Kung Fu Tea - OREO Slush and Lychee Black Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - National City, California

Wintermelon Milk Green Tea - 10/10 Such a simple but tasty milk tea flavor, it is truly one of my favorites here at KFT and the best Wintermelon Milk teas you can find around San Diego. I added herbal jelly and it had the most perfect texture with subtle herbal flavour. Truly a favorite in my books. Service was quick and ambience was chill as always. Theres never a wait when I come here. read more

Kung Fu Tea - KF Milk Green Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - National City, California

I disliked the National Boba Day promo. Not much a celebration when you have to buy three selected drinks (no non-milk tea options) just to get a plushie. Either offer it for free or option to buy like GongCha. I didn't like they gave a plushie to someone that didn't order milk tea right in front of me! I kept it to myself but thought it was rude to then tell me I had to order 3 drinks. Service wasn't terribly friendly but ok. Not coming back to this location. Had to ask to separate hot food from my cold drinks which they did. They do have great selection of other drinks and the food options are very good and reasonably priced. I was a huge KFT fan for the KM loc on Convoy where they always had lines for a good stretch. But they couldn't compete with all the newer boba spots and closed. read more

Music is a vibe!!! Ordered a coffee milk tea with an extra espresso shot and a spam musubi for about 10/11 bucks. Not bad. Small parking lot but never too busy. There's also a massage spot right above that is to die for!!!! Very clean and spacious inside. The young lady working the counter was so nice and was running it allll by herself so come on in and get some boba and tip her good!! She was fast and on point! read more

I live around the area and have never thought to try this place, I'm dying to come back already. I ordered the strawberry matcha cream and drank it before I even got home. Instantly regretted not ordering the large size! My melon green tea was tasty too, i love the taste of fresh iced tea. Their menu was extensive and offered many delicious flavors. The part I loved the most was the menu guide to the add-ons you can have in the drinks. It gives you a description of the toppings and what can go with them. The employee was kind and helpful with my questions, I can't wait to come back and try different drinks. read more

Tiny parking but every time I've been here I'm able to get a parking spot. Currently they have the Pokémon collab! They come in a special cup with a collectible straw topper! Not my favorite tea spot but still good! Got the karage which was kinda extra for the smallest 5 pieces I've seen...but omg the chicken was juicy and moist and so good! The best katana I've had because I don't really like them dry. Overall I'll be back even in the area. They're short on straw toppers so one per order! read more

We love Kung fu tea and so happy they are down south now. Before we would drive to Clairemont just to get our boba fix. Spacious and staff is always nice. Parking lot is kinda weird but we never have trouble finding a spot. There's always something available. Plus, they have snacks and food too! Great place to study and just chill read more

I placed a DoorDash pickup order and the order was ready in about 15 minutes. We ordered 6 drinks but I personally got the s'mores slush drink. It was good but the marshmallow texture was weird in it. read more

I took one sip of my drink and hated it. I went back inside to ask them to remake it and they told me they wouldn't. For more details, their Matcha Lucky drink tasted too much like honey dew and it was super gross. I only took one sip and couldn't drink anymore. Im shocked they didn't want to fix my drink, since most places are willing to adjust your drink. I paid 9 dollars for this one drink and they can't even adjust it. read more

I loved the drinks here but after seeing how poorly the management is on their staff it's hideous. I witnessed the manager being rude and blunt to what appears to be new trainees. We all start somewhere and some places just have a pace some can't grasp quickly, especially if you're trying to learn every single drink in a short time while catering to the abundance of customers. Management needs to have some patience with their valuable staff members. read more

Perfect. I love it. I would give all the stars. Great service. Nice and quick workers. Prefer this one to the others

I love their Matcha! I love that you can adjust sweetness, I usually get 30% sweetness. Parking in the lot can be a challenge but street parking is usually available. Use the app to get points and free toppings, drinks, and special offers. read more

Worst service I've experienced. I've ordered from Kung Fu Tea many times, and this was the first time I ran into an issue like this. At 8:52 PM today, I placed an order through the app and my girlfriend went to pick it up. When she gave my name, the employee at the front responded with an attitude and insisted on seeing an order confirmation or screenshot. That is not standard practice at other Kung Fu Tea locations. We have never been asked for that before when providing a name for pickup. It felt unnecessary and unprofessional. On top of that, the drinks did not taste like what you would expect from a Kung Fu Tea franchise, and not in a good way. We also requested 30 percent sugar, but it seemed like that was completely ignored and the drinks were made at full sweetness. Overall, this experience was disappointing. Between the poor customer service, incorrect order, and inconsistent quality, we will not be returning to this location. read more

First time around. I ordered Oolong Milk Tea HOT. Came out perfect. Second time around. I ordered the same drink, but was denied and told "... stove warmers are being used for something else." I then opt for the iced Oolong Mill Tea. It was good. Third time around. I ordered the same drink (Oolong Milk Tea- Hot). I was then told "hold on let me check... oh sorry our stoves are being used for something else." I again, settled with the iced oolong milk tea, unfortunately. It is what it is. I just hope they figure out a way to make HOT drinks while using the stove for "something else". I will definitely come back and hopefully they'll fix it. read more

It was lonely when we arrived, we stumbled here because we saw a BOBA sign. I was unsure what to try so I went with a mango green tea. It was decent 4/5. I asked about the matcha (what I initially wanted) but they were not very knowledgeable about their own items. Maybe I'd come back again if I'm in the area but would also try a different spot. read more

They put honeydew when I asked for none, I asked if they could remake it and they told me since I already had some they couldn't. $9 down the trash for one drink. Don't come here. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Disgusting Cocoa Cream Wow - Bubble Tea Near Me - National City, California

I came in today bc it was next to the nail salon I love so much and had an appointment. I ended up ordering a pina colada slush and I wanted to make it a strawberry pina colada. The young girl called her manager on her cell, who told her no. I ended up talking to her, who still refused to sell me this for some reason. I had to basically ask if I could simply get the strawberry syrup on the side to pour into the drink myself since they refused to do it. They over charged me and made it as difficult as possible for me. I'd skip this one and go to SD Boba Bar! read more

KFT is a go to and the best spot considering the area. I would choose Kung Fu Tea over any boba shop here because it does seem to remain the most consistent. I've come to enjoy their Lychee Thai Milk Tea lately and Honey Oolong Milk Tea. They have the best Winter Melon Green Milk Tea in my opinion and this applies to all of the stores I've been to. Service is friendly and they work fast to make everything, but I also order ahead on the mobile app to pick up immediately to achieve no wait. Overall, this location is much smaller than the ones I've been to, however, there is enough seating. This parking lot scares me a little with how awkward the slopes are, so just be aware of that. read more

Greeted by a delightful young man as soon as I entered the shop. He was very personable and informative. The shop is in immaculate condition as far as cleanliness. He wanted me to be sure that customers know there are 3 new choices of "milk / non-milk" add-ins. My boss wanted the Thai Tea with milk and Boba which she loves so that was our purchase. In and out quickly as he is efficient. I have nothing but good things to say about this business! Thank you so much Kung Fu Tea! Will return often! read more

I would have to say KFT has the best boba drinks in this area. My go to is the Wintermelon Milk Tea. It is consistent with other locations and have a great selection of toppings. I never had a problem with their service. Also greets us and acknowledge if they need a moment. I never have to wait long for any of the drinks. It is a smaller location then others so don't expect to hang out here with a big crowd. Not their fault but the parking lot is oddly built on a slope. The entrance to come in through Plaza Blvd is a little big awkward. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Cocoa Cream Wow Milk Cap and Winter Melon Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - National City, California

I love Kung Fu tea. But I am pretty disappointed since I was very much looking forward to my drink since I haven't gotten boba from them in a while. It was probably my third sip into the drink (as you can tell in the picture, I didn't get that far) and I felt a different texture in my mouth other than the boba and the drink itself. I pulled out a piece of long, black hair. A very unpleasant surprise. And I definitely know it wasn't mine because my hair is bleached. To prevent this in the future, it would probably be best to have workers with long hair to wear a hair net. I saw that they had their hair tied back but if a hair was able to get into my drink then that alone isn't enough. read more

Inside: clean and cute Cashier: friendly and nice Tea barista: didn't pay attention to details. The store wasn't busy, but she messed up my drinks. How difficult is it to serve a medium size oolong tea with no sugar? :D The other one is oolong milk tea with less ice, no sugar. I split out what was in my mouth because it was loaded with sugar, tooo sweet! I give the person in charge at the time credit for replacing another cup without sugar. read more

I've been to this Kung Fu tea many times but got something different today. I tried the mango slush with 30% sweetness and mango jelly. It wasn't too sweet but the ice wasn't as blended as I wanted it to be. The drink also took awhile because there were several orders and only 1 bobarista making drinks. Although we had to wait a bit for drinks I would still come back for the convenience of living nearby and the variety of flavors offered. I think I'll go with a milk tea or fruited tea next time I visit. read more

Beware if you are ordering through app as they won't help you if there's any problems with your order. We've been a Kung Fu Tea customer for years and we love it. We've been to many different locations without any problems but this location is an exception. Our first time ordering from this location and it was a bad experience. We ordered through the app because of the 4th of July deal and since the Kung Fu Tea near our place is closed, we ordered to pick up at this location. Unfortunately when we placed the order we didn't get the buy 2 get 1 free deal so we called right away and asked if they could cancel the order so we can fix the order. They said that they can't cancel the order and it has to be on the app or we have to call our bank. So we went to the location and talk to the staff and they called their manager and we waited awhile to be told that they can't do anything about it since it's an order from the app. All we wanted was cancel the order so we can reorder to get the 4th of July deal. The reason we got Boba is because of the deal and we drove far and waited awhile to be denied of any help. It was a really bad experience and inconvenience so I'm rating this location 1 star. read more

Don't come for me! Hands down Kung Fu Tea is my favorite boba spot in all of SD! My go-to drink is the wintermelon milk green tea and I get boba as my topping. I can't even put into words the mouth watering goodness flavor that is wintermelon milk green tea. The boba is always perfect, never too hard but never to squishy either. Kung fu tea has free Wi-Fi and they have tabletop board games so it's the perfect spot to hangout and work or play games with friends. Kung Fu Tea has a mobile app where you can earn "bubbles" for each purchase which can be redeemed for a free drink. Mondays-Thursday's in the app they offer special promos. Every Monday is free toppings. Tuesdays is the mango series BOGO. Wednesdays you can get a free size upgrade. Thursdays earn double bubbles if you order the cocoa cream wow drink. Any Kung Fu Tea location I have visited, I have always had a good customer service experience. They can get busy but you can call ahead and order over the phone so that your order is ready for pick up when you arrive. Each store location is always very clean and presentable. Go visit your nearest Kung Fu Tea location and get your bubble tea ASAP! read more

The milk tea that I ordered today at Kung Fu Tea in National City was over sweetened, as a result the taste was sappy and syrupy. It was so inappropriate when the sales person has responded negatively to my suggestion indicating that it was my responsibility to ask the amount of sweetener. But it must be properly measured to taste better, but not sappy and over sweetened milk tea which was obviously unpleasant taste, not normal, which could turned to be unhealthy to be consumed by children and senior citizen. I don't really care if you want your business to be a successful, but the quality of product and the attitude of the worker makes a big impact on your business as well as to the health risk of diabetes. read more

Tucked away in a tiny strip mall in National City, this place can easily be missed. I was aware of this chain from a cousin of mine who had worked in the Kung Fu Tea in Kearny Mesa. I've always loved the boba teas and the unique flavors that they are known for. I happened to be in the area, so my daughter and I decided to stop by for a refreshing drink. While perusing the digital menu, I was intrigued with the Sesame Matcha. I was hesitant at first because I wasn't sure if the flavor combo would work together, but I decided to be adventurous this day. It did take awhile for the drinks to come out, with mine being last. I tentatively take a first sip and was blown away with how delicious it was! I loved the roasted sesame taste coupled with the creamy matcha. It wasn't too sweet and I had to remind myself to take a quick pic before I finished it all! Definitely a new fave of mine. read more

I'm a regular at this KFT location and had never experienced any issues with service or drink quality but my most recent trip was enough to turn me off from ever spending a single dime here again. I ordered two large drinks, in person, not over the app, so the cashier/barista working both rang up my order and prepared my drinks. There weren't many customers inside, which likely reduced the wait time a bit but I did notice my drinks were done a bit faster than usual. While driving away with my drinks, no more than a block away from the store, I had to hit the brakes pretty hard to avoid a collision and both drinks toppled out of my cupholder. If you're a frequent boba connoisseur, you know most places use a neat little machine that seals the lid of your drink shut with a piece of plastic so it stays closed and secure so you can avoid spillage. Ironically, one drink ended up all over the floor and the (properly sealed) one remained intact and unharmed. Regardless, accidents happen, right? No biggie, I'll call the store, let them know what happened and ask to see if they can replace the drink *they* didn't properly seal just 10 minutes ago. Nope. After spending almost $15, I was told I had to purchase a new drink if I wanted it replaced but I could have 20% off (one whole dollar, wow!) because quote; "We don't want to lose money." Additionally, despite being in the store less than 10 minutes before I came back, my word was taken as dishonest and I was asked to show the now trashed, tea soaked receipt or to bring in the cup as "proof of my purchase." This was all negotiated via text messages between the barista and the manager because the manager wasn't even physically present in the store... I tried to call back and leave my name and number so I can speak to this nameless manager directly, and the barista had the gall to ignore my calls since she recognized my number. Funny how the phone suddenly wasn't busy and she picked up after I called using a different phone number. Sounds like a severe lack of accountability to me. I'm shocked and appalled at the utterly poor customer service at this location- especially toward a regular and loyal customer. Judging by the other recent reviews, I'm not the only one noticing how despicable the service is. I'd imagine a business would end up losing more money in the long run when customers stop coming after you treat them like crap, than it costs to replace one $5.00 beverage. Do better. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Sesame Oolong Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - National City, California

Im really sad to be writing this because Kung Fu is mine and my coworkers favorite place to get boba. We get it from here multiple times a week. Today we did our usual order from Uber Eats since we can't leave the office. When we got it, the drinks were very sour and gross. Usually I wouldn't have said anything and cut my losses, but we paid $50 for 3 drinks. We always pay $10-15 for a delivery fee when we could pay less for somewhere closer because we love it SO MUCH. Sinfe we are loyal customers and paid a lot of money for drinks we didn't like, I called. The manager got put on the phone. She told me that no one had picked up our order yet, but they obviously had because we were drinking them. Then she said she made them herself so there's no way they could be bad. I told her that's fine but it just tastes sour and we'd like a refund because all three of the drinks tasted like that. She then proceeded to call me a liar and said that she hasn't received any other calls from customers complaining so she knows I'm wrong. I asked her if she believed in customer satisfaction. She said yes, but no one else has said anything to her so I'm wrong and there's no way I could be right. She also said if I had just told her I didn't like the drinks she would've given me a refund, but since I basically lied, she wasn't going to. I told her that didn't make any sense and that we didn't like them either because they were gross. She said if I didn't like them, to never come back. I told her she was rude and hung up. I just can't believe the customer service. I've worked in the food industry before and I have never called a customer a liar. We have never had an issue and bring them so much business, but from now on we won't. If this is the kind of customer service they preach at their location, I will do what the manager said and go somewhere else. I'm really sad about this and hope that the management doesn't treat the next loyal customer this way. read more
