Not as busy as my often to go milk tea shop in Chinatown, I always stop here to grab some milk tea for myself & parents when I am in South End area. Walk about 10mins from my parents' place. Yummy for the tummy! read more

The honey lemonade was delicious! I loved it with the boba. The inside of the place was cozy and had cool decorations on the walls. The one complaint I have is that the entrance was not accessible at all. The step was loose and it was hard to navigate going in. If I didn't have the door to hold onto, I would have tripped! I am visually impaired and there was no contrast with the steps either. But overall, I had a good experience. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Honey Lemonade - Bubble Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

My least favorite Kung Fu Tea location. We got the most popular flavor, a large taro milk tea with less ice and less sugar with plain boba. What we received didn't look or taste like taro milk tea. We confirmed if it was really taro and they said yes. We assume they made it with black tea and so the color was off but it also just tasted like brown sugar milk tea. I don't know what was 'taro' about it. The 'less sugar' was still so sweet that IDK what full sugar would be. On top of that, the boba was sweetened. Like, why? Why should regular boba be that sweet? It was a sugar rush for sure, but not what we ordered. read more

My mother enjoys her taro milk tea at Kung Fu Tea. I've noticed a couple of ongoing issues that really need attention. First, the bricks at the entrance are loose and scattered, which is a major safety concern. It has been like this for over a year and getting worse. My mother uses a wheelchair, and it's extremely difficult--and even dangerous--for her to get inside safely. It's disappointing that accessibility hasn't been better addressed. I've brought it to the attention of the staff and they are dismissive. Second, there have been times when we've come during posted business hours only to find a handwritten "on break" sign and the store temporarily closed. I totally understand that employees need breaks, but there should be better communication or staffing to avoid this kind of surprise for customers. I'm sharing this in the hopes that it helps improve the experience for everyone--especially those with mobility challenges. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Entrance to Kung Fu Tea Symphony Massachusetts Ave. Boston - Bubble Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Popped in here on a Tuesday night while walking to the car. We were able to quickly order our drinks and get them. I got the Thai tea and it was so tasty and sweet. My friend got the taro tea but without the added sugar. She said it was delicious as well. I would definitely come back. read more

Solid boba spot. They sometimes make mistakes with the orders (missing boba in a hot drink, wrong ice level) but the people are really nice here, and I like their drinks a lot, so I just come and risk it :) My go-to is the wintermelon green milk tea. I think the shop extended their hours, so now they are open until 11 pm, which I appreciate! read more

Kung Fu Tea - Mango Green Tea with bubbles! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

great servixe good food good location good price good workers and it's a good atmosphere

I told them no ice but they filled the cup with ice what did I pay $20 for ice and it's not just one time every time we go they constantly add a bunch of ice every time I ask for no ice and they always say I didnt hear you every time read more

The Boba is super yummy and there's lots of flavors! The location is really convenient to level 99 and the food court

I've enjoyed KFT at many other locations but this store was only so-so for me. While my wintermelon green milk tea was nicely flavored, the boba was rather hard and undercooked in the center. Service was prompt but not particularly friendly - perhaps I visited on an off day. On the plus side, this store has a bright, spacious interior with ample seating. And by paying through the Kung Fu Tea app, you can get a free drink after two purchases and frequent deals like free toppings or discounted drinks. I may come back if there's a really good drink deal and I'm in the area, but will otherwise opt for other boba shops in Newbury and Chinatown. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Wintermelon green milk tea with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

So if you're sick of pictures of me And the legs and high heels of Barbie There's one antidote Get some balls in your throat Get Lemon Black at Kung Fu Tea! I have a massive soft spot for this Kung Fu Tea because it was the first one I ever tried in Boston, and coming to Boston was seminal (not semenal, that was New York), and it was my first stop for Boba in town, and I loved it. That's because it's right near the gym which I like to use when I'm in Boston - about 5 minutes walk from this store, which makes it even more awesome. And Que Sera, Sera Whatever will be, will be The future is Kung Fu Tea Que Sera, Sera What to get: Lemon Black Tea With Tapioca! Or: All the fruit teas are pretty good, especially if you go off menu and get black tea! Or: Go crazy and order your fruit teas with the very strong Oolong! Or in winter: Any of the hot milk teas! Which milk teas are best: Honey Oolong! Oolong! Maybe Taro or Almond! I also love the regular milk tea with Oreo! Service was nice and the place was absolutely packed wall-to-wall with people, which made it even more nice. I like to be in busy places, it makes me feel ever so slightly alive. The lemon black tea was definitely tasty, and the decor is awesome, imaginative, bright and adorable, even in the bathrooms. I love the neon blue lighting, it reminds me of Barbie or a red light district (same thing really). I'm surprised to say this is probably my favourite Kung Fu Tea location in Boston - and believe me I tried all of them - probably because of the decor, the popularity, but the fact that it's not claustrophobic and is in a great area. Way bigger than it looks on the outside, for sure, just like Barbie's, oh man is that the time, better wrap up this review. Actually let's RAP up this review: It's been 10 minutes, and I'm DUE For another drink from Kung FU So now I'm going to rap for YOU And if it really sucks, just BOO So if you and your bf are THROUGH And you need something (someone) to DO Let me show you how my legend "GREW" And all my urban myths are TRUE Be glad your sister never KNEW What we did, or she'd want me TOO So do me like they do the DEW And I'll stick atop you like GLUE There is no taming of this SHREW I'll be the driver, you the SCREW You the river, me CANOE Or you can be Barbie's sexy SHOE Me Roger Daltrey, you the WHO You Chinatown Houston, me LOU Me dictator, you my COUP You Nepal, me KATHMANDU You 80s radio, me CUTTING CREW You a doctor's office, me the FLU You the Synagogue, me the JEW You the toilet, me the POO Wait, what Anyway Those boys will have to join the QUEUE And wait until I'm done with YOU You'll bounce like a KANGAROO Cause we're lovers, not fighters like FOO And when we're done (in a day or TWO) After I've made your kitty MEW And after I've finally WITHDREW Then it's time to go to Kung FU!

As a former Northeastern Husky, I've been to this KFT plenty of times. In terms of bubble tea in the area, I feel safest coming here for consistent quality and somewhat quick service! I'd recommend most of their drinks as I haven't had one that I dislike. I usually go for their milk oolong tea or one of their yogurt drinks if I'm in the mood for something fruity. Their mango slush is particularly good on hot summer days while you can always get a warm milk tea for those cold summer nights :) Their quality is always decent ( like most chains ) and there's ample space to sit and enjoy your drink or do work if you'd like with complimentary wifi! As a much needed staple for bubble tea near the Symphony area, I honestly would choose Kung Fu Tea above all other options nearby. I'm sure I'll continue stopping by whenever I'm close for their good drinks and fast service. Thanks KFT! read more

All KFT locations are great to me. You're able to customize your own sugar and ice levels to your own liking. Be prepared, it'll be filled with college students since it's really close to NEU. I've been here numerous times and they always make my drink perfectly. My go to is their taro milk tea with 70% sugar and less ice. Or their oolong milk tea with less ice if you still want that tea taste. This location has a good chunk of seating to hang out and chat with friends unlike the other locations. This location in particular is so conveniently located to everything. Plus it's right off the green line and very close to the orange line which makes this super T friendly! read more

Staff was speedy, the Oreo wow milk and taro milk tea was delicious! The store was clean. Highly recommend.

Solid bubble tea option in the area! I think their quality got much better over time since I first tried them two years ago. Their sunshine pineapple tea and the wintermelon green milk tea are popular because they are really good! The milk tea is nice and creamy and doesn't taste watered down (I'm looking at you Chatime...). Their pearls are on the firmer/chewier side. Sometimes I get an undercooked pearl but generally the pearls are cooked through. They give a decent amount of toppings so that you finish the topping+drink at the same time. Toppings are an additional 50¢ or more, but that's typical of bubble tea shops in the area. You can customize most drinks hot/cold, drink sweetness, and ice level. They don't charge you extra if you ask for no ice in a cold drink. read more

Great! Thank you to the kind staff! Yummy teas and a clean atmosphere. Will definitely come back! read more

The Lychee Green Tea is my absolute favorite--it's the perfect balance of sweetness and freshness. The shop itself is clean, modern, and a great place to relax with friends. read more

the staff are really nice and they have a clean bathroom. nice atmospher/place to linger Oreo wow is goodddddd

Kung Fu Milk Tea is always enjoyable. Flavors are always consistent and never disappoints. This location has great customer service and lots of seating for hang outs. I dropped my boba on the floor outside the door once and they replaced both of them without me asking. They even gave me a bag to help me carry it even though it says to bring your own bag. Overall great bubble tea place and always fills my craving for boba! read more

Stopped by this spot on my way home (did a weekend roadtrip from NY) since I was craving bubble tea with my friend and also needed to use the bathroom. I was surprised that it was so spacious inside and they even have a decent sized bathroom for customers to use. They made our drinks well and I was very happy we came here. The decor is also very cute. Plenty of tables and seating for chilling. A solid place for bubble tea! It matched the kung fu tea I usually get in NY. read more

Decided to get boba after walking around for awhile. It was super refreshing. Tried this place in Vegas before and really liked it so wanted to try their location in Boston. They weren't really busy when we went so our order came quickly. read more

I mean it's okay. Coming from a California town where there's literally 1-2 boba shops on every block, I wasn't super impressed. But it did fulfill my craving for milk tea so thank you for existing! This is one of the better boba shops I've had in Boston! Drinks are pretty consistent, although kind of small for the price. There's also lots of tables to sit at, so it's large group friendly. They also have WiFi, which makes it tempting to stay and study and order more drinks as well. read more

Quality boba tea for a reasonable price! Also plenty of nondairy options that are really nice for accessability :)

The location is right next to the Symphony Metro station. The reception is not welcoming and unfriendly. My favourite Original Cocoa Cream Wow is not good as the one I tried in other branches. Only cash or Paying by Kung Fu app is accepted, which is weird as I can pay by cards in many other Kung Fu stores read more

This boba chain has great boba with a variety of selections. You can customize the sugar, ice levels and toppings. They constantly invent new flavors, and their original, popular flavors are always perfect. What I like the most about this boba chain is their mobile app that not only enables you to pay with your phone, but also collects reward points. When you have racked up enough points, you get a $4 drink as well as exclusive offers as loyalty rewards. It just grows my boba obsession even more. It's also a great place to hang out with your friends, since it's got free wifi and clean seating! read more

bubble tea! KFT is a staple here in symphony. consistent service and quality boba. I like the KF milk tea with boba. 30% sugar and less ice. post COVID the store is clean and limits foot traffic. online ordering is recommended for additional perks like free boba. read more

It's Kung Fu tea, needless to say more. I usually have passion fruit tea but I wanted to try something new this time so I ordered the Top1 drink, which is strawberry lemonade green tea, with nata jelly and aloe vera. I enjoyed the flavor and the right level of sweetness. Perfect for summer. Free wifi is a plus! read more

Fast service and a large variety of menu options, the only local boba store that is open late that I know of

Standard KFT location at a pretty prime location along the Mass Ave intersection. I work near Prudential along Huntington Avenue and I always find an excuse to venture into the Symphony/NEU area so that I can grab a large taro slush (less sugar with boba). With it being so close to a university and the amount of foot traffic at this intersection, don't be surprised to see the line at this place get pretty long and the wait for your drink to be agonizing. It does seem like a chill place to get some work done and I've never had a bad experience here. I will continue to sneak out of work to get here, haha. read more

Kung Fu Tea at Mass Ave has snow cream now. For $5.50, you can pick your snow cream flavor out of 6 options (Original, Thai Tea, Chocolate, Mango, Matcha, Banana) and one add- in is included. Their add-ins however are limited to what you might normally add to their teas. So no fruit. No mochi cubes. Both of which are my norm preferences. I went with mango snow with mango jelly (noted as Nata Jelly on my receipt). What came were a mess of orange ribbons that didn't quite fill the cup, never mind mounding over it like the picture on the poster on the wall. The nata jelly was hidden in the bottom of the cup. It tasted good. But the portion was rather pathetic though the jelly plentiful. read more

Awesome place to get your tea! A must when in Boston! A ton of options! Also available to order! Ordered the mango slush a couple times now, and will be coming back for it! Lost a star because 1) service usually tends to be slow. 2) all the jelly's and bobas are always at the bottom. Wish they sealed the slush so we could shake it up! read more

one of my favorite spots! They are so local and convenient and have great customer service

Ordered 2 boba and it came out so quickly! Jia Xiang was really nice n helpful with me and my questions.

This KFT store is way better than the other KFT locations. Today the front worker were patient with my orders and his recommendation is good. I don't see his name tag but over all this bubble tea store is my top 1 so far. read more

Good bubble tea, okay (but way overpriced) wings. The problem was when I got my bank statement and noticed they had added a $2.10 "tip" without asking or telling me. It was printed low down on the receipt after the charge summary. I ended up calling as it was pretty overpriced to begin with. It took a while but they did do a refund. But the chicken was tasty, and the bubble tea was great! I just hate surprise charges! read more

I wanted to like this Kung Fu Tea because it's so close to me, but sadly I have been disappointed. However, I am fairly picky about my milk teas and boba because I'm from California. The boba is okay, I can tell the batch I had wasn't fresh and had been sitting for while because it was a bit harder to chew or it wasn't cooked long enough. The teas were good, but I've gotten some milk teas a bit watered down before. I just wish the location was more consistent with the drink quality. read more

Always a solid location to get boba. They offer spacious seating and consistency in their drinks. I usually order the regular KFT milk tea or their coconut milk tea with half sugar and less ice. Definitely one of my favorite KFT locations in the Boston area. read more

I've heard rumors that KFT is better in the Northeast, because it originated up here. I didn't believe it since I assumed they used the same recipe. After trying and comparing, I swear something was different about their Oolong Milk Tea. It was a good different. A tad bit creamier, richer, silkier. The tapioca pearls were noticeably different.. being white instead of the black I'm used to. They were soft but not mushy. Chewy but not sticky. Apparently white is the original color of tapioca pearls, and the black pearls get their color with the addition of brown sugar. I was impressed with the white pearls since I haven't seen this in the boba shops in Texas. This shop was conveniently located near Northeastern and the Museum of Fine Arts. It's spacious with room to study or hang out but sadly had no board or card games. Summary: drink 5/5, ambiance 4/5, service 5/5. read more
