Not a bad massage actually, and it was fun.. but.. I hate the bait and switch.  Wont go back because of that.  

I’m not sure why there were no responses here. There are a number of old threads and some threads specific to one spa or masseur, but nothing very recent on the overall LA spa scene and the LA threads don’t tend to stay very active. I was going to post a new thread but figured I would revive this one instead (if I am missing something, please let me know).
I think there is a lot to be experienced right now in the LA spa scene. ☺️ I don’t want to speak specifically to anything like extras in a forum like this, but I will say I have had consistently fantastic massage experiences in LA spas.
Some of the best experiences have been at spas like these:
The Sense Massage and Wellness Center (WeHo)
Sparadise Massage and Wellness (WeHo)
Sparadise La Brea
Candle Spa (Studio City)
YoLo Foot Spa (Glendale)
I have had mediocre (but somewhat eventful) experiences at spas like these:
Prince Mens Spa
Silver Lake Wellness Spa
Ananda Spa
Wilshire Foot Spa
There are still a number of spas I would eventually like to try, among them The Rhyme Massage and Wellness Center (new and discussed in another thread) and Totally Smooth Skin.
I will give a big RIP to Blue Moon Thai Spa (now Silver Lake Wellness) and Samaran Massage TT (North Hills) where I had some great experiences in the past.
Anyone else care to share updated thoughts on the LA spa scene? I think it is having a bit of post-COVID resurgence.

Well-said.  Frankly, I think it's bad form to even ask that question on a public forum without adding "send details only via PM please."

I used to go to The Raven spa in Silverlake a few times every year.  If Nikom and/or Chai are still working there, they are both absolutely fantastic Thai Thai-Masseurs.  NO EXTRAS at The Raven, this is a perfect non-erotic Thai Massage

Maybe there’s a business opportunity awaiting. 

Don't think so. I'm a regular and during COVID went to his place in WeHo often. I've known him to be at Candle Spa for at least the last five or six years personally. 

There were a ton more massage parlor options with male masseurs a few years back in SD. There were about a dozen places I knew of that had masseurs. Not so much these days. Most used to advertise on Craigslist, but nowadays they are hard to find.
For many years now, my go-to Asian massage place is Cascade Spa on Fifth Ave. They have masseurs versus just women.  It’s affordable and the guys I’ve had there know what they’re doing. 

May I ask where you are getting your information? Unless this has personally happened to you or a loved one then this is absolutely fear mongering. I have been to PV twice in the last year and have a friend who lives near Zona Romantica. I walked alone day and night and had zero issue and always felt safe. I have encountered police and have had no confrontation or hostility. I agree with the other person who stated that they felt safer walking alone in PV than they do in certain American cities. As others have said here, I am not saying things like this never happen (just as shootings, theft, crime and corruption also happen in American cities) but insinuating that it is the norm is completely inaccurate.

Would love to hear as well.  These guys move around so much (especially the younger twinky ones it seems) I’ve lost track of who is where. 

Bumping this. I used to see Brian at the old Full Moon, was amazing. Also normally have another specific spa/masseur but that masseur is on leave. Any other LA asian spa suggestions?
