Zen Butter is like nothing else. A must have. And Coconut Fudge, yes please
ZenFoodsterNovember 19, 2012I always get the Lychee sorbet here. The bits of lychee make it da bomb! ;9
Gonzalo GaitánNovember 8, 2014Don't even think about eat the seafood dumplings please! The rest was really good!
Black Sesame, Dan taat, lychee ice cream among many others!
Halstead PropertyDecember 9, 2011Try the black sesame ice cream or the almond cookie flavor, so unique and original tastes.
O KJuly 19, 2011Get an awesome scoop of black sesame on a cone and walk around Chinatown. Passers-by will covet. Trust.
Jennifer CooperAugust 28, 2010i grew up loving the red bean and lychee! if you only come here once, stay away from the ordinary flavors. there's a Hagaan Daz across the street for that!
David BerkowitzAugust 15, 2011This is a great ice cream place, and not particularly Chinatown-ish. I'm partial to the pineapple.

Ingrid HartmanAugust 8, 2013I know tons of people love it, but I thought almond cookie flavor was too sweet. Good, but not as creamy as it could be. Maybe I'll try lychee next time...

"Bon Appétit Highly Rec'd (6/2019): "The flavors—hojicha, sesame butter, black sesame, milk tea—are intense and not saccharine-sweet. The texture is unbelievably creamy, without a hint of ice crystal.""
