Fresh teas - they steep tea leaves Honey bobas Variety of drinks to choose from These are all I tried so far Yogurt orange - no sugar Yogurt grapefruit - no sugar Honey oolong tea - little honey Oolong tea with sea salt foam - little sugar Matcha milk - no sugar And my go to - green tea or oolong tea no sugar Definitely a must try if you never been read more

This place is a classic. I really like the mango green tea! It's not too sweet with just enough fruit taste!

Great ambiance! The workers are nice and the drinks came out timely. Boba was good enough. I recommend the milk tea

I loved the service here, everything was so yummy and good. This is the best spot in Chinatown

I love kung fu films and as a soyboy I pretend to like caffeine-free herbal tea since I keep getting ads for it on tiktok so I suppose I must have gone into this with expectations far too high. Though my expectations really only had a minute to ferment since I was supposed to meet the squad at Aqua S a few doors down but they were not open yet since they keep banker+ hours, the people in the squad that identify as ladies needed a restroom, and this bidness was open and with bathroom for paying customer so we went here instead. I went to the back of the line since it was my first time here and it was a big menu, so I did what Chris Porter always complained about people not doing at the Starbucks - hang back a second if you are new rather than clogging up the line trying to figure out what to order. I ruled out most drinks since they either had caffeine, looked like they had caffeine, or looked like they had ingredients I could not have. One gripe is no complete ingredient list on any of these so you do not know what you are getting. As a result of not knowing what you are getting, my mango slush did not even taste like mango. It had the aftertaste of pineapple, which is not mango, so maybe the blender had just been used for pineapple before mine and not cleaned out, or they really should have called this old gal the pineapple-mango or just pineapple drank, since besides the slightest slight orange hue there was nothing remotely mango about this. The person I ordered from at the window was not very friendly. I liked that you picked up at the window so it was not further handled. I liked that the plastic lid was tamped down and sealed, and the straw was individually wrapped. The benches were very uncomfortable to sit upon and the table had a sign on it that it was not to be leaned on or something like that which concerned me a little since it was supporting my drink, how much weight on the table was too much weight? Better not breathe on the old gal then, she might collapse and take my terrible drink with her thanks to gravity and other mysteries. The bathroom code was printed on the receipt to keep out the riff raff. So don't throw the receipt out. The slush was just disappointing tbqh familia. Service was not friendly. Atmosphere/ambiance was lacking and on profoundly uncomfortable seating. And worst of all? No kung fu movie being played anywhere in this joint. They got the tea, but where the kung fu at? Two stars; would be vastly improved by a kung fu movie playing on a projector against one of the walls. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Mango slush plus straw, before the straw goes into the bad place. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Walked into an empty store, waited 30 minutes for two drinks. They also have a tank with neglected turtles that look like they are dying. Store also smells bad. Check on those turtles. read more

amazing service known as a regular here and they're always fast and friendly sometimes it can be a bit busy but they keep a calm atmosphere they're not being rude just doing their job read more

Wanted a quick boba fix, and tried the taro milk tea at half sweetness. It was disappointing, and did not taste like taro at all. The sweetness was extremely overpowering, almost like 125%. The matcha milk tea was solid, and very strong. The restrooms here are not maintained well. read more

I have been to this location twice , the manager comes out as rude as well as one worker there , I was was first time trying the drink and I didn't know what to order so I can ask them questions about the ingredients and it seemed like they were not happy to answer me and explain what the drinks contained . I spoke to the manager and told her this and she said she sounds like that cause she's sick but that has nothing to do with customer service read more

they have turtles there for aesthetic and they look VERY neglected and unhealthy, couldnt even sit there for longer than 30 minutes because of how upsetting it was to look at them. service was not great read more

turtles neglected and literally dying in a fish tank there???? this is not ethical at all and the customer service was subpar

Giving them a 1 star because their service is time and time again the worst service I've ever experienced. My sister had to yell at the owner/one of the workers because he was yelling at my mom. First of all, yall messed up 2/8 of our drinks. Which, if the service was good, would be okay. But no, the service was bad AND our drinks were messed up. Definitely not a friendly establishment at all, take your business elsewhere. read more

One of my wife's close friends took us here for a quick drink. I'm not a big fan of boba shops. Still, I have to say that this Kung Fu Tea shop looked quite nice. I had some of my wife's Taro Slush with Crystal Boba. Got to say that it was not bad. She liked it more than I. Next time we are in this part of Houston, I would not mind stopping in again. I liked the location because there were plenty of other places close by to go to for snacks. read more

I got a medium wintermelon green milk tea with boba and it was $6.17 tip options 18% 20% and 22% lol? Asked for less sugar but tastes like regular if not more sugar. Asked for half boba but got full scoop boba. Girl with grey hair and glasses that made my drink was rude. It was just me in the store after paying when another girl walked in and I thought the barista made my drink but instead she snatched it back and said "that's not yours" Probably why no one's here when the plaza is full of people. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

With so many Bubble Tea place in Bellaire, we totally forgot about Kung Fi Tea. We decided to visit it last week and the drinks were so good! There's a reason why Kung Fu is still here after all these years. - Sesame matcha milk with boba (5/5): amazing. Just the perfect balance between matcha and sesame flavor! The drink was super rich and concentrated. You can definitely taste both the matcha and sesame flavors. I added boba which is a nice addition to this drink. Highly highly recommend it! - Grapefruit yogurt (4.5/5): they use actual Yakult in this drink. The drink itself is only 4/5 but they are very consistent in the ratio and the method of making this drink. The grapefruit flavor pairs nicely with the yogurt. Service was phenomenal. The barista was helpful and thoroughly made our drinks. We'll definitely return for more! read more

I'm not sure why this place had such low reviews, because this place did a great job. The only huge knock is that they use an industrial cleaner that smells kinda strong and it takes a few minutes to go away. They had just cleaned it when our friends came in to visit after having eaten at Tiger Den. I always appreciate places that take the time to clean tables and their establishment even if I hate their strong cleaner smell. They had a wide selection for every type of taste bud and boba tea enthusiast and like other places you are able to customize the ice and sugar content. I found it helpful that they placed a star next to popular items, so you could choose something if you were overwhelmed with the options. I did not have an issue with the boba. In fact, ingredient wise, I found it to be refreshing and high quality. My friends all ordered drastically different items, hot drinks, teas, those things that should just be called ice cream in a drink cup and everyone was happy with their drink. I ordered a honey tea with half the sugar and it tasted sweet, but not elementary level Christmas party cookie sweet. Service was quick. Employees were helpful. I would come back again if I was in the area. read more

The staff is super friendly. I like the decor, which is very Asian and unique . The drink is kind of sweet for me, but the boba is delicious. I will come back to drink more. read more

So, I am not a fan of tapioca or boba. I decided to give Kung Fu Tea a try when I happened to be in one of the grocery stores the other week. Let's just say if Kung Fu wasn't so far from home I would possible drink one every day. Their tapioca pearls are not hard and extra chewy like most. It was very flavorful. That Oreo Wow is the go to for me. Service is fast. This is a nice place to have a meet up with a friend. I will definitely return. read more

Their drinks are Ok but the service is awful. Especially the girl who took the order. I'm not a bobba person so obviously I'm a bit loss in the process of ordering. There was nobody in the store during a weekday and oh boy she wasn't patient on taking the order. Just so the management know there are tones of bobba tea nowadays that maybe you should consider retraining your staffs. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I know some people hate on Kung Fu Tea, but I think the quality sometimes varies from store to store! This store has been good to me and I think deserves some love :) Their boba is always pretty reliably good. Their drinks also pretty reliably good. I like how they are always coming out with new flavors too that keep you going back. I usually get their honey oolong milk tea, 25% sugar, no ice and it's been a real solid for me. However recently, I discovered their sesame matcha drink and it is so good!!! So creamy and the flavors are all there are so great. Would 100% recommend - no other place has this flavor which makes it such a great addition. Please continue to come out with new and great flavors, we love to try them! read more

So if you think your life is now over And your gf won't let you disrobe her And you ask what I think Just come get a drink Kung Fu's Lemon Black Tea with Boba! Top Boba in Chinatown, some of my fave employees ever. Deserves 300 stars out of 5, not 3. Raptime. So it's been 10 minutes, and I'm DUE For another Lemon Black Tea from Kung FU So now I'm going to (try and) rap for YOU And if it really really sucks, just howl and BOO So if you and your bf are just about THROUGH And you need something (someone) to DO Let me show you exactly how my legend "GREW" And all the urban myths about Boba Bae are TRUE Just be glad that your sister never KNEW What we did, or chances are, she'd want me TOO It's time for us to do it like they Do The DEW And I'll stick atop you like GORILLA GLUE There will be no taming of this SHREW And Daddy might get angry (Shakes Spear) at YOU So come on, I'll be the driver, you the SCREW You the river wild, me Meryl's CANOE Me Roger Daltrey in Buddy's Song, you the WHO You Houston Chinatown, me Ann/Tammy/LOU I'll be the muscle dude, you be Barbie's stripper SHOE You be Katy Asian Town, me KATHMANDU What why?

WHAT Get: Lemon Black Tea w Tapioca! Or: I have a weird obsession with the Milk Tea w/Oreo and Boba. Winter Melon drinks are good too. Even in summer. Gasp. Wanted to take off my pants, didn't (would've been Hung Fu Tea) Pretended to be a Turtle instead (Kowabunga Fu Tea) Then needed surgery (Collapsed Lung Fu Tea) I was judging this place slightly unfairly (as do many). Reviews in an authentic Chinatown area (which this is) will be much more critical with lower ratings, than reviews in suburbs etc, which is why crap places get 5 stars and this wonderful KFT gets 3 average. Also 90% of boba shops (especially new ones) write masses of fake 5* reviews, many Yelp does not filter. This KFT does not, so their reviews are either real, or fake 1* written by rivals. Pretty ugly stuff. That just makes me love this KFT more. One of the few KFT locations that usually makes a perfect LBT. It's a little sweeter and more consistent at their Montrose location but very good here, and I come here most nights - so I recommend it highly. The blue hair girl is one of the friendliest employees anywhere. Knew me from the internet, treats me amazingly, and her other regulars too. I'm good friends with the adorable twins (sooo friendly), and 3 guys here that also work at the Montrose location, all wonderful to me every time I come in. They know my order, they ring it up ahead of time. Yes some of the signs are abrasive and aggressive, and I saw the big boss yelling at his employees once or twice which was gross, but he's hardly ever here, and his crew are some of the friendliest, loveliest and most genuine bunch of Bobapeople not just in Texas, but in the country. One of our faves for Boba. 5*for the lovely Boba shop, 10* for the perfect lemon black tea, and 15 stars for the nicest employees around. I made a singing vid in the bathroom (Sung Fu Tea) But I don't get beans in my drink (Mung Fu Tea) And I asked "what's past tense of I Bring Kung Fu Tea?", they incorrectly responded "Brung Fu Tea." You can be my Britney cause I'll make you OOH When I introduce you to something NEW I'll give you my sexy Boba to CHEW And you'll see why everyone gives me a 5-star REVIEW I am certain that you'll share my POINT OF VIEW If you're a dictator then this Boba is the COUP A Lemon Black Tea's what I'll give to YOU And like the 90's web you'll scream YAHOO (or Altavista maybe) Palestine will hear you louder then NETENYAHU Who's famous on Google but not on YAHOO Crap I just went and double-name-dropped YAHOO But whatever, Altavista's dead, Excite TOO It's getting harder every day to figure out what's TRUE Trump doesn't pay taxes, but what Billionaires DO? But you and I will be the targets of INTERNAL REVENUE We'll be dragged away by moonlight while our kittens MEW And if you're over on the right wing, you're acting like a FOO You sound like Joey Tribiani, and your point is MOO But if you're on the left wing, you're delusional TOO So let's make peace by getting Bubble Tea from KUNG FU!

Picked up some bubble tea on a grocery store run yesterday. Kung Fu Tea is probably one of my favorite bubble tea places because their drinks aren't too sweet (I always lower my sugar to 30%, but for some places, 30% is still too sweet and the other option is 0%). They always have a wide selection of menu items that are all pretty good. I particularly like their matcha strike (the matcha flavor is very authentic and good compare to other matcha milk teas), honey oolong milk tea (the honey flavor really comes through and is a nice addition to the fragrance of the oolong), and red bean wow milk! Would definitely recommend trying any of those out. Additionally, they're constantly adding new things to their menu. I recently saw that they have a new matcha sesame drink that I will definitely try next time! They're also good about following social distancing with markers on the ground indicating 6 feet away! read more

Kung Fu Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

It's not an unusual thought, but when you've visited many variations of the same thing (in this case ... Kung Fu Tea locations) one expects similar experiences. That's how consistency via franchises work, but somehow this Houston version wasn't at all what I was expecting. There is definitely better bubble tea in town. But that doesn't make this place one to skip. One thing they've got going for themselves is the spacious interior. There are plenty of tables and lots of room for big groups to drink, mingle, and even play a board game or two. It is also an ideal place to get some work done on the laptop. The drinks are pretty standard for KFT, but I would always keep an eye out for the specials. Taro milk / slush still has my heart, but I am always looking for something new. Prices are solid as well and they take credit card here. Service could be better. I know they have to deal with crowds often and all but I've experienced a bit of 'tude from the staff more often than I would want. Occasionally I've received the wrong drink and have had to dispute it on the spot. Hence, come for the drinks and bring good company. read more

After barely 1 hr of sitting inside on my laptop IN A TEA SHOP the owner is in my face begging the question "Are you a customer?...this isn't a Mcdonalds" AKA you need to leave if you ain't buyin. No one is trying to milk your stupid business. I come to China Town all week purchasing desserts and Bubble Teas. You sir, are a brainless manager and I'll go next door to give them my business because you lack tact and wisdom. What fool walks around questioning people in one of the busiest shopping centers in Houston? Chasing away people. Now enjoy my honest review, learn to be better, or just sell your shop and go work in a McDonald's where your nasty manners won't matter so much. (: read more

I had never had bubble tea I couldn't finish until I had the sesame slush at Kung Fu Tea. It doesn't taste at all like sesame. Kung Fu used to be known for its boba and I'm not even sure that's special anymore. The service at this location has always been atrocious so that doesn't garner them any more stars. The best sesame shake I've had is actually at Shake Shack (summer special). It almost saddens me that an Asian tea shop got snub-nosed by Shake Shack on sesame. If anyone has a recommendation on a bubble tea place for a sesame smoothie, please let me know. read more

It's all because of Fox E. I never thought about going to Kung Fu Tea to relax or socialize with drinks. But he went all over the country searching for the Kung Fu master, I guess. I have seen many Kung Fu Teas in town but nothing interests me. Because this one in Chinatown is closest to my house, I decided to give it a chance. I was here when it first opened at this location. Not sure why people complained about this and that. So, it was just a meh with my milk tea and few dozen of sweaty people on a Friday night. Years gone by, I was here to celebrate its 5th anniversary with Derrick C. He ordered pomelo boba tea with their buy one get one free thrill. The candied fruit 柚子 tasted so good. But I could not find it on the menu. Just recently, I stopped by on Wednesday to search for it. Since the place was empty, I took my sweet time to learn the menu items. I still don't know what attracted Fox to go to every Kung Fu Tea restaurant on the US map. The staff was very candid with my inquiries. She even showed me the secret ingredient behind this delicious drink. So I ordered it with low sugar. Awww. My. Gawd. That was not the taste I expected. Give me sugar. Give me sugar. No, give me water. Never mind, I threw it away. Kung Fu Tea often changes flavors. I didn't like how single topping was not free. The tapioca balls are not tasty when it costs pretty pennies. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm always amazed by huge selection Kung Fu Tea offers. If you can't find what you want on this menu then maybe boba isn't for you. I usually get coffee boba so I tried the Coffee Wow Milk Cap with boba. Their coffee typically isn't too strong but the milk cap made of nice and creamy. My husband ordered the Cocoa Cream Milk Cap, he's a huge fan of milk cap, which tasted very good and chocolatey rich. We also had a small strawberry pastry with tasted very custardy and semi sweet. The service isn't the best compared to other boba places, they always seem kind of rushed. Might be because of the expansive menu. We also aren't fans of how the cups are shaped. It seems there's less volume in these compared to other places but I could be wrong. Inside isn't too fancy but good enough for just getting a few drinks and leaving. read more

I stopped by today due to having a coupon from T-mobile. I usually go to the other competitors. Walked in the place was empty. No greeting or anything, they guy behind the counter just stared at me until I ordered then it seemed like he got an attitude when I asked how to use my T-Mobile coupon he walked away and another person finished my transaction and as you would have it the T-Mobile coupon didn't go through. I told him and he acted like he could careless and walked away. When I got my drink Kirby's Fruity Flurry it tasted like cough syrup, a waste of $6.44. read more
