Amazing ice cream in china town with many flavors .. I tried mango, Oreo and Nutella with banana and they were all good. Doesnt take a lot to make and they are fast. There is a place to set and eat.Worth trying if youre in the area.

The ice cream was delicious and the owner was friendly. Ingredients are very fresh, which made the ice cream taste refreshing. I would definitely recommend to a friend. Additionally, they have a wide range of flavors (I got passion fruit which is not easy to find at other ice cream places). When I went, there was only one person working, so wait was a little long, but if you have time, I think its definitely worth the wait!

Loved this place! We ordered #11, strawberry banana and #13, taro. The staff was very friendly and one guy (possibly the owner or manager) offered us more toppings at no cost when we said the ice cream was delicious. They also recommended other places to try in China town.

Just wow!! We got the mango ice cream and it better than we expected! The mangos were perfectly ripe and sweet which paired so well with the ice cream!! 9/10, would definitely come back!!

Magical ice cream is a pretty cool spot in China town specializing in handmade frozen and rolled ice cream.

My granddaughter (11) told the owner, This is really good! Thats unusual! She qualified it to me later saying that there was so much fruit and stuff in it that once the liquid was gone she couldnt get to the boba (am I saying that right?). But, she said, dont get me wrong - it was great!! I think thats high praise, indeed.

The ice cream here truly is magical. The owner is a very nice man and his staff is always friendly and attentive. The variety of flavors ensure you can enjoy the ice cream here and always get something different. The location is in the heart of Chinatown, making it a great place to stop while experiencing the culture. Bottom line, drive out fo your way to get some ice cream here!

Beautiful creations. Looks busy, but moves fast! Very nice staff!

Review №13

Expensive experience. Worth the try once for unique ice cream. Very slow on a busy day as only one guy working who had to take orders, run cash register, and make the ice cream. All items hand made to order so it takes time.

Incredible dessert theater. Looks absolutely beautiful, but a little lacking in substance. Definitely worth the experience.

Review №21

A great, unique experience while visiting China Town! Watching how its made is very attention grabbing, and popular on social media if your into the ASMR posts! The icecream itself was also very good and felt that one bowl was more than enough to satisfy me.

Review №22

Amazing place. I ordered the rose fruit tea and it was heavenly and you literally can taste the real rose petals which you can never get in any Top fruit juice shops in US. It sucks that we pay same price in other high end shops just to get artificial flavored juices and shops like this aren’t even rated well.

Review №24

Good customer service (kind person) but we had issues getting my order correctly. I ordered a taro milk tea and it was confused for caramel milk tea so I mentioned that it was the wrong drink. They remade it and gave me some brown drink that did not taste like taro at all. At that point, I didn’t feel like complaining and just left. The shop has a nice ambiance and the ice cream looks tasty!

The iced Teas are very good here! The ingredients are fresh and they dont skimp on the fruits and fresh ingredients. They have a very small location in China Town, but even when they are busy they get the orders out quickly. My teenaged daughter was very happy with her Boba Tea. They had a decent selection of flavors and varies of Boba pearls. I didnt try the ice cream, but it was interesting to watch them make it.

They make the ice cream rolls on a cold slab, like you see on The Food Network. Fun presentation and delicious product. Go just to watch them make it, quite the show!

Review №43

It was super interesting watching them make it. It is pricey; be prepared to spend at least $10 on ice cream. Friendly staff, had a bit of a chat. There was no crowd on a chilly Saturday at 6 pm. I am a fan of rolled up ice cream, the presentation is just too cool. It just sucks that its way overpriced. I will probably come back once in a blue moon.

Review №51

Great taste, we had the taro, oreo and strawberries and bananas. They all taste super!! They were not able to give extra cups/plates, and the extra stuff is 60 cents but put like 1 marshmallow when they have plenty. Other that that it was great!!

Review №52

Ice cream was good. Saw a dude with glasses go to the bathroom and leave with his gloves on. Change your gloves instead of relying on black coloring to hide smears. That flavor isnt advertised or requested.

Review №53

We waited an hour for our order, when I went up to ask for our order they had forgotten. A bad first experience here.

Review №54

Rolled ice cream is just regular ice cream that tastes worse and is harder to eat. Basically, if you arent here to take a picture of it, you might have a bad time. Friendly staff and not much of a line at 9pm on a Sunday.

The ice cream is good but the SHOW is what we will return for! Super neat remix on a traditional treat!

Review №56

The ice cream looks pretty, but doesn’t taste great and is hard to eat. It’s very hard, and the flat rolled up nature of it makes it quite hard to eat, because it flakes apart as you try to dig into it with a spoon.

Muffin tops, turned upside down, scooped out, then with scoop of ice cream in it....... outrageously naughty, so eat as many as you can to get a great muffin top of ones own
