Bay Spa

Came here with my sister last week for a scrub. Clean facilities and friendly staff. I'm used to getting a cucumber mask instead of a paste during the service, but it was nice to try something different. There are two pools in the women's spa -- hot and cold.

Loved loved loved the massage chairs, I could have stayed in that room for hours.

Bay spaaaaaa finally one in the north bay! I missed SoCal spa palace and wi spa so much so I'm glad we have one like it in San Jose! This spot is $40 for the whole day as you're greeted with your own uniform and key for your locker!

What's included in the day pass is 3 different sauna rooms, 1 ice cold room, massage chairs (30min limit), separate men and women hot tub room, with steam room, cold plunge!, and sauna. There's also showers so you can feel clean and refresh afterwards! They also have a cafe area where you can order food!

I would definitely come back! The only reason I gave it a 4/5 is because the shared sauna rooms on the first floor are too small and aren't hot enough compared to the ones in SoCal also when you're inside the sauna on the shared floor it's not sound proof you hear people next door and outside which can cut into your relaxation time there.

This is a review of a general day pass experience. I've been a few times already, and I'm already considering buying a multi pass because of how nice it is to have a proper Korean spa in the Bay Area.

I've been to Wi Spa down in LA, and was not expecting anything of that caliber to be here up north. And while it isn't as grand or open to the wee hours of the morning, Bay Spa delivers in cleanliness, accessibility, and amenities.

The times I've went, it's never been too crowded, nor have I noticed any issues with the clientele. The staff are very nice and considerate, down to the new kitchen staff who pop in every now and then to ask how the food tastes in the cafeteria (really good btw).

It has the works - hot tubs, steam rooms, and a cold plunge for the gendered bath areas. Note - if you haven't been to an onsen or Korean spa before, know that you're completely in the nude in these areas. So know about this culture shock so you aren't taken off guard your first visit!

There's also a fleet of massage chairs with a variety of modes to fit whatever you need to loosen up. Me and my friends usually take the Kahuna chairs near the entrance tho since they have the screens and feel the most up to date.

On the ground floor, there are the common areas and heated/cooled rooms, which are co-ed. Here you can enjoy some time with your friends and family, and enjoy some food from the new kitchen! I come for the pampering but stay to fill my belly. The portions are huge, and luckily I was able to take my leftovers home.

I give this play 4/5 because it's a solid spa experience but definitely on a smaller scale compared to those in LA. The kitchen also can get backed up real easy on crowded days so best to plan when you'll have a meal in between your bath/sauna sessions.

SPA I can't compare this to any other Asian spa because I haven't been to other ones before, but I had a great experience here and spent the whole day here with a couple of friends.

You don't need to bring your own sandals because they provide you with sandals and what looks like a P.E. physical education uniform.

They also provide you with a locker that is included with the price.

FOOD they have a restaurant inside that allows you to really spend all day here haha. I'm curious to try their ramen next time. You order at a digital kiosk that is touch screen.

GENERAL Next time I would do one of the massage services and that grants you access to the entire spa.

This spa is excellent and it's next door to paiks noodles which is also excellent. The food inside the spa is not excellent. That is the worst tteokboki I've ever eaten in my life. Lots of amenities to enjoy and I especially liked the full body massage chairs.

Go to jjimjilbang for our family! My mom and I love the scrub and massage every time. The manager, Michelle, is always on top of making sure that everything goes smoothly. The food inside can be better but there are so many other food options in Santa Clara.

I came on a Wednesday morning for my
Birthday! Bummer there's no birthday specials when I asked the front desk but I was still ready to get scrubbed down. It's not my first time at a Korean spa but it was my first time here. I got a tour of the facility, which is a great touch that this place does. I booked the Aroma Therapy scrub for 90 min. Not sure if there was a specific smell happening during this because I didn't notice anything. But anyways, this was relaxing! What can be off putting to new comers and experienced people is that the scrub area is VERY open. It's in a separate room than the pools, which is nice and different from other Korean spas, but this one has no privacy between everyone getting scrubbed! It looked like they have curtains set up but they dont use them. Personally, I didn't mind but it was a new quirk to experience for sure.

Linda did my service and when it was time for the massage, I told her to do light pressure on my legs, and only on my legs, and she definitely delivered. She did great and I left the bath area feeling super clean and relaxed.

The kitchen is open! Lots of options. It's interesting that there was a kiosk but I guess thats silicon valley for you. The kiosk takes credit card instead of your bracelet.

To Bay Spa management, please add allergens on the menu items! I'm not confident on having a safe eating experience with a gluten intolerance.

What a lovely, peaceful place. I brought a book and disconnected from my phone.

It's not the biggest place, so I think it could easily feel crowded.

The locker room area has nice sofas that I was hoping to lounge on with a face mask, but because it was so close to the spa it smelled really heavily of chlorine and I abandoned that idea.

The warm rooms were very nice, but while I was trying to relax in the Jade room something kept banging on the other side of the wall and I had to give up and walk out.

I ate at the onsite cafe. I ordered the bibimbap and the portion was HUGE. I wasn't expecting side dishes, so I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and amount. I felt the $20 price tag (there was a tax-free special when I went) was reasonable.

Out of my love for kspas, a friend of mine recommended we visit Bay Spa in Santa Clara. She said it was an experience, and she was absolutely on point about that. From check in to the service, everything went extremely smooth, and I loved how clean and up to date everything was kept. After a 60-minute body scrub and massage, my friends and I decided to sit down and relax in the state-of-the-art massage chairs they have on the 2nd floor. Following the massage chairs, we decided to head down to the cafe for something to eat. A top notch kspa offering mouthwatering food is an A++ in my book! We ordered bibimbap and a seafood pancake to share. Everything was prepared deliciously, and the prices were less than other comparable places in the area due to the fact that they don't charge tax! I've become a fan of Bay Spa and look forward to my next visit!

To my Russian brothers, please keep it down. This is not a banya. There are signs plastered everywhere to be quiet. Not unless management starts enforcing, this is not the place for peace and quiet.

With that out of the way, Bay Spa is probably the best Korean spa in the Bay Area and resembles the likes of Wii Spa or Palace Spa in Southern California. There are multiple heated rooms and one cold room in the co-ed area for you to relax on the first floor. There's a restaurant on the first floor as well that serves traditional overpriced korean food and bingsu. We ordered a mild ramen $13 and a beef tofu soup $22 and thought both were mid at best. On the second floor, you'll find gender specific wet areas that include a jacuzzi, cold plunge, steam room and sauna. On the second floor, you'll find a large rest area with 2 dozen zero gravity massage chairs that can be used for 30 mins each visit.

Overall, the facility is well thought out and clean. 5/5!
