Been here a handful of times and it's always good. I love that they have my favorite honeydew milk tea and my kid's favorite, mango milk tea. We don't love the tapioca balls in general and usually opt for the lychee jelly. I like that you can conveniently order on the app in advance and have it waiting for you to pickup. It's always been ready; no wait. In the app it is also easy to customize and choose sweetness level and ice cube amount. They even run deals like buy a drink on national boba day and get 1 free the next week. My other kid has found they like the strawberry milk slush and now it's their go-to. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Milk Green Tea with lychee jelly - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Syracuse, New York

This place should be 5 stars instead of 4. Although it is WAY too much money to order for you to get it at your house. Me and my friend got 2 large strawberrie milk teas with strawberrie popping bubbles, and it was 28 dollars! WAY too much, it's about 15 dollars for 2 if you just go to the mall and get some there. One guy that even works there agrees that it's way too much! He said he works there but just hates going there to get some so he orders and HE says it's way too much. But authough it's VERY expensive, it's the best drink I've ever had. TOTALLY recommend. read more

Great drinks and food i know my fair share of boba to you and slushies let me tell you I've almost never had better amazing I think it was great service was good nothing wrong with it I would totally recommend it. read more

The ladies were very patient and helpful as I tried to figure out what to order. I ended up with Winter Melon Tea with Mango Jelly. It was a bit too sweet, but that's ok because you can choose your sweetness level. Next time I'll know to ask for "less sweet" My only complaint was that even though they had about 5 different teas, they wouldn't really let me customize the flavor because it wasn't a choice on the menu. I'll still go back because they have a great selection of beverages. read more

Kung Fu Tea is a franchised brand with plenty of locations around the US - as well as locations in Australia, Canada, and Vietnam. Admittedly, I'm usually a bit of a snob about chain locations, but the Kung Fu Tea location in Destiny USA is pretty top notch for a chain location. Kung Fu Tea isn't some artisan bubble tea place, so it's good to keep your expectations in check... but their teas are tasty AND you can customize your bubble tea for your tastes (plus, they have special flavors during various seasons). Some places make bubble teas that are way too sweet for me, for example, or they fill them up with ice and leave minimal room for actual tea and boba. Kung Fu Tea's ordering process allows you to customize for those tastes... and I always get my tea orders with less sugar and less ice. Every time I've ordered tea from this location, the taste is just what I'm looking for. Also, this location specifically is exceedingly quick at filling drink orders (which, considering there's a sizable line pretty much 9 times out of 10? The prompt service definitely helps) AND the prices are reasonable. TL;DR Dependable stop for bubble tea, especially when wandering through Destiny USA for some shopping. My tea orders have always tasted as expected, and the service is VERY quick. read more

This is by far my favorite boba place in the area. I have ordered multiple different drinks here with my boyfriend and we have never disliked one. They always get the drinks just right which isn't always common at boba shops. My favorite is the matcha red bean slushy with extra boba and my boyfriend loves the oolong tea with boba (which I also thought was really good). The drinks can be a little on the pricey side so if you're looking for a budget boba shop this might not be the one for you. read more

Located on the second floor of Destiny USA close to Michael's craft supply store, this bubble tea joint was a must visit over my labor day weekend. All summer I've been getting acquainted with the deliciously sweet, milky and bubbly concoctions but they always been from large franchises. Unfortunately I have not tried these in Asia and can't tell if it's the "real deal", but Kung Fu Tea looked successful judging by the amount of people waiting in line. I got the honey milk tea with pearls and my partner got the coffee milk tea. Service was speedy, drinks were made to our specifications however what disappointed me the most was the lack of flavored milk tea options. Compared to other places, Kung Fu does not offer many fruity variety of their milk teas. I was hoping for exotic flavors like mango or lychee but the menu is limited. I also thought that they were not very generous with the amount of bubbles scooped into my tea and these pearls were too soft. I understand there are cooked in batches throughout the day so it could just be a fluke. It should be noted that all their milk teas are made with non-dairy milk so this can be a plus for anyone with diet restrictions. If I was local I would definitely come back and try more options- for anyone considering bubble tea, or just iced tea, I say give it a shot, it's a fun treat but be careful it can get addicting! If you come often, get their mobile rewards app. Sign up for a free drink on your birthday and earn points to redeem towards free beverages. read more

I've never had a drink with bubbles before so I tried it for the first time & I actually liked it. I ordered the taro mik tea drink and it was pretty tasty. I recommend this drink if it's your first time here. I also tried my daughter's drink which was the taro slush drink with bubbles but that was way too sweet. I think I would have to ask for half sweet next time. Overall, I was pleased with my drink & the workers were fast & efficient. I will definitely be back. read more

So I decided to come back and try again! I got the rosehip milk tea, which is my favorite, and it was delicious. I tried to order with less sugar but it wasn't an option so I got regular. Still too much sugar for a bubble tea, overly sweetened. But it was delicious nonetheless. I'd suggest creating more options in terms of how much sugar to add, because other locations have options like more or less sugar. Also could've added more Boba, considering I got a large and there was a tiny bit of Boba read more

If it were owned by cows, and was a manure processing plant, it'd be Dung Fu Tea. But if that were the case, I think it'd be pretty gross - like, almost as gross as swimming in the Onondaga Lake without a radiation suit on. OK, not almost as gross as that. But anyway. Let's mooooooove right along with this review. What to get: Lemon Black Tea With Tapioca! Or in winter: Any of the hot milk teas! Which milk teas are best: Honey Oolong! Oolong! Maybe Taro or Almond! Generally speaking, Kung Fu Tea scores 5, but it's usually a low 5, considering that it's a massive international corporate chain, whose milk teas don't match up to the best chains: Sharetea, Gong Cha and Coco. However, they're still really good, and the fruit teas here are among the best. Especially the lemon black tea which absolutely rocks my world. The Milk Teas that do stand alongside any of the best chains, though, are the Honey Oolong and the Oolong. The Honey Milk Tea is pretty good too. But always get Black Teas, not Green Teas. They're just better. In my opinion anyway. And getting these teas hot can really change the game on a winter's day. It makes the tapioca balls hot too. The Honey Oolong in particular is sensational when hot. This particular location, hidden deep inside the former Carousel Mall (now known as Destiny USA which sounds like a stripper), has really wonderful service - and fast as well, which makes a change from the slow locations in Buffalo and Cleveland. I also noticed that all of the employees are exceptionally tall. Maybe that's what happens to you when you eat lots of tapioca? (Eats More Tapioca) My lemon teas here were lovely (twice) and next time I'm in SYR I'll stop by and give one of their hot (if winter) or cold (if not) milk teas a try. Anyway let's get some food to go with our Bubble Teas. I'm feeling kung-ry. read more

I drive 40 minutes just to get my drinks from here. I LOVE THEM. I 100% recommend people try these drinks.

I did not expect to walk by a place like Kung Fu Tea while walking around the Destiny USA mall but I'm sure glad i did! Bubble tea is huge in Toronto and I visit places like this regularly to quench my thirst, however it's not something you see very often in Western New York so I was super duper excited to try this place out. The line was pretty long on Sunday due to people who were visiting the Salt City Comic-Con (I was not one of them) coming for tea. I was extremely thirsty from spending the last few hours out in the heat walking around the zoo so I decided to get a passion fruit slush which is something I had not had in the past. The drinks only took a few minutes to come out and from there it was love at first sip. The passion fruit slush had so much delicious fruity flavour that it made me rather irritated that i had to actually wait for some of it to melt because it was, well, slush. Usually when I'm at a bubble tea place I look for the chocolate option but this place taught me to be an adult and definitely go with something fruity! Overall, Kung Fu Tea is a fantastic addition to the Destiny USA mall! I highly recommend giving this place a try and experience the craze that will hopefully be sweeping the state soon enough! read more

Kung Fu Tea - PASSION FRUIT - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Syracuse, New York

I'm so excited that more bubble tea has come to the Syracuse area! if you've never had it before, now is the time to try! KFT is a popular bubble tea chain with many bubble tea options in terms of flavors, teas, sugar customizations, types and more! From the classics (plain milk black or green tea) to interesting slushes or other flavors (saw something about oreo) you are sure to find something you like here! The tapioca bubbles are excellent here and are quite sweet, so if you aren't sweet tooth, consider getting 70% or 50% sugar - and it will still be sweet. Of note, bubbles are $0.50 extra, and the smallest size is a "medium" - their bubble tea is a little bit pricey so be prepared to spend somewhere near $4 minimum on your drink The cafe is cute, clean, and modern. Service is friendly but a little slow as they're just getting started. I think eventually they'll be a fast and efficient well oiled machine that you find in their cafes elsewhere :) read more

Love Kung Fu Tea! I can't come to the mall without stopping here for some boba. Hands down the best boba in Syracuse. I really enjoy the oolong milk tea and the Kung fu milk tea! The passion fruit green tea is also good as well as the blended mocha or blended matcha. But I'm pretty sure every drink they have is amazing. The boba is consistently soft and sweet with the perfect chewiness. read more

Was surprised to see KF in Syracuse, but was happy to find it. We walked up and there was line out the door... about 10 people ahead of us, but the line moves quickly - I think we waited total of around 8 minutes to place our order. The great thing about ordering, you control what you want - everything from ice to sugar level, etc. I went with Ice KF Milk Tea with 1/2 sugar and mango jelly. I wish I ordered five of them :) The whole thing disappeared too quickly. If you are at the mall, grab a drink as you walk from one location to other. I would recommend the Mango Jelly! read more

In 2009, Michael, Allen and Ray were walking around Flushing, Queens. They had just returned from a trip to Taiwan and were looking for their favorite childhood drink: bubble tea. After some searching, they found a tea place, ordered, and sat down to discuss some of their new business ideas. Meanwhile, they sipped at their teas and immediately put their drinks down. They found themselves disappointed, as this was not the bubble tea they had come to love in Taiwan. It was a mediocre knockoff at best. As they looked around they saw a long line full of thirsty customers. They looked up at each other, that's when Michael, Allen and Ray realized that they had just found their new business venture. Now, I love me some bubble tea. It is starting to become popular here in CNY, but for a while, it was hard to find, so I was excited that an easily accessible bubble tea place was coming to Syracuse when I heard about Kung Fu Tea. I have since been several times, and there are things I like and things I don't. Their bubbles are always perfectly cooked, their service is friendly and fast, and they have plenty of flavors to choose from. Their prices are comparable to similar bubble tea spots as well. Now, I'm usually a fan more of juice tea without milk in them, so that's what I generally order. I have tried several flavors and feel I take my tea pretty sweet, but every flavor I've tried from KFT has been overly sweet. While I want my tea sweet, I also want there to be a balance, and I never feel like I get any sort of tea flavor at KFT. I'm also not a big fan of the fact that there's always tiny bits of fruit in their juice options. Overall, KFT will satisfy my craving for bubble tea if I happen to be at the mall, but they are not my first choice in the Syracuse area. read more

I ordered "green tea with milk" and the front desk gave me non-dietary creamer which contains no milk. When I pointed this out, they asked me to buy another one and told me all the bubble tea shop in the states sell "non-dietary creamer" when they say "milk tea". I refused to buy another one because I ordered "milk" in the first place. Moreover, in China, almost all the milk in milk tea actually can be replaced with real MILK. I don't drink non-dietary creamer personally and was told non-dietary creamer is bad for health in high school from my friend, so I put that so-called "milk tea" back. I'm sorry if I'm being a Karen. Just wondering if all natives actually love non-dietary creamer read more

No bathroom, i guess maybe not necessary since it's inside the mall. The easiest way to find this is going to dicks sporting goods, it's across from it. Has seating inside. Accepts cards, no minimum purchase required. The fastest and most efficient kung fu tea i have been to. Knocked down a star because it is inside the mall, not the easiest to get to since destiny place is hard to find parking. Also located on a second floor. Would not recommend coming here to study, not conducive for that. Not sure if this place has wifi, but most kung fu tea does. read more

I love it here. I first got bubble tea in Philly YEARS ago in Chinatown. This is very similar, but with many more options. It's in a good location in the mall. There are old school board games to play while you hang out with friends. It is pretty small, but the chairs outside the establishment are super convenient. read more

It seems everyday Syracuse is getting more amazing! I cant believe that we have a KFT now! I love bubble tea so much that I drink it religiously. Every time I go to NYC I have quite a few favorite bubble tea places that I frequent. One of those places is Kung Fu Tea...and now we freaking have one! I have already came here 5 times since they have been open and I have no shame admitting that to you all! KFT is a popular bubble tea chain that has a ton of different bubble tea options! I am positive if you go there you will find something you like. Are you a bit overwhelmed by all the choices of deliciousness they have? No worries at all! They have a top flavors chart right on the wall that will guide your way. I personally love the passion fruit green tea with boba. it is the perfect balance of sweet and the texture of the boba is exactly right! There are all kinds of sweet, creamy, and smoothie flavors that you can choose from. If you are the type of person with a super sweet tooth you can add some extra sweet. If you are a person who doesn't like it too sweet you can go all the way down to 25% sweet. My wife gets 50% herself. They are a tad pricy when it comes to bubble tea. Probably 1$ over the average. The flavor is more than worth it though. read more

Their bubble tea was okay and nothing special. The reason I gave 2 stars because of their service. I asked the staff before ordering about the difference between matcha milk and matcha milk cap, and he said "it's the same". I asked "so the milk are the same and no additional ingredients in it?" and he said yes. So I ordered matcha milk cap and bubble honey milk tea. The drinks came and I tried them. The bubble honey milk tea was okay. I've had it better somewhere else. The worst one is matcha milk cap. It tasted nasty and salty. I asked why it tasted salty and the staff said "its milk cap what you ordered" and I said "is there additional ingredients in it?" and she said "yes cream, cheese, salt". Then I said "but the staff who took my order said no additional ingredients between matcha milk and matcha milk cap before I order". The staff said that I should already know before ordering. I was like shocked and in my head was like did you listen what I said? I didn't want to argue because its useless. They just don't care because they already got my money. The line wasn't long on that day. Only two people were line behind me. I ended up threw my matcha milk cap because it taste not good at all. The staff should give better service. If customer asked about your menu then you should be able to explain it well. What if I allergic to cheese and because you don't explain it well I ended up getting it and something worst could happen. read more

Pros: This is a chain and a reliable bubble tea place in Syracuse. It's a great stop of a drink/snack in the mall. Service is quick, a bit impersonal. The boba is always fresh (the three times I've been there) Cons: This is a chain I have a hard time getting excited for something that's a dime a dozen in NYC. The milk tea with boba is solid. I almost always get this at any bubble tea place. I say almost because I got the rosehip milk tea and it was NOT yummy. If you like Pepto with boba, I guess it's fine. But for the rest of us, NO. Stick with the milk tea. read more

This is a solid place to get a quick milk tea that will not disappoint. I tried this location after already deciding I do not like bubble tea, so maybe this is just not my thing - take with that what you will. I got the milk tea with tapioca bubbles in it - per the ad's recommendation. I asked the server a question because the menu was a little hard to understand, and I wanted to know what drinks I could have with bubbles. There seemed to be a slight language barrier which resulted in me just taste testing the tapioca pearls, so the server was trying to help, there were just slight communication issues. The tea itself is really delightful and tasty - perfect for a hot summer day. I think the amount of tapioca bubbles kind of ruined the drink- and once again it could just be my personal aversion to the bubbles. But there were alot of them, and my brother, who got the pomegranate green tea with bubbles, agreed that it was just too much solid for a drink. Aside from the bubbles, the teas were both verrrry tasty! In summary, I would definitely recommend the teas with either no bubbles or a request for less bubbles! read more

I Love this place, go multiple times a week. Five Stars! My biggest issue right now is that their QR Reader is down and has been for more than a month now. I have around $25 in cash just sitting in the App that I don't have access to because their machine is out of commision. I have tried contacting the company multiple times, but I have been unsuccessful in getting a response so I'm trying here. Please fix soon :-( Very Frustrating read more

First I am surprised to find this in Syracuse. Either Bubble tea is getting more mainstream or Syracuse is getting more diverse. With a clean environment, fast service, and friendly staff, Kung Fu Tea is the BEST place in Syracuse to get bubble tea. The taste of the tea is not too strong or sweet, so you wouldn't get a bad aftertaste and feel the need to drink water. The MOST important part is that the tapioca​ "bubbles", which has a great texture that is not too soft or soggy. They should be individual​ chewable yet firm bubbles that wouldn't clog the straw. Kung Fu Tea also has a great selection of flavors, from the boring green tea to TARO or pumpkin oolong tea (its basic yet hipster at the same time). I would recommend​ the TARO. The price is also very reasonable. The only con is that you need to drive to destiny and find parking just to get the bubble tea. But if you're already at destiny, stop by for a drink. read more

This is a chain boba shop located upstairs in Destiny USA mall. It is the best boba tea place in Syracuse. They have some seating inside and do not sell snacks (like popcorn chicken or fish balls) the way other boba shops might. The only snack I saw was Pocki. I downloaded their phone app so I could get my first drink for free (basically). With the app, you get $4 toward your first drink, free drink on your birthday, and a free drink every 12th drink. The app lets you add a credit card so you just have to scan the QR code on the phone when you come next time. I got a small/regular sized oolong milk tea with grass jelly and it cost $4.05 (so I just paid 4 cents). They don't ask you if you want to adjust sweetness/ice so I was worried that my tea would be too sweet. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that it was perfectly sweetened (I am the type of person that likes tea either not sweetened at all or only sweetened a tiny bit)! They have a wall with Polaroid pictures as decoration. For those that do not like tea or do not want caffeine, they have juices/smoothies as well and no-tea "milk teas" like taro milk tea. Under seasonal flavors they had a pumpkin drink. I am not sure if this flavor is up all-year because pumpkin doesn't seem like much of a summer thing. I tried the grapefruit yogurt drink, no ice, lightly sweetened and thought it was great. They use Yakult yogurt to make it. I also tried the winter melon green milk tea with light ice and less syrup. It had a nice bittersweet flavor and was very yummy. I like that you can choose no sweetness, 30% or regular. You can also choose the ice level. They call their coconut pineapple jelly nata (or something?). They call their grass jelly "herbal jelly." I like that each drink is shaken in the shaking machine so it leaves a foamy top. Their coffee milk tea tastes great too! It's more tea tasting than coffee tasting. read more

Visiting Syracuse on a hot day and saw this bubble tea spot on Google. I ordered a large special bubble tea, carribean breeze which con sisted of guava, papaya, and pineapple, and requested the tapioca bubbles. Very delicious and well made. Only four stars though because it took a few minutes longer than necessary considering one drink that was ordered was spilled putting into a cup. also the bubbles need a but more draining from the liquid they sit in which is evident on bottom of cup.

Kung Fu Tea - Tried something new besides the taro slush, was strawberry lemon green tea with lychee jelly! Taste fruity and I love it! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Syracuse, New York

So, this was my first experience at Kung Fu Tea. I have seen friends on Yelp check in here often, so naturally I was curious to check it out. Tonight provided the perfect opportunity. They have a pretty extensive drink menu. I had no idea what to order. I had never had many of the drinks offered. That is what I am so excited about. I LOVE trying new things. So tonight I had a large Taro Slushie with Mango Poppers. Never had taro or poppers before. Yum!!! Loved the combination. And, because I Yelp, my poppers were free! I cannot wait to come back. I am a "try new and unusual things junkie" so this place will easily call me back again and again until I have tried most of their menu. Looking forward to it! read more

Well, seeing as all of my friends are Asian (LITERALLY all of them) it's no surprise that I learned to love bubble tea. (YES I AM WHITE AND I LOVE BOBA.) Not only do I love it, I drink ALOT of it so I know what "quality" boba is. Kung Fu Tea is probably the best milk tea that you can get in Syracuse. Don't freak the frick out though, because there's like only 2 other boba places around here so that's not hard to beat. But overall, Kung Fu is convenient, affordable, consistent, and they NAIL the basics. When I heard Kung Fu was opening in destiny I actually got excited because I have had Kung fu tea before and it was really good. I'm surprised this place doesn't hate me yet because my boyfriend called like 38482 times every single day prior to its opening asking if it had opened. Then when it finally opened he took all of their grand opening fliers and was freaking out about their BOGO deal. HE DIDN'T EVEN HAND THEM OUT HE JUST TOOK THEM. The employees were like ????????? Anyways, I went on their grand opening and they took a cute Polaroid picture of me and put it up on their wall. Plz check it out when you stop by I look rly good. Anyways, why is it so good? The ratio of tea to milk to sugar is pretty much perfect. They nailed the classic black milk tea. They also have less ice and less sugar options. Also, they have the REAL milk tea where you have to break the seal with your straw. Unlike the other posers in cuse using lids? Like are you ok? Their boba is also ALWAYS perfect. Not too mushy, not to hard. They also have fun sugary options if you are a basic white girl. Like Oreo milk tea and mango smoothies. If you are adventurous they have this nasty red bean mush that you can get too! All of my real Asian frenz love it but I'm a pansy so I hate it. The ambiance is also pretty modern so even if you don't like the boba, order a water and sit in there then force them to take a picture of you with their Polaroid... Overall, Kung Fu never disappoints and is definitely the new hot spot for boba in cuse. read more

Finally, some quality bubble tea! Been here about 10 times and always have had wonderful service and great prices. The tea is very tasty and a lot of options to choose from. Make sure to ask for some suggestions and keep an open mind. Things may sounds weird, but taste great! read more

I've heard of bubble tea a long time ago and always wanted to try it... and now I'm hooked! The menu can seem a bit overwhelming on arrival.

I ordered one boba tea. There was only one person in line before me, and one person after me. About 4 minutes after I ordered a group of 6 people came, and then a line started. I watched the person before me (#9) get their order, I was number 10. Then #11 got their order. And then #12 (the group of 6) and I watched more people and groups get their orders while I stood and waited. They even told #16 that they were out of what he ordered and asked if he wanted to order something else, so he did, and he and the person he was with both got his order. I asked the woman making the drinks If my order was done (it was just a orange green tea with boba) and she gave me a look and told me I had to wait to be called. So finally after there was a line of 10+ people and they had already called order #20 and I was STILL waiting (over 20 minutes at this point) I told the cashier they didn't need to make my drink. After that she and the people behind the counters acted fake apoplectic saying "We can make it now! Are you sure? " That is what pissed me off the most. I didn't even ask for a refund because my friends were waiting for almost half an hour and we live an hour and a half away and needed to get going. I live in a small city so the closest boba place we have is this one and it's not often we make an hour and a half one way trip to do something. I paid for something I never got, and I left a cash tip. They tried to say they "gave my drink away" but the person before me got a slushy and the guy after me got a taro drink. So I highly doubt it. They just didn't make it/forgot to make it. But at the very least, the woman at the register knew I got one simple drink and watched 10 groups of 15+ people come and go while I was stood there waiting. Honestly it was just pretty shitty. It put me in a bad mood the rest of the day. But everyone else got their orders in a quickly, so that's nice! read more

I was in the mall and I happened to spot the Kung Fu Tea, I literally ran across the mall to get Bubble Tea. Service was quick, price was reasonable. The bubble to tea ratio was perfection! Not too little, not too much, just perfect! And oh man the boba was made of real high quality stuff. You can totally taste the difference. My husband is white and he went next door to get regular coffee LOL. He just doesn't get it. Man, I could use some Bubble tea right now... read more

The best Boba joint in Syracuse. There is no close competitor. Unique tea house is a close second, however there's a distinct difference between Unique tea house and Kung Fu tea. The black tea flavor is much stronger here, and that is the weakness that most boba tea places struggle with. It is very difficult to steep black tea to the point of high concentration and not let it be too diluted when mixed with ice and condensed milk or half-and-half. The prices are fair, expect to pay up to $5, but right now as of this writing they offer $0.50 off if you get boba. Oh, and don't forget. Get the black milk tea. With boba. read more
