KFT MEETS TKK Kung Fu Tea, a true New Yorker (born and raised in Queens, NY), set out on a mission to find the best international comfort food for a joint venture. During one of their trips back to Taiwan – the hometown boba – Kung Fu Tea discovered TKK, a chain that’s been frying chicken since 1974, and whose core mission to provide the best quality aligns with Kung Fu Tea’s Fresh, Fearless, & Innovative Approach to Boba. The first collaborative location opened in New York City’s Flatiron District on November 30, 2018, and we’ve been sharing our favorite tastes of Taiwan with America ever since!

We’re committed to delivering the best of both worlds by uniting our specialties and giving customers the opportunity to fall in love with this unique flavor- packed combo.

OUR MENU Our menu offers a delicious play of flavor and texture. The crispy, crunchy fried chicken pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the boba, creating a satisfying contrast between salty and sweet. Move over Burger and Milkshake - there is a new combo on the block ready to be crowned.
