Quite expensive for a little cup of fried ice cream and for how simple it is. They said they were out of chocolate but didn’t mark it on the board. An extra $1 for toppings is a little expensive in my opinion, but it is NYC so that’s expected. I ordered the cookies and cream with fruity pebbles and condensed milk. Seeing the drizzle of condensed milk they gave me I just had to laugh at how little they put on. But the breading is delicious and adds a nice flavor and texture with the ice cream. The ice cream stays cold even though it’s fried. The other people I went with were anticipating chocolate, so they were disappointed. They stuck with salted caramel and condensed milk which was simple. Then cookies and cream with powdered sugar. The powdered sugar was a late addition while he was putting it in the computer. When we received the ice cream they forgot the powdered sugar. Overall yummy and a nice sweet treat when walked around Chinatown. But I think there are better dessert places. Inside is small with seating. Their cooking area and everything is entirely behind the front counter. It’s cool to see them make it. Employees were friendly and nice.

Love this place I think I rated it before it's a hidden Gem in the lower east side of the city with it own set of new restaurant lounge's other stores on orchard Street very fun place to go for adults and if children earlier time. so the menu is like steps on how to order you pick the ice cream first then the topping you want around the ice cream which I picked fruity pebbles and they drop it in this huge deep fryer then pick the toppings which they charge 50cents for certain ones. I picked Carmel and whipped cream. All together it's comes out over $7. depending how many extra flavors you want. Then if your in there mood for fried Oreos you get 5 of them for for $6. This place is open everyday except Monday and Tuesday also opens at 3pm. I wish there was more of them a place to go for sure. Yes it has changed only the prices went up a little but still great place to go.

Delicious and wonderful different take on ice cream, but the shop is only open on Fri, Sat and Sun. The basic fried ice cream is a really big scoop of fried ice cream with a drizzle for $7 where you have 9 flavors (including 2 vegan, $1 extra), 4 crust and drizzle options. They also have 6 different toppings options for an extra 50 cents. They also sell just ice cream by scoop. We had the blueberry cheesecake ice cream and strawberry ice cream with regular bread crust and both of them were really good. The ice cream scoop is first dipped in a thick sweet batter and then crusted and fried in oil. The heat from the frying makes a nice temperature variation as you cut into it which is quite enjoyable and unique. The crust is thick enough that no oil enters the ice cream, keeping it delightfully great.

Sam's Fried Ice Cream is a small, hole-in-the-wall shop in Chinatown that specializes in, you guessed it, fried ice cream. The concept is simple: ice cream is flash-fried in a tempura batter until it forms a crispy shell, then it's topped with your choice of sauces and toppings.

The fried ice cream at Sam's is delicious. The ice cream is creamy and flavorful, and the batter is perfectly crispy. The sauces and toppings are also top-notch, and there's a wide variety to choose from.

I tried the original fried ice cream with chocolate sauce and whipped cream, and it was amazing. The ice cream was perfectly frozen, and the batter was perfectly crispy. The chocolate sauce was rich and chocolaty, and the whipped cream was light and fluffy.

I also tried the Oreo crust fried ice cream with caramel sauce and sprinkles, and it was just as good. The Oreo crust added a nice bit of crunch, and the caramel sauce was sweet and gooey.

The service at Sam's is friendly and efficient. The staff is happy to answer any questions you have about the menu, and they're quick to bring you your food.

Overall, Sam's Fried Ice Cream is a great place to go for a delicious and unique dessert. The ice cream is delicious, the batter is perfectly crispy, and the sauces and toppings are top-notch. I highly recommend checking it out.

Here are some of the things that make Sam's Fried Ice Cream a great place to eat:

Delicious fried ice cream: The fried ice cream at Sam's is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and cooked to perfection. Wide variety of sauces and toppings: There's a wide variety of sauces and toppings to choose from, so you can customize your fried ice cream to your liking. Friendly and efficient service: The staff at Sam's is friendly and efficient and goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great dining experience. If you're looking for a delicious and unique dessert, I highly recommend Sam's...
