Sugar Grove — Restaurant in Garden Grove

This place has plenty of variety and best of all they're open until midnight on Friday and Saturdays! What more can you ask for?

There isn't much parking around the entrance, but there's a couple of parking spots around the corner from the building. Sometimes there is a bit of a line, but don't be intimidated because the line moves pretty quick. They have tons of milk tea options. I believe they have more than 10 options to choose from. They also have iced coffee and aloe vera drinks. The pricing is very reasonable compared to other locations and they also have stamp cards, so your 10th drink will be free. They do have a couple of topping options for your drinks such as the classics like Boba and egg pudding.

My favorite drinks so far are the lychee milk tea and vanilla milk tea with egg pudding. I've also tried the vanilla iced coffee which is good, but definitely on the stronger sign. Their aloe vera drinks are delicious and refreshing for a hot summer day. Their passion fruit and Taro milk tea are nice, but very sweet so I would definitely reduce the sweetness. Speaking of reducing the sweetness, luckily they give you control on how sweet and how much ice is...

We go to Somisomi a lot and we always noticed a long line coming from Ding Tea. We had to wait for our Taiyaki and there was no line at Ding Tea (for once) so we went in to have a look. We came out with some seriously delicious drinks!

The staff were helpful when we said we had no idea what we were doing. They told us to get one of the top 10 which was on a board near the register. So we went with the classic and the taro. Soooo yummy. We opted for no boba because we don't like it and we noticed on other occasions that not everyone gets it in their drink.

Now we're going to have to get Ding Tea and Somisomi when we go!

ps - those employees were super fast! The sign said to wait outside but when we turned to go out the door they said our drinks were...

I usually don't come into Ding Tea as it's not necessarily my first choice, but, the service here from just today was very hospitable. Although there was no one else in the store today, the two guys working today jumped up from the tables they were sitting at (both were working on their computers) to help me even though I hadn't made a decision on my order yet. Even when I told them that, the guys STILL stood at the counter instead of going back to their seats.

As for the drinks themselves, I ordered two large Hokkaido Oolong Milk Teas (one with sea cream) and the taste is pretty good. The one without sea cream seemed a little bitter though from what my sister said though.

Overall, I think this is the best Ding Teas I have...
