My Day Was shot Wash out Unresponsive Anhedonic Moving on Marathon Abject pain Purgatory hell My day was... Don't even ask! I don't want to talk about it! My Day Turn it around Productive Smooth sailing Delightful Enchanting My day was... Smile, it's a brand new day make it what you want it to be! - Tina C. This Kung Fu Tea location was, indeed, a hard find which sits inside a communal food court- Food Gallery 32 at 32nd Street (between 5th and 6th Avenues) in Koreatown, Midtown West, Manhattan, NYC. There is one large aggravated wall pillar/column which blocks the view of the business and its employees. It is accessible via MTA NYC Transit all points of Herald Square vicinity. The negative reviews are indeed verifiable accurate correct, honest and truthful as I also had a similar experience. My desideratum: Peach green tea, medium 100% ice 30% sugar (or less) Herbal jelly (aka grass jelly) No Tapioca pearls (aka boba) Sales receipt My order fulfillment: Peach green tea, medium. The male server/cashier egregious erroneously inputted LARGE which I had to correct him. The ice quantity was very paucity in the smallest measurement. My drink became room temperature during my long-haul subway ride home. 30% sugar. This was fulfilled and the instruction was followed through. Herbal jelly (aka grass jelly). Measly paucity for quantity. This is my only default ultimate favorite topping and this Kung Fu Tea location had to blatantly messed up! Excessively poor performance! Tapioca pearls (aka boba). I did NOT requested this. It was very hard, extremely chewy, intensely sticky for ash heap of starch black aggravated balls. Furthermore, I highly DESPISE Tapioca pearls (aka boba)!! I am a certified Tapioca pearls (aka boba) hater and have no shame to ubiquitously post my opinion. No sales receipt. This male server/cashier is unable to make the cashier printer functioning O/O/O [1], but enable to print the drink label. This male server/cashier did not exhibit any ability to make the printer function nor exercise any empathy or apology. INSTRUCTIONAL MEMORANDUM This male server/cashier is unable to follow instructions. I am the paying customer and did NOT receive what is my desideratum. He automatically ASSUMED that I want Tapioca pearls (aka boba)! No, no, no, no, no, no... absolutely hell NO!! "Corruptor of words." -- William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, Act 3, Scene 1 Mendacious flagrant. There is a high degree of certainty that the staff did not reboot the register, check their internet connection to be offline, or open the printer to see if there is any thermal cash register tape as the cause of non-functioning O/O/O. [1] This brother did not attempt to reboot the register nor did he open the printer to see if there were any register tape. Customer service is egregious below average. He is unable to heed the hope within my mind for my desideratum. My day continued to tank further to abysmal as I unable to turn it around. My body is different, but my heart is fuller. Bye Felicia!

Their drinks are alright. I've gotten their thai milk tea with boba back in 2018 and it didn't taste authentic. But in 2022, I got their green tea slush with red bean AND THAT WAS BOMB! It wasn't too sweet and it was also refreshing. read more

Food (4/5) Cocoa cream WOW milk tea. It was good but too sweet. The boba had good texture and was decent. Service (4/5): Not above and beyond but they took our order and the drink came out reasonably fast. Ambiance (4/5): Inside a large Korean food court in known so tons of options to select from. There are many food options available and plenty of seating. read more

Small space located inside a food court of ktown. There's no seating provided by then but it is inside a good court so plenty of seating there. The entire space is run by 2 workers so the wait wasn't super quick but wasn't too long of a wait either. Workers are nice as well. Got the strawberry yogurt drink with 70% sugar. Would actually like full sugar in this case since it was a bit sour for me. Overall good spot. read more

This is just your typical, no-frills boba tea kind of location. Service is pretty fast despite this spot being one of the most popular and busiest booths out of all the other booths in the Food Gallery 32. Accepted forms of payment are credit/debit or cash. Your order would be ready in about 5 mins, so that's not a really long time or a long wait. Staff seems to be friendly and patient. Now, let's move on to the drink. I've ordered a medium-size Lychee Punch which is basically lychee-flavored jam and real lychee pieces pairing with light green tea. I think the combo actually goes quite well together. So glad that I get to pick no ice & only 50% sugar for the drink customization. Otherwise, it would be too sweet and watered down from the half cupful of ice with only few available sips. That's why it's not wise to get the drink with ice. It tastes refreshing just like a peaceful day in the summer. Would totally go back for the Lychee Punch or other drinks just wherever I'm in K-Town again. read more

The tea gave me a stomach ache. It didn't taste like bubble tea and you could taste the milky powder. I'm not sure if the drinks are old but would not get tea from here. You're better off going to the other 5 places on the street. Also did not taste like Thai tea at all. Service was okay but the cashier lied about $7 minimum for card to force people to get the larger drink and pay more money. Will not be coming back. read more

You can order 120% sweetness at this shop. What??? Lychee jelly was good. They were out of crystal boba though... After the first one, we were hooked. In my boba obiwan's opinion better than Teatop and Happy Lemon in Silicon Valley. read more

Keepin it real out here in K Town With so many new innovative bubble tea places poppin up left and right, I don't see KFT trying hard to compete other than coming up with the same few new flavors that people are expecting. It's running like a business (nothing wrong with that) but can def use some new ideas and better ingredients by now, some real fruits instead of artificial flavors would go a long way - i'm sure you can charge more for it too and people will pay. The K town location is very convenient, one meh experience was when the cashier (older lady/manager) told me 2 drinks minimum if I wanted to use my promo, and i gave in (smh lol), but yea they make their own rules out there, not cool. Will i still go back? may be may be.... read more

Always love going to Kung Fu Tea. My "go-to" drink is Passion Fruit Green Tea with no sugar because I love the sourness. This location is located in K-Town at the food court on the first floor. The food court is always crowded but has a great vibe in terms of where people can hang out and eat various of different Korean cuisine and desserts. You will spot Kung Fu Tea right when u walking passing the ice cream booth. There is usually a line but they are quick with the drinks so don't worry about the wait. They only accept credit card / Apple Pay minimums of $6. So, if u planning to buy one drink either get large or carry some cash with you. read more

This location is located inside the ktown food court. I ordered the strawberry lemonade and I wanted to get 30 percent sugar as I don't like my drinks being too sweet. The cashier told me that I couldn't get the sweetness at 30 percent sugar but didn't provide additional explanation. The lowest he would go was 70 percent sugar. I've never heard of such restrictions at other locations and have always been able to adjust the sweetness to my liking. Also, it does allow for 30 percent sugar in the app for this exact drink. I usually order through the app. However, that day I visited, the app didn't allow me to check out at this location. The drink was very sweet in my opinion for 70 percent sugar and I was very disappointed. read more

I love Kung fu tea so much! I've been coming here for over 5 years. Their tea is so tasty and their syrup recipe is really yummy. I highly recommend the oreo milk tea and taro milk tea.

After having some Korean BBQ, my friend and I wanted something sweet. We decided to get a bubble tea to satisfy our sweet tooth. We got one Chai Milk Tea with bubbles and one Thai Milk Tea with bubbles. Both were very good and is exactly what I expect when I get a bubble tea. I have had some before where the bubbles were not the right consistency, but this place knows what they are doing. They did have a $7 minimum to use a credit card though so that is something to be aware of before you go because when we got there a few people in front of us didn't know and needed to either order something else or get cash. read more

Located inside the food gallery is Kung fu tea. Of course there are many back home but because we were on a time crunch we had to get something quick. I can say we didn't regret it. I got my normal original milk tea with boba and nata jelly. The tea was so fresh and the boba was too. The jelly takes it home... give it a nice smooth rich milk tea and nice textures from the jelly and boba. I believe alll kung fu tea elsewhere is better than back home (sorry) but something about getting bubble tea in New York, Vegas or Houston lol read more

Located inside the food court in koreatown. I ordered a hot ginger milk with boba.They made a mistake and made it cold.The middle aged gentleman was kind enough to notice and change it the hot one.

I'd describe my drink as okay. I got the Oolong Milk Tea with Bubbles through a T-Mobile Tuesdays discount online. The Oolong flavor is there, but the drink also tastes a bit bland (I had no adjustments to sugar). It's a bit heavy on the milk. Service was super quick, so i'd come back if I needed something quick. Either this place or the Gong Cha that's right across the street. read more

I always get a really bad cashier who's nasty or curt when they speak. There is a minimum charge of $7 on any drink unless you pay cash. This basically makes it impossible to order a drink with card unless I order another one. It's a very convenient location, but doesn't compare to other affiliate brand locations. They're always rushing and yelling at u. Also, I had the app, and they wouldn't let me order something even if it's 6.50. Cause the minimum is non negotiable because they get charged 13% on every electronic payment application. read more

I love KFT, especially the Lemon Black Tea. So much so that I often start rapping while sipping. I call it Rasping, or Srirapcha. Like Britney and Tinache, I made you OOH And now I'll introduce you to something NEW I'll give you yummy Boba to CHEW That defines a five-star REVIEW Lemon Black Tea's what I'll give to YOU It has a lot to LIVE UP TO But I know you'll share my POINT OF VIEW Like the 90's web you'll scream YAHOO Palestine will hear you louder then NETENYAHU Who's big on Google but not on YAHOO Crap I just double-used YAHOO Oh well, Altavista's dead, Excite TOO And no, my income tax returns aren't TRUE But like Joey said, that point is MOO So before we get audited by internal REVENUE Let's go and get Boba from KUNG FU! (And let me know please when you're period's DUE) WHAT This Kung Fu tea is inside the Korean market in the heart of Manhattan's amazing Koreatown, and I could make a whole Korea out of trying everything on this amazing street. I wish it opened until later like a lot of the Koreatown stuff does though. Service can be okay or can be iffy, but a couple of the employees are really nice and friendly. The LBT was okay, but I've had better KFT drinks from other locations. It was a little on the watery side but still I'm really glad to have it in here, and because of how friendly the woman working here was, I can just about give it 5 stars, 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! read more

i went in with a friend to buy a medium sized milk tea, when they told me that they only accept cash for mediums and if i wanted to pay card i had to buy a large. what kind of business practice is this?? i've been here several times and do not remember this being the case. if you take card, you have to take card for ALL your items. total scam, do NOT come here!! read more

This location is often hit-or-miss. Sometimes they get it right, other times, not so much. This has been the case on every visit. One consistency is the is the tea is very strong and delicious, it's, but something is always off when you order. Sweetness level, flavor, milk, etc. This visit was no different. I ordered the new Brown sugar wow milk black tea. I've had it at 2 other locations and it has become my summer favorite. It seems that they completely forgot the actual milk that goes in with the milk cap! It completely fell apart into the tea. I ended up with a regular KF bubble tea with brown sugar. The creaminess was non existent, I opted for my usual 30% sugar and it was zero only the brown sugar drizzle. Bahhh! My bf had a strawberry lemonade and loved it! I guess it's better luck next time. read more

This Kung Fu Tea is located inside Food Gallery 32 on the ground floor. There's a $6 minimum to use credit card, and since each drink ranges from $4-5, I had to add a lot of extra stuff to my drink to meet the minimum. After tax, the matcha milk cap came out to $7.17 - didn't even taste great. The lady said that there's usually a 2 drink minimum to order, but she'll impose it on me next time I return. I don't think I'll return. Not sure why this is the only KFT location that has these weird rules/limitations. I like Kung Fu Tea, but will continue to patron locations like the ones in Forest Hills and Flushing! read more

Kung Fu Tea - Large mango slush with boba and mango jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Was never a huge fan of Kung Fu Tea's bubble tea mainly because their teas are incredibly powdery tasting and overly sweet. This particular one is located inside Food Gallery and they're on the right hand side. Went in today ordering a Taro Slush, the girl at the counter was pretty blunt but whatever. It was a busy Sunday and I totally feel for her, would rather be home than working. Anyway my main issue is the tea itself. Just way too sugary and powdery, not mixed very well or enough. I hope to return to try and modify my drink to have less sugar since they give you that option. Not sure how much they put when you say regular but it seems like a lot. Vivi's Bubble Tea is better in my opinion but Kung Fu Tea was closer at that point for me so I went. I recommend trying them out though! They're not my preference but I am always willing to return to try something new. read more

Not always a Kung fu tea fan but I was in the food court, they are usually too sweet for my taste in terms of the milk tea and fruit tea. So I tried their wow milk this time.

I'm addicted to this Kung Fu Tea and there are about 20 of them in NYC. This one's located in the Food Gallery 32, which is an Asian food hall with lots of vendors in the middle of Korea Town. Service is super quick here. Wait time is about 2 minutes after ordering. I was looking forward to the mini bubz in my tea but they didn't have any today! Mini bubz = mini boba. I ordered the Pomelo Tea (trying something different) but didn't realize how good girlfriend's Strawberry Lemon Green Tea was. She always orders something better than mine. Couldn't stop sipping hers so I had to give my Pomelo Tea away for free and get my own Strawberry Lemon. What I like about both teas is that they have real fruit shavings on the bottom along with the boba. Tastes healthy. read more

Review #345 - 2019 After our long walk inside Macy's, I got thirsty and decided that I wanted to grab a few drinks at my favorite tea shop so I Yelped the nearest location and this one happened to be the closest in walking distance. We made our walk over through the wind and rain, just so I can satisfy my craving! We showed up at around 12:45 PM on Tuesday, December 10th, and the place was pretty empty, most likely due to the rain. I had a really hard time finding it because I was looking for a stand alone shop, but it was inside a food court. Since I didn't want to walk back again later, I decided to just order two of the longan jujube drink for myself and two of the kung fu milktea for my daughter. Our drinks were made exactly the way we liked them! The owner was very nice and accommodating! He tried his best to pack the drinks up so that we could transport them back safely to our hotel room, since I didn't have a free hand while pushing the stroller. The location is probably one of the least attractive Kung Fu Tea that I've been to, but service more than makes up for it. read more

Kung Fu Tea - 12/10/2019: We finished the other two drinks while walking back to our room... - Bubble Tea Near Me - New York, New York

AWFUL - avoid this place. Had a very hostile experience today. Cashier repeatedly told me that the credit card minimum was $7. I politely and clearly told her that I had money preloaded on my KungFu Level Up card. She proceeded to repeat two more times to me, "I JUST TOLD YOU ALREADY, WE HAVE A CREDIT MINIMUM, shaking her head and rolling her eyes in my face. When I repeated for a 3rd time that I am using a gift card, she raises the LevelUp reader several times to no avail, slamming it on the counter in anger. Then I noticed she took extra time with her back turned handling my beverage. It looks like she poured out my tea before it was sealed, essentially handed me a milk tea that had maybe 1 inch taken out from the top. I watched the other beverages before mine, all were filled to the top as per usual. When she called out the order and I retrieve my drink, I take it quietly; when I turn and start to walk out, I catch her dead in her tracks glaring at me. Everyone waiting in line witnessed her behavior. read more
