I generally like Kung Fu Tea at the St. Matthew's Mall, so check it out. This past time, we just ordered drinks that had their Ice amt's mixed up and the Matcha Green Tea Boba tasted very powdery. I wouldn't recommend their Matcha here. The popping boba's are a mixed bag, too: the coffee one tastes good, but their "chewiness" varied in texture. On a positive note, they have neat Pokemon package branding! Our young nephew enjoyed that :) In summary, I'm leaving this review now but will definitely revisit again to revise. read more

I got the passion fruit green tea with mango boba... SLAPS SO HARD- add extra sweetener and raspberry something she put into it. Oooooh yum. My daughters got the matcha with brown sugar boba.... One liked it the other didn't she got what I had instead. They were so so so nice about fixing her a different drink- most places wouldn't even allow it let alone not charge you for it. Cute little shop inside the mall on the Cheesecake Factory side by hot topic and the food court. There's enough lighting and space and some tables with charging stations! read more

I'm so glad this franchise has made it to Louisville! I've had it in other cities and am never disappointed. This location is a kiosk by the food court. There's seating right by it, but it's probably best to grab and go. I got a rose hip bubble tea which was fantastic! I couldn't choose the sweetness level because of a particular ingredient. They do have a good selection of bubble teas and you can choose the amount of ice and sweetness. The staff worked pretty quickly and were friendly. Not sure when I'll be back to this location, but I'm glad our city is getting into bubble tea! read more

Delicous boba that isn't overly sweet if you request them to adjust the sugar level appropriately. I like the taste and texture of the tapioca bubbles, chewy but soft. The Taro slush and milk tea are both yummy. read more

Still my favorite bbtea spot i finally trying some new teas. My go to will forever be winter melon milk tea with bubbles or taro/regular milk tea. I am unhealthy and don't care getting full sugar but if my friends make me feel bad i'll get less sugar and it still tastes fine haha. I am usually nervous to try any non like milk tea flavors but this time i took a chance and tried the rosehip lemonade punch. Omg if you like SOURRR now i understand why they call it a punch, i just thought the name was cute and because of the colors/it being fruity. I love sour so i was fine with it but others justt a heads upp haha. Gotta get all these with bubbles cause it aint bbtea without em! Staff is always very nice! read more

Two weeks ago I passed the Kung Fu Tea kiosk and I was too intimidated to order anything - so many choices! And what the hell are "bubbles"? But tonight I pulled myself together and made a decision 10 minutes before they closed for the night. I thought I'd start with one of their most popular drinks, Kung Fu Milk Tea. I ordered it with 70% sugar, less ice and bubbles. The milk tea itself was delicious. It reminded me a bit of thai tea. I found the bubbles, which are black tapioca, to be distracting. I wanted a good swig of the milk tea but each time the drink was full of bubbles and sometimes clogged the straw. Next time I'm getting my drink without any of the "extras". Less ice wasn't bad but I still wanted it colder, so I personally wouldn't recommend the drink with no ice. My 70% sweetness was nice and I'm going to stick with that. Cup sizes are medium and large. I recommend upgrading to large for only 50 cents more. Quick service tonight - and the lady taking my order was very friendly. She answered a couple of questions for me and I watched her do the same for others. She understood the number of choices could be intimidating. read more

The only thing that stinks about this location is that it's in a mall so before I start this review... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... OPEN UP A SPOT SOMEWHERE IN THE HIGHLANDS, GERMANTOWN, or maybe even NULU. I noticed people checking in and posting pictures of this place on Friday evening(Thanks Mia and Thao). As soon as I saw there was a new boba tea place, I absolutely had to go as soon as I could. There are only a few places to get it in Louisville but none of those places are dedicated tea or boba tea places. So it goes... I decided to stop in here before a party on a Saturday... all during the Saturday before Xmas. Some cringe at the thought of all those shopping people. Me? Worth it! This location is just a box in the middle of the mall. You order your drink which could be in the form of Classic, Milk Tea, Milk Strike, Punch, Slush, Yogurt or a seasonal flavor. From there you choose additional toppings. Those toppings include boba, oreo, pudding, different jellies and different beans. You can even choose your sugar level! Unfortunately, when I got there they were out of boba. That's unfortunate but I can also understand since it's the holiday weekend. That likely won't be the typical experience once the holiday passes. My order: I ordered the Mango Green Tea. Anything mango goes to the top of the list with me. I added mango jelly and aloe jelly. One of the workers even commented on how this drink was delicious. That's always a good sign. While they were out of boba this time around, this mango drink did have chunks of mango to suck up through the straw that made up for it. I'm in love. While this drink was to die for, I also can't wait to go back to have some of their teh susu(Sorry. My Indonesian learning is coming through. I couldn't resist fitting it in this review somewhere). Honestly, they have so many flavors that I think it would be impossible to not find something you love. You can check me(with my picture I posted) but I think they have close to 50 different flavors you can order. It's close to Starbucks in the mall and that location normally has a line. This particular night, people were noticeably standing around and upset that it was taking so long to get their coffee. You guys can keep your overpriced sugary coffee drinks. Give me Kung Fu Tea anytime/all the time. I'll be making multiple trips back to the mall specifically for this place. I'll keep my fingers crossed that one opens outside of the malls somewhere. read more

I'm going to be a total millennial right now. There are not a lot of things that take me to the mall these days. It's not Amazon or Stitchfix. I'm doing the Marie Kondo thing and I don't need any more stuff. With that said, throw in a small exception to go to Dillards to see if I could find more dresses for work. I found what I needed, and then wandered around to see what else was new in this place. I stumbled upon Kung Fu Tea, thanks to Yelp Elite Thao T! The menu was extensive, with so many options and customizations. My favorite go-to drink has been Thai Tea or Matcha. For this first go, I went for Thai Tea with Boba, low on sweetness and ice. It was easy to order, and I waited for a bit in the fancy new seating areas around the space. My drink when ready was heavenly. I have very rarely had good boba, but Kung Fu Tea was something new. This was delicious and so yummy. I guess I have more reasons to go to the mall now. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Bubble Caramel Macchiato - Bubble Tea Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Yeah, Kung Fu Tea did not do it for me. I absolutely hate tea so I was hoping this location would help me find a tea that I would like and it fell flat. I was around the area and saw a lot of people raving about this place so I wanted to try it anyway. It's located within Mall St. Matthews which isn't bad because the mall needs something new but I don't care for the fact that in order to get Kung Fu Tea you have to go to the mall. There are a lot of options to choose from but I went with an Oreo tea. I honestly thought it tasted funny because it was just milk, Oreo chunks, hot boba and ice. It reminded me of a slushie that they forgot to blend. Luckily the prices are reasonable. I see why Kung Fu Tea is popular for some people but for someone that does not care for tea, I probably won't have it again. read more

The more that time goes on, the more that I dread coming to this mall. It's always insane, I've been to the same stores a jillion times, and I usually never find anything anyways. I have never been a boba tea person. I can drink it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it. But when I see my fellow Yelpers checking in and raving about places, I have to go check it out for myself. While Kung Fu Tea is primarily for tea, they have all kinds of stuff on their menu. Punches, slushes...easily something for everyone. And the flavors you can choose from?? Good god, I had to look over the menu for at least 15 minutes to decide. I went with their pina colada slush (Which isn't the slushy consistency you may think of, it's more of a smoothie) and it was sooooo good!! I honestly wasn't even expecting to like it as much as I did. This place is kinda easy to miss in the mall, We were looking for it and walked right past it. It's at a small stand right next to the Dragon Breath place. It's also pretty cool to watch the staff stir whatever the heck is in that giant pot right in front of you. I am already wanting to come back for more...I want to try it all! Heck, I kind of want to try their tea to see if I can be converted. read more

I can't stand their location- honestly, if I'd known they were in the mall I wouldn't have ordered. I haven't necessarily written these guys off but their Earl Grey tea is gross. I absolutely love earl grey tea but this was weird. It was bitter and tasted like they took bergamot essential oils and mixed it with water instead of using earl grey tea..... I love boba so this was disappointing. read more

Ok, maybe I'll save money now and not travel 2+ hours for boba tea. WHO AM I KIDDING?! Kung Fu Tea finally made it move to Louisville. Only place in Louisville that serve decent, true, good boba tea. Boba tea, bubble tea. (Same thing) My favorite so far has to be black milk tea with red bean and egg pudding! 50% less sweet. (Yes you can adjust your sweetness and ice level) You have to add tapioca pearls in it if you want the bubble. It's about 50 cent per toppings. I would love for this to be outside of the mall. This is probably the only reason I walk into St.Matthew. read more

I discovered boba tea almost 20 yrs ago in L.A. I was instantly hooked. I had been wishing and hoping for some good boba to hit this part of America ever since. There's been many pale imitators along the way. I've even had a gringo version made with...gasp...real milk before. That was a real regret. Now we finally have Kung Fu Tea! They specialize in the stuff!! I am so excited to report that this is the real thing! Not only do they use the *correct and preferred* dairy-free creamer, they have many levels of sweet preferences: 0%, 30%, 50%, 100% 120%. They also have many things other than boba you can add to the drink. My milk green tea add boba at 30% sweet was perfect! I'm adding the fig jelly next time! Can't wait. read more

If you've never had boba tea/bubble tea before, you're in luck! Louisville (Finally) just opened a well-known big city chain boba tea location. So what is it? Boba tea and bubble tea are used interchangeably to describe a popular tea based drink that has its start in Taiwan in the 1980s. Freshly brewed tea is shaken/mixed with various fruit flavors and/or milk. Added to the drink are chewy tapioca balls, juice balls (popping boba), flavor jellies, beans, pudding, etc. You can get it with ice or in a slushy form like a smoothie. It's usually served in a clear plastic cup with a large straw, so you can suck out the large chunky toppings and bobas. Kung Fu Tea has the largest selection in Louisville and by far the best tasting in the city. If you are from the big city with many boba tea shops, you will find it lacking. But for us small city folks, this place hits the spot. The prices are reasonable, the staff is friendly (thought still a little inexperienced). I like that there is a large selection of toppings and that you can choose the sweetness level of your drink. Not all flavors are available yet and they might mess up your order because they are still learning. But definitely come check it out! It's located inside Mall St. Matthews, by the food court. It's right in front of Kay Jewelers, near Starbucks. Asians love their boba teas, so it'll be Asian Central for a while :-D read more

It is essential to the welfare and happiness of Brad that this business remains open. We must all go here. We must all get tea. We need to add in boba we need to add fett. We need to bring our friends. We need to bring our mommas and our Bubbes. Stop reading this and go, go now and bring someone you love. Get one for your uber driver on your way out of the mall. I liked the boba as well as I liked any boba I have had other places and in places where boba tea is more prevalent that it would be here in Louisville. If you like boba this will make your day a little better. I also like that it was so quick and the people there so friendly. We don't have enough of quick or friendly, but both? Wow. Seriously though, let's keep them running and Brad happy. GO NOW. read more

Louisville has been craving a good bubble tea place and now we have it. The milk teas are spot on, not too sweet. The service is very welcoming and friendly. I came here when it was their "soft opening" which is basically a surprise opening before the opening and it was not what I was expecting, everyone was brand new and didn't know anything and the teas were unsweet and the bubbles were too chewy and cooked wrong. But i gave them another try today and I am glad that I did. The tea is sweeter but not too sweet it's the perfect amount for people who crave sweetness but lack a sweet tooth. I got the Taro Milk Green Tea with Herbal Jelly, the herbal Jelly is SO good and the tea isn't purple as to be expected but still very tasty. The Mango Jelly Punch is very refreshing, every sip comes with chunks of mango jelly and aloe. They do not skimp of how much toppings they give you! The Wintermelon Tea is a little sweet but still refreshing and very good. One the staples to get when you're here. BUT my all time favorite is the classic Kung Fu Milk Tea and I was not disappointed with how this one was made. Sweeter than the Taro but so much more tastier. I highly recommend all teas but if you are ever wondering which jelly to get you can't go wrong with Herbal because it is not at all sweet so it goes with every drink in my opinion. The size difference is weird bc a large is much bigger than a medium so it's more like a small and a large but the more the merrier! I am glad Louisville has a Milk Tea place now but I hope that we can get one outside of the mall bc I would love to come here without fighting for Mall/Cheesecake Factory parking bc they are located in the Food Court. read more

The bubble tea was delicious but the customer service was bad. They had 7 people working one stand and it took 20 min for 1 drink. Everyone seemed too busy talking and joking around to actually get the orders done. There was a huge line behind me; Good luck to them! read more

I like Kung Fu tea because 1) they have ton of options (tea, punch, non-dairy, iced, blended, etc.) and 2) you can customize toppings and bubbles and 3) you can order it with any sugar level to accommodate for taste. We ordered two drinks and it took a while although no one was in front of us. When we got our drinks, I noticed that there were some weird shaped chunks in the bottom of both our drinks which seemed like it was just not blended well or curdling. It was a weird texture to sip on. Other than that, the jelly I got in my drink was yummy and the tea overall was decent. read more

I been to many KFT all over the US, they're usually hit or miss, but the asian in me always stop in every shop I come by. Do I gotta say this one is one of the best one I been to, small but very good at what they do. I usually go for the mango green tea with boba, jelly, and puddle because how can you go wrong with all that in a cup. This is the best place to get boba in town and best location. read more

I'm currently visiting family and hadn't visited this place since the pandemic started. I was so excited to introduce my niece to this place but the experience was soured since we ended up waiting over 30 minutes for our drinks. We did a quick stop at bath and body works and even after checking out the drinks still weren't ready. The drinks were good but the waiting time was awful. read more

This place is probably my new favorite bubble tea spot. I've ordered from delivery services multiple times and I have to say most of the time Kung fu tea hasn't disappointed. I've had different types of boba tea from them. Some with jellies, some with the actual boba and some with crystal boba. I never really knew what crystal boba was, but after having it from this place I have to say it's my favorite type of boba now. I typically like their milk teas. I haven't been disappointed by any of them. The tea flavor is nice and potent with the milk adding some creaminess. The original milk tea was just okay for me. The Thai tea and taro are very good! Would definitely recommend coming here! read more

I've been a regular for almost a year, I think. Tea's good - I think it's the first time I actually started liking boba. My recommendations are the taro green tea with the crystal bubbles and the oreo slush. Service is usually fairly quick - it takes about 10 minutes for one drink, but sometimes it takes longer (usually during weekends or peak hours). They've rarely messed up any of my orders (save for the occasional ice when I asked for none, whoops). We don't chat much, but the workers seem like nice people. My only major complaint is that their app has a really annoying bug where when I try to order literally anything, it'll say it's not available for the selected time (...even though it hadn't gotten to the part where I select a time), and it'll be like that for the whole day. Which is super weird, 'cause then I order in-person and they can make it just fine. But that's probably not the individual store's fault, seems like an issue on the app developer's end. read more

I think this place is good and consistently so, but since I'm from California where there's a boba shop around every corner, I don't see what the big fuss is. I wish they had their own shop elsewhere rather than in the middle of the mall. The boba is good but isn't enough for me to deal with the parking and the general craziness of the mall. read more

My matcha tea tastes like dirt, and they had no boba. My Child's Thai tea was okay. Our drinks took forever to be made and they cost $7.00. Just go to the bép instead their tea is better and worth the money. You can also get punch cards there read more

After experiencing boba tea at The other tea place in town, this one was pretty disappointing. It tasted a little watery and we had to pay extra for the boba which felt like it was old and extremely chewy. Three stars for the friendly staff though. read more

The best slush I have ever had! I ordered the medium pineapple slush and added the "bubbles" for an extra $.50. My slush was full of fresh pineapple, the perfect summer snack. It was $4.75. My husband ordered the medium Oreo slush with bubbles and his was delicious! His was 4.75 as well. Taste is a solid 5 star but I rated 4 due to the steep price. The bubbles were a little much but overall I enjoyed them. They are good in moderation but it was a bit of an overload in our drinks. It's a fig gelatin mixture. read more

AT LAST! Finally found a place in Kentucky that was a milk tea shop. Yes it's located in a mall, but nonetheless it was something i've been craving. It was a busy Saturday night during the holiday sell and even though they were busy, I didn't wait that long for my order. The Cashier was nice even though they looked stressed. The milk tea and tea were both fresh and not too sweet. First time here and i'll definitely be back. Decent prices as well for drinks as they compared to drinks in the west coast. read more

First legit bubble tea place in Louisville! First of all, I would like to mention that the location of this place is perfect. It's very convenient since it's located inside the mall.

This is by far the slowest boba location I have ever been to. Doesn't matter is there is no one in line or it is several people deep, it always seems to take no less than 20 minutes for them to prepare your drink and that is assuming they have boba ready. You would think that a place specifically selling boba tea would have boba available available entire time they ate open. Not this place though. It is utterly absurd read more

My husband and I went here last Saturday so excited to get boba drinks and we were highly disappointed with our drinks! He ordered the winter melon milk tea w/boba but they made him a coffee drink instead! I ordered the chai milk tea w/boba but it had a very faint chai taste and mostly just tasted like milk. The only thing that was delicious was their boba balls! Since we didn't taste our drinks til we got to the car, we didn't have the time to go back to get our drinks corrected. Please if you decide to try this place, taste your drink to make sure it's correct before you leave! read more

This spot inside Mall St. Matthews near Starbucks has a large menu and was busy when I got there on a Saturday afternoon. Still my drink was made quickly and was pretty tasty. I asked about nondairy options for my milk tea and was told they had a nondairy powder, which ended up tasting pretty good but I can tell the difference from my usual place. They have online ordering and accept Apple Pay, though I did still have to put my pin in. read more

As I strolled through the food court of St.Matthews mall with my friends we laid eyes upon the notorious Kung Fu Tea. We made the decision to order a tea as we had fancied it that evening. I, unsuspectingly, ordered a milk tea with boba and slurped my drink with delight. Later when I arrived home with my friends we spent the rest of the evening in joyous activity, though to my dismay my stomach grew with an ache. The ache continued to grow throughout the night and eventually afflicted me greatly. I had gone to the toilet thinking I could relieve the ache and continue with my night. That was not the case. I placed my bottom upon the porcelain throne and let it loose but the flow was never ending. I sat on my throne and continued to release the flow of my bowels until I realized that it was not coming to a stop. I tried to stand and release myself from the chains of diarrhea but alas they pull me back to my throne. In a desperate attempt to stop the flow I asked for help from my mother, though there was nothing she could do. I helplessly shat myself for the rest of the night. I fucking hate kung fu tea. read more
