Editorial Review for Chinatown Ice Cream Factory – by Paschal Fowlkes
In Short
At first glance the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory looks just like your typical parlor. Vanilla? Got it. Chocolate? Check. Rocky road? You know it. The not-immediately-apparent secret that sets it apart, however, is its variety of exotic, Asian-inspired flavors. Flavors like green tea, ginger, lychee, mango, almond cookie and taro make for rare, tasty summer treats.

Know Before You GoThere's no seating at this gem, but what better way to enjoy the sights of Chinatown than with green tea, in a cone?

I just got engaged and my fiancee got me a beautiful heart shaped cake from the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory to celebrate. He knows that my family always celebrates the holidays and important hallmarks in our lives with their cakes. It's only fitting that he get me a cake with my favorite flavors! The almond cookie is to die for~! He loves me and I love ice cream!
Pros: Best ice cream in the city if not the world
Cons: only one location

I was extremely disappointed with my cake order. I ordered a 13" green tea round cake. It tasted nothing like green tea ice cream, it cost $60 according to the ticket. Despite the fact that we specifically asked for a picture to be plastered on the cake when we ordered it, they decided (when we were picking up the cake) to charge $7 extra for the picture which is just an edible image they place on the cake... I didn't understand why they couldn't have just told us that from the beginning and write that on the ticket. Completely ridiculous
Pros: Wide variety of "exotic and not your everyday" flavors.
Cons: Wayy overpriced, crowded, bad service, cocky owners.
