When you take a sip through the worlds widest straw and something hits the roof or back of your mouth, instinct tells you to cringe. At least mine did. But after careful consideration, I seriously doubted the young lady behind the counter was trying to kill me with a gelatinous fruit ball. I calmed down enough to try and enjoy the drink- and I did. The only thing I can think of that is a similar experience, food-wise, is tapioca pudding. I like tapioca pudding. Great taste, fun little balls made with something I'm not 100% sure of, but not off-putting to me in the slightest bit. But in my drink? Well, my definitive preference heretofore is that my drinks to be liquid only. The tea itself was pleasant, good taste, decently priced and I liked the fact that the cup came with a foil top that prevented any of the little balls or the ice from escaping. Not knowing what they were made of (and having a mind filled with old Monty Python sketches (think of the Crunchy Frog sketch) one can never be too cautious. But as I began to taste the gel "bubbles" and swirl them around (which I saw everyone around me doing as well...so I didn't feel crazy) they added to the tea experience. The menu was large, and since I'm not a regular to Asian food or Asian desserts & flavors, I honestly didn't know many of the flavors they offered. I may need more time and courage before I try a RED BEAN or MUNG BEAN SLUSH, or even a Yogurt Tea of any flavor. It's not out of the question, but one hurdle at a time. I did find out from my daughter that you don't have to get the bubbles in your drink. So the next time I went I got a Chai tea, cold, with NO BUBBLES. I still got the ginormously wide straw to puncture the foil lid with. So that made everything good again. PLUSSES: + Large menu of all kinds of things to drink + Fair pricing + Decent seating and parking + Staff didn't mind my newbie questions and obvious facial expressions + Ginormously wide straws. You could suck a burrito through them, but you'd have to ask yourself why you'd want to. MINUSES: - Maybe a sheet or poster inside for us newbies to explain what it is. Not everyone has the experience of trying these flavors out. I traveled throughout the Far East in the Army but many of these were new to me. The tea was good and the people were friendly. I'm just not a fan of Bubbles (unless we're talking about that time in Myrtle Beach...but that's another story). read more

I consider myself a kung fu tea aficionado, having visited just about every one in nova and many in other areas as well. This place consistently takes much longer than others and seems chaotic. Every time I order more than one drink, I have to wait around 10-15 minutes past when my order is supposed to be ready (I order on the app for the points) for one of my drinks while the others are sitting on the counter. Meanwhile I'm watching them process other orders and see people that have walked in after me receive theirs. Also, their boba often times tastes old and has that over cooked, mealy texture to it. A few months ago I waited 40 minutes for two drinks, only to have mine spill all over me because it wasn't sealed properly. I reached out to customer service for a refund, and was told the store was supposed to reach out to me. When they never did, I pushed for a refund from corporate. I only go here if I'm nowhere near another, but after yet another disappointing experience today (out of a good 15-20 visits, many of them lackluster) I probably won't return. read more

It used to be that Kung Fu Tea was a rare unicorn that you had to hire someone to wait in line for you, purchase extra drinks and hoard them in your fridge until your next trip back. Well, we're living in 2017, and Kung Fu Tea is in every single corner and even moms drink it (I really need to come up with a new reference since I myself am a mom, le sigh). This Kung Fu Tea location does all other Kung Fu Tea locations proud. They are fast, speedy and polite. The shop is clean and they have plenty of seating...but the bestthing is you can go to Chick Fil A across the street, order some waffle fries and a 4 piece chikn strip and pair it with some fresh taro boba afterwards. Now that's what I call a winning fat kid day! read more

I've been watching a lot of British shows on Netflix and those crazy people always drink tea. You can go to someone's house and then offer to make tea...at their house not your house. You can go to their stovetop and just make tea. Anyways speaking of tea, how about Kung Fu Tea...those Teas are fast as lighting...it was a little bit frightening. So the idea here is that you go here for...tea. Not coffee, just tea. Something that I guess isn't super popular to do in "the states". However, tea is better than coffee because it is even better when it is cold, or "iced" as the yanks would say. So they have a lot of weird looking drinks and concoctions that I will never even consider trying. However I will order iced tea, and its good stuff. You pick your tea. Pick your cream. Pick your sugar. and then... She asks me if I want Bubbles...I don't even know what that means. I said, "only if thats a stripper in Vegas". Does the cashier take a straw and blow Bubbles in the tea. Is there some kind of magical bubble machine. Does it carbonate the drink? Is it for look or for taste? What is up! I promptly said no, and then within a minute had my black tea. It was good stuff. They had a few other options I'd try. I'll take tea over coffee any day. My only concern is that I can get my iced tea anywhere, even 7-11 and it is good. There are many more choices here but I dunno. I really have no real reason to stop into a place like this. Maybe I'm missing something. If there was one closer to my house and not in the horrible industrial district of Springfield maybe I'd stop here instead of Dunkin Donuts...but they don't have donuts...hmm. Anyways 4 stars for the idea, for putting Starbucks and coffee drinkers in their place and for having some good iced teas besides "sweet or unsweet". I'll tea up again. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Black Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

This Kung Fu tea chain in Springfield is typical in service and drink quality with other Kung Fu Tea places in the area. When Kung Fu Tea first opened up in the DMV area, the lines were constantly out the door for their drinks. Now that other bubble tea places have popped up in the area, I will still say I enjoy Kung Fu tea for my bubble tea fix. My all-time favorite is still the taro green milk tea. Other notable favorites include the Yakult green tea for something more refreshing or taro slush to cool off during the summertime. All in all, this is a solid place to get some bubble tea! There's a reason why multiple chains have popped up in the DMV area. read more

Always on point...need I say anything else? Order the taro milk green tea with bubbles, honey milk bubble tea, and a sunshine pineapple punch. I forgot to ask for only 50% sweet so mine came out sweeter than I wanted but that was my bad. Still delicious and still drank the whole thing! read more

Kung Fu Tea - Taro milk green tea with bubbles and honey milk bubble tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Yum, love that they have a huge selection & their bubble tea was amazing! We got a black honey tea & strawberry lemonade & both were delish! We went around 9:40 pm just before close and they were pretty busy. read more

so good I would recommend the boba is so good but don't put to much boba or else it will be filled all the way to the top

Bringing it down a notch due to the strange customer service experience. As someone else said, they make a bunch at once and will wait to bring them all out at once. Granted, there was a good amount of people, and I placed a particular order, with less ice, way less sugar. I didn't get a receipt, so I didn't know what number I was, but I knew my drink, so I didn't think much of it. However, when I saw my drink finally ready, I went to grab for it when I was denied. He asked me what number I was, but I had no idea and refused to give it. I had to get the assurance of the girl at the register to finally be able to get my drink. Strange experience, and I think it was absolutely unnecessary, especially as I was in a hurry. read more

Honestly you can't go wrong with KFT. I've been getting the milk green tea with boba, 50% sugar and it's just enough sweet. The boba itself is chewy but with substance, almost al dente. 100% recommend. I'm obsessed tbh. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Cocoa Cream Wow Milk Cap and Milk Green Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Quality is rather standard; same as those drinks you could get from Tysons Corner Mall location. What's really strange about the service at this location is that they seem to prepare about 10-12 drinks from several orders before decided to call out order numbers for pick up, meaning your drink(s) could be there sitting on the pickup counter for 5-10 minutes, but you can't get them. If you ask to get your drinks before they are ready to call out the order numbers, they would give those to you but seem to be upset that you somehow interrupted their routine. I've been to this location about 5 times, and it happened to me every single time. I believe this is a management issue and not a franchise issue. Not recommend this location if you're in a hurry! read more

Typical Kung Fu. Their service is average, at other locations I'm usually greeted by smiles and willingness to explain menu. Whenever i come to this location i get my standard drink instead of something new since they're not very forthcoming with assistance. My suggestions if you're looking for new spot other than kung fu- Kokee tea or TeaDM read more

New boba place that opened in Springfield, and continues to demonstrate why KFT has basically a monopoly over boba drinks in the area. Drinks have a wide range of customization, from toppings to sweetness and even what temperature you want the drink to be. The variety at the shop is also incredible, as you can get anything from milk tea to fruit drinks and even slushes. Another big plus is that they have seasonal special drinks, which help you mix up what you order, rather than getting the same thing each time. The tapioca here is also great (best in the area I have to say), with the perfect amount of bite and chew to it. The only downside I have to say about the place is that drinks can be pricey and the ingredients used to make the fruit drinks are often really sugary and don't taste very fresh. read more

Fast most of the time and no wait. Located across from Wing Stop and Tippy's Taco. They have a lot of parking. I have recently tried their oolong milk and regular milk which are great but I have also had the strawberry lemonade and lychee punch. Try their nata jelly. I usually go to the Annandale one but when I am in this area, I will hit this one up. read more

I really don't know why this store can't substitute green tea with black tea for my passion fruit tea. The manager told me that the franchise doesn't allow it, however the other locations do it for me. It is just plain simple, change the green tea with black tea to make their customer happy. But they don't want to. Kung fu tea is my favorite tea franchise in the area. This location is very close to my place. The service is fast and friendly. My siblings love their teas. We always buy more than 2 drinks every visit. I can't give them 1 stars to be honest. They deserve 5*. I just don't know why this store can't change the tea for me. I didn't really care to write an review, I didn't even want to come in when my siblings want some tea. But they try to ask for my drink and got denied. The owner said the other store is not supposed to do it. Oh well... are the other stores not supposed to care about customers and to do a simple thing to make their customers happy? Maybe. Left the review here and hope for changes. If somebody is listening. Maybe if the others agree with me, this store will improve their 5* service. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Great location. Literally across the street from Taco Bamba in Springfield. A great place to grab something sweet. They offer multiple drink options and the staff is sweet to offer assistance in helping you enhance your drink if you are unfamiliar with their process. I order a medium mango slushie with boba included (no extra charge) and it tasted so fresh. Kung Fu Tea has alot of space for sitting especially if you are waiting for your drink. I would definetly come back and try other drinks. read more

I would give negative stars if I could. I was so disappointed with the product and customer service. We don't usually ask for reduced sugar at this location because they were good at not making the drink too sweet, but tonight our drinks were awfully sweet, like they poured sugar into the drink. When I asked to replace it with less sugar, they refused because we didn't tell them when we ordered and that we already drank some. Duh! How would we know until we tasted it?? They also refused to refund. We threw out the cups still over 3/4 full. I regret tipping them. They just lost a frequent customer with the subpar quality of the product and customer service. They were very rude and disrespectful and were even laughing as we left the store. My tip to customers who will go to this location: ask for reduced sugar, at least you can add sugar when you get home. But also don't expect consistent quality. read more

Ordered my 3 boxes of doughnuts and two gallons of Hot Chocolate for an hour pick up. Called again to make sure the Hot Chocolate was kept warm. Manager lady with accent was rude. Maybe she misunderstood me and though I was canceling order. Picked up my order 135) and our Hot Chocolate--said so on the container labels. But found out they poured coffee instead. The kids were disappointed but there was no time to go exchange it. read more

They have a large menu of boba tea. And a huge supply of boba. We stopped by 1hr before closing on a weeknight and they were still busy!

Headed to the Springfield movie theater to watch a movie, decided to stop by this KFT for a beverage beforehand. It's sort of near the mall, but not. The shopping center seems old. Inside though, the interior is nicely decorated. There was amusing mugs and trinkets on the wall. I ordered a large green milk tea with half sugar, less ice, and bubbles. As usual, my drink was delicious. I hope this location succeeds, since of all of the KFT in the area thus far, this seems to be in the least visible location. read more

I liked the boba. This is more like four point five stars. I came here with a friend for dessert drink. I got the passion fruit boba and it was good.I like that you can change the sugar level and the amount of ice.So you do have some control over how unhealthy you want to be! The line was out of the door but it moves quickly. The place was clean and they have free WiFi. They have nice service at the counter.my only negative would the size was quite small for what you get. Overall I'm happy to come back to any of their sites. read more

Ultra sweet drinks but they're pretty delicious. Tried the raro slush and the passion fruit green tea. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Simply tasty - Bubble Tea Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Love the fact that there is a Kung Fu Tea in Springfield, minutes from my house. No longer having to drive to the Annandale location and having to wait in the long wrapped around lines and high noise levels. What I like about KFT is having the ability to adjust the sugar level in the KF Milk Tea because when the boba is added, the boba is already drenched in frutose and adds a ton of sweetness to the drink. Caution, if you're using the drink holster, the drinks can still fall out. Milk tea on alcantara seats, not cool. read more

You wouldn't believe the happy dance I did once this location just opened a short distance from my house. No more trekking to Annandale! The best part is this location is nicer in my opinion. The inside is spacious with seating and seasonal decorations. I've been several times and the lines are so much shorter than other locations on weekends and Friday nights (so far). Ordering was fast and easy and I learned you can adjust sweetness and ice amount which other kft locations have never offered to do during ordering process. Cashiers were friendly. Drinks came out fast and tasted great! read more

Super fast and friendly staff. But there is often a line. Think of this as a bubble tea sort of a Starbucks chain. Surprised to find this in the neighborhood. Generous with the tapioca balls, but limited in flavors. If you are expecting the usual fruity bubble tea choices ~ it's not quite the same. It's more of a milk tea place and that is what they do best. Don't expect the same variety or fruit flavors as a bubble tea house. Try the exotic sounding flavors like taro and red bean you won't be disappointed. Well, that's if you're into milk teas. But that's why you came here~ right? And the staff are working as fast as they can, it's just a time consuming treat and worth the wait. Like I said like Starbucks ~ either you want it and will wait in a line or you won't bother. Given that there aren't a lot of bubble tea houses in the area, your choices are limited. read more

Reliable bubble tea service. This is a great location in Springfield - plenty of parking and no long lines. Staff has always been friendly and efficient. I typically go with less sugar, less ice with my drinks. The Kung Fu Tea app is convenient, just scan and it instantly charges; you also build up reward points that go towards free drinks. The setup is cool with various tables as well as stools. They even have some board games that you can play if you're there with a group. All in all - convenient location and reliable drinks. Can't go wrong with that! read more

Tonight is my 3-4th time visiting this place. I normally go to Annandale because it's close by my place, and barely have any problem with the drinks. However, I've been unhappy with Springfield store the last few times. In the past two visits, my orders were either written down incorrectly, not wiped out after being made, or not offered a trade to hold although I had 4-5 drinks, lid was not closed tight for a hot drink. I let them go by because they were not big deals at all. I wouldn't write this review if my almond milk tea tasted good. At first, my order was forgotten due to some big orders right after me, and when I finally asked about it, they rushed to make it. I did not drink until getting home 15' later. The drink was still warm, but the almond milk tea was super sweet that seemed to have too much sugar or so. I had to add some water to dilute its sweetness. I don't think I've ever had an almond milk tea made this way. Wouldn't order at this place again. Ref #: order number is 13185393. read more

This place specializes in boba tea. It is a pretty cool place, they do things the right way too with the tea. I really liked to see the shaking machine combine all of the ingredients and then put a seal on the tea. The reason I'm giving them 2 stars is for their ridiculous prices, which will run you anywhere from $6-10 for one of their specialty teas - RIDICULOUS. I can imagine the margins they have are quite hefty, I can make this tea at home for pennies on the dollar. Adjust the prices and it would be 5 stars.... read more

I've been to multiple KFT locations but this is my favorite because it's the least crowded so I can get my drink quickly and find a seat easily. Always clean and great drinks! I wish they offered Thai tea though. This time I ordered the Yogurt Grapefruit with boba which tastes like Yakult + grapefruit flavoring. It's pleasantly sweet and tart. My friend had the Honey Oolong Milk Tea with boba. It was very sweet and tasted strongly of honey, which I liked. read more

I'm a big fan of Kung Fu Tea House, and I am super excited to have one near my house! I love it so much to the point I catered it for my wedding! The staff at this location is very friendly. The store has a good size of seating area. I just wish they open earlier so I can take one to work every morning! read more

Kung Fu Tea - It has holiday feel and a good atmosphere to chat with friends. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

A couple of people I know complained about their boba being too hard or their drinks were off compared to the Annandale location. I waited for this location to work out their kinks as a new business before visiting. Happy to report that my first visit was good. I enjoyed my passion fruit green tea and my husband enjoyed their winter-melon drink. My only negative would be their wi-fi. They had signs up with their password and I couldn't connect to it at all. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

This is the ONLY Kung Fu Tea that has mini bubbles in the Northern VA area... and I AM OBSESSED! There are so many options to choose from and I never know what to get because they are all so good! I come here probably 2-3/week. I get either the honey oolong milk tea with mini bubbles or the yogurt green tea with aloe jelly, both adjusted to 50% sweetened. Their drinks are always well made and customer service is awesome! Kat has served us the many times that I've been there and she's always so helpful! read more

You can never ever go wrong with Asian tea goodness. Coffee Milk Tea w/ Boba was delish with 30% sugar, light ice. Taro Milk Tea w/ Boba is typically my "go to". My cousin is pregnant and is cutting caffeine so she has the Orange Yogurt with 30% sugar and she said it was also yummy! Kung-Fu Tea for the win! read more

Kung Fu Tea offers the type of bubble tea customization I had always dreamt of. Their winter melon tea is BOMB and I love that I can select the sugar and ice levels to my pleasing. Four stars because their Thai tea was not good and their bubbles were too hard when I went last, but otherwise I am almost always happy with my order. The tea flavor always come through which I appreciate; no one likes watered down tea! read more

My first bubble tea experience was with this place. They only do bubble tea, milk tea etc. Always a line.

Order and pick up here frequently. Tea is always great! Order ahead with the app for pickup with no wait.

Line moves quick even during Covid19 quarantine. Everyone has a mask on...don't forget to bring yours.
