Ding Tea Richardson

I came into Ding Tea around 9:00 PM, about an hour before they closed, and honestly didn’t expect much that late—but they proved me wrong in the best way. The shop had a clean, cozy vibe with mellow lighting that made it feel relaxed, not rushed. The drinks? On point. I got brown sugar milk tea, and it was well-balanced—not too sweet, boba perfectly chewy. You can tell they care about quality, not just throwing things together. What really stood out was the service. Even that close to closing time, the girl behind the counter was super friendly, patient, and made the whole experience better. You know how sometimes you walk into a spot late and feel like you’re bothering them? Not here. She smiled, gave good recommendations, and the energy didn’t feel forced. Definitely coming back. Late night boba cravings just found their new spot.

One of my favorite boba milk tea joints because they serve golden boba, and their tea is very aromatic compared to other places. We came to this location for milk tea after having dim sum in the area. I got the signature milk tea and taro milk tea with adjusted sugar level. They were both really good. Overall, great boba place with adorable setting, spacious, and friendly customer service.

Ding Tea offers an incredible variety of Boba choices in an adorable setting. The menu features a wide range of flavorful teas, and the staff is well-informed and ready to suggest delectable options when you're undecided. Additionally, the charming ambiance makes it an ideal spot to gather with friends, study, or enjoy your evening.

A chill hang out with fruit tea and boba 😋🧋 Pros: - fast service - cozy seating - accommodates large groups - large menu of options - rich aromatic tea - golden boba pearls - cute interior with music Cons: - staff seemed unhappy to be there - no brown sugar options - furniture is falling apart - for the area, this tea is expensive - milk tea texture is somewhat grainy

One of my favorite boba joints! Ding tea has really great tasting teas and so far, they have a consistent taste throughout the country. When I tried this place in LA, and I tried it here for the first time, to my pleasant surprise, it tasted the same! Ordered their green milk tea and a winter melon tea. Both tasted super great. Price wise, also pretty standard with other boba places. The place is clean, they have board games, and plugs. Great place to study and hangout. Pretty chill place, for sure recommended!

Ding Tea is always a fun and cute place to grab some bubble tea with friends and hang out or even do homework! The gal that took my order was very kind and attentive. I asked her what she recommended, and she asked me what kinds of drinks I like! I eventually came to the Honey Milk Tea with boba! She also told me if there was anything wrong with the drink to let her know, which I appreciate a lot. You can tell she really cared about my experience there! So, I ordered the Honey Milk Tea with regular boba. Loved it! I’m a big fan of sweet and delicious milk tea, and that’s exactly what I got here. It tasted just like honey, and it was super sweet. I noticed that they have a huge drink list here, so I’ll be back to try more! I love a wide variety of options because it always gives me a reason to keep on coming back!

Fantastic Boba options in a very cute space, what more could you ask for? Ding Tea has a ton of delicious teas and the employees are knowledgeable and can always recommend something delicious if you need help deciding. Plus, this is a great place to meet up with friends, study, or even take a date.

Great drinks as always! My personal favorites being the royal artichoke tea and almost any milk tea with golden boba, however they haven't had those in a while, so I'm hoping they'll come back soon.

wow wow wow ding ding ding ding! love this spot so good. go to college spot (im 54). the workers are so nice, had to tip $100 bones. all john's aside this place is really good. i love the thai tea it's so good. ambiance eats! it's so good for studying. yum yum yum. help yelp im a daily yelper and i love yelp. yk what i love too? ding tea yassnfdjdj

I had high hopes for Ding Tea, as I had been to another one of this chain's locations with an excellent experience. I ordered with the Yelp check-in offer for 10% off, but not only did the employees seem unfamiliar with this, they also had me wait while they called the owner over the phone for several minutes and at one point took my phone in order to facetime my screen to him. I ordered a wintermelon milk tea, which was classified under the "tea" part of the menu and not the "milk" (non-tea) part of the menu. I ordered for the lowest level of sweetness. However, when I got the drink, it looked and tasted like straight milk. I asked the employees, who said that 1) the wintermelon milk tea is actually just milk, not tea (despite listing it under the tea-based drinks) and that since their sweetener is based on syrups, they ended up using less syrup for mine, hence why I ended up with a cup of milk. I'm grateful for the staff who went to lengths to figure out the coupon and also offered to replace the drink with a regular boba milk tea, but there certainly seem to he some irregularities and inconsistencies to this store's operation that could be improved upon.

Milk Tea with Boba Super solid! Fun golden pearls. Good tea flavor. Such a cute little wall they have here

Vegan review. This place was great! I love that the drinks are made with non dairy products! I got the coffee drink which was so delicious! I say to read my book, and it was so peaceful! The service was just as good, they were sweet and made my drink quickly! I loved my experience so much that i will definitely come back in the future!

the wintermelon milk tea was yummy yummy! I would give them 6 stars but the kiosk wasnt working This was the best drink ive had here yet!

My fav and the best boba place in DFW! Oolong milk tea is my fav drink with 25% sugar. Also pandan coconut waffle was so good. I love it

I LOVE this place!! The teas are delicious (I recommend the peach black tea with boba) and the atmosphere is relaxing. Very kind and considerate staff as well!

pros: - near school - Yelp check in gives free toppings cons - not the best tasting boba, and the tapioca is not as good as TeaLatte's in Mckinney - can be crowded

Ding Tea is my go to spot anytime I'm on campus at UTD. Their tapioca is good, the shop is clean, their tea's are flavorful, and the staff is always lovely. I catch myself here at least twice a month. I love their Green Tea, give it a try.

Good service, good place for studying and spending time with friends. The staff is very helpful, will recommend you good choice. I love the flavored tea here, especially the mango and lychee. I will come back here

I'm obsessed with boba (at one point I was drinking one per day, oops), and this place is one of my top choices in Dallas. Their teas are fresh and high quality, and their boba is always chewy and perfectly sweet. They also use golden boba rather than the traditional black boba, which has the extra perk of not staining your teeth! I promise it tastes and feels exactly the same as black boba. My favorite drink to order is their jasmine milk tea. My husband loves the strawberry milk tea. Their drinks are also not overly sweet, so I usually only have to get 75% or 50% sugar.

I think Ding Tea is one of the most solid boba options in Dallas! I like to compare quality of the tea aspect as well as flavor/texture of boba, and Ding Tea excels at both. I always pray their golden boba isn't out since it makes their drinks stand out even more above the rest. My go-to is jasmine green milk tea with golden boba and half sugar since that's my personal preference. All in all one of my favorite places to relax with friends after dimsum or any other meal in the area!

If you love Boba you will love Ding Tea! I was hoping that one would open up close by and it did! There really is everything for everyone. I'm a HUGE tea drinker, boarding obsessive. My kiddo loves yakult so of course she got the mango yakult! The hubs has to watch his sugar and so it was grea they have no sugar option and he got the jasmine green tea and was very happy. I am a matcha crazy tea drinker. Had it iced 50% with no added sugar (there is a natural sweetness in the powder!) Overall a great experience and beautiful instagram worthy space! The only thing I wish is for a broader hot tea selection or items that are hot! (I am aware we are in Texas, lol!)

It's a decent boba place. The prices have gotten a bit expensive. They have a huge selection of drinks, but all of the ones I've tried have been extremely sweet even at half sweetener. The boba is good, but it's not the brown sugar boba that many are used to. There's definitely better places in the area, but this is fine if you're around UTD. I'm giving it four stars because the ambience is good for studying and the workers are always willing to make adjustments to your drink to make sure you have a good experience.

This place is always busy but their service is so quick. One of the best Ding Tea locations in North TX and I say that cause I've tried them all heh. My go to here is a taro milk tea or matcha latte !

It's kind of expensive but it's pretty good. Boba quality is solid (when they have it) I like most things there and their limited stuff is pretty tasty too. The monster latte is really sweet so I usually lean towards more tea based drinks.

Top-notch service, lovely friendly staff, 7-drink order was perfect. Definitely coming back again

Wow there service is amazing! And most important there golden boba is the best if you ever had boba anywhere else you'd understand! The ambience of this little shop is peaceful and romantic for a nice little date! Must try! Must visit!

Need to update my review bc I've been here 3x in a week to get the artichoke drink. It's so good and refreshing. Got some for my nephews this time and they liked it too. Honestly, I only come here for the artichoke since I'm too lazy to drive farther than I have to, but if they add this as a permanent item on the menu then they'll continue to get my business. If not, I'll just go to the closest Ding tea by my house since I don't think that one has the artichoke drink yet. P.S I prefer regular sweet over 50%. Very subtle sweetness so it's perfect for me. Make sure to ask for less ice so you can get more of the goodness. I go for 30% ice level. Sipping on it as I'm updating this revie

First time checking this place out. Since wife is a bit picky and was unsure if she would like their milk tea, I comforted her that I can always drink up whatever she doesn't like. When the cashier heard that, he was kind in saying that they can remake it for her if she doesn't like what she gets. I got the Mango Milk Tea at 70% sweet while she went for the Signature Milk Tea at 50% sweet. Both are super smooth with a nice tea flavor, and the golden looking boba are the prefect texture! The only thing missing is a more distinct signature taste (the Signature Milk Tea tastes super similar to somewhere else); she says she will try something else next time, perhaps the Jasmine Milk Tea at 35% or something.

Ding tea is the go to boba spot for me and bae. In Dallas Richardson Texas area code 75 something. Staff is friendly and are always willing to help with questions! Ya boi will be back.

I love ding tea! Their drinks never lets me down. My favorite is the wintermelon milk tea 50% sugar and the strawberry green tea with lychee jelly!! The tea is amazing and not overly sweet and I love how they use fresh fruit. The decor is super cute, spacious and casual inside, a really good place to just chill with friends and/or study at. The staff is super nice as well which is a plus. They always have specials going on which is really awesome, I follow them on IG to keep up with it! Happy that this location opened and is close to me now :)

Very cute and good boba shop! We got the signature milk tea and strawberry milk tea and enjoyed both. The strawberry milk tea has jam mixed in with the boba at the bottom and it was so yummy! Prices were good too. Less than $5 for a pretty large drink with boba, which seems cheaper than a lot of places I've been too. During COVID, staff is wearing masks and it felt safe. Seating is open inside again too!

I love their teas and I'm happy they opened another location that I can get to. Their original location in Arlington is way too far. Their flavor teas are my go to. I get pineapple green tea a lot because it has pineapple bits in it. The kumquat teas are also delicious. With COVID19 going on. They are taking to go orders only or delivery if you can catch them on food delivery apps

Love the service! The employees were super sweet and answered all the questions with a smile. Will definitely be back! Pro tip: UTD students get 10% off!!

This is my new go to boba place! My best friend introduced me and I LOVE it here! My favorite is the taro milk tea with boba! I'm so glad that I was introduced to Ding Tea! I've started introducing my friends to this place too and they've grown to love it just as much as I have! I'm so glad that I found this place but sad I will be moving away in just a few weeks

The Signature milk tea here is perfection! Sweet, cold and refreshing! The golden bobba have the perfect chewiness and the tea is just strong enough, with a milky, but not overpowering creaminess. This place is a nearly daily stop when I'm in town and the management here is all about customer satisfaction. As a matter of fact, every time I/anyone receive(s) a drink they always say something to the effect: Please let us know if everything is okay. And when it isn't, they fix it immediately. I also like to call ahead so that when I arrive, I can just walk in to grab my drink and go. They have plenty of sitting and studying areas and the bathroom is always squeaky clean. Evenings and weekends tend to be busy, but as whether you come right when they open or 30 before they to close up shop, drinks are always consistent and everyone who works here is friendly and welcoming.

Out of all boba places, Ding Tea is top tier. The flavors are fresh and the fruit flavors are not too sweet and they use real fruit, which I appreciate. The staff is welcoming and place is clean as well. I had the kumquat lemon ice tea with crystal boba and highly recommend to bring fruit flavors down to 50% sweetness. Looking forward to be back and glad Ding Tea has been added here!

I went for the soft opening and enjoyed the buy one get one half off deal! After reviewing the extensive menu, I decided on a kamquat tea and a strawberry Yakult (yogurt). The kamquat tea was fresh and citrusy. The kamquat gave an interesting bitter taste. I really enjoyed the Yakult drink. I have been wanting to try it, but worried it the flavor would be too strong. To my surprise, it was very light! Sweet, but tart! It was really busy because of the soft opening. I will try to come back on a normal day to take advantage of the super cute sign.

they were very friendly and patient with us! And had a wide variety of drinks! Definitely recommend!

I came to Ding Tea with a few friends to try it out since it was near UTD campus. The decor at this location is very aesthetically pleasing while remaining relatively simple. This is much improved compared to the Garland location which felt a little in your face with their layout. I ordered a Monster Latte which wasn't on the menu but was described as a Brown Sugar Milk Tea with fresh milk and added caramel. It was definitely one of the best milk teas that I've had. It tasted like what I would imagine a tres leches cake would taste in liquid form, I would heavily recommend trying this drink. This might be on the sweet side for some so I would consider lowering the sweetness. The drinks came out really quickly and the service was very friendly. They overheard another customer talking about the drinks and came out and offered to remake it even though they didn't directly receive a complaint.

My roommate and I come here literally ALL the time for late night boba. Their brown sugar milk tea is heavenly... first tried Ding Tea in Los Angeles and loved it so much, was happy when they opened on here, close to campus too!!

Royal artichoke was refreshing and loaded with different flavors and textures. Honey green tea on point too!

Ding Tea is quickly becoming one of our favorite boba spots. It's never too busy and they staff is friendly and efficient. Join their rewards program to get free drinks and there's a ton to choose from! I like to bounce around from regular tea to milk tea to slush but haven't made it to the slush phase yet since I just love their regular tea. The kiwi black tea is my far my fave and they can customize sweetness or boba amount. They always tell you to try your drink when you're there and if you're not happy with it, they are happy to make it right. Great spot to cool off!

Ding tea recently opened up near UT Dallas and is a good place to hangout and study. They also have board games so if you want to take a quick study break they got you covered! Some of our favs were their dirty sugar boba, brown sugar milk tea, guava with boba, lychee with grass jelly and Thai tea, everything was amazing! They also use white boba pearls which look super nice and taste amazing! They also have happy hour from Mon - Fri from 3-6PM, so stop by for sure!!

Ding Tea is always a fun and cute place to grab some bubble tea with friends and hang out or even do homework! The gal that took my order was very kind and attentive. I asked her what she recommended, and she asked me what kinds of drinks I like! I eventually came to the Honey Milk Tea with boba!

I noticed that they have a huge drink list here, so I'll be back to try more! I love a wide variety of options because it always gives me a reason to keep on coming back!

Even after covid, the quality is still very good in their boba and their tea. I would say that my favs from this place are their black/green tea with fruit flavors like mango. I ordered taro milk tea today and the sweetness wasn't where I wanted to be, so they kindly made it the way I wanted. Each time the barista adjusted the sweetness, she wanted me to try it each time until I was happy. That type of attentiveness and servitude is praiseworthy. It is quite out of the way for my family to come here from sulphur springs but, we do not mind the drive for the quality and service.

I always get their brown sugar milk tea with boba!! Clean large space with wide selections of choices! They also sell different kinds of affordable disposable masks in the store. Come here for boba!

I got the brown sugar milk tea and it was really good! This place is cute on the inside but we were lucky to get seats it's so busy! Definitely worth trying!

Love their oolong tea and staff is always friendly! The vibes are immaculate and have a cool ambiance. It's also close to UTD and def recommend to students.

I love their honey milk tea! This place has great ambiance and super friendly. If you aren't satisfied with your drink they always remake it for yo

I was in the area and decided to try this place out, but I unfortunately did not like it. My go-to order is usually thai tea, so that's what I ordered here! For some reason it almost had a gritty/powder aftertaste. I asked for 70% sweet, and it was still too sweet. Maybe their other drinks are better!

Very nice environment! always wearing masks and asking customers to wear masks within store. Always ask to make sure the drink is made right so I know they really care about customer satisfaction. My go to Boba place !!! They also ask if you want to reduce the amount of sweetness in a drink , which I recommend for some drinks!

The drinks here are pretty good most of the time. There were two times when my drink was kind of watered down. I ordered it with regular ice, so I was surprised that I couldn't really taste the actual tea that much. But other than those two instances, all of my other visits were great. My top two drinks are the honey milk tea and jasmine milk tea. The honey milk tea is definitely on the sweeter side, but it's so delicious! I've tried other drinks, but I always go back to those two. The boba is always cooked perfectly, and I love how they use golden boba even though it tastes the same as regular boba lol Ever since quarantine started, they've been super busy, so I typically call in my order and do curbside pickup. One time was driving by and decided to pop in, and I ended up waiting 30 min for a drink. Overall, this is a solid pick for boba in Richardson! Friendly service and lots of options to choose from.

I come here waaaay too often lol! This ding tea is always consistent with their drinks and service. My go-to drinks are usually their grapefruit green tea w/ crystal boba or signature milk tea w/ golden boba and they always get it! If you come here often like me, they also have an option for you to enter your number in so you can collect points to receive a free drink. The staff always lets you know that if there's a problem with the drink that they will fix it which is super kind. The inside is cute, very much decorated so you can take your instagram pics. A lot of students also come to study here since It's near UTD. Love this place!

This place was good! I got the Aloe Vera Passionfruit Juice with boba and my brother got the Artichoke tea. My drink was good, but definitely on the sweeter side. However, I think the Artichoke tea was the better of the two. It's very refreshing and I was so tempted to drink it instead! Nonetheless, both drinks were good.

Great quality boba tea. I love that they have some experimental drinks and flavors. The current special is the Royal Artichoke Tea, which comes with grass jelly, rainbow jelly, basil seed, and longan, recommended at 50% sweetness. They're also known for their Monster Boba Latte Drink. Stop by if you're in the area!
