Elado de Durian!! Wow

This are one of my favorites place to have icecream. One scoop is like two. They have a bunch of flavors, from the regular ones ( chocolate, Oreo, vanilla...) to green tea, Taro, red bean, ginger.

Best Ice Cream in NYC: They serve all the original flavours like the lychee, pandan, and the now famous black sesame (which you need to try). The almond cookie or green tea are just as good! Leer más

You will find more than just your typical flavors here, so grab something out of the ordinary! Must try: taro, pandan, black sesame. This is a single scoop & I asked to split into 2 different flavors.
Kyle ByeJulio 12, 2016
A small is supposed to be "one scoop" but they'll let you mix 2 flavors. Make sure one of those flavors is pandan. Also, don't forget to check in on Swarm for a free topping!
Alex RobertsonEnero 12, 2017
certainly it's expensive, but the almond cookie flavor is to die for--and I love the wry trick of naming your average vanilla/chocolate-type flavors "exotics". friendly staff too!
Pejman DavariMarzo 27, 2023
Delicious ice cream. I tried Mango. And my wife try pumpkins!! A lot of choice. You can try taste before ordering. The Price was 7.45 for one scope which can be reasonable in New York city.

The pistachio flavor is divine and perfectly balanced. Frankly, most of their flavors are delicious and creamy. You can't go wrong with any of them. Service is fast and the wait time on line is short.

If you want to try different kinds you are at the appropriate place. This factory offers different and unusual flavours and ice cream is really great.
Jole PAgosto 18, 2019
That is some PRICEY ICE CREAM (Like $6 for a small w 2 flavors) but worth at least visiting once as it is admittedly very delicious
Fawziah QadirOctubre 12, 2013
The scaffolding and tiny entrance might cause you to miss this gem! The ice cream is all handmade on the premise! I had the almond cookie ice cream and it blew my mind! But almost $11 for two cones 😖

Very seldom can you declare that you can't go wrong with whatever you order, their ice cream is an exception. We loved the Zen Butter, toasted sesame seeds & peanut butter embodies a true state of zen
MarcelAgosto 17, 2013
One of NY's finest ice cream shops - and definitely the one with the most extraordinary flavors. Sureshots are: Chocolate Chip, Eggcustard and Almond Cookie. For the fun of it, try the Maple Bacon ice
BuzzFeedAbril 23, 2014
This long-time neighborhood establishment specializes in delicious Chinese-inflected scoops like Zen Butter (peanut butter with sesame seeds), almond cookie, lychee, red bean and black sesame.
Tricia DietzOctubre 31, 2014
Best ice cream in New York! flavors you dont get everyday.. My favorite is greentea but around fall the pumpkin pie is to die for; zen butter and ginger are great to try too.
Melissa NanquilSeptiembre 29, 2017
Many flavors to choose from and they're given in huge portions! The ice cream itself is very creamy and great to share with others if you can't eat it all yourself!
Ben MackeySeptiembre 24, 2014
The coconut fudge ice cream is amazing. You might think you only want one scoop but you will be disappointed if you don't go a double.
Linda ChowJulio 2, 2015
Exotic flavors here you won't find anywhere else. Get the red bean, green tea, black sesame, or almond cookie! Lychee sorbet is great as well. They also do ice cream cakes.
Justin OrdovezaNoviembre 15, 2014
This place to me is so magical. Eating ice cream and walking in Chinatown is a great experience. Get the black sesame it's do rich and the flavor is so intense.
Vince WongJunio 23, 2013
Fear not the crowded mobs outside this Chinatown fixture, the service is quick and friendly. My go-to on a sweltering day is their heaping double-scoop of lychee and ginger ice cream. Get it!
Carol M LewAgosto 10, 2016
Opt for the cup to avoid a sopping, dripping mess on hot days. TOCICS' cone design has not been updated, so even with 2-3 layers of napkins dripping occurs from the top edges and the tip of the cone.
Alexa Mae AsperinMayo 5, 2012
You won't regret trying the black sesame ice cream! For $4, you get a taste of rich, creamy sweetness that takes a spin w/ black sesame seeds & flavor that both complement each other well! Must have! Leer más
Lucky BimolaksonoAgosto 5, 2016
Ice cream! Lychee is a favourite but they also have maple bacon ice cream if you feel adventurous!
Luke KingmaMayo 28, 2013
If it's a flavor you've tried outside of Chinatown, you're not doing it right. Black Sesame ice cream, on the other hand, is worth the risk. Add some Jeremy Lin sprinkles and support the boys uptown.
Jack OsborneEnero 26, 2014
If the shops not busy and you're struggling to make up your mind, they might let you sample a few of their different flavours. Here's the egg custard.
RisaFebrero 7, 2015
Can't go wrong with: Pandan (Malaysian herb), Zen Butter (toasted sesame + peanut butter), and/or Black Sesame.
Dan LamMarzo 16, 2013
Flavors I highly recommend are the Lychee, Red Bean, Pistachio and Green Tea. Get them on sugar cones. Well worth it. Also, tip your server!

If you're feeling guilty, Split your small into two half scoops so you can still have Pandan AND Taro AND tell yourself that you made healthy decisions today
Alyssa B.Febrero 14, 2022
The Small Size lets you have “half and half” of two flavors. Taro (not ube) and cookies and cream were both good 6/10, although it could use more cookies! I’m curious to try the other flavors.
Donna VuongDiciembre 29, 2014
Try the Asian ice creams. Personal favs are red bean, lychee, pistachio. Though u can do a sampling of all of them so long as they aren't busy
Monica ZarateAgosto 31, 2014
The ice cream here is to die for! I tried mango papaya and ginger combined and it was absolutely heavenly. Great portions, great prices!
Chris LAbril 17, 2014
Sesame Seed is the ice cream flavor you never knew you needed. Soy Sauce flavor is sometimes available here, too — it tastes surprisingly like salted caramel.

There's nowhere to sit, so get your order of pistachio, black sesame, or fortune cookie ice cream to go.

Swing by this ice cream shop for more than just plain ol' chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. Grab a scoop of zen butter, black sesame, almond cookie, or lychee for a change.

PANDAN ICE CREAM. Need I say more? If you arrive, devastated and heartbroken like me when there is no pandan ice cream, you can get the almond cookie or zen butter. Those are pretty good.
AlaraEnero 14, 2017
They have the weirdest flavors, most I've never even heard of. They make you try whatever you like if you are in the mood for exploring new tastes.
The Corcoran GroupMayo 27, 2011
End a gluttonous Chinatown dinner with a fantastic assortment of freshly made ice cream – the flavors change, but we like the Blueberry Cheesecake or the Wasabi.
Jason VinesDiciembre 8, 2014
Crowded, small, and a little pricey. However, it's absolutely delicious. A must go to place in Chinatown. Personal favorite is sriracha ice cream.
CompassAbril 24, 2014
As an unofficial Chinatown landmark, the ice cream shop offers classic flavors in addition to Asian ones like durian, red bean, lychee, and taro.
Len B.Noviembre 18, 2015
I love ice cream, but it's hard to find a good one in NY. This is one of the best ones I've had in the city :)
Jeffrey GlueckDiciembre 4, 2021
Try the durian (smells bad tastes great). But black sesame the power move.
Foxxy BSeptiembre 10, 2017
Cash only. Not mind blowing, but as others mention you go for the flavors. Green tea Oreo is fun! "One scoop" is $5, but in reality you get two.
Michelle WongJunio 8, 2012
Get a one scoop cup, and ask for half scoops of two flavors! Love it. Plus, the Green Tea, Red Bean and Black Sesame ice cream flavors are AWESOME.
KarenAgosto 10, 2018
Authentic Asian flavors infused into ice cream. Red bean, lychee, mango, etc. Must have if you're a visitor.
