After running a few errands, I decided I was going to treat myself at my favorite boba tea spot. Since I was in the area. And since I was stopping for my milk tea, I may as well eat lunch too, right?! Kung Fu Tea/ Token Ramen in Riverview FL.

I arrived at 2ish and the dinning room was full, abuzz with happy dinners, so there was a short wait. Nice crowd for a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

The hostess brought me over an ice cold cup of citrus infused water as I browsed the menu. But I really didn’t look too long since I already knew what I’d be ordering… Hibachi Beef with noodles and extra veggies. I highly recommend springing for the cost of more veggies, they’re the best part of the hibachi meal!

Within no time I had ordered my lunch and my server brought over my clear soup. The lunch entree includes your choice of soup, miso or clear. I always opt for the clear. The soup is your topical beefy onion broth, commonly served at all the popular hibachi restaurants, with fried onions and mushrooms. It makes a delicious start to your meal!

I know what I’ll be having for lunch tomorrow, so much food for one lil’ food blogger!

I will point out when my food arrived, it contained shrimp and as you’ll learn, this foodie does not eat seafood! When I pointed it out, the server brought it back to the kitchen to correct. He brought me back my plate a few minutes later asking if I had any shellfish/ seafood allergies. I knew this meant they simply plucked the unwanted shrimp out of my entree. It didn’t bother me but I did want to mention it since I thought it was pretty honest of him to ask me. I like when a restaurant is conscience of food allergies!

And you can not come here and skip the boba tea! I’m pretty basic and usually get the milk tea with boba. It’s tastes pretty similar to how I drink my hot Earl Grey, only it’s over ice, so I’m a huge fan!

If you’re not a tea person, they have lemonades, slushes, yogurt drinks and espresso to name a few other drink varieties. When you order your tea, you will need to choose your sugar and ice level. I always go with “regular” for both. There are also other toppings beside the bubbles (boba, black tapioca beads), such as mango jelly, aloe, red bean, Oreo and popping bubbles (I’d choose these only for fruity drinks!).

Pro tip, do not forget to ask for the toppings such as boba or bubbles. It does not automatically come with the drinks! It will only run you another $.50 extra.

They also serve mochi. Vanilla, matcha, strawberry or mango; $5.99 for 3.
