I came for the Pokemon x Kung Fu Tea collab because the one near my apartment didn't have it. So cute and the straw caps were adorable. I love this limited time collaboration. Staff was nice and were patient when I wanted to use the rest of my gift card on the app. Shout out to the front worker who was very patient at checkout! The matcha with brown sugar boba was pretty good but not too much matcha flavor. The brown sugar boba is really good (carbs with a molasses sugar sweetness). read more

Kung Fu Tea - Sesame Slush - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

See all

This is the first ever place where I discovered Boba Tea. This had to have been YEARS AGO. It was a Taro Slush with Boba. Man it was good, baristas were nice + cool to chat with, and it was cozy inside to study in when I was a student. Now of course, when it comes to the realm of Boba Tea, I wouldn't choose Kung fu tea first. But this place does hold a special place in my heart. read more

They had 3 guys hustling to make our drinks. The flavors were great. There was a problem with their newer menu items. At least 3 orders passed us before it was ready but it's not a standard item so that might be why. Very clean. Maintained cleanliness and distancing. GIANT bottle of sanitizer for anyone. read more

My milk tea with boba comes out excellent every single time. I treat myself every time I go to the bank. The employees are super nice and helpful! read more

The service and product were both wonderful! I love Boba tea, and I was very happy with my purchase.

For the hot drinks cup - the cover doesn't fit properly. It spills. Hope you can fix it.

Surprised I haven't written a review after all these years, but this has always been my favorite KFT location to visit because the staff are all super nice and friendly. The staff primarily consists of hardworking high schoolers but their customer service is always on par. The store itself is also super clean and they used to have little board games pre-pandemic. Kudos to the manager and owner of this store for always maintaining that positive experience since its opening. read more

Came in on a Friday afternoon and ordered a wintermelon green tea with nata jelly (50% sugar, less ice). It's what I always get but this was more bitter than usual. But the worst part was that I found A THICK CURLY HAIR in the jelly. So grossed out since I didn't see it until I was basically done with my drink. read more

8/19/19 It was a hot followed by a sweat day. I was deeling very miserable, but I knew I would be alright. The water I was drinking was nice, but it was room temperature and did not cool me off. The water was given to me from Madame Puspa. Seeing the Kung Fu Tea shop, I headed over there to see what drink tickled me fancy. I settled on the Passionfruit with mango bubbles. The staff members were cheerful and worked quickly and get me the drink I had bought. Looking around the store, I saw some nice art decorations to make the business feel more comfortable. I really liked the painting of Bruce Lee. The attention to detail was spot on. The purple glass Budda was a nice touch too. I really like the small board games you can play if your just hanging out at the shop and having a good time. I look forward to coming back here the next time I'm around here. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Kicking butt and taking names...8/19/19 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Very unenthusiastic service. The store had things all over the place. Given the reputation of this chain, I tried it out and honestly I have had much better drinks at many Local Bubble tea stores. I have seen the lady mix water in my tea in front of me to fill up the glass. That was just a sad moment because I am Paying money to top off my drink with water? And there is ice in it to its neck already? Anyway! Maybe it's a store thing and should not reflect poorly on the entire chain, but regardless, my first impressions are bad. Definitely did not live up to the hype. **replying to store owner Linda's comment** Hi Linda, it's nice of you to reply in Kind. Really appreciate the ownership you are taking to fix the situation. Thank you for the free drinks, but I will kindly have to say No. I am Willing to come by the store another time when I am in the area, only because you acknowledged and took my feedback in great stride. Thank you! read more

Review #092 - 2018 After having lunch at JINYA, I was craving some KFT so since I had this spot bookmarked--being that it was close enough to my hotel, I decided to head out here. It was a little hard to find since Apple map doesn't give you an exact location. It just tells you that you are there once you reach the parking lot so I had to call and ask them exactly where they were. They're across from the bank and Chick-fil-A. Once we got there, we were able to place our orders right away since everyone else was already done and getting ready to leave. I got two of my usuals, since this would be my last time getting to enjoy their drinks before my next trip to a location that has their franchise within driving distance. The drinks were exactly how they should be made so that definitely made me super happy. Service was quick and good! Sadly, I had to toss more than half of my second drink since I kept it in the fridge and couldn't take it pass TSA check point the next morning. If it wasn't 3:30 AM, I'm sure I would've been able to finish it without any problem. read more

This Kung Fu Tea is a bit different than the other locations I've been to because it has a more Tous Les Jours meets Shilla Bakery feel where you wouldn't want to stay there for too long, but there are games out if you're waiting for your drink or waiting for someone. They got a lot cleaner since the last time I came and got a lot more staff. It's a bit hidden within the shopping plaza, but there's always 2-3 people in there with a drink or waiting for their drink. The last time I came, the tapioca pearls were a bit over cooked, but this time they were fairly undercooked. Both times the tea itself was fine though. Since this location is somewhat new and the staff all seem new (no one was the same between my two visits) I'm hoping they'll perfect their boba cooking skills soon. The staff there are always nice and seem organized so it creates a nice atmosphere along with the games set out. read more

I'm here at least once a week, and they have been pretty consistent with flavor. Sometimes they make my lychee punch a little too sweet that I'm unable to even finish it. The owner lady is extremely nice and friendly every single time! And service is huge for me. Today I tried a new one - lychee black tea - and she offered to make me something else if I didn't like it. I was a little thrown off by the taste at first bc I was expecting something different, but I actually really really like it. It's probably my new favorite one! Another awesome thing about this location is that they leave out board games for you, so when it's a little busy, you have something to do or even if you just want to hang out there. Which I have done on several occasions with my little nephews. read more

The quality of the teas have been very inconsistent as of late. Some days it's amazing, others it's the pits. With other waaaaay better/consistent bubble tea spots popping up in the area, this location really needs to step its game up. It's not a good look coming in here on a weekday because for some reason... there are no lights on. I find that that's typically when the drink turns out the worst. Either the bubbles are not sweetened or the tea is way watered down-- sometimes it's both at the same time. I order oolong milk tea with bubbles, no sugar, and less ice 99% of the time so it's obvious when drinks are subpar. During times like these especially, it's good when businesses are conscious about hygiene. However, this location seems to overdo it sometimes and have an overwhelming smell of bleach/cleaner. Good if you're a clean freak but not good if it's too noticeable, ya dig? Parking is typically available but can be sparse during busy hours being so close to Starbucks, Chase, and Chick-fil-a. read more

I drink bubble tea daily so I'm a black belt. I've tried most things on KFT menu and came to the conclusion that taro and oolong milk tea are the best for my taste. Milk tea is consistent but bubbles can be hit or miss depending on the day...sometimes soft and chewy, sometimes hard. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Oolong milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Wow I got tea here for the first time for me and my daughter and it was absolutely amazing! I got the Thai milk tea with the brown sugar boba and she got the mango smoothie with the mango boba both are incredible!! They were very informative and helped us make a decision as it was our first time and we did not know what to pick so I really love that and they also had a bunch of games to play like Jenga and me and my daughter played connect four while they made out drinks it was definitely a fun environment I will be back very soon!!! read more

great bubble tea! i love the options. i love the flavors. i love the boba consistency. i love the big jugs of milk/non-dairy creamer in the fridge. i got the coffee bubble tea and it was really good. i'd recommend it for people who like iced coffee and boba. everyone else in my party loved their drinks too. i say you can't go too wrong with a chain bubble tea place. read more

Not all franchise locations are the same and this Kung Fu Tea location is a prime example. Simply put, this location of KFT is on a whole different level/stratosphere. Outstanding. Truly, I think their teas taste better than any of the other locations I have visited. Every aspect of my visit (of which there are now many), is always so consistently wonderful and pleasant. For example: I am a creature of habit and usually order the same kind of beverage (Passion Fruit Green Tea) and I really can't explain it other than to say that the flavor seems deeper and richer here than anywhere else. Really, the flavor is out of this world, but only at this location for some reason. Case in point, this past week I went to a KFT in the North Bethesda area, and the tea did not taste nearly the same. Even the bubbles are noticeably superior with an unmatched chewy texture that is both flavorful and fresh. This is not something I can say of the other location where the bubbles were either too soggy or too hard and clumped together. In addition, the staff are always so friendly and kind. In many ways this location has spoiled me and my expectations of good bubble tea. But I absolutely respect and am grateful for the completeness and consistency of the customer care and quality of product that they offer. read more

It was so sad to see this once popping business turn into an empty store. My friend and I went to grab some boba, and we thought it was closed since the music was off and the workers were slumped over on a table. We felt really bad for them, wish covid was just move out of town already. Besides that they were really sweet and put a lot of toppings on. Service was fast, couldn't complain! read more

Solid KFT location! Would give it 5 stars but it's kung fu tea...not exceptional or special boba but definitely not subpar. Workers have always been helpful as well. read more

Whenever I visit a new city or state, there are three things I look for. Boba, pho, and kbbq. Though I didn't try pho or kbbq while I was here, I'm sure dang glad I got to get boba! I think there's a KFT in Seattle which would probably be my closest option (if I really wanted KFT)... anyway, I had to try their original milk tea. If a boba place usually messes up an original milk tea, it's game over for me. KFT does a pretty good job! It wasn't too sweet and the boba was nice and chewy! I just wished I got to try more flavors and see how their green or black teas were. Would definitely recommend and especially if you're from the West Coast and got your boba crave, just know that you would survive with this place while you're in town or if you ever move out here. read more

I'm still not sure how I feel about the name of this chain , but I can't deny the tea is pretty great here. The boba is nice and chewy, and the workers here are courteous and prompt with getting your order ready. read more

So good! I got the Rosehip milk tea with reduced sugar per the recommendation of the cashier, and I really enjoyed it. I've never had milk tea before, but I'd definitely get it again. My girls got mango snows (basically a smoothie) that were some of the best I've ever tasted, and my son got a strawberry lemonade with bubbles. I don't care for bubbles, but the lemonade was delicious. We came around 4 pm, and there were only a few people there, but within 10 minutes the place was packed! Good drinks, nice staff, very clean; we'll be back! read more

This Kung fu tea does cocoa cream wow THE best. Everything is well balanced and you can taste the brown sugar on the boba. The employees are also very friendly and service is quick. They also have games for people to play in the nice, clean, and trendy store. read more

First of all, I just want to say that I really love Kung Fu Tea and when I saw that there was one in Sterling I was ecstatic. It was my first time visiting this place and I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately, my visit was not the best. I came by around 7 pm when the store was completely empty with a few friends and I was not greeted by the staff. They were quite rude when we walked in and made my visit unpleasant. The tea tasted fine but unfortunately, I will not be coming back again because the atmosphere was unbearable. It shouldn't be that hard to be respectful and friendly to your customers. read more

Update: The owner reached out and apologized for the issue and offered to honor the deal. I didn't take them up on their offer, but they recognized me the next time I went and said they were sorry about the issue and gave me a discount. I appreciated them going above and beyond to fix the issue. I have to say I am a bit disappointed. I come to this location frequently (atleast once a week). Today was the BOGO offer and the staff was not accommodating at all. The offer was not working and I thought the cashier would honor the offer but she didn't. I was hoping for better customer service. read more

Being that this location is the closest one to me, I'll be biased here and say that it's extremely convenient and provides a product consistent with all the other KFT locations you'll visit. Also seems like they've gotten over the Grand Opening hump and now have staff trained up to deliver to demand. I typically get a Milk Green Tea with bubbles, less sugar, less ice. Everything tastes as expected (very good), so don't have much more to report there. read more

I lost 10 lbs before moving back here to make room for oolong milk tea with honey boba 30% sweet less ice, yes that's my order.

Worst store ever. Ordered $25 drinks and paid for it through app. Apparently they did not receive it so unable to make it. They will not refund my money. HORRIBLE PLACE STAY AWAY FROM THERE read more

Nice place. Ample parking spot. Staff were friendly. TARO MILK TEA! I just love everything bout TARO! This is my 2nd time coming here. Orders taste exactly the same. Some places taste differently everytime i go. But this place is consistant. Keep up the good job read more

Orders from this location using the app every week during this summer. They FORGOT to add the topping AGAIN today. Tried to call the number many times. Nobody answers. Please improve the service!!! read more

Better than Dulles Town Center and Reston if you're in those areas. This is the only KFT I'll go to aside from Centerville, Annandale, and Rockville. They're very consistent and I don't have to guess if the quality of my drink will change when I go. They also make some really good topping suggestions with drinks. read more

Our family lives within walking distance of Kung Fu Tea, but didn't notice it was there until just this week, and unfortunately we missed the Grand Opening. We hope that Kung Fu Tea is able to get signage near Rt 7 so that it'll be obvious from the highway rather than tucked away in the plaza behind the diner and bank. Usually we visit Dranesville Community Plaza to eat at Chick-Fil-A, to get groceries from Shoppers, to visit PNC bank or Wells Fargo, and to see the latest games at GameStop. Thankfully Kung Fu Tea is opposite of Chick-Fil-A, so it should get some visibility and traffic. CFA is always popular with the Dominion High School students, parents, and working families. To be honest, that's how we found Kung Fu Tea ourselves! On our first visit, we both got Milk Tea with Boba, and got to watch Deathnote (anime) on their walled television. The staff was extremely friendly, efficient, and the Milk Tea with Boba was seriously delish! Having tried boba tea from several other restaurants in Sterling and Dulles, we honestly enjoyed the flavor and tapioca pearls (boba) from Kung Fu Tea the most. We will most certainly be back, and we hope to become regulars of Kung Fu Tea. It's well worth the visit, and we'd recommend Kung Fu Tea to others! read more

This has become a biweekly stop for all my friends and I for multiple reasons: 1) the bubble tea is amazing, 2) the family that runs it is SO KIND, definitely a reason to keep coming back and 3) they just got cards and board games so now we go to hang out. Highly recommend going with some friends or for a quick break during the day. read more
