SkyIce Thai Food & Ice Cream — Restaurant in New York

Ever since my trip to Thailand, I have a sweet spot for thai food. When I tell you that this is a very authentic restaurant, I mean it. The fact that they serve Halal food is a +star on its own. The food is flavored with all the spices and aromatics Thailand is known for. I was on the hunt for a good Khao Soi and Massaman curry and let just me say, my search is over. The broth for both dishes are extremely falvorful and bring you back to Thailand. I could taste the coconut, galangal, lemongrass and chillies. The balance was absolutely perfect. I've had my shares of overly sweet/spicy Khao Soi to be able to say that balance is key. The Massaman curry was slightly sweet from the coconut and thats normal, as compared to the Khao Soi which is spicy, the Massaman is not a spicy curry.

We also tried their Green curry fried rice, Mama's fried rice and their Basil fried rice. Our favorite of the three were the Green curry and Mama's fried rice. We asked for very spicy and they definitely delivered. This was much appreciated as not many restaurants can make spicy yet flavorful food. The Basil fried rice lacked the Basil flavor. I grow my own Thai Basil as home and make the Basil fried rice a lot. Don't want to brag but I perfected my recipe and love my own Basil fried rice. But it's always nice when someone else is cooking the food for you so I will definitely give it another try but ask for extra basil.

We couldn't come to SkyIce and not try their Ice Creams! We had the 12 samplers plate. Our favorites were the White Miso (Don't knock it till you try it), which had a slight salty and sweet flavor and we couldn't resist but buy a pint of. We also loved the Thai ice coffee flavor and Thai tea flavors as well. The toasted coconut was light in flavor but still good. Also loved the all time favorite Mango ice cream (didn't try the mango sorbet thought, next time!). The black sesame and seaweed was really good as well. The Cucumber and lime was light and refreshing and I definitely see myself having that on a hot summer day. We were freezing our butts on that day as it was cold outside. Can't say no to ice cream just because of the weather!

All this to say, this will definitely be a regular...

This restaurant was a delightful experience after a long day of working media at the Liberty Game via The9450 and 21Titles (if you like to follow real women’s basketball content please follow both of those channels). The Liberty won their first playoff game and I was HUNGRY AFTER!!

My husband and I strolled up the street with our kids passing a few pizza shops (I’m not coming to BK for PIZZA 🤦🏾‍♀️) and then I seen it out of the corner of my eye across the street “SKY ICE: THAI FOOD AND ICE CREAM”. I was sold at Thai food and my son was sold at ice cream.

This is a small quaint family owned business that serves authentic Thai food and unfamiliar to the American palate, very unique ice cream and sorbet flavors. I sampled a few sorbets (Raspberry Cilantro/Tamarind Chili/Mango) and one ice cream (Matcha). The raspberry cilantro really blew me away because it was indeed a great flavor profile. Very berry and floral, but I ultimately ended my meal with a cone of Tamarind Chili 🌶️, which was SO GOOD. (I was the kid in the Bronx that enjoyed the tamarind icee flavors from the Coquito man of that gives any context lol)

I had the lemongrass fried rice with tofu and vegetables and the flavor, aromatics and crunch of the vegetables was exactly what I was looking for. Flavor in every bite and seasoned to PERFECTION. I only give it a 9/10 because I would’ve liked the tofu to have been a different texture.

My husband had the pineapple fried rice that he loved with shrimp and a side of green curry. The green curry was exceptional because it made my nose sweat (that’s my measuring stick for curries, if your nose doesn’t drip just a lil then it’s not really authentic to me lol).

My son ate the rice with some curry but his highlight was devouring the mango sorbet sugar cone.

I can’t wait to come back here and try a different rice and some spring rolls and another unique dessert flavor.

This is right up the street from the Barclays and I’m happy I chose this spot as our post game meal!!! Thank you!! I will make it back at some...

My first Thai food meal in like 2 years. See, I used to live in San Francisco, but due to circumstances I had to relocate to South Florida. Which is basically the 6th Borough of New York. So on my latest visit back to New York, I was telling my buddy how I hadn't had Thai Food in so long. He tells me there's this place that sorta resembles an ice cream parlor, but they make great food as well. I used to eat Thai food or Dim Sum like everyday livin out in Frisco. But, down in sunny south FLA, they don't have these types of places. Or at least, I can't find one. Anyways, let me lay the ground rules on when I try a new restaurant or place to eat. I go w/ the basics.

Italian Restaurant--Chicken Parm Pizza Joint--Plain Slice of Cheese Pizza Get my drift?

Plus, I always ask the staff, whats best. So of course I ordered up their No-Carb Pad Thai. Actually, the guy who took my order, I think he was the owner recommended it to me, and than I told him how I just love Peanut Sauce. He brought me out an order of the chicken and an order of the shrimp satay in Peanut Sauce. FREAKIN AWESOME!!!

I can't even express the deserts. Names of ice cream flavors that I've never heard of. I went all out. I ordered a $10.50 desert. They call it, The Snow Storm. FIVE SCOOPS of Ice Cream (remember now, I had the No-carb entree) w/ chocolate chips, whip cream, choc and strawberry sauce on top of: Banana Mix Nut Ice Cream, Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream & Vanilla Bean, I asked him to just make 5 scoops of those flavors. It was insanely good. So good that I actually bought a pint of ice cream to take back to my boys apartment.

I was up there for a week, I went there two more times.

Great food, great service...I'll Be Back...
