Long wait cause only one worker doing everything alone 😥. But amazing choices of flavors and tastes great
The lychee and dragon fruit ice cream scoops are tasty! I need to come back and get their ice cream!
Very unique. Morgan got black sesame. Rae got green tea. I got rose lychee (they were out of regular). If you love Asian flavors, worth the stop. Was irritated that we ordered 1 scoop but got 3 and were charged for 2. Would go back to try other flavors.
They were out of most flavors and honestly the flavors are not great… we tried the lychee one, and it was creamy and sweet with chunks. The worst part of the experience was the guy who was working there: he was so annoyed at the fact that we wanted to try a flavor. I literally just asked if we can try a flavor and he sounded so annoyed. Buy the ice cream and leave…or just go to a different ice cream store
Clean restaurant super friendly staff and awesome presentation of food. I felt the care, rarely experienced in most other Korean places nearby that focused so much on table turnover in a cramped space
Will come again
I LOVE THIS STORE!! Bro.. where do I even start. I love the lychee rose and chili chocolate flavors it’s very unique and suitable to my tastebuds. The workers are very friendly and welcoming🤙This girl who’s name starts with J and ends with T was so.so.kind.
Some of the best ice cream
Bad experience.
The place is dirty (see pictures), bought 2 cones with 2 scoops for 25$+, had to throw one of them away caise it tasted awful. All 4 flavors we tried tasted very chemical like industrial candy flavors, and overly sweet. Never again.
Decided to leave without purchasing anything because the guy who was working that night was extremely rude (8/6/2026). It was our first time and we wanted to try some flavors. He told us we can only try two AFTER we had already tried two. If that was the rule he should have said that before we chose what flavors we wanted. I believe he told us that because he no longer wanted to help us because he then yelled out “does anyone know what they want?”, and moved on to the next group who came in after us. (& now that I am reading other people’s reviews that is NOT the case! Unacceptable!) For $9 a scoop I just want to be confident that I actually like the ice cream I’ll be purchasing. One girl did give us a warm welcome when we came in & the other girl working thought it was a good time to be wiping down all of the ice cream stalls even though like 5 people came in after my friend & I. I’m so so disappointed because I really wanted to try it. But, I will never willing give my hard earned money to a place that treats customers poorly.
It’s worth a try. Egg custard and other exotic flavors you will not find anywhere else

Did not knew about this gem in Chinatown!!! I enjoyed so much their ice cream and would highly recommend getting dessert here. I got the Ube Ice Cream and wow it was my favorite flavor. Service was good and quick
I love this place. Hope they never close. There was 1 in flushing but it shut down. I was so sad. Now only 1 in Chinatown. So If u ever in Chinatown go try it.
Place is pretty busy, has many options and some unique flavors. My friend liked the limited time chilli flakes chocolate flavor and I enjoyed the buko pandan flavor. Single scoop $9 is little expensive though
I always see the line every year and decided to give it a try this year since I was waiting Nextdoor.
The flavor selections are wide and the service is pleasant.
The price of the other hand is a bit much, we paid $22 for 3 scoops of ice cream.
We got the lychee, pandan and ube which all had the respective colors but the flavors were faint.
The line was long but it moved quick.
On the other hand, the ice cream was tasty despite not having the strong flavors. It was smooth and held together well in the heat.
So many flavors truly is some of the best ice cream I've ever had!!!
