    Roasted chestnut boba  Less tapioca boba, less ice, half sweet.
    Mela B.

    First time I came here, I didn't know what I was in the mood for. The owner suggested the roasted chestnut milk tea which piqued my interest as I love chestnut. Apparently this flavor is not offered at a lot of other bubble tea places, as I've found out. So it keeps me going back to Kung Fu locations! It was an excellent suggestion and I loved the bits of chestnut in my drink! Make sure to ask for the syrup to be shaken up if you go to other Kung Fu Tea locations, because I learned the hard way. The owner told me the bits settle at the bottom and if the worker doesn't shake the bottle, you don't get the chestnut bits. The owner here is super nice and knows, so I'm partial to going to the Norfolk location. I always get it with less tapioca boba, less ice, and half sweet. More than enough sweetness and delicious!

    I have been on a boba kick lately and have been trying any place I come in contact with. T Mobile Tuesday was offering a $2.00 off coupon so I went afternoon on my lunch break. I ordered my usual I get from any place, matcha drink with milk and bubbles. I did take off a star because they don't have milk options. They only serve lactaid milk. I usually get oat milk. My drink was delicious. I loved the way the bubbles tasted. I will definitely go back!

    Dranks!

    Cheers to good drinks! I have not ordered anything that I did not like! And trust me....I try to order something new every time I go in :) First time going? Don't worry, the awesome staff there are more than willing to point you in the right direction. Wait time was pretty fast. But if fast is not fast enough then place an order on its app!

    Saturday visit during COVID, mask required, carry out only, restrooms were open. Friendly, knowledgeable employee; guided girls through unfamiliar menu options (you may need a legend or google to lookup terms on your first encounters). Settled for 1 sunshine pineapple tea with mango balls, 1 matcha milk strike, and 1 peach oolong tea. $15 +tax/tip. Drinks were made quickly and correctly. Not knowing what to expect, daughters described them as cold drinks on a hot day; probably not something they'd crave daily, especially given the laxative after affects.

    Strawberry Milk Slush w/Tapioca Bubbles
    Leah C.

    First time ever being at a Boba Tea place and I had the best experience my friend recommended the Strawberry Milk Slush with the Tapioca Bubbles and it really hit! The only regret I have is not ordering a large. It's the kind of place you can be creative and try something outside of your comfort zone. I would come here over going to Starbucks for an overpriced drink anytime of day.

    Kung Fu tea is definitely a goto if I'm not near a mom n pops shop. They're trendy, hip and draw in a crowd of just about everyone who enjoys hot or cold tea. My particular experience here was pretty average. I usually get a 50-75% reduced sugar amount and the Taro tea is my usually. The restroom facilities were closed, even to customers - not able to wash hands and my tea was over the top sweet where I was swishing sugar crystals in my mouth. I'd go again, simply because I love the chain

    It's always a good time for tea! I love Boba tea and this place is the bomb! They have a TON of different flavors, a lot more than most tea shops around here. They didn't have any strawberry when we came in, so that's disappointing. But their Rosehips milk is perfectly sweet and satisfying in this 88 degree weather. Reasonable prices and short wait times- what's there not to love about this place?

    WINTER MELON MILK GREEN TEA *HOT*
    Christine G.

    WARNING The addiction is REAL!!! I looove kung fu tea. I got hooked on this a while ago and crave this often. I love how you can customize your drink down to the sugar and ice levels to make your perfect cup. My go to is the wintermelon milk green tea. I have tried other flavors, taro, green tea, Kung fu milk tea, mango snow, etc however I always keep going back to my fave!! I just recently tried the hot version since it's winter time and loved it. I thought it was a game changer cause the bubbles stay soft longer. If you love bubble tea, be sure to try this spot. If you have never tried bubble tea, give it a try; it's soo good!!

    COCONUT MILK TEA with tapioca & nata jelly
    Kathryn M.

    This was my first time here at this location. It was a Saturday afternoon. Mask required. No dine-in. Only one other person in line. I ordered a coconut milk tea with tapioca and nata fruit pearls. It was delicious! I love all their drinks I've ever had from KFT! Genius for putting one in Ghent!! Woo-hoo!!

    Honey Lemonade with Aloe Jelly. (Perfect for my cold.)
    Jordan B.

    Putting a Kung Fu Tea in Ghent was a godsend! This is the perfect pick me up drink place after a hard day's work. I have never came in and gotten a drink that I didn't like. The staff is always very friendly and have the perfect drink recommendations whenever I tell them how I'm feeling and what I'm in the mood for; they have never steered me wrong. During my most recent visit, Mya, who was mad helpful put me onto my new favorite drink, their Oreo Slush with extra crushed Oreos at the bottom. It's between the consistency of a milkshake and a smoothie and I've never quite had a drink like it before anywhere else. It's SO good. Overall, I love everything about this location and I'm so happy it exists.

    I've only been to the Ghent location once, and haven't been able to visit their VB location. But based on the my lone experience Kung Fu Tea is an awesome place. I arrived on a Sunday night and there weren't many people there. I didn't wait long after I decided on my order, and I was in an out within 4 minutes. There were 2 people behind the counter - one person taking orders and the second one making the orders. They both rocked it out and were friendly. I don't get out to Ghent as much as I used to, and when I am in the area it's always after 10p, so I likely won't get out to Kung Fu Tea much. But for the money, their drinks are quality. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a refreshing drink and is in the area and/or willing to hit up Ghent. JV

    KFT never disappoint! This location in Norfolk is so different from Va Beach. The atmosphere and customers speaks for itself. The Norfolk is more of a chill spot, a place you can have business meetings, and just take it easy. The drinks are equally good as the VB location since you will see familiar faces from VB working in Norfolk, so the drinks are perfected to your liking as usual. A great addition to the area!

    For my very first visit at Kung Fu Tea, we decided to go to their Norfolk location. We've heard many good things about Kung Fu Tea so we finally give it a try. We wanted to go to their VA Beach location, but we figured that this Norfolk location is closer to us. We were fascinated on the restaurant's ambiance because it is bright and spacious. Walking inside the restaurant gives it's customers a "coffee shop" feeing. It makes us wants to sit down and stay there while we enjoy our drinks. The staff were very helpful and patient especially with me. I am not a big fan of milk teas so I normally get the "Winter-melon" tea. And lately, I have been having a hard time finding a good boba place that has just good winter-melon tea. With our servers help, she told me that I need to order just the plain winter-melon, no green tea or milk. I was really happy with her suggestion. There was also a little mishap about our order, but she fixed it right away. My winter-melon tea taste really great. The only problem I have is that they need to start serving small appetizers like popcorn chicken. I feel so full just by drinking so I feel like it would be nice to be eating while drinking tea as well. Overall, we are very impressed with our visit at Kung Fu Tea. They just need to add appetizers on their menu, but other than that we will definitely come back to visit.

    The drinks are more milk than taste. I am very picky when it comes to boba and it makes me sad that the boba here isn't that good.

    Updating my previous review bc I just had a really bad experience here…read more I ordered my usual - the Green Cheesecake Smoothie. Had my daughter so had to run right outside to my car for her milk and came back to wait. Saw the owner giving the pineapple on a stick to the two girls in front of me with their smoothies. Two people walked up and were standing in line and she gave them two while they looked. When my smoothie came up, no pineapple. I asked the male behind the counter and he was extremely rude to me and said they're $1.78 each and I said "Oh, I thought you gave them with the smoothies" pointing to the two people IN LINE who had not ordered yet. He was really rude and almost aggressive about it and said "NO - $1.78". I've never had this experience here. I've ordered dozens of smoothies here and this is a first. They're $12 a smoothie so - probably going to skip it since I felt singled out and when I innocently asked about it I got my head bit off. No thanks.

It's kind of off by itself in the mall, I almost didn't even see the place, but it's a quiet little area and the staff are friendly. They have a lot of options so it was actually a little hard for me to choose just one thing. I decided to try the Oreo smoothie (10/10) it was really delicious and yummy. There also wasn't too long of a wait time either for my drink which was nice. They also give customers pineapple on a stick with your order; however, I can't eat pineapple so I couldn't have mine :( Def going to return because there were so many other drinks that sounded delicious that I want to try. I also noticed what looked like food options on the menu as well so I'll check those out in the future too. My overall rate of experience : 10/10

The online ordering system isn't great (see below), however, I eventually found what I was looking for and called to adjust the pick up time. Since the large wasn't available, I chose regular for one bowl and mega for the other. I also paid for extra granola for both. Although the toppings look skimpy, we were pleasantly surprised to find the extra granola at the bottom of the regular bowl. Then the mega bowl was basically a double decker acai bowl. Acai on the bottom with selected toppings then more acai resting under another layer of the selected toppings. It's definitely worth it to get the mega bowl. They also make good smoothies and use compostable materials. Our orders have been accurate and filling. Plus the employees are friendly. Issues with the online ordering: -I couldn't adjust the pick-up time. Even though they were open for another 5 hours, the only option for pick up was next day at 9:30 am. I called after placing the order and they said they could make the order right away. -large perfect bowl is not an option (all other sizes were available) -special bowl options are confusing. No option for granola but there is an option for extra granola. No description for what it contains yet you can remove items. -many of the items do not have descriptions, luckily I had been here before so I knew what the perfect bowl entailed
