I love the massages at Iyana on Geary. I go every 2 months and they always do a great job to loosen up my neck and shoulders. Lily has been my masseuse the past 2 times and she has done an extraordinary job She has excellent pressure control (hard for upper body and medium for lower body)

Iyara (Haight) used to be my "go to" place, with great staff, pricing and quality of the traditional Thai massage on the mat. Sad to say all or most of that has now changed. They've added the usual tables in addition to the traditional Thai mats, and last couple of times they insisted on using the tables (why come here if you could get that at any other place). Secondly, prices have skyrocketed e.g. $175+tip for a 90 min massage. For this much money, I'd expect much more e.g. steam room, or sauna, and really really incredible massage! (And the menu with prices on Google maps is wrong i.e. $100 for 90 mins, so don't be misled). The massage itself wasn't bad, but it was just ok. Not like the ones I've had before with excellent staff (Anita or Ploy - they've since retired). Too light a pressure, partly my lack of communication, but otherwise not being able to find my knots... and the table, not the mat, did not make for a decent Thai massage experience. And the sticker shock of paying nearly double of what you thought you owed. While this place is still better than the average, unfortunately, its not for me anymore. I will have to say, I do Not recommend this place anymore. Thank you for these past years Iyara- please bring those back! 🙏

I came down to Iyara Thai Massage for Swedish session today after a long day at work and afterwork run. I was normally having massage twice a week when I was back home in my country. I had such a great time. Pat was great! She was very calm and I felt so relaxed during the massage and after. I also fell asleep because it was so relaxing. Very highly recommended for the Swedish session with Pat! The room is so comfy and warm. I love it! The place is super clean and beautiful. The massage required the clothes to be off but I did not feel uncomfortable at all. It wasn't hard to find parking as well. I got parking spot in front of the massage place, so convenient! The room temperature is perfect. The place is easy to find. It is located on Geary street between 7th and 8th Avenue. I will come back for more :)) Thank you so much for such a great experience making my day after work run so much relaxing and wonderful! I highly recommended Pat with Swedish Session and this place if you are looking for Thai and Swedish massage with very professional masseuse! You won't regret :))

The best massage in the area, it’s literally walking distance 2 mins away. Granted as a Muay Thai Boxer this was my first time trying a Thai massage. I’m not usually one to spend $100 dollars on a massage, but this was worth every penny. They gave me a sheet that let me circle the areas I wanted them to focus on, genius. The facility is small because it’s in the city but feels extremely spacious at the same time. Brown wood finishes throughout the building and beautifully Thai tradition set up rooms to make you feel like you’re really on vacation. To add the cherry on top they served a hot decaf Thai fruit tea that made me feel like I was in the show Avatar the Last Air Bender. Of course I tipped, and I am not a wealthy man by any means. If I could give this place 6 out of 5 stars I would.
