Really recommend their fruit tea! Make sure to get it with 0% sugar if you're adding sweet toppings. I ordered the kiwi aloe tea with mango stars and it was perfectly sweetened with 0% sugar. Their milk tea also goes well with the golden pearls. They also have darts for you to play which you can entertain yourself with while waiting for your order. read more

Tried their Kiwi Aloe Vera Juice and Bubble Milk Tea. Both were not bad. I ordered mine with Golden pearls and they were nice and chewy. There weren't any people when we went so it's a nice quiet place to go to. We didn't get to try playing, but they had area where you can play darts there if you're interested. read more

My order: My sister and I ordered a hot and a cold version of the Hokkaido milk tea. We ordered through skip the dishes for pickup. Both at 50% sugar was way too sweet. I'd try this at 30% next time. The pearls we ordered were really odd-- called crystal boba, had a texture that was extremely crunchy and not something I would order again. 3/5 COVID protocols: It was more like a pickup environment Final Recommendation: Don't order the crystal boba. read more

Under $5 for 16 oz milk tea with boba and grass jelly? Unheard of in the States! This was my first bubble tea stop in the BC and I ordered regular ice but couldn't taste the tea in this drink. The grass jelly was good and pearls were nice n chewy though. read more

Ding Tea - Bubble milk tea with grass jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

A new spot for the all famous bubble tea, and no less another Taiwan franchise and the first in Vancouver. I see a trend here, but to open it up around my hood, where this is really a stone's throw away. Not opening up in the heart of the city, but the outskirts is a bold move and I hope they gain traction with the locals as the go to spot as there are not many BBT shops in the neighbourhood, and the biggest 'chain-like' drink spot is on Hastings... so nice and far. So I came during their soft-opening yesterday, and yes it was packed, line up out the door but at the same time pleasant to deal with. Standard setup, you go in, the menu is listed right on the wall, pick your drink, and order right at the front. I like the setup as you see the drink order being entered, including any additions like their special golden pearl (which they ran out of due to high demand). We did wait a while, but you have to expect that with a first day opening. They were however very considerate and apologized as they tracked us down and asked us what we wanted to substitute to. The order we chose was the regular milk tea (0% sweetness - as I thought we were getting pearls) and the addition of golden pearls (which were now substituted to crystal boba and grass jelly). We did eventually receive our order and it was very clean tasting, practically what we expected when ordering. The one thing I found was that the drink was very thin, in terms of very liquid, not as thick as others which was different. The crystal boba they were using are made from agar jelly and had a lot more texture than regular tapioca pearls, something I wouldn't have tried if they didn't run out of my first choice, the grass jelly was standard but always a good second alternative to regular pearls. They are still working through the kinks but seeing as this neighbourhood is really growing with more and more condos, and there is a T&T supermarket across the street it is set up for a lot of foot traffic as long as you know where it is. I will be back and hopefully have a chance to try my original order as it should have been, with their golden pearls. Staff is friendly, parking along the street, nice area to sit inside with it's minimalist design. Hoping to see you around soon. read more

I never thought about how long it took for a bubble tea franchise to arrive in this area. Ding Tea nicely fills that niche in this area and gives a decent option for people looking to get their bubble tea fix. Tried out the passion fruit green tea. I accidentally got an upgrade to their golden pearls so that was nice. Tea was pretty delicious and tasty. Liked how much passion fruit I could taste and what not. The golden pearls were a bit different from normal pearls. Didn't have the same kind of taste but it was similar in a way? A bit more fruity I suppose is the different. I liked that they were a bit more chewy as well. Small sample size but I liked my first visit to Ding Tea. Will hopefully be back soon to try out other options. read more

My bf decided to redeem himself with a bubble tea delivery. I complained to him the last time he got me a drink from Gong Cha and ended up getting the EXACT same drink I got before and told him I hated. We've tried Ding Tea a while back when they first opened and he decided to pick some up. He commented the two gentlemen in the store were really friendly. He ordered a Hokkaido Milk Tea, Matcha Red Bean, and Matcha Milk Tea/Latte? I didn't try his Hokkaido milk tea, but he commented that it tasted like coffee. My mom had no complaints about her matcha red bean drink though I think the portion of liquid to topping is off (refer to photo). I think it could've done with less topping. My matcha milk tea/latte was quite refreshing. It won't be my favourite, but definitely not the worst. Their version of pearls were chewy with a very subtle hint of sweetness. I would've preferred slightly sweeter pearls. My bf did a great job with this bubble tea delivery even though he forgot to give them my stamp card. I admit, I'm picky when it comes to bubble tea. read more

I love bubble tea, and was excited that there was a new bubble tea option in the area aside from Chatime. Having had Ding Tea in several countries in Asia my expectations were a bit high. They had their grand opening weekend where each day they have a BOGO predetermined drink and the first 100 customers received it in glass bottles. On Sunday it was taro milk tea with golden pearls. For their opening weekend we expected it to be a bit slower as they are new, but they opened late 20minutes late with a huge line outside, and we waited from 11-1230 to order and receive our drinks... I'm a big fan of the brown sugar pearl milk drinks and was excited to try the bobo monster latte, however was told that they were not making these pearls as they were spending their time making the golden pearls for the free taro drinks instead. Considering it's one of their top ten drinks I was pretty disappointed and had to choose a backup drink of passionfruit green tea. We also decided to try to pudding milk tea, and kumquat lemon ice tea drinks. The golden pearls are a by chewier but had no flavour and taro milk tea was the purple powder kind, but it was so watered down and tasteless - really disappointing. The passionfruit green tea was decent and comparable to other bbt shops. The pudding milk tea again was a bit watered down and needed more milk tea flavour, and the kumquat lemon ice tea was not bad except that it's a little savoury as it has a preserved Chinese plum in it. It was a bit weird at first but grows on you. Probably won't order it again though as the salt made it less refreshing. Given that it was the opening weekend, the staff were slow but friendly, and the drinks were subpar so I will chalk this up to newness. I'll wait a month or so to go back to try the brown sugar pearl drink I originally wanted, and hopefully things will have improved by then. read more

We were in the area and stopped by for bubble tea after dinner. I ordered the Hokkaido Smoothie in the regular size. I liked how they offer two size options so that I can get a smaller drink. The smoothie consisted of crushed ice mixed into the milk tea and was more of a slush texture. The downside is that I was left with a bit of crushed ice in the end after I finished drinking the milk tea portion. I preferred the regular milk teas more than the slush texture. I ordered my drink with 30% sugar and found the drink still on the sweeter side. The Hokkaido milk tea tasted like milk tea with a hint of caramel and was almost coffee candy like. Bubble tea shop had a decent amount of seating. Ambience is modern. Restroom was clean although it did not have a change table in case you need it for the babies. Prices for the drinks are reasonable. read more

My first time at Ding Tea and I was a bit wary given the 3.5 start rating, and the pearls in my drink being a medium brown colour rather than the standard black colour. Surprisingly, I was impressed by their Pearl Milk Tea! I got my drink with 50% sugar and no ice, and the milk tea was creamy without drowning out the flavour of the tea. The lighter coloured pearls were actually some of the most delicious pearls I have ever had. They were sweet and chewy, and tasted like bits of brown sugary heaven. I'm looking forward to trying their Hokkaido milk tea next! read more

Pleasantly surprised to find out that they offer almond milk as a dairy alternative! So I had to get a milk tea since I normally don't. I had the blueberry green milk tea. There was an option to choose the ice and sweetness level. They were quick making our drinks and all of us enjoyed it. The inside of the place has quite a lot of seating and two dart machines. I would definitely come back for bbt. The prices are fair and there's quite a large menu with lots of choices. read more

So...I can't stop going to bbt places. Help. I like the interior of this place. Clean and modern, I felt so darn relaxed! I ordered the grapefruit green tea with golden pearls. It tasted like a body wash but in a good way! There was sweet grapefruit pulp floating within the drink too, what an adventure! The pearls were sweet and chewy, yum yum. I am a fan. One star off though because they didn't have black boba available. That is an integral, og aspect of a bbt store. read more

Tried this for their uber BOGO despite all the negative reviews...Sad to say they are true. Got the brown sugar milk tea with golden pearls, tea was very watered down and still too sweet at 50% sugar (....and I'm a sugar enthusiast, trust me). Pearls too sweet with no real flavour. Save your money--plenty of better bbt places in the area (Xing fu tang, coco, etc.)... ps. their mousse is cheap sugary topping, not like cheese foam at all. 1/10 do not recommend sadly. Really hoped this place would be my new favourite! Hoping they'll change the recipes.... read more

Thank god a legit BBT place opened up nearby. They have a points systen, plenty of a variety of seating spaces , two darts games, a big table (not sure if you're allowed to bring a game there...) and if you get munchy you can always migrate over to t and t. Mostly milk and tea selections; in more a fruit smoothie person, and they definitely don't do mix and match fruit smoothies here. Still hits the fix tho. read more

Ordered through UberEats since I was craving bubble tea and wanted to try something other than ChaTime. Got a large cold Hokkaido Milk Tea with Golden Pearls just based on reviews from here and was pleasantly surprised! Got it with 30% sugar and regular ice and it was almost perfect but just a tad sweet still. Overall taste was a very nice roasted milk flavour and since it seems they don't have regular pearls, I added the Golden Pearls which are pretty much the same anyways. Very chewy and tasty! Price is about the same as competitors. Flavours are about the same as any other bubble tea place and they also do brown sugar but haven't tried it yet. Surprised that the ratings for this place aren't a little higher. Will definitely be ordering from here again and would love to visit physically. I'm glad I now have more options for bubble tea! read more

Ding Tea is fairly new to the Vancouver bubble tea scene. We have been here on several occasions and we enjoy their bubble tea. The first two occasions weren't the best as the waits were long - but this was due to it newly opening and everyone wanted to check it out. However, subsequent visits were good. They were not overly busy the times we went and got our drinks in normal waiting times. We tried their fruit teas and milk teas.. and like them all! My favourite is their Hokkaido Milk Tea, which I have gotten on at least 3 occasions. Their pearls are decently good too, which they make in-house. The location itself is very central with street parking. The interior is clean and modern looking, with tables and a couch. Worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

I was so excited to try this new bubble tea shop just opened across from Refrew T&T. The shop was nicely decorated and the staff was very friendly. There are a lot of seatings inside. However, I did not like my drinks. The Aloe Kiwi was way way too sweet though we ordered half sweet already and the Hokkaido Milk tea lacked in flavour . I did not get to try their Monster Boba (Brown Sugar drink); they only make it from 1-2pm. And as a fan of brown sugar drink, I would go back to try it, but not for these drinks ‍. read more

Came across this new taiwanese bubble tea shop a couple of days ago. First impressions were warm and welcoming. The staff were friendly, nice and helpful. The milk tea had a stronger tea flavour which I really liked. I love their pearls, they're soft and chewy. They had a promo where you buy a drink and they match it with their daily feature. I really liked their bubble tea, I will definitely be back for more. read more

Ding Tea - Hokkaido Milk Tea with golden bubbles - Bubble Tea Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Relaxed atmosphere. Would appreciate milk alternatives (oat, soy, even lactose free) for the milk tea.

Really wanted to like this place but my bubble tea was so watery it tasted like when you finish your drink but afterwards there's a little bit left in your cup from the ice melting. Why would anyone pay money for that??? But two stars because their covid game was strong, with order/pickup made possible with a speaker and menu set up outside. read more

Their signature milk tea tasted like water when I got 0% ICE. They also had a buy one get one free promotion. Apparently, you don't get to choose your free drink option. It's a fixed drink. There was a customer complaining about false advertising while I was in line. Ding Tea's response is that their promotion does not advertise you can choose the drink and one can check "comments" from Instagram/Daily Hive. Writing a disclaimer on their promotion poster would of solved some confusion. read more

atmosphere: large with lots of seating and clean. customer service: friendly price: market value with other places Food: I heard a lot about this place and since it was close - ish to my house and my dad's thought that this could be the go to place, especially cause the cups are stylish. it was their grand opening week and after a lot of hype from some of my friends was disappointed. first off they ran out of pearls. kid you not and secondly it was a cavity assault. I had the basic milk tea and it was so sweet i couldn't finish it. read more

Went there for their grand opening 2 for 1 deal. Got there all the posters promoting it was taken off the wall, so i was suspicious. Still i waited for 45 min because i have their leftlet in my hand. But then they tell me my free drink is a pre-made powdered taro drink. Don't call it 2 for 1 deal. Just say you get a "free sample" drink with purchase. I questioned them and they said i cant do that, the line would be too long. Wow what a scam! read more

The crystal pearls tastes like chemicals and the drinks were too sweet even with 0% sugar. They have a long way to go.

This place has a good selection and is the best bubble tea spots in the area. Big bonus for being open late. Thumbs up for sure.

Came on their grand opening. Obviously going to be busy so I was in there solid 30 mins. Drinks were so yummy! Dragon fruit yakult was good. Mango smoothie was just okay. Milk tea was spot on! Nice staffs and really cute and spacious cafe. read more

Lovely staff and very patient with my mom haha. The special pearls soaked in brown sugar didn't balance so well with the milk unless you drank it in an order where u aim for the pearls then aim for the milk. It's a nice place to sit and hangout. I recommend to go early because the line up can get hella long The fruit flavours are yummy but can be a overlay sweet if your picky But it's refreshing. I grew up in this area so it's nice to have a modern BBT place for kids to walk home from Tech, Templeton, ND...or just avoid T&T shopping with parents read more

Seems like this place has a low rating due to problems surrounding the buy one get one opening special. We didn't come for that so we enjoyed our visit. My partner ordered the Hokkaido milk tea, which was really sweet but fragrant. He would get it half sweet next time. I ordered a passionfruit slush, the ice was a bit chunky. They were out of regular pearls so I tried the crystal pearls which have the texture of lychee jelly (a bit harder than pearls). It's a great addition to this area which doesn't have much bubble tea places. I wouldn't drive across town for it but if I was in the area I wouldn't mind stopping by again. read more

I ordered Kumquat lemon tea. Price is reasonable. Good place for chatting. Service is very good. Staff are friendly but they are too slow. I were 2nd customer to pick up drink.

At least can use both hand work together read more

I really like this place! They're quick, their tea is good and flavourful, and the staff are really friendly. I'm a local who's visited fairly regularly over the last couple of months and they remember me and always smile and greet met - not by name, because I haven't introduced myself, but it's clear they remember me. They have a decent amount of seating and some nice tables. In fact, the whole interior is very nicely decorated, always clean, and with a nice atmosphere. I like coming in to work in the evenings - the late open hours are great for days when I don't have time until 8-9pm to come out and be productive over a large milk tea. My only complaint is that the music is usually quite loud. Thanks, Ding Tea! read more

Absolutely Horrible. This is not a corporate store and the business is registered as Golden Lake Enterprise Inc. The quality of the product they serve is beyond subpar to other various bubble tea places throughout Vancouver and Burnaby in my opinion. They advertised a Buy One Get One Free promotion Not Limited to a specific drink and they tell customers it is only available for their powdered taro flavour. I felt the customer service given was obnoxious when the owners were confronted on their lie. My suggestion is to air your grievances not with the staff but by contacting the corporate office through email. What A Joke. !!!!False Advertising!!! Please take a minute and write to corporate. read more

Friendly service. The staff Provides great suggestions when I am unsure and clarifies their drinks as to what products are in them. With 2 new ones opening so close by, Ding Tea is still my go to. read more
