    Overflowing Grapefruit Tea with aloe vera
    Dawn K.

    i always come to this bubble tea place when i visit syracuse! they have many selections of bubble tea and there hasn't been one i tried and didn't like yet! the shop has many cute decorations and a nice sitting area for enjoying food/drinks with company. the staff are always friendly and very accomodating to drink customizations!

    I will waste no time. I have been wanting to come in here for a long time but I am always in a hurry to catch the bus. But today I was finally able to come in and I must absolutely love it!!!! For a small place everything is just too adorable! The bubble milk tea was a delight. The decor everywhere so cute and pink!!! The owner a lovely lady. It was only me when I first walked in but soon other customers walked in. Simply a joy to sit in for a couple minutes. I look forward to trying so many other of the drinks and desserts. Oh and the prices were absolutely reasonable. I will make it my routine to definitely stop in whenever I am in the area for my VA appointments!

    Stir-Fried Flat Rice Noodles w/ Pork and Shrimp

    I used to love this place but it's gone down hill. So sad! I ordered take out today and was so disappointed when I took my first bite. The noodles were cooked improperly, all lumped together, a big ball of mush.

    Best bubble tea in Syracuse. If you are looking for a spot to quench your bubble tea cravings, this is the place to go. Ordering down the menu, not once was I disappointed with my order. They offer a variety of bubble teas, and my favorite would have to be the Thai Milk Tea. There is a lot of customization, and they use real and fresh fruits. You can really taste the tea in their drinks, not powdery at all. The relaxed ambience of the store makes it an ideal spot for studying. Not to mention, that their staff is very well trained and sweet. If you are currently in the Syracuse area and want some bubble tea, you should definitely come here!

    Sesame Duck with Classic Boba Milk Tea
    Ken M.

    Great place to grab tea (robust combination menu) and lunch. All sorts of tea are available and the staff will help you through a decision if you're not familiar. You can order ahead through Yelp for pick up also which is a huge plus. The sesame seed duck with fried noodle is if you're on the fence about getting it.

    Mochi
    Madison C.

    A fun little spot to play board games and enjoy boba tea and snacks at Marshall street. I tried crepe cake for the first time, and it was good. The mochi was not my favorite, but I definitely recommend the brown sugar boba.

    Mango Sabo with Pomelo on the right - 10/10 Oreo Cheesecake on the left - 9/10
    Cassie C.

    Came here for a treat after work & I had such a great experience! The workers were all friendly and attentive. The inside was clean & everyone was following social distancing rules, even in this semi-small shop. The prices are good, the quality is great! I got their Mango Sabo with Pomelo drink - refreshing & light. My fiancé got their Oreo Cheesecake drink - tastes just like an Oreo, a bit more tart which we both liked! Both of these are regular sizes, which is just a great deal because you get so much! Next time I'll definitely be getting their food!!

    Stopped by for a quick boba randomly. I ordered the milk taro under the recommendation of the worker. My friend ordered the bursting dragon fruit and kiwi basil green tea. The milk taro tea was served hot with chunks of cooked taro. Really hit the spot for a cold December day. The place has some card games for people to hang out, connect four, playing cards and cards against humanity. Great place to hang out, study or grab a quick drink. They also have desserts but I did not get a chance to try any of them.

    BOWO: Best Option When Stranded (in Syracuse) They've gotten better but there has still been times where the drinks are made off - not flavored enough. [EDITED since last visit] Opened up last week replacing the old sushi place on Marshall. Interior was designed to be aesthetically pleasing & decorated as best as they could based off location & target customers as college students don't really look too deeply into every aspect of the teahouse (like the fact that the ceilings aren't covered - you can see pipes and stuff). The walls are nicely covered with posters showing off the the drinks & food they offer however it'd be nicer if both posters were the same color (pink) so they can pair up nicely with the pink couch and everything else. I got the rose oolong tea with sea salt milk foam & it was pretty good. But the tea didn't have the rose taste - I wish it was a stronger taste since you can barley tell that it's rose. The price is pretty decent for a tea shop on Marshall where everyone usually goes. I also got the golden curry fish balls. It was overpriced considering there was only 8 pieces. The fishball also tasted more like fish cake because of the texture. But the curry sauce was pretty good. I would definitely come back as I feel like I'm getting more authentic stuff here compared to Unique Tea House, which is also on the same street.

    Love this place! Super cute and staff is friendly. The bubble tea is authentic and not too sweet. I love the cups because you can sip from it or put a straw into it. Will definitely return soon!

    Store

    Decent cozy place for 2-3 girl's talk with classic boba tea. Nothing fancy but it's a regular tea house. Crowd is pretty much in and out to grab some milk tea. Bbq pork rice is not clay pot but it's prepackaged and simply heat it up. It's nice.

    I came here by chance because I got a gift card from somebody. I have to say their chicken pot pie…read morewith a puff pastry crust was literally the best pot pie I've ever tried. (don't let my mom read this review.) it's visually stunning and incredibly tasty. I will be back.

    Such a cute cafe and a lot more spacious than I had anticipated! Staff is also very friendly…read more There are a variety of drink options, pastries (sweet and savory), and even some grab and go lunch items available. They also sell some very cute greeting cards, earrings, magnets, etc. We ordered two drinks (Ube Espresso, Crème Brûlée latte), a flower pot mini cake (chocolate cake with raspberry filling in a decorative flower pot), a crème brûlée donut, and a spinach puff. The desserts were good, with the flower pot mini cake being our favorite. The chocolate cake was moist and the raspberry filling was balanced. We didn't love the flower frosting on top, but it was very pretty. The donut was very unique and filled to the brim with a fluffy cream - though we both thought it could've had a bit more flavor. The dough was perfect - soft and pillowy. The crème brûlée top made for a fun eating experience as the thin hard sugar had a satisfying crunch. The spinach puff was also delicious. Flaky pastry and cheesy filling - very comforting. The stars of the show were the drinks. The coffee was superb - balanced, smooth, and rich in flavor. While I didn't find the ube flavor to stand out, the ube espresso drink was still one of my favorite coffee drinks I've had. The Crème Brûlée latte was my friend's favorite - it was the perfect dessert drink. It even had the sugar crust on top. I would definitely come back to try more of their menu!

    This is a nice spot on Genesee St if you're looking for something different than pizza, Phoebe's,…read moreor other quicker food options up on the Hill. I'm not a bubble tea fan, so I can't speak to that, but I do quite enjoy their ramen bowls and have had them on multiple occasions. The standout for me is the miso base with chicken. The broth is piping hot, the green onion flavor is awesome, and it's a chock full of ingredients. The interior is unique with big, open windows and some funky booths. My main complaint here is that service tends to be a bit slow. I'd recommend ordering ahead of time and then eating there once you pick it up or just doing take out. Ordering through the counter can take awhile, even if it's quiet in there. Happy to continue to support them!

The place was totally empty when we walked in and outside of 1 Uber Eats order we were it 4:30 PN. But, it still took 15 minutes for two bowls of ramen and one rice bowl to be ready. Our meals were good but not worth the drive from Marcellus. I've had worse and I've had better bowls of ramen. The stock was good but it was lacking any real depth of flavor and seemed to be singular in tone and lacked any real silky rich mouth feel. Nothing that would warrant a wave off, but nothing significant enough for a book mark. We all like what we like, but for me this was an average experience.

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!

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.

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.

Honestly I didn't know how the cheese would hold up on the car trip, but it was still warm, had pull and was super satisfying all around. The Hot Cheetos version was so tangy and really added a zest and kick. Technically I think these menu items were from Mochinuts which is next door/attached, but I was able to order from both simultaneously through the delivery platform. I also got a gingerbread milk tea, which was super sugary and tasty. I would definitely swing in here if I was downtown and strolling through Armory Square!

    Phenomenal food!…read more We're in Syracuse for a conference, and didn't want to spend a fortune for mediocre food at the conference hotel, so we set out to find a good local spot via Yelp. Su Su Dim Sum came up at the top of the list, so off we went. I ordered a small (pint) of hot and sour soup and lamb with scallions. My wife ordered tangerine beef, and then we ordered red bean paste steamed buns to go for breakfast tomorrow. The soup was thick, full of chunks of tofu, plenty of vegetables, a little less peppery and a little less pungent than we like, but still better than typical Chinese restaurant fare. A bowlful of fried noodles came on the side. A great start! My wife, a veterinarian, suspected that the lamb was actually beef, but that question aside, the lamb dish was delicious, with plenty of meat, chunks of bell pepper, and abundant scallions, in a delicious sauce. The star of the night was the tangerine beef, lightly breaded and perfectly fried, in a savory and slightly sour sauce. A few broccoli florets, a handful of tangerine segments, and a wonderful thick sauce completed the dish perfectly. We packed up the leftovers, collected the steamed buns, and headed back to the hotel. We grabbed some menus to give to fellow conference attendees when they ask where we went out to dinner.
