  A friend and I checked out SkyIce yesterday night before a Blink-182/Lil Wayne concert at Barclays, and wow we were totally blown away by everything we tried!
  
  Firstly, the staff here is lovely and very, very nice - so warm and welcoming! You feel very taken care of here, and they pay consistent attention to your table, even simple things like refilling your water multiple times. I mention this as some places I've been to seem allergic to refilling water and, y'know, paying attention to you lol.
  
  The Krapraw Gai Sub is a must if you like things on the spicier side; the chicken and veggies have a delicious, flavorful kick to them. I highly recommend ordering the ((extremely good, perfectly sweet)) Thai Ice Tea as a cold complement to the dish, so you can cool down the heat! My Massaman Curry had a very rich coconut milk base with a dialed-down amount of spice, so I recommend it for those who are fans of something a bit more mild. I ordered it with roti, which was exactly as chewy and toasted over as I'd hoped.
  
  You probably have seen a ton of pictures of their ice cream sampler, and for good reason: there are many interesting flavors to try! My friend and I enjoyed getting the 12-flavor sampler; it felt like an adventure finding the ones we liked best. We're both chocolate fans so we really liked the Belgian Chocolate Brownie flavor (sadly, the Banana Nutella one was sold out, really wanted to try that), as well as the Caramel Sea Salt. Green Tea was refreshing, as well as the scoop of Thai Ice Tea. We didn't really take to the Durian, Mangosteen (tasted like medicine/weird vegetable!!), and I wanted to try the Lychee Rose sorbet too but they had run out.
  
  Anyhow, SkyIce is an absolutely perfect place to stop by before a Barclays show, especially to catch up with your friends in a cute and cozy spot. We got there at 5:30 on a Friday night and it wasn't packed at all. Go and enjoy!

  Had been meaning to try this for a while.  The palette offered the most variety, although only eleven flavors were available and thus I doubled up on the chocolate sorbet.  A few flavors were odd, such as the black sesame seaweed.  The cucumber and the mango were refreshing.  The top three for me were the thai tea, thai coffee, and caramel sea salt, with a possible tie for the latter two being best.

  This is a small mom and pop Thai restaurant that is known for the ice cream that they make in house. Thai food is definitely not in my wheelhouse of expertise, I suspect that 95% of my Thai food experience is Americanized take out Thai since I'm a spice weakling who can't handle fiery food. With that said, I did enjoy the food I had here, even if I could only get through half while downing my entire lovely thai iced coffee to neutralize the spiciness burning my tongue.
  
  Somtum: Papaya, Carrot, Tomato, String Beans, Peanut, Lettuce - This salad was a crisp way to clear our palate before starting on our spicy noodles. The ingredients were fresh and crunchy. This may be my own Thai food inexperience, but I was expecting ripe papaya - with the underripe tartness of the papaya, it actually went quite well with the other salad ingredients
  
  Pad Thai Woonsen: Clear Bean Thread Noodle, Egg, Peanuts, Bean Sprouts, Scallion, Turnip, Smoked Tofu and Sirloin beef - this is my own fault, in my head I thought pad thai was always made with a flat noodle which I was craving, but this was made with a thread noodle. Still quite delicious, and I have to make a point that the bean sprouts were actually fresh and crisp!
  
  My friend got a flat noodle with chicken which was absolutely delicious - I'm a total sucker for wide flat noodles.
  
  Of course we had to save room for the 12 scoop ice cream sampler! Tiny scoops of varying flavors (you get to choose) are plopped onto a platter for your enjoyment so you can decide which flavors you want to buy full pint sizes of to take home for later enjoyment. Some of the toppings are a little silly and do not compliment the flavors, but the ice cream itself is wonderful.
  * Thai Tea, Thai Coffee and Pea Flower Thai iced tea flavors - all delicious, but similar(but take that with a grain of salt since my tongue was still recovering from the spicy noodles)
  *Roasted Thai Coconut vs Belgian Chocolate Brownie - both had seriously buttery notes that makes me think they would be a dream on waffles
  *green tea, vanilla bean, caramel sea salt - all well done, but not striking
  *mango ice cream vs mango sorbet - Ah, I couldn't decide which I liked better, I think I need a pint of each to do some additional "research"
  *lychee rose sorbet - one of my favorite flavor combinations in general, this was light, refreshing - and would be amazing mixed into an alcoholic cocktail
  *cucumber lime - sleeper surprise, at first I wasn't sure if I liked it since the sorbet is almost salty, but the more I ate this, the more I really enjoyed it (would also go great in a cocktail). The sorbets would really be great in an alcoholic sort of ice cream float!
  
  I'll have to pick a couple of Thai friends' brains now to school myself on traditional vs americanized thai food. But regardless, I'd definitely come back for the lovely food and service here. They have creative ice cream floats, and between the drinks, food and service, this really is a neighborhood gem.

  It must have been an off day when I visited. Out of the 18 flavors of ice cream on their menu, they only had 5. I was kind of upset because I wanted to finally try the 12 scoop palette.
  
  I ended up ordering the 5 scoop sampler for $10.95. The toppings that they placed on top of the ice cream were either stale or unappetizing.
  
  Thai Tea- Still my favorite flavor. It never disappoints.
  
  Mango- Delicious and refreshing. You really taste the mango flavor.
  
  Vanilla Bean- Good.
  
  Black Sesame Seaweed- Not very strong with the black sesame flavor, which I do prefer, but it was just okay to me.
  
  Roasted Thai Coconut- I wasn't particularly fond of the savory taste, it really overpowered the coconut flavor.
  
  Despite my complaints, the quality of the ice cream is always good. Next time, I'll call and ask how many flavors they have before visiting. I still want to try the 12 scoop palette.

  Horrible service! My cousin and I wanted to go in for some ice cream to go. We walked up the counter where there were 2 people trying to put out orders to their dine-in customers and 1 guy taking phone orders. We stood there in front of them for maybe 2 minutes before the guy acknowledged us and said he'd be right with us. The 2 other women who were trying to figure out the orders definitely saw us when we first walked in, but said nothing. We continued to stand there and wait and then I asked if we could try some ice cream. One of the women said "give us a minute" or something to that extent. We seriously just wanted some ice cream and we knew what flavors we wanted. This would have been a quick transaction but they didn't seem to value our business. So we got tired of being ignored and went to Ample Hills where we were PROMPTLY served.
