Sam's Fried Ice Cream offers a unique dessert experience in NYC's Chinatown, although it can be a bit pricey for what you get. The fried ice cream is a crowd favorite, especially the cookies and cream with fruity pebbles and condensed milk. The small space allows customers to watch the ice cream being made right in front of them, adding to the fun atmosphere. The process begins with selecting a flavor like green tea or vanilla, followed by choosing a crust such as bread crumbs or Oreo, and finishing with toppings like chocolate syrup. The fried ice creams are made to order, ensuring freshness. While the quality may have slightly decreased over the years, the variety of flavors and friendly staff make it a worthwhile visit. Popular options include fried Oreos and banana pudding ice cream with an Oreo crust, perfect for a warm day or for families with kid-friendly choices like the blue cookie monster ice cream. Many customers find the fried ice cream delicious and enjoy the crispy outside with a soft, icy inside, making it a fun and tasty treat.
