    Entrance to Kung Fu Tea Symphony  Massachusetts Ave. Boston

    My mother enjoys her taro milk tea at Kung Fu Tea. I've noticed a couple of ongoing issues that really need attention. First, the bricks at the entrance are loose and scattered, which is a major safety concern. It has been like this for over a year and getting worse. My mother uses a wheelchair, and it's extremely difficult--and even dangerous--for her to get inside safely. It's disappointing that accessibility hasn't been better addressed. I've brought it to the attention of the staff and they are dismissive. Second, there have been times when we've come during posted business hours only to find a handwritten "on break" sign and the store temporarily closed. I totally understand that employees need breaks, but there should be better communication or staffing to avoid this kind of surprise for customers. I'm sharing this in the hopes that it helps improve the experience for everyone--especially those with mobility challenges.

    Solid boba spot. They sometimes make mistakes with the orders (missing boba in a hot drink, wrong ice level) but the people are really nice here, and I like their drinks a lot, so I just come and risk it :) My go-to is the wintermelon green milk tea. I think the shop extended their hours, so now they are open until 11 pm, which I appreciate!

    Wintermelon green milk tea with boba

    I've enjoyed KFT at many other locations but this store was only so-so for me. While my wintermelon green milk tea was nicely flavored, the boba was rather hard and undercooked in the center. Service was prompt but not particularly friendly - perhaps I visited on an off day. On the plus side, this store has a bright, spacious interior with ample seating. And by paying through the Kung Fu Tea app, you can get a free drink after two purchases and frequent deals like free toppings or discounted drinks. I may come back if there's a really good drink deal and I'm in the area, but will otherwise opt for other boba shops in Newbury and Chinatown.

    This is what they call me! Oh wait that's Backdoor Bae

    So if you're sick of pictures of me And the legs and high heels of Barbie There's one antidote Get some balls in your throat Get Lemon Black at Kung Fu Tea! I have a massive soft spot for this Kung Fu Tea because it was the first one I ever tried in Boston, and coming to Boston was seminal (not semenal, that was New York), and it was my first stop for Boba in town, and I loved it. That's because it's right near the gym which I like to use when I'm in Boston - about 5 minutes walk from this store, which makes it even more awesome. And Que Sera, Sera Whatever will be, will be The future is Kung Fu Tea Que Sera, Sera What to get: Lemon Black Tea With Tapioca! Or: All the fruit teas are pretty good, especially if you go off menu and get black tea! Or: Go crazy and order your fruit teas with the very strong Oolong! Or in winter: Any of the hot milk teas! Which milk teas are best: Honey Oolong! Oolong! Maybe Taro or Almond! I also love the regular milk tea with Oreo! Service was nice and the place was absolutely packed wall-to-wall with people, which made it even more nice. I like to be in busy places, it makes me feel ever so slightly alive. The lemon black tea was definitely tasty, and the decor is awesome, imaginative, bright and adorable, even in the bathrooms. I love the neon blue lighting, it reminds me of Barbie or a red light district (same thing really). I'm surprised to say this is probably my favourite Kung Fu Tea location in Boston - and believe me I tried all of them - probably because of the decor, the popularity, but the fact that it's not claustrophobic and is in a great area. Way bigger than it looks on the outside, for sure, just like Barbie's, oh man is that the time, better wrap up this review. Actually let's RAP up this review: It's been 10 minutes, and I'm DUE For another drink from Kung FU So now I'm going to rap for YOU And if it really sucks, just BOO So if you and your bf are THROUGH And you need something (someone) to DO Let me show you how my legend "GREW" And all my urban myths are TRUE Be glad your sister never KNEW What we did, or she'd want me TOO So do me like they do the DEW And I'll stick atop you like GLUE There is no taming of this SHREW I'll be the driver, you the SCREW You the river, me CANOE Or you can be Barbie's sexy SHOE Me Roger Daltrey, you the WHO You Chinatown Houston, me LOU Me dictator, you my COUP You Nepal, me KATHMANDU You 80s radio, me CUTTING CREW You a doctor's office, me the FLU You the Synagogue, me the JEW You the toilet, me the POO Wait, what Anyway Those boys will have to join the QUEUE And wait until I'm done with YOU You'll bounce like a KANGAROO Cause we're lovers, not fighters like FOO And when we're done (in a day or TWO) After I've made your kitty MEW And after I've finally WITHDREW Then it's time to go to Kung FU! WHAT

    All KFT locations are great to me. You're able to customize your own sugar and ice levels to your own liking. Be prepared, it'll be filled with college students since it's really close to NEU. I've been here numerous times and they always make my drink perfectly. My go to is their taro milk tea with 70% sugar and less ice. Or their oolong milk tea with less ice if you still want that tea taste. This location has a good chunk of seating to hang out and chat with friends unlike the other locations. This location in particular is so conveniently located to everything. Plus it's right off the green line and very close to the orange line which makes this super T friendly!

We walked into a relaxed space with a consistently friendly and engaged staff, making the experience feel more personal than a typical fast casual stop. The acai bowl is the foundation of the menu and it delivers reliably, with the base thick enough to hold the toppings without turning into soup partway through. The Nutella bowl is the most popular order, and the combination of the rich spread against the acai base works in a way that feels indulgent without completely undermining the healthier premise of the meal. The mango bowls are a lighter, brighter option for anyone who wants something less earthy than the acai, and the Nica Bowl is another solid choice for a more composed build. The customization options are generous and the staff is helpful in steering you toward combinations that work if you are unsure where to start. Prices land in the eleven to thirteen dollar range, which is on the higher side for the format, though the quality of the fruit and the portion sizes make it feel reasonable once you are eating it. For a post workout meal or a lighter lunch option near Northeastern, Playa Bowls is an easy and reliable choice.

Since it was beautiful outside, this looked like the right spot! They also had a poster highlighting their Protein functional bowl, so I knew my order. As I walked in, the staff member at the counter was on her Bluetooth headphones and having a full conversation with a friend while simultaneously trying to take down someone's order. It was confusing to everyone involved and took some time. Same when I ordered, and it looked like another friend had come in and joined her behind the counter to chat (didn't see any sign of this person working there, but I may be wrong). Oh well, a bit of an awkward ordering process is not a big deal. The bowl itself was actually really tasty. It was a bit sweet for my taste, but it was large and satiating. I'd definitely recommend! Quick note that if you are needing the bathroom, I'd wait until your next stop. It was one pretty dirty stall and left me wondering if I should have eaten there... Overall, a good product, but the service and cleanliness of the facility left something to be desired.

We happened to be visiting during a heat wave weekend, which made our plans a little challenging, but we still made it work. For dinner, I was hungry but not sure I had enough of an appetite for both an appetizer and a meal. I ended up ordering the tofu skewers anyway because they sounded interesting, and they came with peanut sauce. For my main, I ordered the mushroom shawarma pita, which included roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions, hummus, Mediterranean salad mix, shaved vegetables, herbs, harissa zhoug, and lemon tahini sauces in a whole grain pita. The pita was described as a low-calorie handheld, but it was packed to the brim. It looked beautiful, but I definitely could not finish it. I made it through one pita half and some of the filling from the second half before calling it quits. There were just a lot of flavors going on. I think it would have been easier to enjoy if the dish had focused on one or two flavor profiles instead of feeling like everything was packed into one pita. Overall, it was good, filling, and satisfying. I also had a kombucha with my meal, which was my attempt at trying to keep cool on a hot summer evening. If I go back, I'll probably keep it simple and order either an appetizer or an entree, because the portions are filling enough that I don't think I'd need both.
