I came here for a milk tea. The shop was staffed nicely. Looked clean. Was quick prepping my order. I ordered a coffee flavored milk tea. I would not recommend that combination. It just didn't taste great when I got to my car and I started drinking it.--The tea flavor tasted really weird. Very, very strong taste to the tea not very much coffee flavor and I have to say the two didn't mix well whatsoever I don't know why I continued to drink it, but I did and I wish I hadn't. It's midnight and my stomach is still making noises and protesting against that tea. I don't know if I got bad milk or a variety of tea that my stomach just doesn't like... But this was not the tea for me. The girls in front of me had gotten mango smoothie type of things and that looked delicious and another one had a strawberry looking thing and that also looks delicious. I think I really chose poorly... Like as poorly as one could choose--I could probably receive a metal saying world's, worst choice. It was that bad. If I had to come back (which I probably will not), I would get something with mango and maybe not a milk tea read more

Kung Fu Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This was the original KFT that I fell in love with! Love all the many flavors and topping/boba options. We have a new KFT in Lewis center now so I likely won't be up here as often, but I'll never forget the way this location got me through the great Covid shutdown of 2020. Talk about essential! My go-to is the Kung Fu milk tea with boba and a milk cap. Yum! read more

I enjoy KFT. The boba and milk teas are good but no consistent in flavor. Their jellies are cut slightly too big in my opinion and their crystal jellies are Al way too hard. I highly recommend this pistachio milk tea with coffee jelly. Service takes a little bit to make the drink, which feels at times it takes longer to make the drink than drink the drink. Loud music at this location and genre is not always kids friendly I.e. death metal. read more

Love the ease of ordering here online and it has always been ready without problem. I also like their extensive choices of tea. Kung Fu is the only one that I have seen carried rose hip so far. I love this fruity tea flavor every now and then. read more

This Kung Fu Tea location took us by surprise -- we were stopping by the plaza to pick up dim sum from Sunflower Chinese Restaurant next door -- we placed an order through their mobile app (FYI, this is actually the only way to order at this location because of the pandemic) and got our medium Green Tea and medium Green Tea with Milk Cap within 10 minutes. Now that we know there's a KFT here, we'll definitely be coming back! read more

I really want to love this place. The teas are amazingly good - addictive even! However, a trip to Kung Fu Tea is like a trip to the emergency room. It is chaotic, busy and stressful. If you download the app, you will be prompted to perform an update, which downloads another app. As an extra bonus, you can also order from Chowbus... This is probably an intentional foreshadowing of what will be your experience, whether in person or ordering online. My first visit, when i arrived after placing an online order, the person behind the counter told me my order wasn't ready. She left, as her shift was over. When i checked again with her replacement, my order was actually waiting for pickup. Today, one of my teas was made incorrectly, but I just didn't have the patience to go back and get it corrected. Surely there are better places for boba? read more

Just to give a bit of info on Bubble or Boba Tea for those who have never tried it. The word "boba" can refer to either a broad category of chunky drinks. This can include everything from iced tea with tapioca pearls to fresh juice loaded with fruity bits, or the black tapioca pearls in the drinks themselves. These drinks are believed to have originated in Taiwan in the 1980's and are wildly delicious. Kung Fu Tea is especially great because of their wide variety of options. They also provide you with the ability to customize the sugar lever, add toppings, and have different teas and flavors. I got the Oreo milk Bobo tea with 50 percent sugar and it was absolutely phenomenal. My husband had a Matcha Tea with an espresso shot which was also good, and probably a lot healthier. We were not able to order in as they are currently doing pick up only but the staff was friendly and efficient in the brief moment we saw them. Looking forward to returning again soon! read more

One of my favorite place to go to get bubble tea. The staffs there are very friendly an accommodating to adjusting the amount of ice or sugar in your tea. The place is always clean. They have a wide variety of teas and I have tired different teas there but my favorite are the mango tea with mango popping bubbles and the orange tea with the mango popping bubbles. Those two are the best! I always have them put less ice in the tea. These teas are the perfect summer drinks. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Outside of Kung fu Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Best BOBA ever. My family loves bubble tea. We had never tried out this chain before, but we were in town so figured why not :) My tea was good (our family raves about the coconut milk tea) but the bobas were perfection. They had an amazing chew. The workers were all friendly and our order was up quick. While we were there there were so many orders that went out. This is a busy place. read more

I stopped by here with my husband and we picked up a couple of drinks. Their staff is very friendly, absolutely nothing bad to say about that! But, the store itself smelled like mold...or musty...something bad. After getting past that and determining yes I still want to "eat" here, the menu is very very confusing for someone who doesn't know what bubble tea is, or the difference between that and bubble tea or chai tea for that matter? The "bubbles" that they have...I still don't know exactly what they are, so I didn't get them in my drink. My husband decided to try them. I got the strawberry tea which is plain, but I was scared to try anything I didn't know. It was good, not the best, but good. My husband got sick of the bubbles and didn't finish his drink. So we know now if we go back to get light bubbles...but again, no explanation of anything and how many bubbles you get in a regular drink, light bubbles, etc. There's just a lot of explaining that needs to happen to a newbie and they didn't do a good job so I'm not coming back. Nothing wrong with the tea flavor but not worth the drive for me. read more

Kung Fu Tea - STRAWBERRY LEMON GREEN TEA - Bubble Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This is the second location in the city that I've visited. I had a hard time finding this place, since you can't see it off the street. Even the signage is outdated. I came in past 2 o'clock on a Friday and there were two girls in here studying. It was quiet enough though. I ordered my favorite: winter melon. Can't go wrong! They made it pretty quickly! There are a few parking spots out front marked for Kung Fu Tea, but there's a big 'ole lot that they share with all the other businesses in the strip. I was in that area of town doing errands so I'm not sure if I'll be back to this particular location. read more

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! WHAT 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 don't perform music in the bathroom anymore. Otherwise it'd be "Sung Fu Tea." The fourth stop on my bubble tea tour of Columbus was KFT just north of the I-270 in the far NW burbs of C-BNus, and it was one of my favourite locations that I've ever been to. The decor here is spectacular and it's so comfortable and spacious and extremely friendly. They even sell Portuguese Custard Tarts! They're pretty good, but they have nothing on the LBT. Made by a friend who used to be at Baker. Still is apparently. And as for LBT. That's Lemon Black Tea for you uninitiated folks. I was asking what kind of beans they had one time. The girl was like "what is this, Mung Fu Tea?" The drinks here are a little sweeter than the Kung Fu Tea standard and a little bit more lemony and the tapioca is absolutely fantastic. Yes they absolutely know how to make tapioca. Very good job. One of my favourite locations in the whole country actually. And all the employees are angels. Did I mention it was one of my fave locations nationwide? Yes? Oh. I asked them both "what is the past tense of I Bring Kung Fu Tea?" They incorrectly responded "Brung Fu Tea." Now let's finish with some rap. As opposed to Finnish with some rap, which is a hip hop artist from Helsinki. So like Britney and Tinache, I made you OOH And now I'll introduce you to something NEW I'll give you yummy Boba to CHEW That defines a five-star REVIEW Lemon Black Tea's what I'll give to YOU It has a lot to LIVE UP TO But I know you'll share my POINT OF VIEW Like the 90's web you'll scream YAHOO Palestine will hear you louder then NETENYAHU Who's big on Google but not on YAHOO Crap I just double-used YAHOO Oh well, Altavista's dead, Excite TOO And no, my income tax returns aren't TRUE But like Joey said, that point is MOO So before we get audited by internal REVENUE Let's go and get Boba from KUNG FU!

I was new to bubble tea. They were great to walk me through what to order and what I would like. read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about kung fu tea especially this location. They are always on top of their orders and very efficient, as this location gets very busy. Now during the current times I use an app to order my bubble tea and have been going so frequently that they know me by name lol. They have tons and tons of different flavors to choose from and you can customize your drink to your liking. I am trying to branch out and try more of them but I always end up sticking to my go to which is Honey Milk tea with 30% less sweetness, no ice, & bubbles! This specific drink is on the sweeer side, so 30% less sweet still tastes great, if you want to try to stay on the healthier side like myself. Pro Tip: Order your drink with no ice, so you get more drink in your cup, plus your drink will still be cold. read more

My 4yo and I stopped in after a fun, HOT evening at the zoo. Kung Fu Tea hit the spot! I got the Lychee Punch with Natty jelly and it was delicious! My son got the Mango Slush with mango popping bubbles and mango jelly. He said it was too much jelly but I loved how packed it was! The flavor was so good and not overly sweet. On some drinks, I believe you can also determine the sugar levels. Definitely want to go back! read more

Four days a week, I'm in the general Hard/Sawmill/Smoky Row are for a few hours trying to kill a hours. Kung Fu Tea was a place the popped up on Yelp (bless you, Yelp) and I'm so glad it did because you can't really see this place from the road. I love me some bubble tea, and tea in general. I'm always stoked to find a new place to check out. This menu is pretty big, and a little bit intimidating. So I panicked and ordered a taro bubble tea, which is my go-to and a great way for me to make a base comparison between companies. As they were making my drink, I got a closer look at the menu. The first thing I noticed was that you can customize your sugar level, which is something I'd never even considered before. They also have a variety of toppings; like jellies, popping bubbles, etc. There were so many options that looked delicious, I'll most definitely be back to try something else. As for the drink itself, it was really good. I was a tiny bit disappointed that it wasn't as purple as other places but that's a really petty complaint. There was a slight aftertaste that was different, it wasn't bad but I couldn't quite place what the flavor was. I read more

In a small plaza but was sooo good I love it, staff was great! Lots of options there. Delicious overall

Cute place and friendly staff. My son and I came here for the first time today. I ordered a cold mango green tea and my son ordered a hot green tea of some kind. I enjoyed mine my son kinda of liked his as we are not sweet tea drinkers and whatever he chose was very sweet. The staff was great at explaining things and running through the menu a little with us. We will go back as it's nice to have a tea place that has so many tea choices and we will continue to find the right thing for us. You can do the bubble thing too. read more

Excellent bubble tea. I've visited a few times now and have never been disappointed. I've tried black tea with bubbles as without milk as well as black tea with milk and bubbles.

Become a new standard. As we work from home and leverage carryout more and more, we love stopping by KFT on Sawmill. Ordering through their app we can get something with 15 mins for pickup. Personally have tried many menu options but personally love -OOLONG TEEA with little sugar and bubbles and little ice. Great jumpstart to your afternoon and easy pickup. Inside hasnt reopened yet but definitely try it. read more

Dropped by here after dinner for some boba. It was my first time at this location since the one on Kenny is much closer to me. What stood out to me was how cute their wall art was. The side wall was painted with a colorful design of cute phrases. The atmosphere and vibe here seemed a little better than the Kenny location. Bathrooms were clean and my drink came out in a reasonable time. My go to is always the oolong milk tea. It's sweet, milky, oolong goodness. Their boba is nice and soft too. Protip: They have wifi and a good amount of outlets (they're located under the seat) if you feel like studying here for an hour or two. read more

First time trying boba tea as my nephew insisted I give it a shot. He suggested this place as he's come here multiple times with his family. He ordered an orangeish colored tea which I can't recall the name of, and I ordered the oreo milk tea. At first I wasn't a big fan of the boba, but as I kept drinking, I immediately grew into it. I can tell why these drinks are super popular these days. The only thing is that the oreo tea was a little too sweet, but overall, great customer service, cleanliness is on point, and a good experience. read more

This place is amazing - so many options and combinations. I love being able to determine the sugar and ice levels, as well as add in as many extras like jelly and boba as I want.

Can't go wrong with bubble tea from Kung Fu Tea. Few things in life will bring you this level of satisfaction. I recommend the coffee milk tea with boba. It's caffeine with the added bonus of boba. read more

Love that there's usually a place to sit and the line is never too long. KFT is also a favorite because I can order extra ice, no sugar (powder from the drinks themselves are plenty sweet already so no need for extra sugar - how do people do 100% [extra] sugar!?!?). Easy place to do a quick pick me up for sure. Or even lounge - some friends and I ended up chatting and staying for a couple hours on a Friday night = gotta love the 'burb life! My favorites are: Iced Taro Milk Tea (guilty dessert drink) & Yogurt Grapefruit (refreshing less guilty drink + probiotics). PROTIP: sometimes they have egg tarts for sale... though not marketed ;) read more

Worse service I have ever had. I got a drink that did not taste as what it was supposed to and asked to have it changed even if they charged me and they did not accommodate at all. For a drink that cost more than $6 they should have been able to at least accommodate in some way. read more

Boba is good but the thing that makes it best is its balls. I love balls, especially those black balls so good

Great place to buy some delicious refreshing tea! The staff was nice and the drinks came out fast.

Haven't found a drink I didn't like from King Fu Tea. The menu is huge and I definitely suggest exploring outside the norm. I first found the company while I lived in New York and I'm ecstatic that I live so close to this location. The staff is very upbeat and friendly and I try to stop in about 1-3 times a week to get my fix. My all time favorite is the mango green tea with nota jellies read more

Still my favorite kft place in town. Chan is my favorite person there. She pays so much attention to all her guests. I don't even have to be the one placing my order and she would know the drink ordered was for me. So many people coming in and out to order drinks and she memorizes what all her regulars likes to drink and how they like their drinks made. That's impressive. Drinks are made super fast and the place is always kept nice and clean. Talking about this place makes me crave for more. read more

Ok, so I gave in and used the app. It has gotten better. It has not crashed in a long while, so that's good. Drink orders are always finished by when the app indicates, and I do prefer ordering remotely, since the menu has so many different variants. The different drinks are delicious and interesting, and the store is always clean and efficient. The boba always tastes fresh, and never hard. It's still getting a 4 star because the app seems to leave out some add-in options. For example, there are two drinks which have peach or pineapple bits, and a third with strawberry jam, but none of these things are available on the app as add-ins on any other drink. My favorites are the "Cocoa cream wow milk cap" (which is the "tiger milk" you see all the time on youtube. It tastes like melted caramel ice cream) and the peach yogurt lemonade, which shouldn't work, but really, really does. read more
