Ding Tea

Tried out four drinks from Ding Tea, here’s the breakdown from left to right in the photo: 1. Passion Fruit Juice with Lychee Popping Boba The most refreshing of the bunch. Tangy and sweet without tasting artificial. The lychee popping boba added a fun texture, but it lacked the juicy flavor you’d get from spots like Gong Cha or Tiger Sugar. Still a pleasant option if you want something light and tropical. 2. Lychee Green Tea with Lychee Popping Boba The green tea base was too strong and bitter, overpowering the lychee. The popping boba again lacked flavor. Not terrible, but not great if you’re chasing that true lychee profile. 3. Lychee Green Tea with Boba Same issue with the overpowering green tea, but the regular boba helped balance it out. Ding Tea’s tapioca pearls are chewy, subtly sweet, and some of the best I’ve had. Only Pearls Tea comes close in texture and quality. 4. Thai Milk Tea with Boba Rich, smooth, and just sweet enough. Not the best Thai tea I’ve tried, but definitely solid. Paired with their standout boba, it was the most well-rounded drink of the group. Overall: Ding Tea absolutely delivers on tapioca quality. Their boba is top-tier. The fruit-based drinks and popping boba, though, could use more flavor. Skip the lychee green tea if you want a strong lychee taste. The shop interior could use more attention, with visible stains on the counters and AC issues that affect comfort.

This is a great place to start drinking boba tea as they have lots of flavors to choose from. The workers there are very nice and will help you picking a flavor. The worker Mia there was very friendly and she was able to help us on trying these drinks. We 100% recommend this place and me and my son will come back 🙂

Hope this company enjoys losing a $30 a week customer… JULIANIA was working told me I couldn’t get the drink I have been getting for the past 10 months! Kiwi/strawberry black tea w boba bc she couldn’t mix… I told her I get this drink at least 8 times a month…. and have had multiple employees make it for me. YOU SIMPLY DO ONE OF EACH INSTEAD OF THREE FOR ONE FLAVOR YOU DO 1.5 for strawberry 1.5 for kiwi… she was looking and acting as if I had a third eye questioning me on who were the ppl that made it what did they look like…. While customers were in the store straight up arguing w me like I was lying… I have a two year old and 9 month old w me and drove from Venice for my drink. If this isn’t made right I will be boycotting and well as family friends I know absolutely ridiculous she refused to make the drink and then wouldn’t give me a managers number so I’m going to have a few other ppl leave their honest reviews after this if it isn’t made right. I’ve never even seen this employee and she’s acting like idk what I’m talking about I don’t think she does and is on some ego power trip.

I order from this place once a week, on my half days at work as a little treat to myself to celebrate getting through the rough week I’ve had. The first couple times I ordered, it was absolutely perfect. I love these corndogs and always look forward to them. However, the last couple times I have ordered these, they have been disgusting. The quality is back and fourth sometimes, so I stopped purchasing them for a couple weeks. I decided to give it a try today, and this is what I received.. they are not fully cooked and the batter they used is runny, smells funny, and looks funnier. It feels like clay. It’s usually white inside, but it looks brown and muddy this time. I can’t even finish what I ordered. Sadly this will be my last time ordering from this location. :’(

It was amazing! I went with my mom for the first time and the food was great! She ordered the classic crispy dog with a Thai milk tea and i had the crunchy spicy ramen dog and a Jasmine Green Milk Tea with Black Pearl Boba.

Very good experience. Everything was delicious! One of my top favorites boba Places in the north Port/Port Charlotte area. Staff very friendly. I wish I got the name of the girl who made the food and boba. She was so kind! Served everything with a smile! Definitely will come back!

We got the strawberry and blueberry milk tea with a potato dog. Highly recommend this spot! Super cute inside, good service, and so many flavor selections! There is also a goodwill in the plaza; thrifting with boba is a great mix! Will be returning
