I love going here nearly at least every month because they never fail my mood except waiting. The call in should be improved because calling in is such a fast process to get ur drink but you'll still have to wait in line to pay. Strawberry yogurt with lite golden boba is my go to! read more

I came here in the afternoon on a Sunday so it wasn't that crowded but most of the time this place has a long line out the door. However, it's just alright. I think the special thing about it is that it has yakult/yogurt drinks but that's about it. When I came I didn't specify which size I wanted so they gave me the large and I didn't realize until I was about to get my order. That was a bit frustrating. I have to give them points for their cute decor but at the same time this place is quite small. Their drinks are the average, decor is cute, but service isn't that great. read more

Ding Tea Bolsa - Very different cup style - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Westminster, California

I'm surprise that this place overall rates only 3.5 stars. My first visit was today and I ordered the house milk tea with "crunchy boba". I guess it's a new thing now with this crunchy boba. My husband calls it crunchy rubber. It's actually interesting. I wasn't much of a fan at first, but now I'm starting to grow on it. One great thing about these crunchy Bobas is that they do not harden even after refrigeration. So this is a good alternative to the chewy texture of tapioca bobas. Ok. As for my drink I really enjoyed it. I finished it so quick it surprises me. The flavoring is on point, not overly sweet nor is it bland. I did not change the sweetness level and to me it was good enough. I don't eat sweets a lot and this was just right. I really enjoyed the tea fragrance in their house milk tea. It was a very pleasant aftertaste from every sip. The place is not too small nor roomy but it's decent. There are 2 tables with a booth for you to wait for your order. One thing that they don't have and that I'm used to at other boba places is food. They only serve drinks. Was in the mood for snacks but a little sad they didn't have any. So heads up if you're a little hungry or want some munchies, have a backup place for that. Overall: good refreshing milk tea. Give it a try! read more

Too long of a wait although there were 8 customers at the boba shop and 5 workers . The boy who made the drinks inserted his fingers inside the cups to grab two cups at time. They were busy making drinks for the lady who ordered about 20 drinks. I also watched them making my drink. I was lucky that he didn't make my drink that way. Found dirt q- tip by where I stood waiting for my drink. I ordered brown sugar milk tea with crystal bobs. It taste pretty good but I don't trust their sanitary. read more

I was excited to try this place as they had pretty decent reviews on yelp. What a bummer. The tea was mediocre and lacking in flavor and the boba was nothing like I've ever tasted. I wish i would have done without the boba. The story was awfully tiny and the parking situation was bad. Maybe we got the wrong thing but i dont know that I'd be willing to take a second chance due to the boba. read more

I stopped by this place about 3 weeks to get my drink. I saw one of their staffs didn't wear mask while making my drinks. It was too late to cancel my drinks at that time. I expected this store had a better Covid-19 safety measures. Don't think i'll come back to this store soon. #Covid-19 read more

One kind of funniest thing is I ordered a Wintermelon Green Tea and they forgot to give me some Wintermelon syrup. So it taste very fresh tea with a little bit bitter. But still get 3 stars cuz tea is fresh :))) read more

I am extremely addicted to this place Butttt the waits are getting out of control. I suggest coming before dinner on the weekday lol read more

My friend told me to get the drinks here after she made an order thru the phone. So it's supposed to be ready when I get there right? But no! There's like 1 or 2 other customers, it's not that even busy. They made me wait like 20 mins while they're chatting and laughing to each other. Then you know what? They pulled out from the fridge those drinks that I've been waiting for. THE DRINKS HAVE BEEN IN THE FREAKING FRIDGE FOR THE WHOLE TIME! I told my friends this is the reason I've been avoiding this place! read more

I honestly like this Ding Tea more than any of the other locations that have opened up. Maybe I'm being biased since this was the OG location, but this place does the Wintermelon Milk Tea the best. read more

This review is mostly for the boba drinks than it is for the wait. Although I do have to be honest, the wait here for your drink is quite ridiculous which is probably why the star rating for DingTea is hovering around 3 1/2. Does it really take that long to make a drink? Can't they think of something to speed up production to combat high drink order demand? Anyways, this is the only place that I actually go to to buy a boba drink and no where else. When their boba is cooked and served right it's really good! No other boba place that I've been to has the same texture or taste. DingTeas boba is unique and it's golden! I'm not a big fan of their crystal boba, it's a strange crispy texture. Even though I like eating crispy things, in boba form it's odd. The other downside about this place is that when it gets crowded there is very limited seating. And sometimes due to lack of seating, sitting outside near the patio area can be quite sketchy, especially at night on weekdays. read more

I usually order brown sugar milk tea less sweet with pudding and it's pretty great. The last time I came here they ran out of black tea so I ordered the Hokkaido Oolong Milk Tea which is supposed to be like toffee. It kinda tasted like Kopiko coffee candy. The first time I came here it was pretty crowded. There were probably about 7 people before me but I got my drink within 10 minutes. Every single time I've come here after that they were slow at making my drink. At one point there was only one customer before me and it still took 10 minutes for me to get my drink. Overall, I wouldn't come back anymore because the service here is pretty bad. I'd rather just go to the new Ding Tea location in Garden Grove. read more

Good tasting drinks if you actually enjoy drinks that have a strong TEA flavor. The downside to ding tea is their horribly slow service that I think could be worked on and improve on. If you're in the area, try this place out and let me know what you think. read more

Came on a Sunday night. Wasn't crowded at all but drinks took a while to be made ... saw 3 people working and there was 2 small parties (2-3 people each) ahead of me. Took almost 25 minutes for our drinks to come out. I've been to Ding Tea at various locations and their drinks are always good. I generally always get their wintermelon milk tea or brown sugar milk tea. Not a fan of their boba or egg pudding though! read more

I love macha green tea and I love the golden boba But you guys always have trouble with the credit machine, but I still love Ding Tea read more

Pretty standard milk tea place, although it is relatively cheaper than others. I tried the Jasmine green milk tea half sweet and it was alright- nothing to rave about, but it ain't bad either. The ratio seems to be heavier on the milk side than tea... and they do put quite a bit of ice in. Minimum $5 for cards. Parking is plenty. read more

Tried their signature milk tea and jasmine green tea with golden boba a few times. I usually prefer no sugar added but without sugar and/or milk their tea is just too bitter. However, when adding sugar, whether it's 1/2 or 1/4, it's still too sweet... Boba is kind of mushy in the outside and not gummy as I prefer. Overall... I've tried better at others Taiwanese boba tea places before. read more

My coworker just brought me a large lychee green tea with rainbow jelly. with half sugar. It was bomb. Though I choked on a piece of rainbow jelly and had to give myself the heimlich. It was so good I couldn't help drinking it so fast. read more

One of my favorite local tea houses. I always get the usual here: signature milk tea + boba. Their tea is stronger in taste if you'd prefer the stronger tea. You could request of the level of sweetness such as with Less is 70% or Half is 50% or Slightly is 30%. Their milk and tea ratio is on point so it has that creamy taste along with the strong kick of tea. Not to mention that they have good customer service as well. Totally deserve 4 stars! Loving it every time! read more

Jasmine milk tea with boba. It was very average. The boba was a little below average. With so many milk tea places nearby, this one falls short. read more

Bruuuh. Ordered my drink and while waiting for it, I looked up and saw one of the workers with his index finger so far up his nose you could probably see it through his eyes. This guy was really digging for that gold literally in front of all the customers. After he was done, he proceeded to scoop up some ice and made a drink, thank goodness it wasn't mine. But then after finishing the drink, he went back at it again with his pinky this time lol. What the .... I mean the drinks were good but really bro... lol literally no comment. read more

They definitely take a while to make their drinks, but it's all worth it!!!! I always call beforehand to order, so when I arrive, it's already ready to pick up. Their Signature Milk Tea and Jasmine Green Milk Tea are MY FAVE!!!!!!!!!! read more

Ding tea is usually what I go for when I'm a bit lazy because it's close to my house. It's not the best but it's consistent. I would have given another star but They've messed up my orders a couple of times by putting the wrong toppings into my drink or even making the wrong drink for me. But they were still good so I don't mind that much. They also have a rewards system so that's not bad either! Overall ding tea is a 4/5 to me. read more

I like Ding tea but the employees at Bolsa location service customer not good. They usually made wrong order.

The milk teas here are better than other places in the area. The time it takes to receive your drink after ordering is a bit long. I once waited up to 25 minutes. This location is also pretty small with limited seating. If there aren't any crowds here, this is a great place to be read more

This place is the best! I used to go to this chain when I was living in Shanghai China. Super nice servers too. Last time I wanted 20% sugar and one of the servers gave me a sample of the matcha to see if it was okay before giving it to me. Highly recommend their matcha milk tea :) read more

3 stars for the drink only since the service here sucks !!! 20-30 mins for one drink. Omg !!!!!! Yeah the drink is good and the boba is soft and chewy. The jasmine milk tea and signature is good, but it's definitely not worth the wait. read more

This location has been going downhill.. The team members working the cashier constantly mess up even when I repeat my order. There has been many instances when I would go home and the drinks would have no boba or no upgraded size.. Trust me, you're better off going to the Garden Grove location! Only reason why it's not one star is because of the kindness from the team members who remade my drinks when I pointed out that it was wrong! read more

My winter melon milk tea tastes like water. Don't order that here, there's no flavor AT ALL :((

Tried the black milk tea with regular boba with 50% sweetness. Tastes exactly like tapioca express, Lollicup and tebotebo. I don't really see what all the hypes about. I recommend the black milk tea at 99 Ranch Market for real tho. Oh and customer service, not the best. The guy at the cashier was rushing the heck out of me and pressured me to order an additional drink just to charge my credit card or else I would have to cancel my order altogether. Because the minimum is $5. He could have been nicer about it and more apologetic. Instead he was blunt and rude. Well at least now I know not to drive out here just for this next time. read more

Ding Tea Bolsa - Small black milk tea 50% sweetness w regular boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Westminster, California

Cute little boba shop. Service was a little slow. Oolong milk tea was good but a bit light, almost tastes like regular milk tea. Boba was sweet, soft, and chewy. My brother and mom said they enjoyed their regular milk tea and matcha milk tea. read more

I usually get their signature milk tea or jasmine milk tea, 30% sweet. I tried their Hokkaido milk tea before and I prefer their signature milk tea more. I tried their sea cream jasmine before and it was good too. I get that 50% sweet. read more

Noticed that 2 star review said that a lot of other reviewers were first timers. Well, I just wanted to say that I don't review as often as I should. Most of the time I only do it when the service is exceptionally good or bad. Usually I just use yelp to bookmark locations lmao. I also work at a tea store in Irvine so I have first hand experience with taste, speed and customer service. Tbh this place was pretty good since it literally just opened for a day or two. We used their bogo grand opening deal for hokkaido milk tea and honey green tea. The menu is pretty standard for a tea place, however it didn't look like they have any food or snacks or anything. But maybe the menu will expand later on. The cashier was really nice and she pointed out that it had a slight coffee taste (which we didn't mind). This place is nice because it lets you adjust the sweetness and how much ice you want. The honey green tea was nice, it's very slightly sweetened which is the regular sweetness level (aka how they make it originally with no adjustment). I actually liked it because you could still taste the green tea, but if you wanted a sweeter drink you probably shouldn't opt for this one. The hokkaido milk tea was really good! Though they couldn't adjust the sweetness level for this one. It's a little too sweet for my liking, but when the ice melted a bit, it was perfect. We went around 11am on a Sunday morning. I guess I'm just used to speed since I work at a tea store which is busy from when it opens till when it closes. They took a bit of time getting our drink ready. It wasn't crazy slow or anything!! But it's too be expected especially since they just opened so just keep that in mind. Overall I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. I'm sure it can only get better from here. They also give stamp cards too! So that's a plus! I'll definitely be coming back in the future. read more

If I could, I would give them 0.5 stars just because of service. I don't yelp often at all but I had to write a review partially based on drinks and mainly focusing on their service. I got a Hokkaido milk tea and I've only had Hokkaido milk tea from boiling point and jazzcat but the Hokkaido milk tea here tastes very similar to coffee candy. ONTO THE SERVICE! So, it's unfortunate that I have to write this but I came in on November 21st, 2015 at ~9:40PM. Two female employees worked here and they apparently thought my friends and I didn't understand Vietnamese so what I was able to listen in on and translated from Vietnamese to English was: "these group of "people" go around and just make trouble. They probably don't have parents". This was my first time here and I absolutely won't come back simply because of service. What they decided to gossip about my friends and I were completely opposite of how we are and we ALL have very close knit loving families and parents. All in all, disrespectful customer service. I don't write reviews often but I definitely believe these two employees sunk this tea shop in the drain, honestly. read more

I've been on a boba hunt cause I've had a weird craving for boba lately. So, I hit up Bolsa and found the shop (surrounded by 2 nearby boba places). THE SHOP: Considering it was a Tuesday night, it was actually not too crowded but not dead empty. There were 5 workers and about 2 groups of 3 sitting and lounging. From my wait, I saw a customer come out with a bag of 4 boba cups and a customer came in when I left. The environment isn't a place I would consider as a study area because it had pretty loud music and not enough seating for independent study. If one group were to come in, the store would feel pretty crowded, so it's definitely a pay, get, and go shop. THE BOBA: I asked the guy what their best drinks were since I was a newbie here. He recommended the first 2 on their menu: the signature milk tea and the jasmine green milk tea. The standard price was $3.05 for a regular sized cup and it was 0.50 added if you wanted a large. I also was recommended 'golden boba' with it, which was another 0.50 each. Pretty decent price from where I've been drinking. It was a 5 minute wait for my two drinks, and it was a standard boba drink. It wasn't mind blowing, but it was good. My cup had way too much boba and too little tea. I should've asked for less ice, since I usually like having an even boba to tea ratio. OVERALL: We downed the drink in about 15 minutes, and my mom could sense the honey in the boba. I honestly don't know if golden boba= honey, but it was good! Ding Tea will definitely be on my radar and I would come back! read more

I ordered the Taro Milk Tea. Taro is my favorite and every where I go it's what I order so I know my Taro milk tea. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! It's really good. It's actually the perfect sweetness for me. By that I mean it's sweet when I first sip it but then it smooths out and it's the perfect aftertaste. And it's mixed very well. I bought the small and kinda wished I ordered the large now. I was waiting for a friend to order and by the time she got her drink I was almost done. Now moving on to the Boba. I LOVE IT. I'm really particular about boba because let's face it it's my favorite part of milk tea. It makes or break it for me. The Boba is smaller so you don't get sick of it and it's well made. Some other places cook it weird so they clump together or is still uncooked on the inside. People who drink a lot know what I'm talking about. But ya. It's kinda addicting. I love it. The place is cozy but nicely decorated. I don't really sit for my milk tea anyways. Kinda like getting coffee. I get it to go so I don't mind that it's smaller. And I guess everyone is saying it already but the staff are really nice and welcoming. They say hi even when they were helping someone else and bye when you leave. All in all that's why I wrote a yelp review. I usually don't unless I really like a place. And this is definitely one of them. I'm not in OC too much but when I am I will definitely go back to this place and recommend it to all my peeps. read more

Ding Tea Bolsa - Small Taro Milk Tea with boba. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Westminster, California

This Taiwanese boba shop is very small and it's in the same plaza as Eiswelt. They offer 5-star points, just enter your phone number or scan your card and the points are added to your account. I only tried the teas. Lychee green tea with coconut and lychee jello and peach black tea with grass jelly. Both were really good! Not too sweet and had a very nice tea taste. The Peach black tea with grass jelly was my favorite of the 2. The grass jelly was really refreshing and the peach tea wasn't too sweet. I'll definitely try their golden boba next time, though normally I'm not much of a boba fan. I wanna try their Hokkaido milk tea! I wanna try one not made my Boiling point lol read more

Seriously love this place. Jasmine green tea with golden boba 50% sweet is legit good. Came back at night and tried the signature milk tea with egg pudding and it was ok. The coffee milk tea was like a hk style milk tea and really good. Place is clean with lots of seats. Will def be back! read more

The boba milk tea is creamy with soft but not overly soft or overly hard boba. It's packed! The parking sucks but it's usual for our Asian squares. The workers were friendly which is good. I would definitely be coming here again if I'm in the area!!! I had the Hokkaido Black Milk Tea boba. Marissa had the Brown sugar milk tea boba. Both were yummy!! read more
