  Been coming to this spa since it opened, though not as frequently as of late. I’ve been to all the K spas in the LA/OC area (and to several in South Korea). Here’s where Spa Hyu shines: Of all LA/OC spas, Hyu is the cleanest. Has the best jimjilbang (ambience, lazy boy chairs, clean facility). Has the consistently best wifi — great for working spa days. Also, they have the best food. Great quality and moderately priced. No other K spa in SoCal can compare in these areas. These are the drawbacks (for men) : the wet area is small. Also, it seems like this place has become a cruising place for gay men looking to hookup inside the sauna. I’ve walked into the steam room and sauna several times where it was obvious that I was interrupting something. I’ve seen a few guys walking around with erections openly despite this being a family friendly facility. The steam room and sauna are both tiny. The steam room fits only 3 people and is dimly lit — guys seem to hook up in here the most. When it’s busy, the same people hog the steam room. They go in and out and dip in the cold plunge (without showering their sweat off first) and immediately go back in the steam room. Other patrons can never seem to use that facility. The dry sauna is my favorite of all the K spas bc it’s a true sauna and it’s well maintained. Problem is no matter how I try to relax, when it’s a busy time other patrons will go in and out repeatedly within a short time (doesn’t seem like they’re actually using the sauna, but rather like they’re on a mission to find a hook up partner). They’ll come in and nervously tap their feet, eyes wandering and gawking even at times at private areas. They have spas like Joy Sauna and Flex which openly allows this behavior, I don’t understand why these same people are now coming to Hyu to cruise for hookups. I have told management and they do try to catch people, but it isn’t easy. I will say that Wi Spa now scans IDs every time and they patrol the men’s steam room, showers, and sauna regularly. I have noticed that Wi Spa is not as cruisy as before. Would be nice if Hyu could do the same so they can weed out that clientele and we can finally enjoy Hyu as a legitimate spa. And hopefully my Korean father will feel comfortable returning again too.

  Everything is perfect except theyre missing emergency emesis bags or any health emergency kit in general, be careful if you or a loved one has issues with heat! They have four levels of heat in the coed section, starting as little as 60°f all the way up to 180°f! And be careful in the cold room, theyve lined part of the walls with glass chunks and some arent smoothed out all the way! Other than those I highly enjoyed the experience and most certainly will come again, highly recommend a long stay there, the basic admission has an amazing selection of spa treatments too! 40$ gets you A LOT here!

  I visited the location for the 1st time today. I enjoyed my deep tissue message, I would recommend Linda, she is a pleasant person and very friendly . Overall the atmosphere was nice and I thought for the price point the location offered a lot of amenities. Before leaving, I stopped by their café to order shrimp, fried rice, and a strawberry banana smoothie. Perfect for someone with a late evening appointment that way you have dinner prior to getting home, all you have to do is just relax and prepare for bed.

  The main hall is not well ventilated and very warm. It was so hot, it made the charcoal room felt cool. Even the cold room was not cold (it was room temperature). The thermostat said it was 90 degrees in the main area. When we were there, the spa was quite full too so it was even more warm due to that. Our group had asked multiple times to lower the AC and the spa said it was the coolest they could do. we then asked for a partial refund since we could not stand the heat and the spa denied. I do not agree with how this business is being ran. Spa Hyu is driving away customers by not taking in consideration of the comfortability of their facility. Not even offering a PARTIAL refund is absolutely ridiculous when their spa is literally as hot as the outside temps!!! Super disappointed by how things were handle.

  Main area is kept at 90 degrees Fahrenheit, way too hot and uncomfortable for our party. I would take into account the temperature before booking here. I left with a heat induced migraine. My family and I visit this spa often, but after today we will be reconsidering. We had to leave early since the heat and stuffiness was unbearable. It’s so warm in the main area, it’s the same temperature as outside (where there’s a heat advisory) and it’s almost the same temp as the charcoal room. The charcoal room actually felt cooler because it felt less stuffy. The cold room was almost room temp and was packed with people trying to cool off. Multiple people were fanning themselves or drenched with sweat. We’ve asked multiple times for the AC to be lowered, where staff informed us that it was the lowest the AC could go. No other measures were taken to help with the heat, no fans or anything were put out. Our family came to celebrate two birthdays and were hoping to relax. We were not able to relax at all and instead wasted $200 at this not enjoyable establishment. We asked if we could get a partial refund, which the spa stated they could not. They offered us travel size soaps as an apology, which I declined.
