Absolutely loved the ice cream. I got the toasted rice with toasted rice bits on top and black sesame sauce. Texture and taste of the toasted rice ice cream was phenomenal. Would highly recommend. The person working there was also so so nice.

Pandan and toasted rice

Just happened to walk past this place and decided to pop in. It's a fun concept! Sundaes with Asian inspired ice cream flavors, a topping, and a drizzle. Very small scoop shop with seating for maybe one party and some standing room. Limited to a couple flavors for samples. We got the toasted rice and pandan with mochi and black sesame drizzle. The ice cream texture was nice and creamy with some decent body. Flavors came through and that black sesame drizzle is to die for. The employees were also very friendly. Would definitely come back again!

We really enjoyed Noona's! We came at about 7pm on Sunday, didn't get the persons name working but she was lovely. Decent amount of flavors were sold out, but we ended up getting Toasted Rice and Pandam... the black sesame drizzle on top was super flavorful too. Will be back to try some of the other flavors!

The concept of this store is great, offering unique asian inspired flavors like ube, pandan, and strawberry yuzu. However, the ice cream's temperature needs some work. By the time I received my scoop, it was already halfway melted, which was pretty disappointing. I also didn't love that you're limited to only two or three tasting flavors per person either

Super friendly service! I went pretty late into the day so there weren't a ton of unique flavors left. I was able to sample the Ube Latte, which was really great, but ended up opting for Pandan (basic, I know). I wouldn't say it was anything otherworldly, but the pandan was really fragrant and nice. I also got to try the Banana Mochi, which was tasty as well! I also enjoyed the the single scoop comes with a sauce and topping:-) Small shop, but we were able to stand by the counter to enjoy the ice cream. I'd come back to try the other flavors!

banana pudding mochi ice cream

Got the banana pudding mochi ice cream and I loved it SO MUCH. This is like if Magnolia Bakery's banana pudding was in ice cream form. I always get a small at other places to share with friends and I find that to be good enough, but here I kinda wished I didn't share with my friend because of how much I enjoyed it. The workers were really friendly and the scoops were pretty generous. When I came there were a few flavors that were sold out but I don't think that's something people should really be complaining about because this is a pretty small shop and it's similar to bakeries selling out of certain items as the day progresses lol.

This ice cream shop offers some really fun and unique Asian flavors! Mostly a grab-and-go spot, this shop is a bit small and there's no seating. The staff here is so friendly though, and I had so much fun chatting with her as we tried different flavors. We ended up getting their ube + Vietnamese coffee flavor as well as their black sesame. I personally loved their black sesame as you could taste the actual black sesame in the ice cream. Would definitely love to come back if I were in the area!

Banana pudding mochi, pandan, and black sesame and white cookie ice cream ($10.65)

We loved the delicious, creamy, and novel flavors at this small ice cream shop. We ordered the banana pudding mochi, black sesame and white cookie, and pandan sampler ($10.65). Each order comes with a free topping and drizzle; we only got the extra mochi. Given the price of ice cream parlors these days, this three-scoop price was actually a deal. The scoops were very generous. My favorite flavor was the pandan. The banana pudding mochi was a bit too sweet for me. I wish there had been more black sesame in the black sesame and white cookie, though the concept was certainly unusual. Seating was very limited; there were only seats for two people or so. I'm hoping to try the toasted rice and ube next time. Definitely a great addition to the neighborhood.

Cute and cozy shop

I was surprised when I saw a line to order. It was a weekend and also drizzling and there was only one individual working, so I did not mind waiting, no complaints here. However, the ice cream was sweeter than i like, it was good, but it was very hard for me to finish because it was just so heavy on the sugar where it made me feel sick. But still a cute artisanal ice cream shop in a very populated area.

Had here expectations for Noona's but was a bit overwhelmed. To be fair, we also came here a little later in the evening so half of the flavors were sold out. We split the ube latte with vietnamese coffee ice cream and banana pudding mochi ice cream. The vietnamese coffee kind of overpowered the use flavor, but it was still pretty solid. I didn't get any mochi chunks in the banana pudding mochi flavor, which was a little disappointing since I was really looking forward to the texture. Otherwise, it's how you would imagine banana pudding in ice cream form to taste! I really like the concept of Asian-inspired flavors, so even though it wasn't particularly a memorable first experience I'd definitely be open to trying it again.

Tried the toasted rice with mochi and black sesame drizzle ($8). So good, dare I say it rivals caffe panna?? I am definitely partial to their Asian-inspired flavors and need to come back to try more!

Exceptional ice cream. Some of the most unique and delicious asian ice cream i've had. Queue is kind of weird and starts at the back. Service is really slow but attentive. Will come back to try other flavors but banana pudding mochi was amazing.

Pandan ice cream with Coconut Crunch and Mochi
James B.

I stopped by here today because I heard they had unique asian flavors, wasn't particularly impressed. Flavor choice: They were sold out of almost everything. An ice cream place with barely any ice cream :| I settled on the pandan. The ice cream quality: The ice cream itself was good, the mochi was also good, the coconut crunch was stupid. Way too sweet and didn't even taste much coconut. Service: the staff was very nice, not particularly knowledgeable about all of the items they sold there, but they were very nice. Overall: I Likely won't be back to, but if you go, avoid the coconut crunch.

This gelateria I…read morecan't believe it took me so long to discover it. Located in New York, small quiet spot, you can't wait inside, it a take out thing, I don't care! Their gelato is delicious and so rich! I was so happy!

Tiny, clean desert place. No bathrooms for customers…read more Staff are accommodating. Don't be afraid to try to sample the gelatos. Sample them all until you choose the flavor you like. There are different types of cold treats: gelatos and more slushie like consistency frozen confections that are served in a cup. My vegan friend appreciated that he could choose from multiple vegan flavors, not just be limited to the one and only offering, which is what most places usually have. Melon flavor was incredible. Tasted like frozen melon was crushed with ice and chopped into an ice/smoothie blend. Super refreshing. Very sweet, though. All flavors are very sweet, so a small portion can be shared and you will feel satisfied. I personally enjoyed their in-house special flavor of gelato: honey cream with crushed almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts. That was bombastic! Love how nutty the consistency was. I love nuts, so this almost reminded me of a chunky peanut butter situation: just more fine grained and smooth, with gelato being the base. Highly recommend trying this flavor! Focacia was okay. A bit too dry and bland for my liking, but still decent. My favorite item was the pistachio bombolone which is officially now my favorite dessert. This was magnificent! The yeasty dough was so light and airy--perfectly light and balanced. The filling of pistachio cream was very delicate and not sweet at all, which was such a nice surprise. I do not like saccharine dessert. The fresh raspberry jam was a perfect balance to the pistachio cream. I never like jams in my desserts, but this was a perfect complement. Woooow, what a treat! Can't wait to return for it and to try more of their other flavors--hazelnut & chocolate, coconut, white chocolate, tiramisu. You could taste the superb quality of the ingredients. Highly recommend.

Amazing Ice Cream Shop on East 10th Street off 3rd Avenue…read more Awesome selection of ice cream and gelato in traditional and unique flavors, many Asian, like lavender, ginger, etc. They have a frequent visitor membership rewards and bet there are many, like myself, who take advantage given frequent visits year round. The service is always great. Sometimes the Moms and Dads visiting their kids at NYU clog up the front with a LOT of questions, but usually very quick for a large waffle cone with 2 scoops. If dining at other venues in the area, skip desert and stop here for a special treat!

Don't remember what I had the previous 20+ years I went there after a group dinner. This time I was influenced & specifically took a bus over for their corn ice cream. It's STILL the summer of corn. Prices are now average - good for a scoop $7.50 & the portion is good compared to other craft ice cream shops in LES. The corn flavor was good. Medium flavor with that corn sweetness. The quality of the ice cream was excellent, medium creamy & very smooth with the teeniest bit of corn blended. Sampled the hazelnut which was great also - like a thick gelato. Would like to try the lychee next time. They have probably 20 different flavors, displayed well. The staff is patient & very nice. The space is very big for a business in the East Village with mostly a waiting area. 4-5 seats are up front & they set up a few plastic chairs on the side. On a 90°F day, the shop was filled with customers & groups. A stantion at the door with directions for 2 lines would help manage things better.
