I don't like beans in my drinks, not even MUNG FU
If you brought the tea, it's already been BRUNG FU
If you're seventeen, sorry bae, but you're too YOUNG FU
But if you want Lemon Black Tea, you come to KUNG FU!
It makes some of the rivals taste like eating cow DUNG FU
It's at the top of the ladder, while you're on the lowest RUNG FU
You'll love if you're easy going, even highly STRUNG FU
So if you want a Lemon Black Tea, you come to KUNG FU
I tasted it and screamed so loud that I collapsed a LUNG FU
I carried on screaming and sounded like Angus YOUNG FU
They played Sting on the radio, but I'm already STUNG FU
By the wondrous Lemon Black Tea they serve at KUNG FU
I went to the toilet, opened Snapchat, then I SUNG FU
Came back, took my pants off, and the girls yelled "HUNG FU!"
In walked Barbie and immediately I'm SPRUNG FU
And you should come and get a Lemon Black Tea from KUNG FU!
WHAT
Best Boba in the area. Tea Leaf is fake, Tai Chi is slightly better but meh, ICHA is awesome but it's not KFT... my KFT. The #1 and it always will be.
I miss my friends here. It's the only KFT for a good hour or more in any direction, and it's a great one. They make wonderful lemon black tea and have a wonderful staff. They can get really busy at times, but it's an excellent place to hang out, and I consider a lot of the people I've met in here, or that work here, my friends.
They knew that I was a little lonely and isolated in the Buffalonian winter of 2018-19, and subsequently invited me to their Thanksgiving dinner, threw me a Citizenship party at the wonderful restaurant they also own - The Eastern Pearl. Talk about going above and beyond. I I even made my own drinks here (fun times). They always treated me like family, I will never forget them. For this reason it's my favourite boba shop in the whole country, this coming from someone that's been to thousands.
Shout outs to my friend Yazzy who looks like Drake and has great music taste, my snapfriend Peter, to Ifan who always treated me wonderfully, to Cindy for the long chats, Irene who is sorely missed, the amazing Carmen who broke my heart and went back to the City, to Mike the fantastic owner, to Fevi Del Rey who'll always be my friend and made me feel like I had people that cared about me in Buffalo, and to Kevin and his hat, for all the great chats.
My fave hang out in all of WNY, hands down. Because of the employees. And the spectacular drinks.
What to get: Lemon Black Tea With Tapioca!
Or: All fruit teas w/Black Tea.
Or: Go crazy and order your fruit teas with the very strong Oolong!
Or in winter: Any hot milk tea!
Which milk teas are best: Honey Oolong! Oolong! Maybe Taro or Almond! I also love the regular milk tea with Oreo!
They never had a problem making me off-menu drinks (a lot of KFT locations do), they never had a problem with me staying in here 5 hours and only getting one drink (although I often got more), and unlike certain other spots in town (cough Tea Leaf), they never judged me or started ugly rumours about me (that I know of) just because I hung out here so damn much. They also never tried to screw me over for $$$ like Tai Chi did. And their products are miles better than TC and TLC anyway.
One word of advice for the corporation... stop trying to screw this wonderful store and all the other stores over. You're going to lose so many of your best people with this ugly practice. Showing up and yelling at my friends (the owners/employees) for not following the 300 mundane letters of the bull**** law and then trying to fine them just to extract more money from them? The rulers of the KFT empire should get their heads on straight.
And a word of advice for the management, who I adore. Rumours of the tip jar being "for show" and the employees not getting said tips... I understand there may be justifications for such things, but do the right thing... we're all a little hard up for cash, but let the tips be for the people the tips were intended for: the servers. I'd usually downgrade several stars for this type of thing, but these are some of the nicest friends I ever met in Buffalo and they got me through a lot without even knowing it.
A special shout out to Mo. I hope more than anything that when I get back to Buffalo he's got his citizenship and is working on opening an amazing Burmese food restaurant someday. He deserves it. I hope he gets a much deserved pay rise too.
KFT. My fave location. My fave Boba shop on earth, this one here at North Campus. You must come here, visit my friends, drink amazing bobas.
