My first review still stands since it's only been a few months and I've been back a few more times. Each visit was great with no complaints. My kids love going here even though they aren't adventurous with flavors. BUT I finally tried their ice cream cake. You can order online if you want specific flavors and they usually have premade ones if you just walk in. I walked in and just ordered in person. It was a Just-Because-I-Want-It cake disguised as a belated birthday cake (which it was, but I got it because I wanted to try it). I got a 6" cake with taro and milk tea flavors inside and it came with two small cones of ice cream on top (I chose soursop and red bean for those). It is not what I expected. It is almost all ice cream with a very thin whipped cream type "frosting" on the outside - and sprinkles! - that made it look like a normal cake until you cut into it. No layer of actual flour-based cake inside. It's solid ice cream. Since it's perfectly sweet, it worked great! Also excellent for those who may have a wheat allergy (unless you get the cookie flavors) so now I'm considering one for my kid with food allergies (but not to milk). And that's the update to my review. Still a stellar place to get ice cream. read more

I am obsessed with this ice cream shop because: The flavors are amazing! (Black sesame, Thai iced tea, etc). The owner is soooo sweet It's next to some of my favorite Asian food spots so it's a great place to end a meal with friends or to have a date night The only thing I don't love is it's not a picturesque location on route one and minimal seating but that doesn't stop me from coming here! read more

I can't rave more about this place. This is one of our family's favorite ice cream spots in the area. The woman working there is incredibly accommodating and friendly. The ice cream quality is amazing and it's made special that their products don't upset any of our stomachs (some members are sensitive to dairy.) They have a 20 different flavors of ice cream with a good selection of Asian flavors such as black sesame, ube and durian. The black sesame is one of the best I've ever eaten there. It's creamy, flavorful, and, most importantly, not too sweet. They don't only have ice cream. They also make custom cakes with different flavors and varieties. The durian cake is a definitely a favorite for some of us. It's a delicious cake and you can really taste the durian. The sizes are a bit small but it's honestly the right amount so I don't over eat. The inside is a little small, but it's very clean and services quick so you can be in and out depending on what you order. The only issue with the area is that the parking lot is a little small and can be a little tricky to find a spot. Definitely check this place out! We'll definitely be back! read more

My sister got my niece's birthday cake from here (taro and black sesame) and I was hooked! I also wanted to go here, but didn't have the time or ended up getting boba instead. But I finally stopped in and walked out with a pint of black sesame ice cream ($11). The lady was nice and friendly and really knows her ice cream. They have other flavors like ube, red bean, vanilla, but I knew I had to get the black sesame. It's not too sweet (iykyk) and I eat a little bit when I'm craving ice cream. They prefer Zelle or cash when paying so try to have that with you to be safe. I'll stop by again! read more

Great service!!! Black sesame was delish!! Homemade ice cream by the owner! Not super sweet, which is a complete compliment from me! There are seating inside! read more

So many unique Asian flavors here! Recommend you carry cash, as you will save 3% from debit or credit card transactions. They also have Zelle if you don't carry cash on hand. Some unique flavors I saw include red bean, black sesame, taro, mung bean, and durian. There was only one lady serving the ice cream that day, but she was fast to get the line moving along! I tried the mung bean and it reminded me of my time in Beijing. Pretty authentic flavors and reasonably priced. ty for reading :^) read more

This die-hard fan was ecstatic to find them so close to my sister's house. It is even more convenient for us to visit this location than the BK one despite living in BK myself. My newfound most loved flavor is the coffee with cookies. I crave it all the time. Its too bad I cannot eat too much of it at the moment due to the caffein. The owners, again, are such wonderful and sweet people (just like their ice cream!) Highly recommended! read more

I had a hankering for something sweet and stumbled upon this ice cream shop as I was heading down Route 1 south. Little did I know it's been in the neighborhood for 3+ years and all that time I didn't even know it. The almond butter and cookies and cream (3C) flavors SLAP! I got one scoop of each on a waffle cone. Hubby got the pistachio on a cake cone (aka wafer cone). The wiener said she decided to use the term cake cone because there was too much confusion between wafer and waffle (figure this is due to different accents and whatnot). read more

Edison, NJ - if you're in Edison or in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, definitely drop by Sweet Dynasty for your ice cream fix! Not only is the owner Michelle super cool (her mum opened the original BK location), so is the ice cream - all homemade and with unconventional flavors such as taro, black sesame, lychee, red bean, various teas, and even durian! Along with the most popular classic favors. I seek out novel and adventurous flavors when it comes to ice cream, so am delighted to come across this shop! I forgot to take a photo of the ice cream before me and my kiddo devoured it, so here are just the flavors to drool over. read more

THIS IS A MUST HAVE IF YOU'RE TRAVELING THROUGH THE AREA!!! I consider myself somewhat of an ice cream snob and this is hands down the best ice cream I've ever had. They have such a diverse range of flavors from your traditional vanilla all the way to a delicious black sesame. My partner and I have ordered their ice cream cakes for large parties and our guests have always had such great things to say. The owner and her family are super nice friendly and always have such great combo recommendations. We can never pass it without stopping in! read more

Cute ice cream parlor in kam man plaza with asian inspired flavors! I got the ube scoop while my friend got the almond cookie flavor. Ube was a tad sweet for me but otherwise good. Also sampled the mung bean flavor which i found unique and the perfect amount of sweetness. The star of this shop is the lady who owns it though, she is super chatty and friendly and creates a very personable atmosphere. There's also a bunch of restaurants in the plaza so this is a perfect afternoon dinner stop! read more

Tucked inside the mini mall are these succulent artisanal homemade ice cream shop with flavors I've never seen before. From Yaro to Ube, mango, seasonal almonds coffee and the best strawberry I've ever had. Service was great (they do limit the amount of flavors to try) and there's a few bench's. Loved it and I can't wait to return read more

Shop owner was friendly and informative. Makes their own ice cream - Asian & non-Asian flavors. Limit to 2 samples so choose wisely. I sampled black sesame and lychee and both were full of flavor. The sweetest flavors are mango, lychee and strawberry. The shop is very casual and clean. Look forward to returning soon! read more

"my mom buys pints of these to take home" "The flavors here are so good" I love ice cream but I also love new flavors. Had a chance to stop in with some friends and tried a double scoop of Milk tea and black sesame. Wow, so good. Creamy and flavorful but not overpowering. Both complemented each other nicely so I def recommend trying both together. Had a bite of my friends chocolate cookies and cream too.. very good and I usually prefer vanilla over chocolate. Great spot, friendly staff! read more

Hidden gem of Edison. I had no idea this establishment was open for over 3 years. I make a special stop here when I'm in the neighborhood. Being lactose intolerant and all, the ice cream from Sweet Dynasty has no effect on me. No sure what it is but I'm not complaining. The durian flavor is my go to. It's not for everyone though. read more

Still consistent with their flavors and their scoops. Nothing stingy at this place and I hope it doesn't change. Yesterday we were so surprised that it was filled with about 20 people in line INSIDE But the line was moving and didn't deter us to get our ice cream fix. We got all our flavors again plus the mango and holy smokes- great rich flavor, tastes like tropical creamy mango and maybe mixed with some subtle tartness from a green mango. Still great service and still a generous scoop! read more

Sweet Dynasty is a new-ish and cozy ice cream spot in Edison, NJ. No crazy trends or gimmicks that will be unpopular in a year or two here, just normal, delicious ice cream! I can't help but compare the flavors to that of Chinatown Ice Cream Factory in New York. They have plenty of popular Asian-inspired flavors like matcha, milk tea, thai tea, lychee, red bean, taro and more! The owners are very friendly and are locals to Central Jersey area so it always feels good to support a local small business. My personal favorite was the lychee! You don't get many spots that serve lychee ice cream so this was a real nice surprise. Would love to see a little more on the menu in the future (like milk shakes and different flavors in soft serve) and hopefully they can open up multiple choices of ice cream in one cup. read more

So glad this ice cream spot opened up! I was so excited to try their black sesame and milk tea ice cream! Ambiance - small place - limited seating ( benches lined the interior) - plenty of natural light Service - friendly staff! - got to try multiple flavors before placing my final order - generous scoops of ice cream Food - 2 scoops on a cup ( black sesame and milk tea) - both I creams had a pleasant creamy texture. Black sesame came in strong with sesame flavor and was slightly sweet perfect for my taste. Milk tea had a good depth in tea flavor and tasted just like a classic milk tea! I'll definitely be back for more scoops or buy a few pints to take home! read more

We were driving down Route 1 looking for dessert and spotted this ice cream shop we haven't checked out yet. I searched it up here, of course, and viewed the business. To my surprise it was what I've been on a hunt for (locally) - Asian inspired ice cream! We walked in and were greeted right away with a smile! I wanted to taste some of the flavors but was told that they ran out of their tasting spoons. We continued to chat and asked when they opened. They've been in the location for about a year but been in business for 13 years originally located in Brooklyn. I continued to order the black sesame and Thai tea in a cup. My husband ordered the coffee in a waffle cone. The flavors are very prominent and delicious. The texture is nice and creamy with a nice bite to it , which is how I like my ice cream. Definitely excited to have found this place right off rt 1 in Edison, in the same lot at Kam Man Asian Food market. They're located in the corner a few stores down from Gong Cha. Can't wait to try out the other flavors! read more

Love this homemade ice cream parlor! The daughter runs this location and her mother has a location on 5th Avenue in Brooklyn Chinatown area. They have awesome flavors like Thai Iced Tea, Milk Tea, Black Sesame, Ube, Mango, Durian and much more all packed with incredible flavor. Service was incredibly prompt and super friendly. I've tried a lot of black sesame and there's is definitely the strongest tasting (in a good way). Their dole whip was orange, would love to try it when it cycles back to pineapple. read more

Finally, an amazing ice cream place in NJ that serves creamy and flavorful lychee, red ,bean, green tea, milk tea, taro, etc flavors. No more trekking all the way out to NY chinatown's ice cream factory! You can purchase a whole pint for $10 or buy by the scoops. 2 scoops is a little over $7 but they really generous and pack the ice cream into cup. This will be my new go to place for ice cream. The service is also very friendly and you have the option to try the flavors before deciding. There are a few chairs in there, and it will get pretty cramped in there come summer. But don't let this stop you from going! read more

tldr this local neighborhood spot serves uniquely "not too sweet" asian inspired creamy ice cream at a great price! growing up nearby i always wish this place would someday exist so please support :,) i've been coming since they opened - trying all asian flavors: hk milk tea, red bean, thai tea, ube, back sesame etc, my fav is usually the ube since it reminds me of magnolias ice cream. Note that the ice cream here is on the less sweet side and flavors are not as pronounced/muted but it's perfect for me. keep that in mind! the owner is a really sweet old canto lady and her fam who just loves making ice cream from scratch. every time i go, she's really generous with her serving and there's a few benches you can sit on but no tables. Please support this great gem!! Also note they have a fee for credit card use 3% above and 5% below $10 so cash is king. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 5/5 read more

Happy to have this icecream shop open in Edison. We used to get it at their original store in Brooklyn but now it's convinced for us to get their ice cream more often. Great flavors.

Enjoyed the taro and black sesame ice creams! It misses that last star because I felt it was a bit too sweet / could use more flavor, and there was a bit of iciness in the taro scoop, but it was nice and creamy otherwise. I'm super curious about their ice cream cakes, which look very reasonably priced! Service was pleasant, and there was a bit of a line, but not too bad. read more

Great tasting ice cream with excellent flavor. Very fresh. Excellent variety of unusual and more common flavors. Friendly personable staff. One of the best flavors is the almond cookie ice cream. Delicious! Highly recommend. read more

Very cute spot! A nice flowing line and the owner is very friendly and easy going. So welcoming. I had a mung bean ice cream and it was delicious. I love mung beans so it's perfection. I also had the black sesame one other time. I would say black sesame so far is the best. My husband got the Oreo and ube ones previously but I think black sesame takes the reign! read more

I love how they use Asian flavours in their ice cream. We tried their taro, Thai milk tea, and mango and everything was delicious and very creamy/milky. The flavours can be a little bit stronger and punchier but overall still pretty good . Can't wait to try their durian flavour! read more

I've had a wonderful experience every time I come here for my favorite dessert - Michelle and her mom offer warm and welcoming service, you can really tell how passionate they are about their craft, priding themselves not only in creating delicious and inventive flavors, but using top tier ingredients. They love to help their customers find the right flavor combinations for the perfect summer sweet fix, and the prices are so reasonable for a small business. I've had the strawberry and the orange and vanilla twist, both of which were amazing! They recently created a durian flavor, which I know is a deeply acquired taste, but it is my dad's favorite fruit. He tries it every time it's an option anywhere. When I saw that it could be made as an ice cream cake, I knew it was the perfect birthday gift for him. When I called to see if they would have a last minute cake available, Michelle not only remembered me from the last time I was here, but she had a durian cake that happened to be available and quickly got it ready that same evening, topping it with their signature extra scoops on cones, choosing black sesame and taro to compliment it. My dad became a little boy and had multiple slices of cake, saying it was the best durian ice cream he's ever had! Safe to say that Sweet Dynasty has loyal customers in our family, especially when it comes to durian birthday cake. read more
