| - Coming from the makers of Pittsburgh's rising chain star, Sushi Fuku, Fuku Tea and its bubble tea enterprise may not be heaven on earth, but it's sure darn better than what you can find in the rest of greater Pittsburgh.
Now let's get to most important part. The taste. The bubbles are good, real good. They're freshly made, so you get them in your cup warm and perfectly chewy. So many times, I've experienced bubble tea that just went down the drain because the bubbles were simply not adequate - too mushy, too undercooked, too unfresh - it's simply no good. Fuku Tea understands the importance of good tapioca bubbles, and thankfully, they've rejustified the gastronomic prowess that PMT has long reigned within Asian food culture.
As for the flavor and quality, the options are endless. Now that is a true bubble tea chain. Want jelly or pudding instead of the ol' tapioca bubbles? No problem, Fuku Tea's got it. Want something as crazy as a Plum Milk Tea with Lychee popping boba? Fuku Tea's got your back. Okay, I have to admit, the flavors could be a hit or miss. I got the Matcha Green Tea with bubbles and it was a delight. My friend got the Passionfruit and it was regrettable. But I'm biased, because with all the options to choose from, the chances that I'll get a darn good drink are far better than the chances that I'll even want to order bubble tea from a different PMT establishment. That's how good Fuku Tea is. Well, if we're only talking about Pittsburgh at least.
It may not have the best bubble tea to date, but if we're just talking regionally, this place is worth a trip. If it's one thing we know for sure, it's that Fuku Tea is booming in the 'burgh, and it's staying here for good.
