    Came here the other day to get something light and refreshing. I came around prime time which is usually between 1-3:30pm so do expect a line when coming here. Service was quick and easy as the staff was efficient making the drinks and I paid via the kungfu tea app to get points. It can get pretty lively here and the ambiance is usually in and out with customers due to small space. Love the tea and good price for good bubble tea. Got the passionfruit green tea :)

    Kirby's Fruity Flurry

    Came here to try the new kirby's fruity flurry drink and was terribly disappointed. I had high expectations for this drink but sadly thought it tasted like cough medicine and was super sweet even with 30% sugar. The presentation was cute and all but after taking a few sips I had to throw it away since it tasted so bad which felt like such a waste being that the drink itself was almost $7. My boyfriend got the kiwi punch drink and also opted for 30% sugar and found that his drink was also too sweet. We ordered on the app for pickup and my drink was not ready at the promised pickup time. The cashier told me to wait a bit but even when my drink was ready, she did not hand me my drink though I was right there - I had to ask her for my drink. When I went, I noticed that they were also charging an extra fee (I think it was 50 cents) for card payments in store which I thought was interesting... If you order through the app though - you can avoid this fee! Won't be coming back to this location though I do love other kft locations!

    I would say that Kung Fu Tea is one of my favorite chain boba places where they are always pretty consistent. Unfortunately, this visit or this location was just meh. I ordered my drink with as little sugar as possible, and it came out tasting very syrupy and sweet. When I went back to see if they could fix it, they ripped off the lid, dumped about half of it out, filled it with unsweetened tea and then resealed it. Normally I would have been fine with that but what rubbed me the wrong way was that they made me feel like it was my fault and I should have known to order something else!

    First time coming here. Thought it would be a quick in abs out but was shocked to see the length of the menu. There were so many options i spent 10 mins deciding what to get. They have hot drinks, summer drinks, slushees and teas. Tasted great. Girl behind counter was nice and drink came out quick. Apparently you can order in advance for pickup.

    I asked one of the many server girls that I love, here, on a date. But then I found out how old she is, or isn't, I should say. So we had to cancel. So it's "Young Fu Tea." Jando is right, it's the Starbucks of Bubble Tea. And who doesn't like rapping about Starbucks. Um. What. It makes some of the rivals taste like eating cow DUNG FU It's at the top of the ladder, while you're on the lowest RUNG FU You'll love if you're easy going, even highly STRUNG FU So if you want a Lemon Black Tea, you come to KUNG FU I tasted it and screamed so loud that I collapsed a LUNG FU I carried on screaming and sounded like Angus YOUNG FU They played Sting on the radio, but I'm already STUNG FU By the wondrous Lemon Black Tea they serve at KUNG FU I went to the toilet, opened Snapchat, then I SUNG FU Came back, took my pants off, and the girls yelled "HUNG FU!" In walked Barbie and immediately I'm SPRUNG FU And you should come and get a Lemon Black Tea from KUNG FU! WHAT So I keep seeing girls (and boys) in miniskirts in this location. Now I know why they call it "Sprung Fu Tea." What to get: Lemon Black Tea With Tapioca! Or: All the fruit teas are pretty good, especially if you go off menu and get black tea! Or: Go crazy and order your fruit teas with the very strong Oolong! Or in winter: Any of the hot milk teas! Which milk teas are best: Honey Oolong! Oolong! Maybe Taro or Almond! What else is good: I have a weird obsession with the Milk Tea w/Oreo and Boba. Winter Melon drinks are good too. Even in summer. Gasp. The Kung Fu Fighters are one of my favourite bands. Their biggest hit was "Learn To Fu" but I also really love "Ever-oolong." This is a super cute little Kung Fu tea location with really friendly service, perfectly located in the heart (or rather on the edge of the heart) of Manhattan's Chinatown about two blocks from where little Sammi Puff (the baby cat I found in Queens) hung out for an hour or two while I tried all the different Chinatown stuff before driving her to Stroudsburg and then Buffalo and then all the way down to Houston Texas which is her new home which she loves very much. Did I just digress? But yeah. So for that reason this location has special memories for me, but definitely a great location and super friendly as well and I'll definitely be stopping here on a regular basis. It is tiny and claustrophobic and often busy but that's okay. They have a couple of counters where you can sit, but that's about it. Some posters on the wall (read, all the posters on all the walls from special offers going back years), and like I said - really friendly girls working here. Generally speaking, Kung Fu Tea scores 5, which is a huge compliment, considering that it's a massive international corporate chain, whose milk teas don't match up to the best chains: Sharetea, Gong Cha, Tea Top, and Coco. However, they're still really good, and the fruit teas here are among the best. Especially the lemon black tea which absolutely rocks my world. Total addict. If it's not on the menu, demand it! Other fruit teas (Berry, Orange, Grapefruit) must also be ordered off-menu as Black Tea instead of the meh Green, and some locations won't do it unless you bat your lashes and such. Also the Lemon Black tastes good as a Lemon Oolong, but everyone else hates it that way - because they have bad taste. The one annoying thing about the chain is the corporate office (they're sketchy, and not in an artistic way) and their rule that no drink can have its tea altered (which I often convince employees to circumvent) (because it gives me an excuse to use the word circumvent). Anyway let's get some food to go with our Bubble Teas. I'm feeling kung-ry.

    Large Caribbean Slush drink...so good!!!
    Lee Lee A.

    Update: Their customer service has declined tremendously. They charged me about $6 for a drink that was 95% all milk. They did not care about my concern or tried to do anything to rectify it. I will no longer spend any money here...not even if it was over 100 degrees and I'm thirstier then a lost person at the Sahara desert!!! There's too many good tea places to waste hard earned money here!!!!

    The boba was hard... dang it! It's supposed to be warm and soft! C'mon consistency!!! ‍
    Karen Y.

    Let me not bore you with my on-going Brown Sugar Boba Milk journey... I definitely wanted to try as much of KFT branches as possible. After a gluttony dinner at Grand Seoul, we walked over and grabbed a large Cocoa Cream Wow... this branch doesn't really deliver the goods. The boba was not soft, not sweet and way too much milk, lots of ice. Not my fav. I wish all the branches are consistent however, it's decent enough to quench your craving.

    Thai Milk Tea

    I got an iced Thai milk tea with less ice and less sweet. I do tend to like my drinks on the sweeter side, so I probably should have done the full sweetness but it was still pretty good.

    Kung Fu Tea is such a classic place to get boba. Went with a friend after dinner since we were craving for boba. The tea was good, but there's nothing too spectacular about this space because its what you'd expect for a boba shop. AMBIANCE: Kung Fu tea is a tiny shop! There's a small space in front of the cashier to stand and wait for your order, and theres a small "bar" seating area that can fit three or four chairs. Definitely more of a to go place. PROS: There are so many options you can choose from! At least 30+ drinks that these guys can make so it definitely can satisfy most if not all cravings people have for boba on any given day or night. I opted for the coconut milk tea medium sized with boba and that came around ~$4.60 ish. There are quite a few toppings you can add to your drink besides tapioca balls, and also you can customize your drink to your personal preferences based on the level of sugar and ice in it. I got my drink at 30% sugar and it was the perfect level of sweetness. 50% is usually very sweet. You can watch your drinks get made on the spot at the machine. You can also taste the coconut flavor in it and the consistency was very smooth and not too creamy/milky. A definite plus for me. My friend got the Lychee punch and enjoyed it alot. Since he is a die hard lychee fan anything that has lychee in it will score points for him. Definitely lots of different lychee options at Kung Fu ranging from punches to slushies. CONS: Only complaints is that this shop doesn't accept credit cards. Other Kung Fu tea shops do especially as you move north of Chinatown in Manhattan. OVERALL: Great spot to grab a quick boba or milk tea drink. Lots of options and customization here to personalize your own drink. Definitely affordable place as well, so will recommend anyone to check this spot out.

    Friendly staff, super chill place and the milk tea is awesome! There's seriously so much to choose from. If you like tea, slushees or just sweet things . Check it out, I love the Oreo slush and I'm not a slushee person.

    GRAPEFRUIT GREEN TEA with tapioca PEACH OOLONG TEA
    Melissa P.

    Great fruity drinks! Taste exactly the same as I've gotten at other KFT locations, and sugar levels are what you ask for. We got the grapefruit green tea 70% sugar with tapioca, and peach oolong tea 70% sugar (which has peach bits in it). They have a lot of seasonal drinks and milks teas / slush so there's something for everyone! Honey green tea, milk green tea, hot honey lemon tea, wintermelon tea are all YUM. There's a 50 cent charge for using card. Pretty odd for a bbt store, but cash is king in Chinatown. Covid times: store was quite crowded, a lillll too close for comfort

    I usually come here to get drinks before heading the the D train. Today, we passed by here while heading to the Manhattan bridge and it was open. They only take mobile order, therefore download the app before hand. This makes sense. No one wants to be touching anything unnecessary. KFT Drinks are pretty sweet but I'm a fan of sweet. Even if it's 50% sugar level, it's consider sweet for a lot of people. Funny thing, after placing my mobile order, other people stopped by to get bubble tea.

    Menu
    Nicole S.

    Pricing - decent [$$] Atmosphere - casual, doesn't have room for much seating inside. Possibly enough for 2-3 people Tea - So I opted out for a cold bubble tea & instead went with HOT honey & milk green tea & it was so good! I decided to get bubbles in mine, but I dont think I would do that next time since I had a harder time being able to sip & taste the tea. The customer service was also fabulous despite some other reviews.

    I've had Ten Thousand Coffee on my to-go list for the LONGEST. I finally went for the first time…read moreand there were so many drinks I wanted to try so I ended up buying 3. 1. The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out. I will definitely be recommending the Purple Sweet Potato Latte to all my family and friends.

    The shop was nice and clean and it wasn't too busy when we stopped by…read more I ordered the tiramisu einspänner, which was exactly what it sounded like a generous dollop of tiramisu on top of an einspänner latte. While it was a fun and unique drink, I probably should have opted for something else. The topping was literally like actual tiramisu rather than just tiramisu flavoring, and it felt like there was more ice and tiramisu than latte. Personally, I would have preferred more of the tiramisu flavor without the full tiramisu texture mixed into the drink. That said, it was an interesting concept and I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

    I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
