Ding Tea West Covina — Restaurant in Walnut

It was a great experience, and the food was good. However, as someone who works in the food industry, it's frustrating to see a coworker slacking off. While everyone else was working hard, I noticed one of their colleagues, Georgie?? I believe her name was she was spending a lot of time on her phone. And honestly, this isn't the first time I've walked in and seen her on her phone This not only affects the team's productivity but also reflects poorly on the store. I understand that we sometimes need to use phones at work, but when it gets busy, we should put them down. Actually, we should put them down as soon as a customer walks in. There should be a limit to how much we use our phones at work. It's unfair for hardworking people to get paid the same as someone who's just sitting there on their phone while others are working hard Was meaning to post this the day I saw her the last time but had forgot and...

Parking was easy, slightly difficult to find, but the Subway is a great landmark. There is a minimum for credit card uses ($5 or something). Ding Tea is a rapidly growing chain restaurant, but the stamp card is location specific, so forget using the stamp card at other locations. Otherwise an above average milk tea spot, like Twinkle Brown Sugar/Ozero, Happy Lemon, and Wushiland.

The first thing that grabbed my eye when I walked in was a couple sitting at the corner struggling to beat the boba challenge. The guy was beat, coughing and slouched.

Otherwise I enjoyed the oolong milk tea, large, less sweet, no ice. At 50% sweet it was bitter like a tea, at full sweet it was too syrupy. Goldilocks...

So I've been going here for years. This place has cute little rewards cards where they stamp and every 10 stamps gets you a free drink. But the free drink is only the small size and no toppings. I've cashed out many of them over the years, as I started going here when it first opened. The drinks are very tasty, the toppings are usually fresh, theres so many flavors/options, and the staff is really nice. Unfortunately times have changed and the prices are much higher now. I find it really difficult to keep coming back when a large matcha milk tea with golden boba is nearly 7 dollars. I like this place, but unfortunately I won't be coming...
