    Woah, for once an actually legitimately good Kung Fu Tea franchise post-Covid. I had almost written off this chain but decided give this location another try for the St. Patrick's Day special. I actually have in my history that I visited here on three separate occasions, once in 2019 (pre-pandemic), and twice in 2020 (post-pandemic), with some scathing notes stating that the boba was rock hard all three times and giving the place a tentative 1/5 score. I remember back on my very first visit the place was completely full with customers sipping on drinks and hanging out in store. If I remember correctly, this was the only second wave-type chain boba shop in the entirety of Metro Detroit at that point in time, so it kind of made sense. For my most recent visit over the weekend, this Kung Fu Tea location, now with way more competition, seems to be primarily a takeout shop. I ordered via the app, expecting that the drink would be ready by the time I reached the store. When I got there, I found out that apparently at this store you still have to notify them before they start making the drinks. It only adds an additional 5 minutes or so, so it's not really an issue. Regular Pistachio Almond Slush ($5.95) - We just got this to try it out since I had to buy two drinks for the deal. The strong artificial almond flavor really punches you in the face, while the pistachio quietly dances in the background. Otherwise, it's a pretty normal slush texture. The sweetness is on point at 100%. I personally wouldn't get this again because there are other drinks I prefer, but I think it's a perfectly drinkable cold treat. (3/5) Regular Matcha Milk Strike, Large, 50% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Brown Sugar Wow Boba ($7.40) - I originally ordered the sesame matcha, but the store was out of sesame mix so I had to change it to the normal matcha. The matcha here has the distinctive kind of grassy and earthy flavor of a culinary matcha, which is appreciated given that some other places use an almost flavorless green powder in their matcha drinks. The drink feels thick and creamy even though there's no milk cap on it. Again the sweetness is perfect at 50% (I'm surprised that the app didn't allow me to adjust from 100%, but I asked the owner to tone it down the 50%). The boba, which is very inconsistent between locations, is actually pretty good here. It's soaked in a brown sugar syrup, giving it the characteristic brown sugar taste, and allowing the exterior to generate a bit of a sticky texture. The chew is just a bit too hard, but overall it's the best I've had from KFT since the pandemic began. (4/5) Bathrooms - One unisex, pretty spacious, bathroom in the back. This was the only good experience I've had at a KFT since 2019. To be honest, I don't think I would go here again, but that's because there are other newer boba shops in the area I prefer. It's still a solid, albeit not outstanding, shop to visit to quench any boba craving.

    I'm so glad I found this place. I'm a huge milk tea with boba fan and I really miss all the shops back in California. Upon entering the place is cute with plenty of tables to sit and relax. There is a huge menu available upon entering the shop. There are so many different options you can pick and choose from. Overall, the shop was clean and inviting. I decided to try the WOW Oreo per the cashier's recommendation since I can't have caffeine while I'm pregnant. There was a huge order ahead of mine and I thought I was going to be waiting for my one drink for a little while they accommodate the large order, but I was wrong. We probably waited no less than 5 minutes until my number was called to pick up. I could feel the warm dark sugary boba at the bottom of the cup. It was so good. I love that the chunks of Oreo weren't too big that couldn't get through the straw. Bonus for me at least, the milk wasn't too sweet which was perfect because the brown sugar boba was incredibly sweet already. The boba was cooked perfectly, not too chewy, or undercooked. I can't wait to go back and order more from their menu. The options are endless.

    This Kung Fu Tea is one of the better locations out there. They are consistent, friendly, and their mobile orders are always ready on time! I definitely recommend using their app for rewards. It's also easy to use and you can view the menu at your own leisure...no more panic ordering at the counter. My new favorite is their Black Tea Wow Milk Cap (earl grey black tea with brown sugar bubbles and a creamy milk cap) - medium for $5.17

    Great spot for boba! I visited Kung Fu Tea several times during my stay in Sterling Heights. The drinks were ready in less than 10 minutes of ordering, and so far all the ones I've had here tasted great! Kung Fu has a vast selection of drinks. I mainly order the Thai Tea but most recently, I tried the Longan Jujube Tea. It was flavorful!

    First time ordering online. I was able to walk-in and pickup my order early. They wore masks and hand sanitizer was available on the counter. It was a great experience as the staff were friendly and patient in answering questions about the different menu items. I ordered a large original Kung Fu tea with Boba, 70% sugar, & light ice. Totaled about $6.36. It was refreshing on a hot sunny day! Thanks Kung Fu Tea!

    Time for some kung fu passion fruit slushy, medium, added bubbles and mango popping bubbles. It's busy here. It's next to the Korean Chung Ki Wa. These places do well next to Asian restaurants it seems. Thirsty after a MSG heavy Sichuan meal at Trizest. They have these shaking machines do all of the work and shake up the drinks thoroughly. They have a deal today, if you buy two, get 1 for free, but download the app. It's pretty good and the bubbles are soft and chewy, just the way they should be. It's arctic cold and refreshing too. They have these fun and cozy hammock chairs, 3 of them. 2 chairs by the front door and lots of seating and tables. A long felt backed bench along the wall. I like the bright red wall, it's perfect color and goes well with the kung fu tea theme.

    Great milk tea in my book. Sundays are super busy but you have the option to order from the kiosk if you don't want to wait in the line (card only). Variety of different customizable drink combinations. They serve food too , which I have yet to try.

    This is by far the best bubble tea I've had. As always, I test it out by ordering Taro and Thai tea. It tasted amazing; fresh and full of flavor. I really only like the tapioca boba so I got them both with that and the regular amount of sweetness. Man this was so good. I hate that it's not very close to me, but I'm signed up for the rewards so I'll have to make my way back here occasionally. If I had to pick a winner, I'm going with Taro all day.

    This joint is instagram famous. Yea, I've seen their chain from the east to the west coast. Trust me, I have friends all over the world. Not just the states. So instead of doing cakes or pastries for desert. We chose these fashionable drinks. I went with the Taro Milk Green Tea + Kung Fu Technique = Awesome! This place isn't just straight up gimmicky. It's got the gusto to back it up too. My beverage was totally mind blasting!! I'd totally order it over and over and over again. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!!

    Best bubble tea in Detroit area beside Tao & Mai. The place is clean and comfortable. Many selection of flavor and they also serve macaroons. I only had the normal milk tea with aloe jelly. It's not just sugar and milk, you actually can taste the tea in it. Tao& Mai has stronger tea flavor but whatever, this is Detroit. It is not too sweet either. I also try the macaroons, I don't know if they are handmade or not, probably not. $2.50 a piece but they do have extra creme than regular. The green one I got starting to get dry already so it may not be as fresh as a bakery. So it's up to you. Key thing is their milk tea is good

    Lychee jasmine green tea with lychee jellies and boba

    LOVE Kung Fu Tea. If you're looking for variety in tea combination and jelly/boba combinations, this is your place. One of my coworkers comes by here almost every day and he's always raving about this place. So I knew i had to come try it out. I ordered the lychee jasmine green tea which comes with lychee jellies. It was absolutely delicious. The second trip I tried the mango jasmine green tea with mango jellies and it was even better! This place has been packed both times I've came and I can see why. It's hip, got a good vibe and the drinks are delish!

    Thai tea and mango green tea. Both were tea strong because we got it 50%sweet

    Overwhelming amount of choices for the bubble tea lover. Great space to meet some friends or to get some studying done. It can be a little loud though- bring some ear plugs if it bothers you. The tea is pretty good - its known to be on the sweet side so a friend told me to get it less sweet. But honestly I would have added a little more to my thai tea. The bubbles were fresh and soft. Would definitely come back again to try another flavor.

    Wow, at last an authentic bubble tea place this side of Michigan! Hidden away in a small strip mall, easy to miss. However it's clear that word had gotten out as a steady flow of customers were coming and going to Kung Fu tea. They have a pretty large menu and plenty of topping choices, including red bean and green bean. Also love that they have seasonal specials. I tried the pumpkin oolong milk tea and it tasted better than I had hoped. The bubbles were sweetened with a fragrant type of honey syrup and nice and chewy. Speed wise they could use some improvement though, as it took over 10 minutes for my one tea, even though there didn't appear to be big orders before me. Price-wise, perhaps because I'm used to Cali prices, $4.25 for a medium bubble tea feels rather pricey. Worth it to splurge for a good tea though.

    The Ottoman Empire Revived: A Remarkable Culinary Experience at Galata Turkish Cuisine & Café…read more For quite some time, I had been driving past Galata Turkish Cuisine & Café, curious about what awaited inside. Having experienced what I considered the finest Turkish kebab in Atlanta, Georgia, I admittedly arrived with high expectations. I left realizing those expectations had not only been met--they had been exceeded. My meal began with a choice of either a soft drink or traditional Turkish tea included with the combination platter. Opting for the tea turned out to be one of the best decisions of the afternoon. Delicate, aromatic, and beautifully balanced, it carried subtle floral notes of lavender that elevated it from a simple beverage to an experience in itself. Every sip was elegant and memorable. For my entrée, I selected the "3 in 1" combination, featuring chicken kebab, steak kebab, and a ground meat kebab. The presentation was exceptional and reflected the care that clearly goes into every dish. Accompanying the kebabs were a beautifully grilled tomato, a serving of what appeared to be seasoned barley, a grilled jalapeño pepper, and a vibrant red onion salad dressed with olive oil, vinegar, and what I believe was sumac, all accented with fresh mint. Each protein was executed flawlessly. The chicken was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, demonstrating a mastery of both cooking technique and spice balance. The ground meat kebab, reminiscent of an exceptional döner preparation, was rich, succulent, and bursting with complex flavors that unfolded beautifully on the palate. The true standout, however, was the steak kebab. If it wasn't filet mignon, it certainly rivaled it in tenderness. Expertly charred on the outside while maintaining a medium-rare interior with a delicate ruby-red center, it delivered everything one could hope for in a premium cut of beef. Each bite was remarkably tender, practically melting in the mouth while offering deep, smoky flavor from the grill. What impressed me most was how every component on the plate contributed to a cohesive dining experience. Nothing felt like an afterthought. From the tea to the garnishes, every detail reflected authenticity, craftsmanship, and pride. I do not offer this praise lightly: this was, without question, the finest meal I have enjoyed in Michigan in at least the last two years. During my visit, I jokingly told the owner that whenever asked what my last meal would be, my answer had always been Eggs Benedict--my longtime favorite dish. After dining at Galata, however, I would have to seriously reconsider that answer. The meal was that good. If you appreciate authentic cuisine, expertly prepared meats, and a dining experience that transports you far beyond your surroundings, Galata Turkish Cuisine & Café deserves a place at the top of your list. This is not merely a restaurant--it is a celebration of Turkish culinary tradition. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

    This Turkish restaurant is truly a wonderful place. They offer an impressive variety of both…read moredesserts and dinner options, and the quality is outstanding. I highly recommend their chicken and beef kebabs -- both were incredibly tender, perfectly seasoned, and full of rich, authentic flavor. The texture and taste were spot‑on. I also treated myself to the famous Turkish dessert katmer served with Maraş ice cream (made from goat milk), and it was absolutely delicious. It's rare to find a place that can deliver such high‑quality, traditional Turkish flavors with this level of authenticity. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and beautifully decorated, making it a great spot for anyone who values both excellent food and a welcoming dining experience. I definitely plan to return with my family. It's a hidden gem, and in my experience -- after trying restaurants across Germany, France, and England -- this place truly meets international quality standards. Definitely a must‑try for anyone who loves great food and genuine Turkish cuisine.
