I slipped into Imperial Foot Massage on Jackson Streetone of those Chinatown gems where humming traffic mixes with soft music and muted gossip. My 60minute fullbody massage started with expert elbow work on my tight shoulders, then migrated south to feet that practically sighed with relief. The space: basic recliners under warm lights, clean, calmno candles, no pretension. My therapist, who introduced himself as Andy-ish, chatted quietlynot awkward, just enough to remind me this is Seattle, not some pumpanddump spa. Deep pressure that hit every knot without leaving me tender the next day. For about $55, parking in the Pacific Rim Center garage is free for two hoursand the service beats any bougie spa downtown. Its weirdly perfect: rougharoundtheedges Seattle charm that actually works.

They have a calm place and good services. I will recommend them. I went their when my body was aching so bad, but after the foot and body massage, I'm ok now.

Excellent massage for a great deal. The massage therapists here really know their skill and give great deep tissue massages on top of the usual foot massage. I try to call ahead and tip them generously for their service.

This is the place you want to go to. Great massage at the lowest price. Highly recommend.

This was my first time coming in to get a Chinese foot reflexology and when I say it was the best. I had a bunch of tension in my legs and feet but after my 1 hour session all of my pain went away. I highly recommend IMPERIAL Foot massage to other's suffering from leg and feet pain at times. The price for what you are receiving is great and I left a nice tip. 10/10

Best foot massage I've ever had. Also, the funniest. I got tossed around like a rag doll. Found myself laughing throughout. The butt massage was participating entertaining. Ask for Andy!

Moderate massage. Nothing special

I saw the comments here and I was baffled. Have you given your loved one or yourself a massage? For me, After 5-10 minutes, my hands are tired already. These people here are hard at work, they charge 37$ for a whole hour of massage and you tip them 10%-15%? They make so little money compared to the normal establishments (at least mininum is 60$ per hr without tips). Have the decency to treat them like humans: tipping them 10 bucks per hour sounds like a normal move to me unless they are really rude and bad at their job.

What to expect here from my one time experience:
- Park on 3rd floor, there is a security guy to keep an eye on your car
- It's inside a mall w other Asian businesses/restaurants.
- The vibe is an open space with a lot of chairs turned into bed and they played calming music, everyone whispered when they talk so it doesn't affect the customers too much.
- 37$ for 1 hrs. I tipped 15$ bc my guy was really good and actually customized the massage to what i needed (hikers w sore legs)

This place is a diamond in the rough. Hidden gem for sure. They give you an amazing massage and the price doesn't even match the quality of the massage. You stay fully clothed and they do better than some of the spas in the area. I highly recommend this spot and I visit often. Very relaxing and they know what to do.

Great Asian message place. If your looking for a standard massage this is not it. This is more reflexology. I've been to many places like this in many different states. This is one of the good ones.

Go to relief

Best hour "foot-massage" the massage is whole circle.. head, neck, back, legs, feet
$38 + expected 20 tip = $58

Feeling so good after my massage! ~$55 for an hour full-body massage. Absolutely wonderful. Didn't have to say much, the man knew exactly what areas to work on after a few minutes of assessment. He applied good pressure, sometimes using his elbows too. 100% coming back again.

I tipped ~$25 myself. Didn't feel pressure to do so. I just really enjoyed the experience.

The best massage I have ever been, I will be returning to this place. Professional, high quality customer service. For $57 for adult massage. You feel relaxed at the end. I have never been relaxed this like, I encourage you visit this place. Thank you very much the team and Danny for the professional work.

A hidden gem

Really good place to get a real good foot massage. Still as of August 2024

Their prices are reasonable.
They have really good friendly hard working employees Eager to please customers.

Great customer service.

Great massage at a great reasonable price. Very comfortable, relaxing environment.

Clean spacious comfortable place.

They have been there for a very long time. As of my first visit November 2017
Nice convenient location.

Lots of parking inside the building. First 2 hours are free

I read a lot of reviews complaining about them tipping 20% Or extra $5.00. But those tippers are being really cheap, selfish, and inconsiderate.
I believe the tip in the massage industry should not be as percentage of the massage fee.
The Business charge $40.00 for massage ,and if the tip is 20% then it is only $8.00 Those massage workers make money from tips only. Not like the restaurants workers. There is a base pay plus tips. Those massage workers don't get paid any other money. So even if they do get 10 customers a day each .That's only $80.00 the whole day for 12hours. That's way too low.
After working really hard on a customer feet for a whole hour the worker if he gets 10% that's only $4.00 for working an entire hour, and if the worker gets 20% that's only $8.00for working an entire hour. Even if the worker gets 30% Still that is only $12.00 for working hard for an entire hour. So I don't understand how those customers are complaining about paying 20% tip when they are paying below minimum wage,even less than poverty wages to those workers who worked really hard on their feet to make them feel better. Some customers dont even tip. And that is even worse, and humililating.. So the worker worked hard to please & comfort a customer for an entire hour for free.

While all those customers expect best service., and because of these bad actions of some of the customers, those workers react the way those customers describe in their bad reviews.

Foot massage is a luxury. And is not a necessity.
If a customer can afford to pay around $40.00 for a foot massage, then definitely the customer can afford to pay at least $20.00 per massage, per hour as a tip .
You want to feel good after the massage, then make the worker who made you feel good , feel good too about working on your feet . Please don't humiliate them by giving them less than $20.00 tip per hour per massage

Be fair to other humans . Please treat other humans like how you expect to be treated.

Fabulous Foot and Body Massage, great service and Great Value!

Dont expect high end amenities, but for the price and the great massage, I think its worth it. They were able to accomodate our big group of 8 people same day with no problem (just call in advance to let them know). We all left feeling relaxed. If were in Seattle, well go again :)

I cant wait to go back.

I adore this place, I go every time Im in Seattle

Jameson knows how to work in my body. He knows where my body pain is that's why I always request for his service

My masseuse is very good. He knows what part of my body need some massage.

Very basic typical foot massage business. Good massage for the price. Seems to be lower priced than most competitors.

Dean is great! I went in today a bit nervous, but as soon as I walked in I felt a nice welcoming vibe. The whole appointment was relaxing and everything was explained in detail. Thank you Dean!

Great value! Please remember to tip your masseuse well :)

Solid massage place. Love their hours. This place always helps whisk away my lactic acid when I go too hard in the gym. Definitely call first for a reservation though, they are pretty in demand! Also love that they have their own parking garage with first hour free-a rare gem in Seattle!
Edited to add: well, my car got broken into the last time I went there (unless you take public transit, there's nowhere else viable to park.) I did not have anything valuable in there. Maybe make your visit earlier in the day when there are more people/cars in the parking garage than 8-9pm when I was there.

I've been going here for years, love it

Great foot massages, they aren't as quiet as they used to be though. The workers were talking constantly to each other, and not in whispers.

Best foot massage place in all of Seattle! Been coming here for years.

Always an amazing value

They really do a good job and the price is very reasonable.

Very nice and relaxing massage

Good place for the price . It would be great if the masseurs did not chat while massages are been done

Very nice and clean.

I've been coming here for years, and always get the 1 hour "foot massage" which includes arms, back, legs, neck, etc. The price was $29 for many years, but its been raised recently like everything else in Seattle to $40. And I always leave a $10+ tip which means I can still get a massage for around $50 including tax. Its not fancy, but the equivalent at many places is $100+ not including tip and tax. If you find someone you like, you can also ask for them by name when you call to reserve, usually same day. I've had massages in Xian and Beijing, and for me, the guys here are just as good if not better. Best ambiance was in Ubud, and another cool place is Caalolu Hammam, but those are far away.

Best hidden treasure in the international district. Definitely call ahead to be sure to get a chair.

If youre looking for a unique experience and possibly the best massage of your life (no matter which masseuse you get), go here! Best bang for your buck in the whole city, and they really know how to find the tight spots

Good price. Decent messages. Make appointment before showing up.

Very professional massage for good price !!! If you need a place for body relax and therapy at affordable price, this is the best choice in Seattle.

This place is great. Very friendly staff greet you at the door while soothing music plays in the background. I found Mandy, and Justin to be top notch workers. Providing stress relieving massage. I have been going in for a lower leg injury, and Mandy developed a routine that has helped the healing to begin. This place is a once or twice a week break from the daily grind.

Great fully body massage for very affordable prices. Highly recommend.

Can't beat the price. Great deal.

ANNA is amazing

Across from Joylee. Really nice massage

I've been a customer for almost 6-7years. My experience with them is getting better and better. Price is reasonable compared to the other places

I love this place!! Like most food massage places they have rows of community massage chairs, but there are also a few places in back for a private massage. It is very inexpensive, but the massages are first rate. Call ahead to get on the schedule because they are always booked.

Been going here for a couple of years, such an excellent deal on a reflexology massage.

Usually great massages, with the occasional so-so. On average one of the better places I've been to.

Always great service!

Excellent experience! And very reasonably priced. Highly recomend!

Great place to relax! 1 hour full body massage 29.00! They work out all the tension! Will definitely come back when Im in the city! Friendly staff!!! Nice and dark, with soft music while you are pampered!! Loved it!!!!

Reminds me of the good old days in Guangzhou when I used to get my feet rubbed after fishing for squid on the river.

This is my go-to for massages in the International district, they do much more than foots! Can be busy at peak times for call for a reservation.

Heavenly hour of pampering loosen spots that have been problem forever!!

I had a great experience! The price is very reasonable. I have been to other places that charge double the price. Thats why i left a big tip!!! Keep up the good work!

Amazing service & deep tissue 72 mins massage for $44.00 dollars. Make sure to call for appointment. My wife & I came out totally new bodies after massage. These massage guys & women were great massagers. Highly recommended!

Good place. Bring a good tip in cash.

Super needed self-care! The people there are very responsive, attends to every part of how I'm feeling, I even found myself giggling! Haha! Kind people and very relaxing environment, 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Message was great, I love when they climb all over me, pull my arms etc. Don't expect a gentle massage, the lady I had was digging in and getting stuff moving as they usually do at these kinds of places. It is across the hall from an event center so the music was really loud tonight (Saturday night at 9:15-10:45 ish). The massage chair didn't stink as I saw in another review. I got the 75 min massage for 46.00 (CC). They massaged front and back, arms, hands, head, neck, feet, legs Employees don't seem to know English so if you need the bathroom it's in the back left corner.

Such a great place for massage. And so cheap. I hope not many find out about this place else it'll be hard to find an appointment & they might just jack up their rates too!!

Update: ownership might have changed, not as great of a service anymore.

Such a deal! Wish that I lived here. I'd go everyweek.

Staff was friendly and professional and massage was great. $44 for 72 minute full body + foot massage

The peace and quiet was so amazing. My guy did such a great job! I have been knocking doors all summer, and that was the best way to treat myself after work season. HECK YES

Oh my goodness. I went in to imperial foot massage for a company trip for an hour long foot massage expecting mid-class service. (I have a couple massage therapists in my family) but I left very, very impressed. I had had an asthma attack over the weekend but this was so relaxing. And it wasnt not only a foot massage but from forehead to toes. It was amazing.

Great massage i go once a week

Great service for the price!

Very good massage. Targets problem areas and you feel great for months aftef.

Jamieson always give me a 5 star massage. All my body pain is gone the next day and i have a very good sleep..

Ive been going here for years. You get what you pay for. Pros, $28 cash for an hour massage, most masseuses are great, apply good pressure, and are courteous. Cons are the chairs are bit the most comfortable, at times you can smell cigarettes on the masseuse hand, and they demand a larger than 15% tip. I recommend it, just know what to expect.

Professional, relaxing and affordable. Worth a visit!

Best massage of my life but they started 45 minutes after my appointment. Im still happy!

Great prices. Little slow make an appointment

Very clean and quite. Very professional, would recommend.

Very good value, the agents work diligently at soothing your soar spots!!

They enforced a 20 dollar tip. Should've put that into the price itself

The guy who performed my massage worked out years of kinks. A week later and I'm still pain free! Highly recommend this place.

Very good massage. Got the 2 hour: 1 hr table, 1 hr foot. Full time, good pressure, excellent work, no hassling for tips (which I happily added). Privacy for the table, recliner for the foot. 5 stars against other Asian/International District massage parlors. Expect: lower rent type place, a preference for cash, and good value for your money.

I frequent this place about two times a month. Highly recommended.

You won't get a better massage ANYWHERE for the price. A MUST DO if you have never been here!

Cheap! My wife and I go here often and get the same massage for half the price. Drawback is that you're in the same room as everyone else, might no be for everyone.

You get what you pay for but I highly compliment this place for always finding a way to get me in without an appointment. Ive visited multiple times and always was greeted and shown a chair. They are professional and I always come out feeling refreshed from the $28 1 hour foot massage.

The establishment is clean but you are going to smell delicious dimsum from the restraurant across the way. Noise is also louder than a western massage experience but does not take away from the experience/service.

Pro Tip: Bring cash, using a card will incur a fee.

The BEST.

This place is classic. Not posting photo due to privacy reasons. This is a classic place for good 1 hour foot and body massage for cheap! I have been going there for years. Now whenever I return to Seattle, I visit the v place! You have to find the right masseuse!

My time at Imperial Foot Massage this afternoon was without doubt the most excellent hour of self-care I have gifted myself with in a long, long time. Oscar seemed to intutitvely and uncannily know exactly what I needed in the way of work. I cannot praise this amazing, theraputic place enough and I strongly recommend Imperial Foot Massage to everybody in Seattle and beyond. Heartfelt thanks for an amazing experince! I will be returning again and again.

I shouldn't share this with you! I want to keep this fantastic massage place my little secret!!

I don't want to tell you what a great deal it is; that for under $30 (cash price), you can get a 30 mins foot/leg massage, then a 15 mins back massage. You didn't hear from me that there's a 10 visit frequent visit card (1 free after your 10th visit).

But, I will tell you that the the comfy chairs don't have a comfy "face hole" for the back massage. Another bonus: there's free 2 hour parking in their garage.

Can't beat the price. Great deal.
