3 stars because I only liked the tea and the service. I didn't like the boba, which is kind of the whole point of a boba shop in my opinion. I came here for the first time recently and ordered a lychee black tea with boba. At first sip, I felt something was off: there was popping boba in my drink, not regular boba! Not a big deal, the staff were understanding about this and remade my drink for free, which I very much appreciated. After I got my hands on the correct drink, I regretted it. I wish I just stuck with the first drink with the popping boba, it tasted better than the regular boba LOL. The boba pearls were so hard and not soft and chewy. I disliked them so much that I proceeded to avoid consuming the boba pearls and only drink the tea. Still, boba options are limited in the area so I will probably be back at some point the next time I have a craving. I'll probably try a different topping than regular boba though lol

Honey oolong tea with bubbles
Gianna S.

This location is just north of the Columbia Medical campus. It's fairly spacious inside, but all the tables were pushed to the side so there's no seating and it is take-out only. It could have been a little cleaner inside, but for to-go it was fine. The drinks were made quickly and there are a lot of ways to customize your drink like choosing the amount of ice or level of sugar. A large tea (no milk) with bubbles was $5.70 ($6.21 after tax) which is about average for the city.

Cat Noir's Cocoa Cataclysm on the menu
Jordan M.

Really disappointing. I ordered delivery and the menu photos are very misleading. The tea was more like a cup of plain milk with some boba at the bottom. Look at my photos to see what I ordered vs. what I got.

Raw tip filter in the food which was previously in someone's mouth
Giselle V.

Hi I'm never one to review things. In this case I have no choice but to this. Today I decided to come here to enjoy a wonderful meal with my husband . We decide to eat in the car and while my husband is eating he chews on something that is a little hard to chew on . Guess what it was???? A raw tip used for smoking in his food!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this place but unfortunately I can no longer give them my business that was one of the sloppiest things I've ever experienced with a restaurant !!!!!!

Poke Bowl (preset combination)
Vicky R.

They recently opened up which may explain the kinks they need to work out. The biggest one is the ordering set up. They have a separate cashier if you're ordering drinks and if you're ordering a poke bowl. If you want one of each...tough luck, you have to wait in line twice, even though the same person is operating both cashiers. I got the preset poke bowl which came with tuna, salmon and shrimp. Although it was expensive ($13) the portion size was generous. The crunchy garlic on top went perfectly with the bowl. I also got an oolong milk tea with bubbles. The boba is soft and chewy. The oolong flavor doesn't come out but this is consistent across all Kung Fu Tea chains. Still a nice treat and I'm glad they've opened up! I just hope they work out a better ordering system.

Kung fu milk tea with bubbles
Phuong D.

The opening of this store came with great fanfare because we have all been severely bubble tea-deficient up in Washington heights. It took more than a month from when they opened until they actually have bubble tea. I ordered a poke bowl with the build your own option and a classic milk tea with bubbles. The poke is good, but taste-wise is in the same league as the other poke place in Washington heights. The bubble tea is good and pretty similar to other stores in the Kung fu chain, with chewy bubbles with a hint of honey (my fav out of all the bubble tea chains out there). You can tell that the staffs are new and in training because they took a long time to make the drinks. Because of that, there is a sign that says if you are not satisfied with what you get, they will remake it. I was satisfied with mine, but my friend wasn't and she was able to have another one made to her liking. The store itself is pretty spacious and clean, with a few tables for customers. Overall I am happy that I now don't have to travel downtown for bubble tea, and will definitely come back.

2 stars just cause the bubble tea was good. They failed today as I ordered a pokebowl. Order was not correct. As seen in picture says brown rice protein x2. I chose eel and spicy salmon. No brown rice and no eel as proven in the picture. Food wasn't bad however not what i ordered. I do not recommend getting anything other than bubble tea here. Sidenote: I was the only person in the store they were not busy at all.

Longan Jujube Tea with mango jelly and boba
April H.

Okay, I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. I basically live here- at least 4 or more days a week I'm here in the afternoon getting my boba fix. And I mean, it's cheaper and tastier than Starbucks, so who wouldn't?! The staff here work super hard and are always really friendly. Today is National Boba Day and they were swamped around 3 when I came, but they were still serving everyone in a pretty timely manner and with a smile. Their menu is pretty extensive. I try to get something new every time I come- the only thing I've had that I didn't absolutely love was their rose hip milk tea, but of course that's just my personal taste. So glad to have this spot in the neighborhood!

Pokebowl
Mako S.

My girlfriend and I come here a lot to get quick poke bowls/boba , but I doubt we'll ever be coming back again. After doing an order for 3 bowls to go and coming home to eat, I found a special surprise that had been included in my bowl that I didn't notice until something sharp hit the roof of my mouth, Straight up a piece of glass was somehow mixed in. I'll never be ordering from here again and I'm glad I was able to catch it before swallowing it and inevitably having to go to the hospital later on :/ extremely disappointed

Signature Tea Earl Grey
Ashley S.

They have great bubble tea here at reasonable prices. My favorites are the Thai milk and earl gray bubble teas. They also seem to have poke here but I haven't tried it. If you download their app they also send coupons. Will definitely be back for afternoon tea to get me through the day!

I have never heard of a Kung Fu Tea selling anything but bubble tea. Being the only bubble tea place around, we had to try it out! My friend and I came in around 6pm on a weekday and there were quite a bit of people there. They had one cashier taking bubble tea orders and the other taking the poke bowl orders. We grabbed a menu and markers and just started selecting all the things we wanted! The price for the bowl came out to about $13. The price is pretty standard for poke bowls. I think my only complaint is that both my friend and I barely got any of the protein. We were given a lot of toppings which I appreciate but I wished I gotten a little more fish. Other than that, it was a delicious meal and we will probably be back for more!

Honey Milk Tea with Oreo
Miriam C.

I order from here for lunch often and they never disappoint. I like having the option to create your own poke bowl and the ingredients are fresh which makes it even more yummy . The bubble tea is delicious. I love how the boba is sweet .

I got the Lychee Punch with bubbles and jelly! Loved it -- next time I wouldn't get bubbles with this drink!

I've been stopping by this location whenever I'm in Koreatown, and it's always a great experience…read more I dropped in again after dinner tonight and was genuinely blown away--a very friendly African American gentleman who helped me on a previous visit actually recognized me! With the number of people he must see every day, that kind of personal touch really stood out. I had my fav, chocolate with Cap'n Crunch and brownies--trust me, it's the best!

i don't normally leave bad reviews, but this location was extremely disappointing…read more i love and frequent pinkberry often back home in socal, so i was excited to get a taste of some good froyo in nyc. when we walked into the store, i noticed how hot and stuffy it was in there. there was a line of about 4-5 people in front of us when we first entered, but it just kept growing as time passed til it was literally packed to the door. the table i waited at was also sticky and had trash and toppings dried on it. my boyfriend ordered for us - we got a small cup of froyo and an order of dragon berry tea. he waited around 15 minutes only to notice the cashier hadn't given the other workers his order receipt, so the people behind him in line were receiving their orders first. when he ordered the tea, one of the workers had told him that he couldn't order it because they were out of some ingredients, but another worker corrected her and told her not to tell customers that they're out, just cuz she doesn't know how to make it. seems like there is an issue with improperly trained staff. anyways, after waiting around 30 minutes for them to give us our order, we were disappointed by the amount of froyo we got. it was also melted by the time we got it. the tea was flavorless - just tasted like sour water. overall, was underwhelming and disappointing.

I didn't realize golden bubble literally just meant golden boba balls. I thought it would be some sort of special milk tea flavor LOL. But it wasn't so it was just your typical milk tea (which was pretty good) with LOTS (too much) of boba (not good). The boba to tea ratio could definitely be a lot better, half the drink was boba which is way too much. I also wish the boba was a little less chewy. They recommended 50% sugar so I got 25% and it was still too sweet for me. The upside is that it did satisfy the boba craving for the moment. And the service was quick! It was also a little bit hard to find this store because people were doing construction around the building.

The man at the cashier was very nice, but he was training, so it took us about 10 min to order our drinks. He asked us the same questions multiple times. I got the peach green tea (large size) with their signature golden boba. The peach green tea tasted like water. There was not much substance. I liked the boba was nice and squishy (and not too big). I liked that they have multiple customization options as other places (less sugar, less ice, less boba). It was a standard bubble tea place.

Ahh, grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my childhood favorite dessert and summons nostalgia! It is my mission to search for bubble tea businesses that offers grass jelly as a topping for my primary reason to patronize. It was abundant which filled one quarter of my medium sized drink. The grass jelly topping is New York City standard priced at $0.50 at least there is sustainability and a sense of normalcy. I requested regular ice, but the entire ice dispensed disappointedly melted and the drink became room temperate. Heat wave medium $6.00 Passionfruit green tea with grass jelly, 50%, light sugar. The drink alone was good quality. While scanning the electronic menu the drink names appear very comical and not business appropriate as well as this bubble tea business name Ho Ho Te. The sound speakers is boisterously loud blasting music directly at my face by the ordering counter. The cashier associate was 90% inaudible of her customer service questions due to the boisterously loud blasting music as I had to fight loud vs. loud by blurting loudly several times: "WHAT?" Why would a business intentionally place sound speakers in front of a ordering counter station where customers must communicate their food/drink orders? How can customers place their drinks orders with clear specific description/instructions only for the cashier associate to inadvertently obfuscate by misinformation because the message conveyed was utterly misinterpreted? Communication is vital for ordering and order fulfillment accuracy in the food service industry! The cardboard paper straws available are environmentally sustainable friendly for biodegradable and compostable. However, these cardboard straws taste AWFULl!! The drink selection is very limited menu compared with other bubble tea competitors. Disappointedly there is no Jasmine green tea on the menu. There are some food items. Takeout menus are available for grabs. Loyalty card is available which also serve as business card where the back is printed in gold foil. This business is very accessible by MTA NYC Transit at Port Authority 42nd Street's A, C, E trains and buses near the peripheral of Times Square.

I was expecting bold, creamy matcha and ube or taro flavors, but it just tasted artificial and flat :( like a cheaper version trying to ride the wave of the trendy flavors.
