I was craving some desserts after pizza, so decided to give this place a try. They had a Vietnamese dessert that was sticky rice and pomelo pieces and I decided to give it a try - it was very good! Not too sweet and also at a great portion . They had a few other interesting options there that seem to be worth trying . Recommend ! read more

I frequent this place to grab boba for coworkers and the staff is always so nice, the restaurant is always clean, and the drinks are always perfect. They don't take a long time even when they're slammed and they're always smiling. read more

I came in today and the girl working the register did not answer any of my questions. She just gave me a blank stare. They were advertising black boba yet they don't have any? Milk tea did not taste authentic I have definitely had way better boba at other places with better service. The place was cute though. read more

This is a wonderful boba shop. I loved the vibe of the place. The boba is amazing, and I was only in there for 15 minutes tops. It was great experience. Would definitely recommend going! -Katelyn Taylor read more

Ask for less ice.. trust me Super cute boba shop! During covid they did have one seating area open they have super cute wall to take pictures on with a bench in front of it so your friends can sit together for the pic:) I tried their signature milk tea Got it 70% sweet and I regret not asking for less ice Not sure if you can tell from my photo but they use big ice cubes and it was A LOT of ice! My friend asked for less ice and it was the "normal" amount Less sweet option was also a good idea not sure how sweet 100% is but 70% was still really delicious other than that the tea was super good and the boba was perfectly cooked! the worker were all nice and drinks were made pretty quickly I would def come back read more

I found this location while looking for nearby boba places, and it had the highest rating of all the ones nearby, so I decided to go. The tea itself isn't the best I've ever had; I've had better tea elsewhere, but the boba was really nice. Because I've been to places where the tea is excellent but the boba is subpar. Another thing I noticed was that they add an excessive quantity of ice in your drink, therefore I strongly advise anyone to ask for light ice, because if you don't, your ice would probably fill up around 1/3 of your cup. Nevertheless, it wasn't the best boba tea, but it wasn't the worst, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quick drink. Anyhow it was the interior that I really liked about this establishment; it had such a fantastic aesthetic, with spaces to shoot photos and activities to play with other people. So, if you're looking for a place to hang out and take some cool shots with boba, this is the place to go. The you're my cup of tea sign was one of my favorites; it's cheesy, but that's what makes it appealing. Another cool feature was their drawing board; there were some amusing meme drawings on there, which I think just helps to lighten the atmosphere and allow people to have a better time considering that we were in the midst of a pandemic that prevented people from engaging in social activities. Overall, the personnel looked attentive, and the boba was rather nice, therefore I believe it is worthy of a four-star rating. read more

Man the service by these 3 men... Phenomenal. Their service towards me was nothing short of kind and treated me like I was family. These 3 workers really know how to treat their customers well. I was shocked by how well they treated me and how kind and patient that were with me. If you guys come here be on the lookout for one of these 3! They'll treat you with kindness, respect, and like family! The drinks too, were excellent by these 3! It was so delicious and I even ordered a 2nd one! And they kept the place clean and tidy too! I'm glad I came while they were around! read more

Ding Tea Arlington - The workers - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arlington, Texas

My new favorite boba place!! After seeing so many reviews quickly being posted just during their soft opening, I was a bit skeptical so decided to wait couple weeks for the hype to die down. That was a mistake lol. I should have gone during soft opening for their BOGO50% off. So far I have tried the signature milk tea, Hokkaido oolong milk tea, hazelnuts milk tea, and the kumquat lemonade ice tea. Can't complain about any of them. All have really good flavor. I pretty much only go for milk tea or blended drinks at any boba place, but took a sip from my other half's kumquat lemonade and was so surprised at how good the flavor was. It tasted just like fresh kumquat. You can request the ice level on all of their drinks, and sweetness level on most. For those with "FS" next to it on the menu, which means "Fixed sugar", they don't add any additional sugar. It's already sweet as is. I was a bit disappointed to know that, but gave it a try anyway and glad that they're not overly sweet. Just a bit sweeter than I'd prefer but still good. They also offer many toppings. Some are very unique and hard to find anywhere else. Besides 1102, Ding Tea is the only other place I know that offer the crystal boba which made out of agar. They don't become harder or change texture if refrigerated or sit in the cup too long. Definitely my prefer topping now over regular boba. The place is super cute even tho it's small and can get very packed. It's also closer to home so I'll definitely come more often. read more

As promised, I'm updating my review bc Ding Tea did the most novel thing: They listened to their customers and made the suggested changes! 1. There is now a point system in place, if you'd like to enroll with your phone number. Each dollar spent is 1 point, and after 50 points (about 10 drinks), you get a free tea! 2. The signs have been updated to showcase their popular drinks (Kumquat Lemon Iced Tea, Taro Milk Tea, Thai Tea, Signature Milk Tea, and a few others). 3. I still asked for less ice, just in case, but I glanced around at the cups of others, and they looked filled with a reasonable amount of ice. What really boosts this review to 5 stars was the effort the owner made to reach out to me both online and in person. She seems like an earnest businesswoman who is compassionate towards her young workers but also receptive to customer suggestions. Ding, Ding, Ding! We have a Bubble Tea winner in town! read more

Disgusting drinks so water down no taste definitely waste of money Do not recommend ‍ read more

Def my favorite boba chain (that has locations in Texas!). I tried my usual drink, oolong milk tea with golden boba and was persuaded to do 75% sweetness rather than 25% which I normally ask for, and it was indeed perfect! Though the ice level seemed a bit excessive even after requesting for less ice. I also tried bf's monster boba, which has neither tea or coffee. Highly rec if you like sweet caramel candy as this is exactly what it tasted like! A tad too sweet for my liking but enjoyed the few sips I sampled. Definitely hope to return to try the other signature drinks! This entire place is like an insta photo op! Tables are small, board games are also available. Nice place to hang out with friends rather than studying. read more

Ding Tea Arlington - Monster latte (w no tea or coffee!) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Cute place, loved the wall decor. The staff was friendly and I had a Hokkaido Milk Tea with Golden Pearls. Golden Pearls are the same boba you get anywhere else, the drink was good. They also serve Che Buoi there, it's pretty good. Reminds me of my childhood and the serving size was perfect. I took a star away only because the furniture was dirty... the couches and cushions. Maybe get a couch cover and rotate cushions on the benches? Just a thought. I'll come back, definitely recommend coming back.. but probably for a to go order. The place was getting busy, always a good sign. read more

Interesting location in Arlington. Kinda out of the way for me compared to the many other boba places around. However, you should come check it out because the store decor is super cute! I had the popular Monster Bobo Latte. If you like caramel, you'll love this. It is super sweet and rich. This was a calorie splurge for sure. I didn't like the honey boba as much as I expected to. I would be down to try other drinks but I don't see myself going out of my way to make the drive. read more

Ding Tea Arlington - Monster Bobo Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I would like to start off this review by stating that I really did like my drink from Ding Tea. Unfortunately, there was a DEAD BUG IN MY DRINK!! It was so gross and honestly just very disappointing. I cant believe I found a dead bug in my drink it was so disgusting. I know the bug had to be from the process of an employee making the milk tea since the bug was dead. I will be adding pictures of the bug in the drink.. I did give it a 2 star review since it is a nice place inside and the staff was overall kind. read more

Love that you can customize the level of ice and sweetness to the drinks! This place is definitely a family favorite in our household and there's yet to be a drink we've tried that we don't like. I'll echo some other Yelpers to say that their monster boba latte is absolutely what people come for -- definitely similar to Tiger Sugar's boba tea (aka brown/black sugar boba). I would strongly recommend ordering the drink at 50% sweet since it is on the sugary side! Why am I knocking off a star? I thought i'd beat the weekend rush by ordering ahead, except those who ordered in, were being serviced a lot quicker than me. I waited about 45 minutes and given that i was in a good mood + had nothing to do, i wasn't really going to knock it. read more

I have been here a few times and each times service were horrible. I visited several times before adding this review but since service was bad each time, I had to share my experience. First visit, they were out of boba and they didn't get my order right, basically got 90% ice and got a sip of my tea. Next visit, I specifically asked for light ice and the girl making my drink didn't even look at my order. She was transferring it to a cup to seal and the cashier told her I wanted light ice. The girl just shrugged her shoulders and with a smirk told the cashier just give me the drink. Mind you, I was the only customer at the time. I won't be coming back for sure. I've been to the location on Cooper and they are top notch compared to this one. Go elsewhere than here. read more

The boba is good and consistent, and although the base sugar level is a bit much you can adjust the sugar level which is nice. The service is super fast as well. The workers make the drink as you are ordering and I've always gotten my order within 5 minutes of paying. read more

The kumquat lemon tea was great! I got zero sweetness but it was still super flavorful. They even have some games inside u can play.

I would say it's not as cool as it looks in the pictures but it's a nice place. They didn't have the boba tea I really wanted, which is the slushie chocolate one they sell at Asian market in Grand Prairie. I ended up getting a a chocolate milk tea with boba and it was very good. The service was good and the kids enjoyed it so I'd go again. read more

Clean store with very cute decor. Friendly service were your immediately greeted with a smile. They answer all your questions and give recommendations accordingly. Me, I don't like overly sweet, so certain teas they would recommend and then others they would recommend I adjust the sweetness. And after I tasted it made sure I liked it. The seasonal Guava was my favorite but Top fruit tea was a close second. The Thai Tea is also good and 1/2 sweet is still plenty sweet. And the boba has a great consistency. read more

tried the brown sugar coffee and brown sugar milk tea.

We tend to order more than 10 cups at once, but they always pack it quickly, accurately, and with labels so each are recognizable to distribute when we bring it home. Everyone was friendly and the sweetness is pretty high so if you're older and prefer light sugar, 30% is the way to go! read more

Omg. I came here for the first time and ordered ginger milk tea... DELICIOUS!!!!!!! I love how the tea was not scorching hot to the point where I had to wait a while to drink it. The environment is cute and my order was ready in no time. I'd like to try more items from this business. read more

Our first visit here and I would come back to try the Strawberry Black Tea. As you can see in the picture that I did order it BUT since I had to hold so many drinks !!! I left it on the top of my car and didn't realize so I drove off and I just watched it fall. Luckily, I got another drink, the Oolong milk tea with crystal boba and it was quite tasty. You could actually taste the flavor of tea and the crystal boba was really crunchy - if that makes sense. Everyone really liked their drinks! The environment was extremely cute. Very instagram worthy!! read more

A good and cozy place to go with your friends! Limited seating but cute place to take photos (and definitely saw a couple and their friend take 1000x photos). Their decor is very "SoCal." Haha! I've only tried their Thai tea latte. Didn't really taste like Thai tea but not really complaining because I didn't hate it. The wait isn't too bad. Like any place if it gets overly crowded it does take awhile. There's free WiFi and easy parking. read more

My friends rave about this place and how I should try, so I went to check it out when I was in the Arlington area. When I walked it, the decor was really cute. I saw the menu and there were tons of options. I looked at the advertisement for the brown sugar milk tea. I went ahead and ordered the brown sugar milk tea since it looked so good with herbal jelly. The service was very fast and nice. Unfortunately, when I tried the brown sugar milk tea, there wasn't much flavor and I believe it was more watery. I wasn't as impressed, but maybe I got a didn't get a good choice. I'll would like to come back and try again once I'm in the area. read more

Updating my previous review - they did a really great job on stepping of the speed of service. After being here several times, Ding Tea hands down my favorite spot for boba. The quality of the tea and freshness of the fruit with the kumquat tea keeps me coming back. Hope they will not sacrifice their quality and service. Very looking forward to be back!!! read more

Ding Tea offers pretty authentic traditional Taiwanese boba, which being Taiwanese, I absolutely love. From milk teas to fruit teas and yakult teas to smoothies, they have a wide variety of drinks and toppings to choose from! The decor inside is also so, so cute- lots of places to take pictures! I went with my go-to drink which is Oolong Milk Tea with little ice and 30% sugar. I'm usually not a person that likes toppings in my drinks, but they had Golden Boba and the cashier said it was their most popular, so I decided to try it out. I went on a Saturday afternoon and it was decently crowded. I was surprised at how fast the drink came out! As soon as I sat down, they called my number! I also really enjoyed the drink- the tea taste was strong and the sugar level was perfect! I also surprisingly really loved the Golden Boba- it's softer than regular boba and I think it has a better flavor to it too. Arlington's a long way out from me, so I hope that they open one near me, but I definitely recommend this place for some authentic Taiwanese boba! read more

With all these boba tea places popping up everywhere recently, it's definitely a little difficult to make yourself stand out from the rest, but Ding Tea Arlington has definitely managed to do that! Their Taro Milk Tea and Matcha Milk Tea were both delicious! Very creamy, smooth, and tea-y...just yum! I'm not a caramel person so I didn't care for their Monster Boba Latte too much, but I will definitely be back to try other flavors. Cute place! It's small but very nicely decorated. Instagram worthy no matter where you snap. read more

I was super excited for this place! I heard about it in California so I had to try it! Can I say that this place is super CUTE! IG worthy backgrounds and fun games to play while you sit and sip. Parking is super easy, they are established right by Bowie high school, my alma mater. And right by one of the best pizza places is arlington, Brooklyn's best. I believe this place will revive the area since Albertsons left and blockbuster made it a ghost complex. My first impression was great, because they were busy, and I got my order taken so fast, and I got my drink fast!! I got the matcha milk tea with boba, I wish it was a little more flavorful, but it was still good. And my friends got the winter melon which they said is a must try!! I can't wait to go back. If the owner is reading this, I appreciate them coming to the Agg! Because lord knows we needed a good boba place nearby! And now we have one! Oh ..and price, very reasonable!! read more
