This place was packed when we arrived. Line was out the door and you can only fit 10 people in there max. We were able to get our mango, black tea, winter melon milk tea in less than 10 minutes. The teas did not taste very sweet. You could tell the difference in each drink with the distinct flavor. The tapioca balls are at another level. Very chewy and for some reason it tastes better than the competitors. I'll be back to try their matcha and slush drinks.
Cash only location. Line can be long.
I'm addicted to tea and I frequent a Kung fu tea at least once a week. Their teas are consistent across their locations in Manhattan and I'm glad they started serving milk caps with their teas. Their boba is never hard and consistently chewy
The service at this Kung Fu Tea is appalling! To be fair, I liked that the people who worked there were honest, and I ended up with a really delicious bubble tea, but…if 4 out of the 5 items I chose garnered such intense looks of digust and statements such as, "Are you sure?" Are you sure? Are you SURE? Whatever, it's your life." then perhaps as the owner of this establishment you should take a look at your offerings and see if they are worth it to put on the menu.
I finally got some excitment when I ordered the Oolong Milk Tea with Boba! I'm glad I ordered it because it was really good, but the experience here really has me thinking about whether or not I want to come back.
Who am I kidding? The tea was so good, of course I will. I already know this.
Chinatown hot spot! My son is a big West Coast Boba fan, in NYC aka Bubble Tea. Cheap and convenient, hit the spot on a hot day.
I love that you're able to customize the sweetness and ice levels here. I always try one of the fruit teas since I'm lactose intolerant, but I think for some drinks, they have lactaid milk available? The boba/bubbles here are always good, not too soft or hard, just the right amount of chewiness. Grapefruit, passionfruit, and strawberry are some of my favorites!
Kung Fu, Ten Ren, and sometimes Gong Cha make the highest quality milk tea, both in terms of the tea and the add-ins. I was craving milk tea with red bean, so we popped in here for the red bean wow milk with boba. It had a creamy red bean flavor and definitely satisfied my craving. I only wish I could have asked for less sugar, which I usually do for all milk teas. Kung Fu only takes cash, and my small drink was almost $5, but I would come back here. It's also conveniently located next to the J, Z, and 6 train stations.
Excellent drinks and fast service. Cheap price and variety of drinks to choose. Worth coming to hang out and chit-chat.
My favorite is the Mango Slush, a recommended choice for you to try it out!
Ohhhhhhhh man! So I had never heard of "Kung Fu Tea" but this past Monday I was walking around Chinatown with two of my favorite ladies after having a fantastic dim sum brunch and some Chinatown Fair Arcade hangs. One friend really needed to use the restroom and another friend reeeeeeeally had a craving for Oreo Milk Bubble Tea (that friend was meeeeeee!) and I was hoping that we could find a place to satisfy both needs.
After two false alarms for my milk tea we ended up deciding to just hop on a train to midtown so my friend could use our other friend's bathroom – but then I spotted Kung Fu Tea and yelled something along the lines of, "OMGLOOKTEEEEAPLACEHOPETHEYHAVEOREOMILKTEAACKOMGGIMMIE" – seriously, I feel like I probably said this all in one breath.
Upon entering and glancing over their menu, I immediately saw it…OREO MILK TEA!!! Not everyone has the Oreo variety and I'm not often in Chinatown so it's rare when I can get my hands on one of these suckers and so I was elated. I ordered it in a Large because GO HARD OR GO OREO – I mean – HOME.
I don't like tapioca balls – their gelatinous texture is weird to me (although I like Jello, a lot…meh) so they poured in ice, tea, milk, oreos and whatever else goes into making this delicious thing, popped a Kung Fu Tea branded seal on it and off it went to the Bubble Tea shaking machine. That thing looks like so much fun. Kind of wish I had one of these at home, lol.
My Oreo Milk Tea was freakin' DELICIOUS and everything I needed. All the feels. Writing this review is making me crave one RIGHT NOW THIS MINUTE!
Alas, they didn't have a restroom for my friend who needed to go – but the guy who took and made my order was really friendly + this place is clean and super cute. I also found out that they are a chain and there is apparently one not too far from my job (but too far for me to bounce to during lunch) but still – this excites me.
5 stars. 5 whole Oreo-shaped stars. I cannot WAIT to be back :).
