wish my friend would have told me this before my arrival, but I might not have gone... So it is all good. It was the hardest thing for me to deal with on my first visit. I had to get over my insecurities, but once I got over myself, I enjoyed every second. It is a Korean spa, and the masseuses wear black bra and panties as the perform your treatments. Each one of them is amazing!!! The prices of the massages are awesome, and every time you get a quality experience. I leave feeling amazingly relaxed. The infared oxygen room is my favorite. It makes my skin so tight and shiny as I sweat. The Himalayan salt room has some awesome effects as well. There is also a Mugworts tea bath that is also awesome. I like to take advantage of the heated Jade floor and use a blanket and take a nap. Nobody bothers you. Just pure relaxation. So if you are a woman looking for some R&R.... Olympic spa is the place.

  • Alice Zhou

I found them on Google and drove 1 hour to try them. The staff was very professional and nice, it started with the parking attendant and then the front desk ladies. I got the 25 mins head and neck massage for $80 plus 20% mandatory tip and tax came to $96. Vivian who is Chinese Korean was a pro at getting my knots out. I thoroughly enjoyed the jacuzzi, salt sauna room, and hot red light oxygen room which made my necklace and earrings burn up after 5mins. But it was the various eating and lounging areas with spa music amply stocked with low calories popcorn, cup noodle, apple, granola bar, and fresh cucumber lemon lime water that impressed me. Of course, the gray squishy slippers that felt like a foot massage as I walked around helped too. The robe was a bit too flimsy and was hard to keep on. The beautiful Korean art hung on the hallway and chandelier added to the atmosphere. I saw girlgangs of 4 or 5, and everyone had the look of relaxation on their face. Only draw back is their wifi doesn't cover the whole building, only the eating area.

To be clear, I would give five glowing stars to the main attractions of the spa, which are the baths and massage/scrub offerings. I just did the hour-long scrub and mini-massage, and it did wonders — I don’t think I’ve ever been so moisturized in my life. And the bathing facility is small but high-quality and super clean, including the showers. The cafe in the back also serves a delicious seaweed soup and other traditional Korean dishes — a perfect complement to the massage. I am only giving three stars because this is NOT the place to get your nails done. Unfortunately I got one of the worst professional manicures in my experience here. The final outcome had several bubbles, more nail polish stains on my skin than usual and incomplete paint coverage on some nails. It was difficult to communicate these errors to the woman I was assigned to. I was disappointed and would not recommend getting a mani-pedi here as that is clearly not the spa’s speciality. But everything else is really well done!!

  • Nadia Becker

Very clean and sanitary Here's what to expect if you've never been: Arrive ahead of your appointment time! After your body scrub, you're done with the bath house area so arrive to get in your hot tub and wet sauna time BEFORE your appointment Shoes go in one locker area (the first small lockers) Other belongings in another locker (the bigger lockers) Change into your green smock, shower off in the showers of the bath house area. No more green smock. Walk around in the buff. There's a salt hot tub and a regular hot tub. The salt tub is hotter. There's a cold pool and a wash canal, but I don't really know what it's for exactly. Washing? There are two saunas. When it's your turn for your appointment, they will call your number. The body scrub is amazing. The massage and other fancy pants things didn't impress me much, but the body scrub is a must. After this, no more soaks or bath house saunas. Exit and enjoy the other hot rooms in the spa outside of the bath house. Walk around in your robe.

Heaven. On. Earth. Best k spa in all of LA. It is the most indescribable environment but I will do my best to give it justice. There is no better place to come for a sense of healing and rejuvenation. Moving at my own pace between wellness rooms, eating amazing Korean food from Yangji Gamjatang, then getting the best spa treatments in the world for a fair price. The women who work here are so strong and make you feel so safe and beautiful in your body. This haven attracts the most wide range of diversity, all ages, sizes, races, body types, because of its remarkable inclusivity. There is free tea water and snacks. I love the red light oxygen chamber, mugwort steam room, and getting both a scrub and also a shiatsu massage in a private dry room. This place has has a profound effect on me as a young woman - my health, wellness, confidence, body image and self esteem. I bring every female friend here. Thank you for all that you do

  • Aiden Dhaliwal

OMG this place is amazing! I was looking around places in my neighborhood for a fairly priced one hour massage. Most of the places I found, were either expensive or not nice looking on the inside. My friend referred to me Olympic spa in Walnut Creek, and boy did they do not disappoint. Olympic spa is renovated, extremely clean, and filled with great masseuses. My friend and I came in for a one hour full body/foot massage. Even though a little pricey, the experience was amazing. The masseuses were well knowledgeable and listens to our feedback, and the massage was amazing! Definitely worth the money for this experience. My masseuse, Yuki, was very amazing and massage with great pressure. We even opted for the hot stone treatment which was so luxurious! Olympic spot is my new favorite massage place, and I would definitely recommend to all my friends and family! Can't wait to be back.

  • Marina Yano

This is some kind of heaven, truly. I have been going here for almost a decade, so I’ve seen many changes over the years. Since the pandemic, the spa is only open to people who book treatments or have a membership. I was a bit sad to hear about this at first since it used to be a lot more affordable to just access the spa, but decided to visit with my mom anyway. I booked a shiatsu massage treatment with Hannah, as did my mom. It was so wonderful, I cannot begin to express how rejuvenating the whole experience was. Not just the massage, which was also amazing, but the facilities too. Before, the spa was packed with people, and unfortunately not very peaceful. Now, it is incredibly tranquil, and the remodeling they have done is really incredible. They have a new ice sauna, veranda, complimentary snacks. It’s really such a treat. I cannot wait to come back :)

  • Ms H

2019 Updated review: last visit their valet damaged my car major. The check in desk manager acted like the camera did not work to cover up the incident. She told me she would call me later that day and avoided my calls thereafter. Fortunately, I reported the incident to the police that same day and my rental had cameras that recorded the impact. Their dishonesty and blatant disregard for accountability was sad. I am no longer a loyal customer. 2017:The only Korean spa option you need to consider. 10 years of business with them twice a year. Great option for self pampering. Great prices. The best quiet time is during the week. They're open late nights. Valet included. Tip your services. Dine in the cafe, its amazing. Forget the day here or at least four hours of it. Pure Bliss is my favorite service. The nail service is my least favorite.

  • Jessica Watkins

I haven’t been to Olympic Spa in years- I used to love coming here when I lived in Los Angeles, and this being my first trip back not pregnant, it was one of the highlights of my visit. They have made some upgrades post pandemic! While I miss their full cafe and the mugwort tub, I love the major upgrades (cold room and large veranda) and the small ones too (infused water in each room, light snack stations, and - my favorite - the lavender iced towels!) I also love that they add the 20% gratuity for you now (I rarely carry cash these days). I had the Goddess treatment and it did not disappoint. My skin looks amazing and I left feeling so healthy, refreshed and relaxed after a particularly busy week with family traveling all over southern CA. Wholeheartedly recommend this Korean spa over all others in LA.

  • Shauna Smith

Love this place! Food in cafe also happens to be amazing if you schedule time to be there during a mealtime. I feel it's the best value for the price and the scrubs I get here seem to be better than other spas that might have fancier amenities. It looks rough on the outside, but good quality on inside. This is my go to spot for all my special treat myself days ( bdays etc) my husband know all he needs to get me is a gift cert here for any gifting occasion and he's golden. And he gets the benefit of snuggling up to my smooth glowing skin for days afterward too- bonus! Don't expect the women who are giving you the treatments to be overly sweet and friendly. They can be a bit gruff sometimes ( only the ladies at front desk speak English pretty much) but do an amazing job.

  • Just Work Thank You

I went to a few days ago with a friend and I just want to say the spa and pool itself was an amazing experience. However, I had a terrible private massage experience. They charged over $300 and included a mandatory 20% tip for a masseuse who just rubbed my body for an hour and ten minutes. She didn't even massage my shoulders or back. I told them about my experience very politely and they do not believe in hospitality at this place. She said I should of stopped the massage? California have some of the laziest ppl who coast through because they will get paid anyway. I paid $60 for massages at Korean spas and had way better experiences. Don't bother with their fancy massage descriptions with uncertified lazy masseuses. Everything else was a decent experience.

  • Nidhi Singh

My favorite place to relax and unwind. Small unpretentious Korean spa. It is not a luxury spa by any means but the treatments and facilities are great. There scrubs and massages are really good. I spend almost half a day getting pampered and then enjoying great bibimbap at their restaurant. It’s a women’s only spa and I would highly recommend it if you happen to be in la. Just a note to all the people who are uncomfortable about nudity please know this is a traditional Korean sauna/spa and you are fully nude for all your treatments and sauna facility. Please don’t write reviews and give them less stars because of this!!! It’s a traditional Korean spa and it is natural. I would go here every day if I lived in la:)

  • Julie Anne Rhodes

I've been going to Olympic Spa for nearly twenty years, but my visit this week will be my last ever. Not only have they raised the prices substantially, they let SO many people into the spa that we could not get into the baths - which is far from a relaxing experience. When I complained the woman just shrugged her shoulders and barely said sorry - clearly they care more about the $$$ than customer service! I expected her to do something to make up for an appalling visit when I spent $300.00 for two of us. Then to add insult to injury, the valet returned our car to us with a huge scratch in the bumper that was not there when I dropped my car off. This place has gone seriously down hill.

  • Jay Rob

I still love this spa! They added a couple of amenities. However, I think they went really high on their prices after the closure for covid. I've been going here for years. I just wish they still had the restuarant, the food use to be really good and convenient for customers. I dont like that the require the 20% tip eventhough I did tip based on the quality of service. There is no day pass anymore and the push for these expensive memberships. I stop going to every month and now go about every 6mos due to the pricing. I just feel like theres other spas that are very similar all women spas that are resonable in the area and have pretty much the same set up, offer day passes and more.

  • Florence Erman

My favorite spa for the past 5+ years. Used to be smaller, but they expanded the place and made it a lot nicer. Love the spaciousness of the place, so I don't feel claustrophobic when I'm there (Some other spas I've been to are much smaller). Also love the Himalayan Salt room and infrared room, as well as the mugwort hot tub (which unfortunately was recently changed to a sea salt hot tub, but I heard that the mugwort hot tub may be making a comeback). The cafeteria serves really good food. I always get my massages from Jenny, who does a great job, has really strong hands, and pays attention when she's doing the massage, so you don't feel like she's just going through the movements.

  • Dawn Lucia

Olympic Spa is the best place to spend a day in the world. I frequented for the hot and cold pools, steam rooms and then topped it off with the best Goddess package. It's really clean and comfortable. Its so relaxing and they work magic on your skin, muscles, hair and leave you feeling more relaxed than you ever thought possible. Now that I don't live in L.A. I plan my trips to America around the Olympic Spa hours. Please reopen soon. If I was being executed and had one last wish it would be to spend 6 hours at the Olympic Spa. Thank you for all the love you shared with me for over 25 years now. Stay safe. Hope all is well for everybody there. Warm regards, Dawn

  • Clarke Davis

Would have given this place a straight 5/5 rating if the beginning wasn’t so rocky. I purchased two mini-massages with appointments for a friend and I for our first time at this location. The first 20 mins was rather confusing because it took walking back up to the front and asking two different staff members how the Process went and where to go once we put our shoes away before we really got going. Although, after trying out all the different Saunas, hot tubs, and the mini massages, I would say the overall experience of the services received and feel of the women’s only spa was wonderful. Customer Service unfortunately has much to improve on.

  • Vicki A

It's been about 4 years since I've been here. Over the covid shutdown, they made a lot of upgrades. It's very nice! I was reading all of the 1 star reviews, and the majority were complaints about the new policy where a booking is required now to use the facilities. This made me more excited to go. It was so relaxing, not overcrowded! I got the gua sha facial and a relaxation massage. I was a massage therapist for 20 years and am rarely critical of massages. It was a great massage, but ... we were taught to be cautious over the kidneys. My left kidney is still sore! She cranked on my kidney! Otherwise, it's a very solid massage.

  • Antoinette Vidal

I used to love this place before the pandemic and would drive 40 minutes just to go. I loved this place, especially for their wet room with the ice bath. Great for muscle recovery. Just tried to go back today and learned a lot has changed. They no longer have nails, waxing, and the restaurant has been closed. The most disappointing thing was that they no longer have general admission. You now have to book a service in order to get entry. With the increase in the cost of services and 20% mandatory tip, I feel it's no longer worth it. It's really sad, but I must say goodbye as it's no longer the same place it used to be

  • Michelle Veneziano, DO

Overall excellent and I will return. I was somewhat shocked by the junk food they supply as snacks. You're there to detox and heal, and they give you M&Ms and fake granola bars and fruit but it's not organic. Pretty bad. Some little bags of trail mix would be much better. I thought $165 was a lot for a 55min massage, but the work was very good and you can spend the whole day there if you receive any service. The mugwort steam room is sublime, and the saltwater soak is pretty great too (less chlorine). Overall clean and well run. It's great that they have an outdoor area to picnic and sit in the sun.

  • Julie Vad

I love this women’s only Korean Spa. I have been going here for over 25 years. They have expanded over the years and for the best. They now offer manicures and food. I always get the goddess treatment when I go. It’s the best ever! All of your old skin is scrubbed away. They also put a mask on your face and a treatment for your hair. Your skin is unbelievably soft for a long time after. There are about 5 different saunas and a steam room. A tea jacuzzi, a regular jacuzzi and a cold dipping pool. You can relax on the heated floor after and take a nap. I just love this place!

  • Sarah Shanley

The last time I went to this spa was pre-covid. The positives are they definitely renovated the place and gave it a makeover. Lovely outside seating area, little details such as essential oils scented cold towels for your face, etc. The downside is you can't go to the spa without spending at least a hundred bucks because they now require you to buy a treatment. (Pre-covid you could just pay for the facility and get in for 30 bucks) Loved the Ambiance but unfortunately will not be able to go back often because of the cost. If you can afford it though, I recommend it!

  • Sydney Snyder

This was the first massage I've ever had where my hair was washed and conditioned in the middle of it...while on the table. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience for me. I really want to like this place as much as Spa Palace or Wi, but there just aren't nearly as many room or things to do and it is very easy to get yelled at. I do love the hot stone bibimbap here more than other places and the mochi is so good. The mugwort bath is cool, too, and you may spot a celebrity or two while here, but I have a hard time visiting a Korean spa without a clay ball room.

  • Yvette Sunflowers

VERY clean. Receptionists were quite helpful explaining how things work, etc. I had the Nirvana Hot Stone along w/ extra reflexology and it was pure bliss. The steam rooms were steamy and hot tub, hot.....the cold room could have been a bit colder -- 61* isn't exactly "cold". Only down side is how expensive it all is. Yes, you can " join/become a member," but regardless, I still don't have $300+ each time I want to pamper myself. This visit was from a friend knowing how badly I needed some pampering. I'll definitely come back when I have extra $$ to do so.

  • Arleen Ferrara

I've been going to Olympic for about 9 years. It's hard to describe but when I settle into their warm water spa (always the first thing I do after a shower) I feel like I've returned home. It is simply one of the best self care things I can do for myself, right up there with yoga and long walks/hikes. I love the food and the private areas where you can nap. The shiatsu massages are awesome because I have a ton of nasty knots in my back. I love the whole place especially when other clients remember to speak very softly or not at all. Silence is golden here.

Ok so I haven't been here in a while and I love the spa itself, so if you're going for a simple soak it's great, but if you want a massage, OMG don't even try it! such a pain, you can't call anymore, you have to book online and the process is such a hassle it literally stressed me out so much I called HUGH spa and booked a longer massage for cheaper, believe it or not, and it took a total of a minute. So, I unfortunately can't go to Olympic spas for massages anymore, but I'm so happy I found a cheaper alternative. Thanks for saving me money lol.

  • Deborah Bailey

Hard to fathom on arrival, but if you 3 or 4 hours to spare, this place is out of this world. A Korean massage place, they issue you a locker and a wristband, and after that you are free to indulge in various hot and co,d baths, salt rooms, and other as you wait for the piece de resistance, the massage, which does not disappoint. A combination of rubbing, scrubbing, and deep massage, by the end of the process, relaxation is complete. The result is the wet noodle effect. Tremendous value, and delightful get away.

  • Chrissy Morgan Reeb

Started here with 6 girlfriends for bachelorette party relaxation and hangs before going out. Never came before the pandemic but understand they remodeled. Can confirm it’s the nicest KSpa I’ve seen in LA. Women only, no children, excellent services, beautiful amenities. Sadly they not longer allow drop ins and got rid of the cafe. Services buy your admission, and they offer snacks and food delivery. Really lovely place, 10/10 recommend. Had the KPop scrub + massage + face treatment and it was glorious!

  • Tish Gordon

THIS IS EPIC. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!! It has changed a bit, for the better and not so wonderful. I would love to see the restaurant back in business. And the mugwart tea pool. Excellent service, Clean. They have upped the prices, CONSIDERABLY Be aware. Not ONLY THAT, but if you cancel same day at 9 am, they will charge you a 25% fee. NOT customer accommodating. I know now WHY my attendance here has been so much less. Many other spas offer amazing services and scrubs. Keep trying them!!

  • Katie DiCicco

NEVER AGAIN!!! Lisa murdered my back. Left feeling like I needed a real massage and woke up in excruciating pain. She literally kicked my shoulder... how is that relaxing or therapeutic?! Lisa actually laughed when I said “ouch” as if she got joy out of my pain. The manager refused to give me my money back since the “service was completed”. I used to think this place was a gem, but I was treated like an animal and am enraged by the treatment I received. I WANT MY HARD EARNED MONEY BACK!!!!

  • Ariel Smith

I went for the goddess treatment and left feeling incredible. Delicious. What a beautiful experience it was. I was scrubbed and rubbed for two hours and they don’t miss a spot on you. My skin has never been this soft. The amenities are lovely and I recommend giving yourself enough time before your service to complete a few circuits. After the treatment you’re only supposed to use the dry saunas. It’s a fully nude spa with no bathing suits needed. Will absolutely be back.

  • Sannae Hopson

My favorite Korean bath house/spa hands down. The Pink Himalayan Salt room is my favorite in the world. Best place to hide away for hours to recharge. Take a nap on a heated jade floor, get a treatment, eat some yummy foods, soak in a healing mugwort tea, and sweat the stress away in three sunas. It's the absolute best way to rejuvenate your skin, keeping it smooth and soft. Prices are rising and certain perks are fading away. But been coming for 10+ years.

  • Mingzhao Xu

Stylist women's only spa that includes a very hot Mugwort tub, which I haven't encountered elsewhere. Came here b/c had muscle fatigue and ticks and several hours later, PROBLEMS MELTED AWAY! The common areas were extremely clean and well-maintained. Cute figurines and paintings all over the place. Free valet. Decent price for an all-day pass. Food service was fast but clumsy as the kitchen is poorly staffed and people rarely tip. Tasted decent, not great.

  • Christina Pedroza

If you're open to the idea of being nude in front of other women than this place is great for a self care day. Inexpensive and you can stay all day if you want(i recommend it). There's different temp pools, saunas, a heated himalayan salt room, headed jade floors (which will most likely put you into a nap) ( there's a few other amenities that I'm forgetting) in addition, the food is pretty good as well. Perfect for a day with the girls or a day alone.

  • Zoe Angela Chelsea Ram

Would’ve been 5 stars back in the day. Been coming to this spa since about 2013, miss the authenticity, the regular entry fee, and the restaurant. Used to go multiple times a year, now only about 2x’s a year since the reopening after Covid. The membership prices are excessive, and the restaurant isn’t even in service anymore. They also have gotten lax on rule enforcement, people walk around with outside shoes, and get their hair in the clean pools.

  • Lauren Hamer

Overall nice for kspa but unfortunately the people there don't know how to act... It's hard to relax with people scrubbing themselves (???) In the sauna, eating food in the wet area and being loud as hell. I'll probably be back again but definitely not on a Saturday afternoon. I wish people would take some time to understand what is ok and not ok in Korea spa situations... People were getting shushed by the employees and all the tubs were packed.

  • diana hsieh

they have re-opened, i was excited to go back, made an appt with my usual lady. They've remodeled, & gratuity is now included in price of service. But unfortunately they got rid of my 2 favorite things: 1. MUGWORT pool 2. Restaurant.. Sad face. They added an "Ice room". Steam room barely steams, dry sauna & salt room are still the same. Also they dont have the heated toilet seats anymore. Not sure if i like the new olympic spa.

  • Bon Bon

Whether I get a treatment or not this place in consistently great. It's a spa with a purpose more then fluff. It's amazing and we'll worth the time. Anytime I have had a treatment with any therapist it is great. I prefer Shen or Park. But really they are great. This place know how to employ great workers...and keep them. All the spa rooms are great. Bonus only females allowed in spa...great place for female energy and girl time

  • Eden Jasper

Lovely, very clean environment. I had a wonderful 40 min scrub that left my skin feeling 10 years younger. I'm giving the place 4 stars instead of 5 because the "herbal sauna" was not herbal at all, the "oxygen therapy" was really just a sauna with red light, although still relaxing and peaceful. The scrub was a 5, though I thought overpriced for only 40 min ($120 including the 20% gratuity they add automatically).

  • K L

I really enjoy this place. However, they now allow women to walk around with their cell phones out, even in the nude areas. It is uncomfortable to relax, if you are watching someone point a cell phone at you when you are nude. It is rude, uncomfortable and unnecessary to be on your phone when at the spa. There are other areas within the spa where this is acceptable. It should be restricted and ENFORCED. ‍♀️

  • Amanda Tharp

This is honestly one of my favorite places to visit. This last time I had a Pure Bliss treatment. And it was heavenly! The Himalayan rock salt room, steam room and the mugwort pool are my favorites! Prefect way to spend a whole day or just a couple hours if that's all you have time for. It's amazing having the Korean scrub. You literally leave with brand new skin. My skin feels incredibly luscious after a day here!

  • Leilani Ching

Absolutely LOVED my total experience. I got there 45 minutes early, relaxed in the herb hot tub, relaxed in the Himalayan salt hot room, and took a quick wiff inside the really steamy stream room before I received my treatment. I received the Goddess ritual service and will be flying from Oakland to LA every 2 months from now on just for this treatment. Love Love Love this place. I had Kong btw and she was lovely.

  • Elizabeth Warber

Love this spa! The services are excellent. My favorite massage is the nirvana which is a combination of deep tissue, hot stone and shiatsu. The body scrub is great too. The facility is very clean. The spa has a wet spa dry sauna, warm jade floor, jacuzzi, cold plunge pool, an oxygenated rock sauna and a Himalayan rock salt room. My favorite is the Mogwat bath. Come here for a day of heaven. Wash the city away!

  • Letxia C

First time, great massage, clean facility, beautiful steam rooms- docking one star for lack of direction. Being new to this spa, I didn't know what protocol was, where facilities were, and I had to wander around and ask people for direction. It would have been nice for an attendant to have asked me before I entered if I was new so that someone would show me around. Other than that, great experience!

  • TaMiya Dickerson

Olympic spa is a all oasis in the middle of LA. The spa is organized and clean. The service is professional and nice. They have everything you want and need in a kspa: hot pool, hot pool with tea and extracts, cold pool, three dry saunas each with different natural ingredients like salt and clay that have healing properties. My massage was awesome. I feel amazing. Will definitely be back.

  • VS P.

Their Goddess treatment is on point. Ajimas are sweet, thoughtful and well trained in massage, not just body exfoliation! La got all the knots out in my upper back along with making me feel squeaky clean. They also use local products from Osea which I support ~ truly was a divine time that I didn’t want to end! Will be back when I want to feel like a million dollars again

  • Kuwilileni Hauwanga

This is hands down my favorite no nonsense spa. The mugwort tub takes you to a new level of detox, the Himalayan salt room always makes my joints feel like they’re reborn, love the rinse/scrubbing exfoliating areas. Just really a dream, i’ve been to spas all over the world and this one is still my favorite for resetting myself without frills, too much fanfare, or bathing suits haha.

  • Sarah N.- B.

I've been going to Olympic Spa for over 20 years. Use of pools and sauna is $20 or $25 (don't remember), because I always get the Goddess treatment ($140 + tip), and feel like a new woman when they are done washing, scrubbing and massaging. If you want to wear a bathing suit, it's not the place for you. If you want to reset emotionally, physically, spiritually this is for you!!!

  • Natalie F

Olympic Spa is the perfect getaway! It is clean, organized, and tranquil. I didn't try any of the treatments my first time there, but $20 is worth the price to soak in the different pools. My favorite place was the Himalayan pink salt sauna. It's peaceful and makes you feel like you've been walking along the beach. I will definitely be back for more!

  • FRISBEE SMITH

This company refused service claiming a picture ID Covid card was required and it was mandated by CA. Nobody has a picture ID Covid card and this is 2 weeks AFTER the State of California removed the mandate. It’s a classic case of discrimination. Btw , the inside of the building had a septic tank smell to as well. Idk how this could be called a spa.

  • Michelle B

Bliss! Consider this the quieter more intimate version of Wi Spa. A couple of times during my scrub-massage, the aunties even went and shushed customers who were being too loud in the pool/shower area (which was appreciated). The scrub is less harsh than others I've had and still gets good results. And whatever conditioner they use smells amazing.

  • Bianca Mendez

Seriously my fav place to get some relaxing alone time! It's so clean, and the women are really nice! I go for monthly waxing and massage/scrubs, I can honestly say it keeps me sane. Not only can you get a good massage/wax but you can also get delicious meals and good sleep! I'm so happy I found this place and I would definitely recommend it!

  • Gina Gonzalez

I have to say they have a very large selection of fabrics and notions. Albeit a little on the expensive side. The place is kinda large and a little intimidating as it is full of obvious fashion design students and I'm just a mere tinkerer. No one is really jumping at you to assist, but they are quick and courteous when you hunt someone down.

  • Jeanne K

Full service facility including mugwort jacuzzi, salt rock room, steam room, dry sauna, plenty of showers, warm marble floor all unlimited use for $25 - towel, robe and locker included! You can also book a massage or facial or get delicious Asian food at the inhouse restaurant. A safe all women atmosphere for hours of healing relaxation.

  • Kristin Ciasulli

My go to place for relaxation. Comprehensive services, clean, and a restaurant with good food. My only complaint is that sometimes there's a lot of cross talk between massage therapists during the massage which detracts from the therapeutic, relaxing experience I'm looking for. I mention this to management and have seen an improvement.

  • amanda lyberger

They have a policy where you can’t access the bathhouses unless you have a spa service booked. This is the only spa I’ve ever been to out of several places and several cities that’s had this policy, so I didn’t even get to look at the facilities. Won’t be returning to this one considering the amount of other Korean spas in the area.

  • Shayna Macklin

DO NOT GO FOR A MASSAGE. Really awful. BUT the body scrub was heaven. The facility was beautiful and I LOVED all of the rooms, but I really wish they offered day passes. Even if it was $100 for a pass I’d go. But I won’t be returning since you have to have a treatment to use the facility. I’d rather pay $100 for a day pass.

  • Jen B

This place is heaven! I got a scrub and massage which were both amazing. The scrub left my skin feeling to silky smooth and glowing. The salt bath was so great too. We also spent time in the saunas, salt room, ice room and oxygen room. The entire experience left me feeling to zen and relaxed. I cannot wait to go back!

  • Char

AMAZING!! Lee gave me a full body scrub, facial, massage, and washed my hair. I used the sauna and relaxed for a bit even before that. The staff is friendly, and timely. It's totally worth every penny. I feel like I got a $300 experience for $100. Will bring everyone I know here. Much friendlier and smaller than Wi.

  • Angela McNeal

I had a Wonderful Hot Stone Massage as my birthday treat. I enjoyed the facilities as always but disappointed the restaurant was closed and they don't offer day passes anymore. I used to go and enjoy the facilities and eat, but that's in the past. I hope they will reopen the restaurant soon.

  • Cynthia Fisher

If I could give more stars I would! The service was amazing. This all female spa is a relaxing and total spa experience. You can do everything- jacuzzi, wet and dry saunas, body scrub, massage, facials, manicure, pedicure and even eat! We spent 5.5 hours relaxing...and we were not the only ones.

  • Catherine Campion

My favorite Korean spa! I recommend: Mugwort ❄ pool salt chamber infra red sauna. Then, be sure to treat yourself to the facial, massage & scrub, which includes admission. Bibimbap hot pot alone is worth the trip. Bring your own mug to drink lots of barley! …

  • Samantha D'costa

Women's only spa. The pools/suana area is nudity area. The lockers have a wireless plastic watch-key you wear. If u make an appointment, arrive an hour early to enjoy the complimentary pools/saunas. You can order in and eat in the veranda. I cld spend a whole day there relaxing

  • My Ideal Nails

My favorite spa in LA. It is a pity that after covid, the restaurant is no longer open. But this spa is the best place to relax. Quiet, calm, I like to relax on the veranda. Every time, I make an appointment for a traditional scrub and massage with cbd oil in a private room.

  • Jay Hopper

I cannot express enough how fantastic my experience was at Olympic spa! The massages were fabulous, deep, and left me feeling like a new born baby. The atmosphere was so relaxing and the pools and saunas are great. Definitely plan to spend at least a few hours here

  • Grace Chia

Amazing cosy place. It was USD48 for a to and fro uber ride from the airport but it was nice. The massage was so so but the scrub is really good. Probably will skip the massage the next time. Food was average. Would have preferred if there was an egg in my soup :)

  • Meghan Harris

First and BEST spa experience ever. I felt like I was in paradise. Great place to go to relieve alot of stress and anxiety and forget all you worries. I got the milk and honey wet scrub massage. I was glowing for a week! Im definitely coming back here

  • Phosphene Dreams

This place is amazing. First time and will absolutely be back. The amenities are great and the service providers are great. The only thing I would prefer is to enforce a stricter no phone policy or have a specific designated area for phone use.

  • Marci Javril

Get into the Mugwort Bath and soak it up! then take a coooold dip, then visit the salts room. Or perhaps you'll go steam, get a scrub, and do a sauna (with cold dips in between). Or maybe take a jacuzzi, have a deep shiatsu massage, and end

  • Mary Aracena

My coworker recommended the Goddess Treatment after a particularly rough week. I scheduled a mani/pedi with the Dazzle nail polish and the goddess treatment. I first had my mani/pedi at about 12:30 pm on a Saturday. I then took the time to

  • Heather Rhea Dawn

Olympic Spa Valet's DON'T HAVE INSURANCE! They ran my car into another car and the Spa manager nor the Valet company will call me back or give me their insurance information. They owe me $3300.00 for repairs and a rental car for 3 weeks.

  • Hai Kim

I dont like some of thier employee. Those people do the massage and facial were friendly and nice but some of the receptionist were rude. I know thier place is a quite place, can they say it in a nice way to keep to silent if your making

  • Felis Stella

I've been coming here since 1998!!! To this day this is my favorite Korean spa. It's women only so you don't have to wear silly shorts and t-shirts the way you do in coed spas. Olympic spa has a hot mugwort pool - not one other spa I've

  • Kim Crabb

Great services. No more day passes. Fully upgraded place and still a good hideaway spa. No more restaurant but will let and encourages you to have delivered meals. Great outdoor and indoor dining areas. Gratuities are now included, too.

  • Valerie Alvarez

I love this place they were so welcoming so peaceful it felt like heaven I'm coming back in 6 months I just felt like I was brand new when I came out of there you guys got to try this place and the ladies they are so sweet and nice

  • 1InformedSheacher

This is the real affordable health care! I have a family member whose Asthma was healed as a result of the saunas and steam in this sacred place. No matter what size or shape. Come take care of your body like I do 4 times a month!

  • Vanessa Lillie

I love Olympic spa, it is so relaxing. I love the full body scrubs my skin feels so good afterwards. Also they have a hot tub with medicinal tee in it that I really love. I imagine right now they are not able to be open

  • Frankie Gremillion

Take your sweet time here to enjoy every room & pool, lunch room, & make sure you treat yourself to the Goddess treatment. I felt like a newborn after my service. Quite possibly the best 30th birthday gift to myself!

  • Marina Swann

This is not a regular day spa anymore - you are required to either book a treatment or buy a membership that starts at $400 / month. Prices for treatments look kinda beyond with a 20% gratuity now necessary as well.

  • Lisa Wong

The best place tho soak, relax and unwind. I love all their detox rooms, especially the Himalayan salt room. My favorite hot tub is the mugwort hot tea bath. Love their massage, scrubs, and reflexology offerings.

  • Makaila Govan

Spa no longer offers dining/meals and encourages you to order food through UberEATS. Also, they do not have a cover fee so you must buy a service in order to relax. Amenities were fine, but nothing special.

  • Lisa Maria Forte

I love the Goddess package. The body scrub is exceptional. Soaks and steams before treatments are always delightful. Pro tip: bring your own water bottle to refill while enjoying your blissful treatments!

  • Connie Yang

- lots of different rooms, including cold sauna. - nice spa music playing throughout - no food served, only snacks - facial was efficient and rapid, not slow/relaxing if that’s what you’re looking for.

  • zoe pesto

I thought this experience would awkward, but it was AMAZING. The lady that did my scrub and massage was wonderful, and the various tubs, pools, saunas, and therapy rooms were outstanding. I'll be back!

  • Marian Hawkes

Blisssss. How did it take me so long to find this place. Micky gave me the massage of a lifetime. Their Himalayan salt room is divine… t felt like I was inside my salt crystal. Great service too.

  • Aisha Alabi

I got the milk and honey body scrub, and it was divine! The facilities are clean and the staff is friendly. I would recommend this place if you want to relax and feel like silk when you leave.

  • Ingrid Jensen (Ingridhairinspiration)

I always love coming here! Bella is my favorite facial girl! All the different rooms are amazing! Love the tea bath, and the head to toe package! The hot stone dish my favorite thing to eat.

  • Princess Eva

It was a wonderful experience and so relaxing. The staff were friendly, the vibe of the place was nice. Really awesome and I fully recommend to anyone looking for a top notch spa treatment.

  • Suriya Jayanti

Been coming here since 2005. It used to be great. Now it's grossly overpriced for mediocre service, with an automatic 20% added as a "tip". There are much better options than Olympic Spa.

  • Bridget Van Cook

This was an incredible experience. I cannot tell you the joy that I fell in really prioritizing what it meant to do self-care. A delightful experience on my LA trip for my birthday!!!

  • Yolande Beckles

Best women's spa in LA for women. $20 and you can stay all day!!! 9am -10pm on site cafe, valet parking and treatments for extra. Be prepared to naked believe me nothing watching!!!

  • Melody Robusto

I didn't even know this place existed until I was given a gift by a coworker. What a neat hidden gem. So many wonderful relaxing treatments and rooms. Overall, amazing I'll be back

  • Marty Cole

Use to be my place to relax in total peace!! Now it's very loud very hard to relax in quiet. Front desk has no control over the loud talking laughing etc... Its really sad!!

  • Katy Duffy-Sherr

AMAZING. The body scrub is fantastic. I lived the different tubs of water, the heated tiles and the salt room. I wish I lived in LA so I could go to this place all the time.
