Fox E.

As usual let's open with a KFT rap: 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 As my notes say: friendly guy who knows how to make a LBT, very tasty, subtle, not too sweet, good location, like your mother. I wanted to take off my pants, but I didn't, because then it would've been Hung Fu Tea. Lovely little KFT in Elmhurst, it has seating, it's a nice place to hang out, and all in all it's one of my fave locations, with friendly service and lovely decor as well. The little cat on the table is adorable, I like the mirrors (so did Justin Timberlake) (Barbie wants them all over her bedroom including the ceiling) (I mean full wall mirrors) (you would too if you looked like her), and of course the Lemon Black Tea was tasty AF. I stopped pretending to be a turtle when ordering here. Otherwise it'd be Kowabunga Fu Tea. 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! Generally speaking, Kung Fu Tea scores 5, which is a huge compliment, considering that it's a massive international corporate chain, whose milk teas don't match up to the best chains: Sharetea, Gong Cha, Tea Top, and Coco. However, they're still really good, and the fruit teas here are among the best. Especially the lemon black tea which absolutely rocks my world. If it's not on the menu, demand it! Other fruit teas (Orange, Grapefruit, Pineapple) must also be ordered off-menu as Black Tea instead of the meh Green. Also the Lemon Black tastes good as a Lemon Oolong, but everyone else hates it because they have bad taste. The one annoying thing about the chain is the corporate office (they're sketchy) and their rule that no drink can have its tea altered. I didn't need major surgery while in here. If I had, it might've been Collapsed Lung Fu Tea. I feel like I came to this KFT a very long time ago, but my most recent visit was much more enjoyable because I hung out here and the employees were great and the location is tucked on a back street off Broadway (the aptly named Justice) in the heart of Elmhurst, which is Latin Queens, but has a lot of flavour from many other cultures. And while parking is a nightmare, my experience here was anything but. The excellent drink, the lovely decor, and the even better service mean there's no way this isn't 5 stars. So if you have nothing to do And your partner won't give you a screw I know something better And very much wetter Get Lemon Black Tea from Kung Fu!

This store is super rude and unprofessional. Things happen like this, I order the bubble tea with red bean and bubble and they charge me without telling me the price and also they charge the wrong amount of money without any apology . First the front desk was very new and no experience. Second the girl who made the drink was very inpatient and trying to argue with me and blame me. Finally the manager step in and yelling me back and try to kick me out. They pretend like they will give me an refund like yelling " you will get your money back in 10 days" This kind of costumer service is totally not appreciated. Never support this type of local business . I only order one order and they charge twice. Imagine if I did not check my Creidt record, it will be like an rip off.

Watery and not even filled to the top. Disappointing

I havent been to kungfu tea in a long time and I wont be back for sure! I shouldve been warned when the store was empty when I entered Came into redeem my reward on the app by getting two large milk teas without ice. First the cups werent even filled to the top...like did i pay for a large just for you to give me a medium? Second I think I just paid for milk flavored water cuz thats what it tastes. Worst milk tea I've ever had. In my whole life. Third I ordered them in two separate transactions but was charged different prices for the same order? $3.75 for the first time I ordered and $4.08 for the second time I ordered. Something smells fishy.... Never again kungfu tea.

We parked at a free metered parking space on a Sunday about 3 blocks away from Queens Center mall and our plan was to go shopping first and then get some bubble tea from this spot (a Kung Fu Tea yay!) afterwards since it was on the same block as our parking space so it would be very convenient later. We've been to 3 of their other locations before and they never disappoint. We arrived here around 2 pm and there was not even 1 customer in this spot. There were 3 employees working (2 males and 1 female) and the 1 male took our order while the female made the drinks. Pricing was under $8 dollars for 2 medium sized drinks (we got the KF bubble milk tea and taro slush). The drinks turned out really good and satisfied our sweet cravings. The best part of this bubble tea place is the 2 different types of sweet panda bubbles (black + white bubbles). I feel their bubbles are one of the best out of all the chain bubble tea spots that we have went to. My husband loves their taro slush and that's the only drink he gets from here because it is super sweet and the texture is like a smoothie without being too watery. CASH ONLY!

How great is this, a new bubble tea place in my neighborhood! I heart you Amy S. for your FTR review and telling us about the 2-for-1 Grand opening special this whole weekend. I was down there by 8:30pm for a bubble tea fix and the Special! They had four items for the 2-for-1 so I ordered all four. Compared to the Flushing store (more like a large booth) it is not over sweetened which is my preference. Maybe they refined their mixer. All I remember was a delicious hot WOW-brand(1) bubble tea with tapioca balls that were tasty, chewy, soft and firm. I didn't even take note of the names. Green Wow Milk $3.50 + free Passionfruit Green Tea Green Wow Milk $3.50 + free KF Bubble Milk Tea Four bubble tea; medium- $7 (Woo hoo!) This location is a real store with a small quantity of chairs and table. I did take advantage of their brand new red leather couch. Deco- slick, modern and hot! I heart your designer. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/i8aUeHmdINsEWceJGBy-QQ?select=MD4FIvEiRkeBHpkY0tgtyg *Comment/Suggestion- the menu is presented on a large LCD monitor which is slice but can become difficult to read when it gets crowded. (1)- The WOW has a mix of tapioca balls, beans, milk and tea. After a couple of sips you'll say "Wow!'; it bets a cup of coffee!

PASSION FRUIT GREEN TEA and SUNSHINE PINEAPPLE TEA

Rasheedah A.

This location is really convenient and super accessible from the M and R train. It boasts some seating as compared to the other branches in queens. We got the sunshine pineapple and passion fruit green tea , both delicious and refreshing but the sunshine pineapple was the real winner. Oh important to note both of them we asked for 50% sugar. The pineapple was light and refreshing and definitely perfect for that hot afternoon that we visited. The passion fruit green tea was also good but the flavor wasn't as good as the sunshine pineapple. So new favorite flavor is definitely pineapple sunshine #fortheloveofboba

I can forgive the bootleg cups and unsealed lids - but at least warn the pickup person about it so that half the drink doesn't spill before getting home.

I have seen photos of shaved ice and have been curious. Noticed their shaved-ice ad for so long I decided to try it from there. it's really just frozen-flavored ice which is shaved, I wouldn't pay $6 for it again. It came out looking good but once I started eating, it became sticky and mushy. And need better customer service.

If there is a 0 or -star, I won't be hesitate to give them that. 9/23 about 5 pm we ordered two drinks w/ pearl to go. Then, we found the pearl tasted a little bit sour and the green tea milk tea tasted watery and so different with any other KungFu. But we already were heading to Brooklyn and stuck on the bridge at that moment. It's abt 20-25mins away from KungFu. I called them just wanted to let them know this situation instead of posting on yelp directly. After a long talk with them, they want us back to the store next day and will make us two new drinks. Today, I went to the store and tried to talk to Alvan whom they said he will be in charge of this. But the whole conversation and all the staffs made us feeling like we were driving 40mins(round trip) here for cheating them 2 drinks that value $8 total. (I'm wondering how much my gas cost) please don't tell me you were giving me "FREE" drinks, becuz u didn't refund me. Such a NICE interaction when customer gives their feedback. ====================================== Here comes the conversation, if any one interested: Me: I have called yesterday for the poor quality drinks and was told to come back today. Alvan: it's "impossible" the pearl tasted sour, and ONLY YOU said so. No other customer said that. Me: what do u mean? you mean it's my problem or? Alvan: No, but it's just impossible but if you insist. Ok, I CAN give you 2 drinks FOR FREE. Me: These are not the FREE DRINKS! We purchased 2 poor quality drinks yesterday and called you becuz we want to let you know abt the quality was not good. We didn't dare to drink the sour pearl and thrown them away. Alvan: oh, usually customer will need to show us the drinks. Me: You mean even I were arriving Brooklyn? Or you mean we were cheating for these? Alvan: No, but anyway, I CAN GIVE u two FREE drinks. ====================================

I feel the snacks are way too spicy, because I asked mild spicy. I feel they have false advertising for fried tempuras, because they have a picture of mix tempuras. But I received fried fish cakes instead. I feel I got cheated for the snack. Then I order a honey green tea and ask for no ice. The female cashier still makes the the drink with ice. So I remind her that I requested no ice, then she acts like she didn't know and turns around to her colleague to laugh it off. I don't come to this place to spend my money for her to be a snubby and unfriendly dumb blonde. I get that she looks pretty with makeup on. Her colleague just hands me my snacks and drink, and doesn't even care if he gives the order to the right person or not. What a bad customer service.

This place is OK - much better than the Quickly's powdered stuff down the street. Plus, it's conveniently located next to the Fay Da. I usually get almond milk tea from these places, but Kung Fu doesn't have almond, so I got the "kung fu tea" instead, which was pretty satisfactory. Since this isn't too far from my house, I'll probably keep coming and make this my new local spot since Oz closed. read more

I LOVE KUNG FU TEA!! Being a broke college student I would usually opt for quickly since students get a .50 discount but due to terrible service I've been coming here. I usually get the green tea with tapioca and it is absolutely wonderfulllllll. The tapioca is perfect; sweet, soft and chewy. If you like the tapioca to be a little harder you might want to go to coco. read more

Staff was rude and with little to no training. I basically received milk tea colored sugar water. Dudes in the back making the drinks were too busy playing around and talking smack to each other rather than putting effort into what they were making for their customers. I suggest a retraining or seriously restaffing everyone there, quality is plunging in their service and product area. (Last I recalled summer is a high selling season for the beverage market) Too harsh? Well if you're going to charge someone a 5-6 dollar drink... yeah... maybe you should give it some effort. I'll caveat that other locations are superior to this location... stay away from this location is my final recommendation, your palate and wallet will thank me. P.S. - It's possible, this is just all a reflection on management... they just don't care. read more

The flavors are quite creamy. Even though we have about 4-5 bubble tea locations in Elmhurst each one of them are different in their own way. I ordered the taro milk tea. The tapioca has the right amount of "chew." The way way its shaken, the powder they use whatever it is they're doing it right. Great late night / afternoon snack. read more

Hot bubble tea season! There is no hot bubble tea in Taiwan according my Taiwanees friends, though. But here is New York. Why not? I order hot matcha milk tea all the time here. The thickness of matcha flavor varies. It is depends on who make the tea. I think they should be careful to keep the same flavor all the time. Sometimes it takes long time to make hot match bubble tea. Therewas a time that it barely taste matcha and it was just like sweet milk. I was disappointment to have it after long wait. If they make it right, there beverages are good. So they just have to keep their tea's taste stable. read more

For some reason, this Kung Fu Tea is not as good as others that we've been to, such as in Chinatown or in Brooklyn. We're not really sure what made it so different but the mung bean wow milk drink that we had elsewhere was much more enjoyable than the one here. The one we ordered here was heavy in milk and lack flavor in everything else. Maybe next time we'll try something different. read more

Really small boba shop, more of a pick-up/to-go boba shop than one where you can hang out. I've never driven here, but I'd imagine it's pretty inconvenient if you're driving as there is very limited amount of street parking spaces available.

One of my personal favorite bubble tea spots in the area. Having grown up here, I've tried all the bubble tea around here and Kung Fu Tea stands out. Can't really complain about the service, but I'm really here for the drinks. My personal favorite is the Kung Fu Milk Tea with red beans. The tapioca here is as soft and chewy as they should be. I'm not sure if this drink is still on the menu, but there was a pineapple fruit tea that had bits of pineapple in it. It was refreshing and not overly sweet. read more

I had a recent experience with Parva that really stood out to me. An order I placed came out…read moreincorrectly, but what impressed me most was how they handled it. The staff member who called me was honest, direct, and took responsibility right away. Shortly after, the owner himself came personally to my pharmacy to replace the items at no cost. That level of accountability and professionalism is something you don't see often. It really speaks to the kind of business they run and the respect they have for their customers. Beyond that, their food has always been consistently delicious. This experience just reinforced why I'll continue supporting them. Highly recommend Parva to anyone in the Elmhurst and Jackson Heights community -- not just for the food, but for their integrity and care.

Can't believe they don't sell the passionfruit cheesecake anymore, it was divine…read more 1/5 Passionfruit smoothie $5.75- love sour stuff but this was so sour I couldn't finish it, I know I said I'll take regular sugar but maybe the employee didn't hear me cuz there was no hint of sugar, they charge .25 for whole milk, crazy 2/5 matcha croissant? We need real matcha here, this stuff was so sweet & not very matcha tasting, disappointing

Lety's Bakery and Café

I love Lety's Bakery & I'm glad it has been in Jackson Heights for a while & many years to come…read more The employees there are always very sweet & everything I've had there was great, some more than others of course (like the flan & rainbow cookies stand out more than other things to me). Everything I've tried so far has been fresh as well. The one important thing to note though is that the flan cheesecake is amazing (who even came up with that haha) & I do think the textures do mix well BUT only when eaten fresh. In short, do not take the flan cheesecake to go as it does not travel well at all, even if it's for a short distance. Simply enjoy it inside the cafe instead :).

This was one of the better old-school neighborhood Italian bakeries I've been to in recent years…read more This little stretch of 37th Avenue often feels nostalgic to me, with stationary and 99 cent stores, Jahn's, and bakeries like this. It reminds me of what Hudson Street was like in the 90s. We shared some of the jam-filled heart-shaped cookies and the rainbow cookies. The rainbow cookies had a pleasant aroma from the raspberry jam and a good subtle taste of marzipan in the cake layers. I wouldn't have minded a slightly denser chocolate coating on top.

Tea Cup Cafe

As stated before, I finally came back to try the savory foods from Tea Cup Cafe!…read more Starting off, my fiancé ordered the Crispy Fish. The sauce that was served was absolutely delicious with the signature tanginess and sweetness of Thai food. The hot pot that I ordered was also enjoyed to the fullest! The food here was super good but also I love liver so I was glad they had a hot pot option that included that! After a delicious meal, we finished off with the mango bingsu which also was a huge hit! The bingsu was super fluffy and light! This meal was definitely worth it and didn't leave me feeling super heavy. The service was also great even though they were always full house with some parties waiting and only one person serving. I will be back next time to try their Thai barbecue which I saw people having and I could stop looking at! On top of all this, the server or manager even gave me a free Melona ice cream which I paired with the bingsoo after he saw that I was pregnant which I thought was super sweet. I don't live too far from here so I also want to add that even though I have not added a review, I always go to this restaurant to grab a coconut Thai milk tea to go (I am not even a huge Thai tea fan)! For some reason, I love the coconut thai tea from here and always find myself craving it.

Service is either a bit slow, they were backed up or they don't work on your app orders until you arrive and ask for it. Still, not exactly egregious and I'm trying to be understanding, though how they get backed up with 5 workers behind the counter is a little confusing. Still, the service is always friendly and the shop is cute so it's a good reminder to slow down and take it all in. Ambience is fine. Dark walls but well lit. Batches of seats up front and in the back separated by the service counter. Lots of Knick knacks for sale. They've got some pastries and sandwiches but I've never sampled them so I don't have much to add. I usually get some kind of Americano and the coffee flavors really come thru without excess bitterness. I'll also note, they've fixed their cups. Early on, their coffee cups to go used to leak but that's been rectified at least for the past few months. Definitely a good choice if you're looking for a proper brew.

No need to justify them, but yeeshhh. Time to become a barista. Their standard coffee options like americano, cortado, flat whites, etc are in a more average $3.50- 5.25 range. Ordered the ube matcha latte w/coconut cloud ($10.50), and BEC ($9) and a EC ($8) as they come on brioche. The sandwiches were extremely dense and filling. Not super cheesy. Eggs are pancaked not scrambled. They were fine but sat too heavy in the stomach. And no, I didn't eat both. Actually I even spaced out the EC having half immediately and half later. I wouldn't order again. Red Bean matcha latte ($10) and Guava matcha latte ($10), both served iced, are also tantalizing unique menu options. The use matcha latte was delicious. Tasted fresh and not artificial. It's a small space with 3-4 seats at a counter inside and a few round tables outside. There's no bathroom. Cute decor. I liked the tiles and the cookies in paper bag baskets.

Though there was some seating available, some of our group did not like the stifling air inside. Maybe they need better ventilation or leave the door open. The Wake Up Matcha with Herbal Jelly (Large, Iced, 0% sugar) had a decent matcha flavor. It still had a hint of sweetness, and the general consensus was that the drinks were on the sweet side. I am glad I got no sugar with this drink. The Cajun Fries with Mango Habanero sauce was perfectly crispy. The Cajun seasoning completely covers the fries, which I like (give me -all- that seasoning!), so it's got really good Cajun flavor. The sauce added some sweetness to the fries. I liked the little wooden stick to eat the fries with, so you don't get seasoning all over your fingers. Note: they have a cash price and a credit card price. Be sure to bring cash for a bit of a discount. Overall, a solid fries spot with decent drinks. Definitely adjust the sugar to be a level less than your normal preference.

They don't take credit card, why? Sadly most ethnic business exploit the tax loophole, but I was hoping that Kung Fu Tea which is patronized by younger generation can make a stand and help the economic and intentionally be radical. I stay away from business people who practice this negative impact to our society. I can't change the world, but I can vote no to those who don't care about the very community that support their business. It is only when we choose to pay our share of economic burden, that we can point to those so called rich corporation for their corruption. read more

They have the best coffee with cream and I got my coffee in the morning. I will also recommend their bubble tea! Their bubbles taste better and fresher than other places too! I'm a little lactose intolerance, so can only consume organic or lactose free milk. They use lactose free milk which fits my profile and my stomach its always okay for me to drink their red wow milk. Oh plus you can customize the sugar amount, which I always chose less sugar. Since winter comes, the option for ice level just make my drink even better. read more
