Kung Fu Tea review

Coffee & Tea in Chinatown, Houston

A coffee & tea spot in Chinatown remembered for the small size and the ice to milk ratio was just fine and an overall positive visit.

Sara's full firsthand review

So I had a nice experience here on a busy Saturday night. Went with some friends and surprisingly the line wasn't too long. If anything, the line was quick and efficient. At almost any tapioca joint, my go to order is the iced milk tea with tapioca. Sometimes i'll order hot milk tea, but for the most part, in this hot city - I usually opt for the iced version. The milk tea with tapioca was made rather quickly! Everyone's order was delivered at the same time. My beverage was crisp, creamy and frothy. The tapioca pearls themselves were perfect - firm, chewy and sweet. The milk tea here is pretty good, it has the light floral scent of jasmine. I opted for the small size and the ice to milk ratio was just fine. The sweetness level was just right for my liking, I didn't have to adjust or anything. I believe the machines they use create a light and frothy beverage. Sure the prices might be a little steep, but I don't drink tapioca beverages as often as I used to. Far too many calories and amount of sugar personally - haha! Although, I definitely know where to head when i'm craving a crisp and sweet milk tea with tapioca. They have a large menu and I may try something new next time around. This is a nice spot to bring friends as their are many tables spread across the cafe, ranging from small tables to large. Can get quite noisy on the weekend though, but that didnt bother us too much. Customer service was just fine and we werent bothered. They were even closing but didnt push us out or anything. Check out this place if you're ever in the area!
