So, if I lived in Manhattan, I'd probably have to make a trek to this place every weekend. As it is now I wish I could visit NYC more so I can have their delicious ice cream. Mmm.. and not just ice cream, but sorbet as well. That Lychee sorbet is just amazing, so refreshing with the right amount of sweetness. I'm not normally a desserts person, but this place would make me one. Too bad the place is too small to have some chairs for sitting down and enjoying the treats.

Chinatown Ice Cream Factory has so many unique flavors. If you visit, don't get the strawberry or chocolate.. try something interesting and daring. The almond is insanely good, as is the pumpkin and lychee. Red bean! I really want some ice cream now. The price is the same as Haagen Dazs (spelling? I give up!) but the experience is so much more interesting.

I usually never get ice cream outside. I'm all for Turkey Hill. $2.50 half gallon, Path Mark. But when I do occassionally want ice cream on the spot, I come here because they have great flavors like red bean and lychee. Much more interesting than Haagen Dazs or Carvel. However, the cones here can be a bit on the pricey side for ice cream.

I grew up eating ice-cream from Chinatown Ice Cream Factory, so I don't think about the little shop much. That is, until there were rumors that their lease was up and the place was closing. This place is home to some of the most exotic flavors, such as almond cookie, lychee, red bean and taro (all of which are very good). Their prices are constantly rising (then again, whose prices aren't these days?), but once you've tasted their homemade ice-cream you're bound to be back for more.

Chinatown Ice Cream is one of those shops that is hard to find but worth the search. The lines are often very long on warm days but the ice cream is totally worth it. Don't bother trying to eat inside. The store is too small. They have the usual Chocolate/Strawberry/Vanilla staples as well as lychee and marshmallow and some other weird flavors I can't remember offhand. Next time you're in Chinatown stop by and have a cone.

Ever wondered what ginger ice cream, sesame seed ice cream or green tea ice cream might taste like? If you did, run to Chinatown Ice Cream Factory and get a taste. Don't waste your time on the "exotic" flavors like vanilla or chocolate. Tickle your palate with the more unusual flavors. You might just like it.

this ice cream store is way better than your ordinary ice cream store. their flavors are very unique ranging from red bean, green tea, to straberry cheesecake. it is such a great place to go to as you can make it a goal to try all of their flavors. they make their own ice cream, so it is fresh. my personal favorite is the peach. and they make awesome ice cream cakes with three flavors of ice cream. i bought the red bean, lychee, and mango flavored ice cream cake. and it was magnificent.

This is a great place to come for unique flavors. Best are the green tea and red bean flavors. Sweet but not overpowering. They have planty of flavors to choose from and they even sell ice cream cakes. I would recommend it to anyone with a sweet tooth. However, be warned it generally can get quite busy with lines out the door --- mostly because the shop is really tiny -- enough room for 1.5 average persons from the wall to the counter. That's the only negative remark I can make about the store but it's worth the wait.

I remember coming here as a little kid with my parents. This store has grown quite popular over the years and rightly so. Everyone from NYC knows about it. The ice cream is to die for!!!
I just had a my Thanksgiving dinner party and all my friends were requesting that I get a pumpkin pie ice cream cake for dessert.
My favorites are the lychee and the almond cookie.

Ever wonder how green tea or red bean ice cream tastes like? Well, Chinatown Ice Cream Factory has the exotic asian flavor for you to try. Situated in the heart of Chinatown between Mott and Bowery Street, Chinatown Ice Cream factory offer flavors that traditional American stores don't have. Although, the price is a little high, and they don't give you as much ice cream for the amount you pay for, this is the one place you must try at least once.
