Another boiling hot day. Another excuse to order a cold coffee... or in this case, tea... drink. No food at this location, which annoyed Jeremy who originally ordered on grubhub but picked a location WAY out of our travels, but which shared their space with a restaurant that actually serves food. He ended up not getting a drink at all. I got the coconut milk tea with regular boba. I can't stand those popping boba. I ordered some many years ago, from Amazon, to try them before they were popular and found them too fruity and sour. Tapioca boba, though? LOVE THAT. I adore the chew! The tea is made with Earl grey, which I gotta respect as a Trekkie ;) but the bergamot flavor has always struck me as lemony, like fruity pebbles. It goes great with the coconut flavors. I really like this one. The space was empty and wonderfully air conditioned. Would recommend read more

This location is super cute. I loved the decor and the vibe was really chill. There were plenty of flavor options which made it hard to choose. The cashier honor my yelp check-in reward and I tried my hand at a flavor I'd never had before. Coco Cream Tea with Bobo I believe. I didn't like it too much to be honest . It was too sweet for me , I ordered 50% sugar and it was still really sweet. I'm just not into sweet drinks . But I will definitely try again at different time with a different style drink. The servers were nice and price was only about $6 , not bad at all. I'll be back. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Cute decor! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I love Kung Fu tea. I normally visit the Crofton location but I was in Columbia and wanted to check it out. My favorite is the taro milk tea with pudding. You can customize your sweetness and ice levels. The staff are nice and efficient. Great place to hangout with family or friends. Plenty of parking is available. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I go to Kung Fu Tea pretty often. Their drinks are consistent and the brown sugar wow boba is on point; it has become my standard. I find that most drinks can be 0% sweetness if that boba is in the drink, since the syrup on the boba adds some sweetness. Are a lot of the drinks good? Yes! Very tasty. Are all the drinks great? No. In fact, I've tried a bunch that I'll probably never get again. I'm also not a fan of for example the coffee popping bubbles which taste artificial. Some of the fruity drinks are too sweet even at 0% sweetness. I do appreciate that they at least try rolling out new flavors in this chain. Expensive, but it's on par with other boba places. Ordering through the app is convenient and you can get discounts and rewards with it. At this location, the staff are all generally pretty nice. The store is clean and organized. I'll keep coming back. Based on how often I come, I honestly don't see how I can give this place less than 5 stars. read more

Good boba tea! We have stopped here several times now and the selection of teas and milk teas etc is very good. We tried several flavors and got the Taro and Mango milk teas. It gets busy at certain times, especially evenings. read more

The Kung Fu Tea service is horrible. Walked in no one was in line and had to wait 15 min to get my drink. The workers were too busy eating and talking, and left my drink sitting in the back where I could not grab it. Finally had to ask for it and the drink had already warmed up and ice was melted. read more

4.8.22 I've been meaning to try the milk tea for awhile and finally made it out here this evening. Service was fast and staff was friendly. I got the taro, which is my favorite flavor. Unfortunately, I wasn't a big fan of the flavor, but I can't pinpoint the exact reason. Perhaps the flavor was mild and faint to me. My husband took a sip and said it left an aftertaste. I did, however, love the boba. It was the perfect level of chewiness. Although the taro fell short, after perusing the menu I'd definitely come back to try the Kung Fu Milk Tea with Oreo, Mango Slush, or Oreo Slush as everyone deserves a second chance. read more

Busy place since it's nearby The Mall in Columbia. Fast service once you place your order around 7-8 minutes wait and your order is already ready. They are used to crowds. We ordered Mango Slush with mango jelly and Taro Milk Tea. Both were amazing. Such a good treat on a hot day. read more

I love the variety of tea and juices here! I got the wintermelon milk green tea with boba today. The tea was a little sweet for my taste but the boba was perfect and freshly cooked. I also didn't know that if you show a receipt showing that you ate at Bonchon (Korean fried chicken restaurant next door) the same day, you can get a free upgrade to a large size cup. Today wasn't my first time here! Most of the times I've been here I was satisfied but sometimes the boba can be slightly undercooked so I'm knocking 1 star off. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Wintermelon milk green tea with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

My favorite boba place in the DMV area!! I'm very picky with my boba and this specific location has the chewiest bubble topping. If you're like me and judge boba places by how well they make their tapioca pearls, you definitely want to visit Kung fu tea, Columbia location. My go to is the taro smoothie, but their mango smoothie is good, and all of their milk tea selection is solid as well. They are super fast , rotation is quick! It's a small spot near the mall area. Highly highly recommend read more

A little pricy but drinks are very good. I love the lychee tea with aloe jelly added in. The people who work there are typically very friendly and efficient and the environment is perfect in substitute for like a coffee date or something. They offer board games and etc so it's definitely a great place to go to catch up with some friends! read more

Kung Fu Tea - LYCHEE BLACK TEA and TARO MILK - Bubble Tea Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I don't expect much from this place since it's a chain but was surprised that some of the drinks were pretty good. Both of the milk teas (wintermelon & taro) were good but did lot care much for the peach oolong tea. It was kind of sour. The interior looked a little dirty, so it's not the vibe if you want to sit and chill. It's more of a to-go type of place in my opinion. read more

My sister and I got a wintermelon and taro milk green tea. Both came out sweet AF. We even asked for 30% sugar for the taro. I'm a frequent goer to KFT but the sweetness for both drinks at this location was over the top. Boba texture on point though, as usual Might have to go home and dilute this. read more

Kung Fu Tea - a drink in a plastic cup - Bubble Tea Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

The amount of times I go here should be a crime lol. No other boba place (near me) has some close to KFT, especially the Columbia location. The location is great even though it's hard to find parking sometimes. Walking into the restaurant, it's set up with group seating, which is nice if you want to sit down and enjoy some boba with a friend. There's also board games too. The staff there is usually pretty friendly and I always ask them what recommendations they have so I can try new flavors. In terms of the boba, I mean you can't go wrong with certain key flavors, especially the taro milk tea. If you're a boba fan like me, definitely download the app so you can get some rewards for all that money you're already spending on it ;) read more

Kung Fu Tea - Taro milk slush - Bubble Tea Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

The girl at the register with pink hair was very rude and had a nasty attitude. On top of that she tried overcharging me for a drink that i didn't want , instead of giving me what I wanted she tried charging me for a more expensive drink with a milk cap when I didn't even want a milk cap! And when I asked to substitute an ingredient she denied and charged me extra for it. When I got my slush it was melted and watery. You need to hire different employees that are customer friendly and not stuck up entitled people. Go to the bubble tea place in the mall instead! read more

Definitely the smallest KFT I've been to in the area, but as someone who always takes their taro to go, it didn't really matter much. They've currently got covid restrictions up to protect the working staff: no seating indoors (only a few tables anyway) and a shield and microphone at the counter. The microphone makes communication loud and clear through the screen and the masks. I've said it before, but out of all the DMV bubble tea options, I believe Kung Fu Tea does taro slush the best. I haven't been to a KFT location in awhile, but noticed the large cup size did change. Not sure if it was changed to make it smaller or simply easier to hold - anyone else notice the same? read more

We went there today for their Valentine's Day special which is buy 2 get one free. My husband got the mango slushy and I got a taro milk tea for tonight and a mango green tea without ice so it won't get diluted when I take it with me to work tomorrow. I'm very happy to see that they already fixed their broken glass door from the vandalism shown on the news yesterday, and that they are back to business! We are really enjoying our Valentine's Day/ Asian new year treats from there read more

I wouldn't call myself a boba connoisseur, but I'm pretty addicted to it and have gone to every bubble tea shop in the area to sample their Mango Green Teas (my no. 1 choice). Kung Fu Tea, Columbia, is up their with Tea Top, Ellicott City. I probably come here at least twice a week. Still, I never get sick of their mango green tea. Unlike the Ellicott City Kung Fu Tea, this location doesn't charge me for mango jelly in my order. And if for some reason they don't have the jelly in stock, they'll replace it for free with another topping. AS IF THAT WEREN'T AMAZING ENOUGH, if you hop over to the Bonchon next door and order anything...you can take that receipt to this Kung Fu Tea and get a free upgrade from a medium drink to large. Suffice it to say that this Kung Fu Tea is well-run and doesn't cut corners with its ingredients or customer service. read more

Wait: Only a few people in line even at the lunch hour. Server: Very sweet group of folks working there. Patient even though it was really loud inside. Food Quality& Order: TAROOOOOOO. Okay so basically I only ever get Taro. Prior to coming to Kung Fu, I only had Boba Tea in San Diego. I went to the same place weekly. It was a weird transition for me to try something here. Although I do think it's a little mainstream and the taste wasn't as organic as I had hoped, I would still come back. Atmosphere& Decor: Its a cool spot with games, plenty of tables, a bit tight in the waiting area but overall a nice stop in. read more

Still god awful. Ordered a kiwi punch that took forever with 0% and it was the most disgustingly sweet drink ever. Tried to tell them and they said some bs about the syrup. Terrible. read more

Ok let's not talk about atmosphere inside, we all know it's still Covid season and many places are struggling with making their places back to how it looks... right? That said, their boba tea was possibly the best boba tea we've ever tried in the US! We got Taro flavor and honey tea, they weren't too sweet unlike the most of other places' boba tea. Highly recommended! read more

The service was mediocre as their staff took 30 minutes to put out my peach oolong tea. I got boba as my topping, the boba tasted off and tasted like it wasn't made fresh like its supposed to be. It had a rubbery texture. Ive gone here several times in the past and it feels like things have gone astray...would not come back again. read more

Y'all, this KFT is sooo slow. Put in a mobile order for pick up, got there on time and received it a half an hour later. The girl behind the counter asked if I was waiting for my order 3 times because she couldn't remember or forgot I was there still waiting. I get that things get delayed and there's a back up of orders, but I think there should be a designated person to handle mobile orders only so people aren't standing there congregating around the counter like, hellooooo. And when I received my drink the aloe jelly was so slimy. Just go to Gong cha y'all. read more

Let's see, great customer service, perfect mix of strong tea and milk, just the way I like it, sweet and chewy boba! I'm in love with the hard wood floors and chairs. Modern, chic, decor with bright lighting and a nice selection of games. Fun place to come after work if you wanna relax, play some board games, while you sip on bubble tea. I will definitely return, matter fact I will be there over the weekend. Thanks for the great experience KFT staff! read more

Just ok, as far as what I got, but I didn't get bubble tea. I went with a chai tea which actually tasted like Earl Grey to me. Overall, I wasn't impressed. I'll go back when it's warmer and get bubble tea in hopes of upgrading this review to a better one. read more

Solid boba!! I've come here a number of times at this point. I've tried Oolong Milk Tea, Green Milk Tea, Strawberry Milk Slush, Yogurt Orange, and more. They're consistent from my experience. In general, I prefer KFT's more basic/classic drinks. The punch (and misc.) selections have been hit or miss for me. I enjoy the slushes as well. If you're a matcha fan, the matcha slush is yum!! I get it w/o red bean and then add bubbles. My favorite orders are Oolong (Milk) Tea, Green Milk Tea, Honey Tea, and the Matcha Slush (w/o red bean). The interior is decent, but it often feels a bit crammed because there's not a lot of space, and it's pretty much always crowded. They have board games as usual. With C19, there is takeout. When you enter inside, there's a large glass divider between the workers and customers. It covers almost the whole area. Very full proof. read more

Service: the people working here looked kind of dead. It was 8 oclock so I do not blame them, but as someone who has worked at 3 boba places before, I would recommend you to just fake it till the very end. A smile and a friendly greeting go a long way. It really sets first impression and it makes the whole experience much better. After the drinks were done, they were not called, so my friend went and picked them up. Again. Its the little things that add up. In terms of the drinks, I got the oreo slush (i heard its not fun to make so sorry) and my friend got the yogurt lemonade. Both drinks were really good. The oreo slush is very oreo-y, creamy, sweet but not too sweet. The bubbles were nice and warm, chewy, and not mushy (I love my boba warm amd fresh). The yogurt lemonade was also very refreshing. Nice sweet and tart combination with the lemons and the korean yogurt drinks is delicious. Would recommend both of these drinks, but the oreo slush is very heavy, so maybe that wasnt the best drink to get after cheesecake factory. read more

First visit, all is good! We went during the BOGO Grand Opening event, where I got a Milk Tea and hubbie got a Passion fruit Green Tea, with bubbles. So yummy! Milk tea had the perfect blend of tea, sugar, and lots of bubbles. They didn't over stuff it with ice, like some Bubble Tea places. The Passion fruit was too sweet for me, but he loved it. For a packed house, we were in and out.Staff was friendly, efficient, and on their game. Worth going again-I obviously want to run through the entire menu; super excited for the October Brown Sugar Ginger Tea drink! read more

I met a couple friends at this KFT location for bible study. The cashier greeted me as soon as I entered the store. It was pretty packed when I arrived but I was able to get a table for us. I ordered a medium sized coffee milk tea with 50% sugar. The drink didn't really taste like coffee but it wasn't bad. The sweetness wasn't overwhelming either. All of KFT's supplies (i.e. straws, napkins, etc.) were fully stocked and they had a plethora of board games to choose from. read more

I love Kung Fu tea. They have the best tea and tapioca/boba in my opinion. The boba is always sweet and chewy, not like other places where it can be a weird texture. I love their tea flavors and they have lots of different things you can get like slushes and fruit teas. They classic milk tea is also delicious. This location has nice, friendly workers. The space is different than it probably usually is when I've visited (during pandemic times) so there is no seating. They also have plexiglass around the counter and a max number of people allowed in the store so I feel pretty safe going into the store. You can also order on the app and pick it up in store which is very easy to do. read more

I almost want to give them 3 stars but the bubbles were really good. I usually judge a tea shop by how well they cook bubbles! You got me. The ordering process is odd. They ask you to type out what you want since the glass layer is hard to hear. However, I typed it out and held it against the window.. dude read it, but asked me to show it to him 3 more times. I held it against that window for a good amt of time for him to read. They should train to read the entire sentence.. I get that they're used to what drink? size? sugar level? But if I typed the entire thing out, just take the time to read everything. bubbles/pearl - amazinggggg. so chewy and tasty! I got oolong tea + pearl, 70% less sugar. The less amt of sugar, the more prominent the tea is, which I enjoy. conclusion - whatever drink it is, add bubbles. This branch has their bubbles down!! chewy, soft, and sweetness on point! read more

I always love my wow tea from Kung Fu tea!! Service is always quick and efficient. I wish that there were more WOW boba options. I always want to get the coconut milk tea with WOW boba but I always still can get something delicious. This time around i got the cocoa WOW milk tea with some popping coffee bubbles and a milk cap. Let me just say it was it was ahmayzing!!!!! Not to sweet with just the amount of boba throughout and while im drinking ot im already thinking about when I can have it again. Overall, definitely a solid choice for boba! Its definitely in my top 3 read more

Annoyed. I enter and the horrible music is on full blast. No one flinches. It was so loudly deafening that I waited outside for them to complete my order. Why the music was so loud that it was painful to be inside is beyond me and highly inappropriate. There were three people on staff. It was 10:30p at night. Only one person ahead of me and about three minutes in, they get their drink. For whatever odd non communicative reason, it took 15 mins to make my ONE large taro no bubbles tea. I only had 1 person ahead of me. I do enjoy the proxy to where I live but for me to continue patronizing, get a larger cup, turn down the God forsaken music and speed up the service. Also, hire an actual adult. Someone in their 30s+ to be present and oversee. It's odd how the MVA line is faster than a Asian cold tea spot who uses a mix. read more
