The staff was so friendly and accommodating to my large party! I ordered the small scoop, which includes two flavors, and chose the Melona and Guava. They paired perfectly together. The Melona tasted exactly like the bar, and the guava was creamy, fruity, and not overly icy. I also had the chance to try a few other flavors, which were all great. The makoli was a close second choice, and it tasted exactly like the drink itself. read more

I wanted to try their fun asian flavors that I've heard of, like injeolmi or misugaru, but they unfortunately didn't have many we came. They let you try up to 3 flavors before ordering. I got a small with the blueberries and cream and matcha with matcha kit kat. The small cup looks very small, but the scoops are very large. It was tasty ice cream, but not super memorable. I would love to come back when they have more flavors. read more

Sundaes Best - Blueberries and cream, matcha with matcha kit kat - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - New York, New York

We ordered: 1. Injeolmi mochi & Matcha w Matcha KitKat 2. Black sesame Oreo & Miso w Caramel Cone Walnuts 3. Ube & Kaya Coconut We tried each other's orders and they nailed the consistency and flavors. My order is # 1 and I liked the roasty injeolmi flavor and wished there was bigger chunks of KitKat in my rich matcha gelato. No issues with service. Decent standing space inside but mainly order to-go. Would come back again. read more

I came here after seeing a post about all the unique Korean flavors of ice cream they have here; unfortunately when we came on a Friday night around 8:30pm they were sold out of many of those unique flavors. We ended up getting 3 scoops: choco hazelnut, milk & cookies, and calamansi. I thought the calamansi was interesting and tasty in small bits but getting through a whole scoop of it was tough given how sour it was. The other flavors were somewhat boring and overall just a bit disappointing. read more

Every time we travel, my sister and I always want to try as many dessert and ice cream shops as we can. I've been wanting to try Sundaes Best ever since my favorite YouTuber recommended it, and it did not disappoint. This cute shop is warm and cozy and tucked away in KTown. They have so many different Asian inspired flavors ranging from banana milk to honey butter. I got the corn ice cream and blueberry yogurt and wow.. absolutely delicious. Blueberry yogurt had a very nice tang and was pretty creamy while still being icy, and the corn had a delicious sweet pop with actual bits of corn and the flavor was definitely corn without being too overpowering. Service was great. They were really quick with the samples and scooping the ice cream and were very generous with the scoops. If I ever come back to New York, I would visit this place super often. It's delicious, enough said read more

Loved the ice cream at Sundaes Best! I tried a handful of flavors, and all of them were amazing. I ended up getting a small cup of the coffee ice cream, which was noticeable great. It was busy, and I see why. Will be back for sure! read more

I think it's OK gelato for what it is. The lines can get really long. limit three samples per person. Not a many options for vegans. Only fruit flavors for vegan people like sorbets and some are super TART. Probably will not come back and go to a gelato place with more flavors. I would say if you're in the area, it's not a bad option, but I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Unique gelato shop conveniently located in NYC's K-Town. They serve various Asian-inspired flavors such as Dalgona Coffee, Matcha Kit Kat, and Hwachae, to name a few. They're very busy so everyone is limited to three samples. I got the smallest size (one flavor) with their Matcha Kit Kat flavor and it was delicious! Flavorful and chock full of Kit Kat pieces. The main downside is they're relatively expensive for the amount of gelato you get ($6.95 for a small) and some flavors are hit or miss. Definitely sample them before you commit. Worth dropping by if you're in the area. read more

Usually when we go into an ice cream store, it's like you find one or two good flavors and that's it. Here? Every. single. one. FIRE. It's so hard to choose which one to narrow down because they've mastered every single flavor. Coming from asian descent, it's really nice seeing a lot of fruit flavored ice creams/sorbets that actually match or come close to what the fruit tastes like. Definitely stop by, it's perfect on a hot day, but equally tasty on a cold day (which is when we stopped by). The staff there are super helpful, but there is a limit to 3 samples per patron. read more

Good ice cream but hours are inaccurate. I've tried going on multiple occasions based on the hours posted on their website and directly on their door and they've been closed. Please update your hours to be accurate! Would be a 5 star otherwise read more

It's a small little ice cream shop in Korea Town. They have a lot of unique flavors like thai ice tea, matcha KitKat, and white peach. We ordered two small cups which allows you to pick two flavors each. We chose black sesame Oreos and matcha with matcha KitKat for the first cup and the second was thai ice tea and biscoff. First the black sesame Oreos had very strong sesame flavor but there wasn't a lot of Oreos. The matcha with matcha KitKat was similar, very strong matcha flavor but not a lot of KitKat. The thai ice tea flavor was subtle. The Biscoff ice cream was the only one that had plenty of cookies. They were all creamy and wasn't too sweet. Service was good and the people helpful. read more

Stopped by in the hopes to get their jeju mandarin sorbet but sadly they didn't have it in stock. I sampled the new flavor, bell flower root (tasted very herbal forward and a sweet after note) and the calamansi (so very sour). I got a scoop of the calamansi which went against all sound thought because it was just very sour the whole time I ate it. Also, it looks like the amount that they scoop for you depends on who's working that day. Looking at other pictures with their full scoops and my same sized cup with like one and a half scoops costing the same price feels bad. I feel like the creamy flavors tend to be very sweet and the sorbet flavors are just the typical Asian fruit flavors. read more

Ate in 2023: Sundaes Best sells Asian-inspired gelato, I went with my friends two years ago and thought this place was pretty decent! The workers let us sample the flavors and I ended up getting their Thai tea and melona flavors. It also came with a rice cracker! Unfortunately, I thought the gelato was too sweet, the Thai tea flavor wasn't really authentic, and I honestly don't remember much about the melona flavor. The gelato melted pretty fast too since this was in July, so towards the end, it lowkey became gelato soup lol. read more

a new gelato spot in ktown with a ton of unique flavors! Three different sizes (small , medium, large) we got the small which is two flavors ($7.95) and we got pistachio as well as the mochi. Consistency was great and flavor was potent especially for the pistachio! Mochi flavor was a little disappointing as I couldn't really pin point what it tasted like. It's a small shop but the line moves fast. I was really intrigued by the other flavors they had and I would wanna come back to try them out. Not too many Asian inspired gelato spots in the city so give them a try! read more

This place has unique flavors. The service is good and they offer samples. When it comes to seating there are window booths but that's it. It is more of a grab and go. I enjoy the Asian sesame and lychee flavors. I would recommend sampling first. Big portions! read more

Trust taking the wrong bus to lead you to a place of edible delights. This is what happened to me last Sunday after the Jewish museum when I was on Fifth Avenue waiting for a bus. It dropped me on 32nd Street and as I looked around lo and behold an ice cream store was within my vision. Naturally I went in. Being in K Town with Korean flavors, I sampled two and took those. Miso and Blackberry Vanilla. While the two were flavorful, the miso took top billing. Sweet, salty and a touch of umami, I actually considered a pint. Then I thought of returning to have another cup with miso and another flavor. Logan helped me with samples and the cup. He was patient and kind. read more

Sundaes Best in Koreatown has some of the finest handcrafted Asian-inspired gelato and sorbet. They have so many unique flavors that it's hard to choose, but you can sample up to three before ordering. My favorite was the miso caramel cone with walnuts, a flavor I haven't seen anywhere else. Best of all, their menu is always changing, so there's always a reason to go back! read more

If Sundaes Best opened years ago maybe it would be the talk of the town, but with the plethora of Asian dessert choices in the city it's just another average dessert shop in a sea of dessert shops. Sundaes Best thrives off being conveniently located near Ktown and quick service. There are some seats inside but most people eat their ice cream outside or take it to go. I was excited to try the Kaya Coconut but was unfortunate to come when they didn't have any. Instead, I ordered the Thai Tea and Honey Butter while my partner got the Banana Milk and Ube. Before I ordered, I was able to sample the Milk Tea ice cream which had no taste of tea and tasted of just milk and sugar. The Thai Tea, on the other hand, was a good balance of tea, milk, and sugar. The Honey Butter was my favorite flavor with liquid swirls of honey and crunchy cookie pieces. My partner, who trusted the process a little too much didn't sample his ice cream before ordering and ended up with flavorless Ube and a somewhat artificial tasting Banana Milk ice cream. At least all the ice cream was nice and creamy. I think the experience at Sundaes Best is hit or miss depending on the flavors you get. Service is top notch though because they definitely don't skimp on the scoops so you'll get your money's worth in volume. I just wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

Food: I tried the chocolate hazelnut gelato here and it was excellent! It was creamy and perfectly smooth with a lovely hazelnut flavor. They have many different flavors, mostly Asian flavors including Thai iced tea, lychee, ube, and many more. You can sample the flavors, which I would recommend doing because some of them aren't the best. Service: The staff are really friendly and nice about letting you sample a different flavors. Ambiance: This is a very small shop with only four seats along the window. The ice cream shop shares a space with another yogurt drink and cake dessert spot. It's not meant to be a place you can hang out in for a long period of time. Overall, I would highly recommend this dessert spot! read more

Sundae's best is a great spot to spice up your ice cream palette! I loved the unique Korean treat inspired flavors many of which I haven't seen in other places. Inside is a cutesty aesthetic and a classic ice cream scoop bar order for takeout. I opted for the melona flavor (which tasted exactly like the asian childhood creamy classic melona bar) and the honey butter (which was sweet like honey, creamy, and had a salty crunch too it of mixed in chips). Definitely a spot worth checking out and a great sweet treat for the summer. Service was nice and quick! read more

Korean ice cream shop in K-Town. They have very different Korean-inspired flavors. The ambience is insta-worthy and the owners are very nice too. We tried corn-flavored gelato which was a little sweet but very light and tasty. The other flavor was dalgona coffee which had a nice kick. The owner was testing something new ice cream that had a toasted bun, ice cream, and mochi. I casually asked him what is this as he was clicking some pictures and he asked if I wanted to try. I said sure why not. It tasted yummy. Warm toasted bun with cold gelato perfect for winters. read more

Nice shop conveniently located midtown, which for me is more convenient to get to than the East village and Chinatown for Asian ice cream flavors. Large enough selection of Asian and non-Asian flavors to satisfy multiple palettes. I sampled a couple of flavors before having a cup of my go-to flavors Kaya (Pandan) coconut and Thai Tea. Very happy to enjoy this on a warm day after enjoying Korean BBQ. Staff is very nice and they were playing K-pop in the store which my friends and on were bopping to. read more

I hate to break the chain of good reviews but I was not impressed by the ice cream here. We love trying strange and exotic flavors so maybe that's the problem? Misugaru choco pearls- Ice cream didn't have a distinct flavor and the choco pearls were not impressive Nurungji- The rice puffs that they add on top were all stale and the ice cream didn't really have any flavor to it Mochi injeolmi- Probably my favorite out of all the flavors that we tried but the mochi wasn't as chewy as I had wanted it to be Calamansi- Very sour!!! And this is coming from someone who loves sour food I was hoping this was just a one-off and really wanted to come back to try some of the other flavors but the prices are ridiculous. $17+ for 4 scoops of ice cream!! Seating inside is limited and we had to stand while eating since there were inconsiderate customers inside who were hogging the seats and having lengthy conversations like this place is some sort of coffee shop. Like seriously just eat and gtfo so other people can sit! 2 stars mainly for the very kind and patient cashier. read more

So many fun asian flavors! I love gelato and have been wanting to try this place for a while. Black sesame is one of my all time favorite flavors so I knew I had to come here when I found out they had black sesame oreo. We sampled a few flavors, and I ended up getting a small with the black sesame oreo and injeolmi mochi. The gelato is super smooth, and the flavors are spot on! They give a really generous portion so the small is definitely enough. I'd highly recommend! read more
