| - Kung Fu Tea is the boba franchise that Hilary Clinton tried when she was campaigning for the Presidency in New York Chinatown about 4 months ago (https://munchies.vice.com/en/articles/hillary-clinton-tried-boba-for-the-first-time-and-called-it-chewy-tea). Hilary might love the "chewy tea", but I wasn't too impressed with my drink.
For those folks who have visited enough restaurants to somewhat know the general Vegas area, Kung Fu Tea is located in the same plaza as Raku and Monta Ramen. Parking can get a bit tough during the busy hours. Street parking is also an option, but the area feels a bit shady.
Free Wi-Fi is available and you get a free topping (e.g. boba) with the Yelp check in deal. All teas are brewed every 3 hours and boba is cooked every 2 hours. Most drinks you find here are drinks you can also find in the SGV (San Gabriel Valley - where hundreds of boba shops are located in the area) - milk teas, yogurts, espressos, slushes, fruity drinks, milk cap, etc. You can always ask the staff and adjust the sweetness level.

White Gourd Tea (medium $2.75 + boba): It was basically a winter melon tea with milk. The drink was really sweet (regular sweetness), so I asked the staff to adjust the sweetness level to 50%. Funny ... it still tasted somewhat sweet after the adjustment. You'll need to shake the drink well before you actually drink it. Boba was medicore.

3-star (A-OK) using the strict SGV boba standards. I probably ordered the wrong drink and I'll still give some benefit of the doubt. If you want some SGV quality drinks in Vegas, Brew Tea Bar (pretty far away from the Strip, but worth a side visit) is the place to go. If you want a quick boba fix and don't want to drive to far, then I guess feel free to give Kung Fu Tea a try (much closer from the Strip).
