Kung Fu Tea

I have Oreo milk tea and it was so good, the boba came w it was very good too, I customized my sugar was 30% but it was still sweet. No sugar for me next time. It was next to King burger so watch out if you don’t want to miss it!

My son got the Red Bean KungFu Slush today after his swim meet at the U. There were small and big chunks of sharp plastic pieces in the drink. We went back to the store to complain but the person at the counter dismissed us. I am writing a complaint to the health department.

Definitely my new favorite place to get bubble tea! The tapioca pearls are the best I’ve ever had — sweet and chewy! I’ve only had the milk tea so far (because that’s my go-​to at most boba places) and it’s AMAZING. They give you the option to make it less sweet/​sweet/​extra sweet, which is nice. Customer service is great and really helpful. I’ll definitely be returning soon :-)

Worth the drive to U of M for this place, their KF taro milk tea was really good even without any added sugar. Will definitely come back when back in town and try the other top 10 popular choices.
Not much room to wait or sit is thr only complaint and can get really crowded fast so try to come during non-​busy periods.

The boba tea here is my ishhhhh
I’ve converted from Teagarden to Chatime to Kungfutea,
I’ve gone here at least 3 times this week; the taro milk green tea is like crack to me now.
Skip the bubbles go for the herbal jelly

The best bubble tea in town！！！ i go to there every Saturday，service is good， always have a nice cinversation with the girls。 I would hightly recommend this place to my friend red bean wow milk。 its my farvorites！！

Love this place! I can’t go a week without my Taro Milk Green Tea with pearls. I’ve tried a couple of places; Sencha, Chatime and some other places. But KungFu tea is still my all time favorite. They have the best tapioca pearls I’ve had in MN.

Really good!!! I drink everyday and recommend milk cup and Oolong milk tea! Really my favorite drinks in Mn.

I don’t know there is a milk tea place in campus till my friend bring me there, I didn’t like bubble before, but after I try their bubble, i am in love with it! It is very close by where I live, so I always stop in when I pass by. Love all the taro products there and the fruit tea is awesome as well.
The workers there are so sweet. I am pretty familiar with them since I went there so often. When they are not busy, we can chat and stuff. Love this place

They have really good bubble tea here! Their tea can be a little sugary, but you can get half sugar and it tastes really good. Their bubbles are the best part though — there is a slight honey taste that I think really makes them delicious. Overall, good prices as well. Their service is also quick and friendly. A really great option for bubble tea in the Midwest!

I been to many bubble tea joints in MN, and this is by far my favorite. Its pretty much a tiny place/​hole-​in-​the-​wall (and those are always the best), so don’t expect to go in and chill with friends or study there. Its a grab-​and-​go type of place.
Here are my reasons for loving this place:
–Their tea doesn’t taste artificial/​powdery like most places
–Huge selection of flavors for all the adventurous people out there
–Their boba/​tapioca pearls/​bubble are soft, juicy and fresh. Even in slushies
–Not overly sweet, no need to tell them how much sugar is needed, its already perfect as is
Recommend to drink
1. Mung bean slush (my husband’s favorite, its pretty much mung bean ice cream in a cup, if you’re into that kind of thing)
2. Honey green tea with nata jelly and pearls (light and refreshing)

nice bobba spot near UMN. Small spot, entrance is connected to BK entrance. Get a hot milk tea or coconut milk tea w/​regular sugar. It does have a distinct taste, not too sure what it is. It’s not bad, just different

There are many Kung Fu Teas back in Chicago. However, we happen to be roaming the area and found this spot! I never really LOVED Kung Fu Tea, but I never thought it was bad either.
The shop is SMALL. If you wanted to study here, this is a no go. You might as well U-​turn and go to Sencha or Chatime for study space. The staff was not knowledgeable at all with their drinks. I even asked how long they’ve been here for, and they said a year! You still haven’t trained your staff?
The drinks were mediocre, and I felt as though the staff was confused on what to do since our order was large. My drink was actually not that bad, however, I tried some of the other drinks and they were not up to par. If you want boba, I guess you could come here. However, it’s not all that.

I’m going to be honest, the tea here is not all that great but the bubbles are good.
The nala jelly leaves a bitter taste, which kind of ruins your drink.
the strawberry lemon tasted sour.
Out of the 5 drinks we got, I think I liked 1 of them.
The bubbles are good here! They definitely don’t have as many option as the other competitive bubble tea stores around here though.
Staff is all new so they don’t really know how to describe or tell you about the menu.
It’s a very small store kind of hidden.

Unless you speak Chinese, it’s very hard to order with this place. I’m fluent in a different dialect of Chinese but even if so I never feel the need to use my native tongue to order things (what’s the need for it, we’re in America). I frequent this place often, but I’m starting to turn away from this place when they constantly mess up my order. I always order the same thing «winter melon green tea» but lately when I arrive even if I clarify it’s the tea and not milk tea, the cashier somehow misunderstands me and gives me a milk tea version of my drink. This is rather upsetting. They remake the order for me without any issues, but it happens so often, that it’s rather disappointing when this has become my beloved place for boba teas.

Excellent flavors that are comparable to places in California. Kung fu tea and another milk tea place, are the only two places I venture. I love how you can customize your drink’s sweetness and ice content (the less the ice, the more the tea ;) in my opinion).
My two go-​to drinks are: white gourd green tea with herbal jelly and golden oolong milk tea with pearls. I customize mine so it’s less sweet but I love how both teas allow you to truly taste the tea in the drink. Most places are afraid of the bitterness from green teas or the «golden» taste oolong can give so I’m happy these shine through.

I love, love, love boba. I am addicted. Prior to this store opening, I was most definitely a regular at Chatime, but I was excited to see a new store coming.
Living in California for a short amount of time, it’s hard for me to give this store 5 stars because I feel that many of their drinks can improve. Although their boba seems to be perfected (unless you show up right when the store opens, which I’ve experienced bland boba about twice in this situation), their milk tea drinks could use improvement. I personally think their original milk tea tastes a little odd and almond milk tea is also one of my most favorite drink at other boba stores, but I wasn’t at all impressed by theirs. It seemed very thick and the milk has a weird aftertaste to it.
I try to attempt different drinks here and there so I can get a better idea and taste range of all their drinks. I tried the oreo milk tea once and thought it’d be more like an oreo slushi, but it was literally milk tea with ground up oreo chunks in it that ended up settling immediately after I received the drink.
The drinks that I have most been impressed with are oolong milk tea with added grass jelly and boba, white gourd, or honey green tea, the latter two being more refreshing on a hot, summer day. Although the drinks aren’t amazing, they are probably the closest to authentic boba in Minnesota. I still miss boba from California though.

First time I’ve had Kung fu tea was in Las Vegas and was stoked when I heard there’s one here in MN! Awesome! It’s conveniently located in a small strip mall near dinky town so parking was no issue. The tea shop is VERY tiny, no where really to sit and chat or work on homework, etc. More of a grab and go place. The menu is awesome, authentic Taiwanese bubble tea! I order the Kung fu milk tea with pearls and what’s cool is you can adjust your preference of sugar level! This place has the best tapioca pearls — chewy, sweet and not gross! Their pearls are always fresh! Customer service totally lacking — staff is not the friend list or happiest. They don’t greet you and I didn’t like it how they don’t read the order back to ensure accuracy. They seemed a tad snobby and disinterested in their customers. Product is great but customer service needs to change that’s why they get 4 stars.

I was obsessed with the Oolong Milk Tea when Publika first opened with ChaiTime drinks, and now I am super obsessed with the Taro slush from this place. It is super creamy and super taro-​y. It pretty much feels like you are sipping/​slurping slightly melted Taro ice cream through a straw!
I also really liked their tea options — the citron tea or even just the basic kungfu green tea is great there! I admit that I do prefer relatively strong tea that leaves an earthy after taste in your mouth, and this place does just that! Their tea is super fragrant too!
However, I would say that I like Chai Time’s pearls more — they are slight bigger and chewier. Other than that, I never crave for Chai Time anymore! It’s too bad that this is a bit far for me now since I have moved away from campus, but there were a couple times I made the 15 minutes drive just to get a drink from here.
Does anyone go to Tea Garden anymore? (Except that it’s more spacious to study)

Hi ya! Strike, punch, and a kick! No really when you stop into this new bubble tea place that’s what you get (in the names that is).
Thumbs up:
–Variety of flavors
–Level up on your sugar rush or ask for less ice
–Competitively priced
–Nice local owners
–Punch card, oh yeah, rack up the frequent drinks and get a free drink
–Um cute name
–Lactose free options
Thumbs down:
–It’s hot in there, the times I have visited the place it’s hot and humid, no fun.
–Small space, not much space to chill and sip your drink. So grab it and go.
–Parking can be tricky in the heart of the U of M.
Tip: start with less sugar or else it’s pretty sweet. Work your way up from there.

Finally a good boba place has opened in Minnesota. As a California transplant… I have been spoiled by a huge and delicious selection of boba locations. Tea Garden, Publika, Chatime and other various Asian restaurants that serve boba have failed to satisfy my cravings. Move over Tea Garden, a new boba king is in town. There’s absolutely no reason to go to Tea Garden, except if you’re too lazy to walk a couple more blocks to Kung Fu Tea. The location is somewhat small and can get a little crowded once the word spreads that a new boba location have come to take over Minnesota. Boba here is expensive due to the lack of competition that would naturally help drive prices down. I’m missing the places in California with $ 1.00 or $ 1.50 boba milk teas. O well, it is what it is. I probably only plan on coming once a month at most.
I ordered the Red Wow with less sugar (70%), which contains red bean, boba, and milk tea. The boba was in its absolute perfect chewiness. Not too hard nor too soft. The milk tea was quite good as well, very much to my liking. With that said, next time (tomorrow), I’ll be ordering a Large Size and this time with normal amount of sugar. I have a semi-​sweet tooth, and I felt less sugar wasn’t fulfilling my sugar cravings.
Kung Fu Tea originated in Taiwan and has quickly expanded to the U.S. Kung Fu Tea has largely been located on the East Coast (New York), but have quickly expanded to California, Texas and now to Minneapolis.
Update Day 2:
I went in with some friends and I wanted to try the almond milk tea with boba, but unfortunately they said they don’t have the ingredients right now. I took away a star. It was a little disappointing, but I decided to go for the Red Wow again but this time with regular amount of sugar. While it was slightly sweeter than yesterday’s, it wasn’t to my liking. It was still good though, and I guess it’s healthier. I’m hoping they have almond milk tea sometime in the near future, until then, I’ll be going back everyday until their BOGO deal is gone.
Just come here and satisfy your cravings and more! After a year of being boba free, I think it’s time to get back into it.
P. S. It’s soda not pop. It’s boba not bubble tea or pearl milk tea.
