Ding Tea - Fort Shafter

Randomly closed for the day without updating their hours

I ventured into Ding Tea for the first time ever, and I was not disappointed.[Parking]I believe they offer up to 25 or 30 min free validation in their lot. I walked, so I 'm not 100% certain--but there is also street parking nearby.[Ambiance]There is construction nearby because Kaka 'ako is always working on some new project. But the location is nice! The place itself is clean and inviting. Lots of seating. Free WiFi for guests. Not sure if they have a restroom, but seems like a good place to catch up with friends, read, study, do work, etc. Not too loud. Not too busy.[Boba]I ordered a regular size signature milk tea with golden boba at 75% sweetness. It was a solid milk tea. Not too sweet. Boba was good texture wise. I wish there was more of a prominent tea flavor to hook my in, but this was definitely one of the better milk teas I 've tried. I tend to be picky with my boba. Standard pricing. A little less than $7. Not cheap but but expensive either.[Service]The two employees that were working were exceptionally nice. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a welcome in and smile. They were efficient and sweet. Customer service at its best.Overall, a solid boba place. I wanna come back and try a fruit offering and banh mi!

Ding Tea is a cute boba shop in Kaka 'ako near Mother Waldron Park. If you are in the area and feeling thirsty, Ding Tea, is a perfect place to check out and cool down. They have parking in the building structure or street parking in front. They offer fresh teas, milk teas, lattes, and banh mi 's. They also sell the local candy 'nom noms '. They have a few tables and chairs inside where you can enjoy your drinks and banh mi 's, and chill on the wifi. My favorite drink from Ding is their jasmine MT or peach MT with added golden boba and grass jelly. I like this boba shop because they use non-dairy creamer, and they always make my drinks good, and the taste is consistent each time. The workers are always nice too and they have a points system.

Order a drinks and sandwich there. It one of the best sandwich I ever had.

Yum! I love their signature boba tea. I found the tea perfectly brewed and with the right amount of milk. The boba was nice and chewy but not hard. They have nice seating areas. Music is not too loud where you can't have a conversation. Service was good and drinks came out quick.Parking can be a pain in Kaka'ako. But they have a note saying you get 20 min free parking in the parking garage next door.
