In the area and craving boba, so stopped by Ding Tea. I ended up getting the Wintermelon milk tea with golden boba, but I totally forgot to adjust my sweetness level... and it was SO Sweet (too sweet for me). I'm not a huge sweet person, and usually like my boba's at 30% sweetness or less, so I had to wait for the ice to dilute the tea a bit. The wintermelon flavor was pretty good though. Would recommend adjusting the sweetness for sure. Boba itself was average (a bit too chewy and too sweet). The inside decor is very cute though, and there's even an egg chair in there! read more

I ordered Monster Boba Mink Tea through Grubhub. In the description clearly said, it include Boba. So I didn't add it. Once we get the delivery, there is no Boba in it. What is the point to order here without Boba. Change menu name and description. I am so disappointed that I cannot complain nor ask to add. read more

Tea is flavorful and not watered down like other boba places. Staff is kind and respectful. Ding tea has the BEST atmosphere that i've seen and been to. It's clean nice details on the walls and even games for children to play with while u wait for your drinks. Overall 4.7/5. read more

Normally I am a huge fan. I actually go to Ding Tea so much that I get a free drink every 2-3 weeks sometimes. But this employee with colorful hair had to make obvious that I annoyed her. I just want happy with the boba I got. I told the employee the boba was wrong and she schooled me in front of a pretty large crowd. She mentioned I did not pay for the extra 25 cent upcharge so she was going to charge me. Fine! I can pay 25 cents, whatever, but some kid schooling went a bit too far. Then she fixed my drink, didn't charge me but definitely let me have it! You know, I couldn't think how long I have been going there, but I have been going since you opened and I can't recall how long that has been... But thanks to her I know that it's been less than a year and I was told don't know what I am talking about. Way to make a customer welcome. BTW...I always tip... Not anymore. That was when I liked the service. read more

Best tea place ever. They never disappoint. Whether I order pick up, delivery or in store. It's always delicious, made exactly to order (not half right or almost all right but 100%) and ready on time. Highly recommend this lovely new tea spot read more

No one ever remade my drink. I was in a hurry when I got my drink, and after I left the store I realized the straw didn't work. I had to open up the seal to actually eat the bobas, and that's how I discovered more than half of the cup was ice.. read more

Tea is great and consistent with Ding tea in Tustin. Shop needs to improve covid protocol. No sign stating that masks are required. Party ahead of me had 2/3 people with no masks and they still got served. I told the girl behind the counter to spray down the counter because of those non-masked people. She said ok and walked away to take another order like she didn't care. Enter at your own risk. I revised my stars to 2 because this is a health risk and we need to all stop the spread. read more

I love boba. Boba is life. It's been awhile and this was a nice treat before my movie. I typically go for the traditional black tapioca pearls and all of its chewy goodness, but I was pleasantly surprised with the small Crystal boba. It is sweet, but if you're into that it's pretty great. It would have been 5 stars, but I really wanted the big boba .. craving the chew!! read more

Really disappointing service. Placed the order online and was promised a time. Had to wait an additional 12 minutes before the drinks were ready. Even tipped them beforehand. Lol. Do yourself a favor and headache. Don't go thru the online ordering system as they preferentially process orders for those who walk in first. read more

Love the drinks here. Always consistent and always delicious! My favorite is the mango black tea with golden boba.

Boba has been my pregnancy craving and my husband and I visit this place often because a) their boba is amazing and perfect texture, almost as good as my favorite boba place TasteTea and b) it's close to home. But tonight, they forgot the one thing I come in for-- THE BOBA!!! And I ordered DOUBLE boba!!!! How do you forget to add boba at a boba place?! I called them to let them know and they said they'd "take my name down to make note for next time" LOL okayyyyy great customer service, you charge me for double the boba but do nothing more than take my name. This isn't the first time they messed our order up too, my husband ordered lychee jelly with his Thai tea and they added rainbow instead. Blech. read more

I love Ding Tea! I got the Hokkaido milk tea with 25% sugar, which was perfect for the weather today. I'm glad that there's finally a boba place in the area-- will definitely be coming here more often in the future! read more

Good drinks however you can go to Presotea for slightly less $ It's convenient if you're already eating at the food court read more

I love this new Ding Tea! During their soft opening (drinks are 20% off this weekend), I had the Wintermelon Milk Tea, which is now my new favorite. Their boba is fresh, warm, and chewy. Their staff are super friendly and they're also really good about social distancing (masks, contactless payments, pickup), which I appreciate. They have tons of outdoor seating with wifi!! This is my new favorite place to pick up boba!! read more

Like this place a lot! The workers are pleasant and skilled. One con is that the boba are always overcooked (too soft and mushy). But, having said that, it is our go-to place for Bubble Tea. We get it a few times a week! read more

We were so excited this location opened up as it's closer to us than the Mission Viejo one. Staff is very friendly. I hope everybody supports the shop through the pandemic! read more

Finally a good boba place right next to our house! We always had to drive for at least 20 mins to get boba before. Tastes just as good as other Ding Tea locations :) I was able to order less sugar for my favorite wintermelon tea at other locations, don't know why they can't do that here But they can adjust sweetness level for most of other drinks! I recommend ordering less sugar (70% or even 50%) cause regular would be too sweet for me. One great thing is that this Ding Tea is located in a nice big plaza with outdoor seating so we can enjoy boba right on the spot and not have to bring it home. Now I have to control myself not to go here everyday lol read more

So I wanted to update my review (same 5 stars) cuz apparently this place DOES have passion fruit tea, it just wasn't on their menu (Employee said that sometimes the manager /person in charge will remove an item if they run out; sometimes they forget to put the item back on their menu once they restock) So next time I go I plan on getting my regular drink That aside, I've been here a few more times since my Last review and service and quality of drinks are still very consistent. The boba is always delicious too! read more

The tea was good. But they don't allow access to the restroom, even for customers. They also seem to want no one in their store. They turned up the music to nightclub level and removed all but a couple of chairs. Their poor employees can't hear the orders even. So if you're taking to go, and order online they're ok, otherwise I'd recommend another place. read more

Great selection of Boba and teas! Great service. Thanks for the explanation and welcome to the store. Definitely will be back! read more

Great location and cute aesthetics! Can't go wrong with their Signature Milk Tea with boba :)

Tea is great, staffs are friendly:) the matcha latte is really good, I can really taste the fresh milk and matcha. With the golden boba it's awesome with the drink! read more

Taro slush was okay. I prefer the real handmade taro at sharetea. However, I got the yukult strawberry for my son and ended up loving it. The oolong year was good. I would come back for the yukult. Unfortunately they only have one size for it and it's rather large. read more

It's a "Ding Tea" in name but every one of the 3 drinks we got tasted totally different from every other Ding Tea we've ever been to. Maybe it was a bad day with new people who made the drinks wrong, but my strawberry milk tea was so bad I couldn't even finish it. I was very sad... read more

One of the worst boba tea place I've had. Gave it numerous chances and all were failures. Oh forgot to add unfriendly customer service. A bit of attitude. read more

Unfriendly customer service on multiple occasions it is such a bummer loved going there after eating ozen sushi the owner or manager used to be there a lot when they first opened he was nice but never seen him anymore they really need to talk to there staff and make some changes read more

HORRIBLE! I didn't know boba could be this bad. I used to love this place and all the milk teas were amazing. In recent weeks they have started to water down their milk teas (Probably saving costs) and now the teas are disgusting. My go-to was a Jasmine milk tea which is usually amazing but tasted like banana water. I had to throw it out. Complete waste of money. Never returning here. read more

So happy they opened in this location as I would have to drive all the way to Avery parkway in Mission Viejo for the other Ding Tea location for some decent boba. Other than that, other decent boba or tea places are all the way in Irvine. I am surprised Foothill Ranch became a location but I am definitely not complaining! I hope they do well to stay here for a long time. I got my go-to, Hokkaido black milk tea. I bit more on the milky side rather than tasting more of a caramel the first time around, but I would say it's more or less the same when I would order from other DT locations. The place is spacious and clean and it seems like the food court is definitely more lively with DT around. I will definitely become a regular here! read more

I ordered a Monster Boba Milk Tea which is always my favorite from Ding Tea. And I was so excited to drink it since Ding Tea is finally so close to me but it's definitely not Monster Boba tea that I used to have. It tasted just like a normal milk tea and the boba is over cooked this time. Super disappointed! read more

All the drinks were bland and the amount of toppings were less than what we usually get. Will not be coming back to this location. UPDATE: this is a response to the owner's comment to my review and I hope Yelp can help confirming that it was not a fake review. I'm a big fan of Ding Tea and goes to the Mission Viejo location weekly. I always order the same drinks and know exactly what they are supposed to taste like. After my third visit to Ding Tea in Foothill and being disappointed every single time, I just had to write a review to bring awareness. As a franchise you would think consistency should be the most important thing to keep up with the brand's standards, but for some reason the quality of the drinks that I ordered were far below what the other location produced. Seeing the response to my review from the owner made me realize how much more disappointed I am because it truly lacks customer service. I would have been horrified if I received such a negative review and would sincerely apologize. Instead the response was to point fingers. This says a lot about how a person runs his business. read more

Love their matcha milk tea, no sugar and cream mousse along with black boba and it makes my day! Love they always giving you options of golden or black boba. Let me tell you they are both really good, golden has the right chewiness and black boba is soft enough to my taste. My sister also tried their top fruit green tea with 1/3 sweet and aloe vera, she loves it so much that she asks for it whenever I'm on my way home. Also if you are boba lover, definitely should try their boba. I have tried boba at another Dingtea location close by but their boba was not as good as here. read more

Opens at 11, came at 11 and was told boba wouldn't be ready for 20 min. Order got ready at 11:35.

I came here a few times and it was pretty good I try the signature milk Tea and did not like it at all! I asked if I could modify it or get a different one and they really were hesitant about it and they mention next time I order it to add sweet creamer that wasn't very helpful read more

Lately the drinks here have been disgusting. Theres barely any creamer in them and the sugar levels are all off to. It tastes like water all the This is not a fake review like the owner says read more

Finally! A decent boba place nearby. Whenever I'm visiting this place, it's busy. Lines can be long so I recommend ordering ahead. Service is a hit or miss. Most of the time the employees look tired and aren't the most friendly bunch, but they are busy making drinks nonstop so I can understand. Sometimes you'll get a nice one who'll be friendly. I don't care too much since I can order online and pick up quickly. By the time I get to the place, my drink is ready at the window. Like I said earlier, the teas are decent where you can taste the different tea flavors, but they tend to be on the sweeter side. You can adjust to taste though. Boba is fresh and has a good chew. Pricing is good for what you get. Overall, I will continue to order from here if I want to quickly satisfy my boba tea cravings, but don't want to drive too far. read more

Best Milk Tea within the 10-15ish minutes of other places by far. Regularly come here around twice a week and can say you don't need to go to Irvine or farther down Mission Viejo to get a great boba drink. Do not be afraid to get the MILK TEAS if you are lactose. They have told me they use non dairy creamer/milk so that should definitely set you up for a try. However, always ask and not trust a reviewers word once. Only drink I don't recommend is the Vanilla. Straight up tasted like a formula something baby milk. Other than that it's a great place with great consistency and once corona is over, it's in the perfect place to go after the movies. read more

We typically like ding tea but this one hasn't lived up to the brand. Tried it three times hoping they would figure things out since it's a newer location, but every time the tea was made poorly (mostly too weak of a brew). Definitely not returning. read more

Such a great tea place :) I love the decor inside and the jasmine green milk tea is so good. Friendly and fast service!
