Before coming here, I had no idea that such an array of ice cream flavors even existed! China town isn't exactly famous for its ice cream, but after being intensely nagged bout it...

Worst

If, just like me, you can't get enough of the traditional japanese green tea ice cream, DON'T go to this much raved about Chinatown spot to get it. Despite the reviews from other ...

Great Ice Cream! 11/14/2002

My husband and I both love the unique flavors offered. Lychee, Red Bean, and Pineapple are among our favorites. Green Tea, however, is very mild in flavor - so if you are looking for the more stronger flavored version often found at Japanese restaurants, you won't like this one. But overall, the quality is great and the staff is friendly. Pros: Unique flavors more

Fantastic ice cream! 10/26/2002

TRY IT & REMEMBER IT!!! 8/23/2002

If you want yummy FRESH & NATURAL ice cream, with interesting flavors such as LICHEE & TARO, it is worth to pay a visit to this tiny store located in the heart of Chinatown. The taste is DIFFERENT! Pros: Delicious, Natural, Inexpensive Cons: Location more

Authentic Fruit Sorbets 8/13/2002

Real smashed up lychee, mango, longan tropical fruits go into the goods. Their classic chocolate series is also super-smooth and tasty. Gotta love their 70's retro t-shirt... Look for their store banner sporting the same logo of a greedy ice-cream monster...er, Chinese dragon? (Standing room only...) Pros: inexpensive, authentic, unique more

Favors thats melts in yoour heart 8/11/2002

Why go to Hagen Daas... 8/5/2002

when you can come here. Only half a block apart, my choice is always the Factory. There are the yummy tasting regulars like vanilla, chocolate and mint chocolate chip, but they also offer amazingly cool ones, like green tea, lychee and pineapple. The kids that work there are always friendly and attentive. Oh, and you can always ask for a taste in case you're not sure you would dig a whole cup of red bean ice cream. Grab a cup and go pick up some souvenirs on the next block. Pros: Good ice cream, Unusual flavors, Cool kitschy t-shirts Cons: No seating area, Tiny store more

Best in Town 8/5/2002

The unusual flavors are the best here, the let you sample as much as you want. If it weren't all the way in Chinatown, I would take pints home! more

After dim sum, then what? 7/20/2002

what can you say but, it's good. eat it in the street so you can let it melt on toyour hands and then drop it on the street more

Delicious 7/12/2002

Rich, deep flavors. My particular favorite is the ginger, but others like the green tea. For good chowing, have some dumplings at Dumpling House on Eldridge St., then pop on over here for dessert. It isn't healthy, it isn't light, but the flavors are intense and good. more

Jammin Ice Cream 6/21/2002

If you're looking for a place to please your taste buds and gratifiy your burning desire for dessert, this tiny place in the middle of Chinatown will tame that flame. All the flavors are great. The chinese fruit flavors are unique and well worth a try. Hey, where else are you going to find homemade lychee and green tea ice cream? more
