Absolutely heavenly on a 90° day! The portions are very generous, and the flavors are incredible. Even the small size lets you pick two flavors for under $10, which is a great deal. The pistachio is a must-try, easily one of the best I've had in a very long time. Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. They also have plenty of seating, making it a perfect spot to cool off and escape the summer heat. Definitely worth a stop if you're nearby. read more

No complaint about the gelato which is outstanding. I live 10 mn from this place and I've been there many, many times. I was there today with my son and discovered that the Nutella flavor was not offered anymore. I stopped 3 or 4 times before and was told that it was being made? But today, was told it was not offered anymore which disappointed me. I took the hazelnut/ nuts one which was very good. I was SHOCKEDDDDDD by the new prices! Over $12.00 (old price 9.90) for the big size and $10.00 (old price 8.25) for medium (almost $25.00 w tax for 2 ice creams is robbery!) A big jump from old prices. I will never visit the store again, nor will my friends. I know, owner will say it's the rent, bla-bla-bla, but this is insane. I know the tourists will pay but you've lost me and I came a lotttttt! read more

RATING: 3.5/5 | Good amount of customers, as it's located in the busy Hells Kitchen neighborhood. I didn't care too much for the gelato here. It more so resembled ice cream to me vs stiffer, denser gelato texture. I liked that they allowed customers to try as many flavors as we wanted. I ended up getting their Medium cup, which came with 3 diff flavors. I chose Raspberry, Mango, and Pina Colada, which meshed well. Staff here weren't super friendly and a bit off putting, which tainted my experience a bit. I personally would opt for a diff spot for dessert, taking everything into consideration. However, the location is convenient. read more

Needed a little treat today and this was THE option I craved. Lots of options with free samples inside with more free samples to try before you make your final decision on an ice cream. Got the Ferrero chocolate and orange flavors in one small cup~ this was ok, but the consistency felt more like a regular milk ice cream versus a gelato. I had much better elsewhere but it was an ok choice. Inside had plenty of tables and seats with cool air~ read more

I had just purchased some birthday cards and I knew I had to get them in the mail before the post office closed...but where to sit down and write out six cards! And then, walking towards the post office I spotted Gelatoville. I recalled reading about it awhile ago and had heard good things so I stopped for a small treat and a place to sit and I'm very happy I did. First, I have to say the service was over the top great. The young lady working I think wanted me to taste everything. She made sure I had a taste of her favorite, which was a white Rafaello (maybe I spelled that wrong) which was amazing. I got a small milk chocolate gelato, which was actually a very rich dark chocolate that satisfied my chocolate cravings for a month. My husband had pistachio cream and tiramisu and they were also both excellent. I regret that this is so close to our apartment because I feel we may be going there more. No shade to the Venchi across the street from where I live, but Gelatoville is my primo gelato spot now. read more

Fun dessert spot in Hell's kitchen. $10.25 for four scoops of gelato. Two of us got this to share and I think that's the move. Some decent portion size. It's very flavorful and smooth and milky gelato. I really liked it. The pretzel Gelato was absolutely my favorite. I feel the price is a little steep. I'd probably rather go to Anita gelato, which is close by. Lots of fun flavors to try here. read more

I stopped in for the first time the other night. It is a very large space which doesn't look big initially but extends very far back which supplies additional seating. The selection is extensive and the staff was very pleasant. Like everything else in NYC, a small cup, which they consider to be a regular is $8.75 but they do pile the gelato on. I ended up getting a cup of straciatella [chocolate chip] and I was looking for coffee gelato which was not available but they did have cappuccino which was a suitable alternative. It was delicious and they topped it off with a tasty cookie/wafer. The restaurant is very clean as are the restrooms. it was a pleasant experience and i would return and do recommend. read more

Wastin' away again in Gelatoville... Such a nice treat after dinner, especially if you were at a restaurant without a substantial dessert menu. It's great that you can pack in so many different flavors. Gelatoville: The eponymous flavor is definitely my favorite. I think it was some sort of apricot jam with chocolate. The flavors were just bursting! Glad I got this one top. Amarena Cherry: A classic gelato choice for me. Love the contrast of cream vanilla against the tart and sweet preserved cherries. Who needs a cherry on top when you can have a bunch mixed it. Strawberry Cheesecake: Nice for texture, since you get lots of cheesecake pieces mixed in the ice cream. Though not as flavorful as the rest. Pistachio: The only disappointing flavor. Didn't have a strong pistachio taste. Seemed heavily dyed green too. read more

The guy scooping the gelato was friendly and offered several samples, and was generous with the portions.

I was on a week long trip to Vermont and NYC during which had several failed attempts at treating myself with some good icecream. Finally, I discovered this during my late night walk on the last day. Really easy to spot the place, parking probably not that easy to find around this place. I took a subway, so I can't say for sure. Ambiance is really chic, interesting and clean. I really liked the place the moment I stepped in. The people at the counter were all very nice and friendly. I got dark chocolate(vegan) and mango(vegan). They were both very exceptional - really loved the mango flavor. They top the cup off with a wafer like cookie. Liked that as well. Will be back when I travel back to NYC in the future.

Great new gelato place in Hell's Kitchen! I got a medium sized cup, which comes with 3 flavors (3 generous scoops) for $8.25, which is a pretty good deal considering the size. The gelatoville flavor was my favorite, as it had a nice unique orange flavor with some chocolate bits. The cheesecake was also delicious, with some strawberry pieces/jam in there. The tiramisu is good if you are a fan of this classic dessert. The gelato in general had a nice creamy consistency. This place only opened up a couple weeks ago, so it seems like they are still working on the decor (somewhat bare in certain parts of the shop, but generally has a bright-colored environment). Along those same lines, it kind of smells like paint inside, but can't really blame them for that. There is a casual vibe inside and the staff are super friendly. Overall, Gelatoville has very high quality gelato with some good unique flavors (including plenty of vegan and non-vegan ones) and friendly service. Highly recommend if you are looking for a dessert in the area! read more

I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

I didnt order them, but I was able to sample it and they are all so good and strong!! The workers are really nice and patient when customers are picking flavors out. It can get long since its usually 1-2 workers, but its also a gelato place, so I get they wouldnt have so many employees at once. The space itself is small, so expect to find a spot outside to eat but there are benches along the windows.

I love that they draw inspo from Asian snacks to derive their flavors - it's what makes Sundaes Best unique! I surprisingly enjoyed Pineapple Thai Basil, which had the classic fruity flavor, but also a freshness from the basil, which was pleasant. You can sample as many flavors as you want. Not that many indoor seating options, but you're not too far from Herald Sq to grab an outdoor seat. Perfect post-dinner dessert spot if you're in the area!

When I came around 5 pm, it was quite empty, with two employees working at the time, both very friendly and eager to help! Heads up, there is no seating here and is more of a takeout spot. I decided to get two tarts at the time, a black sesame and a yuzu lemon, since I felt like those were quite unique. The tarts themselves are your standard size. The black sesame one was toasty and had pronounced flavoring, and the yuzu lemon had a nice zesty bite to it. When it comes to consistency and texture of the tart, I don't think this place has the most mind-blowing selection of tarts, but I would come back again if I wanted a quick, small dessert!

Selections, and they are always baking more!

This is a solid Japanese restaurant. I did not know until I walked in that I had been in this space…read morebefore. I'd eaten here when it was a Thai restaurant about three years ago. The place has been completely redone since then with a brand new interior and still looks fairly new, in addition to being very spacious. The food was excellent too. From previous reviews, it appears most people come here for the ramen, which are about $19 a bowl. My friends and I tried the tonkotsu ramen, shoyu ramen, and a butadon (pork rice bowl). Everything was delicious and flavorful. However, four stars is an accurate assessment. I've had better tasting ramen with a more flavorful broth, and a larger portion with more meat at slightly lower prices. The food is good but not the best either.

Prince Tea House

I am a frequent Prince Tea House goer, but I've never been to the KTown location which has always…read morebeen on my bucket list because of the nice wall decors! And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.

They don't rely on a laundry list of fancy toppings to hide behind; it's just the basics, executed flawlessly. I really appreciated that they keep it simple, giving you the choice of onion or no onion, letting the quality of the beef and the perfect sear speak for itself. Logistically, it's first-come, first-served seating where you're given a number. It wasn't too busy when I stopped by, so the process was seamless and quick. It's hard to imagine how they could make this any better without fundamentally changing what a smash burger is supposed to be. If you appreciate the classics done right, this is an absolute must-visit in NYC.

It was busy but not overcrowded, and we found a table outside. When you arrive, you order at the counter inside, receive a number, and then find a seat while your meal is prepared fresh. A server brings your food to your table once it is ready, it only took about 5-7 minutes for our food to arrive. I ordered the "All the Way" burger, their classic smash burger with mustard, diced onions, dill pickles, and cheese, along with fries and a gluten-free bun. The total came to about $17, including tax and tip. The burger was delicious. Smash burgers are my favorite, and this one was cooked perfectly with crispy edges while still moist. I also really appreciate that they offer a gluten-free bun. The burger and fries were a satisfying portion without feeling overly heavy. This is a casual spot, but it consistently delivers delicious food at a reasonable price. If you are looking for a classic smash burger in the neighborhood, I would recommend. I will certainly be back!
