Ding Tea Lakewood Reviews
The tea was super refreshing. I got the Thai Milk tea with black boba, egg pudding, and no sugar. It was the perfect amount of sweetness for me. My friend got the Signature Milk Tea with the honey boba pearls, and half sugar. We both agreed the boba was fresh and delicious. I am grateful for the amazing customer service here. There was a lot on the menu, and the guy at the counter did a good job guiding us through it.
We liked it very much! Cool assortment in choosing a drink, fast production and very pleasant staff. Inexpensive, tasty and high-quality ❤️
This new Boba Tea place is inside Sarasota Ichiban Restaurant. The milk tea was delicious. Strawberry with blueberry balls. Smooth and the right amount of sweetness. This is the real thing! Loved it. Owners were very nice.
I can't say enough good things about this place! The drinks are always delicious and refreshing, and the boba is consistently excellent. The staff is also incredibly kind and helpful - they really go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. I would definitely recommend stopping by this Dingtea if you're in the area!
Amazing place ! I got a jasmine green milk tea and wasn't sure which boba from popping to uses and i asked the man , he suggested strawberry & he was right. It matched & tasted amazing! This is third time ordering a milk tea from here. Very friendly place & nice. My new hotspot for tea’s 😊
Great spot for bubble tea. It looked like they had a nice sushi situation too. Def coming back for more boba before I head home. 😋
Loved it!!! The menu has an amazing array of options and Helena was so kind and helpful. I absolutely loved the taro slushy bubble tea. As a bubble tea lover and Sarasota local I’m so excited to have found this place!
It was good drinks, I enjoyed the visit. Nice and friendly service. I was impressed how fast they made the drinks.
Absolutely love that Ding Tea uses a dairy-free base for all of their milk teas. You can customize the level of sweetness/sugar in each drink so there’s something for everybody. The staff was very knowledgeable and took their time explaining the menu to help me find a drink I loved. Matcha milk tea with golden boba was a 10/10! Will definitely be back.
Delicious! Brought 2 young friends to test it out. The service was amazing they give you suggestions on what may want. Great staff, very nice. The vibe was super friendly.

Good, kiddo enjoyed her chocolate boba
I accidentally dropped my drink and the nice lady made me another. Thank you
came here with my aunt, who isn't a fan of boba. she has been back countless times since I took her. the owner was working and very helpful giving us suggestions on what to get. the service was fast and everyone was very friendly! not to mention how cool the place is lit and decorated! every time I've been there, the owner recognized me from the first time I visited because my aunt very clearly stated she wasn't a fan of boba. Wonderful place!
By far the best boba in Sarasota! So many options and everything we have tried has been very good. The employees are helpful and kind. We are here at least once a week now. Highly recommend!! My favorite is Taro milk tea with golden boba :)
We got the strawberry tea with regular boba. So good! We would definitely come again. (Also great service)

The signature milk tea is properly blended, still a strong tea while not overpowering with sweetness

Tried their Thai Tea Slush and it was very refreshing especially on a sunny afternoon. Ordered 25% sugar but still tasted rather sweet, not sure if no sugar would be better.

This place has really good bubble tea. We’ve always gotten good service. The one thing I don’t like and the reason I took a star off is because if you ask for a bit less ice, they actually charge you extra for that if you ask for no ice, they charge you even more. I’ve never seen a place do that before.

Worst tea I've ever spent money on and 8 whole dollars for a basic order. Barely any boba, and the things start coming apart when I get home. Wasn't worth the ride over or even half the money I spent on it. Don't waste your time with these artsy clowns and if you want a decent boba go to Yokoso Ramen instead.

I had my drink delivered and it wasn’t what I thought I was going to get. The pictures on the website showed something completely different. I wanted to try something different and was expecting to have Bobos (bubbles) in my drink and later found out you have to order it in your drink. I was not satisfied with my drink at all. It didn’t even taste like caramel. I won’t be ordering from this place again
Too bad I wanted some Boba 20 minutes before they closed..at 8:40 but the lights are off and people are hiding behind the counter…okay, if you’re closed at that time probably update your hours? Update: they did change their hours from close at 9 to 9:30 now.
Would not recommend to actual milk tea lovers. Let’s be real, it’s inside a sushi restaurant. Been to 40+ boba shops in the US, and this ranks among the bottom 5, especially when considering the service Took 20+ mins for two *simple milk teas* (no toppings nor flavorings) and both tasted nasty. The tea was clearly oversteeped and therefore left a very dry feeling on my tongue. The sugar levels are inconsistent and one drink tasted like milk… just milk… where was the tea?! Won’t be back.
