They have a great selection of milk teas and regular tea. It was hard to choose which tea I wanted, but my daughter chose milk tea and I chose green tea. Yum! My only regret was getting a medium versus a large I wanted to try their cook bowl. I chose steak with sushi rice, lettuce, carrots, corn, cabbage and cucumbers. I chose to get the yum yum sauce on the side. They gave ample sauce. My bowl also came is Miso soup. It was very flavorful. You order at the counter and can wait at one of the tables. Drinks are brought out fairly quickly. You have to wait a bit for your food. I noticed they had the ability to do online ordering. So if you can plan ahead, I recommend it. They have branded canned drinks and popcorn near the register. I'm looking forward to stopping by again.

I have been looking for a place that has good Taro tea and I believe this is it. I've tried several places here since coming from Texas and they have all been disappointing but this one has been consistently good! They also have food items, which I have honestly not tried because I'm usually just looking for a drink. The atmosphere is very laidback and casual and very open. The service is also quick even though there are just a two or three people taking orders, making the tea and prepping the food. Definitely give them a try! I'll try out the food next time and hopefully will be just as happy

Poke bowl and sushi burrito with miso soup

We ordered food from Ninja Cafe, which is I think in the same store as the bubble tea place. Though I haven't tried their tea yet, their was really good. We ordered a poke bowl and a sushi burrito. Both came with miso soup, and it was yum. The meals were really filling and tasty, and I would definitely order from here again.

I always have a great time, what can I say. They are great. I tried their sushi burrito this time and it was delicious. They can get pretty busy, but plenty of seating to wait or you can get a sub at the firehouse subs nearby lol. It's what we do sometimes. You can never go wrong with their drinks here. They are all unique and flavorful. 10/10 keep it up kft!

Taro slush with bubbles
Lisa S.

Went with a group to Kung Fu Tea up in PA last week (hubs, me, a college friend, 6 kids) and was delighted to learn from their app that we have one about 20min from our home as well! So off to High Point we go. I love a taro bubble tea, but with this newfound convenience and vast assortment I may have to work my way thru the menu and try everything. The posters alone, and there are many, tempt me in many different directions! It seems like the different locations have different food assortments, and High Point's has sushi, sushi burritos, and poke bowls. Hubs & I each got a sushi burrito, which comes with a free miso soup (as does a pair of sushi rolls); we both liked ours but next time I'll get sushi rolls. In my case that's just a matter of ingredient ratios, like Reese's pb eggs vs pb cups. Caveat: the drinks seem to be on the Kung Fu Tea side of things and the food on the Ninja Cafe side; to get app credit on the drinks we had to pay separately. The one thing I reached out to the Kung Fu Tea app with feedback on is that the High Point store doesn't let you order thru the app like you could in the Media PA (and presumably other) location. This isn't something the store can change; I asked about it even the manager acknowledged it was inconvenient for guests and for them.

While the poke was excellent the music being played will keep us away. Rap music with the N word and other words that would get my review blocked! Seriously, we looked around when we entered at 12:30 on Sunday and were wondering why the place wasn't jumping with the after church crowd, and we had our answer in about ten seconds. We'll be back for carry out, because the food was great, but seriously, the music is obnoxious.

Kung Fu Tea has the CHOPS to carve itself out a nice little niche in this area of High Point where options for sushi can be a little limited and boba tea options are practically non-existent. This space used to be Marozzi's Pizza, and is now occupied by the dual named Kung Fu Tea and Ninja Cafe. It's the same place, but both signs being there is a little confusing until you walk in. I ordered a poke bowl with tuna and salmon and a whole host of veggie toppings and sauces, as well as the rare to find Takoyaki, which is like hushpuppies but with octopus inside. I also got a tea drink to go, but damn if I can remember what was in it. It was a little sweet for my liking, if I went again, I would definitely have them tone down the sugar content. The poke bowl tasted fresh and I liked all the sauces they gave me. I don't have many baselines for the Takoyaki, but it was as good as other versions I have had. Overall, I wasn't blown away or anything, but I would go back and give it a try another time.

Rosehip pineapple bubble tea
Zac G.

NOTE: Ninja Cafe and Kung Fu Tea are co-located. This review will cover the latter, a bubble tea franchise. A rare commodity elsewhere, bubble tea is hard to avoid in High Point. Even so, Kung Fu Tea sets itself apart by offering a nearly overwhelming number of options. You can choose from classic, fruit, and milk teas and customize them (size, hot or cold, sweetness levels, bubble toppings, etc.) to the hilt. Throw in some intriguing seasonal options (strawberry cream, brown sugar, and rosehip pineapple in addition to the requisite pumpkin), and it's hard to NOT find something here. Of course, some trial and error may be involved in arriving at a favorite. We went with a rosehip pineapple tea during our most recent visit. It was sweeter than expected, but the pineapple's acidity tempered that somewhat, and the tapioca bubbles are quality. The staff here have never been anything but polite, and pricing ($3-4.50 for most of the teas and a bit more for slushes) is fair. Anyone in search of a refreshing beverage near the Palladium shouldn't sleep on this place.

I had to do a double-take when I saw a Kung Fu Tea had opened in my hometown of High Point. At the time of writing this, there are four locations in North Carolina: two in Charlotte, one in Cary (Triangle), and this one in High Point. Why High Point? That said, a lot of good stuff has opened in recent years along this stretch of Wendover from High Point to Greenboro. You can find this Kung Fu Tea attached to a Ninja Cafe (same business) in the popular Palladium Shopping Center. I asked the cashier when they opened and she said last summer (2019). In short, Kung Fu Tea sells drinks and Ninja Cafe sells food. Kung Fu Tea sells over 60 kinds of drinks from popular Taiwanese milk teas to punches. They come in two sizes, medium (16 ounces) and large (20 ounces). During our visit, medium drinks were priced at $3.00-5.25 each and large drinks were priced at $3.75-$6.75 each. Toppings cost extra. Standard toppings, of which they offer over a half-dozen varieties (e.g. bubbles, red bean, pudding), cost $0.50 each. Premium toppings, like aloe and fig jelly and popping bubbles, cost $0.75 each and milk caps cost $1.00 each. Ninja Cafe was selling $11 poke bowls and $8 "cook bowls" containing cooked food. You customize the bowls yourself, selecting from different types of rice, protein, veggies, toppings, and sauces. In addition, Ninja Cafe features sushi burritos (priced at $9-11 each during our visit), a fairly limited selection of sushi rolls (about $4-14 each), and Japanese apps such as gyoza and takoyaki ($5 each). I'm happy to report this Kung Fu Tea in High Point is solid. I've been to some good ones and I've been to some bad ones; the former is usually the case though. Here's what we got on our first visit to this location (we'll be back), all in size medium. * Yogurt Orange Juice with bubbles, 30% sweet ($5.25) * Taro Slush with bubbles, 30% sweet ($5.15) * Lychee Black Tea with herbal jelly, 50% sweet ($4.45) * Winter Melon Milk Green Tea with bubbles, 50% sweet ($4.35) I wasn't a fan of the Yogurt Orange Juice, but I thoroughly enjoyed all of the other drinks. I don't think there was anything wrong with the Yogurt Orange Juice; I just wasn't in the mood for it at the time. My wife really liked it. Kung Fu Tea's yogurt drinks are made with Yakult, a well-known Japanese sweet probiotic milk. Kung Fu Tea combines it with what I think is real fruit juice, so the Yogurt Orange Juice tasted exactly how it sounds, like fresh-squeezed OJ mixed with Yakult. If you like OJ, then go for it. The Taro Slush, Lychee Black Tea, and Winter Melon Milk Green Tea were all terrific. The Taro Slush was my favorite. It tasted like a dessert. Even at 30% sweet, the drink was still plenty sweet. If you're a fan of Taro Milk Tea and have never tried the Taro Slush before, it's worth trying. The flavor profile is almost exactly the same except there is no milk and more ice, so it's less creamy and more icy. However, the Slush still has a really appetizing and smooth consistency which I like. My best description for the Taro Slush is it's like drinking a delectable, sweet, icy pudding. The Lychee Black Tea is sweetened by lychee and lychee alone, so it's not practical to order this drink at anything below 50% sweet since all they do to reduce the sugar level is to put less lychee in the drink (then you start defeating the purpose of ordering "Lychee Black Tea"). This drink was also subtly sweetened by the herbal jelly (grass jelly) topping which we added on. Relatively speaking, this was a fairly "light" sweet tea with a little bit of tanginess from the bits of tasty lychee. The herbal jelly was delicious and it's one of my top three favorite toppings to get. The Winter Melon Milk Green Tea was on point. If you're a fan of milk teas and want to try something different, I recommend it. Not everyone is a fan of winter melon tea because of the uniquely sweet aftertaste it can leave in the back of your mouth, but some people love it. The syrupy sweetness and aftertaste isn't as pronounced in the MGT (milk green tea) version. At 50% sweet, I found this drink to be pleasantly sweet with pretty much the right balance of tea, milk, and ice. As for the bubbles, they've got the amazing Kung Fu Tea tapioca recipe on lock here. The bubbles we got were wonderfully sweet and appetizingly chewy. They were fresh with excellent taste and consistency. I can't believe this exists in High Point. Thank you to the franchisees who brought it here. Service was great. We had no issues. However, there is one thing we don't like about this location in particular: You can't use the Kung Fu Tea app to order ahead. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, plexiglass was installed around the counter and dining room seating was very limited. They had only four two-person tables for indoor dining plus a couple tables to wait at for takeout orders. This Kung Fu Tea has no outdoor seating and I don't think I've ever been to a location that has had it.

Poke bowl with spicy salmon, spicy tuna, cucumber, carrots, purple cabbage, edamame, sesame, yum yum sauce, and poke sauce.
Cara A.

I was craving sushi something fierce, and Ninja Cafe/Kung Fu Tea did not disappoint. I ordered a poke bowl, and it was outstanding. I'm already craving it again and want to go back. I ordered the spicy tuna and spicy salmon, and though it wasn't super spicy, there was a small heat to it. It probably would have been spicier if I had topped it with spicy mayo, but I opted for yum yum sauce and poke sauce instead, which were both great additions. I love that I can customize my order, so I can try new things or different combinations. My hubby ordered the spicy tuna and spicy salmon rolls, and said both were really good and had nice kicks to them. As an added bonus, both of our meals came with miso soup, which was really good. Great portions for everything--I got two servings from my poke bowl--, reasonably priced, quick, and they followed COVID protocols, which is always a win in my book. We didn't order drinks, but we will have to check them out another time (which I'm sure will be soon).

Came here today and, ultimately, terrible service. First, no one greeted us as we went inside and there were no customers. That was very disappointing. Second, not all of the workers preparing our drinks were wearing masks. Only 1 out of 4 workers was wearing one. Third, a guy worker literally sneezed on the floor without covering his sneeze. That was appalling to see as he continued to make our drinks. Lastly, we waited too long for our orders to be fulfilled. Major improvements need to be made in customer service as well as what is expected during COVID times. This was an overall bad experience and I hope this review shines light on that.

We ordered this via DoorDash for lunch at work one day. I can tell you the Poke bowl I got was insanely delicious! I'm sorry I'm late reviewing...this was back in April!

I've since moved to Greensboro, so it's been a while, but as soon as I walked through the door and caught a whiff of coffee and their delicious baked goods, I was reminded why this was my favorite coffee shop in HP. Debeen Espresso is a charming, female-owned local gem that combines the art of great coffee with delicious, in-house gluten free and vegan baked goods. From the moment you step inside, the inviting atmosphere and warm smiles from the baristas set the tone for a great experience. I had the pleasure of trying their banana walnut muffin, and let me just say--it was the moistest muffin I've ever tasted. The balance of banana, walnut, and spice was perfect, and it paired wonderfully with my almond milk latte. There's an array of gluten free and vegan muffin and cookie options as well as additional treats (overnight oats, carrots and hummus, etc) in the fridge. It's clear that Debeen Espresso takes pride in not just the quality of their coffee, but in everything they do. The service was fast and friendly and the shop itself is cozy, with plenty of comfortable seating both inside and out. We opted to sit on the outdoor patio, where additional seating provides a chance to enjoy the fresh air while sipping your favorite drink. Adjacent to Debeen is Pure Light Yoga, creating the perfect opportunity to sip, savor, and even savasana--all in one visit. Whether you're there for a quiet moment away or catching up with a friend, Debeen Espresso offers a unique and relaxing space where you can really enjoy your experience. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this cozy spot with its delicious drinks, healthy treats and welcoming vibe.

This is a solid bubble tea joint for High Point.

They have a large variety of drinks from bubble tea, fruit tea, coffee, etc to snacks to eat with it. I particularly enjoy their rolled ice creams as you can order their signature rolls or customize them to your preference. I believe they also serve crepes, but have not had it yet. The shop is small and has seating along with board games that you can play while you are there. The service is ok as well, haven't had any issues with the service. They are quick to get your order to you, but if they are busy it may be a slightly longer wait time which is to be expected. Overall I recommend coming here to get your quick bubble tea fix or to hang out with your friends.
