Is a small place with a nice variety of Ice creams. But I agree with prior revies that I would not do a special trip to just come here. But as I said on the title of the review is a little place to have Ice cream in China Town. It is small and unpretending. more

After reading about this place, I wanted to stop there while we were in Chinatown. On their website, they claim to have tons and tons of unique flavors. That's really not true.

After reading all the positive reviews and how this was voted #1 by so many surveys, I have to say that I was disappointed with the ice cream.

good ice-cream with interesting flavors, but the prices are becoming outrageous. unless you are a tourist from a country with a strong currency vs our weak $, save your money. there are so many good places in nyc that charge much less for a tastier treat. more
