Came here for the first time on a weekend with my husband and another couple of friends. We ordered their milk tea with bubbles and my husband ordered a fruit slush with red beans.
What's hot
- Location. Conveniently located in a plaza with an Hmart, other shops and restaurants. That also means there's parking.
- Indoor seating. There is an indoor seating area with a decent number of tables and chairs, which is helpful, especially if you're eating.
- Menu includes food. Most Kung Fu Tea locations I've been to don't offer food, but this location does, including dim sum, noodles, and poke bowls. Nice to have.
- Price. For two drinks (one large and one medium), we paid approximately less than $20, so not bad. However, read below...
What's not
- Bubbles/tapioca is too sweet. I asked for my bubble tea to not be sweet, but that's not what I got. Rather, there was syrup at the bottom of my cup and the bubbles are already very sweet. That tells me they boil their tapioca in sugar water, which I'm not a fan of. One of our friends had to go back and ask them to remake her drink, because it was too sweet. Because they boil their tapioca in sugar water, my friend also asked them to use herbal jelly, rather than tapioca pearls in her new drink. As such, the quality of their drinks is lacking. Price for value isn't a good trade off.
- Full menu isn't available. Their full drinks menu isn't available. Rather, you have to scan their QR code to access their full menu.
- Ambient noise. They play loud music inside. While it's cool to listen to music to jam to, if it's too loud, it's difficult to have a conversation with whoever you're with. Not to mention, at some point, it can get to a point where it's too loud and hurts your ears.
- Food menu. Given that the quality of their bubble tea is lacking, which is their staple feature, it makes me hesitant to try the other foods on their menu, because I question their quality.
Final Answer
Not on my list of bubble tea places to return to. read more
