    First of all, the boba is perfect! There are so many options and they all seem delicious! The shrimp tempura was VERY good! The popcorn chicken has good flavor but I wished it came with its own dipping sauce. The bathrooms were a little out dated but the overall ambiance of the restaurant was nice!

    This was my first time seeing poke at Kung Fu tea! For a midwest establishment, their poke had pretty standard ingredients, nothing I hadn't seen before. I got their spicy tuna and salmon, and I liked how they gave decently sized pieces of fish. Unlike other places I've seen, rather than a scoop, the fish came in individual slices, which I think is more satisfying to eat. I really like the drinks here as well, and my go-to is the wintermelon tea with cheese foam. However, one thing about KFT is that their drinks are pretty sweet, even after lowering the sweetness to 50%. The prices for kft are pretty reasonable, given how much you're getting. Would definitely come again for the poke!

    King Fu Tea has a variety of bubble teas, teas, sandwiches and more! Located right in the heart of the UIUC campus, it makes a great location to stop by for a quick drink or food, or stop by to meet up with friends. I enjoyed the coconut milk tea and appreciated that I was able to adjust the sweetness to my liking, looking forward to visiting again!

    The bubble tea is quite good. However, the dining environment inside is not so satisfactory, as there are too many people, and is noisy, dark and a little hot. This is a busy place.

    Oolong milk tea and takoyaki
    Nandana N.

    My favorite bubble tea place in Champaign. The service is always nice. I love how gentle they are while taking orders, even though it's always busy. I always get the Oolong Milk tea with Nata jelly(I hate it how I don't get nata jelly at a lot of places in Chicago, but I digress). I tried their Honey oolong milk tea but it's too sweet for my taste, and we can't change the sugar preferences in this. I also love their poke bowl, popcorn chicken. Not a fan of takoyaki, it could be better. That's no reason to knock off any stars because they are open till midnight every day and they have board games. Also it's one of the few places that would be open during holidays too, Labor Day, thanksgiving and all which is awesome for international students like me.

    Lots of options to choose from on the menu, I'm never too sure what to order so I tend to ask for recommendations. The cashier didn't give me recommendations that helped with my selection so I randomly chose on my own. I give it 4 stars for efficiency and quality but for customer service it needs improvement with giving more suggestions and asking questions to figuring out a customer's taste pallet.

    Sushi burrito! You can customize it yourself! Amazing!
    R.J. V.

    Wow. Now this is a yummy place to visit. If you are in the mood for bubble tea and sushi look no more. I just had myself a honey milk tea with bubbles and a sushi burrito. And they are amazing. Especially the burrito. I swear I could eat here everyday. Be sure to check out their menu as they have a bunch of options for both drinks and food. I can't go into detail on all the options. The only reason I don't give this place 5 stars is due to their location and cost. The items are a bit pricey but it's fine for a bi-weekly treat. Also it's hard to find parking. The location is close to the heart of campus so it's easier to reach for student walking then those of us with cars. Overall I highly recommend if you are in the area. The sushi burrito alone was amazing. But I can also get me my bubble tea fix. I'll be back for sure!

    Poke bowl menu
    Aditi B.

    My poke bowl was great. Good amount of fish and everything tasted great! I constructed my poke bowl to make it taste as close as possible to a sushi roll. (Except I also added carrots and seaweed salad for texture). My poke bowl: Tuna, Spicy salmon Seaweed salad, Avocado, Carrots Eel sauce, Spicy mayo Masago, fried onions, tempura crumbs

Important messages regarding employee safety, allergies, and accommodations were frequently ignored. One of my biggest concerns was food safety. There was a lot of cross-contamination between fruits, ice cream, açaí, and other ingredients. Employees often did not change gloves between handling peanut butter and fruit products, which is especially concerning for customers with allergies. The area where cup lids are stored was also extremely dirty and rarely cleaned. I personally have a severe allergy that management knew about. I was hospitalized twice due to cross-contamination, yet management never properly communicated precautions to staff or ensured I could work safely away from the ingredients I was allergic to. I also witnessed a coworker reach out regarding disability accommodations and receive no meaningful response. Quality control was another issue. If a customer never picked up an açaí bowl, it could sit in the freezer for hours and later be used when someone ordered the same item instead of being remade fresh. I also saw incorrect smoothies sent out to customers, with some employees assuming nobody would notice as long as the drinks looked similar. Overall, the lack of management involvement, poor communication, cleanliness concerns, and inconsistent food-handling practices made this a disappointing place to work and would make me think twice about being a customer.

Upon arrival, I checked out the menu and saw a lot of wonderful variety of items that I wanted to try; however, I only had room for one thing. While scoping out the menu, my eyes fell on their soft-serve flavors. They not only had chocolate and vanilla flavors but also, hojicha, matcha, and ube. Plus, you could get them in a swirl or just as two flavors in a dish. I immediately decided that I wanted the Hojicha and Ube pairing. My son got the Matcha and Ube combo. Both were good. I liked all the flavors. Hojicha was my favorite, followed by Matcha, and then Ube. Each of these ice cream had rich flavor and the texture was smooth. The pricing of the soft-serve was on the high side but the portion size was good. The Ice cream is made in-house including the Hojicha. The shop was busy.
