Idk what they put in that brown sugar milk tea with boba but ts made me float. Hands down best boba shop in rsm and I stand 10 toes on it

Stopped by for a walk by the lake and wanted a drink. Inside nice a clean plenty of seating. Menu is very easy to read. Service was quick. Got the phoenix oolong milk tea. I get the one from the location in Costa Mesa quite a bit...really good. One of my favorite oolong milk teas. The issue, as you can see the ice level (slight 30%) I requested, they severely over filled to about (75%). Please have a revision to your practices. Despite the above, if you want really good tea, definitely give them a try. They just need to get better at fulfilling requests if they make them available for customers. Cost does not match overall quality. This time. read more

Ding Tea RSM - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rancho Santa Margarita, California

I stopped by this fun boba spot right along RSM Lake and the location alone makes it worth a visit. It's such a nice place to grab a drink and enjoy a walk with a great view. I ordered a strawberry caffeine free drink with strawberry popping boba and it was light, refreshing, and not overly sweet. The lavender milk tea with monster boba had a smooth floral flavor and the boba was soft and chewy. I also tried the sea cream coffee with mini boba and loved the balance of bold coffee with the creamy topping Overall, a great variety of drinks with fun boba options and a relaxing lakeside vibe. Perfect for a casual treat while enjoying the scenery! read more

Love this place! The inside is so spacious, clean, and quiet. Perfect for doing work or reading a good book! The employees are very welcoming too. Daisy is the sweetest, and always serves the drink with a smile! Highly recommend! read more

Ordered two Thai iced teas and was given one Thai iced tea and one Thai milk tea... They ran out of the Thai iced tea and just substituted it with Thai milk tea like it didn't matter. When I called it out and said that it didn't taste right the one girl knowing that it was milk tea instead of Thai iced tea said "what does it taste like then." Instead of apologizing, she went and got the other girl working, who made the drink and told me it's "basically the same" and that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. That response was incredibly dismissive and honestly insulting--customers know what they ordered. To make matters worse, they said they weren't authorized to give a refund. So they knowingly gave me the wrong order, without asking if I was okay with it being substituted, and then refused to fix it. This isn't about a simple mistake--mistakes happen. It's about the lack of transparency, accountability, and basic customer service. If you're out of an ingredient, you ask the customer. You don't just decide for them and then refuse to make it right. Definitely won't be coming back. read more

Their boba drinks never miss! I usually get less sugar in my boba drinks and sometimes add the pudding topping depending on the drink. Good customer service. Clean environment and welcoming space. read more

Always love coming in here to get a beverage. The staff is very friendly and helpful, especially Audrey! The aesthetics of the store are modern and welcoming. Of course, the main thing are the drinks, which are always prepared quickly and tasted great! read more

Me and two kids entered Ding Tea RSM on Memorial Day. It's located right next to lake side in a plaza with restaurants and shops. You can jog or run around the lake. Ding Tea RSM is modern, clean, and stylish. I ordered one phoenix oolong milktea, oolong tea, assam black tea, strawberry Yakult slush, lychee Yakult slush. Kids like the strawberry slush better than lychee. Overall tea is flavorful, should order with less ice. Good vibe and environment you are around this area to shop. It's not too noisy either. read more

Not really sure what was happening today but the employee kept walking to the back of the store to do something. He worked on our drinks for a minute, stopped, and then walked to the back room again for another 5 minutes. It took almost 30 minutes to get 2 drinks. A little disappointed because they are usually super fast with their service. read more

This is my favorite boba spot in my area. The boba is always warm, sweet and they have options of different boba flavors including honey boba. My go-to's are Taro Milk Boba tea with half monster boba (traditional) with half honey boba which is 5/5 on the flavor scale. Their boba drinks come with the option of non-dairy creamer which tastes better than milk/alternative milks IMO. I will also occasionally get the Thai tea which is authentic, strong (caffeine) and sweet with the monster/honey boba combo, it's also 5/5. The staff is always nice and they are fast at making the drinks. There is seating areas so it makes a good study/hangout spot for anyone. They have a nice neon light that makes a great background for social media posts that you have to see for yourself! Thanks for staying consistent and having options for everyone! read more

The tea here is good, i usually get the Lychee green tea with popping boba. All drinks here are great! You can ether order on a large touch screen or order with an employee. The employees are kind. It usually takes probably 3-5 minutes to receive your order. The place is really clean and there are tables and chairs if you just wanna chill. Its really great that this ding tea is located near the lake so you can walk and sip! read more

I love Ding tea and I'm so glad this one is close to my work! The quality of the boba is phenomenal and the teas are delicious! I usually get the monster boba which is my favorite but I was feeling more in the mood for coffee so I got the Hokkaido coffee latte and it was amazing! The guy that helped me recommended it and I'm glad he did because it gave me the energy I needed to finish my day at work and it was also a delicious treat! Overall I will definitely be coming here all the time because the boba is great, the service is friendly and helpful, and it's in a great location! read more

Ding Tea RSM - Hokkaido Coffee Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rancho Santa Margarita, California

Ding Tea is my favorite chain that serves milk teas. This location is in a plaza on the lake and there is plenty of parking (although at peak times the popularity of the various restaurants and the Ralphs shoppers might make it more tough to find a close spot). I found myself here while running errands one weekday morning. It was a blazing hot day already and a cold drink sounded wonderful. I spotted this place but it was only 10:45am and I knew Ding locations don't open until 11....but this one opens at 10! Yay! The interior feels spacious and was glistening in cleanliness. There are several comfy indoor tables if you are in the mood to relax. The young woman who helped me was very friendly. I ordered my usual - a Hokkaido oolong milk tea with boba. I was impressed that she asked me what sweetness level I wanted (always 100% for me) which told me they place importance in customer satisfaction here. My milk tea was perfect in every way. Even the boba was freshly squishy. I returned to my car, sipping (and chewing) away and feeling happy as I drove off to continue on with my errands. read more

Even though they were closing he took his time and made my drink super respectfully and even though we came late he showed what it mean to be a stallion from San Juan hills high class of 26 read more

I've had many boba teas and coffee from ding tea and always impressed. Service is fast and friendly environment. Nice ambiance

It's was food little shop right by the RSM lake. Perfect location for a nice refreshing tea while taking a nice walk around the beautiful lake! The front staff was very nice and welcoming. They were very patient with me. I couldn't decide on what to get lol. So I finally went with the Caramel Coffee Latte. It was really good, I asked for little ice so it was perfect for our lake walk. Nice shop inside, cool decoration and neon lights. read more

Drinks are great, workers are nice, tea vibes are good. Great place in RSM would recommend

I ordered their blueberry black tea with lychee jelly, 50% sugar, no ice. Perfect amount of sweetness with a strong blueberry taste. They also had sampler at the front of the store, where I had tried green apple tea, watermelon tea, and another kind of tea. I absolutely love their fruit teas! After ordering your drink, I recommend checking out the nearby lake, Lake Lago! Gorgeous lake with some Christmas decor up right now. Currently, masks aren't not mandated to wear in the store. read more

They just opened a couple weeks ago and the place is so refreshing. I was able to meet the owner, Darren, since I arrived when they opened at 10:00 and they were all still setting up. Both he and the staff were so friendly telling me what their favorite teas were. There's also a Top 10 list of the guest favorites. I always get lychee black tea so I wanted to try something else. Both the owner and the workers said they liked the honey milk green tea with golden boba and it was also in the customer top 10 so I ordered it along with my trusted lychee tea. I was not disappointed. The honey milk green tea was the perfect blend of just enough sweetness with a lot of flavor. You could also tell the boba were really fresh since they were cushiony soft with some give. The lychee black tea was as good as always. The interior of the store is bright, clean and fresh. You feel very welcomed there and I could see wanting to hang out with friends. I'll definitely be back and hopefully be able to spend more time there. read more

It's great having a Ding Tea so close to home. The decor inside is really cute and bright, it's a great place to hang out with your friends, work or study. The employees were nice, although a little slow. I got my usual classic Thai milk tea with boba. The drink was delicious and satisfying. I can see myself coming here more often for my boba fix. read more

This place is pretty awesome. I came here after walking around the RSM Lake. I enjoyed my Strawberry Milk Tea. I wouldn't say this place is "extraordinary" or "innovative" with its flavors, but it definitely quenches the thirst. The workers here were nice and friendly. The music was very Gen Z and this place was very clean. Nothing bad to say about this place therefore I have rated it 3 stars. read more

Everyone who works here is so nice, the boba is amazing, and I always can get in and out quickly! Very conveniently located near the lake and the grocery store, so it's easy to pick up a drink for errands or walking around the lake! read more

they gave me 2 free drinks and not because I already baught 12 drinks it was my first time their and their boba truly is amazing!

Really nice but they ran out of half and half and so I order the same drink because they said it would taste similar. I couldn't even drink the Thai Tea. I went back the next day and they said they couldn't do anything to help me like make another drink. They said they couldn't help me once I leave with the drink. Left me with a bad taste in my mouth read more

It is nice to have a ding tea so close and at such a great location! I love their taro milk tea and signature milk teas of course. You can customize the ice levels and sugar sweetness levels which is great! I wish they had food offerings like some other Ding Tea locations. I'd definitely be in more often if they did! read more

Ding Tea is a favorite boba spot, glad there's a location nearby. Good drinks and clean cafe. Only thing missing is it would be nice to have a small menu of appetizers, but I know Ding Tea locations do that, but it would be a nice addition. read more

Great options , coffee, tea and slush with boba and toppings. Delicious ! The employees were really nice as well.

I've ordered delivery from Ding Tea via Postmates numerous times and they are consistently speedy and delicious! My friends and I have placed a couple complicated customized Boba tea options which we expected they might mix up a bit but much to our surprise, none of our orders have ever been wrong, forgotten or mixed up!! This is amazing from a boba shop. This is hands down our favorite boba shop in the area! I would definitely recommend ordering a large size for only $0.85 cents extra. It is well worth the price. (: If I could order boba every single day for the rest of my life, it would be from this place! (: read more

This is such a great addition to the area and was much needed! Service here was great, our coffee was made to order quickly. I highly recommend the dalgona coffee, it is just the right mix of sweet with packing just the right punch for a busy day! Very clean and beautiful location, plenty of easy parking. read more

We visited on a Sunday afternoon and for a well-known boba chain, it wasn't too crowded. Judging from the number of reviews, it's a fairly new location. Plenty of parking in the shopping center is a huge plus. This Ding Tea offers a LOT of menu items compared to other boba shops (and even other Ding Teas), and our group of 6 all ordered something different. However - and this is where the average rating comes from - everything was much too sweet. Even the drink ordered with half sweetness! And yes, I'm sure the staff is happy to re-make drinks if you're absolutely unhappy...but I think across the board their drinks are a bit too sugary for my personal liking. read more

Ding Tea RSM - Very cute and clean interior. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rancho Santa Margarita, California

I ordered their Hokkaido Oolong Milk Tea with boba and thought it was excessively sweet and you couldn't taste the tea at all. My sister ordered their Matcha which was better so I'll definitely be going with that if we visit again. Overall, friendly and quick customer service but I wish that my drink tasted better. read more

Fast service but meh tea~ My friend and I came here around 6:30 PM in a Friday evening, pretty crowded considering this location is new but line goes quick so drinks are made fairly quickly. When we went, they were out of Thai and taro tea. I got the brown sugar milk tea (50% sugar, 50% ice)-$4.00. The brown sugar milk tea was a little watery, lacking roasted brown sugar flavor, sweetness level was good. Maybe I just got the wrong drink at this location but the drinks lacked creaminess and tea flavor. read more

I ordered the winter melon green tea and it was great! Love that I could taste the tea flavor. Asked for no ice, but still got quite a lot of ice. Boba is chewy and yummy. Boba to drink ratio is perfect. I ordered a large which was an extra $0.85. Adding boba is an extra $0.85. Good amount of tables. Some people were here hanging out and others were studying. No outlets. read more
