Cons: this is a franchise. I've been to the one in Houston before and I didn't like it that much. This location was a bit hard to find. It's tucked away in a shopping complex. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is not fancy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Pros: my drink was very good. I got oolong tea with grapefruit And i added Crystal boba. Service was fast. read more

I've been here a couple of times and never had any complaints. Unfortunately, this recent visit will probably be my last. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was super hot inside[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the staff was less than welcoming, and they were sold out of a lot of their items. Their menu is pretty big without explanation of what some items are, so we had a couple questions but the lack of response was super disappointing. read more

Ding tea is now in my top five. Super fresh and flavorful that always hits the spot. They do a perfect blend various teas and topping. It's a small establishment and I would recommend you take your drinks and food to go. Finding Ding Tea easy and parking is a breeze. Easy in Easy out. If your in the mood for boba tea come here and see for yourself. read more

Tried to come in today at 7:40pm since it said they close at 8pm. The door was already locked, the girl inside was doing nothing but sitting on her phone at a table. Two other people tried to come in and were also confused because the time posted for closing was 8pm. A little unprofessional to close the door 20 minutes early and it must've been sooner than that because when we pulled up, the girl was in the back and walked by the door, she didn't lock it when we parked, it already was. Total turn off from coming back. read more

I tried Ding Tea over 3 years ago and ordered a Matcha Milk Tea with boba. It was watered down, had too much ice, and no matcha flavor. The prices for a regular and large was more expensive than all the other boba places in town so I never went back after that time. After so many years, I decided to come back and try their drinks again. This time we ordered the Crème Brûlée Monster Boba and Matcha Milk Tea with boba. The Crème Brûlée was too sweet for my taste, but it wasn't bad. The Matcha Milk Tea was great! It had a good matcha flavor and was not overly sweet. The boba is on the softer side though most likely being overcooked. Both drinks are still more expensive than other boba shops, but the drinks are improved from the first time I tried them. There is an iPad inside for self ordering, but it is faster to order at the counter. The staff were quick in preparing the drinks. The area is not very large, but there are tables and a cute bench with a background for Instagram pictures. I will probably come back and try the other flavors. read more

I didn't have high expectations of boba coming to Reno, but I was disappointed in the quality of the drinks here, especially for a national chain like Ding Tea. I've had other locations in California, but this location just seemed to have poor quality and confusing new drinks that deviated from the Ding Tea drinks I'm used to. We ordered the strawberry condensed milk smoothie and thought it tasted dimensionless and artificial, while the lychee smoothie was completely flavorless and looked/tasted just like ice. Popcorn chicken was decent, but contained a lot of small fried pieces without much meat. Overall, would recommend just stopping by Starbucks or a smoothie shop if you just want a refreshing sweet beverage. read more

I like their variety of drinks here and how they offer small bites. They were a bit pricier than what I'm used to paying for boba or milk tea. My kids are obsessed. Since we were already next door at Port of Subs, we stopped so they could get their fix. Service was friendly and fairly quick, but we were the only ones in the store besides another patron we saw enter the restroom when we arrived. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small counter inside, but not really anywhere to wait when it's busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would give them another try if we're nearby again. read more

Tasty but boba is flavorless. They have golden boba, the texture is amazing but I wish they soaked it in more sugar as they were essentially flavorless and took away from the overall drink. I had a large mango milk tea with boba and it was $8, so I was hoping to like this a lot more. read more

It's a cute little spot, but not sure I'd come back. My hakkaido bmt was good, but too sweet, so I should have asked for light sweetener. My boyfriend's passion fruit yakult slushie was not good. It wasn't even too hot outside today; but the drink immediately separated and had no flavor really. It just tasted like sugar, yogurt, and ice to me. He said he didn't even taste the yakult part. Overall I was somewhat satisfied with my drink, but his drink we ended up throwing away. And I only drank half of mine. read more

Thai tea Honestly it's always a hit or miss with this place. The amount of times i gave this spot so many tries, there is always something wrong with my order. I simply just get a Thai tea with golden Boba, but the Thai tea doesn't taste sweet it taste very bitter and I had asked on of the baristas that it doesn't taste sweet and it's too light and all she literally did was darken the color of the drink.... not ok read more

Ding! Tea is done! Wow. Just WOW! A review is worth a thousand words and impressions but all I can say in this one is WOOOOOOOOW!!!! There are many shops you can get tea from and several have boba as well. Come to think of it, maybe I need to come up with a concoction that can be truly named the Boba Fett!!! And I think I may have found the way based on menu choices. The flavors are strong - be ready for that. But it's not so overwhelming you won't appreciate it. Delivery comes fast and safely transported. The cups are sealed until you blast through it with the straw in your favorite location. Definitely give this place a shot - a definite return very soon - GrubHub will love this year in review! read more

I love coming here staff is always friendly and the food is delicious but just two days ago I went in and the worker was rude I ordered three items one being a Korean corndog which is advertised on the menu to come with spicy mayo but that day it didn't have any it also came with all the other sauces I never asked for I tried to ask for the mayo sauce and was told it would be an extra charge. Totally not worth the price it was half the size it always comes out to.(4 PICTURE IS THE WAY IT ALWAYS COMES OUT TO) read more

Came in mid-week morning, right before they open. The staff is very friendly, and helped me with suggestions to try a new drink. I choose the popular Monster Boba Latter and added Tiramisu and Golden Boba toppings. Lots of parking options, and the inside is very cute and clean. You have options to sit inside, or even order online to get it delivered. They have milk substitutions if you prefer. Good thing about coming in the morning right when they open so you know your boba is freshly made. I gladly had to wait a few minutes until my golden boba was ready, which I appreciate :) Always come back here for my Boba drink. If you like Yakult, have fun with the passion fruit tea with yakulk option. Add some regular boba and you're good to go! Definitely recommend this place! read more

TL DR: Ding Tea is a pretty good place for milk teas. I like the taro milk tea at 25% sweetness. Because the location is smaller, seating options are more limited. I didn't get anything with boba this time. The garlic butter popcorn chicken is okay. Ambience: 4/5 There's no decor or theme that's going to take your breathe away but that's not what you're expecting when you're going to get boba. The seats and tables were clean! The music was a little bit louder than what I would have liked, it made it hard sometimes for us to hear each other when speaking. But I did enjoy the mix of k-pop throwbacks. The building itself is smaller than some of the other boba places in Reno so if you're expecting to have a large party this isn't going to be the location for you. However, there are a few small tables and chairs placed throughout. There's also a neon sign and flower/grass wall where you can take a cute photo. Service: 5/5 Everyone there is super friendly. I went with a friend who was looking for suggestions and everyone there was very patient. They took the time to listen before offering suggestions. Every time customers had questions they answered them without attitude or annoyance! The service was also quite quick and we didn't have to wait too long for drinks and food. Taro Milk Tea: 4/5 I got the taro milk tea at 25% sweetness. It was pretty good. They nailed it on the sweetness at 25%, not too sweet but just enough. I couldn't give it a 5/5 as it wasn't the best taro milk tea I've ever had. Price is on par with what most places are charging now. I paid ~$5.25 for the smaller milk tea size. Garlic Butter Pop Corn Chicken: 3/5. I'm normally a fan of garlic butter pop corn chicken. I appreciate that it was fried fresh but I had a few pieces that were a little overcooked. The butter and garlic sauce was also heavier than other places that offer a garlic butter flavor. The chicken was still edible, but I think the salt and pepper option may be better. Overall, if you're looking for a place for reliable milk tea I think this could be a great option. I can't comment on the quality of the boba but will plan to revisit Ding tea again in the future. read more

I think some of the staff are new. It took a bit to have the girl take my order. It is cash only if you go to the register. You can use a credit card at the kiosk. They do make the drinks relatively fast if you order there. I think a delivery driver was waiting a bit for an order, and she was kind of rude to the workers. I ordered the monster boba latte, which was $6 + tax which is pretty standard now for boba aka a gallon of gas. The drink was pretty good. It's also nice they make a spot to take a pic of your drink at. I'd come back to order boba here. The boba was a nice texture. read more

Ding Tea Reno - Monster Boba Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This is a long overdue review but Ding Tea is another great boba option in the Northwest! We went a few times when they first opened and of course the line and wait was incredibly long but it was worth the wait. The boba is always cooked perfectly which is one of the biggest issues with boba shops in Reno. Like most places you can customize ice, sweetness, and select from a plethora of toppings. I'm typically a milk tea loyal but the fruit teas here have got me branching out! Try a guava green tea, made slush, with aloe vera. SO good on a hot summer day! Otherwise you can always count on the signature milk tea, thai tea, taro milk tea, or wintermelon milk tea all with their golden boba (and maybe some egg pudding). Once they introduced the online ordering it made it a much better experience: not having to wait in line in the very tiny shop, especially during COVID times. While it hasn't happened recently, in the earlier days there was always something wrong with our order. Wrong/missing topping, forgotten sweetener, wrong size, missing drink etc. Since it had only just opened and was very busy I didn't want to be too quick to judge but it was frustrating that it had happened so many times. Overall a great place that I think has finally found its feet and I hope it sticks around! read more

Great boba tea shop. They make a Crème Brule drink that is to die for!! Almost as good as the actual crème Brule itself!!

Quick stop location for two drinks and a popcorn chicken snack. Slush boba and milk tea slush were refreshing and just as I ordered. The popcorn chicken was okay. I prefer meatier chunks of chicken but these were smaller, crispy pieces. I appreciate the fast, friendly counter service personnel. This hit the spot for a hot mid-day pick me up. read more

I actually went two Days in a row! Show how good it was. The first visit in ordered a Signature Milk tea with crystal boba (thank you Yelp !), as well as a Brown Sugar Milk tea for a family member. I went as a walk-in, and there were a few people waiting for their drinks to pick up. Luckily I went at the right time as right afterwards there ended up being 4 additional people trickling in. The large had a great portion and I found the milk signature tea to be perfect, not lacking in sweetness but not over the top. The Brown sugar we found to be too sweet. In the next day I ordered to go two milk signature teas, after I ordering I received an email that they would be ready for pick up after 20 minutes. Just enough time to get over from where I was. There were sufficient parking spots and the staff were friendly. The to-go order cane in a nicely packed bag which they keep in a cooler.I would say depending on time of time it may be worthwhile to order ahead. read more

Finding a decent boba place in Northern Nevada is a little difficult, when you grew up in SoCal and grew up drinking boba. But it's really expanded in the past few years, and Ding Tea is pretty dang close to good boba. Seeing their Instagram on popular Reno local businesses, I was very intrigued and felt it was a must try. I came on superbowl Sunday around 3pm and it was very busy , but I got my boba in a timely matter. Located by Aldertos and Port of Subs on Clear Acre, it's a fairly interesting spot for a boba joint, but like I said the place was busy. There was a pretty good amount of people in the shop, so if you are cautious about social distancing, you may have to wait outside for a little. The place itself is simple, not very decorated but ... simple. They have huge screens viewing their menu, but I knew exactly I want from my fellow yelpers that have already posted photos of the drink I wanted to try. I got a large Monster Latte boba and luckily with my check in my boba add on was free, which was very nice. From waiting in line to getting my order it maybe took 10 minutes to get my drink. Not bad since it was a busy time, but I was fairly impressed with how fast I did get my boba. The drink itself was seriously good, i expected it to be super sweet , but it really was not as sweet and the boba tasted actually fresh and not like it was just sitting for awhile. To be straightforward, I'm very impressed with Ding Tea and recommend this place highly to all my boba lovers , especially if you were from Vegas or SoCal that has authentic and good boba joints. I'm now craving to go back and try their other bobas, and possibly come out of my comfort zone and try different add ons to my drink instead of boba. It was seriously that good. Thank you Ding Tea, you guys are now my fave boba joint! read more

Friend and I ordered drinks at work for a quick "pick me up". Ordering online was super convenient and easy: you have the same options to pick your drink, size, toppings, add ins, sweetness level and ice level. I ordered a regular "Creme Brûlée Monster Boba with 25% ice and 25% sweet. The appearance of the drink was cute and fancy, you can see the layers with the boba at the bottom and cream cheese & sugar on top. My favorite part of a boba drink is always the end, when you get the last of the boba and then what made this drink special was the torched sugar from the top. I gave this drink a 3 because it did not have any flavor to me like a creme brûlée would normally taste and i'm not sure if this has anything to do w the sweetness level I chose but it just tasted like a semi sweetened milk. I give it a 3 for appearance and maybe next time i'll try a different drink. Until next time .. read more

Pretty good! I was one of the crazies that came on opening day after work and boy, there was a long line. They made it better by giving us some samples of coffee while we were standing outside, which was nice of them. The coffee was sweet and warmed my hands right up. It was pretty busy around 5 pm, I think I was standing outside for 2 hours - for tea! I think the wait was worth it, haha. I am finally able to get my Longan Date tea in Reno! Of course, there was a BOGO for opening day, but since I waited in line for so long, I decided to get three drinks! I got the Passion Fruit Black tea and Passion Fruit Yakult. Both were pretty good, but my favorite was the Longan Date tea. I always order this in Las Vegas from Kung Fu Tea. It tasted pretty much the same, but they only have the hot version. The menu has a typo and it was actually displaying Logan Date tea, without a 'n'. The cashier didn't know what Longan Date tea was, but it was all good, haha. I tried to order food, but they weren't serving any for opening day :( The employees were nice and we got our drinks pretty fast. I will probably be back if I'm ever in the area or craving my Longan Date tea! read more

Wow. Just WOW. This place should write a book on customer service because theirs is FIRE!!! I always love a good floral jasmine tea. I honestly feel that it's really hard to find a good tea with flavor and body. We came in on a Monday around 6pm. We've been to Ding Tea in the Bay and in LV and I appreciate the consistency with tea flavor. Today, we ordered the Jasmine tea with sea cream and the Wintermelon with egg pudding. The Wintermelon was flavored perfectly at 75%. When I got my jasmine tea, I was excited and hopped in the car and headed out. It wasn't until my first sip at the light when I realized, I didn't taste any sugar. I had to try it again in case. Weird. I wasn't going to turn around but I was already having a day and I needed to have this be good. LOL Who better to save the day (no really) than the customer service here. They remade my tea to my liking and I even learned a tip to ask for the "milk tea" sugar for more sweetness. I'm so happy with the girl who helped me! She was so relatable and told me that if it were her, she'd want a drink that she was 100% happy with. read more

Ding Tea Reno is a great boba shop in Reno. I have been to a few other Ding Teas before and had great experiences so I wanted to try their Reno location. I ordered the wintermelon milk tea with with golden boba and it was delicious! The wintermelon milk tea tasted perfect and the golden boba flavor was really good, even though the texture was just a tiny bit tough. Overall, I was really satisfied with my drink. Ding Tea has a large boba menu with lots of great tea and milk tea flavors. The shop decor is ordinary, except they have one section decorated for fancy IG photos. The only problem I had on my visit at this location was that they had a Yelp check-in offer for a free topping, however, after checking in, the workers would not honor their Yelp check-in offer. Management should really take off the Yelp offer if they aren't going to honor it. They do offer their own point system through five star. read more

The boba itself was very good, on the softer side and not super sweet. I ordered the peach milk tea like I usually do when a shop offers it (not many do!) This peach flavoring wasn't my favorite (I know they're all syrup, but some are better than others) but the milk tea was good. Next time I will probably try one of the classic tea flavors!
