I don't think those places you visit are so called "semi legits". They lean more toward holistic and yes most holistic places are not worth it, I'd say 80% of the time. If you want to see Asians with good and full service go to a reputable SP, MW, BH, and ASB to name a few. Girls at places like Candy spa and Premier chains don't actually provide any sort of massage. It is mostly light rubbing, just to break the ice between client and mp. Semi-legits on the other hand focus on actual massage, not RMT level but close. Just relax, E&M, and J&L are mentioned the most in this board.
I Quit Asian Holistic. I would agree with you then.
