I'm always a bit skeptical whenever I visit a place with a perfect 5.0 review, especially for gelato -- I've had my fair share of misses and flops from eating lots of artificial, icy, overwhipped frozen desserts masquerading as gelato. Sundaes Best rose to the occasion and shattered my prejudice and is worthy of its 5.0 stars for a combination of excellent flavors and terrific service!
Upon arrival I was happy to see whimsical flavors inspired by Korean culture featured on the menu. They all looked really good and I wanted to try them all! Luckily the young lady who was working at the counter let me taste multiple flavors, which usually doesn't fly in many ice cream shops. Other shops only let you taste one or two flavors at most; here, they let you taste more! And she gave such a generous portion, too! (And she was smart enough to put the sorbet scoop on top of the gelato scoop -- good employee training and good common sense, both of which are rare nowadays.) Shoutout to the young lady working on Friday 7/4 at 6pm!
The Jeju Mandarin was sweet and mellow, and felt nostalgic because it tasted like the Lotte Sac Sac drinks I had as a kid. The Honey Makgeoli really tasted like makgeoli -- it had a pleasant, mild yeasty flavor with a smooth aftertaste, and there's an ever so faint buzz you feel that puts a smile on your face. The Nurungji tasted just like those traditional Korean crispy puffed rice snacks; it had a very nice, creamy mouthfeel and a sweet and nutty flavor that is perfect for indulging (I got a scoop of this -- it was really good). The Brown Sugar Milk Tea is very subtle and not too sweet (if you're the type of person who orders their milk tea at 50% sweetness, you will enjoy this greatly). The Mango sorbet is a classic crowdpleaser (almost all gone by the time I had arrived). The Kalamansi is a super kick in the tastebuds -- if you love Warheads and really sour candies, this is definitely up your alley. I think every single papilla on my tongue was all perked up after finishing my scoop (but it wasn't unpleasantly sour, it had a beautiful citrusy taste and you could really taste the essential oil of the fruit).
I will definitely come visit again to try the remaining flavors! Seems like they will not be lacking in business because soon after I had arrived, a line quickly formed behind me! So make sure you get to Sundaes Best early enough to ensure you get a scoop of the flavor of your choice! Keep up the great work you guys! You've...
Read moreI really wanted to try this place and the gelato was good but the young chinese girl working there said something insulting to me. I also paid almost $10 for two scoops if rounded so it was a bit pricey the thing I’m upset about is how she gave me the smallest amount ever, and all the reviews say how they gave a good amount of gelato for the price. I thought ok it’s fine until I see two customers walk past me and I also see they got gelato and their cup was so full with two tall scoops. The sides of my cup was empty since the scoops were so small they didn’t fully fill the cup and it was short height not tall like gelato stacked on top. So then I said to myself ok I am not being dramatic because when I compared my cup to the reviews and customers I got such a small amount compared to what I paid for… the service could have been better the worker was very stuck up and rude but the gelato was ok… idk I want to come back if there is...

The ice cream selection is fantastic, offering a variety of classic flavors alongside some unique creations you won’t find anywhere else. I tried their salted caramel pretzel and mango sorbet, both of which were absolutely delicious—rich, creamy, and full of flavor. If you like toppings, they have a generous variety to customize your scoop just the way you like it.
The service was quick, even though the shop was fairly busy when I visited. It’s clear that they care about quality, as everything...
