I have been a customer of KFT Fort Lee for 7 years and running now, around their time of opening in Washington Bridge Plaza. Back then, I'd just come once a month and as a boba purist, just ordering straight bubble tea in the OG flavors - classic, taro, and almond. I was a repeat customer due to the consistency that no other tea places in the area have - the fact that the boba texture and temperature was more often than not sublime, achieving the perfect ratio of chewy vs melty in the tapioca. But after they introduced the mango tea flavor last autumn and shortly after that free stickers (usually anime but we've also picked up Disney/Marvel and even adult-oriented humor), my 9-year old was hooked and thus, Kung Fu has joined McDonald's (Free Fry Fridays) and Moe's (Kids Eat Free Sundays) as a never-miss weekly event for us. Money-saving promos at KFT are few and far between but the amazing tea baristas behind the counter are so welcoming, generous, and make drinks so decadently delicious that you never feel short-changed.
Speaking of, shout out to Yuna, Zaida, Paulina, Misa, Irene, and Henry for making KFT truly the best place to grab a multitude of satisfying and exotic beverages. Only their levels of service and artistry, infused with their sweet sweet vibrant personalities can compare to the explosive sugary goodness (literally - best experienced in the mango "popping bubbles" in a fruity slush, one of my favorties now - yes, I've come a long way from the classic boba-only days) you get in their crazy-delicious concoctions. Just last week in fact was quite the memorable experience when Yuna crafted the perfect Leading Lady - liquid peaches and cream heaven. Peach is hands down my favorite articifical flavor and I've held an appreciation for Princess Peach for the past 35 years - predating "Peach", during her "Toadstool" days of Super Marios 1-3 - and Yuna did her justice in the most refreshingly pleasing way. Yuna, you and the rest of the team are total sweethearts. We'll see...
Read moreOverall great bubble tea store for bubble tea newcomers and veterans alike.
If you're a newcomer to bubble tea like me, it's hard to know where to begin when it comes to ordering your drink. Luckily, if you simply ask or explain what you want out of your drink, the workers at KFT have a pretty good idea of what to do to give you what you want. I personally enjoyed a honey oolong milk tea that was well-tailored for my palette on one occasion and a similarly suited mango slush on another. Both of these I recommend and I'm definitely excited for my next chance to have these drinks and to try out other options. However, if you're not comfortable talking through your order or don't want to hold up a line, KFT doesn't offer much aid to newcomers to make a quick or certain decision.
Another great element of this place is the staff. They're all very friendly and amicable not only when talking with customers, but with themselves too. Even though they spoke amongst themselves in Mandarin (which I can't speak), their energy was infections and inspired confidence in the quality of...
Read moreI recently visited Kung Fu Tea on Lemoine Ave in Fort Lee for the first time, and it was also my very first time trying boba tea. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m so glad I stopped in. The experience was fantastic from start to finish.
The staff was polite, patient, and welcoming — which made a huge difference for someone new to bubble tea. They took the time to explain the menu and helped me choose a drink that matched my taste preferences. I really appreciated how friendly and knowledgeable they were.
The drink itself was absolutely delicious. The tea was flavorful, refreshing, and just sweet enough. The boba pearls were perfectly chewy and fresh — I can see why people love them! The store was also very clean and had a nice, modern atmosphere. It’s clear they take pride in their service and product quality.
I left feeling really satisfied with the whole experience. Kung Fu Tea made my first boba tea a memorable one, and I’m already looking forward to going back and trying more flavors. Highly recommend this location, especially if you’re new to bubble...
