    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!

    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!

    I love HeyTea! Still my favorite location to go to in MA…read more I've experienced the least amount of problems here, compared to the other two (Newbury St. & Natick). PLUS, they close later than both. I have this bad habit of going here almost every time I have a meal in the area LOL. The addiction is real! I love that they keep adding new drinks to their menu... keeps it interesting. My favorite is still the Mango Coconut Boom but I'm a fan of most of their new drinks, like the Golden Oolong Yuzu & their King Jasmine Guava! I tried the Pistachio Cloud Jasmine Coconut, as well, and it's super similar to one of my favorites from MollyTea. I prefer the one from MollyTea more w/ champaca tea. Since their opening here, I have tried almost all of the drinks & their mango coconut boom is STILL superior! Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys mango. It is pretty much their version of mango pomelo sago (they have a version with pomelo but I like it without). SO GOOD! ***Pro tip: order ahead of time via HeyTea app. This is a lifesaver, since the wait time is pretty atrocious most days still. Usually takes ~20 min to be ready.

    LOVEDDDD THIS! so refreshing and perfect for pistachio lovers…read more there's typically a ~20min wait for this location but it goes by fast honestly. i recommend ordering ahead on their app to avoid a long wait

They have three tablet kiosks for self-ordering, and it's an intuitive UI, so the process was simple. Once I made my decision from their extensive list of options and combinations, it took me maybe 2 minutes from start to finish to build and submit my order. I ordered a large taro milk tea and it was everything I had hoped for. Flavorful, not too sweet, and the tapioca was a wonderful consistency. My only thing was that it was so busy and loud that the staff were unable to continuously call out when orders were complete, or you couldn't hear them. I eventually went up to the bar, noticed my drink had been sitting a few minutes, yelled over, "This is mine, thanks!!" Smiled, and then grabbed it. Beyond that? It was absolutely a great experience.
