Ding Tea - Great initial taste - horrible (salty?) aftertaste - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Super slow service. Took 25 minutes to get the drinks. The drinks were ok, not great . My daughter got the mango tea with rainbow jelly and it was bitter. What a disappointment! read more

Ordered popcorn/fries combo. Fries took up most of the box with little chicken for $12. Asked for it to be spicy and the chicken was mildly seasoned and fries were naked. Got it to go, so was unable to ask for seasoning. Had high hopes for this place. read more

One of my favorite spots for boba. . My to go to is the Taro with cheese and boba. The sweetness can't be adjusted but I think its 50 and its ok when I usually don't like sweet drinks. . The Taro flavor is real and doesn't taste artificial flavor. . The boba is flavorful with some honey tasting. Also warm and chewy. . The inside is simple yet clean and organized. Love the floral interior wall which is great for fun pictures or like background for social media. . The parking lot outside is great with lots of parking. Also lots of eateries next to it if your hungry. . Overall I like this spot for the boba. The drinks are good and quality. Thanks for reading and have a yelptastic day! read more

Ding Tea - Taro cheese creme to die for - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Ding Tea was my next stop in the Boba Bracket tour. Their location is perfect to stop by for a drink to sip on the way home. Ding Tea is located in the College Square plaza on the corner of W. Stockton Blvd/Bruceville Road. This is right off Highway 99, Cosumnes River Blvd/Calvine exit. Their store has some cute wall decor, and a cute rose covered wall for boba selfies. They offer 25% discount on a medium signature milk tea only, for the Boba Bracket. I ended up ordering a large wintermelon milk tea (non dairy base), with less ice. I was asked if I wanted my drink water based or green tea based; I went with green tea. It was sweetened perfection with that nice, traditional wintermelon flavor that I love. The boba was the right level of chewy and sweet. The cashier was nice and was helpful. I do like there's a speaker attached to the plexiglass barrier. I had a hard time hearing her at some points. Before paying, I'm asked to confirm my order is correct on a screen. Nice! Covid19 precautions: no indoor/outdoor seating, staff are wearing masks, plexiglass barrier at register, floor tape to ensure social distancing I was happy with the friendly and quick service, and the taste of my drink. I would visit Ding Tea again when I'm in the area. read more

I always go here due to the fact it's near the highway. Can't say enough good things about this place. Avocado coffee drink is a hit or miss and this time it missed way too sweet and not enough coffee Popcorn chicken is always good choice batter is crispy and it's the Taiwanese style. They also have self service kiosks which helps when they get busy. They have a flower wall for the gram photos and the floors are clean. Only thing is the employees are way too loud maybe it was closing time. Can't really enjoy your drink. read more

With Covid, you have to order online. FYI I've been here a few times. I tried their signature coffee drink and their signature milk tea with 75 sweeten. Both drinks are really good. My top three milk tea places in the Sacramento area would be Happy Lemon, Taste Tea and Ding Tea. Bonus the customer service here is great and the employees are really nice. I know I come here I would get good consistent milk tea and customer service. read more

First time here, my friend sent me money on Venmo to buy us drinks. Got a signature Milk tea with black boba and a Strawberry Yakult with Crystal Boba and Lychee. The girl at the front even gave me samples of the Crystal boba before making a decision. I was actually shocked she gave me samples. Only because our economy today, who literally does that anymore. But I loved it so I got it. It's a clean place and the workers were super nice. read more

This place used to be the shit, but now it's just below average. Under new management, new menu, this used to be the place to get Thai tea but it taste like ass now. They also implemented in store self order, but there's a $0.50 charge on the self ordering iPad device, and there's no notice of any of that until it's time to pay. My milk tea with boba was 6.10 before finalizing the order and when it was time to pay 6.60... really now?? Also asked for golden boba but I got black boba instead...I mean it must be really difficult to differentiate between your black boba which is pretty black to gold boba which is gold/tannish..... Used to be 4.5 stars, now 2 stars for shady ass practices and getting order incorrect I'd suggest going to rose tea lounge (under same management still hopefully) or going to Mr Sun Tea instead. read more

Ding Tea - Does this look like golden boba?? - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Ding Tea is a forgotten boba place on my list but we ate dinner in the shopping center today so we finally made our return. We ordered a taro with cheese cream and a peach milk tea. The taro with cheese cream was delicious but on the sweet side. It had so much ice that my husband finished drinking it before we even got to the car! My peach milk tea was tasty but the 50% sweetness was too low, so now I know that 75% is probably the ideal level there. They were out of boba so we couldn't have any of that but I remember it to be pretty good when we had it a few years back. read more

Ding Tea has the BEST brown sugar fresh milk drink (the Brown Sugar Boba Latte; not the Brown Sugar Milk Tea which is a powdered drink!) I've ever had. Maybe second to Tiger Sugar in NYC but definitely the best I've had in California let alone Sacramento. They are a bit out of the way closer to Elk Grove but I find the trip worth it. The boba is always delicious and chewy, and the brown sugar flavor is a balance of charred and sweet. They have almond and soy milk alternatives for my dairy-free friends! I've also strayed and tried the BS Milk Tea and Brown Sugar Coffee--both good, but not as good. Their flavored milk teas are just ok and I wouldn't get them again. The golden boba was great. I tried the Apple Milk Tea and Mango Milk Tea because I was intrigued by the flavors but they have an artificial taste to them and a bit of bitterness you get from oversteeped green tea. I much prefer the creaminess of the fresh milk latte. My only complaint is their service. Wait times can be verrryy long even if you call 20 minutes ahead. I don't blame them because I've seen their order queue before so they must be swamped! They also never pick up the phone and customer service can be hit or miss. I've encountered super friendly, accommodating employees as well as one who refused to even apologize for making my order wrong. I wasn't demanding a refund, just asking if they'd given me the wrong drink. She insisted that was what I ordered even though I had my receipt. Oh well. The love I have for their Brown Sugar Latte outweighs this one sour experience. During COVID, they only take online orders. No phone or in-person ordering. They have a website where prices are lower for pickup, and are also on DoorDash, Postmates, etc for delivery at a slightly inflated price. If you've never tried them, I definitely recommend! read more

There are so many boba tea places in EG now but I do think Ding Tea does stands out among the rest in quality of tea and consistency in taste. My go tos are their Milkteas with their golden bobas. During the pandemic they adapted to an online ordering system only so that can be a little annoying if you didn't know and showed up in person and try to order in person. But ordering online is probably safer for everyone so remember to order in advance online and you will get a text when your drinks are ready. read more

Another boba shop in Sacramento to go to if I ever want some variety. A nice thing about this place is that you can get a small discount if you check in on yelp, so hey why not? The lines can get pretty long and it seems like students will come here to study so grabbing a table might just depend on luck. I tried the strawberry tea and Hokkaido black milk tea. I personally didn't enjoy the Hokkaido black milk tea so I'd probably just skip this next time and have fruit teas instead. read more

Haven't had Ding Tea in a while and definitely miss it back home in LA. Glad to have this place out here though! I got a Honey Green Tea with Golden Boba. The tea was refreshing and not too sweet. The boba was soft, chewy, and the right amount of sweetness. Always love the flower walls that most Ding Tea locations have. So pretty and perfect for pictures! I was also surprised that this location offers a variety of snacks/appetizers as well like Popcorn Chicken, French Fries, Spam Musubi, and etc. I'll definitely be back to get drinks and try out their food! read more

Ding Tea - Honey Tea with Golden Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

I have never seen so many "regulars: 84+" for a boba place! Last time it was T4, Sharetea, then the newest Teacup...and now this!! Lol But now I understand why. This place was A-MAZING. Went with a friend on Friday, wasn't too busy. The space itself was a little small but that's understandable considering it's nestled between different restaurants. The interior itself was cute! The bathroom was so...what's the word..up to date. Heck, even the trash can by the bathroom was electric. Lol I ordered the signature milk tea with cheese cream with boba. Blew my taste buds away. The boba...the golden boba was amazing. It was so soft but also chewy. Not that kind of chewy where your jaw would start hurting. Nope! This was on point! The drink itself was prefect. Not too sweet! Even though I asked for 100%. Lol Everything about it was just so darn good! That cheese cream gave it an extra touch of savory. Next time I come back, and I will, I'll get it with the brown sugar drizzle but will have the sweetness level at maybe 50-75% if that's possible. Overall, this is my new favorite boba spot!! Gotta bring the boyfriend next time!(: read more

My boys and husband loves this place. Naturally, I always grab a drink with them. I prefer not to drink my calories, but the drinks here are worth it. Ice cold sweetness with toppings on a hot day...it's heaven! My 11 yr. old got the Strawberry Milk Tea with Crystal Bobas. He got the 25% sweetness, but it was a bit too sweet for me. He loved it! I usually get the Taro Milk Tea, but I was feeling adventurous today! I ordered the Signature Milk Tea with Cheese Cream. It was a interesting and really good, but not my thing. I'll stick with fruit tea or taro. Popcorn Chicken. Nicely fried. What's there not to like? Give this place a try! read more

Paid extra for less ice and literally about 75% of cup was ice. 4 sips and drink was gone. So you mean to tell me that if you dont pay for less ice than the whole cup is going to be filled with ice or what? Not worth 7.35$ for a drink when more than half the cup is ice. I dont live that close otherwise i would go back and have them re make it.. read more

I've been to Ding Tea twice now. It's located in a strip mall next to BurgerIm and Suki Sushi. The first time I had their brown sugar milk tea with boba, which was good. Their boba is fresh and chewy. The drink was on the sweet side, but I'm a new fan of milk tea, so I like it sweet lol. Their brown sugar boba latte looks cool, but I'm not really sure what's in it and I saw reviews that it looks better than it tastes, so I followed another Yelpers suggestion to get the signature milk tea and add the syrup around the cup. It was really good (and sweet), but I'm not sure I would get it again. It kept me up til 4am hahah. The place is always packed with teenagers hanging out and they play loud music. The decor is a little over the top. There were Christmas decorations along with a floral wall and a giant mural. Kinda weird lol but doesn't really matter. Overall, I would probably return but wouldn't necessarily recommend if you're not in the area. Decent enough boba spot and kinda your only option in that area. read more

Ding Tea is a solid spot for boba, and this location is very consistent with my previous experiences with this franchise. Their boba has a great texture, and they have been able to maintain their consistency at each of our visits. I like that you can taste the tea in their drinks since they're not as heavily loaded with syrup compared to some other places. This location has very artsy decor which caters to the millennial demographic looking to get the perfect shot for their Instagram (all while providing free advertisement for Ding Tea). Parking is easy since it's located in a huge plaza. I love the branded t-shirts that the employees wear and would totally buy one for myself if they're for the sale the next time I'm in town. The line also moves quickly. read more

I'm addicted to this place, and whenever I am near the area, I'll stop by and get their brown sugar boba latte! It reminds me of half and half in LA, and nowhere in Sacramento has the taste down besides Ding Tea. I also love the decor at this location. Very elegant and instagram worthy. This place can get super packed especially since CRC is just around the corner. I have had to walk away a couple of times because the line was out the door and kids were just hanging out. The staff is always super friendly. I'm not sure if they officially added the millecake and popcorn chicken to their menu, but when they did it for limited time, I literally hopped in my car and drove right over! read more

NOT MY CUP OF TEA... I wanted to try something new and made the efforts to drive HELLA far down to this area to try this place...I heard good things about the one in SoCal from my friends, although I have not tried the one down there, this one was a miss for me Another disappointment was the boba, it was not that soft and chewy as I normally like it. Unfortunately, mine was on the tough side 1) Brown sugar boba latte -I got this one based on looking at the pictures on yelp, and was interested in going out of my norm of boba drinks, but not impressed, got catfished by the pictures looking so damn tasty -It had a fake sugary like taste -I usually never adjust the sweetness and like drinks how the maker intended, but this one was too sweet to my liking and didn't blend well with the milk as I expected 2) Oolong with cream cheese -I couldn't even finish this one, and it is my normal go to at other places. -The tea was watered down and overall a lack of flavor...too damn BLAND 3) Lychee black tea -this was wasn't too bad, but still not as good as other places I've had Overall: I don't think I will be making my way down here for a boba run...there are other drinks that I may be interested in trying, but I would have to be in the area to even consider... read more

so i ordered the brown sugar milk tea less ice 100% sugar right. please riddle me this brother. why does 0% ice cost +0.50? i just gotta ask. because that shi don't make sense to me not one bit. use less resources to make the drink, cost more money? yeah just had to ask bout dat. but the milk tea was really good. i really liked the flavor of it. the boba was really weird though. not a fan of it. i'm gonna make a juxtaposition to compare this. so let's say we have rice and we cook it with too much water it kinda has that same texture. like the boba is way too soft man. also the texture when it's touching papillae is so weird. like when i bite down, there's like 0 give to it. and it's so hard to center it between my teeth ifyk what i mean. like it slips off my teeth. idk man it's just weird. but once again the milk tea is pretty good oh also the place was hella dead but it took damn near 15 mins for my drink lmaooooo. unfortunate but yeah man it is what it is. also the place is really dark too. almost as if it's oozing aura you know. honestly in all the pics i saw, it was nice and vibrant in there. light bill was prob hittin or sum so they had em off today. oh yes i want to add. if i were to compare the boba texture, id probably compare it to the wen of a goldfish. you know those little orange bubbles they grow on their head? yeeah those things read more

It's been a while since I've been to Ding Tea but since I was in the area, I knew it was the perfect way to end the evening. I like how vast Ding Tea's menu. This is my third visit here, and I've been able to try different, solid drink choices! This time, I went with the Medium Top Fruit Tea (~$4) with 50% sugar. The top fruit included passionfruit, strawberry, and pineapple mixed with a green tea. The Medium size is solid to satisfy a craving and way more appealing for pictures than the Large size, in my opinion. I really enjoyed the drink! It was well-made, refreshing, and fruity. This is the perfect drink for a hot, Summer day! I would definitely suggest trying it if you haven't already. I think it is my go-to fruit tea at Ding Tea! read more

I've tried ding tea a couple of times and I've gotten the same drink every time. I wanted to try something new that I usually don't get and decided to get the Hokkaido black milk tea. It is pretty sweet if you don't like overly sweet drinks but I like it! The only downside about it that they put so much ice in the drinks. I even asked for less ice on my most recent visit and I still had a lot of ice left over. Their golden boba is a bit smaller than boba at other shops but it is still good! I think service could be a bit better because the girls at the register seem a bit annoyed when I ordered. It's usually pretty busy in here so seating may be a bit difficult. read more

The milk tea/boba business competition is only growing in the Elk Grove/Sacramento area. Based on their opening weekend, I think they're potentially a promising contender against the existing establishments in the area. The interior is small, probably seating about 20-25 people. It's very nicely decorated, with a large mural on one side, a nice floral backdrop with neon sign that says "live colorfully" in pink, and cute artificial succulents on the wall throughout the location. I came here on both the soft opening day (Friday, Oct. 12, 2018) and the grand opening day (Saturday, Oct. 13, 2018). The first day led me to believe that they weren't very generous with their boba portion, but they seemed to include more boba on the 2nd day. The boba is a good texture. Their cup sizes are small in comparison to other places; the upgraded size is around the same size as other places' regular size. I've tried the Taro Latte, Brown Sugar Boba Latte, and Jasmine Green Milk Tea; my favorite of these drinks was the Brown Sugar Boba Latte. I'll return to Ding Tea in the future. read more

Finally giving this place a try after it has been opened for couple months. Came here on a Saturday late afternoon and the line was almost out the door! I didn't think it will be this crowded. Anyways, my date and I decided to still give it a try since we were there already. My date got the Hokkaido milk tea and I got their signature milk tea with boba. The Hokkaido milk tea was not good. It had a bitter aftertaste. The signature milk tea was pretty good. They gave way too much boba though. I ended up wasting half of what they gave me. The boba was good and chewy. Just the way I like it. This is a nice and small shop. A good place to sit and chat. Since they are located super close to CRC, they will most likely always going to be busy. read more

Aesthetic - 5 stars: the second you walk in you're welcomed to this super chic boba spot. The room is bright and the mural is beautiful and who doesn't love the totally instagram worthy floral back drop? This place defitently looks 1000x better than the lollicup that use to occupy the space. The benches are also aesthetically pleasing for the eyes and comfortable for the tush. Service - 4 stars: workers were fast and friendly. My only complaint is that I asked for no ice in several drinks but they still added ice *face palm. The drinks - 4 stars: Ding tea really isn't any different from all the other boba spots in the eg/sac region. I had the mango green black tea w/ lychee jelly and it was good. It was super sweet but the present of mango was there and that's all I cared about. However, I really couldn't differentiate between their tea to happy lemon's. My boyfriend and sister had the Thai tea w/ their golden boba and they enjoyed it. The Thai tea wasn't overly sweet and the boba was cooked properly. I do wish they had smoothly options. The price may seem low compared to other boba spots but their cups are significantly smaller. If you're looking for a cute place to hang out and take pictures, defitently the place for you. I think I'll stick to T4 or Boba teahkuse though. read more

New boba spot!! Came during their soft opening, so drinks were 30% off. Yay! Drinks: I ordered their Taro Cream Cheese (regular size only). It was much smaller than I thought, but I won't lie, their cream cheese topping is freakin' yummy! (Sorry Happy Lemon...) So is their taro drink! I even asked for 70% ice and sugar! If it was even 50% ice and sugar, I feel like it still would have tasted good. I personally just don't like the lids they use for their cream cheese drinks. It took me awhile to pop it open because I was scared of it opening downward and into the cheese part .....which it did..... lol So yaaa, their lids put a small stress to my boba heart. Price: Ok ya sure their drinks are yummy but without the 30% off, I don't think I'd want to order another cream cheese drink. It would be ~$4 and some change without the discount but the size of the cup just doesn't match the pricing in my opinion. Same goes for the other drinks too. I feel like Ding Tea is just a bit pricey compared to other boba spots in Sac/EG. Can't say much about the vibes and service because it was a bit busy for them but they held it down and looked like they had a successful soft opening. Oh, take a pic of your drink or with your drink in front of their cute asf flower wall!!! read more

I've been following Ding Tea on IG since before they even opened this location. I figured they've been open long enough to get over opening challenges. I came in on a Friday afternoon and there weren't a lot of customers. Since it was my first time, the cashier was helping me pick something new and unique which I've never had before. I settled on a Hokkaido Black Milk Tea (caramel) with 25% sweetness. Even though it was only 25%, it was still pretty sweet. I'll probably just have it 0 sweetness next time since the caramel is sweet enough. In looking at the menu, there wasn't anything which would distinguish this place from the myriad of tea places in the area. It's food and drink menu are standard. The decor definitely caters to the IG crowd. I took my share of photos in front of their flower background. I got an order of popcorn chicken which was extremely salty and needed the ranch dressing to cut through the sodium. Being as unremarkable as it was, I'll most likely won't be back any time soon, especially because the music they played was pretty offensive. I'm not a prude when it comes to music with graphic lyrics. However, when the music talks about explicit sex acts in such graphic detail that even I was in disbelief. I question the judgement of whoever thought it would be a great idea to play that music, extremely loud, in a place where people of all ages would come in for drinks. If I had my 11 year old niece with me, I would have left right away. read more

I tried the Passion Fruit Yakult Drink with golden boba and it did offer anything new. It also didn't help that they forgot my order and had us wait several minutes for it. The food selection is decent but be wary that the portion sizes are pretty small, especially for the popcorn chicken. Aside from this, the vibe of the place is the pretty lax and aesthetically pleasing. The games need to be organized. Overall, an okay place but there's definitely better choices. read more

We can still order it for delivery! This is what we do this time. So convenience! The order is ready in 10 minutes. The delivery took about another 15 minutes. Not bad at all! We have ordered the Signature Milk Tea with Red Bean and the Yellow Mango with Grass Jelly. Both still very cold when we received it. It is in a bag designed for two cups of tea.
