Ding Tea

Wow, wow, wow... The staff here are incredibly humble, kind, and patient. This is literally the Chinese version of Chick-fil-A. I am thoroughly impressed with how they hire the right people and consistently show superior customer service! You won't believe you are still in a huge city, especially since Chinatown is always busy and people can be a bit rough. Before it was my turn to order, I witnessed the Ding Tea girls patiently explaining items to new customers and waiting for them to decide. When it was my turn, I was distracted about my elderly mother's missing purse and gave the wrong order to Roxane. I wanted two milk Assam black teas, but I failed to disclose the 'milk' part. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 🤯😫😩😞When I saw the drinks, I realized my mistake and told them that what I truly wanted... Then ⭐️Laura ⭐️was like angel🪽kindly told me not to worry as they'd remake them for me. She even said not to worry about the price difference. No one made a face or an unkind remark, or showed the slightest dismay. 🤯🤯🤯 So unreal... Thank you!!! You have certainly secured me as a loyal customer. Of course, service alone would not suffice in this competitive market if the teas were not also top-notch. I keep returning because I genuinely do not need to go anywhere else.🙏🏻🥇🙏🏻

Our favorite boba spot in all of Houston, very consistently great service and drink quality. Clean lobby and bathroom also, friendly staff always welcomes us in. Not so hidden gem right down the street from lots of good food.

Cool little spot to drink Boba. Its small but very clean and the staff isnvery friendly. I recommend the #3

The staff is awesome and friendly! One of the few boba places that are open later than 9 PM! It was super nice and inviting! I recommend the Hokkaido Black Milk Tea with golden boba!

Ding Tea is my go to boba spot! They have a huge variety of drinks & even seasonal ones too. Staff is super friendly, and not to mention how cute their decor is :)

Grand opening of Ding Tea in Chinatown. No need to go to Katy for it anymore. The first 50 customers get a tote bag, though it's not a Houston Chinatown version. They put a lot of milk in their milk tea, but the tea flavor is insufficient. Their golden boba is special. 50% sugar and 50% ice might be the perfect amount.

I go here frequently. I love the Jasmine milk tea it's best I've tasted around Houston. Although lately my drink orders have been wrong. The last time I went, I ordered a jasmine milk tea with golden boba and got it with crystal boba. I just wished I double checked my drink before I left. Other than that I love this place.

I come here every week because of their chocolate milk tea with cream, it tastes really good. Great staffs and fast service!

Ya'll! I had the dalgona milk tea coffee with boba and I give that thang a 10 outta 10 outta 10! It was so creamy and rich and flavorful and caramelly. Oooh I drank it so fast that I forgot to take a picture. Betta try that thang ! I hear the Yakult drinks are popular and tasty so I may try one next time .

Ding Tea, Houston, TX (Chinatown) Monster boba latte w/sea cream - 7/10 Winter melon milk tea - 8/10 Passion fruit green tea w/boba - 8/10 Condensed milk latte w/boba - 8/10 Ding tea fruit tea - 9/10 Signature milk tea - 7/10 Thai milk tea - 8/10 Chocolate latte - 3/10 Green tea yakult - 8.5/10 I used to love going to Ding Tea for their signature milk tea but this time I think most of the drinks were just very sweet to me rather than strong. I personally would prefer more coffee/tea flavor. Their fruits teas were better than their milk drinks, which tasted more like milk + sugar.

Ding Tea replaced Bunny Tea (RIP) and does serve latte drinks and Vietnamese coffee. The service and atmosphere are still about the same. It's not too different. I do enjoy their Vietnamese coffee drinks since they're creamy and strong, but they're more sweet than I'd like compared to 10X Boba lounge. Sadly, I can't make this drink less sweet. I do like that it's in the same complex as Le Lai so I don't have to drive to another complex for a night cap. If I want my Vietnamese coffee less sweet, I'll drive over to 10X Boba. I have tried Ding Tea's fruity and Yakult drinks, which are pretty good, although they could use a bit more flavor to them.

I got a strawberry yakult drink with no boba. It was refreshing. Service was fast and there is not a lot of seating inside. I think it is a good place to go if you want a drink for any of the restaurants in this plaza, but I prefer to sit and enjoy my bubble tea with friends.

False advertisement and misleading on promo drink. Didn't offer to change my drink. And be careful the carbonations was expanding with the seal.

Ding Tea grand opening was pretty cool to witness. They had a line out the door at 1Pm getting ready for their lion dance. However, waiting in this line for over 1+ hour wasn't it! It was pretty disorganized due to the "Photo Booth" area they had. They had all close friends/family cutting in for pictures whenever they choose to and that made the line move slower than it already is. I'll def try this place again on a normal day. I was a little disappointed the "Bogo" they had was $5.50 off only. Not entirely a "free" drink But overall, ding tea drinks are still good ! I ordered their taro mash green tea with golden boba, I shoulda made it 50% sugar and it woulda been perfect. Ding tea has one of the better tasting bobas in Houston. I love their drinks even though it is on the pricy end (drinks start at $5-6, .75c for size upg, + $.75-1 for toppings) . I spent $10 with the "bogo promo" for 2 drinks

I've had Ding Tea twice and both times it was delicious and the service was great! I had a Thai tea with boba and my daughter had a fruit slush with popping pearls. Both drinks were really good. The second time I ordered ahead through DoorDash and my order was ready super fast and the people working were very friendly.

I forgot to take a pic of the boba :( but I went for their grand opening after seeing social media campaigns of BOGO drinks at the grand opening! We arrived at 6PM and hoped to beat out the crowd since we knew it would be busy but there was still quite a wait 30-45min outside. They did walk around with hot ginger tea to warm us up which we greatly appreciated in the cold weather!! The shop itself is pretty small and cozy but was bright and had cute photobooth decor for the grandopening. We ended up ordering 6 drinks (variety of tea, slushies, and yogurt drinks). Their signature boba is golden boba (a yellow boba ball with honey so a bit sweeter), but they also had normal black boba. I do wish they have this indicated somewhere on the menu as we had to ask to make sure they had it. The slushies were amazing - we had the passionfruit and mango which were so yum. Their brown sugar boba tea was also a classic and the boba was cooked well (not too mushy and not too hard. Their Monster Boba seems to be a mix of brown sugar milk tea and coffee which my husband raved about. What's neat about this places that they do have a large variety of toppings, such as Oreo, tiramisu and dalgona. I would love to try the Viet coffee next time or their dalgona/tiramisu toppings. I will say their small drinks are very small. In my opinion, the price of the small drink is what I would pay for a more medium size drink at other Boba shops. I want to say it is 12 oz? I think most others is 16 oz for small and 20+ for large but I could be wrong. Additionally, we were a bit disappointed to find out that the BOGO was really 5.50 off your second drink. I kind of wish they disclosed that in all their social media post since there was quite a few. Reason being that the small tea drinks already typically start at 5-6 but if you want boba or anything than its an extra $1 and then to get a large it is another 75ct so it's no longer fully covered with the promotion which was again disappointing when we came thinking it was full bogo. Overall, good boba shop that we may consider visiting more often but wish they were more transparent about the deal!

Shoutout to Judy at Ding Tea, friendly staff! Got the Dalgona coffee milk tea with boba. It wasn't super strong but still good. Boba was nice and qq/chewy. I also like their yogurt drinks as well. Ding Tea took over bunny tea. Plenty of parking within the plaza and a few seats to hangout inside.

I came here on opening day, and patiently waited in line for their buy 1 get 1 free deal they had going on. While the line was long, I did enjoy the overall ambience of the store, and the staff deserves a huge kudos for keeping up with a crazy number of orders. The store is clean with ample parking. In terms of the tea - Ding tea is a chain, so nothing I haven't had before. I appreciated that they included fresh fruit in their (slightly more expensive) fruit tea, as it adds some nice color/dimension to your ordinary drink. I have tried their yakult drinks before which is more unique to Ding tea as a chain, so worth checking out if you're in the area looking for something different.

Yummy! Came on opening day and it was about a 20 minute wait but once I ordered, my order was ready in only 5 minutes!! They have a jasmine milk tea and a jasmine milk tea latte; the cashier told me the milk tea was milkier so I tried that one, but next time I may get the latte bc the tea flavor in the milk tea was not too strong. The sea cream is nice and salty, but I wish it came with a different cap so it was easier to drink. We got the small sizes and they were perfect size :)

I tried the chocolate milk tea and it was amazing, rich, smooth, and just the right amount of sweet. Their fruit teas are super refreshing, especially on a hot day. The drinks are always consistent, and the staff is really nice !!

So glad Ding Tea finally came back to Chinatown. I absolutely love their coffee milk tea with golden boba. Perfect balance of coffee and milk tea ratio. It is my regular spot for boba in Chinatown.

Great service I got black unsweetened tea with boba and star jelly .....................................................................................
