I like that the staff offered to edit the drinks after we received them, very cool. Ambiance could be a little better, but they did open recently. I think a few wall pieces (art) would be a nice visual. And more screens to see the menu would be a great upgrade. I think they're going for a Korean simplicity ambiance which is nice but a few additions never hurts. Would return!

Nice clean environment. Not a lot of people and with relaxing music.

They also have a kiosk in the corner for easy menu ordering! Wifi also available

The fried chicken itself was good, and the drinks were decent, but the overall experience was overshadowed by the staff's attitude. We asked one girl what she recommend to which she simply replied I don't know and the other one seemed irritated by our questions. This was our first visit, yet they didn't seem interested in helping us! Neither was particularly welcoming or friendly. To make matters worse, we overheard the employees' conversations which included lots of profanity and complaining about work, not a family friendly experience! It's disappointing because the products themselves were enjoyable, but the poor customer service made it difficult to enjoy the overall experience. 2 stars, completely unprofessional.

The size of the salmon was a little too big for my liking. I feel like it would make more sense to make the salmon pieces smaller with more on your bowl.

The shop itself is tiny with just a few seats inside, but it's cute and cozy. The service was super friendly.

They were out of the ube foam when we visited and were making a fresh batch, but we didn't want to wait, so I ordered the ube smoothie with boba at 50% sweetness instead. It was light and not overly sweet, with a really nice texture and flavor. The boba was especially good and tasted more like it was made in house rather than the packaged kind. My favorite was actually the mango matcha smoothie. It was SO delicious! Such a refreshing little treat, and I'm already looking forward to trying more of their drinks next time.

Ding Tea is hands down the best boba stop I've ever visited! The quality of their drinks is unparalleled, with perfectly balanced flavors and a wide variety of options to choose from. Their tapioca pearls are always fresh and chewy, adding the perfect texture to every sip. The staff is incredibly friendly and efficient, making each visit a pleasant experience. Whether you're a fan of classic milk tea or adventurous fruit flavors, Ding Tea has something for everyone. I can't recommend this place enough--definitely a five-star boba destination! read more

The vibes are always amazing, friendly, clean, and calm. It can be a bit loud when lots of people are there but otherwise a great place to study with free wifi. I get Thai tea and it isn't too sweet which I adore! For most tea drinks you can ask for a large range of sweetness or less, but most milk teas are pre-sweeten. The employees are always very nice and laid back. read more
