    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

    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.

    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.

    Raw tip filter in the food which was previously in someone's mouth

    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 !!!!!!

    Poke Bowl (preset combination)
    Vicky R.

    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.

    Kung fu milk tea with bubbles

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Pokebowl
    Mako S.

    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

    Signature Tea Earl Grey

    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!

    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!

    Honey Milk Tea with Oreo
    Miriam C.

    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 .

    I got the Lychee Punch with bubbles and jelly! Loved it -- next time I wouldn't get bubbles with this drink!

    Whenever I'm in Harlem, I find my way to Lucille's. At this point, I barely look at the menu…read morebecause my order is set: the kale salad with grilled chicken, one guava waffle with guava rum butter, and a brown sugar latte. Yes, a kale salad and a guava waffle. Stay with me. The salad is fresh, savory, and hearty, especially with the grilled chicken. Then comes the waffle--warm, slightly sweet, and topped with guava rum butter that melts into every little pocket. Oh my goodness. Taking a bite of the savory chicken and kale, followed by that soft guava waffle, gives me the perfect sweet-and-savory meal. It should not work as beautifully as it does, but it absolutely does. And the brown sugar latte? Always. It's smooth, comforting, and sweet without tasting like someone poured syrup into a cup and called it coffee. The space has the easy, unhurried feeling of a neighborhood coffee shop, but the menu is giving a real brunch experience. It's cozy and beautifully lit during the day--the kind of place where you can settle in and enjoy yourself without feeling rushed. The service matches that energy. Everyone is attentive, kind, and genuinely knows the menu. They always greet you with a smile and give you exactly the right amount of small talk: enough to make you feel welcomed, never so much that it interrupts your peace. The atmosphere, the people, and that guava rum butter keeps me coming back.

    STOP LOOKING. ORDER FROM LUCILLE'S RIGHT NOW…read more The pizza is truly remarkable. The crust is perfectly crispy with a fluffy center. The toppings and combos are delicious. Make your own if you're not feeling theirs. It's worth it. Also writing this review because they are just quality people. I ordered a vegan pizza with some toppings but wanted pepperoni and that wasn't an option. I made a note asking if a substitution was possible, knowing it likely wasn't because of a price difference. I'm not vegan, but I needed a dairy-free alternative since I am breastfeeding a baby with a cow milk protein intolerance. The LOADED up my pizza. Truly stand-up humans. Thanks, Lucille's, if you're reading this: you made my night!
