Sesame Slush
Christopher M.

We were supposed to the be only headed to the post office but my wife tricked me with a last minute trip to Kung fu tea. I was bribed with a sesame slushie which provides a refreshing, cool, nutty flavor. We enjoyed our drinks on our ride home and I was pretty much done by the time we arrived. I'm sure we'll be back since my wife is addicted to boba tea and she always gets her way lol. As long as she treats me, I guess I'm down for it.

Wide variety of menu options to build your own drink
Michele L.

My husband and I love boba tea, so when people told us about Kung Fu tea, we knew we had to try them out. Since we were in the area, we decided to stop in and give them a try. When you first find them, they're a little hole in the wall shop with a few tables on each side of the restaurant. There were a few college student with laptops out working but it was still fairly quiet. There isn't a whole lot of room so people are up against the wall or in chairs while waiting for their order. I was stuck choosing what I wanted so when it came time to order, the staff were very kind to help me choose between the two I was debating on. They have the option for you to tip on your card so you don't have to worry about cash tip. They had some interesting snacks you can grab too to go. They had our drinks up very quickly. My husband got the taro slush with pudding which was thick like a dessert but not overly sweet. It was so delicious! I got the lychee black tee with berry crystal bubbles. It was very sweet but very good! It had a lot of fruit in the bottom and the bubbles gave it a nice pop. I love that you can build your own drinks and if you are new or don't know where to start, they have plenty of places to start. We will definitely be back with the rest of our family. It's a great option for a drink or if you want dessert but not anything too heavy.

Yum the Mango Green Tea with bubble
Aleisha W.

This was my first time there and the menu is a little overwhelming but they have yummy flavorful drinks.

Updating my review because of bad customer service... I go to this location frequently, like I get a drink every week or so. I got a wrong drink today. I get it, it's busy at night time. I ordered a drink with full sugar and no ice and received a drink with less sugar with ice. I went back in to tell them about the wrong order. I literally saw them take my drink, pour some of it out, put a new lid on it. The cashier then had the audacity to tell me that I "took someone else's drink". My call number was the right number on my cup. I would've been alright if they just added sugar, but they ended up being really rude about it. Other kung fu tea locations will remake your drink if it's wrong, I'm not sure why this location will make up excuses if it's wrong.

Ordered the coffee milk tea with bursting coffee bubbles...so good and refreshing. First time getting bursting balls and I like them!!!

Taro Milk Tea. It's made with powdered creamer, not actual milk.
Kia T.

The slushes here are pretty good. HOWEVER, I can confidently say that their Taro Milk tea is the nastiest that I've ever had, and I love Taro. I even had it on separate occasions just in case the first time I had it was a fluke. Their's tasted like bitter tea and thick froot loop cereal milk that sat out for a while. If you like that kinda thing, go for it but just know other places make it better.

Richmond Ice Creamery ice cream available at Kung Fu Tea
Janet L.

We went the Ramen Spot next door and had to get some Bubble Tea right after. This is located across the street on grace from Edo's Squid. I've been to a Kung Fu Tea in northern Virginia so I was excited to get my favorite Rose Hip Milk Tea. Super yummy if you like sweet and tangy flavors and of course bubble tea with tapioca balls. My only complaint with this location is that some of the tea flavors already have the full amount of sugar added. The beauty of Kung Fu Tea is that you can request less sugar in your drinks which is my go to and less ice. I was a little bummed the Rose Hip Milk Tea was mixed already... but regardless it was still delicious and hit the spot for my bubble tea craving. In addition to that, there are also ice creams available from the Richmond Ice Creamery. Got my daughter cookies and cream which she loved. The store also allowed all of us to have tastings of the ice cream. We had thai ice tea, coconut, taro and the Vietnamese coffee.... honestly all were good but all of us agreed the Vietnamese coffee was the best. Anyway so fun, can't wait to go back again!

Strawberry lemonade green tea with bubbles
Yvonne M.

I love this place for a quick bubble tea lemonade. The two sizes are perfect, medium and large and are very reasonably priced. I've tried several places and no one has made the strawberry lemonade green tea this good. In fact, it was so good I left, drank it and came back to buy one to go for home. Yes,..its that good !

I've had KFT quite a few times since it has opened in Richmond, and I have to say that it has been my favorite of the local bubble tea options in Richmond. First of all, I like the option to alter the amount of sugar, the type of toppings, or whether you would like your drink hot or cold. My favorites are the honey milk tea, taro tea, and the winter melon tea! I would definitely suggest pairing these with the Nata Jelly.

Our second time here. The drinks are amazing, with so many to choose from. There was a line of people ahead of me but the three employees cleared it quickly, maybe faster than Starbucks baristas even! The only hard part is the street parking to get here if you are driving.

It's alright, nothing to write home about. Ever since coming to Richmond, I've been looking at various places to try. I came across this place because it reminded me of one of the many boba shops back home. There's a variety of selections for different types of teas, but I was hoping there was a bigger selection for slushies, which is my go to at these types of establishments. I ordered the Mango Slush with boba. It's a bit on the sweet side and I LOVE sweet stuff. I wish I ordered it with less sugar. Back home, they wouldn't charge extra for boba unless you got anything but the regular boba. If you want boba, it's an additional $1.25. Which isn't cool with me, but I ended up sucking it up because I wanted to try this drink in all its glory and see how it compared to back home. Sadly, it failed my expectations. Price wise, it's kind of expensive. Back in Cali, for the same drink, I would've paid around $5, if not a little cheaper. For my large slush with boba, it was $6.12. The staff seemed friendly and they have a variety of board games available to play if you like. If I come back, I'll probably try one of their teas.

When they say "dogs allowed", does that include inside?

Yes

Can I get a peach green tea made with FRESH fruit with strawberry POPPING boba here? I just moved to va-fl &used to go to shaka shaka tea house. Since moving I have not found a place. alot of places use powders/syrups tht arent natural/healthy😭

They have grape, coffee and sometimes mango popping bubbles, but not strawberry. Unfortunately, they also don't have any fresh fruit.

I tried to go here to check it out but is it really closed on Saturdays?

No, you probably tried to come here when they were on vacation.

We stop by here to get something yummy for heading to a park. Like Maymont or Forest Hill. They are…read morea place that you can buy a lot of organic foods, herbs, and essential oils and such. They also have an amazing food counter with healthy options and a place to sit and enjoy your meal. They have a private meeting room for classes and such they also have a wonderful healthy smoothie section.

I visited this store for the last time today. I go in every week to buy three items. Every time I…read morego, I am followed around the store and watched by employees. I am tired of the constant racism and racial profiling. Today I asked to speak with a manager. Mike came out and doubted everything I told him. No apology. No understanding. In fact, he constantly interrupted me. When I told him he was interrupting he said, "I just let you speak." A very nasty way to be with a customer. He actually said "why should I believe you over them," and "this is not going to go how you want it to go." What I wanted and what I should have gotten as a customer was an apology and at least a commitment from the store to take my concerns seriously and do better. He assumed I misunderstood and that the responsibility to prove racism occurred fell on my shoulders. He was defensive, rude, and frankly perpetuated the racism I tried to make him see. His only solution was for him to watch the videos to see if they indeed followed me so he could consider "both sides." Everything was about justifying their movements instead of acknowledging what I said. I went to management as a courtesy, but he just ended up making it worse. Goes to show, you can put a mural of a Black woman on the side of your business, you can even hire Black workers, but if you don't do the work of educating your management on customer service and racial profiling, you will lose customers and support.
