    Signature Milk Tea and Chocolate Milk Tea
    Archie S.

    Just your regular neighbor hood Ding Tea. It seems like they are every where these days but they have consistently drinks and know what to expect these days. I had ordered the Chocolate Milk Tea and the Signature Milk Tea with boba. They were both good, except the boba felt old as they were extra chewy and a little harder than what I've usually had. As good as the chocolate milk tea was I'm more of a black milk tea person which is what the signature milk tea is. There's seating both inside and outside and this is located at the Source (First Floor) in Buena Park. Just park in the structure and you are good to go.

    Great selection of caffeinated and non caffeinated drinks! The butterfly lychee drink was so cute and fun to mix! The drink itself was very refreshing and perfect for a hot day out. The employee was also very kind and knowledgeable about the menu. We received our drinks in a very timely manner too. Fantastic service!

    This Ding Tea is located at The Source on the first floor. I wasn't aware that there was a parking garage since we're not from this area, but we ended up parking right across the street near a kbbq restaurant (the walk wasn't too far). I always get my matcha milk tea. What I like about Ding Tea is their golden boba and that most locations I've been to make their drinks consistently the same.

    One of the best things at the Source! I'm quite familiar with the franchise and this location makes their drinks very similar to the others. The menu and sizing are pretty much the same. The only thing that might differ amongst locations is the price, but that's pretty common. * Honey Green Milk Tea: 10/10 - tasty and they adjusted the sweetness level perfectly * Golden Boba (Topping): 9/10 - soft and chewy The interior is very beautiful and they have a couple of tables to sit at. They're located on the ground floor so it should be easy to locate. The workers were pretty nice and made our drink quickly. Without this boba shop, I probably wouldn't come to the Source as much, to be honest. Highly recommend!

    Of course grabbing boba after dinner is mandatory. This was the only spot open late until 10:30pm. Parking: There's a free parking structure. Finding a spot can be a hit or miss. There are compact parking spots, so be careful. Ambiance/Parking: They have a small space with limited indoor seating. No outdoor seating. It's pretty clean inside with a cute floral decor on the wall. Service: The workers were quick & efficient. The cashier that assisted us was knowledgeable about the menu and gave us good recommendations. Throughput was under 3 min after ordering. Drinks: We've been to many Ding Teas, so we've tried majority of their drinks. I wanted something refreshing, so I got the Lychee Milk Tea w/ crystal boba. This tasted exactly how it sounds. The lychee definitely came through. The crystal was firm & chewy. My bf got the Thai Latte w/ almond milk. It wasn't his favorite; he's gotten better Thai drinks. He thought it was okay - the Thai flavor was lacking. Pricing: Decent prices $$ for boba drinks. I haven't been to a Ding Tea in a while. I was really surprised that they now offer way more drinks. Will come back to try their new offerings.

    not a bad place to pop in. very small, so i wouldn't recommend fighting for a seat when you can get so much more out of walking around!

    This boba place is located within the OC Source. Definitely a great place to take some pictures with your boba drinks and friends because they have a cute interior. There was plenty of parking since it has a parking structure with free parking next to it. The shop is small so if you have a big group, it is better to get your drinks and head outside. It is a little pricey for the boba drinks because of the sizes, but they do have a good variety of different drinks. I got a wintermelon milk tea with their golden honey boba, and it was a tasty basic drink. Service was friendly and very quick in having our orders out since there was a lot of people waiting. It isn't a bad place to get boba, especially if you like the Ding Tea chain.

    Good place to go if you're ever craving boba but just want the classics. There aren't any unique flavors but they don't disappoint. The service is quick and the staff were friendly

    Lychee Milk Tea
    Jenny Y.

    I haven't tasted the boba yet but I put the order in 20 min ago and the two girls who se very lost was asking what I ordered. I had to tell them my order- lychee milk tea with lychee jelly + golden boba, 50% sweet and less ice. It's complicated order I guess. But I wonder if ownership changed. I had to wait for them make three orders. One of the girl says that they no longer have tablet and that's why they didn't have my order? ‍

    This Ding Tea is located at the Source, and there is plenty of parking. My friends and I stopped by after we had dinner nearby. I love the overall aesthetics of the shop. It is a cute small shop, so if you drop by with a large group there might not be enough seating inside. The service was quite quick, we got our tea pretty fast. I got a passion fruit yakult at 75% sweetness and would say it was pretty good. I like how it wasn't too sweet and just enough balance for an after meal drink.

    Boba Tea after dinner in Buena Park, California... My friends wanted to meet somewhere after supper. They selected Ding Tea at The Source - maybe because of the free parking in the structure. The Source has many shopping and dining options. If friends don't agree on one place, they can split up, be happy, and meet up together later. Luckily, we all like Ding Tea. We each chose something different to drink. We were quite pleased to have a chat in the cute environment. The Instagram-worthy wall was the highlight. The one thing I didn't like was the strange odor. The shop had a weird fragrance that wasn't pleasant. I was glad to go outside, but I got used to it. Haha! I did like my Butterfly Lychee drink! It had a pretty purple layer, and it wasn't too sweet. It was fruity and refreshing! Thanks, friends, for a fun catch-up session!

I came on a Thursday around 4 PM and there were a few people doing work at the tables. The service was super quick and I saw why once I ordered. They don't had whisk their matcha but rather just squeeze the matcha out of a bottle. Lowk scared me but I was still willing to give it a try! I ordered a matcha latte and my friend got an einspanner which both looked promising. The matcha is very grassy and leaves my mouth super dry. The flavor is there and it's not super sweet which I like but it also has a weird salty undertone that I'm not used to in a matcha latte. I think I need to try a matcha einspanner since their foams seem to be what makes the drinks good but I otherwise wouldn't get this matcha again. My friend's einspanner was okay. She mainly liked the cream foam but otherwise it wasn't anything special. The coffee is just straight black so it's not sweet at all until you mix the foam in. Ratings Matcha Latte: 2.5/5 Einspanner: 3/5

Unfortunately, that turned into over an hour--with no updates from staff during that time. What made it worse was that we only found out after we had already paid that the kitchen was backed up. That's something customers deserve to know upfront so they can decide whether they're willing to wait. We were also there with a baby who needed to go down for a nap, which made the long, unexpected delay even more difficult. On top of that, they had already run out of matcha and the menu was extremely limited, which was disappointing considering that's one of the main draws of a place like this. Overall, poor communication and lack of transparency really ruined the experience. I understand delays happen, but being upfront and managing expectations would have made a huge difference. Extremely disappointed. We went to this place a long time ago when they first opened and remembered them having a more extensive menu and it being far better. Sad to see that this place has gone downhill. My family and I will definitely not be coming back again.
