Really bitter green tea, probably some left over tea. Almost $7. Should've asked for a different drink or a refund

Chau P.

My go to for ding tea is always one of their Yakult drink as the flavors have always been consistently good, for any of the flavor. This time, I got the peach Yakult and liked it a lot. My boyfriend got the winter melon milk tea, and there was barely any winter melon flavor, just a lot of milk. We do not recommend this drink. We ordered from the kiosk and the drink came out within five minutes. Their food is a hit of miss. I liked their popcorn chicken, but not the calamari.

I have this bookmarked for a while now and finally tried it. I was just next door having lunch and drinks ided to get my dessert drink from here. Theyhave both online and self-kiosk ordering system. It might take a while if you decided to order inside since they only have 1 kiosk available so it's better to order it online ahead of time if you know what you're going to get. Lots of seating inside for when you wanna sit awhile and enjoy your drinks. I ordered the Matcha Coffee Latte, sub oatmilk for the regular milk, and added cheese cream. The bitterness of the matcha and coffee paired perfectly with the saltiness of the cheese cream. Yum! I don't like my drinks overly sweet so the 50% sweetness hits the spot. They make your drink quick so you really don't have to wait long. I must try their snacks next time coz who doesn't like to pair their boba drinks with snacks.

Came here after eating somewhere in the same plaza. Got the Hokkaido boba tea with less ice and 75% sweetness. Nothing special but it was still a bit too sweet. The boba was chewy, which I enjoyed. It's a 3.5/5 but I rounded up because I still drank the whole thing. Gf got a classic coffee with tiramisu cream and 70% sweetness. Still a bit sweet.

Ding Tea is hands down the best boba place! I first discovered it when my family moved, and it quickly became one of my favorite spots especially since it was just down the street from my parents' house. After moving to Fresno, I went 3 years without it, so I was beyond excited to finally come back. Happy to say it's still just as amazing as I remember! The self-order kiosk makes everything quick and easy, and I love the interior decor, especially the wall art. Definitely worth the visit!

Decent boba and the price was very good. They have the usual Taiwanese snacks like popcorn chicken. Unfortunately no basil Nice photo op areas and art on the wall

I placed a pickup order online and was pleasantly surprised with how quick the drinks were made. The inside is a cool place to sit and hangout with friends. I love to go here for the occasional sweet treat! I prefer to get any of their drinks at 70% sweetness because I find the sugar to be overwhelming at times. Today we got 3 different drinks and we were all happy with our flavors. My favorite is the taro marble slush and I add black pearl boba. Ding Tea is a must try!

A very cute spot! Has a few options for photo ops. My gals ordered brown boba milk tea and all said it was delicious. I ordered the brown boba latte with tiramisu foam and golden boba at 50% sweetness. It was good but it was still super sweet and that my only complaint. I can't say anything about the service. We weren't greeted when we came in but didn't see anyone either. You ordered at the cashless register. Our order took about 10 minutes and you pick it up at the counter.

This spot is super cute and photogenic. They have lots of seating inside and plenty of parking around them. Although, the parking lot can feel a bit snug. They are tucked off into the corner of the shopping center, so take a close look when visiting. Upon arrival I wasn't greeted by staff and no one offered to help me with the menu, which is technically fine because they have a self-serve kiosk. I got the brown sugar milk tea and it was ready within three minutes. It was tasty! I got the 75% sweetness although I wish I made it 100%. The boba was a perfect texture and there wasn't an overwhelming amount of it.

Cute little rose wall !

I saw a lot of complaints about wait time, but this was not an issue for me. We came on a Saturday around 2 PM. There was one self service kiosk at the front counter, and no other order kiosks around so I could see how this might back things up, especially if customers are indecisive or not tech savvy. They are cashless btw, card and tap only. The menu is pretty extensive with a wide range of drinks, toppings, and small selection of food. TBH, probably skip the food. The popcorn chicken we got was definitely not the taiwanese type you'd hope to find at a boba shop. Not a single basil leaf in sight. And for the price, a hard pass. You get one free ketchup to dip only and all other sauces are an upcharge. No option to get any spice on it either. Moving on to the drinks though! This is where the 4 stars come in! My taro milk tea with cheese cream and egg pudding was magnificent. I'm not super into bobas and milk teas but on occasion, I just want a sweet creamy drink and this hit all the spots for me. The cheese cream is so bomb, I could eat this by the spoonful! Mixed into my taro milk tea, it was a match made in heaven! The egg pudding there is silky but bouncy and that just complimented the rest of my drink so well. I would get this again and again. I did get it at 100% sweetness and it was a tad bit sweet but not so much to where I couldn't finish it. 10/10 on this one. My BF got a lychee slush with lychee jelly (I know.. lol) Basic order, kinda hard to mess up. The lychee flavor was nice, didn't taste too artificial. Super sweet though and a little too icey. I prefer a creamier type drink but he enjoyed it and killed it in like 10 min. If I was in the area, I'd come back. We only waited about 5 min for our drinks and then another 5 min after that for our chicken. It's cute and clean inside but not bathroom!

Ding tea has good drinks, a cute flower walls for photos, and has a good environment to hang out. What's stopping anyone from going? My family went in one night because we craved boba and we had a big group of 8. By the time I ordered and scooted over for my cousins to open up the menu, my drink was already done before anyone could blink. Super quick and yes, they gave me the right drink. I ordered the oolong tea with cream at 50% sugar and I think that was good for me regarding sweetness. It was very creamy as the topping was cream. I had some grass jelly in there too, but those were a bit hard to get out. My other cousin got the oolong milk tea, which was very good. Usually when I go to Ding Tea in the past, their fruit teas were always top notch and their milk teas were so so. Tonight, both were good. I got to try my other cousin's aloe Vera kiwi drink. I really recommend this one as it was sweet with a hint of tart. It was very fruity and refreshing. The Thai milk tea also got two thumbs up from our corner cousin. Those were the only ones I got to try as there were too many of us

2nd drink - Cantaloupe Milk Tea
Emma W.

Been to Ding Tea many times, it's always a safe option when it comes to milk tea. Usually you order on the kiosk, but when I went a few weeks ago there weren't anymore kiosks so we ordered at the register. Service is fast. The place is simple and nice with a beautiful rose backdrop, great for photos. I tried the cantaloupe milk tea and I honestly couldn't taste most of the cantoupe but I could tell there were bits of cantaloupe in there. Overall it still tasted good!

Will they use my (glass) reusable boba cup?

I've been there multiple times and they accept my reuseable plastic jar. It's 24oz and looks like a mason jar. The cashier will usually ask their manager to double check but I've never been refused before.

This method of meticulous drink preparation was evident in the strong matcha flavor that was not powdery or overly bitter. There were chunks of mango in the drink which were sweet and complimented the mango well. The ambiance of this establishment felt like a nightclub with the very loud hip hop music. It was very uncomfortable to sit here and enjoy my drink with the loud music blaring. I quickly left and enjoyed my drink on my drive home.

My friend ordered the strawberry matcha while I went with the guava matcha, both easy on the sugar. At this point I feel like we're unofficial matcha critics because it's one of our favorite drinks to hunt down, and both were absolutely delicious. I especially loved that you could see the fruit in the drinks. My friend's strawberry matcha had beautiful macerated strawberries throughout, and my guava matcha was refreshing and not overly sweet. Both felt fresh and well balanced, which isn't always easy to find. The vibe inside is really lovely and makes for a great place to sit and chat. Unfortunately, the tables were a bit of a challenge. The first one we sat at was extremely uneven, so we moved to another table only to discover it had the same issue. Not a deal breaker, but definitely noticeable. I also noticed the space was pretty dusty, and it didn't seem like the air conditioning was working very well. Sacramento summers are no joke, and we were both feeling the heat. Let's just say our moisture-wicking clothes were working overtime. Even with those little hiccups, the drinks were the star of the show and I'd happily come back for another one. Helpful tip: If you're a matcha lover, try one of the fruit matchas and ask for easy sugar. The flavors really shine through that way. Overall, great drinks, a cute atmosphere, and definitely a spot I'll be returning to when the matcha craving hits.

Always a HUGE plus. cute, clean and asthetic decor inside - such warm and calm vibes there's a kiosk to order your drinks. From my experience, although I ordered from a kiosk... the workers still took the time to chat with me and my husband as we walked in, while we waited, and after they were finished with our drinks. Staff is friendly here even while they are busy perfecting our drinks drinks aren't too sweet which i love! I've tried their strawberry matcha and its one of the best I've had. Not too sweet and not too bitter! I also tried their jazzy limeade! Its a unique and refreshing tea perfect for the summer. If you get this drink.. be aware it may seem bitter to people because of its unique flavoring profiles. Get it 75% sweetness and once your ice melts a bit .. the drink is super tasty, unique and refreshing!! they also serve sweet taiyako with unique filling flavors! Idk how they do it but it always comes out super crispy. I've tried these at other dessert spots and always get really soggy or soft taiyakis so I was so shocked how crispy and fresh these were. They do make it on the spot in front of you so maybe that's why?! Or their batter is just high quality. Whatever it is.. im not complaining! This has been my new go to boba spots in Elk Grove! I highly recommend if you're looking for a place to hangout/catch up with friends, get some work done, or just need a yummy treat.

Unfortunately, this one just didn't quite hit the mark for either of us. The matcha flavor was very mild and almost tasted watered down. We both found ourselves wishing for more of that earthy matcha flavor to come through. The strawberry portion also wasn't what we were expecting. I tend to prefer drinks made with fresh or macerated strawberries, and this tasted more like a strawberry jam or puree. If that's your thing, you may enjoy it, but for me it just wasn't my jam. Literally. My friend and I also shared a chicken sandwich. It was okay, but nothing really stood out about it. I found myself wondering what type of chicken was used because the texture wasn't what I expected. It almost reminded me of either canned chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken, but I wasn't entirely sure. The café itself was pleasant enough, and there wasn't anything specifically wrong with the experience. We just both walked away feeling a little underwhelmed overall. Helpful tip: If you're a big matcha fan and prefer a stronger matcha flavor, you may want to ask if they can make it with an extra scoop. Unfortunately, neither the drinks nor the food really wowed us, and with so many great tea and matcha spots around Elk Grove, I'm not sure this would be one we'd rush back to.

The all-around favorites are the mango pomelo and the Mango Tango (make sure to get it with jasmine tea and they also have a yogurt option if you like some extra tartness)! I think when mangoes are in season they also add fresh mango to the drinks which is a huge plus. I am also a huge milk tea fanatic and personally like my tea very strong without any hint of it being watery. My favorites are the Da Hong Pao and Osmanthus Oolong for extra floral freshness, both at 80% sweetness which is the perfect level imo for even a sweet tooth like me! Their boba is always cooked to the perfect chewiness and my only complaint is that I wish their milk teas had the option of coming in a larger size!
