Every time I visit this place, I get their Taro slush with boba or the Monster boba. The sweetness of their Taro slush is just about right, not overpowering, while the Monster boba is typically sweet. The boba pearls at this place can be inconsistent in texture - sometimes chewy and sometimes slightly firm. SERVICE: I usually get my drinks to go from this place. You order your drinks, and they prepare them quickly. There isn't much interaction with customer service, but they are efficient, especially when there's a line. AMBIANCE: It is average, a little outdated, and could benefit from a little tidying up.
Updating review after trying out different Ding Tea locations This one is my fav... they have the best popcorn chicken
Love this location! I've been a returning customer to this location for a couple years now & the drinks & service have always been consistently great! The seating area is very clean with plenty of tables. The cashiers are extremely friendly & helpful & I'll be back for their welcoming service! There are many other boba tea shops in the surrounding area but Ding Tea La Mirada has the best, most authentic tasting tea & the most perfect boba, in my opinion. I love their Brown Sugar Milk Tea. Can't wait to come back to try the Matcha Latte soon!
Ding Tea has many Taiwanese beverages. It has nice decor but no photo op opportunities like other locations or Boba places. It wasn't busy when I was there. So, I got my drink fairly quickly. The customer service was okay. She could have been a little more friendlier. I got the Taro Green Milk Tea, which is Taro mash + green milk tea. I added golden Boba. They seemed softer than other boba I've had. Wish I had added crystal boba as well. The drink itself was good, but the Taro flavor could have been stronger. I always ask for the lowest sweet and ice levels. To me, it's so much better when it's not too sweet. You'll also get more of your beverage with less ice. You'll thank me later
I am so glad that we have a boba/bubble tea café in this area even though I do like the flavors at the other locations. I think the first one I went to was in Brea with my sister a few years ago, and I can't remember exactly which drink I had, but it was delicious and on the sweeter side. The ones in North County have a different feel to them, and although I really miss the flavors they have, the prices at La Mirada are super affordable because for the first time in a while, the cost was $4/something before tip, and a lot of cafés charge almost $10 for a drink. The customer service was efficient, and I have no complaints about my drink. Passionfruit black tea is great, and my new favorite combo for customizing is slight ice/slight sugar! I've been reading the horror stories of how a lot of these businesses are ran, but I hope that Ding Tea is an exception.
The service was friendly but I'm guessing they were pretty busy with online orders. I got my drink super fast but the popcorn chicken ended up taking about 20 minutes due to high volume. It was about 4pm on a Thursday so I would probably recommend getting prepared to wait just in case. The mild is still pretty spicy with is the norm for popcorn chicken but to someone who hasn't had it- be prepared! Mild is NOT mild and I can't even imagine how hot the hot order is the iced brown sugar coffee latte was okay but I wasn't a fan of the crystal boba. The texture was way different than I was expecting. There were a fair amount of tables and chairs so you can either dine in or grab to go. Good vibe overall.
This ding tea location is as good as the other ones. They make good drinks and it always keeps me happy. Service is always quick and friendly. What makes me happier are the golden fish balls. They are so yummy! Honestly, one of the reasons I keep coming back is for the golden fish balls. Sometimes they sell so many fish balls they run out of them. That tells you something. So, come by and watch a bunch of college students work hard to make your drink. They are so good at it. It's like a well oiled machine. Clockwork. Lol. So fun!
I ordered 2 popcorn chicken . 1 spicy and 1 no spicy. They're put too much spice so my chicken taste like bitter spicy.
Mia needs to work on her customer service skills. I called in tonight at 9:55 in an attempt to call ahead for an oolong milk tea since I was driving and 3 mins away (I live just 5 mins away). The girl who picked up (the cashier) told me they don't take phone orders, but that they close in 5 mins so I had to get there by then. I told her I'd be there soon. When I arrived, another customer had just arrived too, and we nearly went in simultaneously. While he ordered (he ended up ordering 3 monster teas and some chocolate looking drink), my husband and I waited and just looked at the menu. That's when Mia came over by the cashier and told us that the person in front was their last order because they're closing in one minute (literally while the guy was still ordering). I told her that I was the one who called in and was told they closed in 5 mins when we were 3 minutes away, and we literally came in at the same time as the guy in front of us. She rolled her eyes and said, "Yeah, but it'd be really *difficult* because we close in one minute." My husband and I were stunned at Mia. Literally, we were inside before they closed and she gave us such an attitude. When the man in front finished, we asked again if they can simply make my one drink, and the cashier asked if it was the oolong milk tea (she must have been the one who picked up the phone). She still took the order (out of oolong, so I got jasmine) and it was ready right at the same time as they gave the man in front his order. Mia didn't even end up making the drink, as it was some other coworker's task. She just didn't want to wash another cup. Really?! She needs to work on her customer service. You don't kick someone out before the store closes, especially when they came in a second after the guy in front. The cashier, the drink maker and the guy mopping the floor, I have no issues with. It's just Mia that was appalling in her attitude. I worked at a boba tea shop for nearly a year in college and yes, I hated when customers came in right before we closed at 10:30 PM, but I still took their order because that's my job--to serve and make my customers feel welcomed.
I hit this spot to pick up some cold teas, I ordered Thai Milt Tea with Boba. The Teas were very good and well made. The staff here is friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back when craving a good Tea!
Taro green tea latte with golden boba half sweet is perfect. Monster Bobo latte is good if you have a sweet tooth. Their golden fried fish balls with roe inside is amazing. Can't wait to come back to try more things
One of my worst experiences EVER. I order a strawberry smoothie with honey boba, everything goes well the interaction with the cashier. But here's the part that really gets me. I didn't receive A STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE. I got strawberry milk tea. This is absolutely unacceptable, milk tea doesn't even remotely sound like smoothie. Honestly I'm appalled, that's what I am.

Cute, cozy, and clean spot! It was super busy when I came in, but the staff was so friendly and welcoming. They had just finished taking an order for a group of 15 before mine and still handled everything with a great attitude. I ordered the Thai tea and the Brown sugar milk tea. The Brown sugar milk tea was a bit too watery for my taste, and I couldn't really taste the tea flavor. The Thai tea, however, was just right. Well balanced and enjoyable. Overall, the drinks were refreshing, though I would describe them more as refreshing beverages than a strong caffeinated pick me up. read more

Came here to get boba really quick before my nail appointment and the service was fast! They had online orders too, but they didn't have me waiting long. I just got the matcha milk tea with honey boba and it was pretty bomb! Even though I got a basic drink, they have SO many selections and options to choose from. You can really customize your drink the way you want it! If you're there in person, I'd ask the staff for recommendations or if the toppings/add-ins go with the drink you ordered. There were two girls who worked when I came and they were really nice! They gave me quick advice on which ones were the best and helped me make my choice. Next time, I'll try the online order route and see how that goes, but I'll definitely be back (probably before my nail appointment again) and try more! read more

I visited this place for the first time and the girl working the register was friendly and nice. I ordered a Matcha Milk Tea with strawberry purée and boba. It was so yummy! I also ordered a spicy popcorn chicken and mild French fries. I really enjoyed the sauce the popcorn chicken came with as it helped with the heat but overall it was very good and tasty! read more

No frills drink place. Came here after eating next door at Kimbap Paradise. I like my drink-Lychee Oolong Tea with Golden Boba (they were out of Aloe Vera the special drink included). The only thing out of ordinary was when they called "Tina" when our drinks were ready. No one named Tina in our party-not sure where they came up with it. read more

I've been coming here for years, ever since they opened. Such a peaceful environment I always leave happy. Very honest and respectful business. I didn't even know but I apparently left some cash on the table and left without it, they saved it for me and returned it to me the next time I came in. They didn't have to do that but it goes to show the type of business they run. So YES I would highly recommend this place to get the best tasting boba in la mirada. The Thai tea with golden boba is my favorite go to along with the popcorn chicken ... but I do warn you to think about the spice level you choose because the hot is HOT read more

Brown sugar Milk tea - average $4 Cafe latte with brown sugar - average $4 Please bump up the Air conditioner - it's way too hot in this cafe. I feel mostly bad for the employees. The drinks are average tasting but the AC is a turn off might not come back due to the lacking AC. read more
Located in the Stater Brothers plaza, this location is very small with only a few tables inside. I ordered the Hokkaido Oolong Milk Tea with golden boba (recommended if you have a bit of a sweet tooth). Staff were very friendly and prepared my drink quickly. I really like the sweet caramel flavor of this particular milk tea and tend to always order it when stopping at a Ding. The boba was soft and chewy; I enjoyed each one of the squishy little fellows. This location is yet another good one for the Ding Tea chain. read more
