Have gotten takeout here frequently. Bubble teas are always good. Always happy to go back and will continue to do so.

Wanting some milk tea, I ended up coming to this Kung Fu Tea location. My husband forgot to grab his mask that was left in the car, a few blocks away (there is free street parking available but it may take a little bit of luck to find some on a Friday evening). He was hoping to see if this tea location had a mask on hand. When we came in, the employee was stern and told my husband he had to wear a mask or needs to leave immediately. When he asked if they had a mask for him, she said no and was rather on the rude side. We both understand the need to wear a mask (we are both health care providers) but there was no reason to be rude about it. My husband just waited outside while I made our order, which was: Herbal Jelly Wow Drink, $4.85 prior to tax- I ordered this drink for my husband, made with 50% sweetener and no ice. This drink comes with herbal black jelly and boba, definitely quite a delicious treat. I have ordered this drink before at a Kung Fu Tea closer to my home in Los Angeles and this tasted just as good as the one I had. Almond Milk Tea, $4.75 prior to tax- I ordered this drink to be made with 50% sweetener and no ice as well. I thought this drink was good and also taste the same as the one I have had at locations back home. ------------------------- (Total= $10.23 after tax) There is a 10% discount with Yelp check in. Drinks were good but service wasn't the most friendly. But to be honest, Asian places aren't exactly known for their customer service so that didn't bother me too much. But if we lived by this area, my husband probably would not come back because of the way he was treated. There is limited seating inside during our visit. read more

Kung Fu Tea - I always order 30% sweetened every time I get my tea, This was extremely over sweetened and it's not the first time it's happened. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

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! Generally speaking, Kung Fu Tea scores 5, but it's usually a low 5, considering that it's a massive international corporate chain, whose milk teas don't match up to the best chains: Sharetea, Gong Cha and Coco. However, they're still really good, and the fruit teas here are among the best. Especially the lemon black tea which absolutely rocks my world. If it's not on the menu, demand it! Other fruit teas (Berry, Orange, Grapefruit) must also be ordered off-menu as Black Tea instead of the meh Green. Also the Lemon Black tastes good as a Lemon Oolong, but everyone else hates it because they have bad taste. Anyway let's get some food to go with our Bubble Teas. I'm feeling kung-ry. KFT of Malden was super friendly and was busy and packed full of people and one of the people that was here was flirting with me which I really appreciated so I complimented her and the flirting got even flirtier. And the lemon black tea tasted good and on the sweet and sour side like all of the other locations in Boston for that matter - and all the ones in Atlanta, go figure - and I think they're all owned by the same person in both cases, as in, one owner for the BOS and one owner for the ATL. I like all of them for the most part as far as I remember and this one is one of the better ones - and there's also plenty of places to sit down which cannot be said about a lot of the others. Nice decor, friendly people, popular spot, like your mama's bedroom. 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! read more

Lately I've been given inaccurate drink orders and terrible customer service.. For the past couple orders I've ordered a simple taro milk tea with less ice and 70% sugar. One visit I've tasted straight up water. I didn't taste it until after I got home and I contacted kft and they informed me there was nothing they could do. The second time it was completely the wrong drink. My last visit which was today, it was the same order and it tastes like straight up water once again. This location use to be my favorite and now it has easily became the worst... I won't be returning. read more

Go here pretty often and their drinks are always great! I usually just get their milk tea, avocado smoothie or brown sugar milk tea with tapioca. The tapioca is always perfectly sweet and chewy. Never had a bad experience - very SOLID!!! The staff is pretty friendly and the service is fairly quick. They offer a lot of variety from milk teas, fruit teas and smoothies. read more

My go to drink is a "Mango Green Tea" w/ mango jelly. (Sometimes with boba) The mango green tea is perfect most of the time at this Kung Fu Tea because they do not make it extra sweet and I do like tasting the tea flavor as well. I do like their Thai Tea as well. Parking: Street parking read more

Kung Fu Tea - Mango Green Tea w/ Mango Jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

Located on the busy roads of Malden, this spot is a smaller location that others I've been to but their Teas are still the best. Was quickly rung out and my tea was created just a few steps behind the cash register. Not much in terms of seating, maybe to deter the local student body from lingering long. Can get a little congested in the entrance as I can imagine during the summer time things can get a little busy. Bathroom is located next to the seating area and cashier which I can image can quickly turn the place a little sour quickly with someone doing their business. Best to grab your tea and continue on your way. read more

Went into this location at 11.05 am this morning and stared at with a very confused employee. I asked if they were open and he replied back no. So I asked when do you open? He looked at the register and notice it was already past 11. He looked at and said we are not open. I thanked him say you open at 11 right and he replied we are waiting for a person to come in. Not even a sorry we are running late and if you don't min waiting for a bit or any kind of apology. Service at the place has always been so/so. I will not be giving them any more business and neither should you. read more

I usually go to the Chinatown branch for this but we we're at the Malden area and I was craving for some milk tea. So we decided to stop by since it's only 3 mins drive. I ordered a taro slush with no boba but when I was walking out the store I noticed that they gave me the wrong order. I was a little disappointed but I didn't want to come back to get it done again. It's was kind of busy and I didn't want to waste my time waiting. When I got home and tried my drink but it's super sweet I could barely even swallow it and they had boba inside when I asked for no boba. I don't know how I feel about that. I only took one or two sips of my drink and I could not finish it. read more

I got my first ever bubble tea at this location a few years ago when they first opened. I love the location as it's located in Malden Square and easy to get to. I had the white grape slush today and it was pretty good though I thought it was incomparable to the mango slush which I'd recommend to everyone that reads this review. There's usually 2-3 people working everytime I've gone in but it's relatively quick and they have lots of promotions on their app and email list if you're looking to save a few bucks! read more

My drink took so long, that even the people in the line after me got their drinks. Then when I finally got my drink and IT WAS WRONG!!! I asked the manager kenneth for help but with no luck he was not able to fix my order nor talk to me with any respect. I do not recommend this place, there are plenty of other boba shops nearby with better service.Also the staffs there are very racist towards hispanic people and they're coworkers who aren't asian don't recommend this place 1/10 read more

If you've had Kung Fu Tea before this is no different. Quick service with pretty good bubble tea. Short line of 4 people and we got our order within 5 minutes. The space is larger than most Kung Fu Teas with room to seat about 10-15 people. Desserts ordered: - Mango green tea+boba 30% sugar - Thai Tea + boba Pros: - Room to sit and hang out - Bathroom available to customers - Quick service - pretty good boba Cons: - Decent drinks - sometimes the line can be long and you'll have to wait outside. - The seating area can get crowded Verdict: - Good place to satisfy your boba craving and decent place to study or hang out with friends. read more

Myself and a few yelpers stopped in this kung fu tea after indulging in dim sum around the corner unfortunately we were disappointed the line was long the drinks were so so just a big mess it looked as if everyone was just learning how to do their job not to mention there were bubbles all over the sidewalk outside look like they were from the night before emptying a machine because there were hundreds of them not from one drink and there's definitely miscommunication while ordering I will give them another shot next time I'm downtown Malden but for now unfortunately I have to go with two stars read more

We love this. Our to go place every month .I would recommend to go there..team is awesome ..love their mocha and kg milk tea

This is prob my favorite place to get boba tea. It's convenient for me. The parking isn't great. You would have to park on the street or park in the public parking lots available. Usually it is packed. The lines to order moves pretty quick. Sometimes I order through Uber Eats just because I don't want to deal with parking and the lines. If you are a regular they have a rewards apps and you can download and earn free drinks. My favorite is the mango slush, I usually add aloe along with the mango filling they already have in it. ***Warning*** IT CAN BE ADDICTING!!! :) read more

Kung Fu Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

Really yummy and clean considering that this seems to be a Millenial favorite. What I learned 1. The ordering sequence is important- s-L or hot 2. Less sugar is still a lot, half or none next time 3. Better to speak Chinese to order 4. Use more than one quarter for the meter as the operation is slow 5. Worth the wait read more

I had to update my review based off of the poor customer service that I witnessed last night. The person at the register didn't greet me, I didn't think much of it. I place my order no problem it was once it was done their was no interaction and it felt as if he plopped my drink down with some type of attitude. I love kung fu tea and never had an issue but last night the behavior from that staff member was uncalled for. Mind you it wasn't even busy! I've worked in a fast paced restaurant and trust and believe I checked my emotions at the door before ringing up a customer. You never know how much they may have need that welcoming spirit. Bubble tea: 2.5 Customer service: 1.5 smile a little read more

Kung Fu Tea never disappoints. My go-to is the taro milk tea with boba, and it tastes the same every time, whether I'm in NYC or Boston Chinatown or Malden. Before I start sounding like a marketing rep, I really do have no complaints here. My bubble tea always comes out quickly and is executed perfectly with perfectly cooked boba. Even my husband enjoyed this drink, and he doesn't normally like bubble tea. I have a rabid sweet tooth, so I enjoy it at the regular sweetness level, but if you have a true Asian palate, ask for less sweetness. I actually enjoy this location more than the Boston Chinatown one, which is always packed with barely any standing room. You can actually sit down with a friend here! The bathroom is also large and clean here. I'm very excited to be moving to a town with a Kung Fu Tea in the center! read more

This location is one of the larger ones I've been to. They have seating if you and your friends want to hang out. I've tried a couple milk teas (oolong milk tea, milk green tea, taro milk tea) and it comes out diluted each time. When ordering a slush drink, remember to request for "more ice"; if you don't, they will assume that you prefer a more liquid drink. During the most recent visit, I ordered the taro slush and the consistency was very similar to a taro milk tea. The drink was spilling out of the cup making it difficult to hold, let alone drink. Making the drink liquid-like, defeats the purpose of it being a slush. read more

After having dim sum with friends, we naturally went for boba tea. It's pretty much the same Kung Fu Tea as any other branch. Unlike the one in Chinatown, there are tables and chairs for you to sit around and just relax. read more

My family and I went here this week to get a drink after dim sum. There was a queue and the wait was over 10 minutes. I ordered a red bean slush. When it came out, it was a reddish-brown color. I thought it would be a lighter color since they mixed it with milk. The color didn't look too appealing but the drink was good. However, I probably will order something else next time. read more

Great bubble tea in a convenient spot! Would highly recommend if you're in the area!!

Not going again anytime soon until they change their service. Orders are coming out wrong and claiming that it's the correct order. Ordered a taro milk tea and the color of it was brown instead of the normal lavender color. In addition to their hard boba that looks and taste not fresh at all. Overall poor customer service and quality of drinks. read more

Awesome tea. Really loved the flavor and toppings.. will come again with family. Great for tea lovers!!

Awesome bubble tea and great service ! :) we have been coming here for years and love the quality and consistency.

Yum! Bubble tea! Milk tea! Slushies! Smoothies! I'm in heaven! Did you know that they were open on Christmas Day? There was a line out the door and down the block. It is that good! I love that you can customize your drink so it is exa fly the way you like it. Everyone here is super friendly. It is usually busy so you would do best to decide what you want before getting in line. It is a super fun, modern, clean and KPoppy atmosphere I also love that you can order delivery through Uber Eats. It is super close to Boda Borg and Wanyoo Gaming Cafe (less than a 5 minute walk) so take the short walk down the street and check out Kung Fu Tea. You won"t regret it! Parking is very easy - either on the street or around the corner in the garage. I recommend the milk tea with boba. Delicious! read more

This Kung Fu Tea(KFT) is just like all the other Kung Fu Teas around, consistent quality bubble tea made fast and fresh to order. There isn't too much to say about this spot if you had KFT before . If you haven't and are considering whether or not to try this particular brand. It's worth it! KFT milk tea can be customized with different levels of ice and sugar. I personally get boba milk tea with 30% sugar and less ice and no matter what store I go to, it's the same. the boba are tapoica pearls that are soaked in honey and have some sweetness to them too. So even if you get 0% sugar, you will still have a sweet drink. The black teat that they use has a bit of a earl grey flavor and might not be for everyone. Like I said early, if you haven't tried KFT this is spot is worth a try. If you've been here before, know that it is the same quality boba tea you'll receive and any of their other stores. Side note: They like to play K-pop really loudly in the store, which is consistent with their other locations. Unfortunately, they positioned the speaker immediately over the ordering counter. This requires you to speak loudly to the employee and then they have to yell back at you for you to complete the order. It's a funny transaction but also a really poor design. read more

Would 10/10 recommend!! I was very impressed with the quickness and precision with the drinks !

While I still really like Kung Fu Tea, I'm never going to this location again. Sign on the door says only 5 customers in at a time. Wasn't enforced, at all. I ordered a simple drink that then took over 25 minutes. I watched as people who came in AFTER me, all got served ahead of me. When I asked why I'd been waiting for so long and at least 4 people, who came in after me got served sooner, the one woman working the counter made the excuse that they get a lot of on-line orders. Which didn't apply. Because all 4 who got served before me, had also placed their order *in person*, just like me. No attempt was made to apologize for the wait, or the mistake. That's pretty much all I wanted. If someone had at least said, "Oh, oops, that wasn't intentional. We'll get on that. Sorry.", along with some kind of an idea of aprox. how much longer I had to wait, I would have been okay. Excuses aren't an apology. Not enforcing the "only 5 in the store at a time" policy was also really not cool. The pandemic isn't over yet. read more

Pathetic customer service. Drove today 20 min to order my the bubble tea and after over 15 min on the line the person in charge didn't let me order because i didn't have mask (im fully vaccinated and also didn't read the sing before go inside). I get it so i went back to my car and cover my face and she still didn't wanted to take my order because on her opinion I wasn't well covered. Come on !!!! You guys should teach some hospitality lessons to your management! I understand the covid situation but if they are so strictly they should have said when i arrived not after i spent 15 min for nothing. read more

I'm truly disappointed with every order I had from this location. I never have any problems with ordering from Allston, Chinatown and previously, Symhony. My co-workers and I are huge fans of Kung Fu Tea that we always order about 5-7 drinks before we go to work. One time we ordered 7 drinks at the store and then the staff started complaining about our orders in mandarin and looking at us with bad looks. The other time we ordered Doordash. The delivery person came to pick up the drinks and they called to inform us that the drinks were not made yet and so delivery was delayed for another half an hour. Very inconvenient for Doordash and us. Today, we ordered a few drinks again from Doordash. All but mine were correct. I ordered red bean wow milk but they gave me red bean slush, instead. I cannot have a slush drink and so I was not able to drink it and they would not do anything about it. So sad that Malden is never consistent with customer service and thoroughness. read more

So first experience brought me back. Here's my first review: This place is so cool! Just try to find someone who speaks English if you don't speak Chinese. For me, it was only an issue because I am so picky and have dietary issues, but it turned out exactly how I wanted it despite the fact that there was a little difficulty around communicating with the employee taking my order. That being said, great vibe and delicious slushy made with only a splash of caramel and completely dairy free! Wooohooo! What a find! Second visit: Stood at the register for 10 mins. First, they said they cannot make the drink the way it was made before. Then they said ok but just this time after a few mins of back and forth. Then, they stood there and watched me try to get the coupon on yelp foe 10% off (when I asked if I could use that, it was rhetorical but she answered "yeah if you want" as she turned her back on me) and when it didn't work three times in a row, someone came over like she was going to know how to fix he issue. She said just this once. Wow so sweet to make all of these exception begrudgingly. And then tell me again that it was just this once and we can't do that after talking about me in hushed tones. Needless to say, I won't be back. read more

The staff at this Kung Fu Tea are very friendly. I could tell they were slightly stressed with the amount of customers when I came in, but as long as you are friendly to the staff (which you should always be friendly to food service workers), they will be friendly back. I actually bought a reusable stainless steel boba straw at another Kung Fu Tea and the cashier complimented me about it and she said she wished their location had the reusable straws. She was very nice :) I tried the Rosebud Milk Tea with half the flavor and pearls (I usually get boba tea with 50 or 30 percent sugar, however this flavor didn't use sugar but used a flavor powder instead so I had to do half the flavor). Even with the half flavor, there was nothing lacking. It was still too sweet for me, but it tasted like yogurt and it was a great treat in a hot summer day. If I'm ever in the area I will go back here :) read more

I live around the block. It's the only place nearby that I actually get cravings for. The app makes it super easy to order and pick it up, so I don't have to stand around in covid times. I am boring I order the same thing a black tea with boba and a wow cap. It's good and like being able to customize the for no ice and no sugar. I am sweet enough with the added sugar. read more
