Biased since I used to work at one of their shops so I know how items are supposed to taste lol My favorites are their Black Milk tea and Oolong Milk Tea, black is a bit on the floral side and oolong is more on the nutty side When I do want something more creamy with milk, I go for the Wow Milk Series, the Herbal Jelly is my go-to (made in-house also!) read more

I don't recommend their milk tea products. Reasons are as below: 1. I asked for "no ice". They still gave me a drink with ice. Good that she agreed to make me another one. They need to respect customer's will. 2. Your "less ice" request will surprise you with more than 50% of ice in the drink. What a cheat! 3. My osmanthus oolong didn't taste refined at all. It had unfiltered tea leaves floating around that I had to chew on. It was unpleasant to drink. It's a boba shop in the hood but I don't find it worth it. read more

5 stars for atmosphere/ service 4 stars for drinks I've ordered 50% & 70% sugar and it's still overwhelmingly sweet (and I'm someone who has a massive craving for sweet things) Nonetheless, the drinks itself and the boba is good, and the staff has been continuously recognized to be super nice & consistent. read more

Kung Fu Tea is located in the Saratoga Square close to BiBi Bakery & Cafe, Lion Market, etc. The parking is ok but not during peak hours. The ambience is simplistic with a few tables and some window seating available. They have house music playing and two kiosks to order from. Only one unisex restroom. 2G2G order came with a... Wintermelon Tea w/Boba - the boba was nice, soft, yet chewy. Though, a bit sweet for me. Green Tea - the tea was flavorful, and possibly 25-40% sweet? The service was friendly and efficient. Overall, 3.5 stars. Support your local business. read more

Pleasantly surprised by the drinks here. Randomly came in , stumbled here, and Coconut Milk Tea is tasty. Creamy texture with balanced tea flavor. Indoor seating is available and service is great. For sweetness and ice level it can be adjusted. For Milk Teas, 50% is good for me. Offers medium and large size. Five stars. read more

Chanced upon Kung Fu Tea while waiting a few hours for car service. Decent tea (oolong with grass jelly) and friendly service. There's some tables inside so it was a nice quiet place to hang out. This location is inside the Lion asian market shopping center. read more

I've heard about Kung Fu Tea from a lot of people so I wanted to swing by today. I ordered a KF milk tea which is just a classic milk tea (50% sweetness, less ice and honey boba). It was just your average milk tea so pretty hard to mess up; however it took forever for them to make. It wasn't busy at all, but somehow took almost 15 minutes to get our drinks. The workers were pretty nice. I'm glad I tried this spot, but not sure I'd come back. read more

This place gets the job done. It was really hot out and my mom wanted to get something to drink. The wintermelon with strawberry milk cap was so tasty. It was sweet but the strawberry flavor was really light. My family enjoyed the rest of the drinks. I think this place is ok i hope everyone else gives it a chance and lets me know if im tripping or not. read more

Door dashed from here and they were very nice and professional. They called to notify me that one of my drinks just ran out of the ingredients and wanted to make it right. I was so happy because now a days people would just issue a refund without even attempting to call the customer. I appreciate the kind lady that took the time to ask me what I wanted. She recommended me a few drinks and if I wasn't happy with those choices she can give me a refund. I took one of the recommended drinks and it was a great choice. Thank you to this establishment for thinking about your customers and providing a great customer experience! read more

order with the cashier and waited about 3ish min for drinks when there werent any other customers. they have some seats and tables inside which is convenient honey green tea cap (5/10): normally with a cheese cap or cheese foam, you would have a sipping lid to sip the cheese and tea, but that wasnt the case here since there wasnt a sipping lid. there was less boba in my drink than i expected which was disappointing. the drink itself was not the best and it cant compare to the cheese foam gt from other tea shops pokemon collab - they ran out of straw toppers when i went ): za royale (6/10): coconut passionfruit milk tea except the coconut was very potent and i couldnt taste any passionfruit. the boba texture was also hard prism tower punch (6.5/10): i liked this drink more than the other one bc it didnt taste as funky. it was basically fruit punch / juice and i ordered 70 sweet which tasted like 120 sweet, but i didnt hate it the vibes are nice and the employees work decently fast, but the drinks were pretty mid. i think id only come back to try collab drinks read more

I've been to every Boba spot you can name in San Jose, Sunnyvale and Cupertino at this point. Kung Fu Tea is the one I like best hands down. Ever since discovering Kung Fu Tea, me and my wife have been going almost every day. The manager is a big reason for this. He's extremely nice and always willing to explain their extensive menu in detail. There are a lot of customization options as well, and He's not only patient, but excited to let us know every detail of the choices available. They have all the classics you expect at Boba places, plus a lot of really good limited time offers. We haven't tried any of the food options, but there's popcorn chicken, calamari rings, and french fries if you're interested. I think they're all Halal as well, if that's important to you. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're a Bobaholic like me. read more

Overall a decent boba shop and has many many options ranging from regular milk teas to smoothies to basic teas. They also have an app where you can order ahead of time and they often have deals on there as well (free topping or bogo). I've only gotten their milk teas, but I find that their milk teas are a bit too milky for my taste. If you prefer milkier milk teas, this place would be good for you. For me, I prefer a stronger tea flavor. read more

The tea itself was tasty but the pearls were overcooked and spongy. Zero interaction with the staff. They didn't even say hello

Best Boba tea in Redwood City. They make strong tea brews and that's what it should be like for Boba tea in my opinion. I go about 3 to 4 times a week here. I downloaded their app and have been accumulating points for free drinks. I'm so glad it's near where I work so it's super convenient. It's in the same shopping plaza where Dunkin donuts are. I've had their black tea, green tea, Thai tea and Ohlong tea. If you enjoy having tea, that's on the lighter sweetness side, I'd recommend using 30% sweetness on your order. The owner and the employees are pleasant to interact with. Happy and hard-working. read more

Cute boba spot in the Lion Plaza!! We got our usual order of passion fruit green tea and mango passion fruit and both were great.

Came here since it was close to my work. Ordered a honey milk green tea and a passion tea green tea fruit drink. When I got my order I noticed it had no milk and I told them and who I presume was the owner; a man, just said oh well and starred at me and his worker a young lady looked like she wanted to do it over when he was the one that made the drink but he seemed like he could care less. And poor young lady since he got mad when she was checking out a drink and it was spilling and be yelled for her to watch out. Probably won't come here again since the owner or whoever the man working seems rude and doesn't care about customer service. They also take a while to make drinks since ppl were even waiting outside. Parking is also tight outside of here. Much better places to get boba around this area. read more

I came here for an afternoon pick-me-up. I ordered a boba milk tea with less sugar through their app. When I arrived, my drink wasn't ready yet as they were making it right then. My milk tea was ultimately just okay. I tasted more milk than I did tea. The boba had a good consistency but had no flavor. Maybe it was an off day. I may come back in the future if I am in the area. read more

Ordered online through their app. Super easy and your drink will be ready by the time you arrive. Also I think there is a rewards program through the app and an occasional discount code to use. Anyways I got the sunshine pineapple tea and passion fruit green tea. Also I tried the boba and mango jelly toppings. I did notice all their toppings have different costs so watch out for that. I was able to customize the sweetness and ice levels also. Passion fruit green tea is my favorite and go to drink. And KFT's version is solid. I actually preferred the pineapple tea. I haven't seen this option at too many other tea houses so it's a bit unique. Also I like that it had little bits of pineapple in the drink. The toppings I had were also solid. Located in a big shopping center with Lion supermarket, so parking can be hit or miss. read more

Came here specifically to try the Pikmin drinks and wasn't disappointed. Tried both the punch tea and the punch slush, which came with popping boba (not my favorite but it was fine). Great fruity flavor in both and the drinks are pretty generously sized. I also liked that they weren't overly sweet or cloying; I really don't like super sweet drinks. The cashier let us choose which of the cups and straw covers we wanted and was a really nice guy. We were the only ones waiting for drinks and the only others in the place aside from one couple, so our drinks came out very fast. I wish we had a Kung Fu Tea closer to us here in the East Bay, especially since they get Nintendo collaboration drinks (I missed out on the Kirby one, sadly). This was a good first impression of this chain and I'd come back here if I were in the area. read more

Was visiting my friends shop in the same plaza and seen kung fu tea. I've always seen this milk tea spot in the Sacramento and Stockton area but never in San Jose, so I had to try it. Their menu is different from the spots around here which is more of a milk tea Taiwanese tea spots. This place serves a more fruity milk tea which I like. I got the guava slush with chua seeds and it was really good. I had to try the kf milk tea which was tasty too. The service was top notch. The lovely lady helped me fix my order because there was a special offer today for a free pistachio milk tea and she added it for me on the side because I messed up and didn't add it myself. This place is nice and clean inside and out. I will be coming back to try the other flavors. read more

Came here a year ago and I'm even more disappointed in this recent visit. The old order problem still exists. Online order has no pickup line. So you still have to go in, join the same in store order line to get your order going. Secondly, the almond milk tea I tried is also very disappointing. The boba is soft and seemed to be infused with some honey or sweet syrup flavor when I first tried it. But it overpowered the beverage. The beverage itself is also super disappointing; there's no flavor of tea, milk or almond. It's just a water down liquid. Then the more boba I sucked in, the more it tasted licorice which I hate. So yeah, that's all there's is to say. Not sure if my order is water down because I used a T-mobile coupon or because they are just bad in general. While I was happy that the price was reasonable, I did not find any value in this visit. Won't be back. read more

If there's one place that I could get boba for the rest of my life it would be Kung Fu Tea! I first tried Kung Fu Tea when I temporarily lived in Las Vegas and I fell in love with the drinks. (So much that my friends and I would drink it weekly, not super healthy I know haha). Anyway, I write this review for this specific location because since moving back home I really love how they make the drinks here! It tastes just as it did when I first had it, and the staff here are very consistent with how they make everything. My sister and I tried the Palo Alto location and we both agreed that the way they make the drinks there isn't the same...... I hope the Saratoga staff have good business so that they can continue to stay open! It's always pretty empty when I come here, so I would definitely say its an underrated hidden gem. read more

I've been meaning to try this place and since we were near San Jose area, we decided to go since we had a $2 coupon as well which we downloaded the app to use. We got the wintermelon milk green tea, it had a very very slight hint of like wintermelon but I want to say it just mostly tasted like regular milk tea, but it was a good milk tea with soft squishy boba! Other than the lack of taste of the wintermelon, overall it was good and we were content Not to mention the super cute lid! I heard they sometimes do some collaborations here! read more

Kung Fu Tea - Kung Fu milk tea (75% sugar, less ice) - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Kung fu tea is always a safe bet for me when it comes to Boba. Nothing too extravagant or unique, bit rough around the edges experience, but reliable quality if I've ever got that chewy craving. This joint is no different. Not ideal service, but they'll get around to you eventually with a slightly curt attitude. They were working pretty heavy on online/app orders and pretty much ignored us for the first 10 minutes, and I had to readjust my order since they ran out of that flavor. Took another 5 for us to get our order, so not too bad as far as waiting goes. Fairly minimal in terms of seating arrangement (one table outside, a few benches and a table inside), so see this as more of a grab-and-go spot. Parking is pretty straightforward being next to the Lion supermarket. I went with their Red Bean Wow Milk Strike (non-adjustable sugar level) and my brother went with a coffee milk tea. Sweetness was a bit high for me personally, but tasted pretty creamy (huzzah for lactaid milk) and looked neat with the syrup mix. The boba were all pretty remarkably soft in their chewiness, which was different from my visits at other locations. The boba themselves were fairly mild in flavor though. They also messed up on my request for less ice on my order, but I only realized half-way through my drink after it was a bit late to correct. Definitely satisfied that boba craving, even if it wasn't perfect. read more

Love this new boba shop in my neighborhood. Hands down the best boba I've had and I've sampled many through the Bay Area with teenage daughters. Delicious boba and sooo many options to choose from.

Came here for an afternoon pick me up! Ordered their new Sesame Oolong Milk Tea with Egg Pudding (extra 50 cents). I ordered through the app and the drink was ready in about 5 minutes [not sure if it's because I was going at an off time--Thursday afternoon around 1:30 PM]. ~~Parking: Located within the Lion Market plaza, but there's plenty of parking -- just depends on how much you want to walk. ~~Service: I ordered through the app, but the staff was friendly when I was picking up! ~~Worst Part: Nothing really maybe the fact that you have to pay for the toppings (but most boba shops are doing that now) ~~Tip: Order through the KungFu Tea app -- skip the line and earn points ~~Return: Yes! read more

They renovated and it looks very nice. It's like very warm and cozy looking. Matcha milk tea and wow Oreo milk is our go to ! Most recently we got the Thai ice tea but it was a brown color and not the orange color we were use to and tasted super watered down. Not sure if they gave me the right drink.

atmosphere: small inside, feels very tiny but the wall decorations were cute. Service: disappointed tbh. We waited in line for at least 10-15 minutes and not once did they tell us during that time we had to order through the app -___- we could've saved ourselves that time and ordered on the app instead of wait there to be told we couldn't order with them. Plus their app is very glitchy and not counterintuitive. Drinks: VERY small compared to other places and the prices are absurd for the amount they give you. I won't be coming back here. read more

Pretty similar to other boba tea places where you can specify the sugar and ice levels. The only difference: the 100% ice is not filled up ice! That's a plus! Their pudding topping has very rich egg flavor. Is the best I've had. Must have! At the time this is written, mask is required read more

This review is from my visit for the Fruits Basket S2 promotion in 2021. As a long time fan of Fruits Basket, I was extremely excited to hear that Funimation was having a collab with Kung Fu Tea and giving out Fruits Basket stickers. The promotion was supposed to be 1 sticker per drink, so me and my sister came early to make sure we got one. We ordered 3 drinks expecting 3 stickers. The lady working there called us up and gave us our orders with no stickers. I had to call her over and ask her for the stickers and she reluctantly gave us ONE. I asked about the promotion, which said 1 sticker per drink and she told us that since the stickers were so popular, we could only get one. She seemed extremely angry and unwilling to compromise/sympathize with us as fans who came here specifically for this promotion. If we had known that they wouldn't honor their own promotion, we wouldn't have ordered so many drinks. The drinks themselves weren't that great. The strawberry slush and mango drinks were way too sweet. We ended up not finishing them. The taro slush was the best drink, but not worth the experience we ended up having. One year later, and I can still remember how upset I was about the promotion and the way we were treated at our visit. It was an extremely disappointing experience and I will never be coming back. read more
