Black Milk Tea with Boba
Addy C.

Ordered the classic Black Milk Tea with boba ($5.15 medium size + $.75 boba), less sugar, less ice. Tea was good, maybe overloaded w/ boba, the boba had a good chew. They serve desserts and snacks too. I love that West Knoxville has a great boba tea option - and love even more that the patrons were almost all non-Asian. Makes me proud of my old hometown, lol. Good crowd!

Rosehip Lemonade and Winter Melon Milk Tea

I was in town and just finished dinner at Q Korean BBQ and was delighted to see Kung Fu Tea right next door. Super convenient. I ordered my Rosehip Lemonade like usually and tasted superb. I definitely will be back if I am back in town. Love it! So glad this tea shop is in Knoxville.

Takoyaki and Taiyaki!!

They have the best bobas!! And their snacks are amazing!! You'd better try their Japanese snacks.

Fish Cakes with Red Bean

First time at Kung Fung Tea and ordered the Kung Fu Milk Tea with Crystal Boba. The Boba tasted like it had lychee in it. My friend ordered the Thai ice Tea. We then proceeded to order some appetizers: Taiyaki- red bean fish-shaped cake and something savory and Takoyaki- Octopus Balls. The fish cakes reminded me when I was stationed in Korea on a cold night and having these sweet treats. The Octopus melts in your mouth upon first bite. Kung Fu Tea makes the Boba Tea I've ever had! I encourage and recommend all to come visit Kung Fu Tea!

We we're in the Knoxville Tennessee area and Kung Fu Tea came highly recommended to us for Boba tea. Kung Fu Tea is supposed to be the bubble tea specialist in the area, who specialize in hot and cold drinks, coffees and slushy's. This is a franchise establishment but this particular location off of I40 is extremely crowded and they are slow with making the drinks. We waited over 25 minutes for our order to be taken and there was still a wait for the tea to be made and placed in the pick up area. This wait was too long for a cup of boba tea.

Knox has Kung Fu Tea?! What. How has this not come up on search? I kid you not, my husband and I were driving out of Lowe's (in the area) and I saw the "Kung Fu Tea" sign and I screamed.. haha. My husband tried to change lanes, someone honked and he said "sorry my wife is a huge fan of boba tea esp Kung fu tea" elite." Fun fact: When my husband and I were dating, I introduced him to boba tea and pho, it didn't take long for him to fell in love. But when he tried, Kung fu tea, he was a fan of it. Whenever we visit to Atlanta, GA or Baltimore, MD, we always pick up Kung Fu tea and that would be our "treat.." Now, I, we know there's one here..so happy! I'm beyond psyched! My favorites are Thai Tea (+tapico pearls), matcha/green tea (+tapico pearls) and the mango green tea with mango and/or lychee popping boba, I also add tapico pearls (you'll thank me). Funny thing was, I was just talking to my husband about Kung Fu tea having a location in Knoxville, thank you Jesus, you've answered my prayers! Btw this location is great! The employees are very welcoming, kind & patience. Looking forward to many more boba visits!

Who doesn't love boba (bubble tea)? Kung Fu Tea has numerous varieties of bubble tea -- with and without the tapioca bubbles (however, the bubbles are the tastiest part!). I've never seen such variety at any bubble tea outlet. They have a huge array of regular items and clearly identify whether the teas have caffeine or allergins. In addition, you can customize the drink based on the level of sweetness. This isn't a special order sort of thing. They are used to tailoring the sweetness to your liking. Overall: I really enjoy Kung Fu Tea as a special treat. Great place for kids, dates, etc. Glad that Knoxville has it.

Almond Milk Tea w Boboa and Caramel Macchiato
Shari S.

I finally stopped here and now this is my forever new spot to order my Boboa Tea. I love the menu colors, I love the interior design and my drink ( Almond Tea ) was amazing. My son drink , he said it wasn't that sweet therefore hopefully if we can go back we can try something different.

Hard to find a boba place around in this area. Taste just like any other kung fu tea - which is a good thing. Our orders came out quick. Place was clean and staff were nice.

So my husband has mentioned bubble tea for several months. We enjoy drinking tea, but I didn't understand the concept of bubble tea. It just didn't make sense in my head. I was picturing tea with some kind of carbonated liquid. So we tried it out for the first time and it was pretty good. It is not what I expected at all. The bubbles are actually little chewy balls at the bottom of your tea. I would recommend you to stir your drink before you drink it so you can have bubbles throughout and not just at the end. My husband had tea and he really enjoyed it. There are steps that you follow that help guide you through the ordering process. The young lady at the cash register was very nice, friendly and she did a awesome job explaining our options. There is caffeinated tea, non-dairy tea, slushies and more.

5 stars. Take my money. Let me start a franchise. Chefs kiss. The whole 9 yards. This place is incredible. Attached to a restaurant, quick service, extremely clean, very crowded. This place is popular and refreshing. My mango peach tea was incredible to take on our walk during a hot day.

Reema P.

This place was a hit with my family. The Taro Tea was to die for! Haven't had good tarp bubble tea in a while and this hit the spot. I went twice in one week it was amazing!

Becky B.

Covid mask policy was observed by all parties which is a 5 star rating for me! I would definitely recommend looking at the menu online if it's your first time ordering. The girls at the register taking your order are so nice and friendly aNd help you out. I love boba tea.

What's the Tea?!? PHENOMENAL!! (This is the KERNS FOOD HALL…read moreLOCATION.) Zach was beyond generous to me and my Husband! The tea was absolutely incredible and flavorful. My Husband Didn't really favor the Matcha Latte, but I Liked it!! I got the Taro Tea, (exquisite!) and we both got The brown sugar Boba to go with it! Even our little guy was sneaking sips when we had our heads turned! Haha! The service was Fast, our drink were done 7 minutes from ordering. It was just enough time to walk around and order some Sushi! We liked the price, and they have SO MANY DIFFERENT OPTIONS and flavors on how to customize your Tea. The first time I came here, I got a Banana Milk Tea with Blueberry popping pearls!! My Little Guy LOVED IT!(They were out of the Brown Sugar) So I was very fortunate this time to try the "Famous Brown Sugar Popping Pearls" Thanks Zach for following Directions and Doing light Ice too! Oh Also, that Foam that they put on Top... it's unlike anything I've ever Tasted!!! So thick, creamy and Delicious! It's like a dessert on top of the Drink itself!! This store is so adorable with other little Japanese and Asian sides. (Picky, boxed Ramen, little Candies) Honestly, We will be excited to be back and to spend our money here!! My Recommendations: -The Taro Milk Tea is PHENOMENAL!! Especially with the brown sugar Boba . It's a Classic!! -The Matcha is Kind of Weak compared to How me and my Husband drink it. It could have been a little sweeter. -The Banana Milk tea is wonderful!! Pros: -In the Kerns Food Hall... So Variety!! -Flavorful Tea!! -Not Too Expensive -Kind, Fast Serving Staff -Staff that listens to your Requests. Cons: -Due to Demand, they Run out of the Brown Sugar Boba I guess a lot! Thanks Hey Bear! See you Soon! -The Kanevski's

Took a bit to get my drink and I asked if it was light ice and she said it has a certain amount of ice. I drank it down quick and it was about 3/4 full of ice which was very disappointing. Similar to Starbucks where they gip you on the actual drink and give you a ton of ice.

What a great recommendation!!! first off I have spent quite…read morea while looking for fresh spring rolls... and then I was told Sticky Rice Café has them! They do and they are delicious... served with peanuts sauce, of course From the moment we walked in the energy, vibe and passion was apparent!! Our server was Tre... He asked us if we had eaten there before which we told him we had not so he took the time and explained the menu the food and also his favorite pics. He explained grandma's sauces and gave us a great education on the type of food that we would be ordering! After the spring rolls, my husband ordered the dinner portion of grilled pork chops. BIINGMOO and I ordered PAD KEE MAO.... This is wide noodles in an amazing sauce and you have your choice of beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, or tofu to be added. I chose beef......Tre brought three little dishes to sample three at grandma's sauces which all had amazing flavors with a little bit of heat... our meals were brought to us and of course we tasted each other's meals and we're amazed at the freshness, flavor and the size. Oh my goodness this is a place that if you enjoy fresh food with an Asian twist, you need to try it. Grandma sauces can be purchased as they are bottled for sale as well. Service was wonderful to go food going out the door was nonstop. And we were lucky enough to sit at the far back of the restaurant next to the kitchen, so we got to watch all of the different platings coming out.... And we just need to start at the top of the menu and work our way down because everything looks wonderful. Happy people, happy servers, great vibe. There is a bar off to the side, which basically was full the entire time we were there. Really a very nice experience five stars and two thumbs up!!!!

Ming explained this to me before so I was prepared. :) My friend got the ramen bowl with spicy miso and ribeye and said it was amazing with the perfect amount of spice. Another friend got the Crab poke bowl, she said it was good with different textures. Everything we ate was good! The atmosphere was relaxing (we were seated in the corner booth).
