I wanted some ice cream after a big meal in Chinatown, so there's only one place to go in Chinatown - Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. The gimic here is they serve ice cream with Asian flavors - Lychee, Green Tea, Durian, etc. Now the ice cream is good here, but nothing great. I am a bigger fan of gelato which has a super smooth texture and intense flavors due to the smaller proportion of fat (less eggs, no cream). With that being said, the ice cream here is still good and very fun due to the Asian flavors. My girlfriend and I had a cup of taro ice cream and a cup of the almond cookie ice cream. Flavors are great and definitely reminded of those ingredients. Lychee didn't taste that good for some reason - I made it a couple of months ago and mine came out more flavorful. Overall, I give the place a 75/100
Overall Restaurant Experience (75/100)
- Food 7.5/10 - Good flavors, but the texture could be better. Great variety though.
- Service N/A - Young kids that are serving the ice cream and they're very helpful.
- Atmosphere N/A - Ice cream shop that does get crowded with kids and adults
- Price 7/10 - I guess average price for NY ice cream - $3 a cup, still pricey to me.
