Came here for a drawing meetup event. nice of Ding Tea to host.Great service, although they're woefully understaffed with one guy serving everyone and one guy cooking everything... Can you guys hire one more person to help out?I had a boba iced oat mocha ($7.25 before tip) which was good albeit very expensive. The oat milk upcharge really should be reduced to $0.75, especially for a Regular size.Unlike the Carson Ding Tea, this one is actually pleasant to be in. Comfortable chairs, nice lighting, and a clean inviting venue.I'd say 4.5 stars, 5 if the prices were more reasonable. If I'm ever in Lomita again, I know where to stop for some overpriced coffee.

We've been visiting Ding Tea for years at this location and they have really set the bar for what we expect out of a boba experience now.First of all, the drinks are ALWAYS delicious. Always. I love the Thai tea. My son gets a variety of fruit teas and lemonade, most recently he has a dragonfruit lemonade that he really enjoyed. Our only complaint is that they do not have popping boba, which happens to be my son's favorite.Second, the food is amazing. That popcorn chicken? Oh man, it is delicious. We also like the tater tots, fries, and the potstickers. But that popcorn chicken is simply the best.Third, the workers! They're friendly, they have good energy, we like them!!Fourth, the restaurant is always clean. The bathroom are always clean too. They have am awesome little cotton candy vending machine that the kids think is awesome.We love Ding Tea Lomita!
Would give 10 stars if I could! The boba and drinks are great but the team is truly what makes this place special. They are all so nice and friendly. This is a hidden gem of a remote work spot too: great WiFi, parking, lots of tables and outlets! Thanks ding tea ❤️

I stopped by during a trip and was very satisfied. I had chicken tenders and dragon fruit juice, and the chicken tenders were bigger than they looked in the photo, and the spices were well-seasoned, making them very satisfying to eat. The dragon fruit juice was also delicious, with just the right amount of sourness and sweetness that went well with the chicken. I'm Japanese, but I think the quantity and taste were very good even for Japanese people.I visited on a Sunday afternoon, and the place was crowded with groups of people who appeared to be students. There were only a few seats available when I entered, so if you're coming around noon, it might be better to arrive early.I would like to visit again if I have a chance.

Great drinks, love coming here. My only complaint is the music is way too loud when I come here. Considering most of the clientele come here to study, you'd expect something lighter but instead I feel like I'm in an LA club on a Friday night. I couldn't even hear myself think.

I like Boba shops that also have food/snacks so thats a plus. The prices here are pretty solid as well compared to other places nearby. The people working here are always super friendly and there's a good atmosphere. Great place ?

Ding tea is a Taiwan Boba Franchise that serves really consistent boba. They have a large variety of delicious drinks, and sometimes ones that are uniquely tasty. I've tried the summer coconut matcha drink thinking it was refreshing but it was a sweet matcha with a dense creamy taste! Not a bad switch for matcha. My friend recommended the Mulberry Crystal Boba Iced Tea which has a taste between mixed berries and plum, it has a delightful fresh and crisp citrusy taste and reminds me of a mixed berry vitamin shot that I used to drink as a kid, it was a twist to what I usually drink (Teas, or guava green tea) and definitely a worthy recommendation. Overall, if you're indecisive on which boba place to go, Ding Tea always is the safest and probable best option!
You can always count on them to have high quality tea and delicious combos. I highly recommend

Go-to casual spot to study, I wish more cafes & coffee shops were open this late. Lots of roomy tables, outlets, etc. with plenty of drinks & food.I recommend the lychee yakult drink, and the popcorn chicken.

Ordered Taro Milk Tea. Cup has no title or brand on it, feel like something came out of dollar tree. Has a chemical taste and I had to throw away after my mom and I both tasted.I know what a good Taro milk taste like in SF and NY, this place is 1 star, period. I'm sorry.
