I am a regular at this place, workers know me they get me my pick up order right after i go in. They get the drink perfectly right and are super nice. Definitely recommend read more

Was looking for a place to study - has bigger, spacious tables, outlets, wifi, the vibes were unique and fun, and the orders came out quickly. The boba was decent and also decently priced, and the staff was friendly. read more

Always reliable drinks! Love their mango iced green tea with 30% sweet. Super refreshing and has mangos inside. Also love their puffle dessert ice cream too! read more

This boba place is one of the few spots in the area with the best customer service! Came on a rather busy day but Edwin didn't seem to be bothered and we were greeted with a friendly and fast service. It's hard to find spots with newly made boba but this one definitely does! If you ever visit, Edwin is the man. Will definitely be coming back! read more

I love this place. It's quick, easy order and reload on their app and you get a free topping for checking in. This place is efficient and quality is always super solid. They never disappoint. It's my go-to bubble tea spot in East county even though there are lots to choose from. Kung-fu tea is def my jam. Can't beat the convenience of hassle free order ahead. Parking lot is sometimes busy/tricky but otherwise this place is the best. read more

Lovely spot. Young and respectful staff. I stopped by with my niece while out getting fresh air. I already knew what I wanted which was taro, but when I got there I saw the two magic words - red bean - so of course I changed my order right then. We both got the slushie option instead of the regular tea. Both with boba. The girl who helped us asked us for our sweetness level preference. I was too sick/tired to ask what that meant. I opted for regular sweetness. The place is super cozy. There's an area where you can sit Japanese style with cushions. You obviously have to take your shoes off. They also have WiFi which is usually the selling point for the kids. Definitely a place worth visiting over and over. If you check in on Yelp, you get a free topping. The lady was kind enough to not charge me for both drinks. Free toppings ftw. Very nice gesture. read more

Their Thai tea with boba was so good! It doesn't have the bright orange color because it's not artificial, and the boba was sweet and delicious. read more

Five stars for service, you walk in and you are immediately greeted by the friendly staff. I wish I was more adventurous but I am so partial to "taro" so I had the taro concoction with red bean topping. I do love the option of how sweet you want your drink just in case you are borderline diabetic. I chose my drink at 50% sweetness and I found it flavorful still. I was offered the coffee variety but I decided not to try any coffee at this time so I will have to come visit again and try a different drink and definitely a review upgrade in the making. Until next time! read more

Fast service. For dairy alternatives, they have lactose-free milk only. Ordered a hot brown sugar ginger tea, less sweet with boba. Hot drinks are only large sizes. Drink was piping hot. Also ordered a Signature Puffle. Came out lukewarm, which is a but disappointing. However it is still delicious. They have a few small round tables indoors for dining in, yet most took their orders to go. Payment method: they now accept Apple Pay, which is different from the last time I came here. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Signature Puffle - Bubble Tea Near Me - Santee, California

Hey now, who be making some delicious milk teas? Kung Fu Tea that is... I have visited this location now several times not. I have had the original Kung Fu black milk tea, the Almond Milk Tea, and the iced Matcha Milk. They were all terrific and offered that great cold milky quality, not to mention they each tasted delicious. My favorite was the Kung Fu Milk Tea original at 1/3 sweet. The staff here are all very friendly and easy to talk to. I like that they took the time to discuss the differences about their teas and the ingredients they include. They offer a good amount of seating inside and offer free Wi-Fi. read more

My usual go to when I feel like Boba tea. Each one is a franchise but the keeps are consistent at each one which I appreciate. First time at this location! This one has an interesting setup, they have a elevated stage area where they set it up as a sitting area. They have pillows to sit on and a wide variety of games to play. They also have chairs and tables if you prefer not to sit with your legs crossed on a pillow. No AC but they have a huge stand alone AC machine. It's bright and colorful inside. Service was quick and I liked my drink. I got a taro slush with Oreo 50% sweetness, should have went less it was still super sweet. Free topping with Yelp check in! Overall I liked my drink and it's good to know there is location here. I could grab a boba tea after a hike! read more

Slightly different menu from the convoy location, but upon coming here several different times they are more consistent than I thought. The AC situation seems improved. The best thing to me about this chain is the fact that they have the freshest, best boba in town. I've tried several other highly rated places and the boba is never as fresh. Some places it's clumpy, hard, mushy like it's falling apart, etc. Gross right? Kung fu boba is tender yet chewy throughout, delicately floral, and doesn't sit more than an hour or two according to their sign. My only complaint is that there aren't fruit milk teas. I love the all natural house made ingredients but there HAS to be a way to formulate a fruit milk tea. I was told it separates and looks unappealing, etc. I have had it at other places like cha for tea in OC and haven't been able to find anywhere that does a non syrupy real fruit based drink here so the search continues... read more

I enjoyed a nice drink at this nice little establishment in Santee for the second time. I ordered something not on the menu, picking random things to add to it. See picture... I received the drink and was told I can never order it again because it not aloud by corporate. Let me tell ya...it's good!!! I'm sorry I can't order it again BUT it's ok. Out of the two drinks I ordered so far both were good and since I love my tea I'll be back...when Happy Lemon is to far to drive to. All in all, thanks for the good drinks and I appreciate having my order fulfilled. read more

Review #093 - 2019 After our most recent visit to the KFT at our usual spot in Koreatown, we were kind of disappointed since our drinks weren't made correctly & I thought about giving up on trying another location. However, since I'd bookmarked this location for quite sometime, I decided to take a chance & give KFT one more try. We showed up around noon on April 5th, on our way back to LA. There were a few customers sitting inside & a few waiting in line to place their orders. We placed our order & our drinks were ready within five minutes. My drink was made exactly how it was supposed to taste when I first had it & became a fan. My son even mentioned that he was super disappointed that we came here, thinking that it would taste like the Koreatown location, but he was happy that it's so much better! Service was super quick & friendly! We'll definitely be back whenever we're in the area. read more

One note; Not as good or iconic as the Convoy St. Location. As I am here, I notice employees entertaining themselves behind the counter while on their phones, and playing card games. I also noticed one employee eating at the register and laughing as another was sitting at a table cleaning, "mocking" as if he were a customer. Flavor wise, it's not as good as the Convoy location. They may use same products or such, but I feel as if the convoy location takes on more of a crafty approach to their beverages. I do attend college in the area, so I will definitely keep returning read more

I notice that this kung fu makes drinks a little slower than most kung fu stores. The staff was really nice but I did found plastic in my drink. read more

Kung Fu Tea - The plastic that was in my drink to the left of the lid. I had to spit out since it was not Oreo bits. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Santee, California

Never had Boba like this shop provided me with very tasteful and astonishing and they make it fresh great customer service as well. It was my first time and asked the young lady there What she would recommend she asked what I like. She gave me a few options so I got three bobas for myself would recommend read more

We came here for the National Bubble Tea Day.. it was disappointing since there's no free or buy one get one.. we would've gone somewhere else. Customer service sucked. We didn't know and asked some questions so the girl at the register told us to sit down until we figure out what we want. What I want is the special that was posted all over Facebook and Instagram. So she asked her other worker to ring us up. Honestly it wasn't that busy and we never go to the National Bubbe tea day so we were curious and thought hey why not.. sounds like a good deal.. Not!! so I was disappointed. The app keeps freezing and turning off so I just delete it. Maybe next time, they should be more clear on what we the consumer would be expecting on National Bubble Tea Day since KungFu tea was the one that started. read more

So sad that this boba wasn't as good as I expected. The customer service was not the best even though I understood they were busy they weren't keeping track of who's drinks belonged to who and what the party was missing. read more

Always love Kung fu tea! We order for delivery all the time and have yet to be disappointed. We love ordered from here, very consistent with everything. read more

TBH I am really not a frequent boba drinker. I have boba once in awhile for example every other month. Those days of drinking boba daily were gone LOL (teenage days). Kung Fu tea is the only bubble location in Santee and I was hankering for some boba. The location is very convenient to where I live, it is literally about two miles away. I will say I am no connoisseur of the boba, but I really do love the quality of their boba here. I feel that bubba drinks are way more expensive than they should be so that's why I only buy it every other month aside from no cravings (ranting)... But the Kung Fu tea has really good ingredients and they make their drinks very well and again their boba is very good. From the texture to the taste! read more

A tea/boba place in Santee?? Whut?? I was so excited to see this in the same strip mall as Pho Ca Dao. There is a nice variety of drinks on their menu. They had the traditional selections: green, black, oolong, milk teas, fruity slushes and coffee. They even have unique flavors that I haven't seen anywhere else like Logan jujube tea (sweetened tea with bits of Logan and jujube fruit). My mom used to make a pitcher of this during summer and it would be so refreshing. Of course I had to try. Tastes just like Mom's but better (cuz I added boba). Don't tell her tho. The place is standard but I did notice the platform seating in the corner, where you have to sit like cross cross applesauce. Cute. They also make puffles here with ice cream. This will be my go to spot for tea/boba whenever I'm in the area. read more

I love coming here not only for the boba drinks but also for the puffle, aka Chinese pancakes. They look like bubble wrappers but really delicious to eat. The ones I used to get back in New York City were in Chinatown from the street carts where it cost 10 for a $1. The ones at King Fu Tea is a pandan flavor and its the color green. I've had it plain and with ice cream, which I really indulge since you can pick the flavor of ice cream and toppings. I like how they serve mini shovels as spoons like your digging for gold makes this treat photo ready too! The drinks you must try and are my go-to's: Taro milk tea, I get it at less sugar level since the boba is sweet already Kung fu green milk tea with boba, less sugar, delicious cold and warm Matcha green tea with boba less sugar I like the ambiance of this spot too! Sometimes my family and I will stay-in to play some of the board games they have too. read more

I always go to the location in Convoy, but we were in the area and stopped by here. The establishment is smaller, but brighter and better insulated. The a/c was on so high I was actually cold! I ordered the new Carribean Breeze, and it was actually a very subtle flavored smoothie. Also got the Wintermelon Milk Tea and it tasted as it should. I love that they have tons of board games here as well. Overall, another good spot for boba drinks. P.S. I also noticed they serve Bubble Waffle with Ice Cream here! read more

Aside from the Kearny Mesa location. This location isn't busy with a line crazy out the door. This is our usual Saturday evening spot once a week. Drinks are always consistent (mine anyways) and a super fast turn around. Affordable (subjective) and pretty cool inside, though we never sit inside. Parking sometimes on the evening, especially on Saturday nights is full, even though it's a big lot, they share it with a couple of restaurants. Not much to say about it, we can never have enough tea/boba place in San Diego. read more

This place is by far the best boba place I have ever tried! I only started coming here about a month but my family & I are addicted !

This place is the worst for Thai tea. First off the tea should be orange in color not brown. Then they use a mystery powder instead of creamer. GROSS!!!!! The tea tasted nothing like Thai tea. I have posted pics so you can see. The only thing that was good was the boba. Worst 28 dollars I spent on tea. read more

We really like Kung Fu Tea in Santee. We've enjoyed everything we've ordered so far. I like the milk teas, my son LOVES the java bubbles, and my daughter loves the slushies. My only gripe is how long it takes for my order to be ready. I order in advance from my phone, and still it takes several minutes for it to be ready once I arrive. It's a popular place so they are very busy. I wish they were open earlier than 11am since I like to order caffeinated drinks there, and I don't drink caffeine in the PM. read more

Great tea, consistent flavors and even better, they have hot drink options :) I tried the milk tea (hot) and it really hot the spot for a cold day. The Rancho location also has a decent amount of seating and cute ambiance with great service. read more

My 11 year old loves boba and kung fu is one of our favorites. Her stomach does get upset with dairy so still trying to figure out what works read more

This is my favorite boba place. It's easy to order & pay via the app and pick up. They have a lot of different flavors-- you can get just a juice-based drink, or fruity tea, or green tea, or black tea, etc with various kinds of milk. You can specify how much sugar and ice you want and add your boba or other mix-ins. Then you walk in and tell them the name on the order and it's ready! I like that the drinks are sealed via some kind of machine; you punch through the seal with their jumbo straw. read more

Probably my favorite place now since I've been coming here every month with a very amazing person. We go eat at the Pho next door, and go here afterwards for some amazing tea and boba. It would be awesome if there are serving food as well, but that's okay. I like Taro Slush and my friend enjoys her boring Thai Tea Boba no sugar. Boo!!! They also have puffle cakes and other types of drinks. It is an amazing place for Santee. read more

Love that this cafe is in the middle of Santee This authentic boba joint is the place to be The egg waffles are a great addition to the store You can actually smell it before you step into the door The YOGURT GREEN TEA is a definite must And the LYCHEE BLACK TEA is made with some magic dust Huge parking lot here, so no worries there The baristas treat with their drinks and food with care :) Had to dock a star b/c this is not my favorite place But in my heart, they're a close second place. read more

I love getting boba & this is the spot! Came across it randomly and I'm so grateful! This place is so cute

Get the brown sugar boba with 120% sweetness. That's the only right way to do it. I typically go to Mira Mesa to a specific boba shop but this place suffices. Waits are pretty short and they come out with drinks relatively quick compared to other boba shops I've been to during the pandamic. But as always you have to come here to try it out for yourself. I recommend maybe even calling in the order/ ordering online for a better experience. read more

Very happy with our order. Thank you so much! My girls order both the strawberry lemonade but one gets it with aloe jelly and the other gets it with boba. They both are obsessed! read more

Finally, a boba place in Santee! We came in on Wednesday afternoon and there were 2 ladies working. One was taking orders and the other was making drinks. There were a few people ahead of us but the drinks came out pretty fast. We barely had a chance to sit down. We ordered honey green tea and the mango green tea. Both were delicious! We ordered the mango green tea to be half sweeten but will order it to be not sweetened next time because I think the mango it in makes it a little extra sweet. Parking spots are hard to find in that little area. read more

This did not look Thai Tea, but I left with it. Turns out to not taste like Thai tea either. read more
