    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    Ordering kiosk

    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
    Rose S.

    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!

    Interior

    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.

    Absolutely love!!! The drinks are delish and staff is super friendly! Can't wait to visit more this summer!

    Mango slush
    Aminah K.

    Best bubble tea in the metro Detroit area! My go to is the mango slush. It has a great fruity flavor with mango lychee and black bubbles. I like how you can adjust the sweetness level. The interior is nice with lot of tables and board games you can play. Also I recommend getting their app to get rewards and $ off your purchase.

    The staff didn't know what they were doing I usually go to playa once a week just not this location…read moreusually and they literally put in basically 2 scoops (yes it looked like ice cream scoops) of the açaí and pitaya. When I complained because my bowl wasn't filled all the way they "fixed it" by just slapping some more açaí and pitaya. Just go to another playa location not worth it. I got really bad stomach ache and I usually don't ever from playa when I eat there but from this one I did. Like honestly a bowl doesn't have to be picture perfect I get also all my fruit got covered by the slapped in açaí and pitaya but it's there. I forgot to get a picture of what it looked like before but it looked the equivalent of just under 1/2 eaten. Just go to Rochester or Bloomfield I've never had issues like that before at either of those places even when those places are slammed.
