Kung Fu Tea

Kung Fu Tea is so sweet. Even when you ask for less sugar, it still tastes ridiculously sweet. You’re probably better off asking for an unsweetened drink; the sugar might actually be a tolerable level then. The boba is fine, but so is most boba in the area. Sometimes they have cute promotionals going on, though, but none of it really matters if you’re just going to choke me with sweetness T_​_​_​_​T
Maybe it’s not always like this, but I’d rather go to places that are consistently kind to my palate than take a gamble on Kung Fu Tea.

Kung fu tea, the boba tea go-​to place for my bf and I. We get boba tea from Kung fu tea at least once or twice a
yesterday, we went to the one in Chinatown for our usual dose of boba tea but then the kid at the register told us they went out of boba with an attitude. I mean, a boba place that doesn’t have boba, okay?! I guess it’s just an once in a million chance that I ran into. Next day, my boba tea crave today has hit a new high, so I went back for some boba tea and guess what?! They are still out of boba! It’s like walking into McDonald’s and they tell u they sold out of fries! Two days straight! That’s just unacceptable! So we ending up going to chattime! Bye kingfu tea! Hello chattime!

A very small establishment but the service is great. I’ve been multiple times and the ingredients used are very fresh. The matcha slush is my favorite thing to get. The prices are a little high but it’s worth it when the quality is good.

ALRIGHT!
The line out here is pretty long, so this must be good. These guys know what’s up. It’s pretty warm though, and I suspect all the excess heat in here could get all the homeless Canadians through the winter, but that’s okay. It’ll all be worth it for some awesome bubble tea.
A girl readies up someone’s order, but nobody comes to claim it. She looks irritated. A good 10 – 15 minutes go by before I get up to the counter.
«Hi,» she says in a surly mood.
«I’ll take a medium milk tea with bubbles, please.»
«We don’t have any bubbles.»
Oh, you don’t have any bubbles? So a bubble tea place with no bubbles? Like a car dealership that’s got no cars? Or a caravan that’s got no wheels?
Alright, I get it, maybe you guys ran out halfway through the day due to poor planning. Maybe the bubble-​delivery dude ditched work. Maybe a stray dog came and you had to donate all the bubbles to his cause. It’s obvious you’re mad about having to tell every person coming in that you have no bubbles left, because hey, why the hell would they expect that at such an establishment.
Put up a sign! Yell it to me when I walk in the door! You’re gonna make me and everyone else in line wait, just to tell us when we get to the front that you ain’t got the one thing you’re supposed to have?
Like if I waited in line at the DMV and when I get to the front, they say «sorry, we don’t register vehicles anymore.»
Like if I went to a burger joint and waited for the cashier to tell me «hey, we don’t have any more burgers.»
Jeez, that’d be almost as bad as if I walked into a bubble tea store and waited 15 minutes for them to tell me they don’t have bubble tea.

The tea was flavorful and Boba is the best around. It’s so soft and chewy. I can’t get enough of it. The workers are friendly and the service is quick. I’ll be back.

The Kung Fu Tea in Chinatown is small, so expect to come here if you only want to run in and out. There weren’t any tables, just four chairs, and a potential line out the door.
I would have to say, the boba at KFT is so great with how it’s cooked. It is soft and chewy, clearly made well. Some places undercook the boba, making bubble tea a little less enjoyable.
The milk teas are made with Lactaid, so if you are lactose intolerant, have no fear, because your GI will not hate you should you decide to drink KFT’s milk tea.

Kung Fu Tea is my favorite place to get milk teas. But this location lacks consistency. Sometimes the teas taste good and other times they taste watery. I like their boba the best, chewy and sweet. I like that you can adjust the sugar and ice levels. I usually get the milk tea or green milk tea with boba. I actually prefer the creamy taste of the drinks. The staff is mostly teenagers and the last few times they just ignored me until finally someone got up to take my order.
This is the most convenient location for me so I’ll definitely be back for my boba fix.

Not every Kung Fu Tea created equal — yymv
Tea must have flavor, Bubble must not be mussy and little chewy, sugar level should be have good amount of sweet that not take over Tea’s flavor. Milk is a key in here that if too much milk it wil ruin the whole drink.
But this store can’t delivery anything i described above. I save my money and spend on other Kung fu tea store.

I have yet to find a Kung Fu Tea that has the same great quality taste as the one in St. Marks village in New York. This tea is just so so. There is nothing much from this kung fu tea. The taste is a little lacking and it feels that something is missing. The depth in the drinks isn’t there.

Ah yes. Kung Fu Tea now in Boston Chinatown. When I was here a couple of years ago, the only Kung Fu Tea was in Allston. I am glad that they now are opening up so many new locations in the Boston area! The boba is sweet, chewy, and honey– they never go wrong or never seem to have a bad day! I love the Oolong milk tea– I always get it with half sugar because the honey boba is pretty sweet already in itself. Ask for less ice if you want more liquidy goodness as well! I wish they had a stamp card, seeing how addicting this place is!
Recently, I tried the WOW milk– and I was mildly disappointed by this. It basically tasted like Lactaid with boba, and not creamy at all. I would just stick with the normal milk teas. If you have to get the WOW milk, add herbal jelly or red beans with it to spice it up. Other than that, the menu is quite extensive and most choices are great ones. Definitely will be back in the near future.

Top drinks here have to be Golden Oolong Milk Tea and Milk Green Tea! Both with less sugar and less ice!
I really enjoy the milk tea here, not too much powder or not too much water. In the beginning it was a rough start, but overtime I have seem a lot of improvement in their drinks and especially their boba! Most of the time you can find the boba to be cooked to perfection, but there are rare cases where it’s ok.
The staff here is really weird too, in a funny way LOL. It makes me laugh and it doesn’t get in their way of working efficiently.

I ordered the lychee punch like I usually do at the Harvard Ave location. This Kung Fu Tea’s sweetness level is WAY stronger. I ordered half sweet and it tasted like straight syrup. The staff was nice and made another one for me though. If you don’t like sweet items, definitely suggest less sweetness 30%

I’m obsessed with this place and its multiple locations. I know nothing about bubble tea, I just know that everything I’ve had here, from the taro to Oreo milk teas to various slushes, has been delicious. Some people crave iced coffee on a hot summer day, I crave bubble tea.

To be quite honest, I never thought I would drink boba (or milk tea), in the East Coast! California should be the king of milk teas… but who knew! My cousin brought me here on a rainy Thursday night, my last day in Boston. We had just finished dinner at Taiwan Café (also HIGHLY recommend!) and walked down here for some boba!
There are multiple locations around here, but this one is the closest one in Chinatown. It also seems relatively new, because it was hard to find on Unilocal!But it was definitely worth the extra minute of searching!
We looked at the menu for a while and were at awe of how extended the options were! I settled down with the:
Taro Green Tea Milk Tea (Large, 70% sugar, less ice)
I chose those because my boyfriend was looking between Taro milk tea OR green tea milk tea. BUT holy! Kungfu Tea to the rescue… gave us the best of both flavors in this cup!
There was no one in the store (too rainy…) so we got to order quickly. Most people came, ordered and left. We decided to stay and drink our milk teas.
Pros:
–Boba was soft, sweet and delicious! Definitely cooked fresh (daily) and brewed in brown sugar for the softness!
–Good portion sizes! Definitely get large… you will be hooked!
–Good variety! SO many flavors! Look at it and be astounded!
–Good price! Reasonable and definitely worth it!
–Flexible concoctions! They have so many options for ice, sugar… and now they are introducing «egg pudding» instead of boba! 50 cents for additional toppings.
–Fast service! They give you your drinks within 5 minutes!
Cons:
–Staff was not as excited as I was…(but definitely not docking off any points for flavor or their quick service!)
–It’s hard to infuse two such strong flavors – and though they did it well, but the tea wasn’t as strong as I had hoped it would be. The ratio of milk to tea was a little too high, so I was getting more frothiness in my mouth than the flavorful hit of tea.
Tips/​observations:
–50 cents per each topping! Definitely reasonable.
Overall, I wish there was a Kungfu tea in California! I would be addicted!

No sassy/​premium green tea employers awesome! Coming from Houston I did not want to give KFT a chance since my experience in H-​Town was not very welcoming. This place proved to me not every location is the same!
Got my fav, the large KFT Green Milk Tea w/​Boba (Hot) for $ 4.50 and to prepare for tomorrow’s storm their new large Lychee Punch currently on special for $ 3.50! It would have been nice to sit down to enjoy these drinks but the store was very small and had limited seating so I had mine to go. The employee was more than happy to bag it to go for me and was so sweet by reminding me to be careful so I wouldn’t spill my drink. =)
So in other boba spots, places like to fill their drinks about 90−95% to the rim but nope in this KFT location you get 99−100% filled. I opened my Hot Green Milk Tea thinking there would be some room for me to drink out from the cup but nope I ended up spilling a bit because it was filled to the rim. Silly me for spilling such precious warm green milk tea but now I know KFT is definitely not being skimpy on me =)
Definitely come to this location and enjoy their delicious drinks. Just be warned that there might not be any seats so if you don’t mind standing around or having a drink to go this is your next boba hot spot!

Kung Fu Tea in Chinatown is very small and has only two tables and 5 chairs set up so it is not the most ideal place to visit if you are looking to find a seat. However, in terms of their beverages, they did an excellent job of making my coffee kung fun slush.
If you are ever in the area, I would highly recommend this KFT chain!

This place really likes to make their drinks milky!
Got a green milk tea which felt pretty heavy but okay.
Service was also alright but definitely a lot of people working compared to customers on my visit.

Honey boba!
Quality tea!
Customizable sweetness and toppings!
Cheerful music!
Friendly staff!
Free wifi!
Clean and cozy environment with seasonable décor!
Comfortable seats!
⁵⁄₅ in a heartbeat! :) This is my new go-​to place for boba in Chinatown.

I have been waiting over a year for Kung fu tea to open in Chinatown. Kung fu tea has the best boba in Boston.
I am very particular about my boba. Kung fu tea has it right. It has the perfect chewiness to it. Some places either has it too hard or too mushy. Another thing I like about the boba is that it is honey flavored. I hate when tea shops don’t flavor their boba. Nobody likes to be chewing on bland balls!
Kung fu tea also has a variety of teas to choose from. They have black tea, jasmine green tea, and oolong tea. All are freshly brewed from tea leaves unlike some places that use tea powder to make their drinks.
The milk tea drinks are perfect! I always get bubble milk green tea with 50% sugar and less ice because the boba itself is already sweetened.
Despite the fact that there isn’t air conditioning in the store and the place is kind of small, I would choose Kung fu tea over the other boba drink places in Chinatown any day!

I love Kung Fu Tea! I am glad they finally expanded to Boston and now they have 4 locations here! I went here for their grand opening and got their bogo deal. I tried their red wow and milk tea with bubbles. They are both good choices! I usually order the green milk tea with boba here! The good thing about kung fu tea is you can adjust the sweetness and amount of ice you want in your drinks. They also have a wide selection of drinks to choose from.
The workers here don’t look that happy to work here though. It is probably because there is no AC inside and it’s kind of stuffy in there! I wish there is more seating area. They also have wifi. I love how it’s so convenient for me and I don’t have to take the T just to get Kung Fu Tea anymore!
