| - With the recent opening of Kung Fu Tea, the plaza it is located in has become one of my favorite food places to go to in all of the Chinatown area. It is a great addition that fits perfectly well with other very popular and delicious restaurants in the same complex, such as Monta, Big Wong and Curry Zen. Being a native of Vegas and a milk tea fanatic, I have tried almost every single boba place in this city. Kung Fu is by far one of the BEST place in town. Judging by the amount of customers that I see consistently lined up at the door, I guarantee I'm not the only one that thinks highly of this place.
Let's talk about...
Location-- When you think of Asian cuisine, Spring Mt & Decatur is the heart of Chinatown and the first thing that comes into mind. Kung Fu Tea happens to be located on that corner and in a popular plaza that is always busy with customers. It is located in the far right corner of the plaza, within walking distance from many of the restaurants there. This makes it a convenient place to meet up, or grab desserts/drinks after dinner. (Note: There is a spacious parking lot for the plaza. However, during the busy hours of 7PM-10PM, the parking lot WILL fill up.)
Service-- Kung Fu Tea has very, VERY good customer service. The staff is not only friendly, but also attentive. There's always multiple people that acknowledges customers as they walk in. They occasionally pass out drink samples and take their time to explain what the drinks are. They're also very willing to answer questions regarding their menu. Every time they call out a drink order, they will always ask if you require any type of adjustments on the drinks. On different occasions, I had them readjust my drinks because I didn't like the sweetness level. Each time, the workers would happily take my drink (even when they got busy) and remake it for me until I was satisfied. Unlike other boba places, they want you to get your money's worth and understand the need to focus on your preferences.They will cater to your taste buds until you walk out happy.
Drinks & Quality-- Kung Fu Tea prepares each drink fresh and allows you to customize each of your drink order. You have full range of customizing from things such as toppings, amount of sugar, amount of ice and the amount of milk/ or tea used. Their willingness to let you decide gives this place a very competitive edge over other boba places.
Being a fan of milk tea, I have ordered many different variations of their Kung Fu Special Tea. No matter what it is you order, they seem to stay true to the meaning of "Milk TEA" by actually brewing fresh tea that is strong enough to taste even when combined with milk/ creamer and toppings. Unlike other places that I find overuse their dairy products, Kung Fu Tea actually makes your drink mostly with tea as a base. Their brews are also very aromatic and rich in flavors.
My absolute favorite thing to order is the White Gourd Green Tea. One of the male cashier previously suggested that I add creamer to the white gourd in order to turn it into a milk tea. Since then, this customized drink has been my go to beverage and possibly the best milk tea I have ever tasted. I always pair it with their herbal jelly and it comes out amazing. The jelly is made in house and has the perfect amount of sweetness that goes well with the slightly bitterness of the tea. I prefer my drinks on more of the sweet side so if you do end up ordering this drink, I suggest asking them for less sugar or more ice. To some, the white gourd tea could be a little sweet. Their boba is also very good here. It is chewy but soft, with a hint of sweetness from the honey they use.
The only negative thing I would have to say about this place is that in the beginning, I had an issue with the way they handled the drink. This might be more of my personal preference but I noticed the workers would wipe the drinks before they gave it out with a cloth rag. They would use the same rag for every drink. I know they do this so that the drinks are dry and not wet from any overflowing teas. While I appreciate their attention to details, I remember taking a sip of my drink after a worker did that and inhaling a big whiff of "wet laundry/dirty wet rag" smell from the top plastic cover. I said something to the worker and they re-poured my drink right away. The next time that I came in to order, I told the cashier I didn't want my drink wiped with the rag and saw that one of the girls used a disposable paper towel instead. From then on, I'd continue to request that.
Like I said, it's a personal preference and something to look out for if you're like me. I simply hate that smell. Other than that, this place is highly recommended and definitely a must try!
