FunJay 139 Report post Posted May 22, 2011 Let me confirm that after much probing....I was finally able to find the back door. You have to squeeze through a tight little spot, but once through....low and behold, the brown back door! :-) I entered and exited with ease.... All it took was some back and forth communication -- "a bit left.... a bit down....now straight ahead..." Because of today's rain it was actually even a bit wet and slippery on the way in..... :-) ps-the back door does exist just around the corner from Bank. Nice and discreet. Just ask politely and they will let you enter and exit that way! Full review on the way... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tantric 350 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 I am glad you found the place and that you along with others are enjoying my find. I look forward to reading your review and I shall get back there and do another review, maybe of a different lady. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ottawaadventurer 5114 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 Went for my second visit and met Winnie - "as in, the poo" she said. Good massage, nice finish, charming girl. Couldn't use the back door to get it, but was offered the option for my exit. A good find. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O'Cahla 4352 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 Have heard both addresses mentioned in these responses. Are they all referring to 256 bank or is there a separate one at 217 bank THanks, Bryan Additional Comments: if so do you have contach info and details on BOTH locations. Have been to 256 and was a very nice experience Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FunJay 139 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 This thread is all about 217 Bank Street... Which is Top Massage. I think it is a fairly new place and as you can see generally good reviews... 256 Bank is a few blocks away on the other side of the street and has been around much longer....

samchoc 100 Report post Posted June 5, 2011 I have never been to a massage parlours and i am curious about it :) Can someone pm me and explain to me in details what i should expect from a visit there... Thank you people! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samchoc 100 Report post Posted June 6, 2011 Ive been to 177 StJoseph yesterday and enjoyed it. The Lady was cute and she had good hands. The only thing really that i didnt enjoy was the place itself. Not really clean and it looked like a "bordel" more than a massage parlour. The lady was very charming and she had good hand, very strong for such a small stature. I dont think i should be talking about the amount i paid for the service here but if someone could please pm me so i cant see if i got robed lol :icon_exclaim: I would like to know where in Ottawa/Gatineau/Hull is the place to go for a good service at a good price... Id like to visit a place often but it could get very expensive :? Anyway i enjoyed my first time! When i left i was feeling good and relaxed :smile: Thanks for reading my comment!!!

Thank you people! Sam, here are a couple of good threads that might give you some ideas: http://cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=53343 http://cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=51580 The best bet, though, is to pick a reputable parlour (like CMJ) or independent (like Megan'sTouch) and just let them know it's your first time. Be respectful and you'll be well taken care of... :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest K***an Report post Posted June 21, 2011 As a fan of traditional Chinese massage and hospitality, I cannot say enough about the service I have received from Michelle. She performs a back walking massage that is comparable to those offered in China and Thailand. What a surprise when I was offered a hot tub afterward! She also told me that she is schooled in traditional Chinese healing methods like gua sha. A nice little gem in the downtown core to be sure! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FalconHawk 287 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 Interesting thread. I went to this place a number of times when it first opened and there were absolutely no extras. The little window in the doors should have been my first clue. Have things really changed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suggest to try again. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ledude 100 Report post Posted June 29, 2011 I went there a few weeks ago and met a wonderful Asain lady in her mid 30's. Wonderful massage, good ending, she kept saying my skin was s smooth that she loved it :). Can somebody PM the rates to me? I want to make sure I'm not missing out on something. I plan to go there again soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigwilly 933 Report post Posted August 29, 2011 I ended up at YES healthcare this afternoon after being called into work and then not really having to be there. I was a little stressed and sore from riding my bike. I have been in there a few times and well never had an experience like i did today! First off i was really just looking for a massage and the extras were more of a second thought. I had no idea what i was in for when she walked in. I really should have got her name from her but i was a little bit more relaxed then usual after. All i can say is that if you are thinking of getting a massage and are in that part of town, go there. Massage is top notch and the extras are well worth the slight embarrassment walking out right on to bank. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ottawaadventurer 5114 Report post Posted August 29, 2011 Forgive me if I'm wrong, but i am pretty sure discussing prices here is frowned upon.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bushwacka 531 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 The premises are a tad dimly lit, but clean and pleasant. Judy, a beautiful asian, greeted me and quickly got to work. Her massage was perfect, through all the ups and downs of the full hour. If you want an actual massage (relaxation of course), then she is the one. Her hands are firm, her touch is responsive, and her body is, well, eye-catching. Well worth a quality visit (but do not expect lots of extras and options).

I agree with you, Bush, except for the last comment. Asian places are always YMMV. Tip: Most of the time, the MA will ask you if it's your first time here. Never say yes!!! If she asks who you saw, just say you don't remember or can't pronounce the name. You can also say one of those "generic" asian names like Cici or Coco. MA's turnaround in parlors is so consistently regular, so unless you're speaking to one of the operators or managers, attendants have no clue who was there a month before.
