Great homemade ice cream with lots of interesting ice cream choices. try things out, and stay away from vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Yes they have them and yes they are good but why not try…

There is nothing spectacular about this ice cream, despite the fact I see hordes of "foreigners" and tourists piling into this place. I've know this place for decades and I still don't understand why…

Gotta love a place where vanilla and Rocky Road are listed as "exotic" flavors, but avocado, durian, lychee, and black sesame (SOOOO GOOOOOOOD) are not. Those Asians...they'll eat anything.*

One flavor: Almond cookie ice cream! I was skeptical at first but for $3.25, I got a huge serving of this delicious ice cream on a cone, a quality investment for my taste buds.
