This bubble tea business Kung Fu Tea is one of my better patronized experience. This location is in Washington Heights, New York, NY on Broadway between 170th and 171th Streets. It is accessible via MTA NYC Transit A train either at 175th Street or 168th Street stations and followed by a brief walk. I purposely chose 175th Street subway station because I verifiably hate 168th Street - A train subway station due to the as its lengthy underground passageway labyrinth of corridors in many blind spot twists, turns and the three (3) large cattle elevators are eternity slow to arrive for access to the street level. In the past I was a victim of a physical assault while making a transfer from the A train to 1 train at 168th Street in this underground passageway labyrinth. Customer service is attentive, friendly and welcoming with accurate order taking and including order fulfillment. Peach Oolong tea, medium $6.00 herbal jelly half sugar 50% more ice My drink was delightfully refreshing as I needed something to conceded a grinding work week to commence a long holiday Labor Day weekend. I actually taste the Oolong tea. My favorite default topping grass jelly (aka herbal jelly) loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my standard request for $0.75 which was good, but not served chilled. The herbal jelly was blatantly measly paucity for quantity. One word: frugal!! The ice quantity was very paucity in the smallest measurement, amid my request for more ice. Indeed, my drink became room temperature during my long-haul subway ride home. The ice melted entirely during my long-haul subway ride home. Price is reasonable for my drink order. There is indoor limited seating with functioning air conditioner. read more

I love this King Fu Tea a lot! This is the only Kung Fu tea that serves poke bowls that you can customized! I found out about this through Seamless and Grubhub back in the day when I used to live here. It's unlimited toppings for 1 fixed price! I always got the 2 meat poke bowls with the raw salmon and spicy salmon. The salmon was always delivered fresh! Very pink and creamy to the touch! They packed it with lots of brown rice too! Food always came in a brown paper bag with my bubble tea! Bubble tea was always iced, large, and 0% sugar with boba that was fresh and soft! read more

3 stars because I only liked the tea and the service. I didn't like the boba, which is kind of the whole point of a boba shop in my opinion. I came here for the first time recently and ordered a lychee black tea with boba. At first sip, I felt something was off: there was popping boba in my drink, not regular boba! Not a big deal, the staff were understanding about this and remade my drink for free, which I very much appreciated. After I got my hands on the correct drink, I regretted it. I wish I just stuck with the first drink with the popping boba, it tasted better than the regular boba LOL. The boba pearls were so hard and not soft and chewy. I disliked them so much that I proceeded to avoid consuming the boba pearls and only drink the tea. Still, boba options are limited in the area so I will probably be back at some point the next time I have a craving. I'll probably try a different topping than regular boba though lol read more

Had a hot taro milk tea with tapiocas. It was delicious. The strong taro taste means they didn't cut corners. The tapiocas were chewy. The place is clean. Both the cashier and the staff member who made my drink were friendly. Great service. Will definitely come back! read more

This location is just north of the Columbia Medical campus. It's fairly spacious inside, but all the tables were pushed to the side so there's no seating and it is take-out only. It could have been a little cleaner inside, but for to-go it was fine. The drinks were made quickly and there are a lot of ways to customize your drink like choosing the amount of ice or level of sugar. A large tea (no milk) with bubbles was $5.70 ($6.21 after tax) which is about average for the city. read more

Really disappointing. I ordered delivery and the menu photos are very misleading. The tea was more like a cup of plain milk with some boba at the bottom. Look at my photos to see what I ordered vs. what I got. read more

Hi I'm never one to review things. In this case I have no choice but to this. Today I decided to come here to enjoy a wonderful meal with my husband . We decide to eat in the car and while my husband is eating he chews on something that is a little hard to chew on . Guess what it was???? A raw tip used for smoking in his food!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this place but unfortunately I can no longer give them my business that was one of the sloppiest things I've ever experienced with a restaurant !!!!!! read more

Kung Fu Tea - Raw tip filter in the food which was previously in someone's mouth - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

They recently opened up which may explain the kinks they need to work out. The biggest one is the ordering set up. They have a separate cashier if you're ordering drinks and if you're ordering a poke bowl. If you want one of each...tough luck, you have to wait in line twice, even though the same person is operating both cashiers. I got the preset poke bowl which came with tuna, salmon and shrimp. Although it was expensive ($13) the portion size was generous. The crunchy garlic on top went perfectly with the bowl. I also got an oolong milk tea with bubbles. The boba is soft and chewy. The oolong flavor doesn't come out but this is consistent across all Kung Fu Tea chains. Still a nice treat and I'm glad they've opened up! I just hope they work out a better ordering system. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Poke Bowl (preset combination) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

The opening of this store came with great fanfare because we have all been severely bubble tea-deficient up in Washington heights. It took more than a month from when they opened until they actually have bubble tea. I ordered a poke bowl with the build your own option and a classic milk tea with bubbles. The poke is good, but taste-wise is in the same league as the other poke place in Washington heights. The bubble tea is good and pretty similar to other stores in the Kung fu chain, with chewy bubbles with a hint of honey (my fav out of all the bubble tea chains out there). You can tell that the staffs are new and in training because they took a long time to make the drinks. Because of that, there is a sign that says if you are not satisfied with what you get, they will remake it. I was satisfied with mine, but my friend wasn't and she was able to have another one made to her liking. The store itself is pretty spacious and clean, with a few tables for customers. Overall I am happy that I now don't have to travel downtown for bubble tea, and will definitely come back. read more

2 stars just cause the bubble tea was good. They failed today as I ordered a pokebowl. Order was not correct. As seen in picture says brown rice protein x2. I chose eel and spicy salmon. No brown rice and no eel as proven in the picture. Food wasn't bad however not what i ordered. I do not recommend getting anything other than bubble tea here. Sidenote: I was the only person in the store they were not busy at all. read more

This place is amazing Yes, please has drinks that cost five dollars or 10 like I love this I'd like for real like it's the best place and I'm not going to not have a Boba place read more

I lived by this place so went almost every day. The amount of times I had an issue vs the amount of times I went were slim. They always offered me a free drink to make up for whatever mistake happened. I only mention this bc the majority of negative reviews here seem to be one off mistakes and the ppl that run this place and work here seem to be good ppl to me and were only human. Poke and bubble tea were good. I had them quite often read more

Okay, I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. I basically live here- at least 4 or more days a week I'm here in the afternoon getting my boba fix. And I mean, it's cheaper and tastier than Starbucks, so who wouldn't?! The staff here work super hard and are always really friendly. Today is National Boba Day and they were swamped around 3 when I came, but they were still serving everyone in a pretty timely manner and with a smile. Their menu is pretty extensive. I try to get something new every time I come- the only thing I've had that I didn't absolutely love was their rose hip milk tea, but of course that's just my personal taste. So glad to have this spot in the neighborhood! read more

My girlfriend and I come here a lot to get quick poke bowls/boba , but I doubt we'll ever be coming back again. After doing an order for 3 bowls to go and coming home to eat, I found a special surprise that had been included in my bowl that I didn't notice until something sharp hit the roof of my mouth, Straight up a piece of glass was somehow mixed in. I'll never be ordering from here again and I'm glad I was able to catch it before swallowing it and inevitably having to go to the hospital later on :/ extremely disappointed read more

They have great bubble tea here at reasonable prices. My favorites are the Thai milk and earl gray bubble teas. They also seem to have poke here but I haven't tried it. If you download their app they also send coupons. Will definitely be back for afternoon tea to get me through the day! read more

Kung Fu Tea - Signature Tea Earl Grey - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I have never heard of a Kung Fu Tea selling anything but bubble tea. Being the only bubble tea place around, we had to try it out! My friend and I came in around 6pm on a weekday and there were quite a bit of people there. They had one cashier taking bubble tea orders and the other taking the poke bowl orders. We grabbed a menu and markers and just started selecting all the things we wanted! The price for the bowl came out to about $13. The price is pretty standard for poke bowls. I think my only complaint is that both my friend and I barely got any of the protein. We were given a lot of toppings which I appreciate but I wished I gotten a little more fish. Other than that, it was a delicious meal and we will probably be back for more! read more

Kung Fu Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I visited this location seeking a healthy and balance lunch. I was disappointed by the service, and food preparation itself. I ordered a white rice bowl with tuna and avocado. The veggies were fresh and adequately crunchy in line with what I've had in a poke bowl in the past. The rice portion was huge. When I finished eating the tuna and veggies I still had at least one cup of rice left. This made for a wasteful meal and one that was certainly not healthy. Because a poke bowl is supposed to be anchored in poke I won't be returning to this location. read more

This place is one of my favorites! I always stop by when I'm in town! They take sanitation and social distancing seriously, and are take out and delivery only. The restaurant provides ample space for waiting for your pickup order. They have so many different options for bubble tea, I can't make just one suggestion... My favorites are the fruity ones with boba. It's very convenient that they have calorie counts for the different options as well. And of course, my favorite part is the poke bowls, and the restaurant is also called Poke Station. So come for the bubble tea, and pick up a bowl of poke also! Right now I'm a big fan of salmon with spicy mayo on a bed of spring mix!I could eat poke from this place every day of the year and be blissfully happy! If you love sushi and have never tried poke, you are missing out! read more

I order from here for lunch often and they never disappoint. I like having the option to create your own poke bowl and the ingredients are fresh which makes it even more yummy . The bubble tea is delicious. I love how the boba is sweet . read more

I started coming here more often, but am gonna switch back to Starbucks. This week when I arrived to pick my order, there were 2 guys at the counter who ignored me. One was staring into space and the other was on his phone. So after a while I just grabbed my drink and walked out, which was watery. The product and customer experience overall keeps going down the more I go there. read more

Very bad place. Very idiotic policies. Unpleasant staff. I work for Uber Eats and was picking up order for customer. Wanted to use bathroom badly since was driving from the Bronx and was about to do delivery far. Wanted to use bathroom but an employee ran for me eve inside the bathroom like I'm a bum or alcoholic sort of. They don't even have bathroom for customers too. Imagine you spend money there and wait till it is made and you're not allowed to use bathroom. What if you pregnant woman?? Don't get wrong, I love bible tea and speak Mandarin, but this place it's rude and bad. I did 1000s of food delivery and first time like this happens. Shame, shame on the store. read more

Alright service and lots of people even at night. A few different seats and tables so you can catch up with friends or take it to go. They have poke bowls and drinks. Tea, milk tea, or fruit based. They have cold and hot beverages. Reasonable prices and walkable to the subway station. read more

The food was amazing and the staff were overall lovely and if I had the money on hand I would give them a bigger tip.

5 stars for their bubble tea. 3 stars for the poke bowl. Actually this is the reason why I want to write the review. The place opens until 10pm so I just got a poke bowl after getting back being super hungry. My friends said their bowls are good. So I am was having some high hope. I got the one with salmon tuna and shrimp. I mean it is decent but definitely not the best. The bowl looks large so I thought it was a nice portion size. But it is actually just heavy on rice. I really wish they could be more generous about the proteins. In terms of the flavor, it is not impressive either. I got a salmon poke bowl from main campus the other day, which is like 14 bucks. It's slightly expensive but it tasted so good!! And it had large chucks salmon instead of the tiny bits here. It is still nice to have a warm bowl around 9.30pm especially in this area. But I would suggest going to somewhere else if you want a nicer poke bowl. read more

Lied about offering curbside pickup. Therefore I wasted my time and money ordering, driving to pick up, gas, etc. I spoke with the two people on shift at 3pm Monday October 12th, both of whom made it clear that they don't actually offer curbside pickup (even though Seamless explicitly says they do). The last man I spoke with was extremely rude when I asked him to cancel the order. He said " You have to come inside to pick it up otherwise it's not my problem." Then intentionally set the order to "picked up" in the app, knowing full well I never received my order. As there is nowhere to park in the area. In these times when so many are under and unemployed, this level of poor customer service is never tolerable. I Will never order here again and those employees should be reprimanded if not replaced with people more willing to do their jobs. read more

Nice ppl, lots of boba. If you're ever itching for a bubble tea fix, I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

Great variety in teas and add ons (like "bubbles" and aloe pulp). I love that you can completely customize any drink. I usually get a Taro Milk tea with bubbles or Passionfruit green tea with aloe vera. So delicious. They also have a small poke bowl bar, always looks fresh and appetizing. read more

I've ordered from them ten times. App orders, they don't make mistakes. In person orders they have 100% 6/6 times each time have left out extra fish portion I paid extra for. I think they leave out extras to save money on take out in person orders because the customers are likely to not come back to ask for corrections. read more

This is part of a chain, so the quality & consistency should be better. I have gone four times, and each time wished I had saved my money. The first time, they didn't have any bubble tea (it was soon after they opened, so that was ok), the second & fourth time, no hot bubble tea, and the third time they had no bubbles (?). For $4-6, it's not really worth it - and the preparation isn't as good as downtown (often is too sweet or the order is wrong). read more

I dunno what to say this place needs a little more experience someone that knows what to do .I asked the employee to make me a coconut bubble tea smh ....he said he dont know how to make it ....What's the point of working there . read more

Im not sure if this is a daily thing. However, the customer service was not as great even though the place was practically empty. If youre a beginner/its your first time trying bubble/boba tea they will NOT help/suggest drinks. However they were pretty clean and efficient when serving the drinks so: 4/5 read more

The bubble tea and service is good,I'm just so sick and tired of the "Poke" part, every times that I come in, I always see this old lady making poke without gloves. She's also extremely rude and irresponsible. I am not coming in ever again. read more

Food is good but Extremely slow service. If you're ordering poke, expect to wait at least half an hour during lunchtime. They should really have more than one person making the poke bowls. Or come up with a more efficient system. read more

Amazing place, super friendly crew. It's a great place to start the day in peace or get away and unwind for a few minutes. The best I've had. Getting to know your customers is a good sign. One of the best in the city! read more

One of the best things to happen in my neighborhood. Theyre always so nice & accommodating. Food is always fresh. If they mess up they will make you a new one on the spot. The bubble tea side recently opened up. I got a medium Taro bubble tea the other day & it was a bit on the sweeter side. They also have two registers; one for tea & the other for Poke bowls. I wish they would have one person on each register to make it easier on ordering. The poor girl on the food register was taking orders & passing out teas that like 4 different people were making. Had 1 person been taking care of the teas, she would be free to take orders from the line that was forming. Other than minor things, this place is clean, the food is yummy and dare I say beautiful to look at, and I cant be happier that I'm only a block away. 5 stars to them, they deserve i read more
