| - I find it interesting that Kung Fu Tea is a separate listing from Kenko, considering that Kenko is basically the establishment that sells Kung Fu Tea. Regardless, as they are listed separately, I will give a review for just the bubble tea.
When I was initially recommended this place last year, I was admittedly skeptical. I was never that big on bubble tea, but I knew quite a bit about Asian cuisine in the Cleveland area, and I had not heard of this place. My friend told me she loved the bubble tea here, but I was not a big bubble tea drinker at the time, so I gave a good but not excellent review of Kung Fu Tea.
Now that I have sampled a few more boba places in major cities and returned to this location several times, I can unequivocally say Kung Fu Tea is the best place for boba in the Cleveland area. As far as overall bubble tea in the northeast Ohio area, only Ha!Tea in Kent offers comparable competition. This is the only place in Cleveland that has such a wide variety of flavors and customization options. For me, being able to halve the amount of sugar used is a huge benefit, as I find most sweet teas to be way too sugary by default. The ability to use other additives besides boba (such as nata jelly and mango pudding) is great too.
When it comes to things like dessert and bubble tea, I rarely tend to get the natural default flavor. While I didn't think the standard milk bubble tea was anything exciting, I very much enjoyed their other unique flavors, such as oreo and black sesame. I will admit that this is one place I've returned to on more occasions than I'd like to admit, which is why I am bumping my rating of Kung Fu Tea from a 4 star to a 5 star.
