Our setting for this entry is the same odd little plaza where Platinum Spa is located, across from the Walmart at Kennedy and Sheppard.
NHK was occasionally reviewed here in the past; Lemon Spa took its place at some point (maybe just after COVID ended?).
On a whim, I drove to the plaza earlier this week and walked in to Lemon Spa.
The space seemed pretty well the same as in the NHK days - cleaner than what I remember, but in distinct need of a fresher look.
I was surprised to learn 3 women were on duty that afternoon.
I went with Wendy, slim, average face and about 5 feet 6 inches, who smiled a lot but spoke practically no English.
Ended up in a room in back with its own shower (no doubt another NHK legacy)
Massage was great, a mix of good pressure and also some meridian point pressure with her fingers all over my back. Very methodical, like she had just completed some training (?).
I enjoyed myself so much that I did not press for an HE - neither was one directly offered, but let's just say she let her hands do the talking through some repeated grazes.
Paid woman at front desk $50 for 45 minutes on my way out.
Not a super high-mileage place, but for those looking for a good massage with some of the typical fun within semi-legit standards, a viable budget option.
