I love their drinks it is always refreshing and there are so many options. I either like the pineapple green tea , passionfruit or watermelon slush . The staff is always never and quick. I never order toppings because there is an extra charge. I stopped to get food but I may go back to get another tea instead of drinking water . It is a to go only set up. I believe one can order ahead using the app. read more

I did not realize Kung Fu Tea franchise has a very large prominent presence in the boba scene. It is the largest American bubble tea company as per Kung Fu Tea's website. I always enjoyed their fruit teas. I would return to patronize again, again, again and again but in different locations throughout NYC. Peach Oolong tea, medium $5.25 I inquired if this tea was available which to my astonishment it surely is. Kung Fu Tea surely have my default topping herbal jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 which, of course, I included in my order for $0.75. The tea alone was enjoyable containing antioxidants which may help reduce inflammation and lower cholesterol levels, including reducing the risk of heart disease. The amount of herbal jelly was very abundant - which is exceeding unusual. There is no frugality for herbal jelly topping here. My strong proclivity for herbal jelly was fulfilled and advantageously satisfied. I requested "less sugar" which the peach syrup embedded makes this drink extremely sweet. I am glad that the customer can control the sugar level to one's liking. This drink contains fresh pieces of cut peach fruit. I highly despise extremely sweet drinks for the high sugar content intake volume. As usual I requested a lot of ice which the ice, again as usual, melted during my long-haul subway ride home but my drink remained chilled. I had to request for a sales receipt as the cashier/server did not automatically distributed to me. The drink label was somewhat easy to remove. This Kung Fu Tea is located in the periphery of Chinatown, Manhattan NYC. It sits on 73 Chrystie Street intersecting Hester Street in Lower East Side, Chinatown Manhattan, NYC. It is accessible via MTA NYC Transit subways B, D at Grand Street station. read more

Stopped in quickly before heading uptown. Menu lacks fruity flavors. Ordered a honey black tea with a milk cap. Check your receipt! The menu said one price for the tea with milk cap and then I was charged the price for a regular honey black tea plus the up charge for the milk cap. I brought it to the guy's attention and he was able to fix the issue, but kind of concerning that he didn't know how much the drink that I ordered cost and then up charged me for the drink I ordered. Ambiance isn't anything special. read more

Came here the other day to get something light and refreshing. I came around prime time which is usually between 1-3:30pm so do expect a line when coming here. Service was quick and easy as the staff was efficient making the drinks and I paid via the kungfu tea app to get points. It can get pretty lively here and the ambiance is usually in and out with customers due to small space. Love the tea and good price for good bubble tea. Got the passionfruit green tea :) read more

I haven't had Kung Fu Tea in a minute; but, today, my coworker was going out to get a drink, and before she left, she asked me if I wanted anything. I said, "Sure, surprise me," and surprise me she did. * Peach Green Tea When my coworker brought back their Peach Green Tea, initially, I was worried that it would taste incredibly artificial. But, it didn't. Instead, the refreshing combination of floral peach, crisp green tea, and diced peach near floored me. Highly recommend! read more

Came here to try the new kirby's fruity flurry drink and was terribly disappointed. I had high expectations for this drink but sadly thought it tasted like cough medicine and was super sweet even with 30% sugar. The presentation was cute and all but after taking a few sips I had to throw it away since it tasted so bad which felt like such a waste being that the drink itself was almost $7. My boyfriend got the kiwi punch drink and also opted for 30% sugar and found that his drink was also too sweet. We ordered on the app for pickup and my drink was not ready at the promised pickup time. The cashier told me to wait a bit but even when my drink was ready, she did not hand me my drink though I was right there - I had to ask her for my drink. When I went, I noticed that they were also charging an extra fee (I think it was 50 cents) for card payments in store which I thought was interesting... If you order through the app though - you can avoid this fee! Won't be coming back to this location though I do love other kft locations! read more

I would say that Kung Fu Tea is one of my favorite chain boba places where they are always pretty consistent. Unfortunately, this visit or this location was just meh. I ordered my drink with as little sugar as possible, and it came out tasting very syrupy and sweet. When I went back to see if they could fix it, they ripped off the lid, dumped about half of it out, filled it with unsweetened tea and then resealed it. Normally I would have been fine with that but what rubbed me the wrong way was that they made me feel like it was my fault and I should have known to order something else! read more

Update: Their customer service has declined tremendously. They charged me about $6 for a drink that was 95% all milk. They did not care about my concern or tried to do anything to rectify it. I will no longer spend any money here...not even if it was over 100 degrees and I'm thirstier then a lost person at the Sahara desert!!! There's too many good tea places to waste hard earned money here!!!! read more

I asked one of the many server girls that I love, here, on a date. But then I found out how old she is, or isn't, I should say. So we had to cancel. So it's "Young Fu Tea." Jando is right, it's the Starbucks of Bubble Tea. And who doesn't like rapping about Starbucks. Um. What. It makes some of the rivals taste like eating cow DUNG FU It's at the top of the ladder, while you're on the lowest RUNG FU You'll love if you're easy going, even highly STRUNG FU So if you want a Lemon Black Tea, you come to KUNG FU I tasted it and screamed so loud that I collapsed a LUNG FU I carried on screaming and sounded like Angus YOUNG FU They played Sting on the radio, but I'm already STUNG FU By the wondrous Lemon Black Tea they serve at KUNG FU I went to the toilet, opened Snapchat, then I SUNG FU Came back, took my pants off, and the girls yelled "HUNG FU!" In walked Barbie and immediately I'm SPRUNG FU And you should come and get a Lemon Black Tea from KUNG FU! WHAT So I keep seeing girls (and boys) in miniskirts in this location. Now I know why they call it "Sprung Fu Tea." 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! What else is good: I have a weird obsession with the Milk Tea w/Oreo and Boba. Winter Melon drinks are good too. Even in summer. Gasp. The Kung Fu Fighters are one of my favourite bands. Their biggest hit was "Learn To Fu" but I also really love "Ever-oolong." This is a super cute little Kung Fu tea location with really friendly service, perfectly located in the heart (or rather on the edge of the heart) of Manhattan's Chinatown about two blocks from where little Sammi Puff (the baby cat I found in Queens) hung out for an hour or two while I tried all the different Chinatown stuff before driving her to Stroudsburg and then Buffalo and then all the way down to Houston Texas which is her new home which she loves very much. Did I just digress? But yeah. So for that reason this location has special memories for me, but definitely a great location and super friendly as well and I'll definitely be stopping here on a regular basis. It is tiny and claustrophobic and often busy but that's okay. They have a couple of counters where you can sit, but that's about it. Some posters on the wall (read, all the posters on all the walls from special offers going back years), and like I said - really friendly girls working here. Generally speaking, Kung Fu Tea scores 5, which is a huge compliment, considering that it's a massive international corporate chain, whose milk teas don't match up to the best chains: Sharetea, Gong Cha, Tea Top, 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. Total addict. 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, and some locations won't do it unless you bat your lashes and such. Also the Lemon Black tastes good as a Lemon Oolong, but everyone else hates it that way - because they have bad taste. The one annoying thing about the chain is the corporate office (they're sketchy, and not in an artistic way) and their rule that no drink can have its tea altered (which I often convince employees to circumvent) (because it gives me an excuse to use the word circumvent). Anyway let's get some food to go with our Bubble Teas. I'm feeling kung-ry. read more

Let me not bore you with my on-going Brown Sugar Boba Milk journey... I definitely wanted to try as much of KFT branches as possible. After a gluttony dinner at Grand Seoul, we walked over and grabbed a large Cocoa Cream Wow... this branch doesn't really deliver the goods. The boba was not soft, not sweet and way too much milk, lots of ice. Not my fav. I wish all the branches are consistent however, it's decent enough to quench your craving. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Thai Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Kung Fu Tea is such a classic place to get boba. Went with a friend after dinner since we were craving for boba. The tea was good, but there's nothing too spectacular about this space because its what you'd expect for a boba shop. AMBIANCE: Kung Fu tea is a tiny shop! There's a small space in front of the cashier to stand and wait for your order, and theres a small "bar" seating area that can fit three or four chairs. Definitely more of a to go place. PROS: There are so many options you can choose from! At least 30+ drinks that these guys can make so it definitely can satisfy most if not all cravings people have for boba on any given day or night. I opted for the coconut milk tea medium sized with boba and that came around ~$4.60 ish. There are quite a few toppings you can add to your drink besides tapioca balls, and also you can customize your drink to your personal preferences based on the level of sugar and ice in it. I got my drink at 30% sugar and it was the perfect level of sweetness. 50% is usually very sweet. You can watch your drinks get made on the spot at the machine. You can also taste the coconut flavor in it and the consistency was very smooth and not too creamy/milky. A definite plus for me. My friend got the Lychee punch and enjoyed it alot. Since he is a die hard lychee fan anything that has lychee in it will score points for him. Definitely lots of different lychee options at Kung Fu ranging from punches to slushies. CONS: Only complaints is that this shop doesn't accept credit cards. Other Kung Fu tea shops do especially as you move north of Chinatown in Manhattan. OVERALL: Great spot to grab a quick boba or milk tea drink. Lots of options and customization here to personalize your own drink. Definitely affordable place as well, so will recommend anyone to check this spot out. read more

Great fruity drinks! Taste exactly the same as I've gotten at other KFT locations, and sugar levels are what you ask for. We got the grapefruit green tea 70% sugar with tapioca, and peach oolong tea 70% sugar (which has peach bits in it). They have a lot of seasonal drinks and milks teas / slush so there's something for everyone! Honey green tea, milk green tea, hot honey lemon tea, wintermelon tea are all YUM. There's a 50 cent charge for using card. Pretty odd for a bbt store, but cash is king in Chinatown. Covid times: store was quite crowded, a lillll too close for comfort read more

Can never go wrong with Kung fu tea. I always get either the oolong tea or regular milk tea. The bubbles here are good and chewy. You can also adjust the sugar level as it tends to be on the sweeter side but that's what I love about Kung fu tea. They also have a reward system on the phone app. Gotta collect all those bubbles! read more

ALLERGIES PLEASE BEWARE! There's DAIRY in the "non dairy" powder! Two staff told me it was non dairy twice. I asked to see the ingredients because I have a deadly allergy. The ingredients list says "whey protein" which is from cow's milk and can kill people with milk protein allergies. Please see photos of the ingredients list staff let me take. I almost got a tea with this powder in jt, because two different staff suggested it for someone that can't have dairy. If you have an allergy, I advise you to please be exceptionally careful at places that advertise drinks with "non-dairy creamer." I could've ended up in the ER. Vegans-You are also consuming milk and not knowing it if you have had any Kung Fu Tea drinks that contain this powder. Kung Fu Tea, I kindly ask that you please educate your staff. Don't advertise a product as non dairy if there is milk in it. read more

I usually come here to get drinks before heading the the D train. Today, we passed by here while heading to the Manhattan bridge and it was open. They only take mobile order, therefore download the app before hand. This makes sense. No one wants to be touching anything unnecessary. KFT Drinks are pretty sweet but I'm a fan of sweet. Even if it's 50% sugar level, it's consider sweet for a lot of people. Funny thing, after placing my mobile order, other people stopped by to get bubble tea. read more

The cream layer is salty so when you mix with the drink, it's very good. My friends got the milk green tea and Taro milk tea with bubbles.

The boba in the brown sugar boba was very flavorful and chewy. The Thai tea didn't have a regular Thai tea color or taste and was more of a milk tea which my daughter wasn't a fan of. They charge .50 extra if you use a card which is illegal if Visa is notified of these practices. The prices should be able to absorb credit card fees at this point. It just takes away from my desire to want to leave a tip. read more

I went for chai milk and added bubbles, herbal jelly and pudding to it. Chai milk was really good. I think that is black tea with milk.

So it is a take out and drink place. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Medium chai milk with bubbles, herbal jelly and pudding - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Bubble tea is like dessert. Even when you're full from dinner, somehow there's still room for a sweet tea-infused beverage. Kung Fu Tea is everywhere, so you can't avoid it. I don't get boba cravings very often, but Mr. Joy does. So when he orders a drink, I say I'll just have a sip and somehow end up drinking nearly half of it. Lucky for me, a regular size from Kung Fu Tea is plenty, and makes a good size for sharing. The have a good selection of flavors to try including the typical ones and some unique ones. I wonder what 'wow milk' is. Kung Fu Tea is one of those tea places that allows you to customize your level of sweetness. I find 30% sugar sweet enough. Prices are reasonable. The milk tea is around $3-$4 and boba is an additional $0.50. Service is pretty efficient and polite. Even when we sat by the window and chit-chatted until closing time, they patiently cleaned around us while we finished our drinks, which was very nice of the staff. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Kung Fu Tea is located all over NY but I've only been to this location. It's located on the corner sandwiched right between Popeye's chicken and my favorite Chinese BBQ joint in all of NYC, Wah Fung #1. Yes, that's how I remember where it is. They have good variety of fruit teas, WOW milk, which I think is just lactose free milk (NO TEA), and all the usual toppings. We ordered 2 large Kung Fu MT ($3.75) with grass jelly and 30% sweet. It cost $9.25x 30% sweet was just sweet enough. The MT has a stronger creamier / milky taste than tea taste. Grass jelly was soft, fresh, and smooth. I've also had the green MT here as well and it's pretty good. The main issue with this location is that it does get packed and I find myself looking for empty space while waiting for my drink. read more

This place has so many variations! They also offer LACTOSE FREE MILK called "WOW MILK", which is amazing as most bubble tea places don't have options for lactose intolerant people like me. I shared a hefty Medium Oreo bubble tea, which was very filling and sweet. It's a bit hard to get all the blended Oreo pieces at the bottom of the cup with a straw, but it's doable. Great treat! read more

I've been loyal to Kung Fu Tea in general and this location in specific as I live 2 blocks away. I always order their drinks through app and never have any issues. Last Friday, as usual I visited to pick up my drink, telling my name and drink. A short-hair girl (not the cashier) with such a negative attitude yelled at me, "give me the receipt then I give you the drink". Seriously, I just want to pick up my milk tea and my real name is on it, not enough ? You think someone might "steal" a drink without boba and with hair under the order sticker ? Yuckkk. To the owner, please train your employees with customer service and sanitation. Also I need to raise my concern about social distancing, 8 people (3 employees plus 5 customers) standing in a tiny fully-closed store are NOT okay. read more

Kung Fu in any state/city/anywhere this is the place to go if you want quality everywhere. It's the same everywhere. This is where I frequent when I visit in Atlanta, and now they have one in Charlotte. I did wish they were there where I live, but that's a different story. This shop is small, but it gets the work done. I always get the oolong milk tea with no sugar, no ice, and the popping bobas. I know, I'm crazy. I do like the taste of the tea more than the sweetness of it, so that's my usual go to. If you're looking for a quick boba spot, and want quality that doesn't change... Kung Fu Tea is the place to go. read more

Stopped by at this location for the first time this year to give it another try. I ordered the Rose hip milk tea and my boyfriend ordered the winter melon lemonade. After taking one sip of the rosehip milk tea, I immediately taste a bad sourness in the drink. I asked the cashier if the drink was suppose to be sour. She asked the barista if he made the drink and he told me it's rose berry. I then told him the drink taste sour and is there any way I can exchange to another drink. He turned to the cashier and asked "is it okay? It's your call (in Chinese)" and the cashier turned around and told me "no". I threw the drink away before leaving the store. Bottom line is, the drink tasted sour when it's not suppose to, and instead of accommodating a customer's wish to exchange the drink, they refused to show any customer gesture. So therefore, I will NEVER return to this location and support their business. read more
