"Stopped by on a Friday evening. It wasn’t too busy. When you walk in you’ll notice that it’s clean and has a relaxing atmosphere. The employees were welcoming and nice. Boba was cooked perfectly and drinks were made exactly how we ordered them.We ordered the aloe Vera peach juice with boba,Monster latte with boba and a honey milk tea. All of the drinks were great,I’d definitely recommend this place."

"Not sure why that is less tea than the other cup. Maybe just forgot to fill it in full, or saving cost, running business is hard and it is understandable. Other boba tea shop will fill in full in any other circumstances, hope you can do the same. By the way, can anyone tell me if one of this is mocha? I ordered mocha but doesn’t taste or look like one, should be more green right?"

"One of the many milk tea options on this block. There are also a couple of coffee drinks. There is some seating and wifi. There are two tablets to order from. Parking is all street parking, and relatively close to a bus line and link station."

"We stopped by on a Friday night so the place had a pretty good size line of people trying to order. The restaurant itself had a lot of open seating in the back, but the line was slow to get through. The prices are pretty consistent with milk teas and boba, but this place has golden boba and crystal boba. We tried the crystal boba on a friend’s recommendation and liked it. The crystal boba is supposedly made from seared and is healthier for you, but we also liked the texture and taste. It’s less chewy and dense than traditional boba. We also tried the signature milk tea, which was fine."

"I rather give this place a ZERO STAR - Here is what happened today - My friends and I have been coming to Ding Tea on the Ave for years as our go-to spot to relax after lunch. Today, though, was a complete letdown. We were casually browsing the menu and chatting when the owner, Kang Han ( I don't know the exact spelling but he is indeed the owner of Ding Tea on on the Ave), came over and demanded we order immediately or leave. His tone was rude and condescending, and the whole interaction felt aggressive and completely uncalled for. Believe me, I had been going to the Ave for over 20+ years. I went to school (UW) here and never been treated ever by any business like this on the AVE. We told him we were regulars—one of us has even tipped 25% in the past—but he scoffed and said he’s always at the store and doesn’t recognize us. Then, in a passive-aggressive move, he pointed at a sign saying “we have the right to refuse service to anyone,” which felt like a slap in the face. This kind of behavior from an owner is baffling. It’s as if he's actively trying to drive customers away. Maybe Seattle got to him—or maybe he genuinely doesn’t care about the business anymore. Either way, we won’t be coming back, and if you value being treated with basic respect, you might want to think twice before going yourself. I have also been to a numerous number of boba tea places and there is nothing special about this place. Good riddance."
