I don't know anything about this place and I haven't been to New York in a long time, but I do know that all over the country Asian Massage Parlors are prospering by undercutting the price of other providers.  Outside the city, having an established incall location gives them a built-in advantage cuz it's easy to schedule with them and entails no extra expense on the client's part.  Often the ladies are very new to this country and speak very limited English.  This may explain some of the price discount because a certain part of the market is closed to someone who barely speaks English.

I've gotten to know a couple of the ladies in my CT area and they didn't seem forced into their job.  They had their own cars and apartments and were sometimes willing to meet me at their place or a local hotel.

As with everything, it takes all kinds and all kinds probably exist.  Asian or no, there are certainly people doing what they want and what they don't want.  I've occasionally heard of captive operations, and not all asian.  I suspect it's not common and it never seemed that way at the many asian places I've been to.

Of course, this is my experience and may not apply to anything else!

i have not seen any scenario where the gals were not allowed to leave. most of them go on extended leaves....like a couple of months or more. that doesn't seem like coersion to me. but if they stay, they do what the mama-san says.

business has been slow, so they tell me.

There are almost a dozen AMPs just like East of Paradise in New York, all charging $$ for FS, plus occasionally a requested  tip.  I assume none of the providers have green cards, so their employment choices will always be limited to restaurants, fruit stands, domestic work, AMPs, and other IRS-free situations.  But these girls are not being jailed at these places.
