New York Spa & Sauna

Honestly, this was a very chill experience. I don’t really go to spas, but I would go here again. Keep in mind this is not really upscale kind of spa. This is more of a local chill spa but I think for $40 it was worth it. I will give an early warning cause I also recommended this to someone else and they were shocked when they went in the locker rooms lmfao everyone is butt naked and the pool and Jacuzzi are also in the locker rooms. And yes they are also butt naked in there too. You also don’t wear any footwear but the floors are super heated and you also get this uniform that you have to wear which is just a shirt and some shorts. On the second floor are tge sauna and you get four different types. I recommend mineral and salt one. You also get an ice room. There’s also a food court there with decent Korean food however, I recommend you eat at the Korean barbecue that’s literally attached to the spa. Like when you enter, there’s a glass door that separates the Korean barbecue place to the lobby. And it’s like $20 for lunch special. I recommend you eat there first and then relax in the spa for another plus right next to the spa is a karaoke place.So if you and like four friends wanna do an all day thing I recommend going here. What I did was eat Korean barbecue, then went straight to the spa and right after I went to the karaoke place. There is also free parking.

I was extremely disappointed with my visit. This business feels like an unofficial gay sauna, with management choosing to look the other way. During my visit on a Tuesday evening—not even a busy weekend—I witnessed multiple patrons engaging in explicit sexual behavior in the steam room, including full sexual acts. To make matters even more confusing, there’s a sign inside the sauna that reads, “Love is not about holding your farts.” I’m not sure what message they intend to send with that, but it certainly doesn’t help create a professional or respectful atmosphere. I paid $40 to use the facilities and did not expect or consent to being placed in an environment like this. I left far earlier than planned. When I reported the situation to the manager, he showed no concern and simply told me: “You should have talked to the security guy.” The only staff member I saw was someone occasionally cleaning the facilities and stepping into the steam room, and it was never clear he was responsible for monitoring behavior. I’ve visited many Korean saunas across the U.S., and I’ve never had an experience remotely like this. At other locations, guests behave respectfully and the atmosphere is completely non-sexual. Unfortunately, that was not the case here, and I cannot recommend this place to anyone seeking a legitimate, relaxing spa experience.

Despite some negative reviews, my personal experience at New York Spa & Sauna was pretty good. My husband and I went on a Friday morning, and it was very quiet, not crowded at all. It’s a typical Korean-style sauna. Yes, it looks a little older and worn in some areas, but everything felt clean. I’m very picky about cleanliness — I literally checked corners, floors, even looked around the tubs to see if there were hairs or anything — and I didn’t notice dirt, at least in the women’s section (not sure about men's section) We paid the $40 admission and also got massages. It was more of a traditional Korean, acupressure-style massage (strong, point-focused), not a soft spa massage — but I felt great after. I completely relaxed and even fell asleep. The food was good, simple but satisfying. I’ve been to more luxurious, high-end spas, but this place feels more local. It has the basic things you need to relax and recharge. We stayed about five hours, rested, ate, had massages, and enjoyed our time. Overall, I’m satisfied and would come back again.

My husband and I had a peaceful and enjoyable visit. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and we appreciated the quiet summer afternoon. However, I was very uncomfortable when a woman entered the sauna wearing soaked undergarments and socks. While I understand some guests may feel shy about being nude, proper Korean sauna etiquette is essential to maintaining a clean and respectful space for everyone. Wearing wet clothing in the sauna not only feels unhygienic but also makes it uncomfortable for other guests who are following the rules. I brought up my concern to the front desk before leaving. I hope the spa will take steps to enforce proper dress code more clearly—whether through signage, reminders, or staff presence—so that all guests can enjoy the space respectfully.

I went here as a quick escape to rest and reset, and it was exactly what I needed. The body scrub made me feel like a completely new person, the massage helped melt away stress from both work and personal life, and the hair wash was unexpectedly one of the most relaxing parts of the whole visit. Sometimes you don’t realize how tense you are until you actually slow down for a few hours, and this experience really helped me fully relax. The atmosphere is calm, clean, and easy to settle into, and the staff made the whole visit feel comfortable and unhurried. Honestly, I didn’t want to leave. Definitely recommend if you need a mental and physical reset.
