Came for a treat in the evening. The interior is vibrant and decorated well with a mural on the side wall, lots of seating and tables. The store wasn't too busy, and the workers were friendly and gave suggestions from the menu. We ended up ordering the taro mash with green tea milk tea, golden boba, burnt cheese foam top (25% sweet) and the honey sweet passionfruit with coconut jelly (100% sweet). We were served quickly. The taro mash drink was great. The sugar level was just enough for the taro to shine through. The cafe uses real taro and you can taste soft chunks of it in the drink. The creaminess of the cheese foam top and the green tea milk tea balanced the drink out well. The honey passionfruit drink was refreshing. The brewed tea flavor was good, and the coconut jellies and passionfruit flavors felt tropical while not being artificial or overly sweet. Would come again when I'm in the area and craving boba! read more

Ding Tea Williams Taiwanese Tea House I strutted into Ding Tea feeling calm and meek, Walked out emotionally supported by tea. One sip in and I whispered, "Excuse me, sir," Because my taste buds had just been promoted at work. This isn't tea that waves politely and leaves, This tea grabs your hand and says, Sit. Believe. I've had tea before lies. All lies. Those were leaf-flavored regrets in disguise. Milk tea so smooth it should have its own podcast, Coffee strong enough to bring your childhood back. I ordered thinking, "Yeah, this'll be fine," Next thing I know, I'm staring at the cup like it owes me an explanation. The pearls? Perfect. Not gummy, not sad, Each one bouncing like it knows it's elite-class. I chewed thoughtfully, nodded like a food critic, Then realized I looked ridiculous and kept chewing. The menu is huge, mildly intimidating, Like it knows you're not emotionally ready. You'll say, "I'll try something safe," with a grin, And Ding Tea will politely ruin that plan. Service is fast but never rushed, No chaos, no sighs, no judgmental huff. They let you take your time, make your choice, Even if you panic and forget how words work. So listen carefully, tea novices and pros: If you think you've "had tea," Ding Tea says, adorable. Come curious, leave changed, slightly caffeinated, And fully aware your old tea life was overrated. Five stars. Ding Tea Williams. Enter thirsty. Exit humbled. read more

I'm a fan of Ding Tea! They're near my doctor's office so I usually stop by after for a sweet treat. This visit I went for their Dalgona coffee milk tea with boba. It was great, nice coffee flavor, good texture on the boba. You can adjust sweetness and ice level. Staff is friendly and drinks come out quick. They cost $6-7 ish. The interior is beautiful, clean and spacious for the small footprint, with a beautiful mural on the far wall. read more

Passing through, almost home, & we were all in need of a pick me up. The place is beautiful, the owners are wonderful, & the teas are all quality and elegantly crafted. Blended so well, the flavors are fresh and the 'real thing', nothing made out of powder type of tea! I had the taro milk tea. So good! If i am out there again, Ill definitely stop for another tea of theirs for my way back up north. read more

This place is good and it's the only ding tea you can get the crème brûlée mashed taro drink. This is the only thing my partner and I get and I've even having it for 2 years straight ever since we've moved to PNW. I don't know why the other ding teas don't do special flavors. Luckily this one has a whole menu of them and they're all really fun read more

Came to Portland for a vacation and needed a boba fix. So glad I found this place - it's way better than some of the spots in San Francisco. Very modern feel and there are so many combinations to explore. I tried the Hokkaido Black Milk Tea per the server's recommendation. It has a caramel taste but also the depth of a dark tea. I got half sweet with incredibly chewy golden boba. Super yum! I only wish the cup was bigger because it was filled up more than halfway with ice. read more

This is probably one of the best places to go to in Portland if you are really into boba teas. (I should add that I'm not a big boba fan, but my kid and her beau are, and the boyfriend used to live nearby and go here regularly. He said that the teas here are very customizable, and he likes that). We visited here recently for the boyfriend to get his "usual" custom boba drink. I was immediately impressed by how large this shop was, and how open and clean. The interior shop pallet is very pastel-y, with soft baby blues and pinks. I guess there were some new employees working when we visited, as my kid's beau's drink took a long time to make, and he said they were a bit "confused" how to make his usual concoction. But he said they eventually "figured it out". And he was pleased with his drink. As usual. read more

The Feng Shui here in on point: crisp lines, open spaces, ambient natural light; clean, organized, elegant. The tea (and service!) is pretty good, too! A slightly overwhelming selection of fresh, flavored and milk teas, juices, tea, lattes, and coffee, all of which can be modified by level of sweetness, and the addition of boba, tapiocas and other jellies, seeds, and foams (cheese foam?! wut?!) based on your preference. We walked out with a matcha milk tea for myself, and a Thai Tea with boba for my wife, all for less than $10 bucks. In the world of customizable, consumable craft concoctions, I'd frequent this place over any Starbucks, any day of the week. There's nothing about our experience here that I would Ding them for; they executed their mission to a Tea! Sounds like a five-star experience all around, Williams! read more

I love bubble just as much as the next person, but my all-time milk-based bubble tea has hands down got to be a good taro bubble tea. I don't know of many places that put Real mashed taro bits in taro bubble tea and are Generous with their taro, but the fact that Ding Tea Williams does makes this place a 6 out of 5. All the boba were nice and bouncy and chewy. And golden boba? Thumbs up. The sugar-level was just right. My girls' lychee tea was super light and refreshing. You've got to take a visit party people read more

Always a special treat when I get to try Boba! I enjoyed the brown sugar milk tea drink, and then B got the Monster Boba as well, and they both were spot on! I got just how they are and really good, I may should have done less sweet, but it was a nice size portion for sure. Super new and nice spot in the neighborhood, parking was around the corner on the street, and really cute inside. Both gals were super helpful and very nice. Must stop in! read more

As a huge bubble tea connoisseur, I'm always craving some delicious milk tea. Having lived in the Happy Valley area all throughout my childhood, I have my go-to spots and fortunately had the chance to visit again when I was back home. This time, I visited DingTea. Their store is extremely aesthetically pleasing with several cute backdrops for that Instagram picture you've always been wanting. For my drink, I went with my usual order of Wintermelon milk tea. Wintermelon Milk Tea -I typically get this large, 75% sweetness, less ice and with black boba -This used to be my go-to order and my favorite drink. Having gone to other bubble tea locations, I've realized that DingTea's wintermelon milk tea is overly sweet.. While I have a sweet tooth, this drink has gotten to be too much for me. This is likely from the syrups they use that overwhelms the tea flavor in the drink that I've been able to taste when ordering the same drink at other locations. DingTea is a good location to sit and lounge around. Located close by to several food carts, it's the perfect place to catch up with friends or work. Depending on your sweetness tolerance, I'd recommend going 1 level lower on your typical order as DingTea's drinks are extremely sweet! read more

Nice and clean boba shop. The service is fast and they are good at adjusting the sweetness of the drinks, which is essential for us. The wintermelon and taro were both great. Boba balls were well cooked and lychee jelly had good texture. Side note is that the bathroom could use some more attention from the staff, but I think that may be managed by the building. read more

Ariel was so sweet and very patient with me while I was being indecisive! Thank you for being a positive welcome to the place!

Oh wow -- I was really impressed with this bubble tea place and its drinks. I came on a nondescript sunny Wednesday afternoon for a quick drink. There were very few people in the shop, and when they were, they were fully masked and socially distant. The space itself is something like brutalism meets cute Taiwanese -- I love the contrast of the grey with the bright colours. Service was quick and warm, and they were all practicing safety precautions also (masks). I got an oolong milk tea with regular sugar -- cold -- and it was the perfect blend. It wasn't too sweet but you could also taste the quality of the oolong. My only chagrin is that the ice occupied a good portion of the drink, but otherwise, it was a really solid tea! P.S. Make sure you specify you want boba, since it is not standard -- I don't like boba, so it didn't really matter to me. read more

Ding Tea Williams is delicious and delightful. Don't get discouraged by the lack of parking. Drinks are decently priced for delectable boba and milk tea. I drank the green milk tea and Brown Sugar Milk tea and give both spots 10/10. Dazzling boba consistency and dangerously addicting tea. Dependable boba spot to hang out with lots of seating indoors. Dis (this) review was a Decisively D-centered review. read more

I was in the area and decided to finally try Ding Tea Williams. I haven't had bubble tea in a long time so the easy order layout was great. I tried a Hokkaido oolong tea and found it very tasty. The best part was being able to specify oolong tea as a base instead of black tea. I plan to order it again next time. Side note: the store is in a very trendy area with lots of restaurants so arrive with your taste buds ready for boba and other tasty treats read more

I'm from Michigan and we have a few ding teas there so I was really excited to come to the west coast where I knew there would be more! Ding Tea's golden boba is always delicious and their milk tea is always refreshing. I get the guava milk tea with crystal boba back in Michigan and they made it a little different here but it was still so good. Ding Tea is my favorite bubble tea place ever The ambiance was very homey just like I'm used to and the person who rang us up was very nice! She didn't treat me like I was stupid when I asked for guava milk tea of the menu which I am so grateful for as someone with anxiety! read more

There are so many tea options that it's becoming difficult to distinguish between them. One of the milk teas we had was good, but no better or worse than competitors. They do allow you to vary the sweetness level which is nice. A pretty place with an emphasis on minimalism. No food options that I could see. Pleasant, but stoic service. This neighborhood is a bear to park, so much that we sometimes opt out. read more

I was short on time and ended up going to Ding Tea before a Blazer game yesterday. Parking was street parking only but there wasn't an issue finding parking.

Ding Tea is quite good overall. The boba is perfectly cooked and very flavorful, and the flavor of the milk tea is probably the best I've ever had. The value seems to be lacking, though, in that the "normal ice" level (what I opted for), is basically your beverage cup being filled to the brim with ice, and then topped off with more ice after the tea's poured in and settles the ice previously added. I honestly don't know if this was a mistake or not because If I'd opted for extra ice, there's no way they could possibly have added any more, unless they didn't seal the cup afterwards. This makes for a very small amount of tea, which is very disappointing. I'll get mine with minimal ice the next time. read more

Ordered the Oolong tea, 30% sugar, and 30% ice with grass jelly. It's a deep Chinese tea taste and matches well with the slightly bitter black jelly. Excellent for a summer day after some long walks in the city center. The server and most importantly the tea was very traditionally delicious. The menu looks similar to Kung Fu tea, but the tea itself is deeper. The pure ice tea option is at the top of the menu. And there's less of the milk and fruit tea confusion of it. Parking can be a bit tricky. read more

Let me start by saying every single person on their team is so very eager to help you decide on a tasty beverage. This gets bonus points from me as I like the conversation and learning about various options, which are plentiful. My usual order is jasmine green tea (prefer a little caffeine) w/black boba. Stepped outta my boba box the other day and tried the beverage suggested - I was going for something completely different and wanted the cute rounded cup - Mashed taro w/burnt cream & Golden boba won that day. Thank you for being one of the best boba spots I've personally tried and for the genuine customer service. I would give more stars if I could read more

Loved the taro milk tea with all the fixings and golden boba! Perfect amount of sweetness.

WOW! Was looking for a good brown sugar milk tea boba place in Portland and this place caught my eye. It had good reviews so I thought I'd try it out and I'm so glad I did. Their brown sugar boba milk tea is REAL good. I got it with 70% sweetness and it was perfect. Also chose slight ice. Very, very good quality brown sugar tea. It was creamy and caramel-like but not overly sweet and syrup at all. I also tried their jasmine green milk tea with boba and that was nice too although next time I'll get it sweeter as I only chose 50% sweetness. read more
